at Otisvllle, near here, for the Erio Railroad

GOT RID OF BAD MONEY.
Dealings with Farmers in Rochester
Worth $500 to Counterfeiters.
Rochester. July 20 —A bajid of counterfeiters
from New York dropped off In this city to-day
and disposed of about $500 In bogus money,
almost entirely to farmers at the public market,
and got out of town without being apprehended.
The chief of police and United States Deputy
Marsha! Viehmann are looking for them.
There were three In the band, it Is thought, as
three neatly dressed Italians were seen at the
market dickering with Irondequolt truck gar
deners. One of the trio was a middle aged
man with dark mustache and hair and wore
blue serge clothes. The two others were younger
and clean shaven.
PIN HOPES ON JEROME.
A. D. White Says Thinking People
Look to Him to Stop Crime.
Ithaca, X. Y. July 20.— Andrew D. White,
formerly president of Cornell University, in an
address before the Cornell Summer School to
night, said the time had come when technical
appeals in criminal canes should no longer be
allowed by the courts. Referring to the situa
tion in New York City and speaking of District
Attorney Jerome, Dr. White said:
< n him more than any other man thinking
people throughout the state and nation are pin
ning th»lr hopes that sundry cases of high crime
now attracting notice may not become a lasting
di«era<-<? to the New York courts and American
justice
While the number of murders is rapidly in
creaslngi procedure against them is becoming
more and more effective, and. In the light of
sundry recent cases In New York and elsewhere.
Is ween to b« a farce.
On* of the worst results of these cases is the
growing opinion among- the people at large that
ni^n with mon^y can SO delay justice by every
sort of rhic.inery that there Is virtual Immunity
from punishment for th" highest crimes. I
fnvor preventing appeals based on mere techni
cal matters, and upon errors of trial Judges In
trlflliiK matters of procedure and the like, which
hnvo virtually nothing to do with the question
of iruilf or Innocence.

JUSTICE ASKED REBATE
WANTED COLLECTION 7/7
Insurance Official Uses His Letter
to Point a Moral.
Milwaukee, July 20.— Justice Rouget D. Mar
shall, of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, to
day admitted that he was the high court officer
referred to In yesterday's proceedings of the
Wisconsin legislative life Investigating com
mittee, when J. G. Albright, state manager of
the Union Central Life Insurance Company of
Cincinnati, produced correspondence showing
that a Supreme Court officer asked that the
agent's commission for collection of the premium
on his policy be remitted. The justice, however,
said there was nothing irregular in any of the
letters, because there was no agent in Madison,
and he only wanted to be reimbursed for the
trouble of collecting his own premium.
The original correspondence was produced by
Mr. Albright to-day. The letter soliciting the
commission for collection is dated State of Wis
consin. Supreme Court, Madison, Wia.. October
1, 1902. and is addressed to the Union Central
Life Insurance Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The letter says that the annual premljun is
$671 40, and adds:
I am not at present advised as to whether I
will be obliged to remit to the principal office.
Not knowing that you have any agent in this
city, and supposing that If you have such agent
he has no claims upon you for a percentage for
the collection of my premium, I suggest that you
send my receipt to the First National Bank, of
Madison. Wis., with a draft attached for the
?871 40, and instructions to deliver the receipt
upon payment of the draft on or before the due
date of the premium, and that In such case you
permit the bank to take the usual agent's Com
mission for the collection, with permission to
pay the same to me. My policy came from an
agent entirely outside of my circle of business
acquaintances. I see no reason myself why I
cannot be permitted to make the payment in
the manner suggested, but if there are reasons
of course you will write me, suggesting where to
send the money.
This letter from Justice Marshall was referred
by the home office of the insurance company to
Mr. Albright, who wrote to his superior officer,
saying:
When a judge of the Supreme Court of this
state makes an appeal for a rebate and does it
direct to the home office is it not time that there
be some elevation In the moral conscience of
the people In high places before we can hope
for much change for the better among the rank
and file on the rebate question?
Mr. Albright also wrote to the justice, inform
ing him that rebating was forbidden by law in
Wisconsin. Justice Marshall then wrote to Mr.
Albright as follows:
Here !s the draft for payment on my policy.
I am not unacquainted with the law to which
you refer. On reflection you will probably see
that there Is nothing in the law to prevent your
company from paying to any bank any col
lection charges you see fit. I do not take your
letter very seriously. It would not be out of
place for your company to establish an agency
outside of Milwaukee.
"I wrote the letters which were read before
the life insurance investigating commission on
Thursday," said Justice Marshall over the tele
phone from his fiirm in Kilbourne this after
noon- "The company did not deem it proper to
grant me an agenfs commission, and I sent the
ooney In full. That is all there is to it. If
any one wants to make a mountain out of a
molehill they will have to do so. The corre
spondence as published is correct In every par
ticular, and I defy any one to read Into my let
ter any demand or request for any rebate or al
lowance other than the usual collection fee al
lowed agents who handle premium renewals. I
wrote for Information, and as soon as I got It I
acted upon it and remitted my premium In full.
"I added that, In my opinion, the company
would do well to appoint agents at other places
than Milwaukee, with the idea that it would
tend to convenience in collections."
LEPER ON WAY HERE.

