UNDETERRED BY DETAILS, Courtroom Enlivened by Smart Costumes of Bay State Ladies, Who Gaze. on Clothing Torn from Mrs. Potter by Regu- lators, PLYMOUTH, Mass., Nov. 26.—A ter- rific southeaster swept across Cape Cod Bay last night and brought with it to- day a deluge of rain. In spite of these deterrents a greater crowd than on either preceding day streamed Into the County Court-House, sad, bedraggled, but with ears cocked to hear more about the famous Marion whitecap case. Reserve Seats for the El People of Plymouth were, more aston- ished when court opened to-day at the appearance of aristocratic ladies than a: the developments of the cross-exam- ination. Foremost among the spectators were the wives of Judge Harris and As: sistant District-Attorney French, w one-half the court-room was reserved for the elite of this part of the Bay Btate. ‘There ‘were a number of fashionable traps hitched in the sheds near by, and @ sensution occurred Jn the room at the report that Richard Harding Davi: near whose house James McDonald w “cemented” and feathered on the nigit of Aug. 6, had arrived on the scene. ‘The court officer rapped for order with his tipstaff, but the audience would not be hushed until the town undertaker re- lieved every one by passing. the word: Sympathy, that at first was entirely with the seven accused whitecap- pers, has now changed, and the un- happy Mrs. Potter, who wae stripped nude by the mob, {s regarded more as an outraged woman than a scarlet dis- grace. Torn Clothes. in Evidence. If careful preparation that might well be studied by New York prosecutors can avail District-Attorney French should win his cage. The front of the court- room is practically filled to-day with exhibits, Including everything from Mrs, Potter's torn lingerle to the rall that McDonald bravely strove to ride. It fs a round stick of spruce free from knots and to Jt clings one torn feather. When a reporter attempted to examine this exhibit two deputy sheriffs laid violent hands upon him. “The feather," they gasped and hus- tled the newspaper man to a distance, ‘The prosecution will call only one or two more witnesses, and then Mr. Cum- mings, of Fall River, says he will prove not only that the accused are Innove..t, but that McDonald never was treated as ho describes. He announced this to-day in the course of cross-examination, and McDonald, sitting near, was so amazed that he gulped a sob. “If he does that,” sald he to the next man, “he's a daisy.

BRISTOL, R. I., Nov. 26.—The oper- ation of running the lead for the keel of the new America’s Cup boat was begun to-day at the Herreshoffs’ boat ghops here. Long before daylight fires were lighted in the smelters. Workmen piled the pigs of lead into the receptacle, and by 7 o'clock they began to take out the molten metal. Although every arrangement had been carried out to the satisfaction of De- signer Nat Herreshoft, he spent the Breater portion of the time beside the mold, where he had the work of pour- ing constantly under supervision, It was expected that the mold would be filled by the middle of the afternoon, ‘ut later as the mass begins to cool, hot lead will be poured in to fill the crevices which form on the surface of the cast- ing. The lead will probably have suf- ficiently cooled by Saturday of this week to allow the removal of the mold and the clay surrounding it. The casting of the keel to-day, about four weeks earller than the correspond- ing operation in the construction of the Constitution two years ago, denotes that he new boat will be in racing trim: at least an equal period of time in advance of previous cup defenders. TUNNEL BRIBERY, DOULL DECLARES Alderman Talks About the “Dirty Dollars of the Penn- sylvania Railroad” at Public Hearing on the Franchise. ASKS HOW MUCH WAS PAID. ‘Alderman Doull caused a sensation at the afternoon hearing before the Al- dermanic Committee on Railroads on the Pennsylvania cross town tunnel franchise by open talk of bribery on the part of the rallroad corporation. “If, sald Alderman Doull, “it is a fact that the dirty dollars of the Penn- Sylvania Railroad have been circulated among certain members of this board! who are in favor of this franchise, how much has the company patd to those city officials higher up who have ex- pressed their approval of this ordinance? They must have deen ‘seen,’ and well bagen nt ‘The Aldermanic Chamber was crowd- ‘ed-when the session-opened: Represen~ tatives from the Merchants’ Asso- elation, the commercial and business world and labor orgaulzations were there. Among them were Gustav Schwab, President William H. Baldwin, George V. Massey, John P. Greene, Vice-President of the Pennsylvania Rail- Judson La son, Townsend Wandell, A. H. Mathews and scores of other prominent citizens, many of whom were in favor of the adoption of the franchise in its present form. Sullivan Fights for Change. It developed that the Rallroad Com- mittee with the sole exception of Alder- man Timothy P. Sullivan, was in favor of the amended franchise. Sullivan fought in committee for several changes in the franchise, among them the inser- tion of the eight-hour clause. He read a minority report, which urged that the tunnel shall not be used for freight. It went on: “We consider that the compensation offered to the city for the tunnel is ab- golutely inadequate, The money stipu- Jation to be paid for Thirty-first and Thirty-third street and the $96,000 per year for the rental of. Thirty-second street is no part of the franchise, as it simply recompenses the city for prop- erty used by the corporation. “It is evident that a purely passenger traffic would not warrant the outlay of $50,000,008 for the bullding of this tunnel. Wants Eight-Hour Clause. “The elght-hour law clause should be made a condition of the franchise. Some protection, both as to hours of employment and the amount workmen should receive, should be made a condi- tion.” ‘The teport then asks that the ordl- nance be returned to the Rapid Transit Commission for these changes.

