POLICE HAVE A NEW CLLE[THEY TURN DOWN THE OFFER May Bosn Be Abh to Bolve Bartholin Mystory at Ohioago. FRIEND OF ACCUSED MAN IN CUSTODY Edward Con Held as eesnory After the Faet is to Be Put Through th Sweating Proce n Ae- and CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—Developments today 1o the Bartholin-Mitchell murder mystery have led the police to believe they are nearer the solution of the problem that has been puzzling them for over a week than ever before. Edward Counselman, the intimate friend of William J. Bartholin who was held for possible knowledge of the crime, was taken before Justice Quinn today and held for ten days in bonds of $10,000, charged with betng accessory after the fact in the mur- ders of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs. Anne Bartholin. Counselman admitted he had met Baftholin and that Bartholin said he was In trouble over Minnle Mitchell. The most damaging testimony as to Coun- seiman’s possible guilty knowledge of the murders of the two women came from a new witness whom the police found today— W. M. Allen, a fellow workman of Coun- selman’s. Allen sald that Counselman had told him repeatedly that he knew a great deal about the trouble Bartholin was in. When Allen suggested that Counselman tell the police what he knew the latter sald he would do no such thing, that Bar- tholin was his friend and that he was too shrewd for tho police. Allen sald that Counselman even expressed the opinion that Bartholin bad easily had time to reach the seaboard. Allen sald that Counselman expressed the greatest anxiety over the case as it devel- oped In the newspapers and that frequently Counselman would walk from the suburb ot Harvey, where the two men worked, as far as Kensington, to secure the papers. For three days Counselman did not do any work because of mervousness. The police have the testimony of another witnees, who 1s positive he saw Counselman and Bartholin togother on August 7, the day the body of Minnie Mitchell was found. It is the purpose of the police to put Counselman through the sweating ordeal teday, and they say they expect valuable reslts. Counselman's wife begged him repeatedly to tell the police what he knew, but so far Counselman has been obdurate. A note frém Bartholin to Counselman asking for money and saying that the writer was in trouble {s held by the pol It was this note which Counselman had tried to secure from his wife by choking her that led to his arrest. The postponed Inquest over the body of Minnie Mitchell will be resumed today. It is probable that a verdict will be re- turned with recommendations that the men now in custody be held to the grand jury. MOROS RENEWING ATTACKS Outposts and Pack Trains of Amer- feans Suffering from Hara ing of This Tribe. MANILA, Aug. 18.—The Moros on Min- danao are renewing their attacks upon the outposts and pack trains of the Amerjcan column at Lake Lanao, which is under the command of Captain J. J. Pershing, of the Fitteenth cavalry. The Americans have su cessfully repulsed the Moro attacks and have suff no A of the American fo; cdl on port action agdinst ‘the Moros to nécessary and ask permission - to move against Bacolod 'and other strong- holds of the hostile Mohammedans. There are about 2,000 American soldiers on Min- danao avallable for the desired aggr: ve move. It is belleved that this is suMcient to defeat the Moros, though it would pos bly be necessary to strengthen their base before undertaking the movément. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—A cable dis- patch has been recelved from General Chaf- fee stating that in his judgment an active campalgn against the Moros in Mindanao ‘Was necessary in order to curb the oppo tion that has been growing against United States authority. The dispatch was con. sidered of sufficient importance to be re- ::lted to President Roosevelt at Oyster y. General Chaffee has been directed to use his own discretion in the matter and will no doubt engage in an aggressive move- ment agalnst the insurgent Moros. Some time before Secretary Root left Washington the Moro eituation was under considera- tion, and from a dispatch then at hand the secretary was of the opinion that the Moros must be dealt with severely before they would respect the authority of the United States. General Chaffee is now in Mindanao, hav- ing left Manila some days ago. If the cam- paign should continue for some time he no doubt will remain {n the Pbilippines instead of leaying on September 30, as. he had planned. It is understood a* the war de- partment that General Chaffee has sufficient troops to make an active campaign.

DENVER, Colo., Aug. 17.—~Two important features today of the fight for control of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company were the rejection by the Osgood faction of a profter of ccmpromise from the Gates' fac- tion and the filing of the answer to the Gates' suit for an Injunction against the officers In the federal court A meeting of the board of directors was to have been held today, ‘but fio quorum wi present, all but two 'of the directo who are supporting John ©.

