and Of course on ships Of other nations
regularly entering this and other Amer
lean ports, are certain seamen and, II
may well be. certain officers, who make
a practice of taking money for hiding
stowaways. feeding them and helping
them escape ashore and violate immi-
grafton laws.
Arranged by Land Agents.
There seems to be a fixed rate of
$50 to $40 per stowaway. The word
gets about In European ports. especially
iE such places as Palermo. Genoa and
Naples, big immigrant departure ports
that certain men on certain ships can
be fixed Prospective stowaways, IN
many cases men with criminal records,
bad men, thieves or murderers or men
who won't pay the high fare, make an
arrangement through land agents with
the grating seamen or ships officers
At the appointed time they sneak aboard
ship by ones or twos and are hidden
deep down in holds. among cargo. They
are fed by the grafters. who often charge
extra for food, and are then aided to
get ashore in America. Sometimes they
try to do so by swimming at night.
"Only a few weeks ago the United
States Army transport Logan, which had
been temporarily allocated to a steam
ship concern for passenger service from
Naples to New York. came in with forty

two stowaways leaped overheard. One
was drowned, but the other was pulled
from the sea and brought here to Ellis
Island. We extracted his secret. He said
that forty-eight stowaways had been on
he Presidente originally, sneaking
aboard at Trieste. At Palermo eighteen
OF them were discovered and booted
ashore. At Naples sixteen more were
evicted. The others were so deeply and
securely hidden that they made the trip
across the Atlantic. Our salvaged stowa-
way told us that we would find twelve
men hidden in the holds of the Presi-

asked for a search. officers and seamen
refused, saying they We're afraid to

Comparatively few stowaways get into
the country. Commissioner Wallis said.
Now and then one or more manages to
slip through the net and to lose him

but ordinarily they are caught The
odds against n stowaway beating the

his counsel following the finding of the
body of Drewes in secluded spot on
the outskirts OF the city on the morning
of October II.
Several sharp tilts between Mr.. Cor
don and the defendants attorney. Will
lam A. Gray, took place while the
prosecuting attorney opened the Com
monwealth's case. Thrice Mr.. Gray
hotly interrupted the Assistant District
Attorneys address, charging Mr.. Gordon
was making an attempt to prejudice the
jury with hearsay evidence. The third
time Judge Ferguson took the attorneys
into his private room. The men re-
appeared in the court room smiling. but
from Mr.. Gordon's continued address 1t
was evident Mr.. Gray had scored a
point.
In the course OF the testimony of one
Of the witnesses, the famplighter who
found the body of Drewes, there were
several tussles. Mr.. Gray endeavoring
to show that the mans testimony had
been patched in the District Attorneys
Office since he was heard before the
Coroner's jury on November 26.
Mr.. Gordon appeared confident Of
convicting Brines of first degree mur-
pared to fight every inch OF the way to
save his client from the death penalty.
Many lawyers were in court. chiefly to
witness the contest between the two
brilliant attorneys-Gordon and Gray
1t took exactly two hours and half
to select the jury from the forty-two
talesmen examined. Judge Ferguson
ruled that none of the Jurors should be
women after he excused Lizzie Lopez of
West Philadelphia the fifth of the panel
to be drawn. The Judge said he would
not permit her or any other woman to
be selected because there were no accom-
modations for keeping women over night
and the law provided that the Jury
should be kept together. Miss Dopez
smiled as she resumed her seat.
One Of the high spots in Mr. Gordon's
address came near the close of his half
hour address to the Jury, when he said ::
I'VE will show that the bullet found
in the head of the dead man in all
probability had been fired from the very
gun because of certain characteristics
IN the gun barrel. We will show that
this man owned the gun and that it was
found in the car"

Syectds Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
PHnApELPHIA, Jan. 24.-For the first
time the Commonwealth to-day dis
closed what it contends to be the
motive for the murder of Elmer c.
Drewes. The Commonwealth holds
that that killing of the Dartmouth
College senior was the outcome of 4
ranking grudge of months, resulting
from differences over money.
That revelation was the outstanding
feature of the opening day of the trial
OF William p. Brines. University of
Pennsylvania sophomore, accused of
the murder of his friend Drewes. The
trial Is before Judge William c. Fer
guson in the Court of Oyer and Term
liner.
James Gay Gordon. Jr.. Assistant
District Attorney. presenting an out
Line Of the case to the jury, said:
1.-THE Commonwealth will show that
the dead boy and this defendant were
friends and that they had business
relations together last summer and
that there was animoSity and quarrel
ling between them in respect to GER
tain moneys.
1.-THE Commonwealth further will show
that the defendant. before the killing Of
Drewes occurred. had told persons of his
animosity toward the youth and of his
intention to do him bodily harm, and
that at that time he communicated with
Drewes In Dartmouth in order to per-
suade him to como here"
When Brines was led into the room
his mother, Mrs. Annie Brines. kissed
her son before nearly 400 spectators.
Holding him in her embrace. she whis-
pered words OF comfort to him and
patted his head.
Billy. my boy, be brave. be brave"
she was heard to say.

Rustic Cattle for Booze

The high cost of booze has turned
many cowboys into cattle rustlers to
get the money for liquor, according
to George T. Donaldson, of Green's
burg, Kan, and former president of
the Kansas State Live Stock Assoeia-
ton. Donaldson lost forty-three
head of cattle recently and in his
search for them he discovered that
rustling has become more prevalent
than it was formerly. Donaldson
traced the hides of his cattle to De-
troit and their bodies to Chicago,
where the rustler who disposed of
them had drawn only $3.50 of the
money coming for them.
''The cattle industry cannot stand
the present conditions plus bootleg
booze at SIS a quart, $1,000-a-night
crap and poker games and the high
price Of hotels without something
happening" is Donaldson's way of
explaining why rustling is prevalent.
