Rome, May 3. The green book on the
2ew Orleans lynching comprises 21 dis
patches dated from March 14 to April 28.
v It shows that the Italian Government from
tre commencement persisted in asking that
criminal proceedings be taken against the
lynchers, and that an indemnity be paid to
the families of the victims.
The expression "Brought to justice" re
curs in the official dispatches as well as in
Baron Fava's private letters. The first of
the communications have already been pub
lished. Italy's Last Official Utterance.
After Mf. Blaine's note of April 14, the
volume concludes with a telegram from the
Mwnuis d: Jtndini to the .Marquis Jm
periali, the text of which Is as follows:
I baTe now before me a note addressed to you
cy Secretary Blaine, April 14. Its perusal pro
duces a most painful impression npon me. I
ill not stop to lay stress upon the lack of con
formity with diplomatic usages displayed in
making use, as air. Blaine did not hesitate to
do, of a portion ot a telegram of mine com
municated to him in strict confidence, in order
to get rid of a question clearly defined in our
official documents, which alone possess a diplo
matic value.
Nor will I stop to point out the reference in
this telegram of mine of March 24, that the
words punishment of the guilty" in the brev
ity of telecraphic language actually signified
only that prosecution ought to be commenced
in order that the lynchers recognized as guilty
should not escape punishment.
Thinks Blaine Is Over Astute.
Far abovo all astute arguments remains the
fact that henceforward the Federal Govern
ment declares itself conscious of what we have
constantly asked, and yet it does not grant our
legitimate demands. Mr. Blaine is right when
ho claims the payment of indemnity to the
families of the victims dependent upon proof
of the violation of tne treaty, but wo shrink to
.think that he considers such violation still
needs proof.
Italian subjects acquitted by American juries
were massacred in prisons of the State with
out measures being taken to defend them.
'What other proof does the Federal Govern
ment expect of a violation of a treaty wherein
constant protection and security of subjects
otthe contracting turtles is expressly stipu
lated? We have placed on evidence that we
have never asked anything else but the opening
of regular proceedings. In regard to this.
Baron Fava's first note, dated March 10, con
tained even the formula of the telegram ad
dressed on the same day by Mr. Blatne under
the order of President Harrison to the Gover
nor of Louisiana.
The Main Point of the Controversy.
Now, however, in the note of April 14, Sir.
Blamo is silent on the subject which is for us
the main point of controvorsy. We are under
the sad necessity of concluding that what to
every other Government would appear to be
the accomplishment of strict civil duty is im
possible to the Federal Government.
It is time to break off this bootless con
troversy. Public opinion, the sovereign
judge, will know how to indicate an
equitable solution of this s:rave prob
lem. We have affirmed, and we again affirm
our first right. Let the Federal Government
reflect upon its side if it is expedient to leave
to the mercy of each State of the Union, irre
sponsible to foreign countries, the efficiency of
treaties, pledging its faith and honor to entire
nations.
The present dispatch is addressed to you ex
clusively, not to the Federal Government.
Your duties henceforward are solely restricted
to dealing with current business.
TO DBIVE OUT SICILIANS
A Movement to Take the Now Orleans
Fruit Business From Them.
-FritCIAI. TZ LEO RAM TO THB DISrATCH.l
Nrcw Obleaxs, May -3. During the
height of the Mafia exeftement here, when
the anti-Italian sentiment was strongest, it
was suggested that the business of unload
ing fruit vessels outrbt to be taken from the
Sicilians, and that it this was done it would'
materially reduce the Italian colony. It
has grown to great importance since then,
and an association has decided to try and
drive ont the Italian labor. 'The Italians
absolutely monopolize this business, and
where they have no organization, or at least
profess to have none, thev manage to freeze
out everyone else who competes with them.
The Stevedores and 'Longshoremen's Asso
iUf declares that whenever the importers
have employed other labor "they have fared
better than with Italians.
Tt trill therefore insist that only union
labor shall be employed and that the un
load inc of fruit vessels shall be carried on
under the same rnles and regulations aa
go Tern all vessels which arrive at this port
with other cargoes. There is no question of
tariff involved, as the men are thoroughly
satisfied with the wages paid. The Italians
will not abandon this business without a
struggle, and it is s struggle where the
question will not be simply one of union
and non-union labor, but of race as well,
and the feelin? in reirard to the Italians has
by no means qtibsided yet.

