SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1903 THE PITTSBURG PRESS TWENTY-THREE MAN'S WISH FOR A PRETTY WIFE GREAT FOR THE CHORUS GIRLS NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS ROADS SAVE MILLIONS BY OBEYING OF LAWS Discontinuance of Rebates and Withdrawal of Secret Tariffs Prove Most Profitable for Railroads Big Shippers That Disregard Laws Now on the Run. HARTJE CASE MRS. SMALE NOT THE MAN SHE INTENDED TO SUE Writ for Release Asked lor De-fendant in a Breach of Promise Suit But there is a class of shippers who have regarded themselves as above the law. The law was all right for the other shippers, they said, but not for them. Investigations that have been under way for months by the Interstate Commerce Commission, have convinced most of these big shippers who disregard the law that they were not to be excepted, and they have been on the run ever since the recent disclosures in regard to the operation of freight brokers.

The freight broker was the invention of crooked traffic officials and shippers to evade the rebate law. But they are getting what was coming to them, as seen by the recent court decision at Kansas City, where fines and Imprisonment have been meted out. There are more to follow. Chicago, July T. A million dollars a month has been saved by the railroads of ths West for the past six months by their discontinuing rebates and by the withdrawal of special secret tariffs.

These figures are disputed by some traffic officials, but are said to be low by others. None of the latter care to "go Into particulars" and it is impossible to arrive at more than an approximate conclusion of the benefits derived by the railroads by living up to the law, which prohibits rebates and secret tariffs. With the passage of the Elkins anti-rebate law, more than two years ago, there has been a gradual improvement In railroad management. It has been possible for traffic officials to refuse rebates and special rates to many shippers. ft; 1 wl lfi ROMANCE FOREVER ENDED BY SETTLEMENT OF SUITS A Russian Army Contractor, a Fortune and a Pretty Girl Figured in Much Litigation Here, Which Is Now Terminated.

Thaw Recalls Other Stage Women Who Have Married Gold or Title.

Man's desire to possess a wife attractive in form and feature has given many chorus girls the opportunity to marry titles and wealth. Mrs. Harry K. Thaw, formerly Miss Evelyn Nesbit, is foremos; In public attention just now as on example of a poor girl who has wedded millions. She was born in Pittsburg, but it was in New York.

as a stage girl, that she met the gilded youth who took her to Europe, and who managed to make his family recognize her as his wife after many humiliating experiences. AN ORIGINAL CJlRL. Miss Frances Belmont, now Lady Ash-burton and once a flame of Harry Thaw, also married brilliantly. She made her night. "I suggested to the mayor, wllen I talked with htm, that might be well when important measures are pending in councils for him to consult with the presidents of councils." A number of Republicans declared yesterday that Ihey ha'e evidence of plans of the Democrats to carefully note the work of the Republican majority in coun cils and to make the greatest use possible in the approaching campaign of action not in the public interest.

There will be no cause for surprise if some of the" Republican rank and file make e. demand on the party leaders that they ask the councilmen to conduct themselves In a way calculated to advance the Interests of the public and the party. OLD COMBINE AT WORK. The new combine, it Is declared, has the same backers as the combine that flourished In councils during most of the last administration and during a portion of the administration preceding it. It is claimed that two ex-members of Select Council, who were in the old combine, are acting as lieutenants for the combine managers.

The backers know no party. They take in a certain number of men without regard to what their politics may be, but in this instance the discredit for the work of the combine is bound to fall on the Republicans. TIk? combiners in the past have always given their attention to franchises and other corporation measures and for a long time, during the sway of the old combine, no measure could be passed until the backers of the combine were readv to let it go through. There) is much curiosity to know whether the combine extends to the common branch, though it is strongly suspected that it does, and whether it is strong enough to pass ever the mayor's veto any measure that the combine managers are anxious to have become a law.

IS ONLY TOPIC Lawyers Are Interested in the Trial as Much as the General Public GET.

INTO WARM DISCUSSIONS. MAI OK. K.1USCIILER VISITS. THH MARRIAGE UtESE OFFICE. GOSSIP OF THE COURTHOUSE.

