If out of the muss and the mire the shipbuilding company can be rehabill- tated, that is what I want to see done. I have no financial interest, but I feel that it will help me." “Did you say anything to Mr. about his liability in this matter?” Mr. Utermeyer. “No, 1 dig not.” is & legal question and about it.

GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW Egg Market Depends Entirely Weather—Butter Weaker—Bass on the Market. The egg market all depends on the weather, so say the hens. Ordinary stock now brings an 18-cent wholesale figure and fancy eggs are 2 cents. If the sky con- | tinues blue and the weather of no brisker degree the hens, and especlally the pullets, are going to continue on this lay until much later in the season and the price of eggs will, under those conditions, go down. No hen 18 going to work in damp, cold weather, however, 8o it is strictly a weather mar- | ket | as there are only about six or eight dozen of ‘them in a whole case The butter market s going in for a tonic. | It is weaker. The report comes from New York that there has been a drop of 13 cents lately, the difficulty being the very heavy deliveries, over 14,000 packages in one day. As New York sets the fashion for the.local market, there is just now little demand for the low grade butter. Creameries are marked for 71 cents, dairies, in’individual tubs, 15 to 17 cents and the plain butter Just 13 cents.

GOVERNMENT SPRINGS BIG SURPRISE Stemographer Who Was Concealed i Room When One Defendant Made Wtement to Superior Reads Record of Interview, NATI, 0O, Oct. l4.—Spanding room was in demand in the United States district court room on the second day of tha trial of Miller and Johns for conspiracy to extort a bribe in connection with the recently exposed postal frauds. Nine wit- nesses were examined today arld the gov- ernment has four more to call, that the defense will not begin until the after- noon of the third day and the case may not go to the jury until the last of the week. Much interest is being taken in the anticipated appearance of the de- fendants on the witness stan: Court was In session today from 9 a. m. until after 6 p. m. The principal witnesses were Ryan and the officials from Washing- ton. The defense was not taken by surprise until in the afternoon, when the steno- graphic 125orts of the private secretaries of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow and of General Robb of inter- views with Miller were Introduced as evidence. Joseph T. Watson, secretary and ste- nographer to the fourth assistant postmas- ter general, testified to being coricealed in the office while General Robb and Cbief Inspector Cochran had their first intetmlew with Miller about the report of postofice inspectors regarding the decisions in the Ryan case and the discovery of his rela- tions with Johns. He then read from his original stenographic notes all that was sald during the two hours and more that these officials were thus questioning Miller regarding the case. It required one hour and a half for him to read tho notes, which he went over minutely. The difference of an hour in time was accounted for by the witness because of the hesitation of Miller at times during the interview. “'he sensational appearance of Watson on the stand was followed soon afterward with Charles H. Robb, assistant attorney general for the Postoffice department, being called and he produced a copy of the transcribed stenographic notes of his secretary, Mr. Tullis, of another long interview with Mil- ler when the same partles were present. At the first meeting of Miller with Robb and Cochran the defendant did not know that a stenographer was concealed in the room, as he did in the Jast case, when he made an equally lengthy statement and signed the report made by Mr. Tullis. Much Detective Work, The extent of the detective work that has been done In these cases by the government was never disclosed untll during the after- noon session, when verbatim reports of these Interviews of Miller were submitted in evidence, notwithstanding the objection and exception of counsel for the defense. Tt is now known that more of the detective work of the government will be disclosed tomorrow, when postoffice inspectors are to take the stand. When the trial was resumed today the direct examination of Ryan was still in progress. At the adjournment of cburt last night Judge Thompson took under advise- ment the objection of counsel to Ryan testitying to what Johns said to him about what Miller may have sald to Johns con- cerning future difficulties. ‘When court convened today Judge Thomp#on decided that a prima facie case had been sufficiently made out to perralt the testimony of Ryan to be admitted, Counsel for the defense excepted to the ruling and the examination of Ryan by the government counsel were resumed, while Ryan proceeded to repeat In dftain a conversation between Johns and himself in a room at a Terre Haute hotel, during which the witness claimed to have made a contract with Johns for $4.500 for favorable ruling from Miller. Counsel for the defendants interposed frequent objections, which were overruled by Judge Thompson. Ryan also testified that all his future transactions were with Johns as the middle man up to last Decem- ber, when Johns came to Cincinnati and they met in a room at the Gibson house, where Ryan gave Johns $1,100 in cash and $3,400 in two checks. Ryan continued his story aboit subsequent transactions in which he said Johns wanted more funds right along until the witness finally made a statement of the whole mat- ter to the postoffice inspectors and made no further efforts to get bets on the races through ¢ ¥ Severe Cro Examination, The cross-examination of Ryan by Charles W. Baker was terrific, the most prominent question being: “Of how many murders are you gullty?’ When Ryan re- plied that he had been acquitted of the.only murder for which he was tried, then fol- lowed questions as to shooting scrapes and arrests, mostly conpected with a sa- loon formerly conducted by Ryan in St. Louis. He was also examined at length about his trial for alleged passing of bad checks, and questioned about different ar- rests, one of them belng for securing the corpse of a Chinaman. Baker had Ryan admit that he gave Johns, in his own handwriting, a complete statement of his bookmaking, so the latter as his attorney could present the case to the Postoffice de- partment. This document was on the letter head of the Filbeck hotel at Terre Haute, Ind., and was submitted In evidende, as were also the contracts for $2500 and for $2,000, on the same letter heads and in the same handwrlting of Ryan. It was brought out that ‘there was to be no division of the 32000 for the revision of Ryan's ad- vertizing literature. Ryan admitted that he took in over $1,000,00 through the malls and had 3200000 on hand when the posf office inspectors took charge of his con- cern. Hiram = Rulison, next cross-examined Ryan as to why he had not been indicted as well as Miller and Johns. The witness denied that any bargain had been made or immunity promised him. On redirect examination, Rysn testified that Johns dictated the statements and contracts that were in his handwriting on the Filbeck hotel letter heads.

