He named the men who, with Power as plain- tiff, and Captain Henry Stern as go-be- tween, he said, had hoped to conceal their connection with the litigation and keep thelr identity hidden. Those he named were: ‘W. Bourke Cockran, Camille Weldenfeld, H. Content & Co. and Edwin R. Thomas, of the firm of Thomas & Post, Wall street bankers and brokers. The story of Power's wandering came out, and a plan to send him to Burope was re- vealed, was his quasi connection with the sult at issue. Lamb sald that he wi practically forced by the pedple back of him to send Power away and that he pald the expenses of his trip to West Hurley and to Montreal. Weldenfeld. Cockran and other sponsors of the Power suit, Mr. Lamb declared, fearéed that Power would be broken down as a witness and would “give away the people behind it.” Cockran was telephoned to for advice in his presence. Lamb declared he was one of the persons for whom Lamb was given to belleve’ hs ‘was acting in pushing the suft and he was " |one of those who advised Power to stay out of the court’s jurisdiction and was ready to supply him with funds to enable him to do so. Mr. Lamb told the story readily, released, as he said he considered himself, by the actlon of his clients in re- pudiating him as their counsel. Power's Explanation. Peter Power himself was on the stand at the afternoon session. He said to the best of his belief he had received the 100 shares of stock in payment for the use of his name. That was his sole interest in the suit. He had been Instructed that the subpoena ser- vice was bad and had left New York City with that understanding. In a manner his testimony was corroborative of that given by Lawyer Lamb regarding the connection of Messrs. Cockran and Weidenfeld with the suit. W. Bourke Cockran in an interview to- night characterized all the testimony rela- tive to him as false in every detall. Mr. Lamb said he made a rough draft of the complaint in the Power suit on a rafl- way traln. He promised to produce a copy of the dratt later. “You told us Mr. Cockran would make an important witness,” sald Mr. Guthrie. “I am quite certain that Mr. Cockran knew all about these matters and was finan- clally interested. He was present at the conferences in Mr. Weldenfeld's office, and I know Mr. Weldenteld would take no steps without proval.” “DId Mr. Weldenfeld's partner, Thomas W. Lawson, have any Interest in this Mti- gation?” asked counsel. “I think not. I am sure not.” Mr. Lamb also said David Lamar had had o interest in the sults. Tell us about the $750 you received from Mr. Weldenteld," Mr. Guthrie continued. Power be sent away. That was when the first attempt wad made to serve Power. He was afrald Power would break down and glve away secrets. Mr. Chandler suggested that Power b nt to Burope. On July 27 Captain Stern came to my apartments and insisted that Power be shipped to Mon- treal at once. I hesitated. I did not know how I would stand with Power out of my control, and again I told Captain Stern 1 @id not belleve we had money enough to send him to ada, and Captain Stern telephoned to his housekeepers, but they had none. Had Consulted Cleveland. “Atter Power was served Mr. Chandler came to my office and told me the service was bad and that we could successtully de- fend him from the charge of contempt. I was the more-easily convinced that he was right because I knew he had consulted with Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Cockran. Mr. Chandler told me Mr. Cockran sald Power need not appear in court in person. Then he sald that Mr. Cockran, a keen judge of human nature and public opinion, had said, ‘If they push that boy too hard they will create a revulsion of public opinfon.’ ™ Mr. Lamb sald Power agreed to go to West Hurley. He wanted to get married anyway and Lamb told Mr. Chandler money would be needed. Chandler sald he had a check for $500, and when Lamb sald at least $760 would be necessary Mr. Chandler told him Weldenfeld would give another check in the morning. Of the 3760 about $250 had gone to Power. ““Who was to pay Power’s expenses and support him if he went to Europe r. Chandler said of course ‘they’ would pay the expenses. In understood ‘they’ meant Mr. Weidenfeld, Bourke Cockran and Mr. Thom: Asked about his financial dealings with Weldenteld, Mr. Lamb sald Weldenfeld ad- vanced him $3,000 on account of fees held up in the Consolidated Gas matter and held bis demand note for that amount. He sald he holds a letter from Mr. Weidenfeld, however, that shows the nature of the transaction. Counsel had further questions to ask and & recess was taken with the understanding that Power would be called during the aft- ernoon. Pow that he @rst met Mr. Lamb in 1900, and that he began the study of law in Lamb's office in April of that year. He was to receive $30 a week salary. “Did you r own any stock in the Northern Pacific Railroad company? ed Mr. Kellogg, who conducted iie examina- tion. “Mr. Lamb told me Mr. Weldenfeld would carry 100 shares of the stock for anyone who would bring suit. The stock was as- signed to me.” Power sald he never saw Mr. Weidenteld. All he knew of him was that Mr. Lamb told him the stock was his. That was in May of last year. He understood he was to pose as plaintiff, but he did mot know until six months later what was the object of the suit. He understood Mr. Welden- feld was to bring the suit and pay the ex- penses. All the information he had was from Mr. Lamb, To & direct question Power sald he had called Bourke Cockran on the telephone forty or fifty times during the different times Mr. Chandler was in consultation with Mr. Lamb. After Power denled that he had ever acted as an automoblle chaffeur to any- body, his examination was ended. The hearing will be resumed next Tuesday. Mr. Lamb sald he would make application of Mr. Lamb and Mr. Power in connection with the Northern Pacific merger suit, ex- cept to say that it is entircly false, so far as I am concerned. All I know about the matter is what I have read in the papeérs. 1 was in mo way responsible for the suit being undertaken, 1 have had no relation with Mr. Lamb for at least a year, and tive to this matter. I have fo my fame has been brought into the matter and kpgw of no reason why Mr. Lamb should have brought it in.

