THE QUESTION OF SAURIES
Decision Reached to Leave the Matter
of Compensation As It Was in tho
Original Draft of the Charter,
Attorney General to Be
Consulted.
The charter committees practically
finished their work last night and ad-
journed subject to the call of the
chairman. Several matters of importr
ance were taken up and disposed of.
Previous to adjournment it was decid-
ed that each committee shall report
to tho body from which it was origi-
nated.
In arriving at a decision as to the
report of the work, the members o£
tho committees discussed tho subject
of calling a i^iass meeting of the tax-
payers. Therel was a diversity of opin-
ion as to the b°wer of the committees
to call such a| meeting, and also as to
the power which a mass meeting
would havo in undoing any of tho
committees' work. The final decision
was that each committee report to the
various bodies from which they were
appointed. N. H. L. Decker, J. P.
llaven and W. S. Pearson, who were
appointed by S. C. Kennedy whilo
Chairman of a mass meeting, will re-
port to Mr. Kennedy and the question
of a mass meeting will bo left in his
h^nds.
The following members of commit-
tees were present when Chairman
Decker called f^r order:
Mass meeting committee—N. H. L.
Docker, J. P. Haven. W. S. Pearson.
Board of Trade—E. H. Hanna, E. F.
O'Herin. Absent, P. II. Tobin.
Trades Council—G. F. French, C. W.
Chapman, Robert Rosbottom.
City Council—J. T. Butler. Absent,
J. T. Suggs and W. H. Halton.
Chairman N. H. L. Decker address-
ed the committee as follows:
Gentlemen of the Charter Commit-
tee: The call for tonight's meeting Is
not. entirely upon the motion of your
chairman, though he does take tho
larger part of tho responsibility for
aRain calling the committee together
in advance of tho publication of tho
work thus far accomplished. It oc-
curs to your chairman that we must
again take up the matter of terminat-
ing the oflfces and the term of service
of all the present employes of the
city upon the election and qualifica-
tion of the mayor and aldermen pro-
vided for.
It occurs on the suggestion of Mr.
Tobin that It would bo well to prov|dp
that tho alderman elected In class 1
should serve two years and tho ono
elected In class 2 should servo ono
year as thus we would always havo
one old member of the city govern-
ment holding over.
Without suggesting a change In the
present draft It is worth consideration
whether we shall adhere to our draft
already prepared In the matter of tho
Issue of bonds to be limited to eight
per cent of the taxable values or to a
gross sum certain.
This work is of such momentous Im-
portant to the future welfare of tho
city and while the committee has been
in the aggregate as careful and as
dilieent as any body of men with
whom I havo ever had the honor to
serve, still we must confess tjiar. our
work has been hasty and our time
brief and so I am suggesting that tho
new charter should allow the cltv to
retain all the powers conferred by tho
act of April fi, 1891 and acts amenda-
tory thereto and bo charged with all
the duties which are not Inconsistent
with this act and thereby save to tho
city some desirable powers and neces-
sary duty which wo havo or may havo
overlooked.
In looking over the charter of 1891,
published by tho city some two years
later, I am noting certain sections
that we might do well to consider and
then determine whether some or all of
them (wight not to bo retained and
especially re-enacted In the new
charter. These are sections 5, 15, 17,
19. 41. 42. 43. 44, 45, 4fi, 47. 59. 135,
13(1, 137, 138, 139. 140, 141, 147, 148,
163. 156. ICS. I furthermore suggest
that a special committee from this
body be authorized to appear before
the city council at Its next meeting
and respectively ask that body for
suggestions, assistance and co-opera-
tion In order that our. new charter
may be as nearly perfect as possible
and we may fairly test a commission
form of government which our peo-
ple have Indicated by such decided
majority that they prefer.
I furthermore propose that wo pro-
vide, through the action of the city
council or otherwise a sufficient num-
ber of Impressions of the proposed
new charter be printed, so that sub-
stantially every property owner may
be furnished with a copv for a suffi-
cient length of time in advance of the
mass meeting. It occurs to your chair-

HAS tyO OPINION.
J. J. Hill Psys"No~ Attention to the
Stock Market.
