Winiam ii. Brown Asserting that His Ar rst Was One to Polities. Drntorr, March Id Special William Brown of the firm of Brown Leeton in Mount Pleasant, who baa been arrested for cutting timber on the Indian reservation in Mount Pleasant County, asserted today that the criminal prosecution instigated by political opponents, and the authorities have discriminated against him because he Is a Republican. He says his partner is a Democrat, and the criminal charge was commenced against both of them, but the casa against Leeton was dropped. Brown ia charged with cutting 70,000 feet of timber converting it to his own use.

He was admitted to bail on his own recognizance, being wealthy and not at all likely to fail to appear when wanted. There are already two civil actions in the United States Court oue against Brown and one against the firm. Mr. Brown arrest was a great surprise to him, Bupoosing me action would be a civil one. Brown denies his guilt, and says it la persecution.

Assistant State's; District Attorney Wil-kins said: 44 There is no politics in this' court. It was found that Leeton could not convicted and criminal proceedings against him were accordingly dropped. Joha Freeney, a colored resident of Mount Pleasant, was arrested last year for me same offense. He was convicted in me United States District Court ia Detroit last fall for cutting and stealing wood from me Indian reservation mere. Brown, wno is a lawyer, defended Freeney.

Freeney, it is said, purchased the right to cut the timber from trown. who, it is alleged, deceived him to the ownership.

Annie Hermann's trial for conspiracy ruin two young girls occupied the entire of Judge Horton's court yesterday, and not yet finished. Sigmund testified in a straightforward way. He said he met Kittle Sievers at Mrs. Hermann's one evening in a social way. The next evening Mrs.

Her mann told him Kittie was in lovo with him wanted to marry him. They had some passages, which ended in their going and taking out a marriage license. They did not marrv then because had no money to pav the minister. They went to Mrs. Hermann's and occupied room together that niht The next nisht they were out lato together and she could get into the house where she worked.

They finally went to his bnardinir-hoasa and slept together there in a room with another man. Ihen Ida Brede told him Kittie's confessions regarding her Mfe a bouse of ill- lame and as the mistress of a young Irishman. Mrs. Hermaun substantiated this and she confessed when he taxed her witn it- Then he burned up the license in anger and never saw her after. mltpil him vicious on cross-examination for his conduct in iorsakmg her lor guilty acta when he had himself so sinned with her.

Charles Busse, the other he was married Dec. 5 last. He first met Kittie Sievers at Mrs. Hermann's ia November. Ho spent an evening there card-playing, quitting when it was too late to get any more beer.

Being locked out at home he went back and Mrs. Hermann let him sleep on a lounge. Presently she made him a proposition of a business nature, wnich she said came from Kittie. he attack which she charged upon him he emphatically denied. He had no more intercourse with Kittie after that.

A few days after Sigmund showed him a piece of paper ithe license) and said he was married to kiltie. Busse is a Frenchman, with as little knowledge of German as English. His story seemed bear the impress of truth, and its details, which cannot be published, would convict Mrs. Hermann of all the attempts to corrupt these girls with which she is charged. In the afternoon the State, after argument, nolled the third of tne eleven counts, proceeding under the other eight-John Krauss, whose father owns the building No.

273 Blue Island avenue, said Mrs. Hermann once had an office there. She was ejected because of her bad character and her habit of having men and women there in an indiscriminate way. During this evidence Mrs. Hermann became greatly excited.

She caught her attorney, Moses Salomon, by the coattail several times, dragged herself to her feet, and jabbered so excitedly in German that at one time it took four bailiffs to bring her to order. There were frequent tilts also between counsel, which made it rather lively. Fighting over the admission of evidence at one lime, Mr. Salomon said: 44 1 suppose everything the prosecution wants will have to go in." 44 Mr. Salomon." said Jndge Horton, severely, "a repetition of that remark and you will be given just one minute to re tract." Then apologies followed as a matter of course.

