He has documentary proof of the date and place of his birth. Despite his great age, he hoves to be able to make the trip to St. Louis and view the sights of the won- derful exposition and the great city which has taken the place of the wilderness which he knew when a boy and up to the time he left there, about 1805, when he removed to Arkansas. He clearly remem- bers the primeval appearance of the lo- cality where St. Louis now stands, and the long lapse of years has not effaced from his memory many interesting inci- dents.of that part of the frontier of those early. days. “Grandpa” McGee lived 1in Arkansas until 1837, when he enlisted In the army for the war against Mexico. He was 52 years old at the time. He served with General Taylor throughout that war and when it was over he settled in Texas. He has never applied for a pension; he says he has no need for one. He drew a bounty of 1280 acres of land. During his long residence on the frontier of Mis- souri, Arkansas and Texas, and up to,) about twehty years ago, he saw almost ‘constant service against the Indians. He ‘bas been in innumerable battles with dep- redating bands of redskins and his body Is covered with wounds which he received (while paving the way for the clvilizatiod which now. surrounds his home. 3 These wounds have given him consider- able trouble of late, and it {8 somewhat difficult for him to get about. He was eble, however, to make a trip to the town of Granbury, his postoffice address, a few days ago and personally look after matters in connertion with a claim which he has presented against the United States Government for property destroyed y Indians. ¥ ! His mind is active and his eyesight re- markably good' considering his phenome- ‘nal age. The older frontiersmen of Texas know him well and they say that there never was a braver man on the Indian ‘battle fleld that “Grandpa’ McGee. He was an old man as far back as the mem- ory of the oldest of the Texas poineers goes. This wonderful old man has been mar- HANNA LOOMS ASACANDIDATE] . AND VENALITY Epoken of in Conneéction "With the Campaign of 1904. Ohio Senator Makes a Speech to Show Benefits of Arbitration. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 5—A World ‘special from Washington says: Every time the Republican Presidential nomination in 1904 is mentioned to Senator Mark A. Hanna he grins like a Cheshire cat. He says he Is not a candidate. His friends says!he is not a candidate. President Roosevelt thinks Hanna is a candidate. So do the President’s friends. A New England Senator said to-day: *If Hanna does not jump into the air pretty soon, swear and come down on this move- ment, it will get away from him and from everybedy else.” “Will he do it?” the Senator was asked. “Well,” the Senator replled, with just the suspicion of a smile, “he may jump into the air and he may swear, but I don’t know whether he will come down on it or not.” Senator Hanna Speaks. PHILADELPHIA, April 5.—Senator Hanna was the principdl speaker at the closing session of the sixth annual meet- ing of the Academy of Political and So- cial Science. He divided his subject with Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, and the question of the relation of capital and labor was discussed by the two speakers. Senator Hanna's topic was “Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration,” and Gom- pers spoke on ‘Its Possibilities and Lim- itations.” Senator Hanna began his address by referring to the efforts of the National Civic Federation to effect the cendition of industrial peace, The industrial department of the Civie Federation, he sald, although only two years old, had' settled seven strikes in three months and prevented the occur- rence of two strikes which would have rendered {dle more than 200,000 men. Senator Hanna stated that he had first become interested in the subject of the amicable adjustmerit of differences be- tween employes and employers during the Ohio coal strike in 1874, At that time, he said, an agreement was entered into be- tween the Employers’ Association and the Miners’ Union to meet each other and exert every effort for conciliation before resorting to drastic measures. As a result there were no more strikes of consequence in that region. The necessities growing out of the vast productive capacity in this country, said Senator Hanna, have forced the condi- tion of the aggregation of capital, the creating of wealth in concrete form. To absorb it and to render it valuable as an industrial investment we must have in- dustrial peace. The Civic Federation is beginning to lay the foundation of such a result, In the Peoplé’s Hands. “This question,” he continued, “rests in the people’s hands. If we have not the sympathy of the people we cannot hope to succeed. My experience of thirty years