Mr.. Perkins fatty denied that he knew
of any concerted action by the financia
interests in Wall street.
Mr.. Perkins was evidently a willing wit
ness and answered all questions with an
air of cheerfulness. He was armed with
a. voluminous sheaf of documents which
he laid on the table before him. From
time to time he would consult his papers
before answering questions. He said that,
as he remembered it, he gave $4,000 or
$4,000 to the 1904 fund.
whenever Mr.. Bliss would get
short or funds would get low," he
said, 81 would make a contribution Of
$4,000 or $4,000 And the witness
smiled over his glasses at the COM
mittee.
Chairman Clapp asked what contri-
buttons Mr.. Perkins knew of outside
of his own.
II was connected with the New York
Life Insurance Company and 1 knew
Of that company's contribution" said
Mr.. Perkins.
Reads Lengthy Statement.
Mr. Perkins produced lengthy
statement regarding the contributions
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, which the committee allowed
him to read into the record.
The statement quoted at length
from the testimony of the late John
II. Mccall. president of the New York
Life Insurance Company, before the
Armstrong insurance investigating
committee, to show that the New York
Life Insurance Company contribution
was made to defeat the free silver
heresies' Of William Jennings Bryan
Mr.. Perkins argued that the money
was given to insure the establishment
Of gold standard, for the protection
and that. therefore, it was proper to
use the money of the policyholders.
Crowd Listens Attentively.
The committee and a small crowd
Of spectators listened attentively as
Mr.. Perkins read. The witness grew
earnest as, concluding the statement,
he read:
Upholds Mr.. Mccall.
Il believed at the time and have al
ways since believed. that in this trans
he would have been untrue to his trust,
weak and cowardly. had he taken any
other course than he did. There is no
question but that the thoroughly I'M
scrlpulous, dastardly attacks upon Mr..
Mccall by certain portions of the sensa-
tional press of the country brought
about his untimely DEATH yet it is most
significant fact that in all this criticism
of both him and me not a single policy
holder, so far as l am aware, out Of the
many thousands in the New York Life,
ever wrote single letter of criticism or
complaint Of what we did, either to Mr.
Mccall or myself
without any law or regulation to
guide u.s. impressed with the great re-
sponsibility we were carrying, firmly
believing that the democratic party
was advocating financial theories
which. IL enacted into laws. would
most seriously affect the assets Of the
policyholders Of the New York Life.

overcoat he had on the evening he was
shot The hole in the right breast

could plainly see the small puncture.
The colonel walked from his room
to the wheel chair in the corridor. The
trip from his apartment on the west
side of the building through the long
corridor to the entrance OH the 18th
street side was made in a few minutes.
He was accompanied by DIR. Murphy
and Mrs. Roosevelt.
On the way through the hospital
doors of the various rooms were open
and the patients vino were able called
a greeting to him and wished him a
safe journey. Ever since the time the
colonel awoke there was an air of eX-
pcctancy in the corridors of the hos
pital.
In the street there was a large crowd
nf waiting spectators. who also shout
cd a greeting as the colonel appeared
IN his wheel chair.

Places Said to Have Tried
on Garment at Saks'.

Mrs. Saks. wife of A. Saks, who con-
ducts the business of the Saks Fur
Company, at 1912 F street northwest,
this afternoon identified photographs
of Mary Bradley, alias Miller. alias May
Leonard, as likenesses Of a woman who
was recently in the store and who
taken from the store yesterday morn
ing.
Following the breaking Of the store
window at an early hour yesterday morn
ing and the taking Of fur coat and err
mine set valued at $500. the police learned
from Baltimore today that William l..
Edwards, alias F. H. Bradley. alias F.
Miller. had been arrested there for the
alleged theft of furs valued at $3.50 from
a store in that city.
Photographs Are Obtained.
1t was learned from the Baltimore po-
lice that the man under arrest in that
city and his wife had been arrested in
Louisville, KY. last year. and photo
graphed. From the records of the bureau
of Identification the local police obtained
Of Miller and his wife.

