HE FURNISHED THE MONEY TVMcli Was Used by His Con federates to Corrupt the Veniremen. BAILIFF HANKS OTOS HP. A Full Confession of the Part He Took, and for Which He Was to he Liberally Paid. CONVERSATIONS WITH COUGHLIN, In Which the Clan-Na-Gael leader's Close Interest in the Case Was Yerj Freely Discussed. ANOTHER BIG SENSATION PROMISED One of the bailiffs implicated in the Cronin jury-fixing conspiracy has made a full confession to the grand jury. He di rectly states that the money to be -used in the work of bribery came from Alexander Sullivan. Further than that, he says that this fact was ciearly understood by the prisoners themselves. He had frequent conversations with Coughlin in which Sulli van's connection with the case was freely mentioned. gFECLlI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Chicago, October 15. Bailiff Hanks confession before the grand jury to-day is the most sensational feature of the bribery cases. His statement is a concise and ac curate history of the whole conspiracy. He met Graham last August 9 in a saloon on Clark street, where they had several rounds of drinks. Before they parted Graham said he would like to meet Hanks again the following evening. Hanks kept the appointmentand the intimacy so auspiciously begun was ce - mented with additional drinks. As Hanks was one of the bailiffs who were watching Dr. Cronin's supposed murderers in the court room,be and Graham naturally talked about the case. A Precious Pair of Scoundrels. Graham commented severely on the methods employed by the officers of the State, and said that no court ought to give countenance to such a prosecution. Hanks agreed with him. It was not long before Graham cautiously sounded the bailiff on the question of money. He found Hanks eager to run desperate chances for a dollar. Ihen he boldly asked Hanks why a juror or two who would be willing to vote for an acquittal, could not be secured by the de fense. "In a big town like Chicago," said he, "there ought to be a few such men lying around loose." Hanks finally entered into a verbal agreement with Graham to procure two or more men. Itoner Was No Object. "If von get them," Graham is reported to have said, "we will pay you 52,000 each. Get all you can, money is noobject ." "Where does my bit come in?" asked Hanks. "Why.you ought to be able to split 52,000 in such a way that you won't get left your self. Give your man half of it, or as much as you please, and keep the rest yourself." "But I wan't to know who is going to put up the stuff. It won't come from your poeket" "Ho, indeed," replied Graham. "I wouldn't pav a dollar of my own money to save any of them. The money will be paid by Alexander Sullivan." 'Has he got it?" Hanks asked. "Oh, yes," replied the briber, "he's rich." He Was Easily Satisfied. This satisfied Hanks that his course was clear and his pay certain, end from that time until he was arrested he was a mere creature of Graham's. He not only sug gested the names of men who he believed would be eligible for rating on Graham's list, but he agreed to approach anybody whom Graham might suggest. One of the men Hanks chose was Kohn, the fruiterer, who agreed to vote for acquit tal for 51,000 providing he was selected as a juror. Hanks in his confession also admit ted that he confided the secret of the con spiracy to Soloman and that he handed the latter the list of names which subsequently enabled the Staie to bring all the chief con spirators, with the single exception of Gra ham, into the State's confessional. It also appeared from Hanks' confession that be was not only acting the dual role of officer and briber, but that he was Keeping; Up the Spirits of Beggs, Coughlin and O'Sullivan by de livering to them verbal messages of cheer from their friends on the outside. Graham paid him handsomely for this service. In reply to aquestion from Judge Longenecker, Hanks said he frequently told Coughlin, who was his especial charge, that Alex Sullivan was looking after his interests, and that no harm would come to him or his companions if they only preserved a bold and defiant front At the conclusion of Hank's examination, which occupied nearly an hour, Judge Xoneenecker made ft personal appeal to the grand jury to preserve inviolate the secrets they had heard. -'By doing this," he said, "you will enable the oresecBtion to carry out a great work, and I prosafae you, gentlemen, that J ,1 on to-morrow and the next day we will sub mit to your attention an array of Pneu That Will Startle not only Chicago, but the entire world. I will not tell you now what we intend to show, but it has a vital bearing on this great conspiracy, and it will shed light on the darkness that now enshrouds it." This was construed to be an admission that the State is already within reach of the men who conceived the plot. There was a great crush of people at the trial to-day. Hundreds of persons were un able to gain admission. Among those who were admitted was Kunze's sweatheart, who was dressed in a neat fitting dress and a black bonnet trimmed with ostrich tips. She tried hard to speak to her lover, but the bailiffs refused to let her pass insidethe rail ing. The examination of veniremen con tinued all day without incident Beggs lost one peremptory challenge. He still has ten left An Incident of