ISFKCIAX.2XX.SOBAU TO TEX DISPATCH. 1
Philadelphia, May 3. That Italians
shall sot be a foreign horde, but become
American citizens, is the purpose for which
an important organization to be known as
the "Italo-American Iieague" is to bo
formed in this city. It is estimated
that there are upwards of 20,000 Italians in
Philadelphia. A score of secret societies
exist, but there is more or less jealousy
among them. The importance of the big
league proposed is such that it is expected
that an establishment of the organization
here will be followed by a similar move
ment in Hew York, Chicago, New Orleans
and other large cities, the league baying
Philadelphia as headquarters. Francis
Tesoriere, who is connected with-the law
office of A. "W. Horton. and is about to or
ganize the league, gave the following out
line of its purposes:
Our plan is to organize a society to be called
the .Italo-American League, which shall be a
purely philanthropic concern, calculated to ad
vance the interests of Italian residents, morally
and materially. The league will be supported
by monthly contributions of its members, and
will admit any one, provided he will conform to
the rnles and spirit of the organization. The
chief objects ot the league will be the follow
ing First To make American citizens of all Ital
ians belonging to it. Every applicant would be
required to be a naturalized citizen before be
eominga member, or if he should not be a citi
zen, to take the preliminary steps toward be
coming one immediately upon joining the
league. The league would secure the papers
for Its newmembers at its own cost and expense
if they had no money.
Second To secure through the medium of
the Italo-American League the enactment of
laws looking toward the suppression of low
and degrading avocations carried on by Ital
ians, snch as organ grindinr, eta, and a reform
in the manner of living such as will conform
to sanitary laws.
Third To establish a bureau in connection
with and under the direct supervision of the
Italo-Amencln League, for helping poor im
migrants upon their arrival in this city, in
order to prevent their becoming objects of
public charity.
Fourth To furnish the means for the pro
tection of such poor Italian laborers as are
often made the victims of designing and con
scienceless bosses or padrone.
Fifth To establish, in the course of time, a
school for the education of Italian residents in
the English branches and in a rudimentary
knowledge of American institutions.
Sixth To establish, in the course of time, a
library and club house for the Italo-American
League, said library to be free of access to all
Italian residents, and at proper seasons a
course of lectures to be given therein.
Seventh To found in due course of time, un
der the auspices and through the medium of
tha italo-Arnerlcan Leaerue. a bosnital and
infirmary for the reception and treatment of
Italian patients.
Eighth To encourage the full exercise of
the rights of American citizenship without in
the least influencing .the political opinions of
the roeOb-rs,1 n -iwOTsi.
Ninth To help and assist onfortunatS
Italians of any class and condition who shah
be deserving of kindly treatment at our hands.
FAVA'S NIGGARDLY-WAYS, -
A PTBST-CLASS BOAST GIVEN HIM BY A
PELLOW ITALIAN.
Slgnor Morono Says the Baron's Torn for
Economy Has Made Italy a Laughing
Stock at Washington One Measly Boom
for a Legation.
rFBOM A STAFF CORBESPOKSZXT.l
Washington, May a Signor Celso
Cffiser Moreno is one of the best known
figures of the National Capital and a very
entertaining character, who always has
something to say. He is a subject of the
kingdom of Italy, but has for years been
disgusted with the representation of Italy in
the United States and with such Italians as
Baron Fava and his friend, Dr. Verdi. He
keeps posted in regard to these matters, as
few others do, and maybe supposed to speak
the naked truth. Discussing the matter of
the possible closing of the Legation, Signor
Moreno has this to say:
The royal coat-of-arms and the national flag
of Italy cannot be taken down, for the simple
reasons that thev are not there, they never have
been there, and there is no place to put them.
The Italian Legation does not exist in Wash
ington, unless, in scorn, a furnished room at
Da 1110 Connecticut avenue. In a small house,
situated between the barber shop of a negro,
by name Peter Marshall, and the shOD of a
confectioner and caterer, by name Kitti, is
called the Legation of His Maj est j, the King of
Italy.
The legation of His Majesty, the King of
Italy, in Washington is peripatetic, and is al
ways to be found in a modestly furnished room
in modest lodging houses, where poor clerks,
waiters, barbers and shopkeepers lodge. This
official niggardliness, which has so much dam
aged the prestige ot the Italian name and made
Kava the laughing stock of the foreign diplo
mats and of the people of Washington, has been
for years an item for the daily chronicle of the
capital. While all the nations of Europe,
Mexico, Central and South America, and even
China, Korea and Japan have palaces for
their legations and give grand recep
tions, Italy alone showed the most squalid
official noverty, worth of scorn and ridicule
a public scandal.
Fava, In order to save the fat salary of (16,
000 a year which the overtaxed Italian tax
payers gave blm, always accepted Invitations
to dinners and receptions from foreign diplo
mats, from Presidents ClevelandandUarrison,
from Mr. Blaine and prominent citizens. But
on account of this niggardliness, or because his
furnished room was too small.be never recipro
cated the courtesies and hospitality offered to
him as the representative of the classic land of
Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci.
Baron Fava's turn for economy is made all
the more strlkioc when it is known that he
was allowed So, 000 a year by the Italian Govern
ment to pay rent for a Legation building In
Washington. Not long ago the rumors about
Fava's way of living reached Rome. An official
of the foreign office there wrote to a friend in
Washington, asking for exact Information as
to the sort of style in which Fava lived. The
desired information was sent.
TETINQ TO BEVIVE HAMILTON.
Another Story to the Effect That Robert
Bay Is Not Bead.
rSFXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO TBI DISPATCH. 1
Denvee, May 3. Thomas Cooper, a
well known .Wyoming guide, has returned
from Jackson's Hole, in the Snake Eiver
Valley, the scene of the supposed drowning
of Kobert Bay Hamilton, and tells an
interesting storv of the event which
indicates that there are strong grounds for
the suspicion held by many people in the
East that Hamilton is not dead, but is
alive and well. The apparent disinclination
of those directly interested in the iden
tification of the body to have
a complete and thorough identification ii
strong evidence that the body found was
not that of Hamilton. The body was much
decomposed, and none of the men who
helped take it from the river could ideutily
it positively as being the corpse of Hamil
ton. By what seems a strange coincidence Dr.
Green, a New York, iriead-of Hamilton's,
casa to tUi scene nd proposed that an ex-
amlnatlon should be made to see If tha
body contained any wound or showed
any evidence of foul play, and the
request was unheeded and the body was
buried as Hound with clothing, boots and
spurs on it just at taken from the river.
A "ranchman living in the region, named
Davis, knew Hamilton, and claims to have
met Hamilton at Green Eiver after the time
the body was found.

