ipe——— NINETEE VERY DAMAGING TESTINONY, | Martin Burke Identified By the Carlsons. THE WINNIPEG SUSPECT WINCED. The Landlord and His Danghiters=in- Law Positive He is the Man Who Rented the Ootta to as Frank Williams. The Carlson Carpet in Evidenos, Cnrcaco, Nov. 1.—Martin MoHale, a car- pet layer, was the tirst witness in the Cronin trial v morning. Mo testified that the carpet bought by *4J. H. Simonds” Feb- ruary last was laid by him (the witness) on the floorof the room at 117 Clark street. Witness was then shown a piece of the carpet presumably from the Carlson cottage, and he identified it as identical n pattern with that which he laid in the Clark street room. Jonas Carlson, owner of the cottuge, was the next witness, He coroborated the testi- mony of his daughter-in-law, Anna, about the stranger coming to rent the cottage, e went on to say that the stranger, who gave the name of Frank Williams, said ke had Ahreo brothers and his sister was to como from Baltimore to keep house for them. Heo hud bought furuiture and it would arrive in two or thren days. The stranger then took the key. Witucss said he had met and talked with O'Sullivan, one of the defend- ants, many times. O'Sullivan lived in the immediate viciuity, After tho shipping clerk, delivery man and otMer cmployes of Hevill's had testificd the first important witness of the day, Mrs. Anna Carlson, was placed on the stand, ‘The young woman bezan her testimony very timidly and at times her voice was al- most indudible. She related how on the 20tk of Maren, while she was at the Catlson cot- tage, & man canie to rent the cottago which stood near. Ho said his sister was keeping houso for him and that he hud some furni- ture he wanted to move in at once, He gave his name as Irank Williams, Mrs. Carlson,” asked the counsel for the state, *'do you sce that stranger in the court room now(" “*Yes, sir," “Will you point him out to the jury1 “There he 1s.” The wituess pointed di- rectly to Martin Burke. Do you mean Martia Burke, that mani’ continted Mills, pointing to Burke again. “Yes,” responded the witness, und that ended her examination, On cross-examination Mrs. Carlson testi- fled that she had never seen Burke from the duy he entered the cottage until a few days ago when she came 1uto the court room to identify him, yet she recoguized him im- mediately. At the afternoon session Jonas Carlson was recailed. He said the stranger after renting the vottage walked over to O'Sulli- van’s stable, whcre he met the ice man and talked with him, The next time the witness saw Burko it was about 8 p. m. of May 4, afew hours before Cronin was murdered. At 7 o'clock that evening the witness beard two men talking in the cottage, In April tho witness had a conversation with O'Sullivan about the men who had rented the cottage. O'Sullivan told him he knew one of them was all right und would pay the rent when due, On May 19 Curison had sation with O'Sullivan inwhich he_told the latter the cottage was vacant and that ho had recoived aletter from the man who had rented it asking him (Carlson) to put the furniture in the basement, and s: g he had painted the parlor floor to suve his sister the trouble of scrubbing. On May 20 the witness entered the blood- stained cottage. He described the condi- tions there apparent. Mr. Mills then asked how many times he had seen a man calling himseif I'rank Williams. — Carlson replied, Three times.” Mr. Mills then said: will ask you if you sec that man now?{” The witness looked in a bewildered way to the back of the court in an endeavor to pick out from the sea of fuces before himn the man he wanted. Look back of the lawyers, Mr. Carlson,” #aid Mills, as the old gentleman hesitated. He had hardly uttered the words when tho witness, walking straight up to Martin Burke, 8100k his hut at bim and excluimed : “Tnat’s the man.” Despite his utmost efforts to appear uncon- cerned it was ovident Burke fully realized the damaging nature of old mun Carison’s testimony. Mills was not slow o clinch his advantage, s that the mau?” he asked (inaicating Martin Burke), ‘you called Frank Will- jums?” aud the Witness unhesitatingly an- swered: *Yes sir,” Darlson was cross-examiued at great length, but his testimony was unshaken. John Garrity, a teamster, testified that about two y ago Coughlin told him he wanted to seo *Major” Sampson, He wanted to get him to “slug a man.” He wanted the man disfigured for life, and 1f he was killed 1t wouldn't make much dif- ference. Adjourned. In regard to the alleged confession of Burke, told by Prisoner Gillotte, at Winni- peg, yesterday, the chief of police is looking up that part of Gillewte's story in which he speaks of the murderer getting money in an oficeon Dearborn street, and is also looking up the woman Burke spoke of. It is also re- ported that a woman answering the descrip- tion sold out her furniture last summer and left for the old country, States Attorney Lougenecker this afternoon made light of the published accounts of Gillette's story, saying that there was nothing in 1t and all that Gitletto kuows he (Longenecker) has locked up in his safe. He intimated that the story didn't amount to much, Sylvester B, Brown, busiuess partner of Thomus Kavanaugh, one of the men under fodictment for trying to oribe the Cronin Jury, brought suit'in the circuit court to-day for an accounting, a dissolution of partuer- ship and the appointment of a receiver. - HORA OF LAWS, another conver- A PLE The Newberry Notion Goes fect in Missouri, Sr. Louis, Nov. 1.