Another time Mr. Salomon hinted that the State had been tampering with a witness. 44 II any man says I've been fooling with a witness I'll give the court a chance to fine me for contempt In about two minutes while i setue wiln him," broke in tttate's-Atloroey Neeley, his hair standing on end like quills upon me ireuui porcupine. JUatrina agner, who keeps the house oi questionable repute at No. 554 SSouth Clark street, which Kittie was said to be an inmate of, said Kittie was simply a dishwasher there.

lne testimony was closed late in the alter- noon. Attorney Menchell of the oman Protective Association making the opening argument to the jury for the State. As Judge Horton is on the South Side Saturday, the case will not be finished until Monday. KRS. CURRY' 8 THEATRE PARTY Entitled to Sit In Any Tart of the House An Appeal.

The suit of Josephine M. Curry against Manager Baylies of th-3 People's Theatre was concluded in Judge Waterman's court yesterday. An important question had been raised by counsel at the close of Thursday's hearing as to whether the policy of the theatre in alloling certain portions of the theatre to colored people wa admissible as a legal act and could be taken as evidence for de fendant. This being tne first case tried un der the law of 16S5, the Jndge reserved his decision until yesterday morning, when be read a lengthy ruling on the question. 44 The Civil Rights act 01 inn," said tne Judge, 44 provides that all persons shall be entitled to equal enjo.tment 01 tne accommodations afforded by carriers, innkeepers, theatres, etc.

It is cortended that the proprie- tcr of a theatre may show that tne location of bis theatre is such and the character of his patrons of such a kind teat in order to carry on a respectable place of amusement and to maintain order it is necessary that colored people be seated by themselves; that the accommodations uffordeo them are equal to those given other patrons, and that re quiring them to sit in a particular quarter of the theatre is not due to any prejudice against them, but is a reasonable regulation necessary and proper." The Judge quoted cases that nave oeen de cided in the Supreme Court the issues 01 which were somewhat analogous to tne case in point, though not under the same act. 44 This act, however, expressly stipulates mat all persons shad be entitled to equal accommodations at ail public places, and makes it a nenal offense to deny to any citi zens, except for reasons regardless of color or race, any of the privileges so specified. To refuse colored people tnereiore me use 01 a certain portion of the theatre is a distinct violation 01 mis law, ana showbu bv the court would do tantamount to declaring tne law anvuuu. nuumuug however, the premises set ionn Dy tne ae-fendant that in order to maintain a respectable place of amusement, located as his theatre fs, it is necessary to establish a color line, and set apart one portion of the house for whites and me otner ior coiureu, mo norance and prejudice which call for such a separation cannot overrule the law. The practice 01 rauroaa couiikiuics special cars for colored people and prohibiting their riding with whites is discrimina- tion contrary 10 uio iw.

iu Even if they afford equal accommodations in me places reserved for mem me practice is tinluat discrimination. 1 have no doubt that tne defendants lound and do find difficulty. placed as they are in mat locaiu.v, in umiu- laining a resectable nouse. dui, hu barouslawsof discrimination agaiast jc in me Old World and against negroes both worlds are, in the ligm 01 trie nineteenth century, fast passing away.

The Executive Committee of the Cook County Woman's Suffrage Society held a meeting in the club-room of the Sherman House yesterday. There were eight present, and they gossiped and chatted and had a regular church-sociable time, but a searching investigation failed to show that tney transacted any great amount of business. They chatted for about half an hour ia an informal way, and then the Chairman remarked courteously I think we had better come to order. Don't you think so, dearf" And the lady on her left replied sweetly: Yes, love. Your suggestions are always excellent" Will the ladies kindly come to order asked the Chairman, and she tapped the table gently with her gloved hand.

There was a moment's silence and then they began to chat again. The subject was the proposed convention in Washington and who was going to it. There were no motions, and every one talked as she Dleascd. When all got talking at once the Chairman, with fine sarcasm, would exclaim Ladies, we will have a social visit after we have adjourned." Then they would proceed with the social visit then and there. The only serious trouble experienced was in finding out whether one of the delegates was going or not.

"Have yon called on her!" asked the Chairman of the lady who had been deputed to do this. No, dear," replied the one addressed. I couldn't do it, for she hasn't returned my last call yet." 44 Of course you couldn't," said the Executive Committee in chorus. I think, dears." said the Chairman. that we will have to appoint some one who owes her a call to notify her." But the matter was finally compromised by sending her a postal card.