There it. oniy one topic of discussion at tUo courthouse nowadays, and that 1 the general gossip of the public, to-wit, the llartjt divorce case. It seems incredible that the average citizen could become so greatly interested in. a trial in the civil courts, and above all, the lawyers at the bar. It seems most of them have been nejjlectirg much of their other business to peep at the trial, and then gather in groups and discuss the case.

he lawyers are as busy taking sides upon the issue almost as the actual coun.sel In the case. They get so warm in their discussions and Intimations that at times crowds are gathered and personal encounters anticipated, but up io. date no tights are recorded. The lilt between Assistant District Attorney John Kobb, and J. Scott Kergruson furnished a lot of talk about professional courtesy and the ethics of the practice of law, but after that is all threshed out, the discussion veered around to the one question, tr Is not Mr.

JIartje going to get his divorce?" The great mystery to some of the lawyers who sid: with Mrs. Hartje is whv her counsel did not demand a jury trial. Mr. Hurtje demanded a Jury trial in the case against him, and her sympathizers up to date see an easy victory for h-r if site had demanded a jury trial. Yet when you ask any of those expressing that lew, they admit they have seen none of the exhibits.

A 1,1, 1 IT "ST JL'DGK There is one thing, however, upon which all the lawyers agree, and that is that Judge It. S. Frazer. who is trying the ease, will certainly do justice to the issue. His Kreat responsibility is recognized by all.

and the anxiety with which his decision will be awaited when the case closes will certainly be intense. An example of the confidence whit the lawyers place in the court regardless of what public sentiment or discussion may provoke, is well founded in the expression of one of the oldest ami most prominent lawyers of the bar. lie said, iu taiklnfr over the case with a group of attorneys in the Frick building the oiher day: "1 rievM- get interested in anybody else's lawsuits, but I must confess that I am greatly worked up over this case. It is hard for me to keep away from the court room and I can see much for the lawyers on both sides to tight about and that to the layman there is a great many important questions to solve, yet I feel that when the eae is ended in the lower court justice will be done. "1 have not seen any of the letters and am astounded at the case produced by the libellant and equally astonished at the progress of tli respondent, so much so that I believe the letters will have to settle the question.

I will say this that I don't place much credence on expert testimony and don't believe the courts are moved much by their conclusions for we nil know that either side can get experts. 1 am anxious to know what the court will pay about those li tters. I would sooner take tlif opinion of the judge than all the experts of the country." KIP.SCHhKn AT NEW OFFICK. Mayor Kirschler, of Allegheny, was a visitor at the court house yesterday morning naving been over to attend the regular meeting of the Allegheny County Hoard of Prison Inspectors. He is personally acquainted with the marriage license clerks, George V.

Watson and S. Worry, and decided to visit them in their new quarters in the "Little Church Across the Way." Thomas Jones, of Kelly street. Fast Fnd. is Die watchman and hall oitleer about this new building of the county, and spends much of his time directing the love lorn couples to the marriage hcerfe looms. The mayor encountered Mr.

Jones as he entered the old chinch building yesterday and said: "Can 1 get a marriage license here?" "Where 'is the lady?" asked Mr. Jones. "I did not bring her along." replied the mayor. "Well." s.ti.l Junes, "you will have to bring her. They will not grant a license here without ti lady." "They won't.

Why that's funny, I can swear that sh" is old enough, and don't 1 look the right age?" asked the mayor who was bent on'some fun. "Yes. that's all right." said Jones, "but they send the men home every day for their girls, and 1 don't tliink you can be any more successful than the others." "Well, can I go in and talk it over with the clerk?" asked the mayor. "Oh. yes, you can do that: just go right in, but.

I don't think it will do you any good." insisted Jones. The mayor walked in and saw his friends, told of his experience with the watchman, ami then left in a few minutes. As he walked out Jones said: "Weh. did you get your ItceVise?" "No." said the mayor. "I thought so.

1. She denies all the allegations contained in her husband's libel and states that her husband after accusing her of wrong doing with Barnhart condoned her alleged offenses by living with her and treating her as a loving husband. DENIES WRONGDOING. Mrs. Smale stated, in answer to her husband's charges, that she has always conducted herself in a proper manner and at no time has committed the acts of infidelity alleged in her husband's libel.

