Nine Of the Accused Men
Not Called to Stand.

Of California and also assisted in speed
ing Mrs. Captain out Of the state to pre-
vent her from being a witness against
the Times murderers, We're among
those not called to the stand.
Webb Of New York was another who
did not go on the stand 1t was he who,
McManigal said, arranged for the Bos-
ton Opera House and Hoboken Jobs
and who paid the %dynamiter $50 which,
he said. Mike Young Of Dayton had
sent him, thinking that McManlgal
would go first to New York and then
come to Boston.
Buffers Bail Increased.
Hockin was another who did not tes-
tify, but this was expected, as his rec
ord was so plain his testimony would
have injured all the defendants. The
complete list Of the defendants not tes-
tifying Is:
Il. II. Hockin, Frank G. Webb, Ed
ward Smythe Of Peoria, Eugene Clancy
of San Francisco, ]. e. Munsey of Salt
Lake, 0. A. Tvietmoe, James e. Ray

Just before court adjourned the dis
trict attorney moved that the bond Of
John r. Butler Of Buffalo be increased.
He said that Butler had stated in the
courtroom that he wished to God he
had stayed in Quebec" as he knew the
crime vas not e1traditable, and for the
courts protection the bond ought to be
increased.
Judge Anderson increased Buffers
bond to $4,000 and said:
This man swore to what he knew
was untrue. He made many conflict
ing statements, and l believe he COM
United willful perjury. l have been on
the bench and about courtrooms for
thirty-four years. and l never heard
such malicious perjury as has been
committed in this case"
Butler was the principal witness Of
the day. He fatty denied that any
money had been set aside 'for organi-
cation purposes and not accounted for
afterward by Mcnamara, but on cross
examination he admitted that as an
officer Of the organization he had as
sisted In auditing the books. His at
tention being called to checks In the
sums of $500 and $1,000 payable to
J.. j. Mcnamara and noted on the stubs
as 'set aside by the executive board
for organization purposes" he said that
he held the check book at one OF the
auditors sessions. but he did not recall
that the checks excited any comment
or were regarded as unusual.

MORGAN READY
TO TELL STORY
will Appear Before Puio
Money Probsrs.

Washington, Dec. 18.-J. Pierpont
Morgan and several Of his partners,
with a small army Of lawyers. arrived
In Washington to testify before the
Puje investigating committee. MI.
Morgan probably will not be called to-
day, and he and the other members OF
his party viii be obliged to remain over
until tomorrow. The committee noh-
fed Mr.. Morgan's counsel owe the tele-
phone yesterday afternoon that they
would not be ready for him today, but
the 1nancier nevertheless picked up his
baggage and his lawyers and started
for the scene of action.
1t is understood that Mr.. Morgan will
not be called to the witness stand I'M
til a basis has been established by the
committee through expert testimony
for questioning him in regard to the
concentration of banking In
New York city.
Mr.. Morgan's appearance before the
so called money trust committee prom
ises to be more belligerent than his ap-
pearance before the campaign contribu-
ton committee. That Is the construc-
ton that is being placed upon the cir
cumstance that Mr.. Morgan Is accom-
panied to Washington this time by a
large corps of lawyers. Before the
Clapp committee Mr.. Morgan was not
represented by counsel.
Among the lawyers that trooped INTO
Washington with the %lnancier were K.
A. Lindabury, who is known particu-
larly as counsel for the Pennsylvania
railroad; Francis Lynde stetson, George
B. Case, who is affiliated with several
of the Morgan institutions, and VII
liam F. Sheehan.

former Senator John G. Spooner and

WILSON WATCH

Says Ne Will Not Tolerate
Old Guards Return.