A GREAT WHEAT CROP.
Present Weather Means Millions
to the Northwest.
[Pv Telegraph to Tha Tribune.]
'Minneapolis. July U<». — If this weather con
tinues another week one of the earliest spring
wheat harvests on record will begin. In the
advanced places between Redfleld and Aberdeen
farmers will start to cut wheat a week from
to-day.
John Ingiis. the crop expert, who is In the
country, telegraphed to-day that the prospects
are excellent. H. V. Jones, from Revllle, S. D..
says that in nize and state of maturity the
wheat In that neighborhood exceeds any ever
■een before at as early a date There are some
counties in North Dakota, however, in which the
wheat is t<»n days late, and in some places the
first wheat will be cut September 1.
The success of the crop depends on the
weather. To do It damage rust must strike
wheat before It is too far advanced toward
maturity. It is now a race between the wheat
find the rust, with the good weather favoring
the wheat The present weather, If It continues,
will mean millions of dollars to Minneapolis and
th<- Northwest.

WILL OF ALFRED BEIT
(^HKAT GIFTS TO CHARITY.
Six MiUimts in Develop Communica
tion in Africa — Other H< <i>rsU.
London. July 20.— Owing to premature state
ments regarding the will of Alfred Belt, the
South African financier, who died here on July
16. the executors of Mr. Belt's estate this even
ing gave out the terms of the public bequests,
without, however, disclosing the amount of the
fortune left, which. It Is believed, it will take a
considerable time to estimate, owing to the fluc
tuation in the price of shares owned by Mr.
Belt. The document lacks little of the remark
able character which gossip attributed to the be
quests. The sums enumerated make the vast
total of $9,675,000. not Including the value of
the estate bequeathed to his native city of Ham
burg, or the art treasure bestowed on the Na
tional Gallery and the Museums of Berlin and
Hamburg. It is believed that the aggregate will
be not far short of $12,500,000. The most nota
ble provision is that by which a body of trus
tees gets control of $6,000,000, to be used in the
development and construction of means of com
munication In Rhodesia and along the Cape to
Cairo railway, which with other bequests for
South Africa shows that Mr. Beit's interest in
the welfare of the country in which his fortune
was mado was equal to that of his old associate.
Cecil Rhodes.
The will leaves the property known a* Borst
ler's Jager. near Hamburg, to the city of Ham
burg, to be held for the people. If this Is not
practicable, the city is authorised to realise on
the property twenty years after Mr. Beit's
death, and apply the proceeds to charitable
purposes of the State of Hamburg, the main
tenance of the property to be defrayed by the
revenue from the hotel on the property. The
proceeds of the sale of the surplus timber Is to
be devoted to charitable or educational purposes.
The picture by Sir Joshua Reynolds of Lady
Cockburn and her children is left to the British
National Gallery, and the portrait by the same
artist of Mistress Boone and her daughter, and
other art treasures are left to Berlin and Ham
burg. The sum of $250,000 and one thousand
$12 50 shares In the De Beers company are be
queathed to the College of Technology connect
ed with the liondon University.
The sum of $1,000,000 Is left to the University
of Johannesburg, to build and equip buildings
on the land previously given by him; $1,000,000
is bequeathed for educational or charitable pur
poses in Rhodesia and other territories within
the field of the British South Africa Company;
$125,000 to the research fund of the London
University; $125,000 to the Rhodes University.
Grahamstown, Cape. Colony; $50,000 to the
Rhodes Memorial Fund, at Cape Town; $50,000
to the Union Jack Club of London; $100,000 to
the Beit firm In South Africa for educational or
charitable purposes In the Transvaal; $75,000
for the same purposes to Kimberley; $75,000 to
Dr. Jameson, now Premier of Cape Colony, and
Sir Lewis Michel!, chairman of the De Beers
company and a trustee of the Rhodes Fund, for
the same purposes In Cape Colony; $100,000 is
