A snap élmdlnn Northwest Dlllpfiolnllng. Residents of northern Minnesota, who have visited the Canadian northwest are getting their fill of that part of the King’s domain which has been so widely advertised dur- ing the past two years. The Grand Rapids Independent has the following to say of a resident of that place, who recently returned from the “garden spot”?(?) . of the country a few miles south of the north pole: “L. R. Root returned the latter part of last week from a trip to west- ern Canada where he had been with a view to locating a livery stable. Mr. Root is now a most enthusiastic booster against that much ad- vertised garden (?) spot. The hard times and the hardships which stare the people in the face up in that country, says, Mr. Root are enough to drive prospective settlers out of the country.” Bisbop Morrison Here Sunday. Rev.

PENNYPACKER NAMED Former Governor of Pennsylvania Brought Into Graft Case. STARTLING EVIDENCE GIVEN Witness Declares Letter Supposedly Written by the Architect in Contra- Written by the Architect in Contra- Framed by State’s Executive. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 8.—The names of former Governor Pennypacker and former Attorney General Hampton L. Carson were brought into the capitol prosecution by the testimony of Stan- ford B. Lewis, assistant of Architect Joseph M. Huston, at the trial for al- leged conspiracy of Contractor J. H. Sanderson, former Auditor General Snyder, former State Treasurer Math- ues and ,former Public Buildings Su- perintendent Shumaker. When State Treasurer Berry first called attention to the alleged capitol frauds fourteen months ago Governor Pennypacker directed Attorney General Carson to make an investigation of the charges. Mr. Carson accordingly wrote letters to all persons concerned in the con- SAMUEL W. PENNYPACKER. stpuction and furnishings of the big buflding asking them for information bearing on the charges. All of them repHed and the attorney general made a report which showed that no laws had been violated. Lewls, under cross-examination by counsel for Snyder and Mathues, de- clared that Architect Huston’s letter in the Carson inquiry was suggested and framed by Pennypacker, Carson and Snyder, by whom Lewis was called to Harrisburg to discuss this matter. Lewis said the statements in the letter that every article of fur- nishings had been carefully weighed and measured by the architect before they were delivered and paid for were partly true and partly misleading. He explained that the Huston letter was written to dovetail into the letters written by other persons connected with the construction and equipment of the capitol to the former attorney general. REFUSES TO INTERFERE. Court Keeps Out of Foraker-Taft Fight at Cleveland.- Cleveland,/Feb. 8.—Common pleas court, through Judge Estep, has re- fused to interfere in the contest for control of the Republican county ex- ecutive - committee. Representatives of the Foraker committee sought to enjoin the board of election from rec- ognizing the “regular” or pro-Taft committee as ordered by the secre- tery of state. Judge Estep refused to take any action on the ground that, in his mind, the court has no authority to review the acts of the board of elections except in cases where fraud or irregularity is alleged. Doubtless the case will be carried to the circuit court,” as notice to that effect was filed. s MORSE STILL MISSING. 8tory That He Sailed for Europe Is Doubted. New York, Feb. 8.—The where- abouts of Charles W. Morse is still a mystery, notwithstanding rumors that he was in this city as late as Wednes- day night. United States District At- torney Stimson, who has charge of the federal grand jury investigation of Morse's relations with some of the closed national banks, gave greater impetus to the search for him by re- questing his counsel, Albert B. Board- man, to ascertain where Morse had gone and induce him to return to New York. Mr. Boardman promptly cabled to Liverpool to intercept Morse if he should arrive at Liverpool on the steamer Campania. Considerable doubt as to whether Mr. Morse is on board the steamer has been aroused by a report that Mr. Morse was seen in his box at the Met- ropolitan Opera House Wednesday evening and the statement of Morse’s son Erwin, a Yale university student, who was quoted as saying that he dined with his father at his New York home last Sunday night. The Cam- pania salled from New York on Sat- urday. » Mrs. Morse later announced that her husband sailed for Europe on the Cam- pania and that she accompanied him to the steamer a few minutes before the departure. “Mr. Morse is coming back on‘ the Campania on her next trip,” added Mrs. Morse. “The voyage was under- taken in order that he might have a rest and recover some of his nerve force, which has been badly shattered by his troubles. He is a fighting man and he ‘will be back to face anything necessary.” INHERITS A BARONETCY. Man Who Had Worked as Street Sweeper at Kansas City. Néw York, Feb. 8—Genille Cave- Browne-Cave has sailed for England to secure the title and estates waiting there for him. He is the only surviv- ing son of Sir Mylles Cave-Browne- Cave, who died a year ago at the age of eighty-four years. HEver since the elder baronet’s death his solicitors have heen searching for his son and heir, who was only recently found in America. Sir Genille’s life has been a romantic one. When a boy his father sent him to sea to cure him of his wildness and on his return home he enlisted in a Highland regiment and was then transferred to a cavalry regiment just leaving for the war in Egypt. He fought in the battle of Tel-el-Keber under Lord Wolseley and later went to Afghanistan, where he was captured by the hill tribes, but escaped after being held a prisoner for some time. Returning to England he quarreled with his father and came to America with a small allowance. He then went to Burmah with an ex- t pedition sent out to kill big game for a museum and afterwards served in the South African war. He lived for a time in Hongkong and Yolkohama, | worked as a member of the “white ‘wings” in Kansas City, was a cowboy in the Southwest and in Wyoming, where he was found through inquiries set on foot by the British ambassador at Washington.:< He says that he will return to America as soon as his busi- ness in Epgland is settled and will take up his residence in one of the Western states. NEW USE FOR INJUNCTION Illinois Supreme Court Considering the Matter. Springfleld, 111, Feb. 8.