PARTY LEADERS PRESENT

"With Referees and Timekeepers.
Each Disputant Can Only Speak
Ten Minutes at a Time.
(By United Press.)
Chicago, July 10. Two men met in a
little room at the Illinois Club this after
noon and began a spirited contest of
national moment one fighting for silver,
the other for gold with all the intellectual
powers, facts and authorities at their
command.
One of them was Roswell G. Horr, once
a member of Congress from Michigan, now
an editorial writer for the New York
Tribune, and the other was W. II. Harvey,
of Chicago, author of "Coin's Financial
School." Mr. Horr championed the cause of
gold, while Mr. Harvey threw down the
gauntlet for silver.
The privileges of being present at this
momentous contest was accorded to few.
There were seats for about 200 persons
in the assembly room of the club house,
but only a little over half that number were
present.
Congressman J. C. Sibley, of Pennsyl
vania, a- leader of the free silver forces in
the East, occupied a prominent seat. He
will remain during the debate unlcss-busi-nesseiigagementsprevent.
SPEAKERS WERE TIMED.
Aprominentadvocateorthegoldstandard
present was A . B. Huniphrejvsecretary of
the National League of Republican Clubs.
Others present were: "W. "W. Meagher, or
the Bimetallic League; Lyman J. Gage,
rereree for Mr Horr; Ferd "W. Peck and
A. II. Revcll. or Chicago; L G. Powers, of
St. Paul; Dr. S. A. Robinson, of New York,
and Charles II Sergei, or Chicago. The last
three acted as advisors to Mr. Horr and
sat by his .side taking copious notes while
Mr. Harvey spoke.
Mr. Harvey consulted little with any
body, ne brought with him a great pile or
authorities for the purpose of subs tnnliating
statements made in his book, to which he
frequently referred.
A man with a watch sat atthe table nenr
the speakers and whenever one had spoken
eight minutes ho would tap loudly on a
call bell. This gave the speaker warning
that he had two minutes more to conclude
his statement. By theso stages of ten
minutes each the speakers will proceed for
eight days, using only the afternoons and
resting Sundays.
Dr. Homor Thomas, president or the Illi
nois Club, cnllod the assemblage to order,
briefly Betting forth tho objects of the de
bate. Ho introduced Hon. H. G. Miller
and Ex-Judge "William A. Vincent, both of
Chicago, who, ho said, would be judgeB and
at the conclusion of tho controversy de
cide who had the beat of the novel debate.
RULES OF THE DEBATE.
Mr. Millor then read the rules which are
to govern. It was, he said, tho intention
or tho speakers to deliverallogether 140,000
words. Or theso, 5,000 are to be reserved
Tor use at the end oT the discussion. This
will givo each a chance to recapitulate his
argument in 2,500 words. Three hundred
words additional will bo allowed each con
testant as a rejoinder to his adversary's
closing argument.
Mr. Miller stated that the whole discussion
was copyrighted and that, while it would bo
givon tho widest publicity through the press,
it was tho intention of tho principals to pre
serve the debate as private property and
issue It in book Torm.
The debate was started by Mr. Horr,
who rererred to the author o "Coin's
Finnncial School" with some severity.
He said ho ncvor read a book containing
so many misstatements.
Mr. Hnrvcy in his opening statement
contented himself with a presentation of
his plan of campaign and told what ho
would prove.
Mr. Horr wanted to know why the names
of prominent citizens had been used in
Mr. Harvey's book nnd words put into
their mouths that they had never used, to
which Mr. Harvey replied his book "vas
simply an allegory, and the fact that a
little boy was put in as teucher ought to
be enough to prove to any sensible person
that this was so.
Then the speakers plunged at once into
the thick of the fight. The argument at
all times was very spirited, and both
speakers several times had hard work to
preserve their tempers

