As a conse- ijuence of Mr. Cushman's Interesting Itperience, Capt. Sohmlttberg-er had prisoners in the West Twentieth Ireet Police Station last night. They Hejiry Morgan, or Somerville, who feiys he Is part owner of a Thirty-fourth saloon, and who lives at No. 7 Sixty-third street; Maud Meers, Rjxteen years -old, who gave her address as No.

222 East Thirty-eighth street; Charles H. Moran, twenty-live years old, an eeletrician, No. 260 West Thirty- eighth street, and Charles P. Milton, old, an electrician, No. 274 Eighth, avenue.

Morgan, after Introducing Maud as his Cughman trial he was ono of Jha managers of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and that by the of three telegraph operators he the names of the winning ihorses in the races away ahead of the It was a sure Jearh the name of a winner and then fbet oil him. The operators were to bti paid 5200 a day, but to demonstrate the "splendid scheme lo Ciiahman they would work one day for nothing. Morgan took Cushman to a pool-room somewhere on Flftynlnth street, but, or -pretended to bet, $75 on a hur.se. and won; or pretended to win, $UOO. Gushman was very much impressed.

Going downtown, when they wore in front ol! the Herald Square Theatre, Morgan was counting out -the money to Cushman when a man ran up to them and declared that one the telegraph operators "would not stand" fur working a day for nothing. UN Inn an Gcta Money. Cushmun.returned home fur the $5,000, and on he came back to town. Then he demanded proof of tho pull with, the Westerrir.TJnion TelegraplvQpmpany.

The Cushmarj insisted upon betting own money. Morgan showed him a-message which read: "Place money on Free Lance." Cushman handed over his 85,000 to Milton, through thto cashier's a while Milton began to describe the race, announcing Free La-nco as the winner, All on.

Free Ijiuicc. A minute later Milton exclaimed: a mistake, Free was Morgan and Moran bitterly reproached Cushman "Don't you see," they said, "place all your on Free Liance. if you'd let us bet your' money for you we would have backed Free Lance for a place and you would have won." That evening Cushman went to Capt. and told of his dearly bought experience. MlHon was arrested last night.

The others' were remanded in Jefferson Market Court yesterday. another charge against the prisoners. William Dunwoody. fifty-live years old, a retired merchant, No. 31(1 West Twenty-fifth declares they swindled him out of 82,000 last July In very much same way as rhey got Cushman's money.

To frighten Dunwoody they showed him what looked like a jiews- paner clipping, describing a raid on a 'poolroom and stating that the pones' were very anxious to catch a "man with side whiskers, who spoke with a strong foreign accent." This described Dun- woociy, "who kept out of the way until he'was convinced he was dealing with rogues. AWTI-EBBE PASS BILL KILLED. Georgia LegrlNlfitorM Not in Kavor of Paying Jtailroud Fiirc. (Spoclol to TJio ATIiANTA, Oct. The Georgia Legislature to-day practically defeated a bill' which' sought to deprive of free transportation, which all tho rall- ii'pada of the State are now conferring members.

The measure was Introduced by Representative Hall, of and. favorably reported by the to which It 'had been referred. It came up for" "consideration i'there was a lively debate, Mr. Hall tak- Jng the ground that members accepting 'courtesies from railroads, express, telegraph or sleeping-car corporations were unconscious! luencod In the dlsposl- tlpn oif any I' that might develop. islators however, took a different of It, and when the matter came to "to shelved the bill by a asolslve majority.

(Special to The World.) LANSING. Oct. of woman's suffrage In this and other States where the question has received the slightest attention were Interested In the recent decision of the Supremo Court of Michigan, in the case of Mrs. Merrie H. Abbott.

At the last election Mrs. Abbott was chosen by a majonlty of four votes Prosecuting Attorney of Ogcmaw County. Immediately her success was announced the case was called to the attention of Attorney-General Orren, who Instituted quo warranto proceedings to tost her right to hold the office. It was the contention of the Attorney- General that the ofllce of Prosecuting Attorney is a constitutional oflice, created by the Constitution of this State, which expressly provides that such official shall be chosen by the electors of tho respective conn and that such tors iiave no authority under the Constitution and laws to elect other than one oC "their own number to such office. Mrs.