the Trial. It has been arranged that one of the first incidents after the fall jury has been se cured will be the exhibition in court of the bleached and articulated bones of the right hand of the body found in the catch basin. They will be used for the identification of the body as that of Dr. Cronin. Dentist Lewis, who made the plates and false teeth worn by Cronin, will testify that they were those in the jaw of the corpse, and the insurance societies' records will be in troduced to prove that the broken joint of one of Cronin's fingers corresponds to that of the skeleton and hand stretched out be fore the jury and the accused. GOFF AS'GOYEBNOB. His Friends Arc Still Hopefnl of the Result in West Virginia Two Reports Cer tain to be Made by the Investigating- Commission. Wheeling, October 15. The Legisla tive Contest Committee arrived here to-day to prepare their report upon the Fleming Goff contest for Governor. On account of the non-arrival of two of the members the body did not meet to-day. The session will last several days and some lively thiDgs ate expected. The decision of a majority of the committee will nndonhtedly be in favor of seating Fleming. Senator Morris, a Republican member, when asked to-night it there would be a minority report in favor of Mr. Goff, said: "Most assuredly. "What are we here for? We are confident Goff was honestly elected, and the alleged Republican frauds were not proven." Speaker Woods, of the House, is still very ill, and, should he be unable to attend the special session of the Legislature, that body will be a tie ana no conclusion can be ar rived at Should he resign there will be a warm fight for the election of his successor. He is from Ohio county, which is very close, and the Republicans declare their ability to elect a successor. If they should succeed Goff would be seated Governor, as the one majority of the Legislature would be re versed and the minority report on the Con test Committee adopted. Ohio county often goes Republican, particularly in off years, and has given Goff a majority every time he has been a candidate for office, except once. With the question of making him Governor as the only issue the Republicans would, they say, feel confident ot winning. TIMER QUOTES PRECEDENT. He Also Relates the History of Senator Olanderson's Keratins. ISrECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Washington, October IB. Corporal Tanner said to-day, with regard to the re rating of Senator Manderson: "The facts in the case are simply these: One evening a friend and I were seated in my apartment discussing pension matters, and among other things we spoke of the number of caseswhich had come under our personal observation where injustice had been done the pensioner. My friend asked me if I knew Senator Man derson, and stated that he wasonly receiving about one-half the pension he was really en titled to. I got to thinking about the mat ter, and before we parted I asked him to call at my office the next dav and remind me of our conversation. He did, and I sent for the papers in Senator Manderson's case, and, after a careful examination of them, found that he was entitled to a pension for total disability, whereas he was receiving a pension for half disability only, and I ac cordingly had him rerated. Senator Man derson, in his letter to Secretary Noble, re- and I think the least Secretary Noble could have done would have been to grant his re quest" The Corporal recalled to mind the case of General William H. Powell, who was re rated just four days prior to Tanner's ap pointment General Powell had received a gunshot wound in bis shoulder, and was re ceiving a pension of $7 50 per month when Mr. Noble was made secretary. General Powell went to Commissioner Black with a note from Secretary Noble, in which the latter asked the Commissioner to do all he could for the General. General Powell dc clinedlo submit to a medical examination, but notwithstanding this fact had his pen sion increased to $30 per month, and dated back to 1865. And this was done at the instigation of Secretary Noble four days before I received my appointment" THE KEW TOKK SANDBAGGERS. Death of Both Their Recent Victims Similarity of Their Injnrleg. rBFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! New York, October 15. Both of the men who were sandbagged on Seventh ave nue recently are dead. Custom House In spector Edward H. Woodbridge died on Sunday night at Roosevelt Hospital. Thomas Carey, the bartender of Portland, Conn., died at the same place at 1 a. M. to day. The police knew nothing of either case. Circumstances strongly indicate that both men met their death in the same manner. Woodbridge received his injuries a week ago last Snnday night; Carey re ceived his the following Tuesday night. Woodbridge was found on Seventh avenue, between Thirty-second and Thirty-third streets, and Carey was found at the corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-third street Both were, in the opinion ot the different doctors, sandbagged. Both had money, but were found robbed of everything. Both had their skulls fractured in the same place, namely, at the base. Both had been drink ing, though neither were drunk. Both were stupefied ; and neither could tell how or when he had been struck. FIGHTING WHISKY.