Bishop Cyrus D. Foss of this city presided. The general topic of the day was “The Difficulties in the World's Evangell- zatfon,” divided into several subjects as: At Home, Abroad, In Europe, In Latin America, and, In the Cities. Parts of the three sesslons were taken up with singing, scriptural reading and prayer. One of the principal addresses of the morning session was that of the Rev. Dr. H. K. Carroll, assistant corresponding sec- retary of the missionary soclety, who spoke on home missions. He devoted most of his address to the negro question and gave it as his opinion that in Christian missionary work at home was the solution of the race problem. *The black man has claims upon us to which we cannot be indifferent. He constitutes more than one-tenth of our pop- ulation and fie is not dying out like the red man nor committing race sulcide like the white man, but Is increasing and multi- plying.” He belleved that the gospel was not only the surest but the cheapest way In the end of solving the race problem ‘‘where men can say as Christians” we are brethren, no police power, he added “will be neces- sary to constrain them to dwell In peace and unity." Dr. Carroll attacked Mormonism. He said a Methodist has almost as much faith in the religlon of Moslem as in that of Mor- mon, the foundation of which was lald'in fraud, and its history was fraught with violence and crime. ‘Thera is no people among our citizens more In' need of the gospel than Utah and the Mormons. It is the plague spot of our civilization, * the open sore of our body.' Rev. J. B. Helms of Morgan Memorial church, Boston, ulso spoke on home mis- slons. He declared that trades unions ‘should be Christianized. “If we were wise, he sald, “we should see to it that from our schools and seminaries every year we would wend misslonaries into these great labor o ganizations to make them Christians. Here is open a wonderful opportunity for which the church thus far has been blind.” MAE WOOD DENIES STORY that Reports of Sult Against New York Seuator Are False. Says NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Mlss Mae C.
