NEW YORK. May 22 —"lf I am guaranteed Immunity from certain In dlctments that are hanging over mo in Br»x>klyn, 1 will tell the whole story of the murder of Mrs. Lena Whitmore last Christmas night, though l was nut present, or implicated in It.

J as a w itness against Motorman Theo s* Whitmore, is wait ing today for official assurances of Immunity and will unbosom himself Just as soon as he receives them Though Bartlett has so far told only a small part of what he knows, of ficial* believe that he will be able to solve the puzzling feature of the Jer sey swamp mystery, and, probably, will make good hi* declaration that *lrj Whitmores husband struck the fatal blow. Ever since the discovery of the body of an unidentified woman lying nude and dead lu the shallow water of Lampblat k swamp, at Harrison, N J on the morning after last Christ mas, the mystery of her eud has been dense Identified a» this anj that missing one by many persons. It was not for two weeks that her real iden tlty was known Theu. traced by means of u button from a coat that she had worn, it was discovered that the victim was Mrs Lena Whitmore, wife of Theodore and Whitmore, a mo torman of 23b Adams-st, Brooklyn Heard Him Threaten Woman. Bartlett declares that Whitmore had many times threatened his wife with death because of her association with a Harry Hendrickson He further declared that on one oc- caslon Whitmore and himself had lain iu wait for the woman when she was out with Hendrickson, and while Bart-I lett beat Hendrickson. Whitmore' struck the woman so hard that he broke his knuckles upon her face. The prisoner, who was never sus pected of being closely connected with the crime, made his utter of confession to his attorney. Geo Boettner. This lawyer took his offer to Prosecutors Vickers and Garvan, who will present the case against Whitmore to th* jury, aud a»k if they could secure the Immunity of the man. Bartlett told his counsel that he was with Whitmore on Christmas nlgnt. and kuew the latter s movements, but left him before Mrs. Whitmore was choked to death and then thrown into the pond in Lampblack Denied Wife’s Body. Bartlett was arrested on Jan 3 On itbe night before that day, Whitmore I had been taken to the Harrison morgue to look at the body of the vlc ftim. who was then still unknown. He said he did not know her, and was taken back to Brooklyn. He was uot under arrest, as the officers were not sure of the woman s Identity. On account of the dependence the state was placing upon Its circumstan tial evidence, the unusual procedure of having a supreme court Justice as well as a judge upou the bench, was arranged for When the case begius Monday.

Kerslake. the New Zealander, who has made himself famous the world over as a trainer of pigs, has brought to this country a company of barn yard “grunters" which, at least as far as higher education is concerned, put to blush the American hug of com merce. Kerslake declares the hog was nev er made to tickle the palate of the epicure. “He is much too intelligent and refined to become a martyr to gastronomy,” says the New Zealand porcine pedngogue. Kersiake’s pigs skip the rope, dance, ride velocipedes, play leap-frog and shoot the chutes. The act they do is one of the re markably clever aud funny novelties found on the program of Rlngllng Brothers’ World’s Greatest Shows this season. Various European animal trainers contribute to this year's excellent bill. The many other specialties, mostly foreigners, have been select ed with the end in view of giving the public novelty and variety. This sea son's company numbers 375 perform ers.

Harr McCutcheon. This story has a real plot. An American is asked to impersonate an English sclentiAc gen tUman. The Impersonation Is neces sary to frustrate u wicked plot, und the assuming possession of the Eng lishman’s wife Is necessary to the Im personation. So it Is that Edith has two husbands, the real one. who is absent, and the pretended one, who Is very much present, and altogether a desirable thing for a husband. Edith is sore distrait, for it Is not pleasant to have to say "dear” In public to a man who Is not "hubby” but whom one wishes were. Os course the diffi culties resolve themselves In the end of things, and Edith and both her hus bands come out of the affair with colors Hying. This volume will fur nish very pleasant reading for an hour or two. In all points of manufacture the book Is excellent. (Dodd. 54etui New York. Ma eauley Bro*.. Sheehan'*, und Hudson's. Dcti ott>. "The Footprint.” by Gouverneur Morris. In this volume the author has collected several of his briefer tales. Many of them have earlier appeared in the magazines. Mr. Morris has a rugged and picturesque style which compels attention. His themes, too, are original. The opening story, which gives iis name to the volume, is some what uncanny. Hut all of the others, both in the cleverness of their con ception and the manner of their tell ing. are excellent and will surely give much pleasure to the reader. (('has. Scribner’s Sons.

A pleasant young woman aud her practical aunt take to housekeeping in a romantic old home stead of Vermont. They have no very exciting experiences, and do nothing at all extraordinary.