--What is known as the Newberry law, passed by the legislature last wiuter, went into effect to day, This law excludes from dram shops and saloons all gambling devices and forms of smusement, such as cards, dico boxes, pool and billiard tables, boxiug, atbletic, and musical performances, ete, ‘The police formally notified the saloons to- doy and to-morrow will make arrests for violations, Half o hundred other laws went into effect to-day, notably among them a law to prevent the introduction into the state of armed bodies by railvoad and other cor- porations to act as peaco offivers; 80 antitrust or pool law, the Aus tralian system of noting, a law 'empowerivg the stato commissioner of labor to_appoint boards of arbitration to adjust differences between employers and employes, and an suti-grain gawbliog law, which prohibits dealing in options unless it ba the intention of the dealers to actually have the grain bought or sold, bl Into Ef- - No Bloody Conflict.

A Plan Propossd to Pump Out Some of the Water. Nrew York, Nov. 1,—The annual American Cotton Oil trust meeting was held to-day. The president's report shows the profits for the year ended August 31 were $1,055,758, One of the certificate holders asked that the report be printed for their benefit, but Mr. Flagler said a great objection to its being made public was that it would put facts and figures into the possession of busi- ness rivals, which could not be permitted, E. H. Bonnor, one of the certificate hold- ers, wanted to0 know why the trustees had said in tho last circular the profits of the yeur woull be $2,600,000; where had the missing $1,000,000 gone ! Beforo ' Flaglor could explain another shareholder wanted to know if tho state ment in the circular that the cash and cash assots of the company were $7,000,000 was s0 §1,000,000 too much, Trustee Thomas then said the circular was issued on special reports from various prop- erties, but siuce then tho regular reports had come in, und the loss of $1,000,000 by shrink- go of values had beon made known. He said he found the men who had been ofoially conducting the trust's business had been buying a good deal of oil from rival compan- jos, and ho had been obliged to_ sell out at lower prices, Another thing contributing to the 1oss was the poor quality of last yea cotton seed crop. Thomas then spoke of the plan of merging the trust into u company, and said by the plan proposed there would be @ reduction in capital to $21,000,000, thus “pumping out sowme of the water.” Consider- able murmuring was heard, but finally & mo- tion was adopted for the appointment of a committee to ¢onsider plans and arrange- ments for merging the trust, the committee 10 revort at another m 120 QRS WAILING AMONG THE HEATHE A Missionary Takes a Fiyer in Wheat and Drops His itoll. CHicaco, Nov. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bek,|—A verdict for the defendant was rendered by a jury in Judge Clifford’s court to-day in the case of Samuel W. Wagner against James 13, Peabody, o broker on the board of trade. Wagner sought to recover $3,000 in money which hoe invested in grain through Peabody, as Wagner claimed, for the benefit of the heathen. The plaintiff was a foreign missionary enthusiast, who said he thought God woula forgive the means in con- sideration of the end sougnt, which was to secure more money than he had to spend for the reiief of the untutored suvages of the Congo. The $3,000 invested wus a loss, and Mr. Wagner made the claim that he had informed Mr. Peabody of his philanthropic motives. and that Mr, Peabody had not been impressed with Mr. Wagner's rcasons for taking a “flyer in wheat."’ It was agreed by counsel for Mr. Peabody that it made no difference what the purpose of the speculs tion_was, whether it was for the heathen or for Mr. Wagner's own use. The rules and practices were the same in all cases, and Mr, Wagner took his chances just lilke any- body else. Hesides, the counsel said, Mr. Peavody had only slr. Wagner's word for it that his motive was philanthropic and not selfish. ‘The jury was asked to compel Pe body to return the losses which the Huctua tions in prices entailed, but after being out several hours the jurors came to the conclu- sion that if Mr. Wagner had been successful he would not have “kicked,”” and they decid- ed agamst his novel claim e 18 HE A MURDERER? A Sea Capain's Daughter Suicides and Leaves a Strange Lotter. SAN Francisco, Nov. 1,—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—Ida Henrietta Schram, soventeen years old, dropped dead this atter- noon while visiting her mother at the out- skirts of the town. It was thought at first that death resulted from heart disease. An examination at the morgue, however,showed it to be a case of suicide. 