Editor Evening News: Please print in Everybody's Column the requirements necessary to become a member of the Daughters of the Revolution. Must one be a direct descendant from someone who served in the Revolutionary War, or would one whose great-grandfather's brother was a soldier be eligible? A READER. Buffalo, Feb.

26, 1906. Yes, such a lineage would admit a woman to the Daughters of the Revolution, but not to the Daughters of the American Revolution, which is the National society to which the Buffalo chapter belongs. To become a mnember of the Daughters of the American Revolution one must be a lineal descendant of a man who rendered military service to the colonies in the Revolutionary War. This From an Englishman! Editor Evening News: Much obliged for publishing my letter entitled "Canada will absorb the United especially on the birthday of George WashIngton, who won the respect of all Englishmen. I will now give you an Englishman's candid opinion of Buffalo, which may interest your readers.

Buffalo people are the most orderly, mC6L sober and most good natured people have ever met. I have been here four weeks, and have walked throughout the city with my eyes open, and have never seen violence, nor helpless drunken person, nor a beggar, not An arrest- not even a patrol wagon. Surely this is a model city. Buffalo has the bee: main street of any city its size in the world. Its great breadth a free flow of traftic, and in the evening the long stretch 01 beautiful electric Illumination surprises and delights a stranger.

The Government postoffice officials and police are very obliging to strangers. Superior street car service. I must say, though, in England the public would not tolerate the police being on duty swinging a tremendous club in their hand all the time The Buffalo police look as though they might be engaged in a life and death struggle any minute, the way they grip their clubs. The only time when a weapon should be in a policeman's hand is when he is compelled to use it. When not in use it should be out of sight.

I consider the Buffalo EVEN. ING NEWS the most straightforward paper 1 have read in my travels. L. GOODMAN. Buffalo, Feb.

24, 1906. Important Question Raised. Editor Evening News: I have read, with much interest, the letter Mr. Frank S. Oakes, president of the town of Cattaragus, which recently appeared in this column.

Mr. Oakes has done, and 16 dolog 8 great deal to improve conditions in his picturesque village. He is a very large owner of Buffalo real estate, and the fine work that he did in the interest of the enlargement of the Erie Canal is pleasantly and gratefully remembered. What he says in his letter regarding cheap power for Buffalo should recelve careful coneideration. In pointing to the possibility that "the already established power producers are supporting the esthetic side of the question because thereby their monopoly will be more fully Mr.

Oakes has suggested a condition that should and will receive International consideration. Buffalo must profit by the discussion of the question raised by "the gentleman from Cattaragus," and once again is shown the fact that "Everybody's Column" is a clearing house for good, bad and Indifferent ideas, and that questions of International importance are discussed therein. GEORGE M. SANDROCK. Buffalo, Feb.

24, 1906. Hot Shot for Brother Stauffer. Editor Evening News: A recent Interview with the Rev. Byron Stauffer, published in the NEWS calle for more than passing comment. We are led to inquire: Who de this alien, alleged to have been educated in Toronto, who presumes 16 criticize New Englanders on their pronunciation? We venture the assertion from close observation and after a residence of the major part of our life in that section, that nowhere are the rank and file more intelligent and nowhere is English spoken witn greater precision.

Every section or community has Its district or colloquialisms, this Is noticeably so in New England. They may say or Liddy, but I never beard used for law. I did, however, once bear a French Canadian woman, who could neither read nor write, say luyer for lawyer, I have sometimes thought she unconsciously hit the mark. Only the other Sunday I beard a Buffalo minister speak of power of the gospel unto sylvation." He must have been to Boston, too, for he mentioned the Hoo-sack tunnel accent very pronounced on the sack. In some parts of this State you hear people BAY "quite some" in the sense of long or a good deal.

Brother Stauffer was evidently in a reminiscent mood and a bit facetious withal. There is a plant at Jamalca Plain, where they make blowers and hot-air apparatus. Possibly he went down to lay in a fresh stock. Boston University fen't the only place. There 18.

