FACTS DRIVEN HOME State Introduces Many Wit nesses to Corroborate Edwards' Story "STEERERS" ON STAND Police Officers Testify to Arresting ■ of Edwards and Taking Him to the Chief's Office Instead of Central Station. The state got out its little hammer yesterday and drove a few more tacks into the indictment charging Jrwin A. Gardn?r with having received a bribe of $i»J>) from certain 'big mitt" men, and When the day's work was finished At torney Al J. Smith said he was satis tied with the progress for the day. On the other hand, the defense appears to be somewhat disgusted with the reg ularity with which the state puts wit ness on the stand who corroborate, in. part if not wholly, the story told by "Billy" Edwards when on the stand in direct examination. In many cases they are unable to tell the story just as Ed- Warda did, but thvey bring out certain points in the story that make Edwards' story look true The defense still continues to enter ob jections to many questions, and is in variably overruled by the court. Excep tions are always noted, and in each case their objections are made so strongly that it is apparent they want them to appear as part of th« records in the Edwards. Howard and Crossman were all in the court room yesterday, and were interested listeners in the proceed ings. Edwards at times was of consid, erabie assistance to Atorney Smith when Ihe latter got an unwilling witness on the stand, whose memory was defective and did not actually know what had oc curred at a certain point in the proceed ings, Smith would consult with Edwards, and then, in a few well directed ques tion, the witness 1 memory would be re freshed so that he could answer the questions that were put to him. Loomffl Surprised Them. The first witness for the state yester day morning- was Attorney A. P. L,oomts, who defended Edwards and Howard when they wore found guilty of swindling be fore Judge Harrison. He was asked in regard to a conversation between him self and Gardner about the time that the first indictments were returned against Edwards and Howard. He said: "Mr Gardner said that he had been told by Crossman to come and see Loomia, about some money, that which had been paid fjr someone else to have it returned to them. He said in a general way that tney had paid about $500 for the privilege of doing some work for a number of weeks. The privilege had been with drawn, and there v/as a rebate amount ing to $300 which was due. The money was piid to some high police officials." The witness testified that he had sever al talks with Gardner in relation to the "big mitt" joints and houses of prosti tution, and what his duties were in con tion with the police department and these places. He also testified as to his con nectlon with the Mcix draft, and as how he had been engaged by Edwards and Howard to settle the matter with Mclx, which he did by giving Mcix about $4uO cut of the $775 draft. Of the $375 he re ceived $125 for his services, and the bal ance was turned over to his client. Edward M. Connor was placed on the etand and was cross-examined by the de fense. He testified as to the knowledge lie had with reference to the "big mitt" joints being in operation, and of certain mi .rmation given him by Edwards on one occasion of his visit to their place of l'usinoss at 39 Washington avenue south. He also told the story of the Bonge deal, and the connection which Bonge had with attempting to show up the administration. He also swore to having talked with the chief of police and the mayor regarding the story which }?e intended to submit to the paper for publication which related to the crooked ness of the police department. He did this in order to give them a chance to defend themselves or set the matter etraiffht. Corroborntive Evidence, Police Officer Rhodes was the first wit ness called in the afternoon. His testi mony was largely to corroborate the statement of Edwards regarding a grip that had been taken from their place of business at 32 South Sixth street, and was later left at the confectionery .store of Carrie Emerson by Norbeck, where Edwards received it in the presence of the oflicer. Officer I»ong was next called by the state, and he gave the circumstances of the arrest of Edwards at his joint, 32 South Sixth street, and taking him to the police headquarters, and of leaving him there with the chief. He could not, however, give a satisfactory explanation t f why he took the prisoner to headquar ters instead of to the jail, as is the usual custom. This seemed like a strong point for the state from an unwilling witness. George A. Harvey, a plain clothes man, was the next witness to take the stand find tell his story regarding a draft of $275 that he was detailed to locate and return to the rightful owner. The draft was lost in a gambling game at Ed wards' place. Edwards had told on direct examination that Norbeek had got this draft, and it was through him that Harvey got it. This fact was corrob orated by Harvey. This made anothei score for the state. APOSTLES TIRXED OUT SOBLY. Thousands Prom the Sister City Vis ited Elks' Fair.

