MYSTERIOUS EXPENSES. Mulianey could hot tell what the sun- dries were unless they were supplies. He had taken trips to New York to see Fields at the latter's suggestion. He did- not know how many times he had been to New York. He sometimes bought tickets for Fields. Nineteen vouchers were iden- tified by Mullaney, for all of which he which These were paid be- aggregated $3739. { tween March 7, 1900, and July 12, 1905. Mullaney said his salary was $2% a month. He had never carried any money to Albany from New York for Fields and had never paid out any money for Fields. living at Nantucket, Mass., sat in the committee room waiting to be called, but late in the afternoon he was excused for the day. Barnes figured in this investiga- tion several weeks ago when vouchers for legal services, bearing his signature, were produced, together with a letter signed by Willlam Barnes Jr. of Albany, reminding the Mutual Life that his fath- er's “honorarium” had not been recefved, and further asking that a check be for- | warded. LARGE PAY FOR OFFICIALS. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany figured in the greater part of the day's proceedings. John R. Hegeman, president of the company, who was on the stand when adjournment was taken yesterday, was the frst witness to-day, and the expenses of the company were further gone into. It was brought out that Hegeman's salary is the same as that of John A. McCall, president of the New York Life, ...,000. Previous to 1905, galary of Vice President haley Fiske is $75,000. George H. Gaston, second vice president, receives $37,500, and Frank O. Ayres, third vice president, receives $16,250. The work of agents in the field and their compensation was taken up with Hegeman, and later James McCraigh, the actuary, was called to supply details as to figures with which Hegeman was not familiar. Later in the day when McCraigh had been excused, Hegeman was again called and the subject of the company's securi- ties was taken up, but the interrogation had hardly begun when adjournment for the day was ordered. Hegeman said that, when the finance committee consulted him about increas- ing salaries in 1904, he replied: I said that I had received $90,000 for two years and wus satisfied and gratified and did hot mecd any increase. They agreed, how- ever. in consideration of my thirty-five’ years' service to increase it to $100,000.

POINT PROVED By EXLOSIN | UNIONTOWN, Pa., Nov. 3.—For the |sake of illustrating a contested point to a Coroner’s jury here yesterday, 2000 kegs of powder, representing a value of about $10,000, were exploded by a powder com- pany. The shock of the explosion was felt in geveral surrounding townships and there was great excitement throughout | this end of the county. The Coroner’'s jury, which has been sitting on the cases of eighteen persons | killed in the explosion at Falirchance on | September 9, had expressed a desire for information as to the direction in which the exploding powder exerted its greatest force. The powder people have taken the stand that the blg magazines, which went off on September 9, had been exploded by | some agency outside the magazines. | They claimed that some one having a | spite agalnst the concern had placed and exploded under the magazines containing | 10,000 kegs of powder some other explo- sive, either fulminate of mercury or nitro- glycerine. In defense of this it was claimed that powder, In exploding, does not tear holes in the ground, and the company offered to prove this by practi- cal demonstration to the Coroner’s jury. The Coroner’s jury retired to a great distance and the battery was touched off. The explosion ‘rocked the entire town- ship and was heard as far as Connells- ville. The powder people then showed that no hole had been torn in the earth by the explosion of this great amount | of powder. —_———— | GAMINS FROM NEW YORK i ON THE WAY TO TEXAS Forty of Them Being Taken to the West by Children’s Ald So- clety. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9.—Boyish faces aglow with expectations of attractive Texas homes were prominent last night at the Union station when New York gamins to the number of two score or more came in over the Wabash in a special car, and after several hours’ wait merrily hopped once more on heir traveling home and were soon spinning over the Missouri Pacific to- ward the Lone Star State. ’ The boys are the proteges of the Children’s Ald Society of New York and were accompanied by its' superin- tendent, R.