WAS ESPECIALLY DETAILED. WUSHINGTON, Nov, 2.—Wiillam H. Theobald, special employes of the Treas- ury Department iniconnection with the New York Custom-Houge, has been dis- charged by direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, It ts charged that Mr. Theobald has been overzealous in the.discharge of his duty and has brought the Depart- ment into disrepute by {ll-ndvised action in connection with selzures of imported goods. The most recent case in which Mr. Theobald figured prominently was the seizure of a valuable pearl necklace brought from Europe by Mrs. Dalles, of. ‘Phitadelphia. “Me was also consplcuous- ly active in the exposure of the allk frauds. Special Agent Theobald is known in the Cistom-House as “Abner MoKin- ley's friend." He 1s a special protege of Collector Bidwell and was saved by him from dismissal on charges of fraud in 1900. Among the matters investigated at that time was the Phyllis Dodgé dia- mond case, Mrs. Dodge's diamonds were selzed on the pler, Theobald acting after the regular inspector had refused to do 80, It is alleged that he learned In Paris that Louls Wormser was about to.give her a valuable diamond stomacher. ‘The value of the diamonds selzed was $65,000, He was the important witness for the Government In the famous Lagar dia- mond-smuggling case, in which the Gov- ernment recelved $35,000 in duties aad made, Theobald a present (gf $5,000 for his services.

PRETTY WIDOW GETS $31,000 DAMAGES, Jury Makes Award to Mrs. Hen- rietta Fremont, in Spite of the Protests of Metropolitan At- torney.

Effort to Control Colorado Fuel & Iron Company May Result in an Old-Time Battle to Finish. “T shall protect myself." said d- ward H. Harriman to-day, discussing the clrcular of George Gould, in which the latter alleged that he was a falsi- fler and a business trickster. Not in years has the accusation of untruth been so directly made in Wall street as it has been by George Gould, and never have two glants of finance lined up to fight with such powerful adjuncts. The result must necessarily be a struggle of mililons, In which one or the other will be crushed, and in which the biggest financial interests of the country must be involved. Up to yesterday, when Mr. Gould came out flatfooted with the statement that Mr. Harriman and his asosciate, Edward Hawley, had made misrepre- sentations with reference to the call fof proxies in Colorado Fuel & Iron, there was a chance that the two men might get together and bury their dit- ferences, which have been growing for a year. Now, there appears to be no chance of anything but a struggle as bitter and relentless .as Wall street has ever witnessed. Harriman Means Fight. Mr. Harriman is wrought up to a gree over Mr. Gould's charges: He was seen by an Evening World repprter as wing lg home, at No, 1 East een street to-day, and his face became stern when the subject was mentioned. He was aeked what action he intended to take agajnst Mr. Gould. “I do not belleve in newspaper con- troversies,” sald Mr. Harriman, after &@ moment's consideration, “and I shall not engage in one. But you may rest assurred that I shall protect myself. Later in the day at my office I may have some information to impart re- garding my plans.” ‘When Mr, Harriman reached his of- fice he found Mr, Hawley awaiting him ‘They retired for consultation and were not seen for an hour. The controversy between Mr. Gould and Mr. Harriman did not come as a surprise to inner circles in Wall street, ‘They have been at odds for a year over questions Involved in the management ot whelr rival properties in the West, ‘but thelr interests were so interwoven that there was no sign of open hostli- ites, The present controverry grew out of what appeared to be a small be- ginning—a difference of opinion as to who should constitute the directorate of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com- pany. The Troublesome Circular. A circular \,18 Issued, bearing the signatures of Mr. Harriman, Mr. Haw- ley and Mr. Gould, asking stockhold- ers for proxies for the annual meet- ing of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com- pany, to be held on Dec. 10. As soon as this circular came out John C. Osgood, who beat John. W. Gates in the fight for the control of the property last summer, issued a statement in which he warned the stockholders that neither Mr. Harriman nor Mr. Gould should be trusted with the operation of the company, because their railroad In- terests were so closely connected with it that trouble would cerftainly result. From this it appeared that the fight would be between Mr, Osgood and the combined Harriman-Gould interests. Now Mr, Osgood {8 lined up with Gould, John W. Gates and his faction are Mned up with Mr. Harriman, and the fight for the control of the property is between George Gould and Edward Harriman, This condition grew out of the assertion of Mr. Gould, made on Monday, that the use of his name in connection with the circulars asking for proxi28 was unauthorized. Then Mr, Harriman and Mr. Hawley issued a statement. They informed the public that Mr, Gould attended a meeting at which he agreed to allow his name to be used In a request for prox- Jes. When this was shown to Mr. Gousd he made prompt dental, supplementing tt later with this detailed statement: very surprising cir- ys the Gould statement, ‘addressed by Messrs. Haw- ley and Harriman to thé stockholders of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com- pany. In some respects it !s a direct misstatement of facts and in others an ingenious perversion of truth, ~ | “Beveral conferences were held, but with no definite results. At one of these conferences it was proposed to ascer- tain whether a board could be made up on an agreement with Mr. Osgood, as- signing him two seats. This plan was proposed to Mr. Osgood after the oon- ‘erence on Nov, 6, and was abandoned, as it became evident that Mr. Osgood could elect a considerably larger repre- sentation than that suggestod. ‘Tho formined vstate, wien I fete fora torminy or South oa Nov. it, ‘t ‘The Hawley ciroular states ‘that a¢ a subsog jeoting on ast, Nov, Mr. Gouid proposed that the prox: (Continued on Second Page.)