Bridget Burke is a heroine worth knowing, from the time of her deso late landing at Ellis Island to her tri umphant culmination. A beautiful, wonderful Bridget, who Is Irish and proud of it, and one whose friends and the others with whom she comes In contact learn to hold in profound re spect. There are two sides to the story, u squalid, barroom side, and a glittering Fifth-ave. side, but Bridget is always Bridget. The one who judges books by titles might Imagine that this book is merely a throwing together of brogue aud alleged humor. A graver Injustice could scarcely be done, for ts Is one of the best of the stories of Irish men and women. It It well worth reading. (B. W Dodge A Cos., New York.

The idea of the book Is that the next step Is the com ing of Christ again but with ‘this dif ference from Hls former appearance that as He once came to the race of man on the plane of the senses He Is now to come within their vision by raising man up to the plane of His spiritual comprehension. Dr. Funk’s volume has been warmly received and commended widely In the press for Its sincerity, Its breadth of view and Its clearness of expres sion. There is nothing of the trans ccudental In It, neither obscurity of thought In any direction, it Is free from dogmatism though firm in state ment of belief and rational in its argu ments.

Mr. Crawford has the oppor tunity for a conventional ending, which he dexterously avoids, ami he j leaves the way open for a sequel to his sequel. Indeed, there will be some curiosity to have a volume that will clear up such a mystery. “The Prlmadonna" is a story of ex traordinary interest. It is seasoned with a full portion of Mr. Crawford's ripe philosophy about men, women and life. Indeed, there are more than we are wont to receive of his observa tlons concerning things generally known about because of the time and places in which he has cast this tale.

