His wife sat beside him with traces of recent tears upon her cheeks, but Adry maintained a mask of smiles and joviality. When Harry was brought in by the deputy the eyes of the two brothers met, but there was no sign of recognition other than a smile of commisseration on the face of Harry. Dr. Thadeus T. Hayward, the third brother, was present and was visibly more cordial to Harry than to Adry. It is un- derstood that he will go on the stand and swear that his brother Adry is mentally incapable, and, in fact, insane. When ask- ed this morning whether he would be a witness he refused to either affirm or deny it, and when further questioned as to whether Adry is insane he replied: “If he is not he’s been very near it several times in the past.” ‘The direct examination of ex-Mayor Eus- tis was resumed at the opening of the court with the story of his interview in the Onei- da block with Harry Hayward about the loans he had made to Miss Ging. Mr. Erwin interposed an objection that the information had been obtained under duress, but this was overruled, and the ex-mayor repeated the now familiar story. ‘The cross-examination developed nothing but objections from the state, which were sustained and exceptions noted by the de- fense. Adrian Hayward was then called to the stand and a buzz of subdred interest went around the court room. He stated that he was thirty-three and Harry was twenty- nine years of age. He had come to Minne- apolis twenty-five years ago from Macoupin county, Illinois, where he was born. He was married and had two children. He was employed in his father’s office, where he transacted most of the loan and rental business. Harry was not employed there, but often came there. Harry had told him that last summer and fall he was en in loaning money on diamonds. Harry had’ also told him that he gambled some. He had told him of having loaned money for Miss Ging and having gambled with her money. At this point Mr. Erwin arose and im- pressively said: “I wish to enter an objection here. This witness has a delusion on this subject, and is, In fact, insane.” “] don’t see,” sald the court, “that he’s any more insane than some of the attor- neys in this case.” “I take an exception to the court’s rul- ing,” retorted Erwin, “and to the court's re ‘ks before this jury.” With that remark he sat down and the examination proceeded. “He told me,” continued Adry, “that she held some notes secured by a mortgage on a flour mill at Hamel, and asked me to go out with him to Hamel to see about it. We drove out, and though I advised him against the loan, he made it. Three weeks later he came in and said he had been very lucky, as the mill had burned and he would probably get the money to handle.” ‘The Murderer’s Proposal. “About the middle of September he ask- ed me if I wanted to make good money. I said yes, and he said I could get about $2,000 if I was not too particular. He ask- ed me if I was willing to kill a woman for $2,000. I said I was not willing to kill any- it was impossible to reach the cemetery. ‘The weather has considerably moder- ated, but is still biting cold. * Seka See Want Their Old Wages.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., February 11.— Rev. S. C. Snyder of the Navajo agency at Fort Defiance, who is in this city, says the Indians are having a hard time to exist this winter. Their wool crop was hardly worth shipping and they raised no grain last year. They are eating their horses, of which they have got herds. Two repre- sentatives of the Interior Department are now at the agency investigating the condi- ticn of the Navajoes. No work is now being done on the irrigating’system that is being put in by the government, but it is ex- pected active work will begin on the ditches in the spring. American Tourists Robbed. OAXACA, Mexico, February 11.—Three American tourists, whose names are not known, left here about ten days ago for the state of Chiapas, to make explorations of ancient Aztec cities of that section. Ad- vices were brought in yesterday by a mail courier, announcing that the travelers were attacked near the village of San Javier by a band of Guatemala refugees and robbed ot ali the money and valuables which they carried. 2S eee Combine Against Foreign Pottery. PITTSBURG, Pa., February 11.—J. P. Goodwin, D. E. McNichol and George C. ‘Thompson, prominent pottery manufac- turers of East Liverpool, Ohio, passed through here on their way home from New York, where they attended a big meeting of manufacturers and jobbers. They said they had formed a combine to shut out from the American markets all European pottery products. Heretofore the manu- facturers have sold direct to the retail trade and ignored the jobbers. The latter retallated by handling European goods. They will now get certain concessions, for which they agre2 to stop handling Euro- pean pottery. a ee Heard a Sermon by Telephone. ATLANTA, February 11.—The Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, pastor of the First Baptist Church, preached a sermon last night over also good to the end of the route, within the District, upon the connecting line. Thus, a person could ride from a point on the Washington and Georgetown line to the end of the Tenleytown line for a ticket costing 61-4 cents. Where a person does not buy a quarter’s worth of tickets a transfer to the suburban line may be cb- tained by the payment of 3 cents additional to the original fare. The District committee will probably ac- cept this agreement, it is said, and will attach to It the Metropolitan railway bill that has just passed the Senate. That bill providés that the Metropolitan road shall lay from the intersection of 4%-and L .| streets southwest along 4% street to P street south a single track of underground electric road; thence east along P street to Water street; thence northwesterly along Water street to L street; thence east along L street to the intersection of 41% and L streets.