He sald that the foreigners were on the streets discharging firearms and that he feared an -attack on the nomunion firemen and engineers was contemplated. The governor's troop was dispatched to the place, but the turbulence of the crowd had subsided somewhat in the meantime and when the cavalry arrived on the scene there was comparatively quiet. An investigation of the aftair showed that the Hungarians had been celebrating a christening and that on their way to their homes the men were giving vent to their en- thusiasm by yelling and shooting oft re- volvers. The authoritles are of the bellef, how- ever, that an attack on the nonunion work- men was averted by tha oresence of the cavalry today. MONTGOMERY, W.

Gates at midnight, were sent to the he quarters of the company shortly before the time for the dnnual meeting, but no action was taken by the board, as there was no mesting thereof. It is the opinion of attorneys that under the law of Colorado the four men named Are now out, as it ie not necessary for any further action to be taken on the resigna. tions. The movement was made in order that Gates and his fri s & better strategic position in the great fight under way to secure possession of the mani ment of the company.

NEIGHBOR WOMAN TELLS WEIRD TALE Mitehel) CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—The coroner’s jury at the inquest today over the body of Mrs. Anne Bartholin brought in a verdict recom- mending that her son, Willlam Bartholin, be arrested and held as principal for her murder, and that Oscar Thompson and Bd- ward Counselman, who are under arrest, accused of\ complicity In the murder of Minnte Mitchell, be held to the grand jury a8 accessories to the crime. The jury found that Mrs. BarthoMn came to her death on or about July 7, death being due to stran- gulation. During the inquest, Mrs. Mary Brown, a former nelghbor of Mrs. Bartholin, testified that the old lady was suspicious and lived in deadly fear of her son. According to Mrs. Brown's testimony, Mrs. Bartholin in a conversation a few daye before her death, Soa SWIITS Pride Good in hard water and good in soft water. - Made by Swift & Company bad told the witness that young Bartholin but a beast and that the y would regret the day they allowed Minnie Mitchell to have anything to do with him. Mrs. Bartholln in relating CONGRESS GOES TO SEATTLE her troubles declared that Bartholln was a dissipated ne'er-do-well, and that she be- p him capable of imost any crime. Robert Mitchell, brother of the supposed murdered girl, said today that he firmly belleved that neither Oscar Thompson nor “0ld Dad” Olaffey was reaponsible for his ster’s death. Efforts to have him disinter the body met with only partial succes He sald while he hqd not seen the face -of the dead, he still felt that the body was that of his siater. He said, howsver, that to relieve all doubts he may exhume the holin Called Yesterday. ding tip today on the missing Wil- llam Bartholin came from a butcher. in South Chicago, who said the man had en- tered his shop this morning and had asked for matches. Dgubtful identity will be the burden of the defense of Oscar Thompeon, John Claf- tey and Edward Counselman, who were held yestérday to answer for the supposed Mitchell crime. The first two already stood as principal and accessory In the murder of Mrs. Bartholin. As yet nothing definite has been heard of the whereabouts of Willlam J. Bartholin, Much doubt exi however, as to whether Miss Mitchell is dead. The early testimony today pertained largely to the finding of the body of Mrs. Bartholin by newspaper men. Reporters who searched the basement of the Calumet avenue house told again the story of dig- ging up the body, of ealling in Dr. Noel to establish its identity afid of theJater idefi- tification by an acquaintance of Mrs. Bartholin. Some interest was when the inguest was temporarily sus- pended in order that the Mitchell family might produce a witness. The police did not know who the witness would be. A new clue to the possible solution of the Minnie Mitchell case was found today, when it was learned that a man resembling Counselman had called upon Dr. J. L. Wil- gus om "ugust 11, with a young woman, supposed to be Minnie Mitchell. Dr. Wil- gus said the man wanted him to take the young woman as a patlent, but he.refused.

