A decided improvement was reported
this morning in the condition of Mrs.
Gharlos F. Hengesbach. who was stabbed
by Olof Pallessen on March 14 while at
tempting to protect her child. The woman
is now at her home, 2414 N Stret north
vvest, where she was removed from Colum
bia Hospital Wednesday. Her condition
was such on that day that the physicians
at the hospital decided that it was no lon
ger necessary to detain her.
The -wounds of Mrs. Hengesbach have al
most entirely healed and she is ablejtp sit
oxp. The condition of her mind, too, is
"greatly improved, and the indications are
that ner complete recovery will be speedy.
It is expected that Mrs. Hengesbach vlll
be permitted to leave her bed on Sunday.
Pallessen ia still confined in cell No. 3
In "murderers' row" at the District Jail.
He is apparently in the same condition
mentally as on the day of his alleged
crime. He maintains the same stoical in
difference regarding himself and his sur
roundings, and prefers the seclusion of his
cell to the companionship of a guard or
fellow-prisoner. Concerning himself Pal
lessen "has said little. He is morose and
taciturn and his occasional responses to
queries are obtained with difficulty. He
has made no friends and shows no interest
In his surroundings.
Though Pallessen has an oportunity to
exercise every day In the corridors, with
other prisoners, he declines to embrace it.
It is only when the jail officials deem it
necessary for the good health of Pallessen
that he "should take a little exercise that
he does so
The fellow-prisoners of Tallessen. par
ticularly those accused of murder, are
greatly interested in the Norwegian They
rogard him with pity and look on him as
an unfortunate victim of a religious mania.
The general Impression is, that Pallessen
is insane.
It is understood that an effort will be
made to grant Pallessen an early trial.
The general impression about the Court
House is tht.. the man will be adjudged
insane and committed to an asylum. He
Is closely watched at present for fear that
the same insane impulsed which he claimed
impelled him to commit murder might
cause him to destroy himself.

The engagement of Cissie- Loftus, the
lainous English mimic, at the New Grand
next week, will establish a new high rec
ord of attendance, judging from the pres
ent extraordinary advance demand for
Beats. Manager Chase has figured it out
that the demand for reserved seats daily
avorages $1 a minute during the busy bos
office hours. This extraordinary Interest
ia the much-talked-of vaudeville star be
tokens audiences of the greatest propor
tions, far exceeding those of Ching Ling
Foo's first week here, which broke all
previous records at the big Grand. Miss
Loftus has. in all her American engage
ments bo far, proved the greatest finan
cial success known to polite vaudeville
managers, and her services are in demand
constantly. She has the distinction of
being the highest salaried artist in the
vaudeville world, and the greatest attrac
tion known in its annals. Certainly the
flattering press notices and universal com
mendation she has earned in New York
and Boston will commend her most fa
vorably to the patrons of the New Grand
whose number next week will without
doubt be "legion."

to complete the panel. The crime with
which Vale is charged was committed on
January 14 last, at a settlement known as
Fort Reno, on the Tenleytown Road. Tho

ticular attention to a woman with whom
Vale was living. .
On the Saturday before Jackson was
killed, It Is said. Vale purchased a pistol
and warnedthe former, that if he did not
keep away, from the latter's house he
would "burn up his city." On the day
following, Yale, it was stated by Assistant
District Attorney Taylor, provoked Jack
son td making an assault upon him, and
then shot htm. The bullet entered the left
side cf'Jackson's head, and he died almost
Instantly.
The defendant is about seventy years
old, while it is said Jackson was a man of
probably thtrty-fle years of age, and
1 weighed about 180 pounds. The following

The suit of the Garfield Memorial Hos
pital and the Children's Hospital of this
city against Laura D. Lovett and Ida Cor
son, administratrices of the estate of Anna
M. Maulsby, was yesterday dismissed by
Justice Barnard. The litigation was of
long standing and resulted from a misun
derstanding of the intentions of Emma L.
Breese In the making of her will.
According to the terms of the will the
testatrix Emma L. Breese left her whole
estate in fee simple to her two sisters,
Anna XL 31aukby and Charlotte Boswlck.
After she died, there was found among her
papers what was considered as a codicil.
This document stated that the estate of
Emma L. Breese was left to the sisters only
in trust and then enumerated a number of
provisions which she desired her sisters or
the administrators of their estates to carry
out. r
Among these requests was one asking
that I30.COO be contributed to the erection
and maintenance of the Garfield Memorial
Hn?tfi1 and annthpr that J5.000 be do
nated to the support of the Children's
Hospital.
Similar requests were made in reference