Sundays—lo a. m. to 12. official staff of the down river town per mitted themselves a day off and arrived at 2 p. m. on a special Interurban car. They were met by a committee of Elks headed by Mayor Ames and were escorted thiough the show, every feature and ex hibit of which, from the breathless whirl of the wonderful cycle dazzle to the stray organ grinder dancing his di.ty monkey along the crowded street, wa 3 under orders to do or die in the endeavor to make the visitors enjoy themselves. St. Paul people generally were out in force. As one of the overworked con ductors on the Interurban expressed it: "He never knew there were so many folks at the other end of the line." In addition to this the local attendance was vastly larger than on either of the pre ceding days. About 27,010 afternoon and evening were the figures out at the count ing booth on the grounds lasknight. The thick of the throng developed at about 9:30. when the entire stretch between the brilliantly lighted booths along the indus trial street leading to the Midway was an almost unbroken mass of humanity moving in two continuous opposite streams. Within the area embraced by the tents of the Midway performances the crowd was Wfdged about the central platform where the Moorish acrobats were execu ting their strange dances and remarkaMs feats of agility, and the dainty lady en the balanced ladder smiled upon them in various dizzy attitudes to the mock ter ror of her co-partner, the clown. Another disappointment awaited the many visitors in the second failure of the "loop the loop" performance to mate rialize in spite of repeated announcements that the feat would be pulled off ;-«>**.•• day. It was given out that the cie ay was due to the fact that a mistake hai been made in constructing the loop at irs first erection and the change could not fee completed before this afternoon, when the performance is positively promised to come off. i: \«.l.i;s GET DOWX TO BI'SI\ESS. Yesterday Was Principally Devoted to Report)* of Committees. The Fraternal Order of Eagles got dewn to business yesterday. In ihe morning the report of the committee on credential* was made and accepted. Sev eral proxies were thrown out because they had been improperly drawn. At the afternoon session the reports of general officers were presented. The re port of the grand secretary showed an in crease of 712 aeries, and an in crease in membership oi' 20,258 for the year.

Cash on hand is $94,942.04, and total a.ssets, $200,570. Thtre is considerable rivalry developing regarding the choice of the next grand worthy president. The friends of J. li. Schwatka, of Baltimore, say that they have 400 votes pledged already and are working en the basis of "rotation in office" for their candidate. At today's meeting there will be an amendment to the constitution presented which will provide that no grand presi dent may succeed himself in office. If this is adopted it will compel the present incumbent, Del Gary Smith, to withdraw frcm the race- and leave the coast prac tically clear for Schwatka. In case there is a deadlock in regard to the choice of president, A. P. Loomis the local candidate, may be selected as a compromise. L.ast evening an imposing street pa rade was given by the Eagles, and was witnessed by thousands of people along the line of march. The ladies of the eagles accompanied the delegates in car riages.

Expert Testimony of Physicians Knocks Out State's Case. Andrew Landseth, who was on trial in Judge Simpson's court charged with mur der is a free man. The case was dis missed yesterday morning on a motion of the county attorney. The reason for the dismissal was expert testimony given by physicians who attended Peter Han sen. They claimed that his death was due to erysipelas, and that it was im possible to say whether the wound he received in the saloon brawl in which Landseth bit a piece out of Hansen's cheek was the direct cause. Dr. Phillips said that a wound or even an abrasion of the skin was not neces sary to the development of erysipelas which was a specific contagious disease. Hansen received immediate medica* at tention, at which antiseptics were ap plied, but erysipelas set in and he died a few days later. AMES MIST STAND TRIAL. He Is Charged W4tU Receiving v f25 Bribe.

MORE JOIN STRIKE Engineers, Firemen, Pump men Are Obeying Or ders to Quit Work MAY BE A WATER FAMINE Colliery at Nanticoke, Which Sup plies Town With Water, Forced to Shut Down —Several Work men Stoned by Strikers. WII.KF.SIJARRE, Pa., June 4.—More engineers, firemen and pump runners obeyed the call of the Miners' union and struck today, but in most instances the coal company officials were able to fill the places of the strikers. The Sus quehanna Coal company's Colliery No. 5, at Nanticcke, was the -worst sufferer, all the firemen refusing to go to work, which compelled the company to shut down the engines. This colliery furnishes the power for the water supply of Nanticoke, and unless the engines are again started the bor ough will have a water famine to con tend with. There was a slight fire in the town today, and as the fire alarm is sounded by meaus of a colliery whis tle, there was considerable trouble and deiay before the volunteer firemen could be called to the scene of the fire. The company, it is said, will allow its mines to fill with water and let the borough get its water supply as best it can. Workers Are Stoned. It was comparatively quiet in the Wy oming valley today. There was the usu al gathering of crowds at several col lieries at starting and stopping time, but nothing: of a sorious nature occurred. Some men were stoned on their way to and from work, and several were thrown into pools of water. The fear of bodily ha.rm is causing more men to quit work, than are the arguments of the strikers. President Mitchell was kept busy all day in his headquarters. He had noth ing to say regarding his \isit to Scran ton last night, where he met Frank P Sargent, chief of the locomotive firemen'- Regarding the general strike situation, he said everything was progressing satis factorily; that more -men were coming out each day, and that the idle men are behaving themselves well. .■* :In emphasizing the latter statement; 1 Mr.Mitchell said the chief of the Wilk«- 3 barre police told him that during the twenty-one days the strike had been on there have been fewer arrests than dur ing the same number of days prior to the suspension of work. Among the arrests that were made, not one was a miner. t The national president had no comment to make when informed that the New York board of trade had decided to ask President Roosevelt to take up the task : cf trying to end the great struggle.