This morning the body of a girl was found upon the beach in Roger's park, the northern limits of the city. It was at first supposed to be that of Minmie Mitchell, but the description does not tally with that of the Mitchell girl. The body may be that of Nellle Hughes, Who disappeared a week or ten days ago trom the deck of City of Grand Raplds, near Waukegan. The pollce are Investi- gatin The mew witness discovered by Robert Mitchell {s Mrs. J. Brown, a friend of Mrs. Bartholin. Her daughter, Lottle Brown, was intimate with Minnie Mitchell. During the morning Milton L. R. Ed- wards, a former roomer of Mrs. Bartholin, went on the stand and told of his fears after Mre. Bartholin had disappeared, of how Oscar Thompson came {ato his room one night in a suspiclous manner and of his own subsequent departure through fear of being murdered had gone to Omaha. Lieutenant Backus told of an interview with Oscar Thompson, in which the latter had told him that Willlam Baftholin had sent word to Thompson that his mother had gone to Milwaukee. Testimony in the afternoon was largely routine and a repetition of stories told to the police in the past fortnight. Mrs Brown testified that Bartholin tre- quently quarreled with his mother and struck her. She sald Mrs. Bartholin hed a considerable amount of money just be- fore she disappesred. Later in the day the coromer’s jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Bartholin came to her death on July 5 from strangulation and recommended that Osear Thompson (who is already held as rincipal in the murder) and Edward Coun selman be held to the grand jury until dis- charged by due process of law. The jury further recommended releasing John Claf- thi® case and that Willlam Bartholin PREPARE TO TAP THE PLATTE Government Surveyors Are Busy om & Line for Ditch to Pawnee Reservoir, STERLING, Colo.,, Aug. 21.—A large corps of government surveyors today be- ditch to carry water from the Platte river to the great Pawnee reservoir, which, it 1s believed, the government will bulld. 1t will require from two to three weeks to complete the survey and it is estimated the cost of the ditch will be fully $1,000,- 000.

Mr. Eustis argued that the printed proceedings of the congress should not be made the:vehicle for disseminating litera- ture of this class, which, he jerted, did not represent the views of the majority of the delegates.. A number of other delegates warmly supported Mr. Eustis, while others as warmly opposed him. Those opposed took the ground that Mr. Thurber, having been invited to address the congress, was entitled as a matter of courtesy to have his remarks embodied in After much 4 the prikited procsedings. cussion, which at times became rather per- declaring its purpose accomplished, as the on ‘'upom its merits would bodied in the minutes of the congres in this way the public would be able to a1d ot favor so-ealled tru A Bumber of important papers were pre- sented at the morning and evening sessions, one of the most interesting being Prof. J.

Atter some preliminary routine business today the congress took up the special order fixed ‘late yesterday and William Henry Rustis of Minneapolis opened the discussion 1n support of his motion to ex- punge from the records of the congress the | address ot F..B. Thurber of New York, who bad declared that there was no such thing as & meat trust. He charged that the so-called trust was seeking to use this commercial congress for its own ends. He did not think the money of this organization should be spent to cir- culate the specious arguments of any trust. W. H. Torbett of Dubuque followed on the same side, As also did Mr. Zachary of Loulstana, A. C. Lewla of Oklahoma thought the ad- dress should be printed for the sake of completeness of récord, but that such pub lication did not commit the congress to the ideas of Mr. Thurber. He gsued for cour- tesy to the speakers of the congress and in- ted that the opinions of the congress should be voiced through the resolutio and. that none should fear the addresses here deliyered. Rufus A. Hoyt of Mingesots supported the resolution to expunge. Gives His Honest Views. Mr. Thurber of New York replied to Mr. Eustls, explaining that he was here as one intérested in objects of this congress. He sald that he was personally interested in cattle raising and his paper was intended to Eive his honest views on the meat in- dustry. He argued for free speech, Insist- ing that the opinion of the congress should be expressed by the resolutions and that no member's opinion ought to be suppressed. E. R, Moses of Kansas City argued for thought, asserting that that now before the congress had never before been presented in the entire history of the organization. Tom Richardson of New Orleans drew the Qistinction that the speeches are part of the proceedings of the congress, but were not the opinions of the congress. Walter Gresham of Texas opposed the resolution.