Holmes Porter, of Company M, Forty-sixth
United States Volunteer Infantry, writing
to his home at Frostburg, from Santa
Rosa, Luzon, says:
"On January 2o the natives presented to
us a United States flag which they had
made for us. It was the first American,
flag raised in Santa Rosa. Ve were enter
tained by the native band playing for us,
after a short practice, "The Star Spangled

mens cannot be learned. It is known that
the man appeared on the ship Tuesday in
an intoxicated condition and he was order
ed locked up. That night, it is said, he
had delirium tremens. It is reported that

WANTED FOB THE MINT
Difficulty Found in Securing a
Treasury Translator.
A Special Civil Service examina
tion Soon to Be Held in nn UfXort
to Discover Eligible CnmllrititcH.
ApplieuntH MiiHt llne n Gcn
crul Knowledge of. L,miKnses.
The Civil Service Commission is prepar
ing to hold an entirely novel form of exam
ination for a position, which the require
ments of the Treasury Department have
created, and which from Its peculiar na
ture has never yet been filled in what the
officials of the Department consider a sat
isfactory manner. The position requires
the ability of a translator thoroughly fa
miliar with French, German, Spanish, and
Italian, combined with an extensive knowl
edge of the financial history of the United
States and other countries.
It Is designed to meet the need felt in
the Mint Bureau for thoroughly systema
tizing information concerning the finan
cial methods in vogue in other countries,
and the formulation of statistics Illus
trating the same. The Treasury Depart
ment is in constant receipt of financial re
ports from foreign countries which contain
valuable data, but the work of translating
and arranging such Information, so as to
be subject to immediate reference has not
yet been adequately accomplished.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip has con
ferred with A. R. Serven, Chief Examiner
of the Civil Service Commission, on this
subject, and the result is that the Com
mission has determined upon a form of ex-
animation wmen tney believe win meet
the requirements of the office.
The questions comprised in the exami
nation include tests of the competitor
knowledge of the French. German. Span
ish, and Italian languages, political econo
my, financial history of the United
States and the priuclpal countries of Eu
rope, a knowledge of the various currency
questions which have arisen in the his-"
tory of America and Europe, and financial
statements and statistics.
"The announcement of the examination '
will be made In four or five days," said !
Chief Examiner Serven today, "and it ia '
sincerely hoped by the Treasury Depart
ment officials and the Commission that wc
may obtain competent eliglbles.
"The translating which has been previ
ously done in the Mint Bureau of the
Treasury has been mostly a mechanical
effort, and while the translator's ability was
unquestioned considered merely as that
of a translator, the only way In which it
is possible to obtain a satisfactory result
is to possess men competent not merely
in rendering the words of one language into
those of another, but in selecting those re
ports or portions of reports which will il
lustrate in brief and tabulated form, the
financial conditions prevailing In the
principal countries of the 'world."
COLONEL SMITH CONFESSES.
lie Tells of Uie 31i!ltnry UonrdN IMot
to Kolt .MieliiKlii.
LANSING Mich.. March 23. The sensa
tion of the Marsh trial yesterday was the
unexpected confession of Co H. A. "oiith.
former secretary of the military board, and
himself under indictment, that General
White had instructed him to open the bids
for furnishing military supplies and to per
mit Bickerstaff to see them before the
awards were made. This proceeding ena
bled Bickerstaff to underbid competitors
and thereby facilitate the transfer of the
supplies sold to his firm for $10,jOO, which
were to be sold back to the State for ?C0,
000. Smith told the details of his connection
with the conspiracy" from the begining. the
tendency of which was to show that Gen
eral White. General Marsh, Colonel Sut
ton and Bickerstaff organized a conspiracy
to defraud the State and carried it to suc
cessful execution by deceiving Governor
Pingree into signing the necessary order
for the sale of the supplies.
Smith's testimony came from him unwill
ingly at first, but after he had told the
jury that both General Marsh and Colonel
Sutton had beseeched him not to tell anj -thing
be threw off his reserve and in a
straightforward manner told everything he
knew about the deal, leaving a.n impress
ion that the defendant will have difficulty
in removing. It is understood that in re
turn for making a .clean breast of it. Pros
ecutor Tuttle will not press the indictment
against Smith.
AGAINST A SHIP TRUST.
An Important C'liniiRe to lie Mtwle In
the Subsidy Dill.
An important change is to be made by
the House Merchant Marine Committee in
one of the anti-trust amendments to the
Ship Subsidy bill. It now provides that
if a trust of shipbuilders is formed and se
cures control of two-thirls of the ship
building plants engaged in turning out
vessels constructed to earn subsidies, ships
.I-in chased abroad are to be admitted free.
The new proposition will be much more
stringent and will provide that if such a
irust is formed, its members shall be com
relled to relinquish all work being done
for the Government, that no ftsrther con
tracts for Government, either shipbuilding
or repairing shall be given to a member
of the trust, and that no vessel construct
ed in n shipyard belonging to the trust
shall be eligible for compensation under
the Ship Subsidy act. It is believed this
will effectually prevent any such trust
being formed.