Says She Gave Hibbler S2OO. “Then Capt. Newberry walked out and left me alone with Hlbbler," said the witness, "and Hibb ler told me If 1 would put up SSOO he would see that I got protection. At that time Julian Toth was doing busi ness across the street. 1 agreed to give him the money and gave him S2OO at that time. The money was in two |l(/0 bills. “About 15 minutes later Capt. New f berry came back. He said to me. when he found 1 had paid over the money. ‘Of course. Annie, I can’t give you a receipt for this.’ “Hibbler came down again two days later and said he had talked it over with the commissioner. Then he wanted the other S3OO. Hje said, now that the thing was started it mustn't stop. The money didn't all belong to him, he said. I gave the other S3OO at that time in three one-hundred bills. Hibbler said he would bring the commissioner over. “Was anything said about the Toth woman?" “Hlbbler said she would be put out of business.” "And was she put out of business "Yes, sir, a few days afterward.” Annie said that Hibbler brought Commissioner Smith to her place a week later and Introduced him. "Do you see the gentleman here now?" Annie Picks Out Smith. “Yes, sir, the gentleman with the red tie sitting by the table," and An nie smiled while the commissioner looked displeased. “We sat and talked together In the living room,” continued the wit ness, “Smith, Hlbbler and myself. We talked about Favor and 1 told the commissioner Favor was demanding stuff from me all the time. Mr. Smith said he would Investigate." "What else did you talk about?" "Well, the commissioner said he had another good friend besides Hib bler. That was Mr. Cox. a lawyer, and he said Cox hud told him If he could open Julian Toth’s place, with the commissioner’s consent, he (Cox) could make 1500. But the commis sioner said hs would not do as much for anybody as he would for Hibbler. "Then Mr. Smith wanted to look through my place. He spoke of one of the girls he met as being ’very nice.’ He saw my punch bowl and thought It very pretty. Punch Bowl Episode. "Hlbbler came down the next day and told me I ought to buy a punch bowl for the commissioner as a Pres ent. Everything had been fixed all right, he said, and I would have pro tection as long as the commissioner was In office, which would be uutll July, 1909. “We had several talks about the punch bowl and a week before Christ mas he brought down a catalogue. He pointed to the picture of one he sold his wife had picked out and though* the commissioner would like It. 1 wanted to buy It myself, but he said he could get It cheaper, because li*» could get 20 per cent discount, lie figured out that the punch bowl he hod picked out would cost with glosses, fay and ladle. I counted out the doner and laid it on the ia ble. Capt. Newberry came in then and saw the money lying there. My hr fender. Steve, also saw It. Then H!Ub»er picked It up and said, 'I done o little business with Annie. I guess I’d better put this in my pocket.' “HlbMer came again the next day and said he would go and get the bowl. He said he had told the com mlssloner, if you ain’t good to Annie you won't gst no present.' “A few days later Hlbbler told me he had given the punch howl to Mr. Smith nnd that the commissioner Ilk ed It very mtfeh. He was going to bring the commissioner down, he sold, to convince me that he had really purchased a punch bowl and had not put the money In his pocket. The [commissioner did not come down *oou after New Year, but nothing was said about the punch bowl.'* That was the commissioner's latt visit, according to Annie. She sukl that lie made four in all and on ueur ly every occasion, she declared, he had said to her in substunce: “Don’t worry, Annie, as long as I am com missioner no one can hurt you.” Hibbler Boasts of Hts Full, i Hibbler was always talking about what he could do with the commis sioner, the witness auid, and once, in the commissioner's presence. Hibbler I cited as an instance of bis "pull” that he had secured the promotion of Win. Rutledge from sergeant to lieutenant, Annie testified. According to Auuie. Hibbler called at her place about every other day, regularly, and sometimes no day would mtervene. He also sent her presents, she said, and a card Hat had been attached to a bunch of roses und bearing the inscription “A Happy New Year, Johnson,” was In troduced in evidence. Annie said Hib bier had instructed her to ask for Mr. Johnson if she ever called him up at his house ami ids wife auawciv ed tiie 'phone, and because the flow ers were sent In this name she con cluded Hibbler had sent them. The next time she saw Hibbler she thank ed him for the flowers and he replied, according to the witness: "The longer I know you the prettier flowers 1 will send you.” Revolver to Shoot Coupon. A revolver, in a plush-Hned case. was Introduced In evidence und An tile said Hibbler gave it to her with the suggestion that she shoot Charles Coulson If he continued to bother her. Annie told of an incident she said I took place when the commissioner [first visited tier place, in the saloon Smith met Charles Wollln, a former j deputy sheriff, and him warm jly by the huud, saying, "Hello, Charley.” “Afterwards.” said Annie, “tho I commissioner said to me Look out for that fellow, he's a crook.’ I thought it was funny he should speak [of the man In that way, after he had been so nice to him in the saloon. Newberry’s “Highball" Postal. The “highball” postal card sent by Capt. Newberry to Annie from St. Louis in March, 1907, was Introduced in evidence and, following It, another alleged to have been sent bv the cup tain, which, Annie said, related to the revolver Hibbler had given her. The card is on the comic order and shows a woman kneeling in front of a picture labeled “Charlie." In the woman's belt is u revolver and a dirk and within her immediate reach are a shotgun, Indian club, baseball bat, a sword and an ux. in one corner is the inscription: THE MAIDENS VOW IN 11*08. Charlie shall propose tonight, 1 swear it by yon twinkling star; For ages past might lias been right. And ull is fair In love und war. At this time, Annie said. Coulsou's activities against her had Jußt begun. It was noticeable, however, that the writing on the two postal cards did not correspond. Annie testified that Hibbler once told her tliat for S2OO be could se cure the appointment of a Hungarian to the police force, but it did not ap pear that any such deal had ever been closed. !By this time the court was ready for a recess, for the crowded court room. stuffy under ordinary con ditions, was becoming most uncom fortably hot. After a breathing spell Annie started In on Capt. New-berry and told in minute detail of his al leged grafting operations. It was Jeweler H. Koester. she said, who first suggested a present for the captain. Newberry's Alleged Graft. "I asked what the captain would like," sue continued. "He said he didn't know but would find out. The next time I called at the store Mr. Koester told me that he had seen the captain and that the captain would like a cut gluss punch bowl. 1 picked out out and paid sl4 for it. 1 told Mr. Koester that. I didn’t know the cap tain's addresH t und he said he would attend to that part of It. The next time l saw the captain he told me he had received the present aud that he and his wife liked it very much. 'Everybody who comes to the house remarks about it,’ he said." That was the beginning of Annie's tribute to the captain, according to her story on the stand. The captain next wanted a diamond ring, she said, und Christmas, 1906, she gave him one she had bought for 9&5 on Monroe ave., she said. But Capt. Newberry, Annie declared, never was satisfied with that ring, complaining that it wag too small. Mor« Presents for Newberry. “He kept after me all the time, say ing it was too little aud all that." con tinued Uhe witness, “and finally he asked me to buy him a diamond stud. About four months later I did buy him a stud, paying $350 for it, and had The Knock-out Blow. The blow which knocked out Corbett wu a revelation to the prize fighter!). From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the Jugular vein. Stomach punches were throw u In to worry and weary the fighter, but if a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that tha Dost vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an ignoramus.