JURORS GUARDED BY FOUR DEPUTIES LAST NIGHT.

(Continued from Page One.) JURORS GUARDED BY FOUR DEPUTIES LAST NIGHT. When court took a recess yesterday afternoon at 5:40 o'clock, Justice Kenefick took occasion to rewarn the jurors to refrain from talking about the case among themselves or with others, which, he reminded them, was an offense punishable with severe penalties. But, to insure security from the approach of the many emissaries supposed to be anxious to get at the jurors, the precautions of the night before were redoubled. The Jurors were placed in charge of four deputy sheriffs, L. B.

Fuller Yates Center, Clark Gillette of Kendall, Daniel car Drennan of Albion and Michael Gebhart Yates. Two of these were new ones on the job. Moreover, Fields of the Pinkerton Bureau, Buffalo, moved his quarters to a room in the hotel where he could command a view of all who went up and down the stairway and kept watch from that point of view all night. Matt, O'Loughlin of Buffalo also kept watch on the premises up to midnight. William W.

Bishop of Geneseo, Deputy County Clerk of Livingstone county, was the first witness. He went on the stand at 4:30 o'clock. He the papers relating to the incorporation and dissolution of the Lima Honeoye Electric Light and Railroad Company, on flle in his office. It was incorporated Oct. 3, 1898.

The record of Incorporation, the petition for dissolution and order of a justice of the Supreme Court granting the dissolution The Wonders of Spiritualism Distinguished scientists in America, Europe, France and Germany are giving much thought and close study to ghosts and other psychic phenomena. A dangerous study indeed. It has cost many a man his reason; but the folly of today may. be the wisdom of tomorrow. See Vance Thompson's remarkable fact-story in Everybody's for March.

6 Grybodys 15 cents a $1.50 a year between 1898 and 1904 made any report of any loan to Frank F. Williams?" Objected to by Shire. After some discussion, the court allowed the witness to be asked if the discount committee ever met. "Not that I am aware of." The question in dispute was then amended to read whother the auditing committee ever made any report on the loan to Williams. Mr.

Shire objected on the ground that the witness was not a member of the auditing committee. Judge Kenefick suggested that it be GEORGER LEAVING THE COURT DURING THE NOON RECESS. A Snapshot of the Defendant Taken at Albion and appointing Charles B. Hill receiver were exhibited. The order appointing the temporary receiver was made Nov.

15, 1898; the appointing of a permanent receiver July 31, 1899. The bonds of the receives, were Mr. all Shire entered conceded on the cours! attested by them. The orders and consents of attorneys for the receiver's certificates were also made the record. The order of the court Jan.

20, 1899, at Rochester was read, authorizing the issuing of receiver's certiflcates of Indebtedness not to exceed $11,800, for repairs to the road, for Newcomb Carlton, expert, and other operating expenses. It was conceded that Robert F. Schelling, attorney for the bondholders, consented to that order and similar ones of various dates for amounts of $8000 and $5635. Mr. Bishop finished his testimony without opening his mouth, except to give his name, residence and occupation.

FORMER CASHIER PAUL WERNER TAKES THE STAND. Paul Werner former cashier of the German Bank, was the second witness. He took the stand at 4:55 o'clock. He said he is now local manager of the Assets Realization Company of Chicago with offices at Buffalo. He was employed by the German Bank since 1873.

He related the history of the German Bank, the period of service of F. Augustus Georger, the first president, and of his son, President Eugene A. Georger. He identified the articles of association under which the bank did business, likewise the by-laws. He could not identify the copy as the original one.

He also identified the record of the transactions of the board of directors from May 15, 1874, to Dec. 21, 1904. The article relating to the loaning of money, from the by-laws, was read by Mr. Werner. Article 6, he sald, gave the President power to convene the board on special occasions, also to decide on all applications for loans and discounts.