left to the King's Hospital, London. $100,000 to
Guy's Hospital, London, and $200,000 is to be
distributed equally In London and Hamburg by
Mr. Beit's executors for educational and charit
able purposes.
The testator, continuing, says that, believing
that civilisation can best be advanced in Africa
by the construction of railways, telegraphs,
telephones and wireless telegraphs, and knowing
how difficult it is to raise money for those pur
poses, he leaves $6,000,000 In stocks and shares
to his partners to constitute a fund the income
of which Is to be devoted to the construction,
equipment or furtherance of any such methods
of communication or transportation in Rhodesia,
ortuguese South Africa or the German posses
sions, and any parts of Africa which may be
traversed In establishing the Cape-to-Calro
Railway, telegraph or telephone lines. The trus
tees have absolute discretion, and if two-thirds
of them decide that the fund is no longer re
quired for furthering the work of communica
tion or transportation, they can apply the pro
ceeds to educational, charitable or other public
purposes In Rhodesia.
Mr. Beit left large sums to relatives, numerous
legacies to friends and gifts to clerks and ser
vants. The residue of his estate, real and per
sonal, is bequeathed to his brother. Otto Beit,
absolutely.
The will is dated April 4. 1905.
NOVELIST OPENS FIGHT.
ChurchiU Would Be the "Roosevelt
of New Hampshire."
[By TMegraph to The Tribune.]
Concord, N» H., July 3ft,— "We are trying to do
for New Hampshire what Theodore. Roosevelt Is
doing for the TTnlted States." said Winston Church'
111, of Cornish. In Phoenix Hall this evening, and
his nve hundred auditors applauded the declaration
heartily.
The occasion was the opening of the campaign of
the Unooln Republican dub of New Hampshire.
Whose avowed aim is "to put the government of
New Hampshire back into the hands of the people."
James W. Remlck, former justice of the Supreme
Court, and president of the club, was the chairman
of the evening. He spoke for an hour, and Colonal
ChurchiU. who is the candidate of the club for the
Republican nomination for Governor, made an ad
dress of similar length. Both devoted themselves
almost entirely to attacks upon the methods of the
Boston & Maine Railroad in connection with poll
tics a nil legislation In New Hampshire.
Mr. rhurchlU said. In part:
In my opinion, this Is not only the greatest issue
in New Hampshire, but the most Important Issue In
the United States. Indignation got me into it, sheer
indignation as a citizen, and I believe that my in
dignation is largely shared by the people of the
state.
This same fight is being fought in some of our
cister states. It has been practically won in Wis
consin, and Senator Colby Is going to win In New
Jersey, and it Is being fought In New York and
Pennsylvania. It is going to win eventually all
over the t'nited States, and largely because one
man had the magnificent courajf* and foresight to
X t up and lead Americans In this second war for
Independence, and that man jb Theodore Roosevelt.

an elevator boy. Ella Parmerie. a dressmaker,
slipped Into an elevator shaft in the McCreery
Building to-day and. after clinging to the bottom
of the rapidly ascending lift, fell eleven stories

The accident was witnessed by many employes,

Miss Fannerie, who was only eighteen years

at Etna. She had been HI for some time and

the country ami the strength of its financial
system.

1905, before the battle of the Sea of Japan, au
thorized an issue of 4' 2 per cent bonds at 87%.
A large part of the loan was taken in this coun
try. The* bonds fell a trifle below the Issuo
price, but after the action which virtually
marked the end of the war rose to about fl3.
They were quoted yesterday at I*4*4. A second
series of these bonds was issued later at th«
same purchase price. T.hey were quoted yes
terday at 91}* Besides these Japan has Issue*!
two series of He. the first of which sold yester
day at 90% and the second at from 00 to 98%.

one. headed by the National City Bank and th»
other by Harvey Fisk & Sons— were organized to>
bid for the entire Panama issue. It was ex
pected in Wall Street that the bond* would real
