It bears on the case of Miss Inga Han- sen, a former S Chicago, who recently was found guilty | of perjury and given an indefinite sen- | tence in the penitentiary. The resolu- tion uests the Governor to have the stigated, and then, if in his judgment the case warrants it, to pre- | vent Miss Hansen beilng sent to the case | per Hansen’s conviction was the growth of a suit for $50,000 damages rought by her against the Chicago City Railway Company, in wh! alleged that she had been deprived of her sight and speech and the use of her limbs as the result of injuries re- | ceived in a street-car accident. She claimed that her partial recovery was | @ miracle wrought by prayer, while the company alleged that her Injuries were | only pretended. The resolution cites the statement mede some time ago that the railroad company had expended $50,000 in se- curing the conviction of the young woman, and the fact that many per- sons believe her innocent. The resolu- tion was made a special order for Tuesday. | ———————— ;('IT\' OF GLASGOW GRANTS THE REQUEST OF CHICAGO | | Manager of Municipal Tramways Will | Advise With Mayor-Elect | Dunne.

LEXINGTON, Ky., April 6.—Five at- tempts to burn Rucker Hall, the girls’ dormitory of the Georgetown, Ky., col- lege, the largest Baptist institution in |the South have just come to light. Five fires were started in as many rooms on Saturday and Sunday nights with the apparent intention of destroy- ing the building. BEvery effort to dis- cover the identity of the Incendiary has failed. The college authorities believe that one of the girl students did it, and the bullding is now being watched nightly.

THO PHONES ARE - CREAT NUISHNCE Portlander Tells Council What He Discovered of Dual System in California. PEOPLE ARE HEARTILY | TIRED OF THE BURDEN Fi-ght to the Death in Los Angeles Between Automatic and Old Company. There is considerable difference ot opinion regarding the installation of an- other telephone system in this city. Many business men on whom much of the inconvenience of two systems will fall do not favor it. Business men who have been to Southern California say two tele- phones work a hardship on the people and that annoyances continually arige from the dual system. A member of the firm of W Clarke & Co. has just returned trvs‘:-.dfi;’i Angeles, where he made a carcful inves- tigation’ of the conditions, resulting in the following communication to the Mayor and Common Council: A BURDEN AND A NUISANCE. “Hon. George H. Willlams—Dear Sir- A recent visit of a member of the firm t Southern Californla, extending over six | weeks, enabled me while in Los Angeles | to look into the question of the telephone ! service m that city, and in view of the pending franchise for a second cofpany in this city a result of his observations may be of some interest to you, ““A consensus of opinion, with business men and a great many private citizens of Los Angeles, seems to be that the ex- istence of two phones in that city is a burden, a_nuisance and an unnecessary expense, Each company has its particular friends, who_ declare that its particular phone is the best, while all agree there is one company too many. The physicians have entered into an agreement to take one phone out. Business houses which originally espoused the cause of the new company find that their service charges have been practically doubled, while the service i8 very little better. The pres- ence of two phones ringing simultane- ously in & business office i3 ‘but one phase of the annoyance; another is the dificulty of distinguishing, when the party called is not in the room, phone must be answered. FIGHT FOR THE FIELD, “One Individual interviewed was o opinion that eventually there wouls fil;: but vne system—the one with the short- est purse would be the first to give iy, “These are unbiased observations—we have no which pecuniary -intere: of nature whatsover in the present tel. ! ephone company of this city, e have & private exchange installed, for which we believe we are pay- m! more than it is worth, but deplore extremely the prospect of a possible ne- cessity of another, and it seems to us that the franchise now held by the pres- ent company would admit of proper reg- ulation in the matter of charges and the securing of better service by the Council. ‘We sincerely hope you wll{ at any rate defer the granting of this franchise un- til the matter can be more fully investi- gated. WOOD. , CLARKE & CO."" —(Oregon Daily Journal, March 29, 1905.) el i | S - A SEVERE TEST plano playing will make him rich; but | . ——— ! WASHINGTON, April 6.—The result ot tests at Indian Head proving | grounds yesterday, the purpose of which was to determine the resisting ‘zpower of warships to the different _types of shells which may be hurled | against them in time of action, was satisfactory to the officers of the navy |ana army who witnessed them, as Is | shown by the following statement given | out to-day at the bureau of ordnance of the Navy Department: “An interesting test took place at the }na\'al proving ground at Indian Head | yesterday in' the presence of a large | number of officers of the navy and |army. A target structure representing {in all details a section of one of the | armored cruisers of the Tennessee class | was attacked by shells fired from six- inch and eight-inch guns with the same | striking velocities which these shells | would have had if fired in service at i ranges of 2700, 3000, 4000 and 4500 yards. | Some of these shells were loaded with black powder and some with high ex- | plosive. | “The object of the test was to deter- \mme the resisting power of ;the ships to the different types of shells by which | they ‘would be attacked in action. | ‘“The result was very satisfactory, in- | dicating- that . these ships may be ex- | pected to stand up well against the | guns of any ships to which they will | naturally be opposed. At the end of the test the target, although considerably §dumaged locally, was intact so far as | its structural element was concerned.” P RS NSO OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST | Postoffice Is Established in Tuolumne | County and Changes Are Made | in Washington Postal Service. | WASHINGTON, April 6.—A post- office has heen established at Schmid, Stevens County, Wash., with Frank | B¢ Schmid as postmaster. |~ The name of the postoffice at Cloud- | man, Tuolumne County, has been | changed to Keystone.