Of the auditing and discount committees authorized by the by-laws, he said the examination committee was to meet twice a year. The discount committee was to consist of three directors, to examine once a week the loans and discounts made by the bank. On Nov 14, 1898, the discount committee consisted of Jacob Dold, Robert F. Schelling and John P. Diehl.

The auditing committee consisted of John Hauenstein and Adolph Machwirth. The makeup of the committee for succeeding years was as follows: Discount. Auditing. 1899. Adolph Machwirth Jacob Dold Robert F.

Schelling J. F. Schoellkopt John P. Diehl John Hauenstein 1900 Robert F. Schelling John Hauenstein John P.

Diehl Jacob Dold Adolph Machwirth John P. Diehl 1901 Jacob Dold Jacob Dold John P. Diehl John Hauenstein Robert F. Schelling Adolph Machwirth The committees were the same for the years 1902 and 1903. NO REPORT OF A LOAN TO WILLIAMS.

Mr, Werner was asked. "Have you examined the minutes of that book from 1898 to se if there is any record of any loan made by Georger to Williams?" PI have." "Was any reference made to any loan made to F. F. Williams?" Mr. Shire objected to the question a6 Incompetent and Improperly put.

Mr. Abbott asked in another way if at any meeting of the board of directors any mention was made by Georger. or anybody of any loans to F. Willjams. "No mention was made in my presence." said Mr.

Werner. "Can you say whether or not the varlous auditing and discount committees ADDITIONAL WANTS their pens, well as with their mouths. Their names were Harriet Beecher Stowe and Abigail Hamilton.

Some comic opera features unusual in the ordinary strike in Chicago will be seen tomorrow when the annual "walk-out" of the Lathers' Union takes place.

According to custom, the strike will last about 24 hours. It may be shorter, but the best of good feeling between employers and strikers will exist all the time. In preparation for the annual "difficulty" two adjacent halls engaged yesterday. One is for the strikers and the other will serve as a headquarters for the employers. In another room a big blackboard will show the names of various lathing firms involved in the As fast as one firm "settles," Its name will be erased from the board.

That also will be a signal for the men in the employ of that contractor to return to work. The lathers hope that their employers will see fit to raise their wages from $4 to $4.50 a day. In the event of a refusal, however, it is probable no radical steps such as the calling of a real strike will be taken. BAKER-BOUCICAULT WEDDING. WASHINGTON, Feb.

William D. Mann of Town Topics committed perjury at the trial of Norman Hapgood for criminal libel was put in yesterday by Asst. Hart. Martin W. Littleton, counsel for Col.

Mann, made a motion to dismiss the charge, in which he attacked the prosecution of Col. Mann and the conduct of a the Norman Hapgood trial by Dist.Atty. Jerome. After Mr. Littleton's speech an adjournment was taken for two weeks, so that Mr.

Jerome can sonally reply to Mr. Littleton. In his speech Mr. Littleton referred to the Hapgood trial as a hippodrome. He asked that the charge against Col.

Mann be dismissed, as there was not enough evidence to support the charge. He said that Col. Mann had been maliciously persecuted, and demanded to know if there was evidence of blackmail or extortion against Col. Mann, why a charge of that kind was not made. Mr.

Littleton made a severe attack on Moses Ellis Wooster connection with the Count Reginald Ward letter and the Rice stock transaction. JONATHAN SIDWAY DEAD.

The by-laws provide for discount and auditing committees of the directors, whose duties were to specially Investigate loans, but these duties rested so lightly on their shoulders that they rarely met or investigated, but put their childlike trust in Georger. "It is just as clear a case of stealing as if he had called in an unknown and dirty tramp off the street and said: 'Here, give me your note for $1000; take the $1000, and when you get outside the bank, give me $500 of There was plain criminal intent all the way through this transaction. "Proving the facts which I have outlined to you, we shall expect you, an American jury, to find a verdict in accordance with the Indictment." INCENDIARY FIRE IN LUMBER YARD.
