Miss Gaillard's affidavit stated that the witness had heard Jones' mother read a letter from her son in which he said he had been offered thousands of dollars to upset the Rice plan. Mother Showed Agitation. In reading this letter.

Miss Gaillard testified Jones's mother stopped abruptly when she came to the offer of money. Explaining her agitation Mrs. Jones told the witness that her son was receiving a salary of $25 a month and that sha feared he might yield to temptation. The witness said that she once overheard Jones telling about a check. Rice was not forced to sign this check, Jones had said but he (Jones) had moved the decimal point to make it a thousand.

Jones said he made the check out to Patrick because he thought he himself could not get it cashed. Questioned by Mr. Jerome about the testimony she had previously given concerning a conversation in a street car between Mayor Rice, of Houston, Texas, and Jones, Miss Gaillard said that when Rice told Jones he "carried out those instructions well." he might have been referring to the care of his office in the cotton exchange in Houston.

26. The arrest or one of the witnesses, Joseph Jordan, brought here from Texas to testify in behalf of Albert T. Patrick, now in Sing Sing prison condemned to death for the murder of William Marsh Rice, marked the climax of to-day's hearing before Recorder Goft on the motion for a new trial of the now famous case. He Is charged with perjury and the complaint is signed by District Attorney Jerome. Jordan testified in behalf of Patrick last week that he had overheard Charles F.

Jones, Rice's volet, who turned State's evidence, confess that Patrick was innocent of the crime for which he stands convicted. Jordan was closely questioned by Mr. Jerome at the time and partic Kuhn, Loeb Co. Have No Time to Attend to Duties. NEW YORK, Feb.

26. Members of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb have determined to retire from all railroad boards in which the firm Is represented, it was announced to-day, owing to the time needed in meeting the demands of their own business and at the same time giving the necessary time and attention to the performance of their duties as directors of corporations. Jacob H. Schiff is the head of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb Co. Pursuant of this policy members of the firm on Wednesday last resigned from the following boards: Union Pacific Railroad Company, Baltimore Ohio railroad, Baltimore Ohio Southwestern, Chicago Alton.

Denver Rio Grande, Northern Securities Company, Oregon short line railroad. Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, Rio Grande Western railroad, Southern Pacific Company, Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and a number of subsidiary corporations. Miss Anna Beckwith Smith, Trackage rights over the Philadelphia Reading are said to have been secured by George Gould to get a New York terminus for the trans-continental system, which he is completing. The arrangement for which negotiations are said to have been about closed is to have the Western Maryland connect with the Reading at iSiiippensburg, and run its trams to New York via the Reading from that point. This will not prevent the Gould interests from building their own road to the metropolis in the near or distant future, either from Shippens-burg or from some other point on one of the Gould lines.

If an arrangement can be reached with the Reading in time, through services from West Virginia to New York may be established in April or May, at the same time the first passenger trains are run from the West Virginia Central to the Western Maryland via the Cherry Run-Cumberland connection completed about February 1. When the connection between the Western Maryland system and the Wabash is built it will be possible to operate Gould system trains across the continent with a terminus at New York. It has been understood since Gould announced his attention of having a connection to the Atlantic seaboard by the Western Maryland, that he proposed to ret into Philadelphia and New York Their Pursuit Began After an Attack on the Father, Says Son. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Feb.

26. Robert J. Collier, publisher of "Collier's Weekly," went on the witness stand to-day in the hearing of Colonel William D. Mann, editor of "Town Topics," on a charge of perjury. This charge grew out of the sensational libel suit brought recently against Norman Hapgood, editor of "Collier's Weekly," and which was decided for Mr.

Hapgood. Mr. Collier said that he and his father. Peter F. Collier, expect to pay the expenses of the prosecution of Colonel Mann, even if they reach $200,000.

His paper began its attacks on Colonel Minn in 1904, he said, following the publication in "Town Topics" of an article reflecting on the private life and social career of his father, P. F. Collier. He said also that ever since that article appeared he and his father had been waiting for the opportunity which was furnished last summer by the arrest of Charles Ahle on a charge of attempting to blackmail Edwin M. Post, a broker.

Mr. Collier said that since he began actively following up charges against Colonel Mann he has had' for this purpose an office at 73 Broadway, separate from the office of "Collier's Weekly." He testified also that he has been paying Charles Stokes Wayne, former managing editor of "Town Topics," and Moses E. Wooster, the agent for "Fads and Fancies," salaries of $100 weekly for their services in connection with the Mann case. "Have you considered that being tinder salary of $100 a week to you the testimony of Wayne and Wooster might have been in your favor regardless of the facts in the case?" asked Mr. Littleton.