DENIES HE IS INTERESTED L.aw Practice at Manila. Would I'ay ! Him Much Better Than Does His Mission to Washington, ; He Asserts. - 'WASHINGTON', June 4.—Senor Buen canimo today continued his statement be fore the committee on insular affairs, ac knowledging the address to the American congress made by him advocating Phil ippine independence. He said the origi nal document showed that he wrote it as Aguinaldo's secretary. He said he mght be obliged to divulge some secrets of Agoncillo and Lopez. He stated there were four Filipino agents abroad, work ing at odds and making independence impossible. Some sharp talk occurred between Chairman Cooper and Representative Jones over questions pat to the witness, especially regarding religious matters in the Philippines. Chairman Cooper asserted that tho question put by Representative Jones to the witness was a plain and palpabl* attempt to arouse religious prejudice. Mr. Jones commented on the fact that the witness, -who had: changed h s views, "enjoyed a fat office," while Aguinaldo was a prisoner. Senor Buencanimo stated that he as well as Aguinaldo ha.il been captured, and that he was alive today was due to the humanity of the American army. Palace for a Prison. The witness said Aguinaldo had a pa! ace for a prison. It was formerly occu pied by Commisioner Worcester, and the government paid $500 Mexican per month as rental for it. It is as large as the White house in Washington. The witness said Aguinaldo lived in this house with his family, with a physician at his dispo sal, a retinue of servants, a carriage and an allowance to provide food for the es tablishment. Senor Buencanimo resented the sugges tion that a government office had influ enced his testimony favorable to the United States, and declared that his law practice at Manila was worth $1,O(W a month, so that the $290 paid him as sal ary could not have been an inducement to him to sacrifice his beliefs. He strong ly epposedi a colonial system, declaring that that system made Spanish rule a failure, saying that failure should be a warning to the United States. For the present, he said, the Filipinos were obliged to have American guidance, a3 they had just emerged from Spanish darkness into American civilization. Se nor Buencanimo's hearing closed today. Senate Bill in the House. "Now. that the senate has passed the Philippine bill," said Chairman Cooper, of the house committee on insular affairs, today, I will confer with the speaker with a view to early consideration of the bill in the house. As to its passage there can be no doubt, and about the only question is about reconciling the house bill with that passed by the senate. Al • ready the house bill is favorably report ed, and the minority has formulated its opposing plan..- The debate will begin probably in about ten days, and while there wil be no disposition to unduly curtail discussion, I am inclined to be lieve that a week will suffice for the con sideration of the subject." It Is understood that Mr. Cooper is ar ranging to take up the bill one week from next Monday. Natives May Come Freely.

' MONEY STILL NEEDED Continued From First Page. ener has left for England, and Gen. Lyt tleton is acting commander-in-cnief of the British forces in South Africa. LONDON, June 4.—ln the house of commons today the government leader, A. J. Ealfour, presented a message from King Edward, as follows: "His majesty, taking into consideration the eminent services rendered by Lord Kitchener, and being desirous, in recog nition of such services, to confer on him some signal mark of his favor, recom mends that he, the king, should be en abled to grant Lord Kitchener £50,000." John Dillon, William Redmond and Swift MacNeill. Irish-Nationa".i.sts, an nounced their intention of opposing the grant at every stage. A resolution giving effect to his majesty's message will be discussed tomorrow. The fact that the Kitchener grant is only £50,000 has already created consid erable discussion in the parliamentary lobbies, and some regret has been ex pressed that it was not equal to the award made to Lord Roberts (£!*>,000). The lesser amount was decided upon, ow ing to Lord Kitchener's lower rank and to the fact that he received £30,000 at the close of the Soudan campaign; also that he is a comparatively young, unmarried man, at the height of his military career, while Lord Roberts is old, has a family and not likely to have a further chance to distinguish himself. It was announced this afternoon that Lord Kitchener had been created a viscount by King Edward. He has bJr* promoted to be a general. The report that Lord Kitchener will come home for the coronation of King Edward is incorrect. He still has much to do in South Africa, and it is not likely that he will leave there before the middle of July. The South African commands will then be divided. Gen. Lyttleton takes charge of the Transvaal and the Orange River colony and Gen. Lan Hamilton relieving Gen. Fier.ch in the command of the forces in the Cape Colony. In spite of the opinion expressed by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach in the house of commons tonight, there is a general idea that it would be dangerous to leave too small garrisons in the new colonies for some time to come.

Nobody refused o give the h-ggar man a piece of soap. The request was bo un usual that Bridget opened her eyes when he pleaded in a low voice for a piece of the very goods that tramps affect to shun. Without giving her time to ask what he wanted of it., he suggested with almost a faint blush tinging his dirty race, that he wanted to take a bath. Bridget flew to the kitchen, after tell- £ s .tne ragged tramp to wait a moment To be sure mistress would not object to giving a tramp, who had concluded to wash up, a piece of soap. While she was about it she would give him a good big piece. Tnere was just half a cake on to W'lSn stand; that could scarcely be Sh »v to ? k jt to ln" door a ™l received the thank? of the man.