as an employer has taught me that the employer is expected to.go more than half way In meeting the employe. We are ye- sponsible to provide work.and to see that the men shall recelve a fair share of benefits, I belleve in organized Jabor, an it 1s a demonstrated fact that labor con- ditions are benefited when intrusted to an honest leader. Organized labor is a con- dition that must be met.” Senator Hanna denounced soclalism as inimical to soclety and to industrial de- velopment. . Soclalistic 1deas, he said, are “un-American and unnatural to us as a people.” President Gompers' remark s referred chiefly to the question of strikes and lockouts, Much as a strike of laboring men is to be deplored, said he, such action by the wage earner is the highest civil-| ized expression of discontent among workmen. A strike is a protest against wrong and Injustice when there is no other way of securing redress. “Every means within the power of every man, capitalist, laborer or neutral,” sald the speaker, “‘should be exerted to avert strikes. Yet there are some things worse than strikes, among them a degraded, a debased or demoralized manhood. No matter what may be the result of a strike if the workman’s organization is main- tained or a social defeat accomplished.” Gompers expressed opposition to com- pulsory arbitration as being valueless. He said the -Civic Federation was endeavor- ing to bring about commercial and indus- trial strength without friction. b Oscar C. Straus, former United States Minister to Turkey, also spoke. L e e e STRIKE BEGING AN PAPER MILLS Five Hundred Men De- cline to Work in Wisconsin. APPLETON, Wis.,, April 6.—The big strike in the Wisconsin paper manufac- turing district which has been pending for four months materialized this even- ing at 6 o'clock, when the day crews of eight paper mills finished their work and the night crews failed to report for duty. The mills in which the strike begun are two at Kaukauana, two at Marnette, two at Grand Rapids, one at Nekoosa and one at Port Edward. In ‘all about 500 men went out to-night. Twelve hundred men in Wisconsin mills are now out. Land Laws in Hawaii. ‘WASHINGTON, April 5.—An opinion rendered to-day by the Assistant Attorney General for the Interior Department and approved by the Secretary holds that the general land laws of the United States, including those relating to rights of way, have no application in Hawali, and that until otherwise provided for by Congress the Hawalian laws furnish the only au- thority for the disposition and manage- ment of those lands. The opinion further holds that under certain Hawallan stat- utes, which are part of those adopted by Congress for the time being, the Terri- torial officers-are clothed with authority to grant rights of way through the public lands for ditches, canals and reservoirs to be employed in storing and conveying water to be used in the reclamation and irrigation of arid lands. ® tied four times and has raised four large families of children.

Serious Charges Are Made Against Municipal As- sembly. A ST. LOUIS, April 5.—Most sensational charges are made bty the February Grand Jury, which has been investigating brib- ery and official corruption in the’ mu- nicipal assembly, in its final report to Judge O'Neil Ryan in the Criminal Court at noon to-d1y. The report declares that the people of St. Louis have but a vague conception of the extent to -which corrup- tion and venality ‘have for the past ten years existed among their sworn officers and public servants. It finds the true con- dition of affairs almost too appalling for belief. A tribute is paid to Joseph W. Folk, the Circuit Atterney, under whose leadership the investigation is being made. These indictments, already made pub- lic, were returned by the Grand Jury to- day: Bribery, Robert N. Snyder; attempt- ed bribery, Edward Butler and John H. Becker; perjury, George J. Kobusch. In part the report reads as follows: “A far-reaching and systematic scheme of corruption has been carried on for years by members of the municipal assembly. Thesc members form what are called ‘combines’ fér the purpose of holding up domestic legislation until their demands in the way of money consideration are complied with. Instead of discharging the duties of office for the public good and in accordance with their oath, they become organized gangs for plunder, using their office to enrich themselves at the people’s expense. “Our investigation, covering, more or less, fully a period of ten years, shows that with few exceptions no ordinance has been passed wherein valuable privi- leges or franchises are granted untii those interested in the passage thereof have paid the legislators the money demanded for action in the particular case. No municipal corporation has ever had its most valuable