JJIS "WIFE PLEADS IN VAIN.
Mrs. "W. TI. Ireland Unable to Get Her
Husband Out of Jail.
The fall at "W. H. Ireland recently, well
known here in business circles, and who
wasa prominent member for several yea rsor
the District National Guard, has been
very rapid. He is now in jail at Baltimore,
charged with rorging the name of Mayor
Latrobe, of thatcity, to a couple of checks.
The discovery that Ireland was leading a
checkered and double life was made a short
time ago, and it has falleu most heavily up-
on his wife, who has since then, from time
to time, made many sacrifices to save
her recreant husband, from disgrace and
punishment.
PLEADED FOR HEH HUSBAND.
Mrs. Irejnnrt yesterday "went to Baltimore
and pleaded long and earnestly with Mayor
Latrobe in behalf of her husband.
Sho besought him to drop the prosecution
or tho young man and to have him released.
Sho promised that ho would make an ef
fort to lead an honest life and told a piteous
story or tho sufferings and privations
which ho and hi family have endured as a
result of his misdeed.
Mayor Latrobo kindly informed the
pleading woman that he could do nothing,
as the losers by her husband's action were
tho persons who had cashed the checks
bearing the mayor's signature.
Ireland went to Baltimore several months
ago, where he engaged in employment as
an electrician, ne was under a cloud at
that time and escaped prosecution for a
criminal offense.
In November last, he was employed by
the publishers of the "Washington Law
Reporter. Hitherto there, had been no
breath of suspicion blown upon his char
acter and, therefore, there was great sur
prise when it was learned that he was
suspected of crookedness,, which culmi
nated in his arrest for embezzlement.
SHE GAVE UP HER PROPERTY.
J. II. Ralston, the lawyer, succeeded in
having the matter settled out of court by
Mrs. Ireland turning over sufficient prop
erty of her own to cover the amount taken
by her husband. :
He was afterward' given another chance
to reform by A. Maurice Xow, who em
ployed him "as collector for The Times.
His propensity for' going astray reas
serted itself. It wo- found that he had
forged the checks of several of the well
known advertisers of the paper.
Action was brought agniust him and ho
was hold for the grand jury, which later
returned an indictment against him.
In order to escape prosecution for this
offense he was permitted to go to Balti
more, where, his friends hoped, he would
turn over a new leaf.
Ireland was a familiar figure in the Center
Market armory when it "as used by the
militia, but latterly he fell into evil
courses, which quickly led him to ruin.
Fell Again into Policemen' Clutches.
Thomas P., Morris, the farmer who de
posited $10 as collatpral on Monday night
for driving on, the Ellipse, did not appear
in court yesterday. He said he was Informed
it might cost him another $10 to do so.
Instead he got drunk and was locked up
at station No. L upnrt complaint or his
brother, R. J. Morris. Jlo was given last
evening $35 which he hal In his pockets

Alexander Island Forger and a
Con' Tout Arrested.
BROOKS' BO&US $50 CHECK
He Ts a Fly Younjr Man of Eighteen
Summers "Who .Trletl to Make a
Stake at the Expense of the Nutionnl
Hotel John" "Walsh Charged "With
Fleecing a "Woman at the Baces.
Two cases came in yesterday from the
hot bed of crime about the Alexander
Island track across the river.
The first was that of Arthur "W. Brooks,
who claims to be the sou of a wealthy bi
cycle dealer In New York city. He gave
Mr. Bean, of the National Hotel, a check
for $50 in payment for his hotel bill,
$13.75 and wanted the balance in cash.
The check was signed with the came of
"George "W. Cline."
Mr. Bear looked in the safe money drawer
and remarked rii a casual maimer that
it was early and there was not money enough
in to pay the balance. He tossed the
check in the drawer and said he would hand
Mr. Brooks the balance later.
Soon after Hr. Bear disappeared from
behind the counter. It was then about 8
a. ru. Brooks waited arounS and in about
half au hour aked for Mr. Bear. Nobody
knew where he was, but Brooks was told
he was on duty and would certainly be back
soon.
HE DISAPPEARED.
Brooks began to get nervous as the hour
for banks to open came on, and about 9:15
a. m. ho disappeared. When Mr. Bear re
turned it was found that he had been to the
bank about the check and the signature
was fraudulent,
Ho sent word to the police, and Detective
Carter was put onn the case. He found
Brooks had gone to the Metropolitan and
registered in his own name and left his grip.
It was thought atitho hotel he had gone to
tho races.
The detective, however, picked him up
before he got away to Alexander Island.
Brooks said he had played the races in
New York for two years. He was at
the island Wednesday, he said, and won
$200, but on Thursday he lost $100, mid
Friday he lost nil he had. He forged the
check to get a slake, and at the same
time telegraphed his father for $25.
He said ho came here from the North
last Wednesday, but in searching his
satchel Mr. Carter found an empty jew
elry box from Rankin & Ryland, No. S09
Main street, Lynchburg, Va., and a lot
of letter paper from the Arlington Hotel
in that town. A telegram was sent there
asking if he was wanted.
Brooks is a well-dressed, smooth-faced
fellow, eighteen years old, and appears
keen-witted. His case will cdme up to
day. Ho spent the uight in a cell at No.
6 station.
The second arrest was that of John
Walsh, by Capt. Tobin, of Pinkerton's
force, and Detective Weedon. Walsh is
what is known as a "con' tout."
WOMEN ARE' HIS VICTIMS.
Ho plays a confidence game in the
grandstand and his victims are usually
women.
He has been here and underlsurveillance
several days. He yesterday made a bet
for a woman who lives on Missouri avenue
of $10 on Oporto at 4 to 1. When the
finish was annouueed and Oporto was
first he cashed the ticket.
When he came back he handed the woman
a ticket,' saying it was "no good." It
read "India Rubber."
She insisted that she had bet on Oporto
but he declared she was mistaken. She
told him ery well, tho matter would be
investigated .
She put the case i n the hands of the police
and Walsh was arrested here.
Walsh declares still that tho ticket he
bought for tho woman was on --'India
Rubber. " It is noted that the best odds
on Oporto yesterday was 10 to 1.