Following is the conourrent resolution introduced by Senator Pettigrew today: “Resolved, That the President is hereby requested to employ counsel for the pur- pose of bringing suit against the directors and stockholders of the Union and Central Pacific railroads, who received the stock of said roads without paying cash for the same; also to recover from the directors, officers and stockholders of said roads such sums of money as were stolen by them or diverted and converted to any unlawful purpose and therefore not placed in the sirking fund required by law, and the President is hereby authorized to pay to said attorneys the sum of 5 per cent of all sums recovered from said directors or stockholders. “The Attorney General is also directed ‘o foreclose the mortgage of the government on said roads at the earliest possible date, and to take steps to pay off the prior in- cumbrance on said roads, and to use the sinking fund for the purpose; to ascertain the amount of money belonging to the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads that have been invested in branch lines and the amount of bonds and stock of other companies now the property of said roads, and to take steps to secure the gov- ernment interest therein; to ascertain the amount of lands now the property of said roads, and recover the same, or protect the Corbade aa interest in connection there- with. For the purpose of carrying out the ,ro- visions of this resolution, the sum of $100,- 000 is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise ap- propriated. A SUPERVISING ARCHITECT. Secretary Carlisle Will Probably Se- lect One In a Few Days. It is expected that the vacancy in the of- fice of supervising architect of the treas- ury will be filled in a few days. Secretary Carlisle called for the papers of the twen- ty-nine applicants for this oftice today, with a view to the selection of the one best qualified for the place. He regards the matter of great importance and desires to dispose of it as soon as possible. The of- Sisto The credentials of Mr. Hoar of Massa- chusetts for another term in the Senate, beginning March 4 next—the fourth term of Mr, Hoar—were presented to the Senate today by his colleague, Mr. Lodge. Mr. Davis (Minn.) submitted resolutions from the legislature of Minnesota char- acterizing the railway pooling bill as an effort to “legalize a gigantic trust,” and requesting the Minnesota Senators and Representatives to work against the meas- ure. The legislatures of both Kansas and Min- nesota expressed themselves in favor of the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. * "The Senate agreed to the conference re- port on the bill for the removal and settle- ment of the Southern Ute Indians. Mr. Gorman’s motion to reconsider the bill affecting important railroad mineral lands in Montana and Idaho was disposed of by amendments, which led to the with- drawal of the motion to reconsider. Mr. Pettigrew (S. D.) presented a resolu- tion severely arraigning the management of the Union and Central Pacific railroad companies. It directed the President to employ counsel togrecover the sums “stolen by the directors,” etc. The reso- lution also directs the President to protect the interests of the government by using the sinking fund to pay off the first mort- gage and also by taking other steps. Mr. Pettigrew said he would at a later day submit a list of the parties, with the amounts of liability. The Senator said the manipulation of these railroads was a “dis- grace to American civilization.” It caused more distrust and loss than the financial agitation. Mr. Hill's Financial Resolution. A new phase of the financial question came up cn the resolution presented by Mr. Hill of New York, defining the policy of the government corcerning bimetailism, gold payments, etc. The resolution is as follows: “Resolved (if the House of Repre- sentatives concurs), That it is the sense of Congress that the true policy of the gov- ernment requires that its efforts should be steadily directed to the establishment of a safe system of bimetallism, wherein gold and silver may be maintained at a parity, and every dollar coined may be the egual in value and power of every other dollar coin- ed or issued by the United States; but if our efforts to establish or maintain such bimet- allism shall not be wholly successful, and if for any reason our silver coin shall not hereafter be at parity with gold coin and the equal thereof in value and power in the market and in the payment of debts, then it is herby declared that the bonds of the United States now or hereafter issued, which by their terms are payable in coin, shall nevertheless be paid in standard gold dollars, it being the policy of the United States that its creditors shall at all times be paid in the best ‘money in use."" Mr. Hill asked immediate consideration for the resolution, ‘but Mr. Butler (S. C.) objected, and it went over. Mr. Stewar(’s Counter Resolution. Mr. Stewart, a populist, at once supple- mented the Hill resolution with another resolution as, follows: ‘Resolved, That there Is no authority of law to buy gold coin in preference ‘to silver coin for any purpose whatever.” The resolution also went over and the Sgt took up'the post office appropriation THE: HOUSE. was moving along the line of the Belt line car tracks. There was a car drawn by four horses approaching, and when the drivers of the car horses made an outcry the man on the wagon pulled his horses to the side and got out of the way. The car was only a short distance from the wagon at that time. Woodward, whose head and ears were covered to protect him from the cold, was unable to hear the warning, and he evidently did not see the approaching car, for he remained on the track and did not heed the warning. ‘The drivers, James Gates and J. Nally, made