franchises so recklessly and scandalously disposed of for a consid- eration which found its way, not to the city treasury, but into the itching palms of the public piiferers. ““The persons against whom indictments for bribe-giving and bribe-taking have been returned are but a small percentage of those whom inquiry convinces us de- serve to wear the garb of convicts.” The report then continues: have had before us many of those who havelbeen and most of those Who are now mem- bers bf the House of Delegates. We regret to report that we found a number of these ut- terly {lliterate and lacking ordinary intelligence, unable to Bive a better reason for favoring or opposing & measure than a desire to act with the majority. In some no trace of mentality or morality could be found; in-others a low order of training appeared, united with base cunning, groveling instincts and sordid desires. These men, through their corrupt agent, aj proach the legislative representatives of power- ful combinations or corporations competing for valuable franchises, demand and receive of them sums of money ranging from $100 to $100,000 for their individual votes and influ- ence. Payments to Officials, From the evidence before us it appears that an official of the city government boasted of the fact that he had made $25,000 a year out of his official position which paid a legitimate sal- ary of but $300 a year. ' Another official, ac- eording to evidence before us, agreed with one ihterest to do an official act for $75,000, and afterward from the opposing interests’ accepted the sum of $100,000 for doing the Very opposite of that which he had agreed to do for $75,000. One legislator received in cash at his own re dence the sum of $50,000 for his vote on a pend- ing measure. This was retained by him for a few days and then returned in the hope of recelving a larger sum. The measure was en- acted and the member, after much delay, ‘was finally compelled to accept $500 in full for his vote on the franchise bill. Convincing documentary evidence was un- earthed proving that the sum of $145,000 was placed in escrow in a bank in this city to be aid to the members of the Municipal Assem- ly of St. Louls upon the passage of & valuable franchise ordinance. This ordinance fafled, and & second bill was Introduced, upon the passage of which the sum of about $350,000 was distrib- uted among those members. ~ After the passage of this ordinance the franchise was sold for one million_two hundred and fifty thousand dol- lars, The city realized nothing whatever for this franchise.” In these matters the statute of limitation was a bar to the finding of indict- ments against nearly all of the guilty parties. The more recent attempt of a street rallway company to secure a franchise has been con- spicuously brought -to public notice through proceedings in- the ecriminal courts. In this case an agreement was made between the leg- islative agent of the company and the repre- sentatives of the combines in both branches of the Municipal Assembly by the terms of which $75,000 was to be pald to certain mem- ber~ of the House of Delegates and $60,000 to certain members of the Council in consideration of such members voting for the proposed meas- ures, g The first named amount was deposited in Wi il _— New Design, Price $13.50 The best metal bedstead we have ever offered at the price.

Two keys to each box Were issued, the one being held by the legisla- tive agent of the company, the other by the cerrupt agent of the members of the Municipal Assembly. Through the action of the courts the passage of the ordinance was prevented. The $135,000 corruption fund was demanded by the legisiators under the claim that they had done their duty, all they had agreed to do, but the company refused to honor their claims. The evidence shows us that there are in this city men of seeming great respectability, direc- tors in large co tions and prominent in business and soclal circles, wWho have not hes- itated to put up money for the purpose of brib- ing through the Assembly measures'in which théy were Interested. When called before our body some have added to the offense of bribery the crime of perjury, and only escaped the ignominy of attaching to their infamous con- duct by reason of the fact that the evidence, though satisfying our minds, would not be ad- missible in the trial courts. le legal evi- dence may be lacking to bring upon them the ponalty for their acts, yet they are moraily Convicted and damned by thelr cornection with such debauchery. Some of these are as guilty s those against whom indictfnents have been returned, the only difference being that they have been mors successful in covering their tracks, No- names are mentioned in connection with those charges of fraud. ; ey Hickox-Ralston Wedding.