HirwYoBK, May 3. The prayers that
were offered in all the Protestant churches
in Brooklyn this morning and evening for
the recovery i of the Eev. Dr. George
W. Bothweli, the pastor of the
Church of the Covenant, who, 15 days ago,
breathed a cork into his left bronchial tube,
were unavailable. He died to-night,
at 920 o'clock, of exhaustion. His
right lung, which for two weeks has
been compelled to do the work .of both, went
into a collapse from the overwork and death
followed. Seldom has a man made a
stronger fight for his life than Dr. Bothweli
made.
When Dr. Bothwell's condition was first
believed to be dangerous be said one day
that if he should die, and the doctors
thought an autopsy on his body
would .give any enlightenment to the
medical profession, it was bis wish that one
should be performed. In all probability
this wish will be complied with to-morrow.
There is said to be no similar case to Pr.
Bothwell's iu the annals ot medicine.
Dr.-Bothweli was 41 years old. He was
born in Marion county, Ohio, in 1850. His
father was a farmer, and the first 15 years of
the'son's life was spent on the farm. A
few years later he was licensed as
an exhorter by , the local Metho
dist Conference. At 20 he went
to the college at Adrian, Mich., and grad
uated two years later. He became pastor
of tha Methodist Church at Newcomerston,
O. While there he became a Congregation
alism He went to the Yale -Theological
Seminary and graduated from there. Then
he accepted the pastorate of the Congre
gational Church in Portland, Mich.
Later he was appointed by the Missionary-Society
of the Congregational Church as
professor of mental and moral philosophy at
the Straight University iu New Orleans.
He then became President oi the South
ern University. After two years there
he acoepted a call from the Second Congre
gational Church in Oakland, Cal. He re
mained there until last June, when he came
to Brooklyn to take the pastorate of the
Church of the Covenant.
A BAD BOIT.KR EXPLOSION,

