WHAT IS MEAIlltIG OF WOeDJ!IAIIIAS? It Is Up to the High Courts of New York to Decide the Matter Now.

Now York. March :!!. Ananias is at last to have his day in court. In a Kiiit now KndlnK tho reputation of that much maligned old gentleman will lehtahlibhod for all timo. Tho hijsh courts of thU Mate will In- called upon the decide whether Ananias was as great a liar an he has been pictured by tradition and by tho application of his name made by a certain former I'resdent. Tho Hiiit is brought by Jacob M. Kppateln, president of the Fowter DeboVolse. Company, 15 Went Thirty -eighth Street. He demands SlO.uott damagPK 'from Frank H. Pelton for being addressed an "Jacob Ananias Kppstcin." Business Quarrel. Pelton la the president of the I'yro fllgn Company, one of the institutions 'which contribute to the illumination of Broadway. Kppstein and Pelton 'have had business troubles. Kppstein Induced Pelton to take stock in the JVoBter Defoevolse Company, but there I -wan a hitch in the negotiations and iKppateln sued Pelton. After winning hln suit In the courts .Felton could not reniiit the temptation '1o gloat over his former friend He sent a postal card addressed: "Jacob Anninias Kppstein." , On the reverse side of the postal rwas written: J "Jacob Your assinlne attempt to Itet mo to pay $.100 for shares of V. P. Company Block and present same to you gratia la another miserable fail ure of youra. "No more stunts like that by me. "Oo head, get a reversal of my Judg ment against the K. I. Company If you : can. Then see If you can find any icourt that will believe your word milder oath." I Kppstein promptly engaged an attorney to bring action for libel. In hla complaint Kppstein declares that ibis "true and real name In Jacob M. iKppateln and that the term and word 'Antnlas.' which la the word the defendant misspelled 'Anninias' through jlgnorance or Inadvertence, was and .still la current and Implied In common speech In and about the City of New York and used in the newspapers and other publications, so that the public In general la well acquainted with the significance and meaning of such word spoken or written." Kppstein further alleges that the affixing of "Anninias" to his name has ao Injured his fame and credit and general reputation as to bring him into public scandal. Infamy and disgrace and make blm an object of ridicule and contempt among his employes, asaoclates, friends, acquaintances and the citizens In general. . "The only point at Issue is the general reputation of Aninlas," said Attorney Markham today. "He has been idead a long time, but will get his day 'in court at last.

CANNON FINALLY ELIMINATES SELF Mann of Illinois Likely to Be Minority's Choice for Speaker. (American News Service) Washington, March SI. Joseph G. Cannon has withdrew his candidacy for the Speakership, and is said to have relinquished the honor of even being mentioned In the caucus. For weeks his friends have been urging him to withdraw, representing to him that the best Interests of the party demanded it. but not until today did he yield. It was explained to him that it would bo distressing for the minority party to have the party thus split emphasized. It has not yet been determined how the "'let down'' will be effected. One suggestion is that at the caucus his name be proposed and t'.ius give him the opportunity to decline the honor there. A later plan is to have Chairman Currier recognise 'the gentleman from Illinois" .f r. Cannon , who will thereupon nominate his colleague. James U. Mann, who Is to be the Republican floor leader. l"u Kastern Republicans will support John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts for Speaker, and he will poll a strong vote. It is believed that the vote of the caucus will stand about as follows: Mann. !0; Weeks, tin. Roth Mann and Weeks, particularly the latter, are satisfactory to the progressive wing in the new House. John W. Dwlght. of New York, who has been the Republican whip since the retirement of Watson of Indiana, will be supplanted by John Q. Tilson. of Connecticut, a more active man. Mr. Tilson was twice Speaker of the Iiowcr House of the Connecticut legislature, and he is an expert parliamentarian and the most popular temporary presiding officer in the Republican ranks. HE WANTS HIS GIRL Richmond Youth Writes a Threatening Letter. Whether to turn Chattield Raker. 20 years old. over to the federal authorities, to call a sanity commission, or prosecute him in city court. Superintendent Gormon of the iiolice department does not know. Raker was arrested this morning, after he had written a letter to Mrs. James Stackleather. North Fourteenth street, threatening her Raker, according to the police is in love with a 20 year old girl living in the north end. Recently she went to Hamilton. O "If she don't marry me, ' states the letter Raker is alleged to have written, "she will not live. If you do not get her back I will do something to harm you." Raker offered the woman $10 to bring her back. Gormon thinks Baker is weak-minded. SANITARIUM WILL NOT BE ABANDONED That the sanitarium w hich was operated by Mrs Lydia Hazlitt on West Fifth at reel and which, it was stated In the Palladium, would be abandoned, as Mrs. Hazlitt was to locate in Nebraska, has been denied by the latter. The authorities had understood that the hospital was to be abandoned. But she a he will continue in business here. She also says she will pay the fine recently Imposed on her.