every effort to stop the horses, but were unable to do so until after Woodward had been knocke‘ down and dragged some distance. < The police patrol wagon was called and the injured man was taken to the Emer- gency Hospital. All the way to the hos- pital the injured man talked of hi§ wife and child. He realized that he could not recover, and was extremely anxious about those whom he would have- to leave be- hind him. When the hospital was reach- ed it was found that his left arm was broken and he had sustained severe in- ternal injuries, in addition to several ex- ternal bruises and cuts. His wife was sent for, and she arrived at the hospital cerly in the evening, remaining there un- til her husband died, yesterday morning. The autopsy, perfermed by Dr. Glaze- brook yesterday, showed that the severe internal injuries had caused death. Coroner Hammett made an investiga- tion of the case and had the body sent to Wright's undertaking establishment, No. 1337 10th street, northwest, where an in- quest was begun this afternoon. _ Before the Coroner. Henry Garner, a young man, with the deceased at the time of the ac. cident, was the first witness examined. He thought the drivers of the car could have saved Mr. Woodward's life had they pulled the horses from the track. The witness ccmplained that the car, bell was not sounded, and said that Mr. Woodward was knocked down before the drivers made an outcry to warn him of danger. After he was knocked down, said wit- ness, and the car was stopped, one of the drivers told witness to take the injured man away, but he (witness) could not move him without assistance, and the railroad men finally assisted him. “What did Mr. Woodward say to you after he was knocked down?” the coroner asked. “He asked for his wife and child,” the witness replied. Henry Spurling, a disinterested witness, told the jury that he thought the drivers and conductor did all they could -in the matter. The driver pulled up the horses as quickly as they could and then assisted in removing the injured man. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook testified to the autopsy, and said any one of the three injuries sustained would have caused death. He thought it remarkable that the men should have lived so long. Death was the result of shock. George W. Leonard testified that he was crossing Virginia avenue at the time of the accident. He heard one of the drivers call “Look out,” and the next thing he saw was the man under the horses. Wood- ward, he said, was facing the horses, and he knew of no reason why he should not have seen the horses. Witness thought that in attempting to get out of the way Mr. Woodward slipped and fell. @nder the Car. Dr. Edward Green, druggist, at Virginia cancer.

NEW YORK, Februery 11.—The bond ts- sue and the recent heavy storms were con- verted into arguments for the depression of stock values at the opening of today’s market. The sentiment of the trading ele- ment was unmistakably bearish, but the prevailing scarcity of borrowable certifi- cates prevented any pronounced pressure to sell, The short interest has been sub- stantially increased within the last few days, and higher prices would quickly fol- low any attempt to cover. he.presidential appeal for an issue of 3 per cent gold bonds is not expected to avail anything, and last week’s hard bargain is generally construed to be a transitery makeshift, which will soon lose its influence as a speculative factor. The advance of % per cent in the rates for foreign exchange, announced during the early forenoon, was regarded as signifi- cant in banking circles. Washington advices relative to the pool- ing bill were too problematical to warrant action, Interest centered largely in Northwest as the result of bad earnings and a grow- ing belief that decreased dividends for both the common and preferred stock rust follow. Selling by the leading bear operators marked the price down 1 1-8 per cent before any opposition was en- ccuntered. As compared with other mem- bers of the granger group, the price of this stock has long been considered slight- ly above the. limit justified by a strict ap- Plication of the rule governing intrinsic value. The loaning rates have served to stay any continuous decline, but the ten- dency of the stock for several weeks has been in the direction of a lower level, and at the decline there is no change in the sentiment of the street. A rally, how- ever, in consequence of an exhausted sup- ply of stock for delivery purposes is mo- mentarily expected by t more cautious operators. Western Union reacted 1-2 per cent on sales attributed to both accounts, and Lake Shore gained 1 per“cent on transac- ticns involving only a few hundred shares. In the industrial list Sugar attracted the bulk of the attention selling up 1-2 per cent on early trading and reaching to open- ing figures on realizing sales during the noon hour. Reliable advices relative to the probable outcome of the pending ef- forts to repeal ;the one-tenth differential duty on imported sugars state that the chances for the accomplishment of this Purpose are daily decreasing. In view of these assurances traders look with a on = Jong side of the property, but are unwilling to take the initiative in the absente of inside interest. Cordage issues were again under pressure at reductions of 1 1-4 per cent and were the subjects of much adverse comment. The balance of the industrials were given over to dullness and no im- portant changes were recorded. The market for foreign exchange opened strong on a fair volume of business. Thé supply of bills received in this morning’ mail was small, in spite of the fact that the receipts from the south represented the accumulations of three days. In- creased offerings against grain imports are reported, but all such are quickly absorbed.