At the Keystone rolling mil", on Secoid

35 years,a water tender who lives on Second

At 3 o'clock this morning the report from
the Homeopathio Hospital, whither both
men were conveyed, was that, though both
men were badly burned, they were likely to
recover.
There were five men engaged in the boiler
house at the time of the accident. The
firemen say that 'the boilers had
been frequently patched, but in. the
absence of the manager no definite
information on the point could be obtained.
The fires had been banked since Saturday

Inspector Byrnes Pays Little Attention to

New Yosk, May 3. Inspector Byrnes
said to-day that he attached no importance
to the arrest by the Jamaica authorities, of
the man named Holland as a suspect in the
East Eiver Hotel murder case. He said
that he should send nobody to take
a look -at the man. The Jamaica police
will have to bring their prisoner over to
New York if they think they've got the
right man. Inspector Byrnes also took oc
casion last night to say that he had sent
no cable dispatch to Scotland Yard saving
that he believed that his prisoner, "Frenchy
No. 1," was the original London Bipper.
If his name had been signed to such a dis

There was a report that the Inspector
would have some news to tell in the even

tSFXCXIX TBLIGBAIC TO THi DISFATCH.f
PHn.ADEXPBiA.May3. A great com
bination of Bepublican leaders in this State
for the control of politics for the next six
years and the election of a. combine delega
tion from Pennsylvania to the National
Convention next year, is now in prpclssa Of
formation and it is possible that Quay and
Magee may both be in it Senators Cam
eron, Quay, Collector Cooper and General
Hastings will be the big four of the com
bine if Magee can't be comfortably fitted in.
The prizes in sight of this scheme ore:
First, the nomination of the State ticket
this summer; second, the selection of a
State Chairman to succeed .the politically
moribund Andrews; third, the Chairman
ship or the National Committee in 1892;
fourth, a place in the Cabinet of a prospec
tive successor of Harrison in the Presi
dency; fifth, a United States Senatorsbip
from Pennsylvania; sixth, the Governorship
of the State in 1895.
Many Birds in the Bush.
There appears to be in this list a fairly
good crop of birds in the bush and none to
speak of In hand, but when the plan is fully
unfolded the proposed arrangement-appears
much simpler than at first blush. One of
the most important and interesting details
ot the plan is the promise to General Hast
ings that he shall be nominated for Gov
ernor in 1891, practically without opposi
tion, which it is hoped will bring all of the
General's large and. enthnsiastio following
in the deal. As a part of this arrangement
Collector Cooper has already given General
Hastings the assurance that the Cooper Gab-,
ernatorial aggregation is off the track for
good and all, and that the Cooper-Cameron
following will fall in between the Hastings
procession.
This is what the choice of Bepresentative
Jesse M. Baker for State Chairman means,
and this management is also understood
to carry with it the nomination of Speaker
C. C. Thompson for" State Treasurer, end
Senator Mylm, of Lancaster, for Anditor
General. It is thought that the Baker-.Cooper-Quay-Thompson-Mylin
combination
can easily control the State Convention.
The Most Important Work Ahead.
The election of Baker will pave the way
for the most important work immediately
ahead of the, big combination, viz.: The
control of the State Convention next year,
and the election of a practically solid com
bination delegation from Pennsylvania to
the National Convention, which will op
pose the renomination of President Harri
son if the next fall's elections show that a
Bepublican candidate has a good chance of
an election.
Senator Quav will control this delegation,
and is expected to see that its vote is most
effective, and that it will enable Quay to be
easily .re-elected Chairman of the National
Committee. , Supposing this much to be ac
complished, the rest ot the combination
scheme rapidly develops. Quay would be