Kebler, president of the company, in whose office the directors favorable to Gates had as- sembled, to g0 to the ofce of Mr. Osgood, who 1s chairman of the board of directors, and ask him to attend the meeting, in order compromise might be discussed. Mr. Osgood refused to accept the invitation and sald that he would not liten to any compfomise. Mr. Gates seemed to be net« tled at the turn affairs had taken, and stated later that he would continue the fight |naennlmy and was sure to gain con- trol. The answer flled in the fedleral court de- nies that the court has juriediotion, alleg- ing that the sum Involved Is ‘less then $2,000, and deciarés that the suit ‘was im- properly brought. It alleges that in the démands made by the different persons to see the books of the company mo proper evidence was in- troduced to show that they were the real owners of the stock which they purposed to hold. It states that no book had been prepared showing the names of persons who hold the stock but that the secretary was instructed at a recent meeting to prepare such a book and that he s doing |80 with all possible speed. The answer alleges that Gates does not hold the num- ber of proxies that he claims to hold, and that Osgood bas a majority of the votes. In an affidavit Mr. Osgood atates that he has been asked by John W. Gates, Charles M. Schwab and others to dispose of the company to the steel trust and that-the efforts to depose him followed his refusal.

The question arose In connection with a report of the committee on salaries, set- ting forth, in substance, that the commit- tee Was of the opinlon that the amounts allowed by the rules for the salaries of clerks in the offices of the superintendent of instructlon, the secretary of the board and the principal of the High school were not sufficlent to get the needed help In those offices, and, while the committee would not recommend at this time any change in the rules, it would recommend that the superintendent and secretary be allowed such additional sums for clerk hire, respectively, as taken In connection with the amounts now pald would make the total in each instance $80; and that the principal of the High school be allowed an additional sum to make the total amount to be paid in his office $70. Barnard Warms Up. When this report was presented Presi- dent Barnard declared that he considered the plan which it proposed to be merely “beating the devil about the stump,” as its adoption would be practically a sus- pension of the rules. Robert /Smith took the floor to protest against the remarks of the chair, which he declared to be in bad taste since no question had been raised on the floor. He advocated the adoption of the report as a perfectly proper manner of correcting what he belleved to be an Injustice which had been done in the rules fixing salaries. Mr. Wood questioned the privilege of the chair to enter upon discussion of a measure before the house when his dis- cussion of that question might prejudice him in ruling. Mr. Howard sald that the evident pur- pose of the report was to avold a suspen- sion of the rules, and as far as he could seo no attempt had been made to disguise that fact. He was in fawor of the adop- tion of the report. Mr. McIntosh thought that if the board belleved the salaries of the young women in question to be Insufficient the proper course would be to suspend the rules and increase the salaries in the regular way. Wood Charges Diserimination, Mr. Wood suggested that the president had discriminated in his rulings upon en- tore e rules and had even voted to expend money In the manner now pro- posed. He argued that the board could expend the funds of the board in any man- ner it should deem proper by a majority vote. After some further discussion the chalr ruled the report out of order and Mr. Wood appealed from the decision, which was upheld by a vote of five ayes and seven nays. A motion to suspend the rules wat then lost by a vote of 7 to 5. A substitute resolution by Mr. McIntosh to fix the salaries of the clerks in the of- fices of the superintendent of {mstruction, thi rétiry ‘of the board and the princi- pal ‘of the kigh school was lost. President Barnard entered into further discussion of the matter and Robert Smith questioned his right to discuss a measure from the chair, whereupon the presfdent declared it to be an outrage that a mem- ber of the board should eo question the president’s right. A second motlon to put the previous question was ruled out by the chair, and on an appeal this action was overruled by a vote of 8 to 3. Report Finally Adopted. The question on the adoption of the re- port was them put by the secretary and carried by a vote of 8 to 3, the president not voting. A resolution by Mr. Wood providing that inasmuch as the board had found it would have §9,000 more at its disposal than was supposed, the salaries of employes should be restored to their former figures was re- ferred to the committee on salaries On recommendation of the committee on kindergartens it was determined that Misses Edith Ewers, Mary Chapman and Helén Bdwards, having fulfilled the re- quirements, should be placed upon the list of assigned teachers to be used Ld their services may be needed. The high school committee was authorized to employ W. W. Roberts or Jasper Robert- son as teacher in charge of the commercial work at the high school at a salary not to exceed §1,100 per year. On recommendation of the committee on heating and ventilating the following ap- pointments were made: engineer at the high school, at a salary o( $85 per month; Phil Foren, fireman at the high school at a salary of $60 per month; Mrs. Cruse, present janitress at the Mon. mouth Park school, to be jenitress at the high school gymnasium at a salary of $40 per month; and Mrs. Emma Emerson to be janitress at the Monmouth Park school. A warrant was authorized in favor of A. Schall & Co. In the sum of $191.10 as payment in full of all clalms for labor per- formed and material furnished for the new high school. Claims and expense $4,430.07 were allowed. On recommendation of the judiclary com- mittee the officers of the board were authorized to sign contracts for the year with Carl B. Herring, attorney; E. F. Galnes, custodian; and Duncan Finlayson, superintendent of bulldings. By ‘recommendation of the special com- mittee on the Monmouth Park school the secretary was instructed to inform the agent for the five additional lots which it is intended to purchase that the board ls willing to pay $1,750 for that property. On recommendation of the committee on buildings and property the bill of the boller inspector in the eum of $130 for inspec- tion of all the bollers in the school bulld- ings was allowed.
