ALTHEEER A UL L LU AT RIS LSS SRS SRS Elizabeth { makes OLICEMAN RNEST ALEXAN- DER was held for trial in the Superior Court by Judge Conlan ]I yesterday. In passing judgment the magistrate said: “I believe from all the evidence adduced here that the defendant at bar should go ore a jury of his peers for trial on this arge. 1 will accordingly hold him to er to the Superior Court of this city d county upon the charge entered in the complaint and fix his bail in the sum $5000 in bonds or $2500 cash.” When the case was called yesterday af- rnoon the courtroom was overcrowded with curious spectators. The testimony given at the prelimindry examination the seccnd day, while not as sensational as that given at the initial hearing, was just | as interesting. Mamie Lin, better known W the “red light” district as Lulu Wi!- «on, was subjected to a searching cross- examination by W. W. Fo attorney for the defendant. The witness was com- pelled to tell of the money she recefved from the Chief of Police for her trouble and also interrogated as to the method used In trapping the officer. “When you handed the money to Alex- ander was it wrapped In paper?” asked Foote ‘It was loose. I took it out of my pock- and handed it to him,” replied the woman. “1 understand you to say that you wero given $20 in this buflding by the Chief of Police?” “Yes, in his office. “Who was present? ““The Chief, another man and myself.” ‘Was that other man the man who is mentioned in this case?’ “Yes, sir. I'll give you his name. no difference to me.” LUCE WAS THE MAN. Objection was made by\ the Prosecut- ng Attorney and the witness did not di- ulge the name, but subsequently blurted out that the man was Luce and he was employed as an electriclan by the city and county. The witness also stated that she had talked to Bessie Laverne of 93 Market street and with' others about the case. In the course of the examination Feote created a furor by speaking of Chtef Wittman as “Captain” Wittman. “How long have you known ‘Captain’ Wittman?” asked Foote. “Chief Wittman,” interrupted Weller. Excuse me,” sald Foote, mildly but ironically, “It 4% all the same. Mr. Foote does not pay my salary,” interjected Wittman. The court interrupted him and ‘told | counsel to proceed, but Foote came back {and eaid: ““I suppose this is intended so that some- | pody can write something in the news- paper. It is all right, ‘Captain.’ 1 know | vou are Chief, and if you will remember | anything about it—if you have any grati- | tude about you—you will remember when 1 tried to prevent Lieutenant Esola from becoming Chief of Police. 1 got myself | very much disliked on your account.” Chief Wittman started to say some- It | thing and Foote velled: “On, don't swell | vp about 1t.” sald: Wittman came back and “I am not swelling up, Mr. Foote. elling up seems to be on your When this repartee had concluded, the witness answered that she had known the Chief of Police a short time.

The Examiner might have saved this $25 had it been up to date. The entire story about Electriclan Luce's connection with the expose, and the assistance he gave Chief Wittman In catching Alexan- der, was printed in The Call on Decem- | ber 10. “Did vou ever say to any one in this town that you could compel Chiet Witt- man to do anything you wanted, because of your long acquaintance with hum?" asked Foote. “No, sir. I never did.” id you not tell Mrs. Powell?" “No, sir; I never did. I would have led if 1 dia.” Upon redirect examination, Assistant District Attorney Alford asked the wit- ness pertinent questions about her life and manner of living. He made her re- tell the story of her meeting Alexander on Mason street when sihe was with a woman named Rose Everett, and she narrated the conversation.

SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 17.—The anthra- cite coal operators opened their side of the | controversy with the mine workers to- | day before the strike commission and the | attorneys who' are on record before the | commission as representing the non-union | men began calling witnesses. The ses- sions to-day were probably the liveliest yet held by the commission. At the morn- |ing session the miners' lawyers chal- | lenged the fairness of certain wage state- | ments handed to the commission by the | Pennsylvania Coal Company and in the | afternoon Lawyer Darrow had a spirited discussion with Chairman Gray as to know who is paying the lawyers repre- senting the non-union, men before the ommission. | Préceding this Stmon P. Wolverton, | counsel for the Reading Company, who | delivered the opening address on behalf of | all the large coal companies, made the point in his address that the recognition of the union I8 not an issue before the | commission, which brought out a protest from Mr. Darrow. The lattér claimed that if it were not then the operators should be forbldden from presenting tes- timony that tended to show that the union was resnonsible for all the alleged violence committed during the strike. ‘The alleged unfairness of the wage statements came to the notice of the commission as a result of its inquiry into the child Jabor question in this vicinity. Several little girls testified on Mond: that they worked all night in a silk mill | in order to help their fathers, who were | employed in the mines and received poor :yiy. Yesterday Everett Warren, who | | represents the Erie Company, which con- trols the Pennsylvania Cdal Company, in whose mine some of the fathers worked, handed to the commission a memorandum | showing that one father last year re- ceived $1600 for himself and laborer. At the cpening of the session to-day the min- ers placed the two parents on the stand and they swore that the earnings mentioned | was divided among from four to six men. | | This testimony surprised the commission- | ers and Judge Gray asked if the figures on the memorandum were taken from the ‘wage'statement already filed by the com- pany with the commigsion and . Warren replied in the affirmatite. ASKS FOR EXPLANATION. Chairman Gray then requested counsel | for the company to indiccte in its state- handed up, whether the figures given are for one, two or more men. “We do not say It shakes our faiih in ued. “Unless you can show, however, that there are none of these cases such as are suggested by this testimony, it w” The company, through its general man- | ager, W.

The company does not keep a record of the individuals in & contract or the number, The commission examined a deputy and ruggested that the Legislature of Pennsylvania be petitioned to improve the factory inspection laws. MINERS REST THEIR CASE. The miners here rested their case and ‘Wolverton formally opened the operators’ side of the controversy by reading = statement which represented the views of all the large coal companies. Ira H. Burns, one of the attorneys for the Independent operators, presented. the opening statements of the individual companies, It was arranged that the attorneys rep- resenting the non-union men should first call thefr witnesses and flve witnesses were produced who test'fied that strikers had killéd one man and had more or less seriously injured two other men who worked during the suspension. The first witness was Mrs. James Wenston, the ‘wife cf the murdered man, and the sec- ond was her son-in-law. Darrow aske the son-in-law who was paying for the lawyers who ‘are represcnting the non- union men, and then ensued the liveliest tilt that has occurred in the sessions of the commission. The chairman sald it made no difference it the operators were paying for the lawyers. He added that it matters nothing in a court of justice where a man Is trled for murder who pays for the prosecution so long as justice is done. At 5 o'clock the commission ad- Jjourned until to-morrow. | OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE - \ OF THE PACIFIC COAST Lieutenant Colonel Miller to Be Chief Quartermaster of De- partment of California. ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Postoffice es- tablished: California—Johnstonville, Las- sen County; Andrew L.