She also states that she has never been guilty of wrongdoing with Claude Barnhart and that after her husband had accused her of wrong doing with Barnhart he continued to live with her until March 11, instead of March 8, aa he states In his libel. CHISHOLM REPLIES. In the divorce case of Ella T. Chls-holm against Donald Chisholm an answer was filed by the respondent to the rule secured by his wife to show cause why he should not pay her alimony pending the trial of the case. Chisholm denies his wife's claim that he is earning Uk a month or that his wife's income is a week.

He alleged she has left her by a former husband and that she had no need to spend any part of it while be lived with her as he always provided her with plenty of money. A hearing on the rule will be held Monday before Judge James G. Young. A libel in divorce was filed by Mrs. Elizabeth Kemp against James F.

Attorney Frank I. Oossfr yesterday filed a motion for a new trial before Juds James It. Macfarlane in the case of Andrew J. Abel, convicted a few days ago of murder in the feeond degree for the killing of his wife, Lena Abel, on January 8 last. Five reasons why a new trial should be granted are raised, the chief one being that the defense havinsr raised a reasonable doubt, the verdict should have been acquittal.

The claim is also set up that the assistant district attorney practiced unfairness during- the trial and by so doing seriously prejudiced the defendant's case. A petition was also presented to have the stained hat and coat which were used a evidence against th defendant at the trial submitted to a chemist for analysis, to ascertain if the stains are really blood. Attorney Frank I. tiosser said that at the trial they had been accepted as such without there being any authority for the belief. Judge Collier made an order permitting the counsel for the prisoner and the district attorney to agree upon a chemist to conduct the examination, under the supervision of the district attorney, and his report to be used during the argument for retrial.

Annie Benish made an application for a writ of habeae corpus to obtain his release in Common Pleas Court No. 2. yesterday.

A. Evans handed down a decision yesterday in the case brought to test the legality of the commission appointed to examine public school teachers and fix their salaries, in which he declares the commission had not the power or authority to so act. Judge Evans says the Central Board of Education had no authority to appoint such commission, or power to arrange a system of salaries as determined hy the members. The Central Board, he says has no right to appropriate money for salaries or expenses of the commission, nor power to fix the salaries of teachers in the sub-district schools below the eighth grade and of over seven years' experience. He says that would take away from the sub-district boards their right of supervision of the individual teachers.

The decision was rendered in a suit brought by James W. Houston, of the Twentieth ward, in behalf of the teachers who objected to the plan. The formation of the commission resulted from an agitation for Increased salaries, which it was finally determined to regulate by examination. After the result of the first examination held by the commission was made known, the teachers objected, to the plan and a Teachers' Association was formed to fight any further action by the commission and Houston entered the suit.

Bowen claimed his part in the affair was only that of a sympathetic friend, he having taken her to the doctor's office when she was in trouble.

Both men are well known in the East End. John Filipic, an Italian, convicted a few days ago of voluntary manslaughter for the killing of Samuel Visnick on April last, was sentenced to serve two years and six months in the penitentiary by Judge F.

Spear the well-known furniture and carpet dealers at 'JOS Penn avenue, Pittsburg, having inaugurated a "23" sale, were interested in discovering, if possible, the origin of the picturesque expression. Thus far thev have been compelled to fall In line with the popular theory of holding Charles Dickens responsible for the trouble. It has been explained at length in various publications, so we will just recall the incident briefly.

In the 'Tale of Two Cities" several executions, something like fifty, are scheduled. The guillotine Is ready for its duty. One by one the victims are led to the place of execution and after a few preliminary remarks are dispatched. Some ladies are sitting about, knitting and enjoying the gruesome spectacle. In order to keep matters straight they insist on counting the heads as they drop in the basket.

They have lust counted 22 when Sidney Carton is led up as the next victim and without any preliminary "23" is uttered and theji Carton's head the basket. Hence the sale as noted above and in the advertisement appearing elsewhere In this paper. "Skidoo" is found in the early writings of an obscure Dutch writer named De Loor Ruoy. That is. the translation answers to the term "skidoo." One of his characters is made to say: "You have brought disgrace upon the home which has long and honorably sheltered you and henceforth "skidoo" (out away) shall be your fate." We give both of these for what they are worth.

The first day mother sent me to school I went home at recess, thinking school was out.

As I have grown older I find that a whole lot of people did the same thing, and the Bad part of the affair is that too many of us never went back, in life be careful that you don't go home at recess. If you start to learn a trade or profession, stay by it and master It. Don't chase away at recess. If you have a business, attend to it. Don't eo home at recess.