New York, March 6.—James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail
way, when asked yesterday for his
opinion of stock market conditions,
said:
"I pay no attention to tho market.
In fact, the opinion of a messenger
boy would be as valuable as mine. I
regard the stock market merely as f&
barometer for people who are counsel-
ed by their fears/'
Mr. Hill said he had received no
definite reports regarding the condi-
tion of the steamship Dakota. He did
not know as yet whether the vessel
was a total loss and the question
whether another would be constructed
in her place had not been considered.
Mr. Hill will probably leave for St.
Paul today.
A REVOLUTION
IS PREDICTED
THERE IS LITTLE HOPE FOR THE
RUSSIAN PEOPLE IN THE
PRESENT DOUMA.
STOLYPIN IS IN THE WAY
Russian Delegate to the United 8tates
Says Party of Toll Will Rule In
the Lower House and No Con*
cessions Will Be Made
to the Czar,
New York, March fi—Alex Aladln,
delegate of the Russian Revolutionists
to tho people of the United States, in
an address at the City Club last night,
said that he saw littlo liopo for the
Russian people in the present Douma.
"Only a few hours have passed
since the socond Douma mot," said
Mr. Aladln, "and It seems unmistak-
able that a great opportunity has onco
more been missed by' our crown. If
In Its speech the crown had only ut-
tered a single word of clemency, a
single word of forgiveness, the people
would have been satisfied. But, In-
stead. the crown has followed the ad-
vice of the statesmen who surround It.
"I tell you that tho men about tho
Czar are stirring up more revolution-
ary feeling than the people of tho
Left. These men gavo a blow In the
face to 70,000,000 people and they will
reap the result."
It was announced after his speech
that Mr. Aladln would answer ques-
tions.
"What Is the program of the present
Douma?" was tho query.
"Exactly the same as the first Dou-
ma," he replied. "Tho party of Toll
will still rule the House and no con-
cessions will be made until Stolypln
goes."
•What will the Douma do if It Is
again disbanded?" 3
"In that event It Is a question of
what the people will do and the an-
swer Is—fight."
COTTON INVESTIGATION.
No Intention to Probe Either Growers'
Association or Union.
Washington, March 6.—Knox Smith,
who succeeds Mr. Garfield as chief of
the bureau* of corporations, told Mr.
Burleson yesterday that there is no
intention to Investigate the Cotton
Growers' Assbclatlon and the Farmers'
Union by virtue of the resolution call-
ing for a report on the causes of tho
wide fluctuations in cotton.
Mr. Burleson told Mr. Smith that,
neither one of those organizations
would be opposed to an investigation
of its workings, but Mr. Smith declar-
ed that he did not construe the resolu-
tion as directing that kind of an In-
quiry. It was asserted by Mr. lever-
ing of Massachusetts short!)* after Its
adoption that. It called for an investi-
gation of producers' associations, as
j well as of exchanges dealing In cotton
futures. Representatives in Congress
from cottOn-growInK states have look*
ed on this declaration as signifying a
threat on the part of the exchanges In
the hope that the Investigation would
be called off. If this was tho purpose
the threat failed, for the Investigation
Is being made even now.
WAS A MATCH
FOR JEROME
DIISTRICT ATTORNEY UNABLE TO
TRAP DR. WAGNER, EXPERT
FOR THAW DEFENSE.
PRISONER IS TAKING NOTES
It Is Said He Will Attempt to Induce
Attorney Delmas to Sum Up the
Case on Lines He Will Lay
Down Based on the
Notes Taken.
New York, March G.—The long de-
layed testimony o£ Mrs. Wiliam Thaw
will probably be reached today In tho
Thaw trial. It was thought that Dis-
trict Attorney Jerome would finish
with Charles.G. Wagner, tho alienist,
yesterday, but a sharp argument be-
tween Mr. Delmas and Mr. Jerome,
followed by an equally acrid dispute
between the district attorney and Jus-
tice Fitzgerald, ended in a rulirig
which compelled Mr. Jeromo to pro-
long tho examination far beyond Us
proposed limits in an effort to securia
the admissions which ho desired. Thilfi
morning the expert will resume hla
testimony and no one, not even the
district attorney himself, knows how
much longer he will be on the stand.