—The Illinois supreme court has decided to consider a new extension of the use of the writ of injunction. Upon a motion of State’s Attorney Healy of Chicago the court consented to a preliminary step in the application for an injunction to restrain Judge Willard M. McEwen of Chicago from hearing arguments for the discharge of a prisoner in habeas corpus proceedings. The case is one indirectly bearing on that of John A. Cooke, a Chicago politician who was convicted of embezzlement and after a sensational legal fight is now in Jol- iet penitentiary. His friends are still planning his release by habeas corpus. The supreme court, in certiorari pro- ceedings, directs Judge McEwen to stay his habeas corpus hearing tem- perarily pending further action of the supreme court. It is the hope of the prosecutor that the supreme court will issue a permanent injunction against Judge McEwen and in doing so make a broad declaration that no lower court has power of habeas corpus re- garding_a prisoner whose case has been -reviewed by the supreme court. This would apparently shut the peni- tenriary doors finally for Cooke. Judge McEwen, whose action is halted, is an avowed candidate for the Republican nomination as governor of llinois. Alleged Members of Black Hand. Pittsburg, Feb. members of an alleged Black Hand society, were arrested here. The for- eigners are said to be responsible for the threatening letters mailed recently to Richard R. Quay, son of the late Senator Quay; C. C. Scaife, W. P. Snyder and Harton Singer, all prom- inent wealthy residents of Sewickley Heights. The men captured main- tained headquarters in an old shanty In a wocds. Cuban Matters Discussed. ‘Washington, Feb. 8.—Cuban matters, which Governor Magoon came to Washington recently to consider, were taken up by the president with Secre- tarles Root and Taft and Governor Magoon. Considerable time was given to the question of the sanitation of Havana and Cienfuegos. No conclu- slons “were reached and the subject will again be taken mp. SQUAW ENDS THREE LIVES Kilis Two Small Children and Com mits Suicide. Deadwood, S.

EXCEEDED HIS AUTHORITY Treasury Department Rules That va- der the Law the President Had No Power to Appoint Mr. Rossiter to the Position. Washington, Feb. 8—Willlam 8. Rossiter, who on Wednesday last was appointed acting public printer in place of Public Printer Stillings, who is under suspension pending an inves- tigation of the affairs of his office, went to the treasury department to have his bond approved. The depart- mert refused to consider the matter on the ground that the president had exceeded his authority in appointing Mr. Rossiter; that under the law the assistant public printer, Captain H. T, Brian, succeeds to the vacancy. Under this informal ruling Mr. Rog- siter later in the day stepped aside and his place was taken by Captain Briat, who will administer the govern- ment printing office as acting public printer for the time being. Mr. Ros- siter, however, does not relinquish the work of inquiry laid out for him by the president. His position in the government printing office becomes that of the president’s personal repre- sentative and he is proceeding with the investigation upon which he is to base his report to the president of conditions existing there and ,of the best methods of putting the big pla\_n‘. on a business basis. The authority under which the treasury department decided not to accept Mr. Rossiter’s bond was the act of Jan. 12, 1895, which provided that in case of death, resignation, absence or illness of the public printer the chief clerk of the government printing office should perform the duties of public printer until a successor was {appointed or such absence or illness shall cease. By the legislative act of 1907 the title of the chief clerk of the government printing office was changed to that of deputy to the pub- lic printer. APARTMENT HOUSE FIRE. One Woman Dead and Several Per- sons Injured. New York, Feb..8.—One woman is dead and several persons are in the hospital suffering from injuries as the result of a fire which destroyed a five-story brick apartment building. The fire is supposed to have started in the drying room of the laundry in the basement and owing to lack of wa- | ter pressure spread with such rapidity | that the occupants had little oppor- tunity to reach the street. Margaret Landon, twenty-two years of age, fell from the fifth fleor and was fatally injured. She had been standing on the fire escape waiting for the arrival of the firemen when she slipped on the icy grating and fell to the pavement. She was re- moved to the Hotel Walton, across the street, where she died a few moments later. Owing tc the snow piled in front of the building the firemen had great difficulty in raising ladders to take down the tenants. As a result of smoke and cold and were carried to the Hotel Walton, where they were attended by doctors and cared for by the hotel management. WILL ASSIST TAFT CAMPAIGN Assistant Postmaster General Hitch- cock to Resign. ‘Washington, Feb. 8—Frank H. Hitchcock, first assistant postmaster general, in a few days will retire from the postal service to undertake, in part, the management of the presi- dential campaign of Secretary Taft. It is likely that Mr. Hitchcock will be succeeded as first assistant post- master general by Charles P. Grand- fleld, chief clerk in the office of the first assistant. Oppose Judge’s Confirmation. ‘Washington, Feb. 8.—A sub-com- mittee of the senate judiciary commit- tee has begun a hearing to determine the fitness of Oscar R.