OFFICIAL BAN TO REMAIN TPON THE “SATURNALIA” WASHINGTON, Nov. 9—Secretary Root has declined to reconsider his de- | cision adverse to placing on exhibition in the Metropolitan Museum In New York the famous statuary group, “Sat- urnalin.” He hus received from Signor earnest appeal to act as “umpire” in a decision upon the artistic'and moral merits of the group, the sculptor tak- ing the ground that as Mr. Root is no longer legal adviser of the museum he is.now in a bias upon its Biondi, the sculptor, now in Rome, an | TRIES T0 END LIFE IN SURF Young Woman Leaps Froni Eminence at Cliff House, but* Escapes Being Killed FAILS TO FIND DEATH Misjudges Distance From the Waves and Mossy Surface of Rocks Saves Her Life A well dressed young woman, about 23| years of age, attempted to commit suicide last night near the Cliff House by leaping from the incline. that leads to the resort. Instead of falling into the water she land- ed upon the rocks, and although dazed and bruised, was not seriously hurt. ‘When the ambulance, which had been summoned, arrived, the woman had been taken away by two friends on a Sutro car. The woman was first seen slowly walk- ing downthe hill from the Cliff House. About three-quarters of the way down she paused for a moment to look about her, as though to make sure that the coast was clear, crawled under the wood- en fence, threw her hands to her face and leaped from the eminence. Several people on the beach hastened toward the woman as she leaped and arrived at her side al- most as soon as she landed on the rocks. Stunned and bleeding she was lifted from the mossy rocks, whose soft coating ‘prob- ably saved her life, and was carried to the Seal Rock House on the boulevard. About a quarter of six a call came into the Park Emergency Hospital, and the ambulance, with Dr. Tillman in charge, hastened to the scene. When it arrived the beach was deserted and Morlarty spent several minutes driving along the boulevard in a vain endeavor to | find the woman. Finally a call was made at the Seal Rock House, where they were informed that she had left with two| friends on a Sutro line car. Two men, said that the woman soon Te- covered consciousness and insisted on re- turning to her home with her two friends, who placed her on board the car. She refused to give her name or residence, but one of the friends remarked that she lived at 8 or 10 Little place. Inquiry at those places failed to reveal knowledge of her. —_—————————— CIGAR-MAKERS AND' BROOM- WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE Eastern and Chinese Competition Causes Reduction of Wages in These Crafts. S | e Labor strikes on a small scale are established in the Cigar-makers’ Union and also in a few broomworkers' es- tablishments in the city over a new schedule of wages by the employes, which the employers decline to grant. Both branches are somewhat handi- capped in the output of their crafts by reason of Eastern and Chinese compe- tition, which leaves the employers | somewhat independent in ylelding to the demands of their employes.

Detectives Bell, Braig, Conlan and McGowan worked throughout yester- day, but no clew as to the murderer's identity, or as to the purpose of the crime was definitely established. . Among the theories advanced robbery seems paramount. McLaughlin had no enemies, so far as is known, and with the exception of a vague report that two coalpassers were heard in angry conver- sation inside the place shortly before the crime it is not known who entered the barroom or who kept eompany with the murdered man after his brothers left at least half an hour before the shooting. The detectives are inclined to believe that a robber entered the place and de- manded that the proprietor surrender whatever cash and valuables he had in the house. The location of the blood stains_at the end of the bar would indi- cate that McLaughlin was standing at this point when the fatal shot was fired. ‘Whoever wielded the weapon must have stood some distance from the victim, as there are no powder marks on the body or the clothing, and it is the supposition that McLaughlin was coming from be- hind the bar for the purpose of protect- ing himself from injury when he was stopped by the bullet that caused his death. for a dissolution of theicompany on September 26 that the dissolution had been agreed upon by a two-thirds vote of the contract holders and that .all claims and demands had been settled and discharged.

ENGINEER TURNER SIGNS ALLEGED FALSE REPORT Says He Formulated Document From Data Furnished by G. W. Howe, Now om Trial. Luclen M. Turner, a civil epgineer #nd mining man, was the most interest- ing witness yesterday In the United States District Court in the trial of George W. Howe, indicted for using the malls for the purpose of further- ing a fraudulent mining scheme. In a pamphlet issued by the Yale Gold Mining Company appears what purports to be a report signed by ‘“Lucien M. Turner, C. E, M. E, F. G. 8 and Se B.” to the effect that Turner had ex- perted certain properties of the Yal Gold Mining Company, assayed some of the ore and found them to be val- uable mining properties. Mr. Turner explained that he had been Interested with Howe some years ago in the pro- posed purchase of mines in Napa Coun- ty, and that purely as a matter of friendship he had formulated Into a re- port, which he signed, gertain data furnished him by Howe. On cross-examination by Attorney George D. Collins, Turner admitted that he had never visited the mines In ques- tion nor even the district in which they are situated. He added that he had ex- pected that the report, if published, would appear over the signature of George W. Howe. Stella Chapman of Lynn, Mass., and !a one-legged man named Hyacinthe Foisy, also of Lynn, ldentifled certain letters and circulars as having been re- ceived by them through the mails, which literature had induced them to invest money in the mining stock.