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 1s.-Woodrow
Wilson came back to the ~statehouse In
a fighting spirit and issued a warning
to the voters Of the state against poll
ticians who have opposed his progress
sive policies and who, he said, would
again seek to control the state govern
ment as loon as he steps from the gov
ernorship. He urged that their plans
should be blocked at nee
II have been surprised" says the
president elects statement, 'by the nu-
merous inquiries as to whether l would
continue to take interest in the political
affairs Of the state after assuming my
duties as president, and yet ! realize
the significance of these inquiries. Last
summer I warned the voters Of the
state very explicitly that the men who
formerly controlled and discredited our
politics were awaiting their opportu-
nifty to ecover their control and were
expecting to find it. What l then said
has been abundantly verified by what
has happened In the interval.
II am keenly aware OF the fact that
these men have so little respect for the
voters Of New Jersey that they think
all they have to do IL to wait to come
back into power. They will be sorely
disappointed. They cannot again I'M
pose upon the voters of New Jersey.
If they should in some evil moment re-
cover control of the party machinery
they will only ruin the party and put 1t
permanently out of power. Every step
they take. therefore, to r~e-establish
their power should be at once exposed
and stopped.
1.-THE people OF the state need not fear
that 1 win become Indifferent as long
as their confidence encourages me to
believe that they wish my aid and coun-
sci. I shall In the future use every
proper and legitimate power l have and
every influence at my disposal to sup
port and assist the new forces which
have regonepted our life during the
past two years.
II shall not 60 slack In this business,
for I understand my duty to be to stand
back Of the progressive forces in the
DeAocratic party everywhere and at
every j%uncture, and 1 feel that In these
matters l am under particular obhga-
tons Of conscience and gratitude to the
people of New Jersey"

DISTRICT READY TO
AID IN MARYLAND
SEWAGE PROBLEM
Superintendent Phillips Says
He Will Cooperate
With Officials.

Plans are being made by 4. K.
Phillips, superintendent of sewers for
the disposal by the District of the sew
age of adjacent Maryland towns, in the
event of the passage by the Maryland
legislature of legislation providing for
the installation and maintenance of
connecting sewers. The District Mr..
Phillips said today, will be in readi-
ness to cooperate with Maryland by
the time an appropriation for the
project is obtained.
While of the opinion that better
results might have been obtained by
the State board of health, Supt. Phillips
today gave his approval to the bill for
the appointment OF a commission
of representatives of Prince George
and Montgomery counties, to serve
two years without pay, in inves-
the disposal of the sewage and drain
age within the Wheaton and Bethesda
election districts of Montgomery coun-
ty. and Vansville, Hyattsville, Chillum,
and Bladensburg districts of Prince
George county.
The bill probably will be introduced
in the Maryland legislature this week.
and the report of the commission will
be submitted to the next legislature
An appropriation of $1,000 Is provided
for defraying the expenses of the COM
mission.
The interest of the District I'm CO.
operating with Maryland in the disposal
of its sewage lies in saving Rock
creek and other streams from pollu-
ton. The project has been advocated
several years by Supt. Phillips and has
the Endorsement Of Health Officer
Woodward and many prominent physi-
clans of Maryland.

Big Stock of Trunks
Comes to Washington

That Washington IS known to the
people of other cities not only as the
seat of National Government, but as a
place occupied and visited by probably
more persons of the travellers class than
any other city of its size, is evidenced
by the thousands of trunks annually
sold here. 1t was evidently the knowl.
edge that this city has a larger colony
Of transients than ordinary places OF
it's size that prompted the owners of a
Buffalo trunk factory to seek a market
here for thousands of trunks which
were slightly smoked and dampcned in
recent fire at the concerns establish
ment.
Buyers for S. Kann, Sons & Co. who
viewed the enormous collection %
trunks, were informed that they could
obtain the entire stock of the trunks al
a very low price. Consequently, the
entire stock has been moved to this
city. and is now on sale at the Busy
Corner, Eighth street and Market
Space. The trunks cover an entire fool
of the big department store and trans,
form II to the appearance of the bag
gage room of great railway terminal.
The entire lot OF trunks will be sold al
one-third of the regular price charged
for them.