A company has been organized for the manufacture of whisky and high wines, and plans for the distillery have been adopted. Herman Horstkotte, a prominent business man, is at the bead of the new com pany. "There is a market in St Louis for whisky," said Mr. Horstkotte, "and there is but one distillery running here.

The Deadly Electric Lines la New York Dlo Very Hard Arguments In Court Darkness Is Re- llevedby Gas. rsPECIAI, TELEGRAM TO TBS SI5PATCH.1 NewYobk, October 15. It was after noon before the hearing on the injunctions obtained by the Brush and United States Companies to prevent the Board of Elec trical Control from cutting their wires or shutting of their currents, began before Judge Andrews in Supreme Court cham bers. Lawyers Choate and Bowers told the Judge that the cases of the United States Company and the Brush Com pany were the same. So Mr. Hagues, for the United States Company, said: The complaint or the United States Com pany, on which the temporary injunction was granted, read that the company had over $l,250.000iuvested. lighted much of the city, and supplied 1,000 arc lights and 13,000 incandescent lights to private customers. Whenever it had an opportunity to put wires in the subways it had done so, but hardly any subways had been constructed, and the Board of Electrical Control had constantly refused the company permission to build subways for itself. Mr. Bowers read the Mayor's answer, say ing the Brush and United States companies were, it was believed, owned by the same people. The Board of Electrical Control had declared the imperfectly insulated wires of the United States Company to be public obstructions, and it was the "duty of the Commissioners of Public Works to re move the wires so designated. Mr. Choate spoke until 6 o'clock. Mr. Cravath said that the currents of the Brush and United States Companies would be turned off at night, except such as the Board of Electrical Control's exDert certi fied were safe. Upon this understanding the case was continued until 11 o'clock in the morning. The city, therefore, did without most of the electric lights again to-night. The early night was moonless, but clear and bright At nightfall, Sbwever, gas was burning in many of the principal streets, and New York was pretty nearly as well off as before the days of electric light. One who had never seen Third avenue and the Bowery in the electric glare would have said that they were well-lighted streets. Yet the Bowery did not have a single cor poration light burning. The police upon the Eastside were or dered to be more than usually vigilant, but in all the station houses it was reported that the night was very quiet and orderly. There were crowds of people on the streets in the early hours. About 11 p. si., when the shop lights went out, the great old monopolist who runs the light plant up in the moon turned on his reflector and provided light by the half bushel. I0ST BY DEFAULT. Ex-Prealdcnt Riddle, of the Penn Sank, Obtains a Judgment Against Upton In Boyce, the Railroad Man, for 8320,000, Through De fendant's Neglect. rSTECIAX. TELEGHAM TO THE DI8PATCH.1 New York, October 15. William M. Riddle, formerly President of the Penn Bank, of Pittsburg, who now lives in this city, has obtained a judgment, by default from Judge Andrews in the Supreme Court Chambers, against Upton L. Boyce,the well known Southern railroad man, for 5320,000. In Mr. Riddle's complaint, on which the judgment was obtained, it is set forth that on or about December 15, 1887, Riddle pro cured" a loan for BoTce of 525.000 and also found a purchaser ior 51,200,000 of the com mon stock of the Covington and Macon Rail road Company at -par value. Boyce is sup posed to have been interested in the railroad whose stock he wished to sell, and Riddle declares that for floating the stock and pro curing the loan, Boyce was to pay him $70, 000 in money, besides giving him 5250,000 worth of the stock at par value. Riddle declares that he has not yet been paid for his services, although he has frequently de manded the money and stocks. The complaint was first served