Abbott's contention was that the Constitution and law do not expressly require that the Prosecuting Attorney, shall be an elector, while for some other offices named in the Constitution this qualification Is distinctly required. It was also contended by Mrs. Abbott that the common law of the State does not forbid a woman to hold the office of Prosecuting Attorney. This was the matter that Michigan's Supreme Court, with no little trepidation, took up, and that It was carefully and seriously considered Is seen in the almost exhaustive opinions of Justice: Long, Grant, Montgomery, Hooker and Moore. Of these, the first four were unanlmoui in pronouncing Mrs.

Abbott Ineligible. But Justice Moore! Women of agffres slve characters, those who believe weaker sex should have all the priv lieges of the stronger, should place his portrait In the most sacred precincts their homes, for it was he, and he alone who upheld Mrs, Abbott hi her light. Justice Long sums up In substance tne opinions of the majority when he writes "Whatever may be said of some of the decisions of. other States, which counse contend are at varia.nce with tho cases above cited and quoted from, it Is difficult to get away from the proposition laid flown by Judge Cooley that 'when the law Is silent reapeotlng the qualification to office, It must be understood that electors are eligible, but no The balm offered to the wounded feel- Ings of thousands of woman suffragists throughout the country by Justice Mooro is a slight palliation for their disappointment In what, to them, was the most Important case of Its kind in years. Justice Moore contends 'that by granting Mrs, Abbott a certificate to practise law tho State has held her out to all individuals as a person competent to do so.

"If the people see fit," Is asked, "hy electing her to an oflice, the duties of which almost wholly pertain to the practice of thf law, to employ her to represent them In their litigation, why should not the courts recognize such employment?

In conclusion Justice Moore states that the great weight of authority sustains the claim that where the statutes and Constitution are silent as to the qualifications for a given office the people may elect whom they will If tho person elected IK competent to discharge the duties of the ofllce. In this case there was no question of competency.

Mrs. Abbott Is not discouraged. She will continue the flght, and the next lieard of the case will be before United States Supreme Court on a writ oC error. Mrs. Abbott can command almost unlimited money with which to light the decision.

In Washington several society ride as'ride in spite of all comment, notably among them being Mrs.

There the Health Protective Association Is doing vigorous work to Induce hopsewomen to dlscrrd sldc-sad- dles and ride astride with two stirrups.

One of the most active workers in this movement Is -Mrs. N. A. Gilbert, of No. 1134 Case avenue, In that city.

Mrs. Gilbert is one of the members of the Executive Board of the association. She says: "Women should wear divided skirts anil take the same position on a horse that a man dees.

In case he should die, the petitioner, who Is his next of Kin, would inherit what remained of the property McOorniick after his death. During the hearing yesterday before Justice O-arretson McCormick listened attentively to the testimony of witnesses When the physician in the asylum said he was Incurable and Incompetent tc manage his McCormick laughed outright and shook his head. The physician said that tho man's unwillingness to work was an Indication of his demented condition. That also caused McCormick to laugn. On the witness stand McCormick was lues-Honed by former Congressman Magncr as to Ills ago.

Ho was unable trlve the exact date of his birth. It developed afterward, however, that he nuy-nvt years old. lie had cirunk leavlly some years ago and was sent to he asylum for treatment. Mr. Magner asked McCormick If his Jrotlier was nut a petitioner some time ISO In a proceeding brought to have ilm declared a lunatic.

MnCorrnlck dolled that such was the caSo. Mr. Magler then showed him a drawn up by his brother and asked him the lamed signed to It was not that of his irother. McCormick said It was not. VIr.Magner then asked him how he knew hat'it was not his brother's signature.

McCormick smiled, and throwing hlm- elf back in the witness chair said: '1 know It Is not his signature, because cbuld not write, and that is ono on fou."

In the answer returned the Jury found fiat he was not capable of managing Is estate and that he was demented, lawyer John C. L. Daly moved for a ew trial.

The motion was denied by ustlce Garretson for the reason that questions passed upon by the jury have to be considered at Special 'errh of the Supreme Court, which 'ould be the proper place to make such motion.