The method of getting to Washington was then discussed, and it was decided that one party should go by the Baltimore Ohio Railroad at 3:20 p. m. Thursday. Two other parties will leave by the Pennsylvania Road Wednesday and Thursday, but the hour was not decided upon. Miss Caroline A.

Huling, No. 55 Dearborn street, is making all the arrangements, and the names of those desiring to go should be sent to her. It was also decided that a series of conventions in- the rurai districts should be held under the auspices of the society. This was all the business that was transacted. They then reverted to a general discussion of the Washington trip and how to get the best view of Niagara Falls, and all was contusion again.

The entire Executive Committee had the floor, and seemed determined to hold it. The Chairman took in the situation and alter a few lutile efforts to preserve order said The meeting is adjourned, ladies." It was her only alternative. The program of the Washington Council, March 25 to April 1. was received and discussed at length, and it was decided, without a dissenting voice, that the newspapers were not paying enough attention to this 41 grand gathering, the grandest the world has ever known." TEACHERS IN COUNCIL. Discussing Objects and Methods of Instruction In the Public Schools.

Galesbcro, 111., March 16. Special. Fully 600 teachers are in attendance on tne fourth annual meeting of the Central Illinois Teachers' Association now in session in the Circuit Court-House here. A large number of citizens have also been attracted to the meeting, which today was of great interest. The President, E.

R. Boyer of Champaign, presided and opened the session with aa able and interesting address, in which he advocated manual training and greater attention to moral and civic instruction. In closing he said that the pupil has a right to know why trains cannot run and what is meant by a strike, when the commercial and industrial world can be paralyzed by an order to a brotherhood, and that long before a nation is pausing breathless while a poor victim is paying the death penalty for false notions of the principles of free speech, liberty, and equality, the public schools should have taught the true principles of these constitutional rights. This sentiment was applauded. The entire afternoon was consumed by a spirited discussion of the relative merits of class and individual instruction in schools.

The class side was upheld by J. W. Hayes of Urbana, Prof. Moore of Champaign, Col. McClannahan of Galva, George Selby of Macomb, Prof.

Michener of Orion, and Judson Leslie of Peoria, while in favor of individual instruction were N. C. Dougherty of Peoria, J. W. Hayes of Urbana, SuDerintendent Shawhan of Champaign, and others.

Prof. Hayes read a radical paper on the subject which would tend to do away with classes and revolutionize the present system, while Superintendent Dougherty claimed that the ignoring of individuality and originality in the school-room is a great danger and accounts for the death of Kets, orators, and scholars, and the common dead-level of thought, as in China. This evening Dr. Richard Edwards, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Newton Bateman addressed the teachers. DR.

COX'S DIABOLICAL ACT. It Is Declared the Acid Was Carbolic and the Ellis Girl Will Sot Be Disfigured. St. Loos, March 16. The action of Dr.

George M. Cox of Springfield, in Iouring acid on Effie Ellis still continues to be the subject of comment, and owing to the grossly exaggerated reports sent abroad the woman has come in for a good deal of sympathy and the doctor has been vigorously cried down. The facts of the matter are that the woman is but slightly injured, and will not be disfigured to any extent or lose the sight of either eye, though she may quit fooling with a frenzied physician and father. The acid used was carbolic and caused a good deal of smarting and weakness in the eyes. The doctor intimates now that it was not he that was in the carriage, and flatly denies the assertion that he lured the girl to.

Surlngfield. On the other hand, he says' she came of her own volition, and he writes a pathetic letter calling on mankind to protect their homes from, invasion of such desperate characters. It is 841 parent that he was driven to desperation, and it is likewise ascertained that Belle O'Dowda alias Effie Ellis, is a brazen creature and was after money early and often. Dr. Baudrey, a high authority in nervous and mental disorders, says in a card that in his opinion Dr.

Cox was worked into a state of mental frenzy that caused him to be nearly irresponsible for the while. Dr. Cox pronounces his boy Fenton a fit subject for an asylum ana is taking means to place him in one. Through the whole crisis the doctor has made no effort to conceal his whereabouts, and is now with his family in Soringfield. Stevens.

