BOYS CHARGED WITH PERJURY PROSECUTOR THINKS THEY LIED ABOUT BUYING LIQUOR AT MILLER'S SALOON. ROBBIHS CENSURES JESSUP And War of Words Takes Place In Police Court Over Liquor Prosecutions. Two. young boys, Charles King, and Louis Kcttler, were placed under iirrest yesterday morning on the charge of perjury. These lads are both eighteen years of age and were arrested because of the belief of Prosecutor Jessup that they gave false testimony in the ease of M. K. Miller, who conducts a saloon at 199 F. Wayne avenue, and who was charged with selling liquor to minors. His ease was heard in police court yesterday morning and was dismissed at the request of Prosecutor Jessup, because of the testimony of the King and Kettler boys. Miller was represented by Attorney J. F. Kobbins. Last Wednesday night, Louis Kettler, Charles King and Koy Schaeffer attended a dance arid before goT, decided to get drunk. Harry Walters, who is of age, purchased whiskey for them. Later they de cided that more booze was necessary J and a collection was taken up" among the three boys, and King, according to a statement made to Prosecutor Jessup Thursday ; morning, purchased a pint of whiskey from M. R. Miller in his saloon. Prosecutor Jessup in preparing his affidavit against Miller, charged him with former arrest on the same charge. Mr.' Kobbins took exceptions to this and argued that liis former arrest had nothing to do with the case under investigation. After much legal sparring this charge was stricken from the affidavit. In the course of the argument, Mr. Kobbins 'attacked Prosecutor Jessup,' stating that it "was the 'first time. Wayne county had ever had a prosecutor who made a specialty of liquor cases and who was ever ready to do the bidding of a body of men who were fanatics on the liquor question." Mr. Kobbins also stated that Mr. Jessup was seeking advertisement. Mr. Jessup replied that he was not unfair to the liquor men, believing "that they had as much rights as any other class of citizens and cited an incident that came up last week in which a local saloon keeper sold liquor to a minor, but was not prosecuted because of the fact that the minor gave the appearance of being over 21 years of age. He further said that he sought no advertisement, but was only doing his duty as he saw it. The Schaeffer boy was called upon and admitted that he and the other twp boys had taken up a collection to buy a half pint of whiskey, and that the money was given to the King boy, who, he thought, bought the whiskey in the Miller saloon. He gave a thorough, straight forward story. ' The Kettler boy was next called, and to every question put to him by the prosecutor, he replied, "I don't recollect." He did not remember drinking with the other two boys; did not remember King buying any whiskey and his memory was blank as to the interview he had with Mr. Jessup, in the presence of Superin tendent Daily, Thursday morning, in ' the course of which he admitted everything he denied yesterday. The King boy, when called upon to testify, began on the same tactics adopted by the Kettler boy, but was sharply reminded by Judge Converse that he was under oath to tell the truth, -and that if he lied he would be called upon to answer to the charge of perjury. This frightened the boy a little and he admitted contributing 5 cents to a collection to buy whiskey. He also confessed that he was given the money to get the liquor, but went bick on his story told last Thursday that he bought the whiskey in the Miller saloon, stating that he got 'some old man who was standing at the corner of Ft. Wayne avenue and Eighth street, to buv the whiskey for him." Kealizing that it was impossible to convict Miller on the testimony of the principal witness, the prosecutor .asked that the case be dismissed and this action was taken by the court. v The three boys vrere allowed to go,

but shortly after Kettler and King were . placed under arrest on the charge of perjury. Tiie police expect that the boys will , sdoii " weakjtand confess to having obtainied whiskey from Miller. In case they do the charge against them will be dismissed. ' ' Judge Converse was highly indignant after the. trial and said tha he hoped the case would be thoroughly investigated, and that if it could be found that Miller had not only sold the three boys liquor, but had also been guilty of subornation of witnesses, he would be severely punished. "This thing of selling whiskey to minors and then starting them further on the road to ruin by encouraging them to lie has got to be stopped," was the emphatic statement of the judge. The penalty for subornation of witnesses is from two to twenty-one years in the penitentiary; a fine from $50 to $1,000 and disfranchisement.