This going home at recess has sent many a business man into bankruptcy. It has caused mothers' tears to flow and mothers' hearts to ache. It haa made crusty old bachelors and sour id maids. It has filled world with lgno- ranee and made barren deserts of fertile plains. Going home at recese means that you have fallen asleep at the switch and your train has plunged into the ditch.

He says: "No evidence of ozone was anywhere apparent except at Brownswood Park, la the northeast. It was from the north- east quarter the wind was blowing, and the air had lost all trace of ozone before it had reached Hyde Park.

At Bushey Park, although practically a country district, no ozone waa present in the air. London had not only ab- stracted the goodness out of the air that swept over It, but had added to It the exhalations from the breath and bodies of millions of human beings and of tens of thousands of animals. Per- sons living within a one or two mile radius of Charing Cross cannot have fresh air entering their dweUlnga at any, time."

Russia, shortly after the end of the Russian-Japanese war. terminated in Pittsburg yesterday when, in the law office of Attorney A.

C. Stein, at No. 5o7 Ross-street, the final papers were drawn up and signed which gives the alleged victim freedom form espionage and litigation in the future. Kills Z. Cohen is the contractor.

He was born 4ij years ago in Russia, but early emigrated to Manchuria, where he set himself up in business in a small way and prospered. His business grew and he married and settled down to a quiet tin-eventful life. In course of time, his wife died and a spirit of unrest began to FRIEDA DUBOVSKY. stir in the breast of Cohen. It was about this time that there were rumors of war between Japan and Russia, with Manchuria as a possible ground for hostilities.

Cohen saw the opportunity to increase his fortune and by arrangement with the Russian government began contracting supplies for the army. The close of the war found Cohen worth between and He had worked hnrd for several yearg and. as he was independently rich, he decided upon a long trip, going first into northern Rusia and latter into other countries enjoying himself after his years of hard work and privation. PRETTY GIRL. ENTERS CASE.

It was in the summer of l'J4 that Cohen found himself within the city of Warsaw and there partially by chance he found a number of relatives whom he had not seen In many years and others whom he did not know he had. As is always the case either on the stage or off when a rich man happens upon relatives there is sure to be a beautiful woman and a subsequent love match with lots of trouble. The woman in this case turned out to be Frieda rubovsky, a full cousin of Cohen tall, dark-eyed and be-witchingly handsome. It is needless to say that Cohen fell madly in love with her at once. In his travels about Russian seaports and his associations with men of all nations gathered about the seat of war, Cohen had picked up thousands of dollars worth of costly and rare jewelry, pieces of oriental cloth woven with extreme skill, bolts of silks and satins and precious stones.

Cohen in the heat of his ardent love turned all these things over to Frieda, but whether he meant lor her to keep them for herself or whether she was a sort of trustee and guardian for the goods which was still owned by Cohen was a mooted question. It was not long until Cohen proposed, but met with the mercenary reply that if he would turn all his money and valuables over to the girl, she would become his wife. WOULDN'T GIVE MONEY. "Oh, I've been around some. You wait until we're are married and there's no doubt you'll get It all right." Mr.

Cohen said. This did not satisfy the girl. Cohen wasn't satisfied either. The girl was 22 years younger than lie and handsome. ARE ANGERED BY COUNCILS Many Republicans Declare That Their Party May Be Injured PEOPLE ARE GROWING WEARY.

AST GOOD HESTX.TS AXD SOT PET. TT POLITICS IX COrXClLS. WALTERS TALK WITH MAYOR. Republican members of Pittsburg councils are arousing the wrath of men anxious for the success of the party In this county. Declarations are being made that the councilmen are doing many things not calculated to win popular favor and the evidence of the formation of a combine In the Select branch also, Is causing genuine alarm.

It was the work of the old combine, containing many men who used the party cloak to get into office, that did much damage to Republican rrospects at one time, and doubtless cost many votes to John C. Haymaker when he was a candidate for mayor against W. Hays in 1W3. The combine stirred the people then by persistently holding up the ordinance giving the Wabash Railroad the right to enter the city, in the face of a strong public sentiment for the passage of the bill. Expressions of the people show that thev have grown tired of the game of petty politics in councils.

