ON TRIAL FOR GRAFT
"CZAR OF HARLEM" PICKED UP
$25o.ooo A YEAR.
New York Prosecutor Hopes to Break
Up System" by Conviction of
Its Chief.

New York, April 25.-Capt. Dennis
Sweeney, former police inspector in
this city, who was indicted on thir.
teen counts for bribery, was on Friday
placed Oh trial before Justice Seabury
in the state supreme court.
The court room was crowded with
the curious when Sweeney, accompan-
led by his counsel entered.
1t is not thought that much diff
Guilty will be encountered in obtaining
a jury. A large panel of talesmen
was on hand. All of these had been
carefully investigated by representa-
tives OF the district attorney, so that
1t might be made certain that NO
man with possible police connections
should be on the jury.
Sensational testimony showing the
workings of the system" is expected
to be offered by the state. Upon the
fate of Sweeney hangs the fate of the
system" Sweeney was the Gear
of Harlem and is alleged to have
had an income of fully $250,000 a
year, blackmailing from proprietors
of disorderly hotels, saloons and gam
bling houses. The trail which led
Whitman to Sweeney was a crooked
one, and Whitman found many little
by-paths of graft leading from it,
with the result that several minor
police officials were indicted with
Sweeney. But Sweeney is the big
fish, and upon him Whitman is con
centrating his forces.

RECOVER 45 BODIES
RESCUERS IN MINE HAVE Diff
GUILTY IN REACHING VICTIMS.
Dead Will Number at Least 11o and
Hope That Any Of Entombed Min
ers Are Alive Is Given Up.

Pittsburgh, pa, April 26.-FoTty-
five bodies of miners have been taken
from the Cincinnati mine OF the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke company, a subsidiary Oh
the Pittsburgh Coal company, at Fin
leyville, the scene Monday of disas-
trous explosion. Many other bodies,
It is said. have been located but the
greatest difficulty is being experienced
in finding means to convey the bodies
through wreckage to the surface.
Seventy miners are still unaccount-
ed for. These, with the forty'hVe
dead recovered, bring the probable
list of fatalities to 115.
The pumps have become disabled
and most of the mine iS under a foot
of water. Unless the pumps are re-
paired soon the mine may be in such
condition that it will be impossible to
get into it for days. 1t is believed
that the fire has been rnt out. NO
more tapping by entombed men is
heard.
The mining district about Courtney
Is stunned. The wild grief of the
women and children who lost heads of
families and brothers in the disaster
has subsided and funerals are being
arranged, both for those who have
been brought out and identified and
those who are still in the mine and
are known to be dead.
1t was ascertained that there were
two explosions and that "a men who
escaped the first were caught by the
second. The first was caused by an
accumulation of gases and the second
by coal dust. The "a were caught as
they were running toward the Court
ney entrance. All except the 40 who
escaped tried for that entrance; the
fortunate ones got out through the
FinIeyvillc and Mingo entries.

of Scutari or we shall do it alone
The note was virtually an ultimatum
Austria-Hungayy declares she can
not permit the Montenegrins to fiout
the decision of the great powers. The
prestige of the European nations has
been violated, says the note, and Aus

taken to restore that prestige, adding
that If the powers should be, unable to
reach a speedy decision she will see

The king made this statement in the
course Of a speech delivered from the
balcony Of the royal palace at Cettinje
Among his auditors were the ministers
of the Balkan states, who came to
congratulate him. He added:
Should Europe still think OF
snatching Scutari from Montenegro
which has given his life blood to take
1t, Europe will have to carry out the
task by force Of arms"
Another report from the troubled
scene is to the effect that the Roman
Catholic archbishop of Scutari, j.
Screggi. has been assassinated in the
captured city. Word of this has
reached Rome.
1t now develops that the occupation
of Scutari by the Montenegrins was a
spectacular trick engineered by King
Nicholas to deceive and thwart the
powers. 1t was stroke Of cunning

sits on a branch close by, pouring out
his love in sweet, delicious notes. It's
a case of everybody works but ia
ther," says Prof William Brinckley,
discussing "Our More Common War
blers," in a recent lecture. There is
no more varied group than that of the
warblers. They are divided into two
large groups, old world and new world
warblers. The old worlders are small
er and more modest in plumage. Any
one who can tell a warbler on the
wing is a marvel The differences OF
species are very difficulty TO notice
when the bird is flying, The only
way to know warbler is to know
him from the earliest through the va
rious stages of his plumage, which
change as fast as the Paris fashions.
OF the wood warbler there are 160 va
rieties alone. Their territory covers
TIE district between Argentina and
Labrador. In North America there are
55 varieties. Here they reach their
greatest numerical strength. They
fly at night and often take 500 mile
trip between sundown to sunrise. They
are rapid on the wing, and often get
ahead Of the weather. They are cas-
lily harmed by storm, their plumage is
quickly saturated with water and they
drown"