"I had considered that," replied Mr. Collier. Speaking of the criminal libel suit of Justice Duel against "Collier's Weekly," the witness said: "Wo were sorry that Justice Duel Instituted the criminal action. We had hoped Colonel Mann would take the initiative. We considered Colonel Mann the chief villain in the Town Topics Fads and Fancies' outfit." "Do you know whether Colonel Mann ever wrote a letter demanding money from any person?" Mr.

Littleton asked. "Yes. I would not hav sworn to an affidavit to that effect If I did not have that knowledge," replied Mr. Collier. v.

He declared he had never been in prison. Jordan a Former Prisoner. William G. Murray, who was a guard at the penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas, from 1377 to 182. identified Jordan as a man who was once a prisoner in his charge.

Miss Minnie Gaillard. the Texas schoolteacher, declined to gie her age when requested to do so by District Attorney Jerome, but when Mr. Jerome threatened to have her committed for contempt of court, she said that she is "between S3 and 50." Mr. Jerome questioned the witness about the affidavit in which Fhe stated that she heard Charles F. Jones, Rice's valet say that Patrick did not kill Rice.

She said her purpose in making this affidavit was to help Patrick if possible.

We warn you against druggists who do actions of this kind.

This defection of the Reading, if it is consummated, will be surprising and will probably result in bitter feeling between the Reading and Pennsylvania interests.

Tfce Gould line info New York would be as short as. or shorten than, the Baltimore Ohio from Cumberland and the West, and as the Baltimore Ohio, a Pennsylvania interest, uses the Reading from Philadelphia to New York, the situation will be complicated. A Car Record Departure. The semi-official announcement made by "The Post" a few weeks ago that the Pennsylvania railroad had made an m-novation by instituting in Freight Trainmaster Edward Pitcairn's office, at the Union station, a system of car records for the information of the division superintendents here, is made the subject of a lengthy editorial in the 'Railway Age," which considers this move significant. It says in part: "For many years it has been regarded as almost axiomatic that the logical place for car records is in a bureau of the general offices.

At first this worked well. Of late the enormous volume of business has caused the breaking down of previously satisfactory methods. On a system of any size the car records in the general office are two days or more behind the actual movement. ''No better operating unit than the division is likely to be developed. To expect a division superintendent to move traffic intelligently he must have information at first hand.

The superintendent of termina.s or of a terminal division needs the most complete records of all." The article throughout is in favor of this innovation as conducive to service most easily directed by the superintendent and most satisfactory to shippers. Wabash's Lorain Plans. Engineers are now engaged on surveys for the branch line by which the Wabash will pet into Lorain. This branch will be as will the Bolivar cutoff, under the charter of the Sugar Creek Ohio Northern, and the Wabash will nave its terminals in Lorain manufacturing plants through a belt line around that city, which has been bought outright. The.

engineers working at Lorain are making plans for a large yard near the United States Steel Company's plant, and for a. storage yard of six or more tracks at another point. The river at Lorain will be bridged by a structure near tnat of the Nickel Plate. Work on these terminal improvements will probably be started this summer. Retire W.

H. Brown To-Morrow. Official action by the board of directors of the Pennsylvania railroad to retire Chief Engineer W. H. Brown will be taken at the meeting to be held in Philadelphia to-morrow afternoon, and Thursday will probably see the new chief engineer in office.

A. C. Shand, the scheduled successor to Mr. Brown, will probably be appointed to-morrow, and If Mr. Shand is to have a successor as assistant chief engineer the man Tor the place will probably be named to-morrow.

It is not certain that there will be an assistant chief engineer. Mr. Brown will go abroad, visiting Japan and other parts of the Occident. Employes Remember G. D.

Ogden. Employes of the division freight offices of the Pennsylvania railroad in Pittsburgh yesterday surprised George IX Ogden, who leaves the division freight agency of the Valley to-morrow to become assistant general freight agent at Philadelphia. At 3 o'clock, headed by Division Freight Agent S. L. Seymour, they Invaded Mr.

Ogden's sanctum, and after a short speech Mr. Seymour presented his colleague of the past few years with a handsome oil painting, the gift of those directly under and associated with him in the division freight offices. The surprise was thoroughly successful, and Mr. Ogden expressed his gratification at this recognition in a few words. He will leave this week to take up his new duties.