The appropriation of 112,000 recommended by Supervising-Architect Freret for the Chicago Post-Omce will, Internal-Revenue Collector Stone says, enable the building to be put into much better shape than it is now, although it is insufficient for the needed enlargement.

If an additional clerical force is put on it will be impossible to find accommodations for them in the Post-Office. It will be raw and chill today, and the chances are that the St. Patrick' s-Day procession will not have a merry time of it.

There will probably not be a large turn-out, as the feeling that processions are a waste of time and monev is steadily growing. Those who do turn out will start about a from the havmar-ket square and go along Lake. Dearborn, Adams, Halsted, and Blue Island avenue to Twelfth street.

Warren because bill of particulars had not been furnished. "Warren was indicted with the convicted County Commissioners on a charge of complicity, he being the electric-light contractor.

There is really no case against him, as the United States Court has already decided. Judge Horton gave the State ten days in which to furnish a bill.

A meeting will be held at the Grand Pacific Sunday afternoon to consider what can be done toward securing the National Single-Tax Conference for Chicago.

It is to be held July 4. Other cities want it, and all the clubs of Chicago have invited it, but it is understood that pledges for its proper entertainment must be made. St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Indianapolis have already taken steps in that direction. The conference is eipected to have a considerable attendance from all parts of the country, some estimating the probable crowd at from 20,000 to 25,000.

As the local single-tax men feel that the conference would give their cause a big boom, an earnest effort will be made to secure it.

Curious Incidents Im Relation to the Old Charge Against Margie Clark In the Notorious Bonn-Berg Alleged Blackmailing Case How the Warrant Was Served by an yndeputlsed Officer Sweeney's Fee alia Actions. Justice Lyon's court-room was crowded yesterday afternoon. A hundred or more in terested spectators squeezed into a space scarcely large enough to accommodate a score.

They ail were anxious to catch every word of testimony in the conspiracy case against Justice Thomas Sweeney, Johu Berg, J. O'Shea, P. Mahoney, and William Marshall, accused of conspiring to injure Maggie Clark by imprisonment and forcing her to confess herself guilty of a crime of which she was innocent. Attorneys Stephen Douglas Jr. and Charles Dwight represented the people and Donohue and Sears represented the defendants.

Detective Bruce was there and glared at J. Von Arnold, who was a witness for the prosecution. CoL Thomas E. C. Tyron testified that Nov.

last, when a detective in the employ of von Arnold's Detective Agency, ne arrested Mageie Clark on a warrant sworn out before Justice Sweenev. This was about 11 o'clock tho forenoon. About 8 o'clock he went to Justice Sweeney and told him that he had not been deputized as an officer and the arrest was illegal. Sweeney replied that this was all right and he gave tne witness a letter deputizing him to act as constable. Sweeney said the letter was perfectly good, and if it was not sufficient he would put tne deputize tion on the back of the warrant.

Subse- auentlv Tvron asked Sweeney to "back the warrant, as he had discovered that the letter of deputization was no good. There was always some excuse and the warrant could never be found until the last day o' the examination in the conspiracy case against Von Arnold. Then the latter handed the witness the warrant apparettUy, properly backed under date or rov. 13. i Then C.

J. Von Arnold was called and went into the whole history of the Bonns-Berg conspiracy case. Berg claimed that Maggie Clark bad come to mm at his omoe and forced him to give up $50, and said that she was prepared to charge him with attempted criminal assault, on Arnold toon the case, and when the evidence had been about all collected Attorney O'Shea and Constable Mahoney entered the detective bureau and discussed the matter. O'Shea suggested that the case be tak en before Justice Eberhardt, but Mahoney said 44 Tom would be belter 44 4 O. ves' said O'Shea, Sweeney is the Then Berg said that he did not care to give the matter any publicity, and O'Snea said that could be fixed by making the defendants sign a paper.

The warrants were issued Wednesday and served Saturday, Davidson and witness were deputized by Sweeney in a letter to serve them. Tyron was not deputized in a proper manner until two weeks later." 44 How did that come about!" the witness was asked. Well, I went to Sweeney and told him the fix we were in, and be fixed the warrant, which I banded to Tyron and which he gave to Justice Lyon. "After Mr. and Mrs.