1da has been living with her father and stepmother, and to-day visited her mother, who had been divorced. Her father is the captain of the ship Harvester, against whom the sailors on the last trip made charges of brutality at sea, which somehow or other were suppressed. Ida made three decp water voyages with her father. A letter in the deud girl’s pocket intimates that her futher is guilty of some awful crime. It is ad- dressed to her mother.. The writer says that for years her father had been beating her, and he and a friend had offered her §10,000 to say nothing about a cortain matter. Ida wtimates that if the affair was known to the police her father would be hanged, and that though she is abouv to die her mother must not tell. An autopsy showed that the unfortunafe girl was a virgin, and the inference is that the father is guilty of some crime at sea, possibly the murder of a sailor. He was placed by all the seamen at this port ason a par with Captain Sparks, of the notorious ship Gatherer, for cruelty. -~ MRS, MIKE M'DONALD. She Repents of Her Folly and Wishes to Keturn Home. Cnrcaco, Nov. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—Mrs, Mike McDonald, wife of the millionaire gambler of Chicago, who cre- ated a sensation some months ago by eloping to P’aris with her confessor, Father Moysant, has returned to this city and negotiations for a reconciliation with her husband and family are now in progress. For several days Mr. McDonald has been a dully visitor at his lawyer's office. Meanwhile Mrs. Me- Donald has maintained the utmost secrecy, her presence in Chicago being jealously guarded from the public. Indeed, to make ussurance doubly sure, it was given out to the New Yorlk papers that she had sailed for Europe unearly three weeks ago, and the statemeut was duly published, while at the same moment the lady was on her way to Chicago. The nogotiations for a reconcilia- tion have been carried on by a mutual friend ever since Mrs, McDonald came back, and there is every reason to believe they will be coucluded and Mrs. McDonald will ve back once more at the head of her husband’s household withiu a few duys.

LITTLE HOPE FOR GEN. MAHONE. He Has the Votes Bat Democrats Have the Guns—Bonded Appoints ments Deferred Till Congress Meets—Miscellaneous. 513 FOURTERNTIL STREET Wasnixarox, D. C,, Nov. 1. President Harrison intends to issue a proe- lamation, or two proclamations, to-morrow admitting North and South Dakota. There will be some delay about the admis- sion of Montana and Washington. North Datkota wiil come first in order. There has been some discussion ot the proclamation and speculation as to how the senators of these states will regulate the length of their terms, or rather how the senate wili dispose of the question. All of the several terms will bo settled by lottery and the various senators will have an equal chauce at the long and short terms. The senate is apportioned into three classes, dividea ps nearly eqnal as po sible, 80 thut two-thirds of the cntire senate will be elected for two years, At present there are twenty-five sonators whoso terms expire 1n 1891, twenty-five in 1893 and twenty- six in 1005. It will be seen that the short, or two and four year terms, have one senator less than the long or six year terms. According to all precedents the next state admitted will be given two and four year senators o as to make the class of 1801 and 1893 even with the class of 1895, Under the existing act und according to the proposed proclamation North Dakota will be first admitted and will fll the two short term classes of senators, providing the senators are here when the session begins. The two senators from North Dakota will draw lots for the two and four year terms or classes and will be thus assigned. Tho next state admitted will be South Dakota, and here the senators will draw lots, The first drawing will determine which of them shall secure the long term. Then the remaining senator will draw to seo whether ho secures the four or two year term. The next admitted, probably ~Washington, will draw first for the class left short by South Dakota's selection. The remaining senator will draw for the long class uot selected by his colleague. By this method it will not be possible for any two sonators from one state to receve terms of equal length and it will be in ac- cordance with the 4nethod adopted by the first senate in 178). \Whenever a new state has been admitted the senate has assigned senators according to the resolution of above dute. When Mipuesota was admitted 1 1858 a joint resolution was passed by the Minn sota legialature requesting the senato to ad- mit Henry M. Rice to the long term. The resolution was referred to the United States senate committee on judiciary, which re- ported back that in accordance with a reso- lution of May 14, 1780, and the constitution, the senators from Minnesota shall draw lots for the classes to which they shall be as. signed. It so huppened that Senator Shields drew the short term, and in choosing from the two remaining classes Senator Ryan se- cured the long term. Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, has said that he was willing to take the short term. This kind of an arrangement can't be recognized; the usual method of drawin, must determine which shall fill the long an which the short term. THE VIRGINIA ELECTION. A large number of Washington people will go into Virginia on Monday and remain to see the close of the campaign and see the balloting on Tuesday. Trouble ai the polls is expected in some localities, notable at Richmond, where it is understood the state is to be ordered out, ostensibly to “‘preserve the peace,” but really to frighten the nezroes. United States Marshal Dan Ransdell, Third Auditor W. H, Hart and Tae Bee correspondent will be in Richmond Monday night and Tuesday morning, returning here 1 the afternoon of that d Colonel W. W. Dudley said to Tz B correspondent this ufternoon that General Mahone would very likely be elected and, although the names of colored men were stricken from the regis- trary books by the hundred in some places, there would be enough votes cast to elect Mahone. Butin the very hotbed of fraud and intimdation little can be hoped for, and I do not believe Mahone will be the mnext governor of the state. The democrats are desperate in their determination to defeat him and to do it will resort to anything, even bloodshed. BONDED APPOINTMENTS DEFERRED. It was announced at the treasury to-day that thero will be no more appointments of bonded oficers until congress assembles, The period still intervening between ihis and the session is 80 very short that the secretary of the treasury believes 1t would not be worth while to make appomntments and have the appointees give bond, when as a matter of fact their appointments may not be con- firmed by the senate. It is recognized that a8 is usual with all administrations there are some apnointments iu the departments which may nct_ue confirmed by the senate and to whose ofiices tho president will probably nominate new o ‘I'his determination to make no wore bouded appointments was reached at a recent cabinet meoting and the line of policy announced this morning at the treasury was later in the day also u knowledged in the postoffice department, and, except under circumstances absolutely requiring immediate action, there will be no more important avpointents in either the treasury or the postoffice until congress meets. Wasmixatox Buneau Tre Ovyma Bee, } GOING HOME TO YOT Nearly every employe in the executive de- partments who cun vote in either of the states of Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, New York or New Jersey, will leave Washington between to-morrow and unday night for the purpose of exercising his franchise. The tralus to-morrow night will beur away hundreds of rapublicans and dem- ocrats, for the latver are notdeprived of their privilege now. Insome of the depart- ments_the employes find a diffculty n the way of obtaining leaves of absence. This is caused by a decision of Attorney General Garland, which was made February 24, 1856, nd which has been reissued by Attorney Jeneral Miller. The decision ts that when amember has had during the year a leave of ubsence of thirty days on account of sick- ness ho is not entitled to any further leave during thut year with pay, but if 1t happens that ho has enjoyed the regular annual leave of thirty days then he can have leave of ab- sence on account of sickness forany length of time the head of the department may de- termine to allow, 1t is claimed that this decision works an injustice,as it deprives an employe of his regular anuual leave in the event that he should happen to be tuken sick before the 'eave I8 granted. In the interior department the rule there is that each em- ploye is entitied to a regular avnual leave of thirty days If he should happen to be sick durisg any time in the year the absence is not churged to the regulur leave, but a separate accouut is kept, A POPULAR PROMOTION. The many friends in Washington of Cham. bers H. McKibben, of Omaha, are congratu- lating bim upon s recent and deserved pro- motion on the ofiicial list of the Union Pacitic railroud. All of the local newspapers speak in complimentary terms of Mr. McKibben elevatioun. The following from the editorial columns of to-day’s Post ndicates the gen- eral expression “Among the now general oficers of the Union Pacific who enter upon their dutics 10 day is Mr. Coumbers . Mclfibben, 4 sou of General David B. McKibben, of this city, wud nephew of Geueral Joseph U, McKibben, who assumes the highly résponsible position of goneral purchasing agent of the road, He 18 a young man of oxtraardindry business promise wnd his rise in the sorvice of the company hias been continudus and rapid.” MISOELLANEOUS, Omaha is reaping o harvest of advertising from the recont visit of the international American congress, Nearly all of the lead- ing ecastern papors have spoken in their news or editorial colunins of the handsome entertainment affordéd the visitors by tho people of Omaha and in the most compli- mentary terms they refer to the city's growth, wealth, enterprise and bright fu- ture. This is an era of privato secretarics. Not only do all public offcials of