had been photographed in Louisville.
KY. and Hartford, Conn. and both
were identified by MIS-.
Saks. 1t is said that the coat Mrs.
Miller tried on was a perfect fit and

the broken window at the Saks Fur Com
pany's store, indicating that the window
and robbery was perpetrated
after O'Clock in the morning.
Crawled Through Window.
The coat that was taken from the Saks
store here was on a dummy, and it is
explained that it was necessary for the
robber to crawl through the opening in
the window to get it.
The stolen property was not insured
against burglars. Surprise was ex-
pressed by the police that the crash
ing Of the glass did not make noise
enough to attract the attention Of a
policeman or other pedestrian.
Detective Cox went to Baltimore to-
day to see the prisoner and to ascer
tain if possible if the articles taken
from the F street store could be To-
Gated. 1t is said that the man ar
rested in Baltimore was caught near
the store that was robbed in that city.

HIGH WATER IN CLEARWATER
EXPECTED

Lewiston, Idaho, April Especial,
"All reports point to extreme high
water this year." said Sheriff John
Gaffney. of Clearwater county, who
was an arrival in the city yesterday.
There is more snow low down to
20 eff, with the snow on the higher
mountains than ever before known,
continued Mr.. Gaffney.
THE reports brought to Orofino
from all sections of the mountain
country indicate there is more snow
10 go cut this year than at this
season of the year in 1894, the year
of the great freshet The cool wealth
er has held back the snow on the
hills aid low mountains ard recent
storms have added to the depth on
the higher mountains. 1t is reason
able to believe the Clearwater val
ley will experience extreme high
water this year.
A report received last night from
Grangeville stated that Peter Brock
eLeur had just arrived from the
South Fork country and reported
more snow in the mountains in that
locality than ever before at this sea
cen of the year. Mr.. Brockeneul
states that all oldt timers predict re
cord freshets the later part of May
or early in June.

BIG REDUCTION IN
WOOL RATES

Radical reductions in freight rates
on wool both in sacks and in bales
transported from western points of
I1iein to eastern destinations have
been prescribed by the interstate COM
merce commission. The opinion was
handed down by Chairman Prouty. 1t
holds that the present rate of $l.15
a hundred pounds on wool in sacks
from Col. common points to st. Louis
should not exceed 80 cents and that
from points west of Cheyenne, Wyo.
on the Union Pacific, and Trinidad,
Cch1aCo, on the Santa Fe, rate to
st. Louis might be two cents high
er for each additional $50 miles. On
the Denver & Rio Grande rate of
80 cents Is authorized from the first
STATEN west of Pueblo, with a SINH
lar 2 cent increase from points furth-
err west.
Concerning the rates to be applied
on through shipments from west
points to Boston and New York,
Chairman Prouty said they should be
constructed 'by adding to the rates
Irtsc1ited to st. Louis, in case of
sacked wool So cents to Boston and
4S cents to New York; in case of
baled wool, AZ cents to Boston and
AZ cents to New York"
In the judgment of the commission
transit privileges should be allowed
at intermediate points on a direct
1ine by payment of 212 cents a hun
dred, on condition that the shipments
originated west of the Mississippi.
In certain instances the commission
permits the carriers to exact high
er rate for short than long haul
The carriers are expected to con
form to the commissions sugges-
tions by May /. If by that date
they have not conformed a definite
order will be issued Montpelier Elk.

Hands Up!


 All this time Lieutenant Mallory had been thinking as hard as an of. hcer in an ambuscade. His narrowing experiences and incessant defeats oi the past days had unnerved him and shattered his self-confidence He was not afraid, but intensely disgusted. He sat ahsent-mindedly batting Marjorie on the back and repeating:
 Don't worry, honey; they're not going to hurt anybody. They don't want anything but our money. Don't worry, won't let 'em hurt you"
 But he could not shake of a sensc Of nausea. He felt himself a repre- sentative of the military prowess of the country, and here he was as help less as man on parole.
 The fact that Mallory was a sol. dier occurred to a number of the pas sengers simultaneously. They had been trained by early studies in those beautiful works Of fiction, the school histories of the United States. and by many Fourths of July, to believe that the American soldier is an invincible being, who has never been defeated and never known fear.
 They surged up to Mallory in a wave of hope Dr. Temple. being near est, spoke first. Having learned by experience that his own prayers were not always answered as he wi 5hed. had an impulse to try some weapon he had never used