BOYS MAKE CONFESSION. Tell Everything to Prosecutor Jessup Their Fate to be De cided Today. Last night Prosecutor Jessup went to police headquarters with the intention of getting some sort of a statement from young King and Kettler, the two boys arrested yesterday on a charge of ierjury. Both weakened when told that the extreme penalty might be given them and confessed exerything to the Prosecutor. King admitted that the whiskey was bought from the Miller saloon and corroborated the statement made by the Schaeffer boy yesterday morning. They also admitted that their statements made yesterday morning during the trial of Miller were made entirely to shield the bartender. ' The Prosecutor- has not decided what will be done to the boys with reference to the perjury charge but he seems to think that the boys who are young and have had no former trouble be given another chance and the charges dropped against them. It will be decided this morning just what' their fate will be. GOODRICH (Continued from Page 1.) yesterday it developed that Daniel Chapin, of Rockville, was being groomed for the Fairbanks men. For two days they had been among the delegates selected Friday and Saturday and had without any suspicion on the part of Hogate secured pledges from many of them. So thorough was the work in behalf of Chapin that a majority of the delegates were pledged to him when the convention met today and when Hogate made this discovery he refused to let his name go before the convention and Chapin was selected by acclamation. The committeemen will meet in this city on Thursday to . select a campaign chairman and Goodrich will be chosen by a vote of at least ten to three if Shideler permits his name to be submitted as a candidate.

bumnim m HI BE DISSOLVED VICTOR CHEESE CUTTER CO. INFRINGING ON PATENT OF ANDERSON COMPANY. IS DOING BIG BUSINESS Several Small Manufacturers May Fight Anderson Finn Many Others Are Effected. The Victor Cheese Cutter Company, which located in this city almost a year ago, has become involved with a manufacturing firm of Anderson and it is reported that the Anderson firm has ordered the local factory to dispose of its stock and cease to exist after March 30, or to become defendants in a suit for damages, based on infringement of patent. The Victor Cheese Cutter Co., was organized by five Anderson men, who came to Richmond and set up their shop in the building formerly occupied by the Black-board Company, at Eleventh and E streets. The capital stock of the company is $10,000, and-is divided among five men, two residing in this city, Walter A. Keebaugh and Chas. Newcomb, and three in Anderson. The company started business and did very well for the first year, turning out over twelve hundred of the cheese cutters, many of which are in use in Richmond. The cutter is a handy one and would have been a money maker had not the Anderson firm, called the Anderson Tool Co., had a better claim to the patent. The local company does not intend to contest the case but other small manufacturing companies, which are also making the cutter, arc going to make the Anderson firm prove in the court its rights to the patent.

TWO MAYORS TO ONE CITY Peculiar Situation Existing In Washington, New Jersey. Washington, N. J., Jan. 10. This city has two majors, each performing the duties of the office and each claiming to be the only legal chief executive. .The dual" mayorship is due to the failure of Dr. C. "B. Smith, who was chosen mayor at the recent election, to qualify for office, as the law requires, within ten days after election. R. M. Petty, the present mayor, whom he defeated, declares that he will not recognize Dr. Smith's right to succeed him. The two mayors held independent meetings in the same chamber, with their respective council'men, yesterday. This room is an old building directly over the fire engine house, and so large and excited was the crowd watching the rival meetings that the firemen ran their engine outdoors and propped up the ceiling for fear it would fall through. , .

JESSUP LEFT FOR K0K0M0 ! . i

TO TAKE CHARGE OF POLO INTERESTS THERE. Is to Get Large Salary and to Have Entire Control of Team. Clarence Jessup left last night for Kokomo where he will accept a position as goal tender and manager of the Kokomo polo team. The offer made to Jessup -was a flattering one and he eould not well afford to refuse it. His salary, which is large, was guaranteed him for the remainder of the season. As far as the management is concerned Jessup will have entire control and will be allowed to make any changes he may see fit. He will play his first game of the present season tonight when Kokomo meets Logansport. His team mates will be Roberts, formerly of Elwood, and Cunningham, Jr., for-j irerly of . Richmond,' rushes, Devlin,, an old Indianapolis man, is center and T.-vons, another Elwood man, is now playing half back. Jessup takes j the place at goal that has been play- , ed by Dave Cusick. Kokomo is at present standing seventh in the league and its advance ment after Jessup assumes charge is expected. CENTRAL LEAGUE STANDING. Clubs ' W. L. Pc.