Mr. Jeromo has In a way changed his
tactics in i the cross-oxamlnation and
yesterday again reverted to his theory
that Thaw is suffering from paranoia
or some other variety of Insanity. Dr.
Wagner made a few admissions, but
on the whole his story was little shak-
en. It does not seem likely that the
district attorney will be able to secur^
any Important admissions from him,
no matter how long he keeps him 04
the stand.
While the defense has shown by the
testimony of Its own experts that
Thaw was Insane on at least half a
dozen different occasions, the last be-
ing Oct. 3, 190G, they have not yet at
tempted to show that he Is sane today.
Neither Dr. Evans nor Dr. Wagner,
the two alienists who examined Thaw
In the 'nimbs, have examined him late-
ly, and both say they can not express
opinions on his present condition. The
defense has at least one other expert,
Dr. Graeme M. Hammond, who has
been constantly In the court room
since the trial began. - It Is supposed
that he will bo called to the witness
stand to show that Thaw has recover-
ed from his "brain storms" and other
kinds of Insanity and that his mind Is
now normal.
May MacKenzIe, Evelyn Nesblt-
Thaw's chorus girl friend, with whom
sho found shelter tho night Stanford
White was killed, Is frequently at the
court house and It Is generally under-
stood that she will take tho witness
stand some time this week, possibly
today. It Is supposed that, she will tes-
tify to a conversation with White
which took place after Thaw's mar-
riage In which White Is supposed to
have said that It would not last long
ntid that Evelyn would soon return to
him. This conversation. Evelyn Thaw
testified, was repeated to Thaw.
Ever since tho trial begnn Thaw has
been making voluminous notes of the
| testimony. It is now said that ho
j spends his evenings transcribing these
j notos anil arranging them for the use
I of his lawyers. It is saifl that he will
! attempt to make Mr Delmas sum lip
i the ease on the lines he will lav flown,
based on this reeord of what he con-
siders the weak points In the prosecu-
tions' ease.
FIRST VICTIM OF GRIP.
He
is Dangerously III Again of the
Same Disease.
New York, March 6.—Henry Kip j
Woodruff of Railway, who is said to
have been tho first grip victim In tho
United States, so far as the diagnosis
is concerned, is dangerously 111 at his
homo in that city from a return of the
disease.
When he was first stricken in 1§82,
the grip was ravaging Russia. Tho
physician called to attend him could
not determine tho nature of his mala-
dy and six others wero called. They
finally decided he had the then new
disease, the grip. Tho doctors pre-
dicted that Woodruff would not live a
week, and that if he did, ho would bo
u raving maniac. In time he recov-
ered.
ILLINOIS AFTER HARRIMAN
TO ATTACK VALIDITY OF THE AL«
TON BOND ISSUE.
Application Made to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for a
Transcript of Testimony.
Chicago, 111., March 6.—A\special to
tho Trlbuno from Washington says:
Official steps have been taken by
the stato of Illinois to attack tho va-
lidity of $:>2,0()(),000 in Alton railroad
bonds issued by E. H. Ilarriman and
his associates when they reorganized
tho Chicago and Alton Railroad Com-
pany. The Interstate Commerce Com-
mission has received an application
from William H. Stead, attorney gen-
oral of tho Btate of Illinois, asking for
a complete transcript of all testimony
t«ken by tho Interstate Commerce
Commission in Its hearing at New
York regarding the Chicago and Alton
railroad.
The Interstato Commerce Commis-
sion has begun to comply with the re-
quest of tho attorney general of Illi-
nois, which was made. It appears, un-
der tho special direction of Governor
Denfeen. There is an Immense amount
of testimony to be transcribed and
pages upon pages of short hand notes
will have to bo put Into typewritten
form. When that is done the book of
testimony will bo transmitted to the
Illinois authorities and It will be up
to them to determino whether the tes-
timony justifies proceedings to de-
clare void the whole Issue.
TRAGEDY ON A FARM.