'This would, of course, contemplate the
election of a successor to Quay in the United
States Senate iu accordance with the plans
of the combln-. It la a deeply interesting
point and one which is just now somewhat
in abeyance as to who is to be fixed upon
for this succession!
Strong Inducements for Magee.
It is evident that some strong inducements
must be held out to Mr. Magee, who is just
now the bad boy in the Bepublican family,
to go into an arrangement iu which Quay is
the chief figure, but it is hoped that if the
Senator can overlook the party and personal
mischief made by Magee, the Pittsburg
leader can afford to let bygones be bygones,
when a United States Senatnrship is held
up as his reward.
Magee is not yet in the combination, but
he is willing, so it is said, to take the Sena
torsbip. Should Maeee refuse to go in the
arrangement U is asserted that Collector
Cooper would be an agreeable colleague for
his friend and stanch supporter,Camerou.
It is certain that President Harrison has
been apprised of the contemplated coup,and
his personal friends in this State are in
censed at Cooper and the other officeholders,
whom they declare are in the deal.

Congressman Springer Says Something Is
Wrong Criticising Becent Treasury
Statements Practices of Former Offi

Have Been Grossly Manipulated.
IFEOU X BTATP COBBXSFONDXKT.1
Washington, May a Notwithstand
ing the statement of Secretary Foster, Direc
tor of the Mint Leech and Assistant Treas
urer Whelpley that there is anywhere from
3150,000,000 to 5200,000,000 of available
funds in the treasury, the Democratic lead
ers with a good deal of generalizing and a
plentiful lack of specifications, 'insist that
there is something wrong and that a Treas
ury deficit is imminent. The most explicit
of these critics is Bepresentative Springer,
of Illinois, and he gives to the press his
views after the following fashion:
Something must oe the matter when within a
week's time three or four statements relative to
the finances of the Treasury are made pnblic.
If there is no occasion for uneasiness and no
deficit is staring the Treasury in the face, then
why this assurance that we still have a surplus
of 60 or more million dollars in the Treasury T
Suppose there is a surplus in the Treasury,
how long will it hold out with the Government
receipts 'dropping off at tho rate shown in tho
debt statement for April? It the Secretary
should iiauo new bonds that would be a virtual
admission of a deficit.
lhe Republicans knew what would follow
their extravagance. The Democrats warned
them of the result that would surely
come from their recklessness and the condi
tion of the Treasury to-day is due to the billion
dollar. Congress. The $1,000,000,000 which was
appropriated by the Fifty -first Congress for
me two nscai years uoes not ineinue an tne
money appropriated f or.there were continuing
appi opriations which may necessitate addi
tional taxation ot the people, in order
to meet the demands of tne Government. The
next Congress will be called on to appropriate
millions of dollars, made necessary by the acts
of the Fifty-first Congress. And, by the by, I
should also include in the appropriation that
the next Congress will be called on to make a
number of deficiencies, notably the pension de
ficiency, which in Itself will be sufficient to
cause the people to stop and think. It matters
notwbat the Treasury officials do, they are in a
hole, however much they shift about.
.To those familiar with practices of former
Secretaries of the Treasury, under Bepubli
can regimes, the manipulating of the Treas
ury statements' by Mr. Leech and other of
ficials is not a surprise. The statement used
to contain what was known aa the Pacific
Bailroad debt, which was dropped out in
1869. In 1871 "and" previous years balances
were forced on the books of the
Treasury aggregating over $300,000,000, and
fictitious warrants were issued to cover
these amounts, which, as the Chief of the
Warrant Divlson testified, Were not eyen
filed The Eeglster of the Treasury, who Is
the e-ffloial bookkeeper, wasTequlred by an
order of the Secretary of the Treasury on
due? occasion to alter the statements of the
pnftio debt from the years 1791 to July,
1870, inclusive, because these statements
"were frequently referred to in England and
the discrepancies between them constantly
and unfavorably commented on."
But this was not all. Sworn testimony,
taken by a committee of the Senate, shows
that in three ledgers from the Begister's
office and six from the offioe of the Secretary
of the Treasury there were found 2,527 eras
ures and alterations, the changes involving
items as large as $20,000,000. Under such a
system of spoliation the mere alteration of a
public debt statement is not regarded as a
very grave affair.