SPORTING Michael O'Neill, of Scranlon, who was one of the pitchers of the St. Louis Nationals in 1904, and on their reserve list, but who refused to play there the past season, preferring the York "outlaws' has been sold to Brooklyn for $5,000. His old manager, Donovan, made the deal. The question arises, however, will he be reinstated? Manager Lajoie; of the Clevelands, is advocating white stockings for his players 'for next season. The blood poisoning from, which he suffered last summer as the result of wearing colored hose, and which may ; have cost his team the championship, is the cause of the agitation. Harry Hammond, the Springfield pitcher, has gotten in first-class5 condition for spring work by acting as sparring partner for Matty Mathews, former welterweight champion, who fought a draw in Cincinnati a few nights ago with one of the Benzenah brothers. "Nig" Smith, pitcher of the White Sox, has wired Manager Comiskey that he would not under any circumstances sign a contract to play with the White Sox again next year. He wants to go either to Washington or New York or Pittsburg in the National. Cy Young of the Boston 'Americans is said to have received a $1,500 chop in salary. The big fellow expresses himself in no measured terms against the Hub owner, but as yet has made no threats. Billy Hamilton, manager of the Harrisburg team of the outlaw league is throwing golden bait in the direction of Rube Waddell. As yet the eccentric south paw has not nibbled. Manager Clark, of Pittsburg, had lines' out for Pitcher Harper, of the Cincinnati club, but when Hanlon

EITHER BY THE TON r? of Phones 49 was engaged to manage that team he vetoed the proposition. Phil Lewis of the Brooklyns, has entered the Cornell law school, following in the footsteps of Hugh Jennings, who is a graduate of the Ithaca institution. The Sporting News is authority for the statement that Big Ed Smith, the Dayton pitcher, has been drafted by the St. Louis American leeague team. Pittsburg has completed the deal whereby Third Baseman Knabe and Pitcher Rube Kinsella go to the Toledo American association club. M. J. Finn, who managed the Toledo team the early part of last year, will be with Little Rock next season. WOMAN IS NOT INFERIOR London Scientist Shows Wherein Man Is Behind Her. London, Jan. 10. Even the most confirmed misogynist no longer has any excuse for despising the fair sex, for Dr. Bernard Hollander has demonstrated that "woman mentally is not inferior to man ; she is only dissimilar." He had many interesting things to say about "Woman: Her Brain, Mental Capacity, and Character," in a paper which he read the other night before the Ethnological soeiety. "There's no denying the fact," said Dr. Hollander, "that the average woman's brain not only is one inch less in circumference than the male brain, but it. is about five ounces lighter. This, however, doesn't denote even comparative 'lightheadedness,' because the size of the entire brain is not a measure of '.intellectual capacity at all, but is a measure of capacity of all the energies taken together. "Portions in which the difference between the male and female brains is more marked are those that have to do with the force and energy of the animal passion, all of which women possess in a less degree than men. On the other hand those portions which are concerned with the manifestations of feelings and emotions are more strongly developed in woman." Hollander then proceeded to show the difference between the brains of the two sexes, affected the social and domestic life, and paid many graceful tributes to woman's power of affection, firmness and bravery in calamity, and fortitude in time of sickness. . ".Vanity," he stated, "is greater in woman and conceit is greater in man, and again, because she can love so deeply, she can hate more fiercely. She can be generous in actions, but is riot always so in feeling, sometimes appearing as if she lacked the sense of justice. "But her refined nervous organization renders her sensibility so keen, she is quick to feel the suffering or joy of others and read by the slightest external signs what passes with11). ft 34,677 RURAL ROUTES More than One Billion Pieces of Mail Handled by Carriers. "Washington, D. C," Jan. 16. A statement prepared by P. V. DeGraw, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, regarding the operations of the rural free delivery serviee since its establishment up to Jan. 1, 1906, shows that the total number of petitions received and referred was 51,690, of which 13,125 were acted upon adversely. More than a billion pieces of mail were handled by rural carriers during- the fiscal yeear .1905. each piece costing a little less than 12 cents. The approximate net cost of the 32,055 carriers in the service for the fiscal year 1905, was $16,871,733. - '