WANTS TO OE A MISSIONARY
CONGO PYGMY REFUSES TO RE-
TURN TO THE JUNGLE.
Little Stranger Will Be Educated by
the Baptjst Ministers' Associa-
tion of New York.
New York, March (!.—Ola Uenga,
tho Congo pygmy who has been Uviug
in the Howard Orphan Asylum, Brook-
lyn, since ho was taken from the Mon-
key house In the Bronx Zoo laat Sep-
tember, through trie efforts of the ne-
gro clergymen of New York, refused
to go back to the Junglo yesterday.
Prof. S. I'. Verner, who brought him
to this country, turned him over to th«
park authorities until such time as he
should return to Africa, started for
the Congo yesterday with an American
exploring expedition. Before he start-
ed he called on Ola Ilenga and told
him he would take him back to Africa
if he wished to go.
The pygmy, who Is learning the Eng-
lish language, wants to become quali-
fied as missionary before he returns
and told Prof. Verner so.
The Baptist Ministers' Association
of New York, it la stated, intends to
send Ola to the Virginia Seminary ait
Lynchburg as soon as he gets good
hold on the English language. It Is
thought It will tak'ft about eight yti.rs
to make a good missionary out of Ola.

NEWS IS DISQUIETING.
Additional Worships to Be Sent to
Central America.
Washington. March fi —The United
States gunboat T'rl.nceton. which Is
now on the Southern California Coast,
will he ordered to Central America to
assist t.hc cruiser Chicago in looking
after American Interests threatened by
the war between Nicaragua and Hon-
duras. It also has been decided to
send either the Dubuque or the Padu-
cah to Minefields, Nicaragua, to assist
the Marietta In looking after American
Interests on the Caribbean side of Cen-
tral America.
News received here yesterday Is dis-
quieting in the extreme to the offl
I clfrls. who had been hoping that the
'trouble betwene Nicaragua and Hon-
duras could be localized and soon ter-
minated by arbitration. It is now
stated that there Is every Indication
that Salvador, Guatemala, and Costa
Rica will join forces with Honduras,
making a combination of all the other
Central American Republics against
the single state of Nicaragua.
This state of affairs has been
brought about. It Is said, through( a
conviction on the part of the govern-
ing elements In Salvador, Guatemala
and Costa Rica, that Nicaragua has
been the real aggressor In the bound-
ary dispute with Honduras, and that If
President Zelayn Is allowed to prevail
over President Bonllla he could not re-
sist the temptation to overrun the oth-
er renubllcs and make himself master
of Central America.
C. H. Adrew Found in Dying Condition
Near His Home.
Van Alstyno, Tex., March 6.—Justice
of the Peace G. T. McDonough was
called to tho home of Columbus H.
Andrew, nine miles northeast of town,
near the Rose II111 school house, to
hold an inquest over the body of Mr.
Andrew. Tho Herald reporter accom-
panied Justice McDonough. It was
learned that whilo kindling u fire to
cook breakfast Tuesday morning
about 7 o'clock Mrs. Andrew heard a
shot and on looking out of the window
saw her husband prostrate on the
ground about thirty feet from the
house with blood flowing from a
wound Just above tho left eye. Sho
gave the alarm and neighbors came to
her assistance. Tom Hansard, whoso
home Is only a short distance from the
scene of the tragedy, was the first to
arrive and found Mr. Andrew where
he had fallen with a pistol at his feet
and several cartridges on tho gtound.
Mr. Hansard examined tho injured
man and found that there was still
llfo in the body. Mr. Andrew was car-
ried Into the house and passed away
an hour later, before the arrival of a
physician. The only persons about
tho place at the time of the tragedy
were Mr. and Mrs. Andrew and an 8-
year-old son. A young Mr. Yowell,
who had been working for Mr. Andrew,
bad been at the place about fi o'clock
to see if Mr. Andrew wanted him to
work for him that day. but was In-
formed that he was not needed nnd
returnod home. The pistol, which tho
wife says belonged to her husband,
was unloaded when picked up and the
chambers contained only one empty
shell.

had lived at the place, tho farm of his
mother-in-law. Mrs. George, for six