The Sad Story of the Tonng Daughter of a
Wealthy Chicago Iron Manufacturer
She and Jler Sister Become Intoxicated
In New York Concert Halls.
New Yobkt, May 3. Georgie Arlington,
a blonde young woman, who is said to be
the daughter of Peter Arlington, a wealthy
iron manufacturer in Hyde Park, Chicago,
ended a drinking bout last night by com
mitting suicide in the flat of her sister,
Annie Arlington, at 270 West Fortieth
street. According to Annie's story, her sis
ter has been a wild girl for the past three
years. The father frequently sent her money
and tried to persuade her to come home, but
she would not. Two years ago Georgie was
married to a man named John Dougherty,
in St. Paul, but she left him after a short
time and went down to New Orleans. Three
weeks ago she came to New York, and her
sister says tnat she has been living at the
Hotel Boyal on money that her father sent
her.
Georgie was of medium height and slen
der figure. Her sister Annie is a brunette
and small. Annie says that she herself is
married, but that just now her husband is
abroad. At any rate she lives in ahand
soinelrfurnished flat and Geonrie has dined
.with her every day that she has been in
New York. Testerdav Geonrie called for

in the afternoon the women drank five pints
of champagne. They fell in with some of
the men that hang around Koster & Bialis
and went with; them to some other hall,
where they drank more wine. .Annie then
went home. Georgie returned an hour
later with a man, and Annie, so she says,
scolded her for bringing a strange man to
the house. Georgie's friend left her then
and the sisters quarrelled for an hour. Both
were very drnnk.
About 8 o clock Georgie staggered back to
the kitchen of the flat, and telling Susie
Yates, the colored servant, that she was go
ingto die, she took a small bottle of car
bolic acid from the cupboard and attempted
to drink 'the contents. According to the
story of the Degress, if Annie had not inter
fered the girl's life would have been saved.
Susie Yates says that when she attempted to
take the bottle of carbolicacid from Georgie,
Annie grabbed her (Susie) and pulled her
to one side of the room, holding her until
Georgie had emptied the bottle. Annie
said last night that she attempted to take
the bottle from, her sister, but admits that
she was too drunk to remember much about
it. Georgie fell on the kitchen floor, and
when Policeman Shields found her she was
still alive. He face was badly bnrned by
the acid, Annie was wringing her hands
over her sister and crying. When the
Boosevelt Hospital ambulance arrived
Georgie was dead. The police are investi
gating the stories told by Annie Arlington
and the colored woman.

Dr. Newton Befers In a Pointed Manner to
the Trial of MacQueary,
1SPSCTAL TZLKOBAK TO THE DISPATCH. 1
New Yobk, May 3. The Be v. Dr.
Heber Newtonalked about "Faith, Hope
and Charity" at All Souls' Church to-day.
He insinuated that many Christians of to
day would sacrifice charity for orthodoxy or
an ecclesiastical order. Dr. Newton said
that the massacre of St. Bartholomew was
one of the atrocities committed through
faith, which also "buried libraries, closed
schools, anathematized science, martyred
philosophers, whitewashed the walls on
which art had drawn her glorious visions,
stayed the progress of the human race
through centuries, and wrought incalcula
ble evil to civilization."
Dr. Newton referred to the recent trial of
Mr. MacQueary. He said: "Not many
weeks ago a certain court, was convened in
a certain diocese of our own loved Episco
pal Church, to try a certain man concerning
his views. From the beginning to the end
of that trial the question was not
raised as to whether these views
were conformable to truth, whether they
were in accordance with our best knowledge;
but simply and alone whether they squared
with the form of faith which the church
held. In other words, the chief regard of
organized Protestanism, equally with
Bomanism, is not truth in itself, but truth
as held by the fathers and delivered bv
them to their children; that is, truth ar
rested, fixed, stereotyped, final."

