H. D. Hougham gave an interesting lecture last night at Mechanics’ Institute on the “Theory of the Mechanical Cause of Gravitation and the Tides.” After forty years of experimenting and | study Mr. Hougham claims to have dis- | covered the mechanical and mathematical | principles in which electric heat and other forces of matter both materialized and etherealized operate to produce many of | the phenomena seen in nature. “Newton admitted,” Mr. Hougham said, “that there was a mechanical ‘why,’ but he had failed to find it, and claimed the | discovery of a mathematical ‘why’ | claim to have discovered the mechanical g 1d_can_ materially demonstrate, y illustrate and mathemati- ¥y prove it.” . ‘Hougham’s theory of motion is ex- | actly contradictory to the present one; the present theory is “evolution from a center to the outer world.” His theory is *“Involution toward a common center.” His remarks were accompanied by many drawings on the blackboard to per- mit his listeners to more easily follow him. | | —_——— Ariel Club Boxing.

Cummings of | New York in Baitimore last night caused | general regret and sorrow in the House inf Representatives to-day. Above the hall | the flag fluttered at half-mast and on the | floor the old familiar desk in the center | alsle near the front row, which Cum- | mings occupied for so many years, was draped in black and covered with a pro- | fusion of purple orchids and spring flow- | ers. Cummings was one of the most univer- sally popular members of the House and | hie geath seomed to come as a personal | loss to the members. | The blind chaplain, Rev. Dr. Couden, in | his invocation made'a touching reference | to Cummings’ death, his great services to ‘his country as a journalist and states- | man, and he prayed for those who had ! been’ nearest and dearest to him by the | ties of kinship. An order was made to give a day to | claims after the disposition of the state- | hood bill and then Payne of New York, | the dean of the délegation and the floor leader of the majority, arose and in sim- ‘ple. but fitting words, made the announce- ment of Cummings’ death. He said: It becomes my sad duty to announce the death of my distinguished colleague, Amos J. Cummings, which occurred in Baitimore last night. Of his loyaity. and courage, his devo- { tion to duty and unswerving patriotism and his Jong and distinguished “service of the House, 1 shall gpeak when the House shall set aside a day to pay a fitting tribute to his memory. He then offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the House has heard with profound sorrow of the death -of Hon. Amos J. Cummings, late Representative from New York. Resolved, In recognition of the long, dls- tinguished term of service rendered in that body by Mr. Cummings that appropriate ser- vices be held in the hall of the House on Sun- day, May 4, 1902, at 3 p. m. Reeolved, That a committee of fourteen members of the House, with such members of the Senate as may be joined, be appointed to take action concerning the funeral, Resolved, That the clerk communicate these resolutions to the Senate and transmit a copy of the same to the family of the deceased.

OFFIGERS SAY [T WAS MURDER, Man Wanted in Indian Territory Found at Elk Grove. Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, May 3.—Sheriff W. F. Sib- ley this afternoon arrested at Elk Grove Earl Holt, formerly City Recorder of Venita, Indian Territory, on a charge of murder. A year ago the 7th of this month Holt is said to have shot and killed James Holland, a political rival. He at once fled the country, and, after a brief stay in Arkansas, made his way to California last Jure, - Later he was joined by his family. He is intelligent and industrious and became respected by his neighbors. A month ago he dropped some remarks about his part in a tragedy at Venita. The report was carried to Sheriff Sibley, who ascertained that he was under in- dictment and wanted for murder. Last Thursday he attended a picnic at Clem- ents aud in some way learned that a dep- uty sheriff had been inquiring for him. He left the groundeé on a wheel and since then the officers have been scouring the country for him. To-day Sibley came on him at the rail- road station just as he was about to board a car. He surrendered without pro- test, and told the Sheriff that he knew he was after him and was starting back East to give himseif up. The accused man is but 28 years old, and claims that he did the killing in self-defense, but fled for fear that he could not get a fair trial owing to politicai feeling. Publishers Score a Point. ‘WASHINGTON, May 3.—The publishers who are fighting the exclusion of thelr publications from the second-class postal rates scored a point to-day in the District Supreme Court. The court overruled the Government’s motion to require the com- plaining publishers during the pendency of the restraining orders against the Postoffice Department to furnish ade- quate bond or deposit cash with post- masters covering the hizhest third-class rate on their publications, the excess to hel refunded in case the publishers finally win.

NEW YORK, May 3.—The slump in the stock market, affecting what is known on the “street” as the Webb-Meyer stocks, was followed late to-day by a story that warrants had been issued for the arrest of one or more persons in this connection, The story was that the order of arrest was issued upon an affidavit made by a Wall street operator, who claimed to have been fleeced. and further affidavits by members and employes of various firms who alleged they knew the secrets of the deal. It was further said that, from in- formation placed in the hands of Plerre M. Brown, an attorney, it was alleged that sixty banks in different parts of the coun- try are out more than $1,000,000 through stock manipulations, and the total loss at stake is placed at from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. It was asserted that Justice Gegeirich of the Supreme Court had is- sued the warrants. He could not be found to verify the statement until late to-night, when he said: So far as I can remember, the statements which have been made are true and the quo- tation of the affidavit is correct, though it must be remembered that I have a great many papers to deal with In the course of a day—of an hour—and, without having them at hand, cannot be too certain as to what they contain. The order of arrest was made for only one man, although I had signed four. The methods by which the “wash sales™ were undertaken, it is said, are given in the affidavit as follows: Orders would be given to several broke; to sell the stocks at given figures ane orders would simultaneously be given to other brokers to buy these stocks so that the purchases by the last lot would be made from the first. In this manner prices were reported of supposed sales, all of the sales and purchases being made for the same persons. The affidavit, it is said, mentions a num- ber of banks located in this city, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and other cities which are alleged to have made loans on some of the stocks. It is stated positively that Dr. Webb is not charged with any offense in connec- tion with the application for the warrant, or that he recelved any benefit from the | alleged fraudulent transactions. Up to a late hour to-night no arrest has been made. Joseph Hoadley, presider.t of the Inter- national Power Company, to-night re- cefved a letter from Dr. Seward Webb, | tendering his resignation as a member of | the board of directors. Mr. Hoadley said the resignation would be accepted. MEXICAN AUTHORITIES ORDER RELEASE OF EKRATZ Crime Charged Against the Former Councilman of St. Louis Is Not Extraditable. ST. LOIUS, May 3.—A dispatch to the | Post-Dispatch from a staff correspondent | at Guadalajara, Mexico, says: An order from the Foreign Minister to release Charles Kratz, the ex-Councilman indicted for bribery, has just been re- celved here. The offense with which Kratz |1s charged is not extraditable, inasmuch as the State Department at Washington refuses to promise to reciprocate.
