Chicago, Dec. 12.—The testimony of
President Roosevelt and Mr. Root may
necessary* to settle the question
raised by the Standard OH demurrer
to the indictment returned against It
here last August.
John S. Miller, attorney for the com
pany. declares the passage of the new
rate btll repealed the Elkins*law and
remitted all offenses committed to that
day. He claims further that the bill,
29. 1906, and became a law.
The contention of the government on
this point is that even If the Elkins
law was repealed and the offenses com
mltted against It forgiven, which is not
conceded save for Argument, the bill
did not become a law until filed with
the secretary of state. It Is believed
that the president and secretary of
state will appear rather than have all
the prosecutions arising out of rebate
matters quashed.

The police commission, at its regular
meeting Thursday night, will have up
for consideration an Interesting iiues-
tlon, Involving the rights of civil and
military authorities.
The matter will be Introduced In the
nature of charges preferred against
two police officers, -growing out of a
clash between two policemen and two
privates of company B. Fifth Georgia
regiment, slnte troops, In the Bijou
Theater on the night of November 26.
The two soldiers, J. C. Edmondson and
F. J. Arbuly, In uniform and armed,
went to the Bijou under orders from
their captain to arrest another member
of the company for falling to attend
drill, and who was then enjoying the
performance.
The soldiers assert that the police
men, specified as Officers Brodte land
R. J. Williams, Intofferred with them In
making the arrest, on the ground they
had no right to enter the theater for
any such purpose. It Is further alleged
that the policemen Jeered and ridiculed
the soldiers, referring to them us "tin
soldiers" and characterizing ihelr cap
tain as a "fool," who didn't know his
business.
Arrested and Released.
The soldiers say they were finally
arrested by the policemen, but were
later released. They say the conduct of
the policemen indicated tlmt the uniform
of a soldier was nothing more than a
target for derision and ridicule.
The soldiers didn't know the names
of the policemen, but reported the num
bers. On these numbers, charges were
preferred against Officers Brodlo and
Williams. It Is learned, however, that
Williams was not on duty at the tlien-
ter, but It Is said that the officer re
ferred to by the soldiers, was Police
man Englelt.
f’hlcf Jennings, when asked about the
matter Wednesday morning, said;
“I know nothing of the merits of the
case at issue. Of course, however, civil
law lukes precedence over military law,
as this Is a civil government. The mil
itary, on the other hand, has certain
authority over its men. Whether mi
litiamen would have a right, however,
lo invade a theater and urrest one of
their number I am not prepared to
say."
Colonel Anderson Reticent.
Colonel Clifford I,. Anderson, com
manding officer of the Fifth regiment,
Infantry, Georgia State Troops, said
Wednesday morning that hi view of
the fact that tho matter was to he
Investigated he did not care to be
Interviewed. „„ , ..
"I will simply quote section t>9 of the
Georgia military code,” said Colonel
Anderson, "as It defines the authority
of the military ocers In such cases;
The governor, commanding officer of
any regiment, battalion or company,
may force the attendance at any drill,
encampment or other duty of any of
ficer or enlisted man of h.ls command
and may use such force os may be nec-
ossary."
Matron Controversy.
A number of other matters will come
before the commission Thursday night.
One of the most Interesting features
will be consideration of the. controver
sy between Probation Officer Gloer and
Miss Sanderson, police matron.
The commission will also elect sev
eral new policemen. Fourteen appli
cants have successfully passed the civil
service physical examination and these
men will take the educational examina
tion Wednesday afternoon at 3

Was to Have Met Senator.
"It Is true that I was to have met the
senator In New York this week,” said
Mrs. Adams today. "The meeting was
not of a business nature. We were
friends and the meeting was to be so
cial. When he left Halt Lake City he
wrote to me tiiat he had a case to argue
before the supreme court and that as
soon as that was over, which he thought
would be by today at the latest, he
would meet me In New York.
"I was in Philadelphia at the time of
the shooting and. of course, was greatly
surprised. I come here to await devel
opments and* will go to Washington
If the senator recovers sufficiently ’.o
send for me or I will go there in the
event of his death, which seems proba
ble.
"In either event I shall Issue a state
ment which will fully explain the con
tents of the letters from me found in
Senator Brown’s room. I can fully ex
plain every passage and will show that
nothing more than a close and warm
personal friendship existed between the
senator and myself.

"I could have undoubtedly prevented

Mrs. Bradley had come to tne nnd asked

her and give to her nnd his children his
name.
Mrs. Bradley’s grievances were not
imaginary. They were real and had I
known that the mutter was so desper
ate and that stage in their relations
had been reached I would have Insisted
on a settlement of the matter satis

IN LARCENY CASE
Insurance Man Is Held in
Tombs for Further
Proceedings, *
Sew York, Dec. 12.—After being 'out
four hours, the Jury yesterday after
noon returned a verdict of guilty In
the case of George Burnham, Jr„ vice
president and general coumifd of ths
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com
pany, who was charged with the lar
ceny of *7,500 of the company’s funds.
Tho specific charge against Burnham
was that In 1901 he paid to J. Doug
las Wells, with company funds for a
loan alleged to have been made to
Frederick A. Burnham, president of the
company, nnd that the payment was
concealed by false entry.
A feature of the Burnham trial was
the production of a check by the
prosecution which bore the name of
Louis F. Payn, former superintendent
of Insurance, and the United States Ex
press Compuns - , of which United States
Senator Platt Is president. It was not
claimed, however, that Burnham paid
the amount of this check to Mr. Pttyn.
but thHt It wns used to resist an alleged
demand by Payn for *100.000 from ths
life Insurance company.
After the Jury’s verdict was an
nounced, Burnham was remanded to
the Tombs prison and further pro*-
ceedlngs In the case were postponed
till Friday.