ITPXCIAL TELZOBAM TO THE DISPATCU.1
Meastixltj, May 3. The Delamater
settlement scheme has ended infa dispute be
tween ex-Senator G. W. Delamater and the
Creditors Committee concerning an oner of
the committee to become personally respon
sible for obtaining the signature of all the
creditors who had not signed the agreement.
Mr. Delamater says he did not understand
the committee to make any such offer. The
committee has as yet made publio no state
ment of the interview of Friday night which
was the last one held with Mr. Delamater,
but it will, perhaps, make ona on Mon
day. A prominent member of tbe com
mittee said to-night that such an offer was
positively made to Mr. Delamater in about
these words:
"This committee will give yoii their per
sonal guarantee and a bond with good and
sufficient surety to either procure the signa
tures of the holders ot the remaining $22,000
' of claims, or will protect you against SO per
cent of their claims. This oner was made
by Colonel John B. Compton in the pres
ence of the full committee and several other
gentlemen. Mr. Delamater asked for
further time until the next day. Mr. X.
H. Lauderbaugh said promptly: "But to
morrow will be too late lor us. The con
tract must, according to its terms, be signed
to-night." Mr. Delamater insisted that he
had not heard from his friends who had
promised to help him and could not give an
answer until he had heard from, them.
On Saturday morning, he says, he re
ceived a letter from one of them which
convinced him that he could not grant an
extension of time with any prospect that he
could carry out the agreement if at all, and
he so informed the committee.
Public sentiment is divided. Tbe greater
number ot people believe the Delamaters
have played a big game of bluff all the.
while, anil that they never had any backing
to justify their offer of compromise. Others
believe that thev had some backing when
they made the offer, but that when these
friends came to examine the character
of tbe assets and the amount
of the liabilities . they were glad
of any excuse to withdraw their offer.