Their bodies were found by the father of the three children, Samuel Clark, a truck driver, who with his wife and young son, oc- cupled an adjoining room. When Clark awoke he smelled gas and traced it to the next roo where he found his three children d4nd the woman, a friend of the family, dead. The gas had es- caped from & defective gas stove. TALE OF DEATH WASTHINGTON, April 6.—A report of the railroad accidents in the United States during the months of October, November and December, 1904, has been compiled by the Interstate Com- merce Commission. It shows that in that quarter 53 passengers and 159 em- ployes were killed and 1430 passengers and 1868 employes injured, a total &t 242 persons killed and 3298 Injured in train accidents. Other accidents to passengers and employes, not the result of collisions or derailments, bring the total number of casualties up to 14,978—951 killed and 14,027 injured. The report indicates a decrease of 178 killed and 624 injured, as compared with the last preceding quar- ter. Of the total number of 53 passengers killed in train accidents, 29 were killed in one collision between a passenger train and a freight train. ‘The number of collisions and derail- ments in the quarter was 2950, the financial damage aggregating $2,601,801. The number of employes killed in coupling and uncoupling cars in the quarter was 71—12 more than in the preceding three months. IS A PROPHET SALT LAKE, April 6—Joseph F. Smith was sustained as prophet, seer and revelator by unanimous vote of the members of the Mormon church at the opening session of the seventy-fifth an- nual conference to-day. When the vote was taken to sustain the twelve apos- tles, two hands were ralsed in dissent. One of the dissenters arose to explain his vote, but 1 as not permitted to speak, President Smith merely stating that he could present his objections to the proper authorities. The incident created a profound sensation. The members who dissented afterward stated that they desired to protest against sustaining such officers of the church as live in polygamy. Among the apostles sustalned were Apostles Taylor and Cowley. In his testimony before the Senate investigat- ing committee at Washington, Senator Smoot stated that an investigation was being made by the church into the charges that these two apostles had taken polygamous wives since the manifesto and that if the charges were proven he would not vote to sustain Taylor and Cowley. Senator Smoot was not present to-day, nor * e Apos- tles Taylor and Cowley. NORE VICTINS OF NENINGITIS CHICAGO, April 6.—Five new cases | of cerebral spinal meningitis of the | malignant kind have been found in Chi- | cago. NEW YORK, April 6.—Experiments | carried out at the Gouverneur Hospital | in this city have resulted in the deci- sion by the medical staff that there is no hope of establishing a cure for cere- bro-meningitis by the use of diphtheria antitoxin. After trials from January 20 to date it was found that a death rate of the same percentage prevailed as last year, when the antitoxin was not used. Meantime the epidemic continues its | spread through all the territory wAthin 250 miles. There were eighteen deaths cn Wednesday in Greater New York. Between Saturday noon and the same hour Wednesday there were forty- seven deaths in Manhattan, against forty-six in the four days of the pre- vious week. Since Saturday noon there have been seven deaths in the Bronx, against four in the entire week pre- vious. —_————— The time to hug a girl is when she knows if she screamed you wouldn't dare.