on the de fendant's attorney, John Sergeant Cram, on June 3 last. A delay was granted on ac couotot the absence of Mr. Boyce in the South. Finally, after several delays, the attorney for the plaintiff, Robert Mazat, of No. 237 Broadway, refused to grant any more, and then Mr. Cram applied to the courts for a further postponement. This re- Suest the court refused to grant, and since lat time the defendant's lawyer has paid no attention to the case. When the case was reached on the Supreme Court calendar no one appeared for the defendant and conse quently Judge Andrews granted a judg ment by default Mr. Boyce is still in the South looking after his railroad matters there. As the judgment is for so large an amount he will undoubtedly attempt to have it reopened when he returns. UNCORKING THEIR WRATH. The Trl-State Bottlers Association Declare War Against Junk Dealers. ISrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Philadelphia, October 15. Represen tatives of the Bottlers' Associations of Penn sylvania, New York and New Jersey met to-day in parlor C of the Hotel Lafayette, and decided to form a permanent organiza tion for mutnal protection, its main object being the adoption of an inter-State arrange ment for the exchange of bottles and siphons. Thirty-two delegates were present, and these officers were elected: H. S. Harris, of New York, President; William J. Cunningham and George Herman, "Vice Presidents, and L. Munsinger and G. W. Otto, Secretaries. The three States represented have a regis tration law which affords ample protection against the local traffic of junk dealers in registered bottles, but there is no method of prosecuting their sale in other States, and the new association proposes to extend its operations until it can make its local pro tection law national. Another meeting will be held to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, at which a constitution and bylaws'will be adopted.

Chief Ar thur and staff arrived here late last night, and this morning a special train of Pullman coaches arrived over the Union Pacific, bringing 300 delegates to the convention, which will convene to-morrow. The meet ing will be of unusual importance, and sev eral questions of great interest are to be de cided, among them the election of a suc cessor to Chief Arthur. The principal opposition to Arthur, it is claimed, comes from the Union Pacific lines and the Southwest, while the Central and Northern Pacific are entirely solid for Ar thur. The element opposed to Arthur, it is claimed by his friends, are the radical ones, and do not represent more than one-third of the delegation, so that the friends of the Chief are confident of his re-election. About 400 delegates will be present representing 430 divisions and a membership of 26,500. CARRIED OFF BY A BEAR. A Three-Year-Old Child Believed to be a Victim of Bmio.

It was Bhortly after the noon hour when the 700 delegates took their seats. Small white banners with the names of the different clubs and counties in bright red letters served as a guide to the seats, and there was little confusion. The front of the gallery was decorated with the national colors, while the stage boxes were brilliant with shields, flags and banners. The banner of the Samuel J. Randall Association occupied a prominent place on the right of the stage. The Jefferson Club's banner was on the stage in the background against the wall adjoin ing the center piece decoration, the coat of arms of the city of Philadelphia. On the left of the stage, over the proscenium box, hung the handsome black banner ot the Crescent- Club, of West Philadelphia, its gilded crescent serving to draw attention to its beauty.

Every county was represented, and with these numerous delegations, twice as large as the Democratic State Conven tions have had. the business was transacted expeditiously and without leaving any trace of bad blood behind. Among the most noticeable of the party leaders of the State who were in attendance were Congressman D. B. Srunner and State Senator Green, of Berks county; Repre sentative Samuel M.