Ex-Saloonlsl's Action
nweiy
Discussed Yesterday.
A BEEEZS HAS BEEN STIEBED UP.
Chief Brown Considers That the Lair Ess
Been Violated, bat
LAWIEES SA1 THESE MAI BE ESCAPE
The novel device of John Stroup to get
ahead of the Brooks law, and which was de
scribed fully in yesterday's Dispatch,
whether a doubtful expedient or a success
ful evasion, was the chief topio of discussion
yesterday on the streets, among saloon men,
lawyers and others. A great many people
shook their heads and seemed to think that
such a course would soon put a man behind
the bars, and they wouldn't like to try it.
Afew hold that Stroup's action is all right,
but the man who sells the drinks i3 the vio
lator of the law.
The saloon keeper is not allowed to fur
nish liquor to minors or persons intoxicated,
but by this method he doesn't know who is
getting the drinks. The claim is made that
the saloon man is shitting a responsibility
which the courts placed upon him person
ally, and he must answer for it. If this
view is correct, then it would look as if two,
instead of one, have been taking chances
with the law.
An Old Hotel Man's Opinion,
Mr. "Wells, the bookkeeper at the Du
quesue, is an old hotel man. He thought if
the drinks were paid for at the bar and car
ried out oi the place into another, and there
drank, it was not a violation of the law.
He pointed to the City Hall, and remarked
if a saloon were across the street he could
send over and get a glass of beer, ii the
keeper was willing, and have it brought to
him.
Another hotel proprietor said: "I think
it is a very risky piece oi business. The
question is, does not Mr. Stroup resell tho
drinkT True, it is without profit, but, in
my opinion, he vends it, and this is against
the law without a license. It is a knotty
problem, and only a man of nerve would
try it."
The Police to Act Promptly. '
The Department of Pnblic Safety will
take the Stroup matter in hand to-day, with
the probable result of his being arrested for
selling liquor without a license. During
the past few years the police have been
making one crusade after another against
the violators pf the Brooks law. and the.pnly
tuing toba-?ani3erea'm ISh case k-wfielher
or not it is a violation. Police officials
seem to think it is such, and there can be
only one result. Chief Brown has not fnlly
'considered the matter, but he feels that some
action is necessary.
"I have no information on the subject,"
said he, "beyond what I read in The Dis
patch. If Mr. Stroup is doing what he
claims he will certainly strike against the
law. As far as I can see the serving of
liquors in Mr. Stroup's place is in violation
of the law. I propose to get more legal
light on the matter -to-morrow, and will
then decide what to do. It the law is vio
lated he will most assuredly be sued. I
think Mr. Stroup has gotten himself into
pretty serious trouble over this affair."
McAleese Says It's a Violation.
Inspector MoAleese, whose arm has fallen
on hundreds of illegal liquor sellers, was
asked his opinion of the case. He replied:
"There is no question iu my mind but
that such action is au open violation of the
Brooks law. I am no lawyer, but common
sense seems to point that way and com
mon sense does not often go wrong. I have
strict orders from Chief Brown to make in
formations against ail persons who sell
liquor without license and have been doing
so whenever they are found. I certainly
can see no reason for exempting Mr.
Stroup from tbe order. The question of
whether he makes any money by serving
these drinks in his restaurant is not one for
consideration. The only thing is whether
he sells or not. He has no license to sell
and if he does so he is liable to prosecu
tion. "The whole thing is simply an effort to
evade the law, which is objectionable to
every person who respects the law. As I
understand the matter a man goes into Mr.
Stroup's place and gets a meal, for which
he is charged a certain price. Then ii he
wants a drink the waiter goes to a neighbor
ing saloon, buys it and brings it back to the
guest. Tbe amount tbe waiter had to pay
for it is placed on the guest's check in addi
tion to the charge for the meal.
A Hard Question to Answer.
"Now. how can Mr. Stroup dispute tho
claim that he is first buying the drink
from the saloon and then selling it to his
guest? It is a sale whether he makes a
profit or not,"
"Then, do you riroposa to make an in
formation against Mr. Stroup for selling
liquor illegally?"
'I could not do otherwise without un- -fairness
to others whom we have made
answer for a similar offense. An
illegal liquor seller is the same
offender uuder any circumstances, and
we recognize no difference between
a speak-easy in a filthy cellar and a speak
easy in a magnificently furnished cafe. I
have uot investigated the case, bnt If Mr.
Stroup is doing this kind of business he
will hear from me, and very quickly at that.
"We are here to see that the laws are en
forced, and propose to deal with the rich
just the same as with the poor."
. Detective Sol Couhon said: "It looks to
me like a direct violation of the Brooks law.
Mr. Stroup is apparently paving his way to
tne worKhonse,
Information is expected to be made
against Mr, Stroup some time to-day. The
general sentiment among those connected
with the poliqa department is that he has
gotten himself into a serious entanglement.
Inspector McKelvey stated last evening
that he did not know what he would, do if
any of the Southaide restaurant keepers
wonld imitate Stroup in serving drinks
with meals. He thought it would be used
against every one who did so when they ap-
plied for license next ye-ir.
A Good Lawyer's Oslnlon.
A prominent lawyer says there may poni
bly be some way by which Mr. Stroup caa
hide behind the Brooks law. "The fact
that he makes no profit is in his favor,"
said that gentlemen. "All he does, ii
seems, is to deliver the drinks and collect
the money sort of a bartender without
salary. There is no doubt that he violates
tbe intent of tbe law, bnt there may be a
technicality bv which ha can eaeane. Tha
law does not say the liquor must M drank