note have Drivato secretaries, but all busy private in dividuals, as well, ' Even the wives of publi men are securing the services of stenograph- era. Mrs, Levi P, Morton has engaged the services of Miss Nellie Hunt as private sec- rotary. Miss Huntis tho daughter of G fleld’s serctary of the navy and Arthur minister to Russin, who died at the latter Post. She is a very charming vocalist and a general favorite. Miss Hunt held the posi- tion of private secretary to Mrs. Whitnoy. Secrotary Noble to-day rendered a decision in a well known lowa Indian depredation claim. It is that of Joseph Leonia, of Wood- bury county, Towa, amounting to $3,400. The deprodation is allezed to have been commit- ted in 1855 by the Sioux. The secretary finds that the claimant lost proporty to the amount of 1,000, but his claim was not presented within the time required by law, and ivisdis- allowed. It must go to congress. Senator G, C. Moody, of South Dakota, and his privata secretary, Robert C. Hayes, rived last evening and registered at the Shbitt. Senator Moody and Congressmun Gifford called upon President Hurrison to- day in_referenco to the proclamations to admit North and South Dakota and the ap- vointment of Judgo A. J. Idgerton as United States district judge for South Dakota, The president to-day appointed Jerome A, Watrous, of Wisconsin, collector of cus- toms for the district of Milwaukeo, The sccretary of the navy to-day awarded Harrison Loring, of Boston, the contract for constructing eruiser No. 11, of 2,000 tons displacement, for §674,000, to be completed in two and a half years 1fom to-day. Secretary Proctor will renow tha recom- mendation of his predeceesors in his forth- coming annual report that congress provide for an assistant secretary of war, The de- partment is ono of the larest of the govern- ment and at present whenever the secretary leaves the city the president designates the acting secretary. It thus happens in the latter case that some officers of the army are required to report to subordinates,” and among them there is a feelng that they would rather have a civilian in the oftice. The cruiser Charleston has been formally accopted by Secretary Tracy. PERRY S, HeTR e THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. A Favored Nation Admonished to Re- member the Giver of Good. WasniNatoN, Nov. 1—The following Thanksgiving proclamation was issued by the president this ovening: A highly favored people mindful of their dependence on the bounty of Divine Provi- dence should seek a fitting oceasion to testify their gratitude and ascrive praise to Him who is the author of their many blessings, It behooves them to ook backward with thankful hearts over the past year and to biess God for His infinite mercy and His vouchsafing to our land of enduring peace, o our people freedom from pestilence and famine, to our husbandrien abundant har- ve_x;ts and to their labor recompense for their toil.

HIS Talk of Driving the Quack From the Neighborhood — The Beatrice Whisky Cases — Other Nebraska News. A Medical Nevon, Neb., Nov. 1.—[Speclal to Tre BEE.|—About two years ago Dr. Arthur E. Conery located here, opened an office and be- gan the practice, or rather the mal-practice, of medicine, aftor having duly registered with the county clerk, His stock of trade turns outto have been perfect innocence ot even the rudiments of the profession, un- limited cheek, and his “taking wi ' and with these hie succeaded in duping numbers of the affiicted 1n the neizhborhood. Lately his antics have attracted public attention and the atmosphere is becoming rather warm for him. Iv his sworn_statement he claims to have practiced in New York City and at numerous other points throughout the country and to hav auated from tho Bennett Medical college of Chicago in 1883, Dr. Milton Jay, the doan of this institution, makes oath that no such man ever entered the college, attended lectures or graduated. Consequently he has perjured himself and his diploma is a fraud. Competeut testimony is also fortheoming that Lis career in lowa towns was enthusiastically closed by the townsmen. Administering opium for a bowel difticulty in such quantities that the patient was saved from possible death by antidotes adminis- tered by other physicians; treating cases of diphtheria in large family of children of whomn seven died under his treatment, while refusing to call counsel, and insisting that he would pull them through, are among the cases reported. Securing the confidence of those hopelessly and incurably diseased with bromises of a cure is reported as among his methods. In the case of Mr. Turner, of Ewing, suf- fering with consumption, ' he cheerfully promised u cure and in two hours after his departure the patient died. Ho hus also, according to his own story, treated patients for an affection of the “'sci- atic nerve of the eye,” “‘erysipelas of the bowels” and ‘‘catarrh of the hana,” an ex- Fraund. perience which has uever fallen to the lot of mortal before. JFrom all uccounts he would make a good running mate for Omaha's noto ious quack, Dr. Powell Reeves, and the chances are that his fate will be similar.