A well-known man, who has stood by the Republican party through thick and thin, said last night: JOG3 COUNCILS' MEMORY. "Councils should remember that whatever they do reflects credit or discredit on the Republican party, for both, branches of council wero organised, by Cohen said time after time that he would marry her, but her parents would not allow it. In the course of time the ardent wooer left Warsaw and went to London. The Dubovskys came to the Cnited States, but had no sooner arrived here than they petitioned the court to change their name to Cohen, which does sound a little more American than Dubovsky. After coming to the United States, the Cohen family No.

2 came to Pittsburg and moved to ICelly street, near Brushton avenue. A number of relatives came. There was David Dubovsky, the father, Mrs. Dubovsky, th mother, the fair Frieda, Jacob Nathan, who has subsequently become a tailor with a shop at Penn and Shady avenues, and Jennie Nathan, his wife, and others. After coming here, letters were sent to London to Cohen No.

1 and in that manner he found where Frieda and her people were. He lost no time but came to Pittsburg at once. There were two reasons that impelled this expeditious trip. One was that he wanted to secure a number of papers and pieces of jewelry and other pieces of goods which Frieda had been keeping for him, among which was a note for rubles. Then he wanted to see Frieda again.

Cohen arrived here last summer. ARRESTED IN CHICAGO. He spent the fall and winter here and, it is said, he again showered the fair Frieda with valuable gifts. Then after a time he said he was going to Chicago. He took a number of pieces of jewelry and other miscellaneous articles with him from the Dubovsky home and when he arrived in Chicago he was arrested for larceny and brought back here In the care of detectives.

At the trial he was defended by Attorney A. C. Stein and acquitted. Overlooking the fact that her family had had him arrested, Cohen again rressed the girl to marry him and secured a marriage license last Thanksgiving. "You can't marry your full cousin In this country," Cohen was told by friends.

"I don't care. I love her and I'll marry her anyhow," he replied. A breach of promise suit was instituted by the Dubovskys but this never came to trial, as it was evident that a man could not marry his cousin not- ELLIS Z. COHEN. withstanding the Russian law to the contrary.

Humors of more suits led Cohen Into a perturbed state of mind and he was advised to institute some suits himself and he did. He started by accusing four members of the Dubovsky family with conspiracy to defraud him of his money. The case would have come up for trial yesterday in the courts but Instead the litigants got together and matters were amicably adusted. The fair Frieda will now never marry Cohen. As for Cohen he says he doog not know what he will do.

Hp has a sufficiency of rubles to take life easy. the Republicans and are recognized as being controlled by them. There is only one sensible course for councils to pursue -and that is to support Mayor Guthrie and his administration in measures and policies that are designed for the public good and oppose any not calculated to produce such a result. Instead of following such a policy the majority in councils seem consumed with the Idea that the one thing to do Is to offer opposition to as many administration measures as possible and try to make political capital out of them. I cannot see that any capital has been made as yet.

Indeed I have reason to believe, judging by what I have heard among the people, that the reverse Is true. "There Is nothing to be gained by presenting to administration measures petty objections, the force of which nobody can recognize, and by apparently seeking to impede the work of the mayor in many ways. The course of councils with respect to the Monongahela Water plant question, street lighting, appropriation transfers and several other matters seems to have been governed more by a desire to embarrass the administration than by any concern for the public interest. Fa JP5- zO-jthtmoH 1-1-1-17-1112345 It makes no difference whether the mayor has been lofty or even discourteous inehis treatment of councils, resentment should not influence them In their official acts. The mayor should treat councils with all proper consideration, but even if he does not meritorious measures he proposes should receive the support of tha Republican majority.

SHOULD CRUSH COMBINE. "It appears now that a combine has been formed in councils. It should be crushed out of existence at once. The people and the party suffered enough from the old combine and the continued existence of the new one will throw discredit and suspicion on any move made by councils." Dr. E.

R. Walters, president of select council, has always contended that the Republicans should support the mayor when he proposes measures of merit and he contends that his course In councils has been consistent with his declarations. Dr. Walters called on tha mayor on Friday and had a long talk with him, principally on the Monongahela Water Co. question.

It was after this conference that Dr. Walters opposed President William Brand, of Common Council, when various measures were under consideration in the finance committee. "I would like to have anybody point out -where I have failed to support the administration," said Dr. Walters last Hit at I WE Our Cures Are Thorough and EXPERIMENTS!