President Black opened the proceedings and, after a glowing tribute to ex-President Cleveland and indorsement of his course, he said: We are as nearly as may bo what onr fore fathers were when, to rescue the Constitution and the Republic from Hamiltoman Federal ism, they united in a mighty fraternal union of Democratic societies, elected Thomas Jeffer son and seated him and gavo us 60 lustrous and blessed years of Democratic administration. We believe as they did, we feel as they did, and we can do as they did. All true Republicans, all true Democrats must be with us for a purj Government, for lighter taxes and for the re moval of every needless restraint upon the freedom of the people. Squared by the Jeffer sonian standard, tried by the Jeffersonian touchstone, onr principles and our purposes are those of our forefathers, the founders of the Republic and of the Democratic party. We know no differences, no dissensions in the Democratic societies; indeed, in the Demo cratic party, properly speaking, there can be none. OUriundamental doctrines are the same yesterday, to-day and forever. THE TARIFF QUESTION. As to tariff taxes, for instance, discriminating against many industries to artificially stimulate a few, pillaging the mass to enrich a class, no Democrat ever, as an original proposition, be lieved their imposition consistent with a Re publican system. "It is," cried Thomas Jefferson, the first Democratic President, "a question whether we are to llvo under a limited or an unlimited Government," and after the lapse of a century come ringing down to us the answering words of G rover Cleveland, the last Democratic Pres ident: "Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa tion." Congress has power to tax only for tbe support of government, economically adminis tered, within plain, specified, constitutional limits, and a seiiure of the property of the people, by the exercise of the power of taxa tion, for any but a public and general purpose, is an unconstitutional and monstrons abuse. Ours is no fight for party; it Is a holy crusade for humanity and for liberty, and. we expoct, as wo have a right to expect, the help of every good man who has a heart to feel for his kind, or an ambition to leave to his children the In heritance of free institutions, with equal oppor tunities to all, which he received from his fathers. clevelahd's letteb. Letters were read from Samuel J. Ran dall, regretting his inability to be present, and from ex-President Cleveland, in which he said: In my opinion this is no time for the search after makeshifts and temporary expedients. We as a party are fairly enlisted in the cause ot the neople and patriotism; duty and party success require that we should be consistent and steadfast. All personal feeling and selfishness should be subordinated. I confidently expect that In the work we have In hand our Demo cratic societies will exhibit an efficiency which will be gratefully acknowledged by all who have at heart the welfare and prosperity of tbe American people. Yours, very sincerely, Qboveb Cleveland. H. H. W. Howard, of Harrisburg, col ored, was elected one of the five Vice Presi dents for the ensuing year, and in a speech before tbe convention declared his intention to support the party. A recommendation to change the system of representation in State and county conventions in order to have the nominations made direct from the people was adopted. The assembly adjourned after re-electing Chauncey F. Black as President, and choos ing the city of Reading as the place of hold ing the nexconvention. The Indianapolis Breweries Bold.

Senator Sherman Declares la Its Favor la an Address to tbe International Delegates Speeches by Payne and Foraker. Cleveland, October 15. The delegates to the International Congress were enter tained at a banquet here to-night Mayor Gardner made the welcoming address. He said that as he knew that the excursionists had been feasted when they desired to rest, he wonld abbreviate his remarks. He spoke briefly, welcoming and speeding the guests happily, saying thatthe United States de sired to go hand in hand with her Southern neighbors toward materialJprogress.At 11:45 Senator Paynn arose and said that the objects of the Congress had been set forth already; the object of the excursion was to enable the visitors to study the United States Government and its people. There should be no concealment on our part. The visitors were statesmen, and came to ascer tain if it was for the interest of their people to become more intimate with ours. William E. Curtis, who is in charge of the excursion, then delivered a lengthy ad dress, to which ex-President Caamano, of Ecuador, responded. Senator Sherman was called upon to respond to the toast, "The Congress ot American States." In the course of bis remarks be said that he was almost inclined to be a convert to free trade if that ' free trade was confined to American States. Loud applause. He wished to see not only a commercial union but a union of hearts. He also said: "We want a rail road from the United States to Patagonia. An eminent engineer bad stated that the work was feasible; that it would cost less money and time and present less difficulty than works we had already executed within twenty years past" Governor Foraker was called upon to state the resources of Ohio. This be said, was the newest State the delegates had visited only 100 years old. They would see its present resources for themselves. Ohio had the best people in the world, and he said it without fear of contradiction. THE PEACEFUL GRANGER Becomes Tmbued la tbe