Nov. L.—[Special Tol Tk 13ge.] —Chairman Abbott, of the West= ern States Passenger association, to-dag sent out a circular lottor to members of his association containing the following from Judgo Cooley, chawman of the inter-state commerce commission: ‘Object lessons are upt to bo the most Im. pressive teachiors, and what 1s taught theroby 18 most cortain to bo remembered and acted upon. Idesire to call your atten- tion aud through you the attention of your associates to the question whother the *raile ronds of tho country are nov now giving the public an objoct lesson which i3 certain to impress the public mind that regular passen- ger rates aro altogether too high. In imposing such ra tos it s of courso assumed that the rates are prescribed as a reasonablo compensation for the service actually-performed for those who are to pay them. But has not the pub- lic abundant reason for believing that con- sideravle numbers of persous are all the while being improperly carried free, the cost of their carriage tending necessavily to keen up tne usual rates charged to those who pay ‘This, however, is not the part of the lesson to which I wish most particularly to direct attention now. The extraordinarty manner in whicn the privilege to give excursion rutes is_abused i8 a much greater wrong o those who pay the customary rates than is oven the proper free transportation. ‘That privilege might bo exercised as the law contem- plates without wronging any one, be cause 1t would tend to create & business for special oceasions that would mot otherwise exist, and the cost of which would be moro than mot by the returns. i3ut that it is improperly exer- cised when the excursion rates only tend to cut the regular rates, is unguestionable. Morcover, you can not fail to kzow that ex- cursion tickets in great quantities are issued with an undevstanding, expressed or impliod, that the condition of 185ue shall not be en: forced aud that they, or at least the return part thereof, may be used instead of regular tickets, the consequence being that upon the same trains there are persons at all times to be found, some of whom have paid for their Creaeo, an to 8, though neither in law or morals is there reason for auy aifference. The publio secs that, us meidentul to this method of con- ducting the business offiransporting persons by rail, the carriers furnish support and the opportlnity for large profits to a consider- ablo nuwmber of persons in all sections of the country in a business that ought not to exist at ull—the business known as that of ticket roker or scalper. Sometimes theso pers sons aro made use of directly as n means of cutting rates, more often indirectly, whereby the samo end'is accomplished. 13ut whether used diroctly or indivectly, the effect on the traveling public is the same—the cost of sup- vorting them and their business falls upon tho public and their profits tend to kecp rates excessi In view of these facts the following ques- tions naturally arise: 1. When tho railrond companies thus dis- tingtly give the public to understand that their regular rates ure moro then a fair remusecration for the services performed for those +who pay thew, why stould ot the fact bo stated with cqual distinciuess by the comuiission in its oficial communication . 217 persons charged the regular rates should complain of them as excessive, and bring out the fucts abovo stated as proof, how would the railrond companies undertake to show that_complaint to be not well taken § Yery respectfully yours, TnoMas M. CooLry, Chairman.” ie above remarkable letter has called ont more comment than any yet issued by.Chairs man Cooley in his ofticial capacitn. 1 the main the comments are to the effect that the commission is right in stirring up the un. mitigated evil referred to in Judge Cooloy's letter. It has put a continued slight on the commission, and of which Chairman Cooley has often spoken fu vain. Adverse com- ments are as thick as the favorable ones, somo especially savage outbursts being heard n regard to the commission attending to its own purposely delayed business.
