CARS RUNNING. 5
Chicago, Nov. 27.—Cars were ran
last night by the Chicago City Rafw ay
for the first time after dark since the
strike was called two weeks ago. While
the struggle was on, the service oper
ated under police protection, was aban
doned each day shortly after 4 o'clock
in order to avoid any possible attack
that might be made by strike sympa
thizers under cover of darkness. The
entire system was put in operation yes
terday and there was little evidence
left of the struggle, that came to a
peaceable ending Wednesday.
When the strikers reported for duty,
all of them, with the exception of fifty
nine were given their former positions.
Of those whom the company refused
to reinstate, fifty-three were train ser
vice employes and six were members
of the cable splicers' union. These
men, it is claimed, by the officials of
the road, were guilty of misconduct
during the dispute and according to the
terms of settlement are not entitled to
reinstatement. The men deny that they
took part in any acts of violence and
complaint will be made to Mayor Car
ter H. Harrison and the aldcrmanic
mediation committee which pledged it
self during the negotiations for a set
tlement, to demand from the company
an adequate reason and proof of vio
lence before any of the strikers should
be refused employment.
THE CASE AGAINST GRIGSBY
is at? That Colonel jkJj^ WJJjj
Have Hard Sledding
"V^tislnngton,' Nov 27.—Tlie liisfory
of last winter's trip to Washington of
Melven Grigsby, United btates marshal
at Nome, points to very hard sledding
on his part in his present difficulties,
unless there is a very radical change in
the attitude of the department of jus
tice. It will be recalled that at that
time Grigsby was charged with having
absented himself from his post, without
leave of absence. So convinced, was
Attorney General Knox of the truth
of the charge that he went so far as to
recommend to the president that Grigs
by be dismissed. But hard work on the
part of Grigsby's friends prevented the
president from removing him, and he
went back to Nome last spring with
c\ear skirts, and no charges on file
at the department.
Just before the season doled in
1902, Grigs|fy had" sbiwfc. cf$£s ^endihg
before the federal court' at Nome in
which the evidence of ccrtain persons
residing in the states was needed. He
wrote the department, asking for leave
of absence, without stating his reasons
for wanting to leave the country. Later
he informed the department of the neces
sity for securing the evidence to com
plete his cases, and requested instruc
tions. He received a reply to the second
leter first, in which he was instructed to
use his own judgment. Later a denial
of his application for leave of absence
reached him. In a quandry, and the
season being nearly closed, he acted on
his best judgment and came to the states
and got a lot of evidence, which he
carried back to Nome this spring.
Upon arriving at Washington he was
confronted with the department's de
nial of permission to leave Nome and
asked to give his reasons tor leaving.
which he aid, but that was not satis
"J-, factory, and his removal was recom
mended for disobedience of regulations
ap(1
^the specific orderSj pf jhe. depart-
President Roosevelt, however, after
hearing all of the evidence, decided that
Grigsby should remain in the service.
•^Goinr back a year-or two to the time
when Grigsby was appointed to his
present position, it can be stated on
authority that it was 'done in opposi
tion to the wishes of Attorney General
Knox, who only consented to the nomi
nation after the president put the matter
on personal grounds, and asked the at
tornev general to reward Colonel Grigs
by for his service in the Spanish war.
Notwithstanding the charges now
•j pending against Grigsby, which are
c-'
said to be rather serious, President
^17*, Roosevelt is determined that justice
shall be done mm, and no radical ac
1 tion will- be taken until he has care
fully reviewed the case. He has confi
^cfenee in Grigiby's integrity and it
will take strong proof to convince him
that his estjoMtie of Grigsby

CAPTAIN CARTER'S RELEASE
The Convicted Military IKta Will Be Oriatod
His Freedon Tomorrow.
v
Leavenworth, Kas Niv. 27^ilie
doors of the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth will swing open tomor
row -.or ex-Captain Oberlin M. Carter,
wTio has completed his five-year sen
tence for robbing the government. De
ducting the allowance lor good conduct
the actual time served by Carter has
been three years and seven months. It
is probable that he will proceed at
once to Chicago where he has relatives
who have looked after bis business af
fairs during his imprisonment. Fur
ther than this his future movements
are undecided.
When Carter was brought to the
penitentiary he talked much ol his an
city for a civil trial. Recently he has
not said much on this subject, but has
paid, more attention to a suit pending
in the United States circuit court#
whereby the government was endeav^
oring to recover about $723,000 alleged'
to be a part of the former captain's ill
gotten booty. Since his imprisonment
the government has succeeded in mak-.
ing Carter turn over vast sums ol
money, but notwithstanding this he is
believed to be still wealthy. He is
possessed of valuable mining property,
chiefly in Mexico, and it is thought
likely that he may make that country
his future home.
The case of Carter attracted such
widespread attention at the time of his'
arrest, trial and conviction four years
ago that the facts are. still fresh in the
public memory.
Grant sent him to West. Point from
Ohio in 1876. He was graduated at 24.
at the head if his class, and went to the
engineer corps by right of his stand
ing. He served first in the east, where
he married a millionaire's daughter,
who died before his downfall. It was
in 1890 that Carter,'then a lieutenant,
presented to congress his plans for the
improvement of Savannah harbor. He
had thought it all out unaided, and
Savannah went, mad, almost, with joy
when the news Was brought to the
town that nearly $3,000,000 had beeii
appropriated to carry into concrete ef1
feet the ideas that originated in the
mind of the brilliant engineer. Carter
returned to Savannah to take up the
work on the harbor. Fr5m that very
moment, it was shown, the swindling
began. He conspired with the con
tractors who were doing the work,
realizing, with his accomplices, hun
dreds of" thousands of dollars. After
the work was fairly under way the
young lieutenant fairly bioomed as an
entertainer and a good fellow. He took
parties of his friends do\vn the bay in
a government yacht, 011 which occa
sions the champagne flowed like water.
Meanwhile his expenses grew at an
amazing rate. It deyelOged

the Episcopal minister, after which the
Masons took charge. The Knights of

beautiful bouquet of flowers, and the
volunteer fire department of this place

Carter was dismissed from the army
and the government advertised in the
newspapers that he h^d ceased to b(
"an officer and a gentleman." The
next day he was arrested and his im
prisonment began. Afterward Messrs.
Green and Gaynor, prominent New
York contractors, were indicted for
complicity with Carter in the Savan

to^ be still in^ hiding there. Carter i«

The talk of
Collier's Weekly
Hanna boom is only talk. Hanha re
signed all claims to the republican
nomination last June, when he was
forced to allow the Ohio state conven
tion to indorse Roosevelt f6r the nom
ination the boomers want Hanna' -to
try for now. Hanna did not want Uie
convention to indorse Roosevelt. -'He
insisted that such an indorsement was
next year's work.
President Roosevelt was on his gredt1,
trip through the west. He acted with
promptness. He sent a telegmm to
Hanna calling on his friends to declare
themselves. The Hanna boom died at
that moment. Since then the senator
has been for Roosevelt for 1904. The
president knows this. Hanna does not
break his word. If he had had 250,000
majority in Ohio instead of 125,000, it
would be the same. No better proof
of their understanding is needed than
that the president has asked Hanna to
remain at the head of the republican
national committee and manage his
campaign for him.'
Hanna is one of the most popular
men in the country among the politi
cians, and he has much strength with
the people. He received more cheers
on the Opening day of. congress than
any other man in the senate or house,
not excepting.New York's mayor-elect,
George B. McClellan.
There will be much presidential poli
tics in the present congress. Each side
is playing.fo/'advantage. The republi

open up the tariff issue, and in every