CHICAGO, March 23. "I'll stop this
'smooth-faced business' said Inspector
John D. Shea, as he inspected his police

neer whiskers in the bunch to show
they're sure-enough officers of the law.
Hereafter, nothing goes with me but
whiskers. Policemen must have hair on

This utterance of tho-West Side In

least, is -expected in a day prJtwo. The

KILLED BY A BLOW.
A Xejjro Slcvertore Slnin at Xewjiort
Xi'irs.
NEWPORT NEV'S, Va., March 23.
Sol. Watklna, a negro stevedore in the em
ploy of the Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany, received injuries at the hands of
Frank Williams, colored, which caused his
death shortly after. Williams also worked
for the Old Dominion as a stevedore. The
assault occurred between 3 and 4 o'clock
yesterday on Pier G, while the New York
ship was tied up there. Williams, who
was arrested in Bloodfield, claims that he
struck Watkins with a piece of dunnage,
which he picked up on the pier. He said
that he was first assaulted by Watkins ear
lier in the morning. "If a man must hang
for defending himself," said Williams,
"he'd better hang." The testimony before
the coroner's jury bore out Williams' state
ment about &e fifst trouble. It seems that
the two negroes5 jbecamei involved in a
quarrel over some work to be done on tho
ship between 1 and 2 o'clock. Williams re
ceived an ubl ytoMQd over the right eye.
He claims that "Watkins struck him with
a cotton hook and that two other men as
sisted him. ?The; men quit work between
3 and 4 o'clock, Watkins came off with
a truck. According to one of the -witnesses
at the inquqst Williams passed with a
piece of dunnagftjunder Mb arm. Sudden
ly he turned' around and, making some re
mark hit the other on. the head. Williams
says he went up, to Watkins, saying. "You
hit mo -with that hook, didn't you," then
struck him with the club. Watkins waa
carried to h'la 'brother's house, where he
died about 5:30 o'clock.

AN ATTACK ON" THE TBTJST.
Tlie Iter. S. C. Svinlloir Cnlli It the
modern Juggernaut.
NEW YORK, March 23. In the work
ingmen's course of lectures at St. George's
Church, the Rev. Dr. S. C. Swallow talked
last nightf on "Slave, Serf, and Wage
Earner." Dr. Swallow is the Prohibition
ist who ran for Governor of Pennsylvania
last election on an independent ticket, in
fusing on element of uncertainty into the
campaign that kept the other party lead
ers busy. Last night he concerned him
self largely with the perniclousness of
trusts. The modern juggernaut, he said,
was the business monopoly, championed by
tho political boss, an expression of opin
ion which inspired somebody in the au
dience to call out: "We ought to lynch
'em."
Ail the trust evils camo, the speaker
continued, from unfair discrimination. As
an instance, the average wage-earner pays
2 per cent assessment on the full value of
his property while the corporation pays
about one-fourth of 1 per cent. The cor
porations find It easy to purchase legisla
tors and political bosses. Mr. Swallow
said that he never knew of a strike thaJt
benefited the cause of labor in the long
run, and he aid not think that labor organizations-offered
the real remedy. The
remedy was to be found in the bailor box.

DROPPING MONEY IN WHEAT.
Slnmlard OU Men Snltl to Be Loser
In Chicnjjo.
CHICAGO, March 23. Many traders on
the Board of Trade believe that a wealthy
clique of Standard Oil magnates Is re
sponsible for the recent vagaries in the
wheat market. It is claimed that an ef
fort has been made, ,o corner the market
and that the clique is long, perhaps 20,
000,000 bushels of wheat and has lost from
$1,000,000 to $2.00Q.COO.
A former director of the board says that
Flagler and young Rockefeller are opera
ting in this market, and have been since
last September, when John Barrett sold
10,000,000 bushel3 of wheat around 70 cents
a bushel and went broke, the market going
to 74 cents.
The clique now holds fully 20.000,000
bushels, which is now worth about 66
cents. As high as 74 cents was paid for
this wheat.