NIGHT WATCHMAN'S BOOY FOUND TODAY Discovered in the West Wing of Ruined Capitol Badly Charred. (American News Service) Albany. March 31 The charred body of Night Watchman Abbott was recovered from the debris of the fourth floor of the west wing of the capitol today. Despite the labors of a small army of workmen w ho are engaged in removing the debris from the $26,000,000 New York state capitol which was wrecked by fire early Wednesday morning, it will be weeks. and perhaps months before the structure is restored to a condition permitting permanent occupancy. The capitol fire has effectually blocked governor Dix's program to give New York state the most economical administration in recent years. One result from the fire may be an increase in the direct taxation of the state. The money necessary to rehabilitate the capitol will be made in a series of appropriations, the first of which will be $100,000. The senate chamber was best described today as " a red plush swamp." The streams of water poured into the structure which flooded this official apartment and left it in a state not only of wreckage but unsanitary as well. It will require some time to dry out the room after the debris has been removed. Legislators are expecting an emergency message from Gov. Dix which will not only embody the request for appropriations but will ask that the capital when repaired be equipped with fire-fighting devices and a fire alarm system. RANSOM WAS PAID; BOY JSJTURNEO Kidnappers of Las Vegas, N. M. Child Secure $12,000 bv Returning Him. (Amciiian News Service) Iis Vagas. X. M.. March 31. The little son of A. T. Rogers, a wealthy attorney, was returned to his home here early this morning by kidnappers after they had been paid twelve thousand dollars ransom at midnight by Rogers. The kidnappers escaped. The police are searching for them. Young Rogers is the grandson, and iheir apparent of Judge H. L. Waldo, a millionaire, living at Kansas City. He was kidnapped several days ago. The payment of the ransom was the result of a letter received from the kidnappers threatening death to the child.

Y. M. B. C. and Commercial Club Committees Draw Up a Resolution. Assurance that a company will be organized to build on a rather extensive scale in this city houses for persons of moderate means, relieving the present congested condition, was embodied in the resolution passed at the joint meeting yesterday of committees appointed by the Commercial club and the Young Men's Business club to investigate the "home problem," recommending to the two organizations that the committees be continued, with the authority to organize a company to engage in house building. The recommendation will be submitted to the two clubs at their next, meetings and it is authoritatively stated that it will be unanimously passed. Tentative plans are that about twenty houses will be built at first. A number of lots in Riverdale are being favorably considered because of their Increased desirability in case the Hawkins park project carries through while sites on the old right of way of the former K. & R. railroad in the south part of the city and in West Rich mond aie being thought of. It is proposed that the building of the houses bo entered by the company iu conjunction with tlie two building nd loan associations of Rich mond. The management of both as sociations have intimated that they would agree to the proposition. A large portion of the capital will be furnished by the loan associations. The houses will at first be rented to tenants at moderate rates, from $8 to $12 a month, with a view to having them purchase them when they are abie. The rental fees will go to the committee members as interest on the money which they put into the building of the houses. When the tenant decides to purchase the house he will pay the committee the portion of money it has interested in the structure and the balance to the loan companies, according to the usual plan. The purpose of the committee, it is therefore seen, is to provide for those who have not sufj ficient money to secure homes under I the regular system of the building 'and loans associations requiring large j first payments. Of course, there is alI so the purpose to provide more homes i i ii the city for persons of moderate means. The money secured from the sale of the houses will be used for further building. The houses will be built, it is expected, at an approximate cost of $1.niiO each. Each will have about five or six rooms. The youngest daughter of the late Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Maude Howe Klliott, the wife of John Klliott, the celebrated Knglish painter, today through her writings bids fair in many respects to equal the literary genius of her more than distinguished mother.

A MARBLE COMPANY SEEKS A LOCATION A proposition for the Commercial club or individuals in this city to capitalize an imitation marble company, the factory to be located in this city was laid before Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the club, yesterday by a Dayton, Ohio, man who is associated with others in the manufacture of that article. Owing to the high Hgure of capitalization placed by the man. $25,000, it is not believed anything will be done locally with the matter. The men who have patents on the j product are now manufacturing it wnerever xuey secure coimacia iw imitation marble work. They desire to start a factory and enter into its manufacture on a larger scale. The samples brought to this city by the man closely resembled real marble and seemed to be a high grade product.