South With Blood Thirsty Business methods Four Killed' in a Faction Fight Between Farm era and Prodace Dealers. rSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBE DISPATCH.! Dothen, Ala., October 15. The com mencement of open hostilities between the Farmer's Alliance and the local dealers to day will cost four lives, if not more. The Alliance men had started a warehouse in this town and teamed their own prodnce in for sale. The appearance of the Alliance men in the business world, antagonized the merchants of Dothen, and they called upon the town officers to subject the Alliance business house to all the taxes and bnrdens borne by other business houses, and espec ially to a dray tax. Thus challenged, the Alliance men looked upon the potion of the the town men as hos tile, and bad feeling was aroused. Mr. George M. Stringer, the manager of the warehouse, resolved to resist the collection of license, and to show nis spirit drove a dray himself. When Marshal Domingo at tempted to arrest him he resisted by draw ing a knife. The fight was short, but effec tive, and Mr. Stringer was pnt nnder bond to appear to-day. He appeared, but he was surrounded by about 250 men from the country, who, armed with pistols and knives, were a silent but determined looking body guard. Mr. Stringer was the first man to break the peace. He flourished a formid able looking knife and with it fully drawn -advanced Upon Marshal Domingo1. He was shot down by Deputy Marshal Parker Fowell. while another shot killed George M. Stringer. A shot from an Alliance man laid the Town Marshal and his deputy in re tirement, while on the third round Mr. Jeff Walker, an Alliance man, fell dead. With the two town marshals mortally wounded and the two Alliance leaders shot dead, the crowds became lurious and for an hour the war waxed warm. The feeling between the town and country people is intense and fur ther trouble is feared. DRAWING THE COLOR LINE. Mahone's Supporters Reject Iiangston 'on Arr.naot of Color. wmiT. ncT.HAT TO TITO mniAl'm 1 Washington, October 15. The consul tation between Prof. John M. Langston, the colored Virginia "Republican orator and Mahone's friends at Petersburg last Fri day threatens to cause a tremendous breach in the party. Langston met the Mahoneites for the purpose of arranging terms on which both could stand with dignity and he could consistently support the Mahone ticket All he asked-from them was that his color should not stand in the way of his proper recognition. He has a Congressional con test on his hands which must be tried before the next House, and he requested, not that he should be helped if his cause was not just but that if they found that he had a good case they should promise not to throw obstacles in his way because he is a negro. They scornfully rejected this proposal and added insult to injury by refusing to let him take part in the campaign as an orator before white audiences, saying that he must confine himself to negro gatherings. His friends are very angry. Prof. Langston started for Ohio to-day to take part in the Foraker campaign. SENATORIAL CANDIDATES. A Fierce Fight for the Honors In the New State of Washington. Spokane Falls, Wash., October 15. Great interest is being taken in the Sen atorial question, and members-elect to the Legislature are being besieged with letters from rival candidates. It is agreed that Eastern and Western Washington shall di vide honors, Walla Walla and Spokane each having two candidates Brentz and Allen from Walla Walla, Hyde and Turner from here. It is difficult to tell the real strength of the different candidates. The Walla Walla delegation is divided be tween Brentz and Allen, who also have strength in several other counties. Hyde has his home delegation and a number of votes in other counties, and his friends claims 20 of 46 votes west of the Cascade mountains on tbe first ballot Allen and Brentz are ex-delegates to Congress. Hyde is a prominent lawyer; Turner an ex-judge. The result will depend largely on the support the candidates can get in Western Washington. There the contest is between Allen and Hyde, both having many friends. For the Western Senator, Watson C. Squier, of Seattle, it is generally conceded, has thelead, as he has not only home support, but many votes on this side.

GO WEN'S DEMAND FOR A DOCUMENT Eioits a Tery Decided Protest .Iron the Attorneys for tbe Opposition. The bearing of the case of the Independ ent Refiners' Association, of Titusville, against the Pennsylvala and other railroads was resumed by the Inter-State Commerce Commission yesterday. Some supplemental evidence was introduced and a Boston firm filed a protest as to oil discrimination against that city. The demand for a con tract between the Pennsylvania and the Standard caused a lively discussion. SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. Washington, October 15. The Inter State Commerce Commission heard evidence to-day in the complaint of the Independent Refiners' Association, of Titusville, against the Western New York and Pennsylvania, the Erie, the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, the Fitchburg Railroad, Boston and Maine and the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The petitioners allege that the present rates on oil in the barrels are unjust and unrea sonable, so much so as to render it impossi ble for independent refiners to compete in the New England markets. Franklin B. Gowen, of Philadelphia, and M. J". Heywang, of Titusville, appeared for complainants. The Western New York and Pennsylvania Company is represented by James