himself forced TO direct a jury 10 wait in

found for It's deliberations. Justice Kap-
per was. concerned about the crowded
condition Of the courthouse and said TO
the reporters:
you can say for me that | consider
the situation that confronts us I'm this
courthouse a public scandal. Here We
have seven trial parts Of the Supreme

rooms. and some Of these jury rooms are
not tit to house cattle in, let alone twelve
men doing a serious public duty To-
day one OF the jury rooms is so flooded
that II is like a swimming pool, and the
four other available rooms are occupied.
The fact that jury must wait in the

SILVER SPOONS GO UP
Advance in Cost of Bullion Causes
Increase Of 10 Per Cent.

Because of the increase in the price or
silver bullion, manufacturers of sterling
silver natwarc have advanced the price OF
teaspoons, dessert spoons, tablespoons,
dessert forks and table forks approx
mately 10 per cent Some concerns have
also included soup spoons In the list OF
articles Of fatware which have been ad-
vanced.
AS yet there has been no increase in the
price OF hollow ware. but II is predicted
I'm Maiden Lane that II silver bullion con-
tnues to 20 upward In price in the next
six months as fast as 1t has in the last
half year, an advance in the price OF hol-
low ware will also result
The reasons given for the upward move
ment Of silver bullion are the favorable
economic conditions In India and tho fact
that the Indian government has come into
the market as n buyer OF silver bullion

them had moved out OF the district long
before the primary election.
All this, Mr.. Koenig thought, consti-

Mr.. Reynolds and Mr.. Medalie agreed
with him. After hearing the facts, as pre-

inquiry will be finished by Tuesday, and
that by that day enough will have been
learned about the election to decide
whether a crime has been committed.
Mr.. Friedel denied the charges made by
Mr. Mills and said that his appointment
as deputy market superintendent had
nothing whatever to do with the primary

Joseph J. McKenna who is on trial be-
fore Judge Rosalsky in General Sessions
for the murder OF little Slgrid Eckstrom,
testified YESTERDAY that third degree"
methods, I'm which starving and beating
were prominent factors, had been used
to make him talk OF the crime.
Two conflicting statements by McI<enna
were introduced b. Charles c. Mott. jr.,
the Assistant District Attorney.
one was made to Captain Price. OF The
Bronx detectives and the other to Theron
r. Strong, an Assistant District Attor-
'ney. In the first McKonna denied any
knowledge OF how Sigrid Eckstrom met
her death. and In the second he said that
slgrid had fallen from his arms and be-
come unconscious from the fall, adding
that ne became frightened and hid her
body.
Captain Price told me to say that |
had let the child fall accidentally" said
McKenna. "He said that no harm could
come 10 me from II. and that II would
stop the criticism OF the police. who

Counsel for Ettor and Other
I. w. w. Leaders Swings
Weapon in Court.

Salem, Mass. oct. 23.-Police In
spector John ]. Kelliher OF Lawrence
told the jury to-day in the trial OF Ettor'
Gioyannitti and Caruso for the murder
Of Anna Lopizzo. that on the night OF
January % last he became convinced
that the time had come for the police to
draw their revolvers. This Day tho
most turbulent of the textile STRIKE
came TO a climax with the Lopizzo tra8-
edy. In spite of his conviction the IN
spector said he did not draw his revol-
yer, and that he did not know OF any
policeman firing a shot during the out
break, which resulted in the fatality ana
the wounding of Benoit, policeman.
Kelllher testified that the police had
struggled vainly at Garden and Union
streets on the fatal evening to clear the
streets of belligerent strikers, and that
they had been Jeered and pelted with Ice
and other missiles. He described how
they had resorted to the use OF CLUBS
and black Jacks to drive back angry men.
He related the efforts of the police 10
force the people down Union street until
fusillade of shots was heard. After
the smoke had cleared away he said,
woman had been found dying.
The witness drew from his pocket
blackjack which he said he had brought
down on the backs Of excited mill work
ers. James II. Sisk, Of counsel for the
defendants. took the blackjack from
Kelllher and swung 1t in the presence OF
the Jurors. illustrating how the weapon
was used on the strikers.
Did you use IT this way?' asked Sisk'
fastening the blackjack loop on his wrist
and striking out with the lead-hlled
leather.
Yes" said the inspector, Il struck
the men who would not move about the
back and shoulders"
You never drew your revolver
No. I did not" replied Kelliher
Didn't you think that the time had
come for YOU to do so, II the men were
resisting you as you describe?
81 did think right then at the corner
Of Garden and Union streets that night
said KeIliher, that the time in the riot
ing had arrived for me 70 draw gun
but | didn't"

take another chance Nth my hands.

scription OF the firing OF from ten 10

Mr.. Millss testimony was followed by
letter from the Controller to the DIS
trict Attorney, In which he asked II any
such charges had been made at his once
| Mr.. Prendergast wrote that he was anN-
| ious to know, as Friedel was employed
under him, and If charges were made
against him they should either be pressed
or thrown out according to the evidence
supporting them. Mr.. Whitman replied
that no charges had been made to him at
that time. The Controller sent yesterday
the following letter to the District At
torney:
Dear Sir: With this desire to hand you
a certified copy Of the testimony gwen
by Mr.. Ogden Mills, OF this city, concern
ing frauds alleged by him TO nave peeh
committed in the Sth Assembly DIStrlct;;
Mr.. Mills's testimony refers TO aIleseu
frauds in the 4th Election District OF the
9Th Assembly District Since this tesu-
mOny was given, l have been informed
that similar suspicious circumstances, 10
which he called attention as Delns con-
nected with the returns in the attn hIeC-
ton District, also appear In the reports
made In the primary election OF the ISL
I'd and 81 Election districts OF the eth
Assembly District ! now submit the en-
tire matter to you, knowing that IL VIII
receive al your n1iOS plOlllpA anu Sabi'-
factory investigation. II any frauds have
been committed they certainly should he
exposed and the guilty people punished.
Mr. Mills, without Offering particle OF
testimony, intimated to the committee
that Mr.. Louis Freidsl, an cnplOye OF
this department, was responsible for these
deTelictions. / hope you will thoroughly
investigate Mr. Freidels connection with
the matter. There is not the slightest
desire or intention upon my part TO pro-
tect Mr. F'reidel or anybody else.
| would also call your attention 10 the
fact that Mr.. Mills claimed that these
frauds were committed in the interest or
the candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt for
the Republican nomination for the Presi-
dency Mr.. Mills claims that he received
his Information from Mr.. Samuel 5.
Koenig, the chairman Of the Republican
County Committee. Mr. Mills led the
committee to believe that this matter had
been presented to you, which, Of course,
is not the case. The situation, therefore,
is that apparently Mr.. Koenig had known
of these alleged occurrences for some
time, but never took any action whatever
TO see that the guilty people were pun
iShed. 1t has remained for the writer OF
this letter as a friend Of Colonel ROose-
welt. 10 bring the matter TO your official
attention. Colonel Rooscvelts friends are
not protecting wrongdoers. Very truly