Boons and Jennie Kress were arrested Saturday and locked up in my private office O'Shea came in and asked them to sign an agreement not to do anything to Berg. They were given the alternative of doing this or going to JaiL They took tne matter under consideration. Then Sweeney came in and asked if they had a bondsman ready. He said that there was no desire to prosecute and advised them to sign the paper. Tney refused, and he went away.

About 1:30 o'clock the following day (Sunday; Maggie Clark was brought in, and 1 sent for Sweeney to sign bonds. He didn't come until about 6:: o'clock that evening. Maggie said she could not give bonds. I "had been up all the preceding night, and said I could not stay up that night too. Then Sweeney said 4 Well, unless she signs the paper she will have to go to jaiL 4 Send me to JaiL replied Maggie, and Sweeney sat down and made out a mittimus, which he handed to Tyron.

Then be turned to me and said that it would not do to send her to jaiL" 44 Sweeney said thisf asked Mr. Dwight. "Yes; but it was all a bluff. I took the mittimus away from Tyron, and Sweeney told Maggie that the easiest way would be the best. Then she signed the paper and was released." 44 Was anything said about money Yes.

cjne day Sweeney and I had been drinking a lew glasses of wine across the street and had returned to my office. Berg came in and Sweeney said that he had been ud nights on the case and there ought to be something in it tor him. Berg said that he would pay him tiuo." Here an adjournment was taken, and Von Arnold stepped off the witness stand. He walked up to Constable Gleason and said, 44 1 hear you have a warrant for my arrest. Here I am." 1 don't want you," replied Gleason.

Then Von Arnold went into Justice Bray- ton's office across the hall and gave himself 1 he uttie episode was tne result of information given Von Arnold by his attorney. Stephen A. Douglas to the effect that Gleason held a warrant which a short time previously had been sworn out before Jus tice Bravton by M. M. Curry.

Hood of the Law Department has re ported that the police court nnes lor February were SVAJO. as against (3.528 for the same period last year. The increase Is ascribed mostly to tne change of venue system, ana not to an in crease of crime. The saloonkeepers in the county towns in Cook County are expectea to pay an annual 11 cense, the foe to be paid the County Treasurer and placed in a fund lor the use of the town in which the saloon is located.

A week ago last Monday the little daughter of John Delaney of No. VI Ohio street was hor ribly burned while playing around a fire In the yard. Delaney is a poor man and was unable to purchase the expensive surgical tire lining, and for many days has been running from the County Agent to the Warden of the Honpitat. Yesterday he appealed to the Pubilo Service Commit tee and his request was granted. lie was given an order on Warden Stephens for the supplies and went home happy.

There were other Judge ments also which bad met a similar fate. I am opposed to allowing any irresponsible corpora tion to tear up our streets, said Aid. The whole matter was referred to the Council.

44 These great and glorious reformers have got the West Side in a pretty fix now, haven't they?" said Aid. campoeu yesterday, and he looked as if he meant it. 44 See what Ham line and his crowd have done, he continued. They have simply mulcted the city about a quarter of a million dollars for the corporations, and enabled themselves to pose In tne public press as great reformers. When we had an opportunity to get gas at these great reformers monkeyed around and compelled the West Side to pay (1.30.

I say it is an outrage. And not only do the consumers have to nav tens of thousands of dollars extra. but the city's bill is largely increased. Then look at the cable ordinance. It hasn't been accepted and nobody ever supposed it would be.

Franks as first choice, and Albert liauers and William Lang as men worthy in every way provided Franks should be rejected. The Supreme Court decision on me annexation question Is not worrying tbe Republican managers, as it leaves their city organization as it was and only Interferes with tne town. This will probably give Hyde Park a representation on the South Town ticket, but neither Cicero nor Jefferson has ny candidates in the West Town.

Some of the Democrats are disposed to rejoice because they have a wholesome fear of the increased Republican majority which me annexation of suburban towns will give to the city, and they are boasting that Harrison will be tbe next Mayor. This talk is simply for the purpose of encouraging the discomfited Democrats on the South and West Sides to nominate tickets this spring so as to bring out me party vote and thereby assist the Aldermanic aspirants.

