SOME TWENTY YEARS AFTER
J. P. Morgan Took Lively Interest in
Sound Money Demonstrations
Had His Boys Marching.

This preparedness parade reminds
me strongly of the sound money pa
rade which took place just about
20 years ago and in which Wall
street was just as keenly interested
as it is in today's parade said an
old-timer in the financial district, &C.
cOrding to New York Sun. Zone of
the features of the sound money pa
rade was the interest the father OF
the present j. P. Morgan took in it.
had occasion to go into the old Drexel
building late in the afternoon on sew
eral days previous to the parade and
1 found that Mr.. Morgan had his
boys marching up and down the floor
of the old building. He was just as
interested in the showing the men
from his Office were going to make as
any one of the clerks who were to
march under the banners of the firm.
On the day of the parade the line
formed at the lower end of Broad
street and as the j. p Morgan boys
came marching up the street and
looked up at the windows they found
him waving a big white silk handker-
chief at them while his keen eyes ran
over everyone of his men in the line.
From the interest which the big men
of the street are taking in todays pa
rade am convinced that the spirit of
patriotism and unity in the country
is just as strong today as it was 20
years ago."

"Then you stole this check from Dr.
Smiths Officer" was the next ques-
ton.
81 took that blank check from Dr.
Smiths office without his knowledge
or consent"
@. Who filled out this check and
signed DR.. Smiths name? A. That
check was filled out by one of my
employees I stood alongside of him
while he filled it out. He did it under
my instructions, and if he had refused
to do it I would have discharged him
and he knew it; and if the law has
been violated in any way am respon-
sible for it,
"You knew that it was a forgery,
and that forgery is crime under the
law" inquired the opposing counsel.
To which I replied that, inasmuch as
intent is the essence of crime, and as
there was no intent to obtain money
OF other valuables by means of the
check, 1 did not believe I had been
guilty of forgery. I pointed out, fur
thermore, that had been at the bank
on the morning when McCulloch pre-
scented the check, for the purpose of
preventing the teller from cashing it,,
in case he had failed to perceive that
the signature was not genuine.
Almost every person in the court
room had been of the opinion that l
had got myself into serious trouble
by obtaining the blank checks and
causing one to be filled out and signed
and presented. But after my explana-
ton it was evident that I had re-
manned we'll within the letter of the
law
The testimony was overwhelming
against Maxwell, and the jury quickly
returned a verdict Of murder in the
first degree It is satisfactory to add
that Maxwell, or Brookes, paid the
penalty of his crime by hanging.
The psychology of this case makes
it unusually interesting. why" I
have been asked many times, "did
you cause McCulloch to knock you
down and strip the policeman and

BIG MlX-UP AT CONVENTION
Alternate and Proxy-HoIder Insist on
Voting While Delegate Himself
Is Present.

A southern b1ack-county convention
was in progress, and the hall was
crowded. Among rows upon rows OF
the dusky sons of toll an occasional
white delegate stood out like a flake
of snow on a coal car.
The chairman was calling the roll.
One by one the delegates answered
yea or nay till the name of James
Levy was called. Up jumped burly
negro, as black as ink. Use his proxy,
and I votes yea" From across the
hall came another voice: ''Mr. Cheer
man, Mr.. Cheerman, Use his alternate,
an votes nay
Use de gem'man entitled to dis var
vote, and it's yea"
Don you listen to his talk, Mr..
Cheerman De alternate's got de say
so, an de vote is nay =
Back and forward, forward and back,
the alternate and proxy of James Levy
wrangled, while the chairman vainly
pounded for silence. A third man in
the hall stood up, and endeavored to
make himself heard above the tumultu-
Gus voting The chairman caught sight
of him, and leaping to his feet, he
shouted above the din:
'Mr. Proxy an Mr.. Alternate, If you
all dom stop dat rumpus Use gwine use
dis hyar gavel on you haids, an dat's
de truf, Use tellin' you. Now he con-
tinued as the rivals quieted down, I'VE
gwine hyar what the gem'man standin'
ND in de back of de halls got ter say
please, sub, Mr.. Cheerman,' the
person addressed questioned, Il wants
ter ak what fo' all dis noise bout.
Oars James Levy hisself sittin' down
wonder. Why don he do his own vot-
iu'?"

yourself, compelling you, furthermore,
to go around for several days with
your right eye and one side of your
face discolored?"
knew that Maxwell was enjoying
the notoriety which the newspapers
were giving him. I knew, also, that
the public was growing tired of read
ing about him, and, therefore, believed
that if l could paint my assistant as
a more desperate criminal for the time
being, by the notoriety which he, in
turn, would gain through the news
papers, it would have the effect OF
attracting Maxwell's attention to him,
so that he might bask in the light
which was shed upon McCulloch. l
considered it necessary to have Nc
Culloch slug me and the police of11cay
in order to allay any suspicion that
might have arisen in the mind of the
chief of police or any of his men. The
chief was an alert and experienced
officer, and if he had for a moment
suspected that McCulloch was not
what he represented himself to be, or
that he was connected with me, he
would undoubtedly have exposed the
scheme.
1 could have obtained the blank
check from DR.. Smith for the asking,
but DR.. Smith would, of course, have
wanted an explanation, and if I had
given it DR.. Smith would have been
obliged to state the facts on the wit
ness stand when called before the
grand jury, and this would have been
fatal to the plan. BY keeping my
plans and motives profoundly secret
I produced this result: that each per-
son told the truth, as he believed it
to be.
AS there was no city fund for the
payment of the expenses of outside de-
tectives, Mr.. Glover paid McCulloch
out of his own pocket, the total sum
expended amounting to about six hun
| dred dollars. I got, as my compensa-
ton, the aforementioned black eye,
swollen jaw, and number of bumps
and bruises.

Following Up a Fable,

"Of course, you remember the fable
OF the thrifty ant and the mendicant
grasshopper?"
Yes; the grasshopper, having sang
all summer, was invited to dance
And then what happened?"
well, if the grasshopper was any
good as a dancer, it ought to have
made enough money to make the ant
feel like small change"

Dallas, Ore, May 1.-THE Dallas
baseball team was defeated on the local
grounds Sunday afternoon by the Log
Cabin bakery team of Portland by a
score of to49 The game was lost by
the locals on account of lack of practice
as the team was hastily gotten togeth
er late last week and very little time
was to be had in getting the aggrega-
tion into shape. The team; however,
bids fair to become a strong one this
summer and with the support of the
fans in Dallas some good baseball
should be witnessed here this season.
Fenton pitched the entire nine innings
for the home team and the first three
innings the Portland team was unable to
find the ball, after the third, however,
few managed to send the ball TO parts
of the field where there were no fielders
and several scores were made