D. Hancock. James A. Buchanan, of New York, is counsel for the Erie. For the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania Rail roads, Francis L Gowen, B. H. Bristol and James A. Logan. THE EVIDENCE CJTBODUCED. Supplemental evidence to prove the in justice of current oil "rates when shipments are made in barrels, was introduced by the petitioners. A somewhat important point was reached when Lawyer Gowen asked Logan to produce the contract existing be tween the PennsylvaniaRailroad Company and the National Transit, Company, a cor poration owning a pipe line that is controlled and operated by the Standard Oil Company. The attorney of the railroad argued that the contract referred to related exclusively to crude oil and was of no concern in the case under investigation, as the present contro versy was confined to refined petroleum : that the pipe line transported nothing but the crude article. He accused the plaintiffs of seeking, in advanco of trials in the courts of these same matters, to exbloit a contract, the outcome of which is to affect prospective litigation. It was his opinion that no light could come to tbe commission in disposing of the present case by virtue of the prod no tion of the paper. the baxlboad plea. "We are not compelled to criminate our selves," said he. Mr. Gowen said that be offered to prove by the paper that it is a contract entered into between tha Pennsyl vania Railroad and the Standard Oil Com pany to the, effect that in consideration'of its receiving S&per'-cent of the oil carrying trade the railroad company is to maintain equal rates. In addition to that, however, the contract contains a provision nnder which, instead of giving the oil to the rail road in the oil region and compelling them to carry it 450 miles for 62 cents, the pipe line gives the rail carrier a large quantity of the product at Milton, a station only 170 miles from Philadelphia. Kin connection with the hearing to-day, Mr. Lanrens Maynard, counsel for F. W. Babcock & Co., wholesale dealers in illu minating oil at Boston and Providence, sub mitted a printed statement in which the company recites alleged improper classifica tion of oil and unjust and special discrim ination by the railroads against Boston and in favor of 'New York, and says that what ever may be the motives for these apparent injurious acts of the railroads, the result is felt in Boston and New England so as to render it practically impossible for the in dependent refiners to compete in the New England markers, and places such markets practically at the hands of the Standard Oil Trust'.

Socialist SfcevltcB Darea Mayer Cregler to xpel Them From Chicago He Will Talk With His .nonor Tho Hissing of the. Flag. Chicago, Oct 15. Sheviteh, the isarf who hopes to see the day when the red flag: will be carried triumphantly through; tha streets of Chicago, says be proposes to call upon the Mayor to 'see what the city is going to do about it After reading areport of the Socialist convention Snnday afternoon, in' which it was said the American flag was hissed, Mayor Cregier is reported to have said that Sheviteh and his crowd ought to be drummed otf t of the city. Sheviteh says he is going to ask Mr. Cregier what he aaeaas by this language and just how he is going to work to drum him out of town. He says that he meant just what he said when he wished that Chicago would become the Paris the city of revolutions of America. Concerning the flag episode, he said : "Tha American flag was not hissed. , On the con trary it was greeted with great applause when it was unfurled." "What gave rise to the story that it was" hissed?" "1 will tell yon. The flags were- brooght at the moment the Chairman had stepped forward to call the meeting to orderv The red flag was first run up and it was cheered. Then the American flag was unfurled and placed in position, the audience cheering it warmly. Some hisses were heard, but they were not directed against the flag. They were intended to rebuke those who were de laying business by unnecessary demonstra tions. The Chairman, yon will understand, was all this time waiting to call the meet ing to order, and I understood the hissing, to come from those impatient to have the proceedings opened. I have seen the inter views with Mayor Cregier and T wonld like to ask the Mayor on the ground of what laws of Illinois or the United States he intends to drum out of the country any organization of men propagating whatsoever idea as long as they do not commit any breach of tbe peace or other crime?" "Then," Mr. Sheviteh concluded, "the Mayor objects to my calling the execution of the Anarchists the greatest crime of the century. 1 would like to ask him whether, if the disclosures about the moral character of certain Chicago policemen and all the rest of the gang that hounded those men to death are true, he, as an honest man, really believes that those men got a fair trial, and whether he further believes that it was not an outrage on all sense of justice to pnt men to death as accessories to an act whose author was and is unknown. And speaking Of crimes," continued the distinguished So cialist, smiling quizzically, "I would like to ask the Mayor his opinion of the Cronin trial, and whether a police force whose chief object has been thus far to cover up a cow ardly murder, is not the worst gang of An archists the world has ever sees. As to putting me out of the city, I might say that I am an American citizen, and the Mayor, is welcome to try and do it" Mr. Sheviteh said he would call on Mayor Cregier and have a talk with hlmr if the Mayor wonld reoive him.