The party has wanted an organ, and the demand has not been acceded to, but we are going to give Democrats a paper tney can read. We will give them straight doctrines and our policy will be heartily in accord with the Administration. There has not been a Democratic newspaper here for years and ours will take like not cakes.

Rome and tho United States. The Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, lectured last evening before the Young People's Association of the First Congregational Church, his subject being A Chapter in the History of Liberty." The program of the evening included a violin solo by Master Harry Diamond, song by Miss Josephine Taylor, and trio for piano, and violin by Miss Constance Locke, Prof. Hattstaedt, and Master Diamond.

Mr. Gunsaulus referred to a foreign writer who mentioned the Cradle of Liberty" as suggesting a possibility of old age and death. "But the Cradle of said the speaker, is larger than Old Massachusetts. There are people in the present who say that liberty and God are not to be spoken in the same breath; that every utterance in the Bible is against human freedom. But this is no stranger than looking at the Czar of Russia as the exponent of law and order, and tne Anarchist as the same of liberty." Rome with all its wickedness was taken up, with tne assertion that it should be the pride of every heart loyal to liberty that Christianity made Rome impossible.

Rome was pronounced a political institution, and the same influences that were her ruin threaten America today. Rome fell because so many of her people had no interests in great purposes, but were narrow, selfish, and corrupt. The Health and Borne Lot Gift Scheme. In The Teibuxe of yesterday was published an interview with the publisher of Health and Home, one W. H.

Hale, M. relative to the gift to each subscriber to the paper of a lot 25x125 in a town Santa Margarita, said to be located in County, CaL Dr. Hale, in the course of the interview, declined to state how many acres he owned, how much he paid for the property, or how many lots he had given away. Other pertinent questions he answered with the same charming frankness. Mr.

Ralph E. Hoyt, President of the California Cooperative Colony, under date of Jan. 25, wrote froai Los Angeles to a friend in this city, by whom he had been requested to investigate Dr. Hale's free lot scheme: The Southern Pacific Railroad officers do not recognize or know of any such town or station on their road as Santa I had a lone talk with Mr. John McKeloy of this city on the subject.

He is an intelligent and perfectly reliable man. He lived lor several years at Bakersfield and knows the character of every acre of land in that vicinity. He says there is no spot 4 five miles Irom Bakersfield in either direction, that is fit for a town site, or where an alleged 4 town lot' would be worth 10 cents. With these facts irom reliable, disinterested parties, I cannot look upon the Santa Margarita 4 lot scheme with favor. It is probably a nlan to simply obtain subscriptions to a paper which cannot live on its own naked merits.

As a rule, I think, a town lot rated at only $1 is not worth an obstruction built across a stream to turn the water in another channel, or words to that effect." Cully" Friest Is Captured. Charles Priest, alias Cully," was brought into the County Jail by Detective Amstein yesterday afternoon. Two years ago Jeru-sha Johnson and Nellie Schock, who roomed on Eidridge court, reported to the police that they had been robbed of about $10,000 worth of diamonds by some "gentleman friends" whom they had been entertaining. Priest, Bunk Allen, Joe Harris, and Charles Kinney were arrested, indicted, and tried. The women had gone to New York in the meantime and had to be brought back to testify.

Allen turned State's evidence and was let off. Harris pleaded guilty and took a year in the penitentiary. Priest was out on $2,500 bonds furnished by Louis Battel of the Best Brewing Company. At the afternoon session Priest was missing, and was not seen again until yesterday, The Jury in the case returned a verdict against Priest of five years in the penitentiary, and the sentence stiil stands. Last week Mr.

Bartel received certain information, upon TChirh Amstein was sent to Ironton, Mich. Amstein found his man at Ironton. Priest was living under the name of Neil Powers. He" had a saloon, and had become popular the county. He was Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, and at the last election for Probate Judgehad been beaten by only forty votes.

His friends there were to prevent Amstein's taking him, but the local Sheriff took the detective's part. The search for and capture of the prisoner has cost Bartel about $700. The officers say that Priest escaped so long because some one near the throne gave him notice of every move. SUBURBAN. Kensington.