A lady writes me that she has tried to become an author and poet for years, bui has met with no success. This lady has a good home and hus band and an interesting family. She says;- j “I still have a home, but have to sp* nd mo|v time than I really care to washing dishes. I think It Is the most dispiriting kind of domestic work. I am said to wash them most beauti fully. and yeur In and year out I sel dom bicak one I must confess I think there are more fascinating tasks than washing dishes. There are also worse ones. I have never been able to understand how any woman who has dishes to wash permits them to occupy so much of her time The average housekeeper allows her dishes to dominate her instead of dominating the dishes. The work is like any other —It Is only half the task when met with an Intelligent pre paration Plenty of hot, very hot, water. Is the main thing, and not one housekeeper In one hundred ever has It ready! Then a little system In getting the least soiled dishes at hand first, and a lot of dispatch In getting at the work and through it---hot. boiling hot. rins ing water —and there you are, with only a few dishes needing the touch of n wiping towel even. Then every time a dish Is used be tween meals wash it out and put It in Its place. Do not toss It aside to be cleansed "with others." Don't leave your breakfast dishes to be wftghed with your lunch vessels. I have seen a woman go about her laundry work with breakfast dishes Unwashed; she was too busy to do them. That type of woman will never on earth make a success of anything. She will always have a lot of Irons In the fire and no one of them will ever get hot. It would be well for mv correspond ent to realize that far worse than having too many dishes to w-ash Is It to have no dishes at all and no home. To be an excellent home maker and keeper lb better than being a medio cre poet and author. There are a great many more of the latter In the world today, however, than the for mer. Yet If ray correspondent has real talent, she should use It. Sometimes success Is long In coming, but If one has a message for humanity it will he heard in time. 1 do not believe In "mute, Inglorious Miltons." The tem perament and the feeling are some times given without the power of ex pression i Many people feel so deeply that they believe they can write, but they lack that one necessary gift of utter ance, My correspondent may be one of these. In which case the only sen slble thing for her to do Is to be sat isfied that she can feel and enjoy the works of others, and to be especially grateful that she has a home and is not struggling along with life, with only a pen to lean upon COLUMBUS. 0..

OAHAttAN Tmuurrr Slip Owners Get Near the Treasury Vaults at the Eleventh Hour Amendment to Postoffica Bill Amounting to Some Subsidy, •t Lssst, May Bo Rusßsd Through Congrsss. treasury vaults to the ship owners, but this grab has been averted upon each occasion in the lower house. WHOSE MEMBERS ARE elected. These ship owners, however, with ghoulish persistence, still lie vtrouched in the shadows under the capitol eaves, ready to spring Upon their prey the moment the public is not looking. Their presumption passes all understanding. There is really something kind of creepy about it. The same sort of feeling you get late on a dark night when you 'come to imagine that the fellow behind you is persisting in follow ing you. Senator Gallinger has already tried this session of congress for r ship subsidy but failed, finding that public sentiment had undergone no change. But the shipping interests hang on like leeches, and now we ifind they have broken into the postoffice bill through an amend [ment made in the senate. Os course, in the senate, which says in this instance, that we rOUght to do AT LEAST SOMETHING for them out of the treas ury* This amendment authorizes the postmaster general to contract with steamship lines running to ports of South America, Philippine islands. Japan, China and Australasia for the carrying of the mails, land to pay to vessels of the second-class the same rate that is now (paid on American vessels of the first-class to Europe, and to vessels 'of the third-class the rate now authorized for vessels of the second -class. There are no American lines of the first-class to the countries pnamed, and the effect of this legislation will be, it is claimed, to the establishment of passenger and mail steamship lines to ports of those countries. The conferees on the postoffice appropriation bill have agreed ISo accept the senate amendment and the belief is expressed that the i&ouse will concur. Though in the form of a boosted rate for carrying the mails, this is nothing more or less than ship subsidy. For it there can be advanced but one argument, which is miser ably weak. That argument is that American merchandise is not being car ried across the oceans in American ships, and that the building up of the merchant marine is discouraged because of coming into com petition with the ships of other nations which are subsidized. If other nations are subsidising their steamship lines, is it the •part of wisdom for the government to build ships for private cor porations or to continue to reap the benefits of a subsidised foreign Beet of carriers? So long as shipping facilities are ample to carry on commerce what difference does it make if American goods are carried in for eign bottoms? If more boats are needed and the other nations refuse to sub sidise further in our interests, THE GOVERNMENT COULD THEN BUILD MORE BOATS, but not for private individuals— IT SHOULD BUILD THEM AND RUN THEM FOR ITSELF. 111 The appeal for ship subsidy can be properly characterized by olloo Scandal Examination In Part, with Warnlnga and Pen alty for Perjury—People’* Wltneeeee Take Notice. r b««t we can do la to report the atory of the prlnolpal witness aa It oomaa from her mouth.

"If you can. said Diana, und she rose to her feet. "1 will," said Strong. He saw that she was growing un easy at the length of their conversa tion, aud. as was his habit, he dis armed attack by preventing it. "Now. little girls," he said, "you must go back. Go back to your father and all those detestable people who are waiting to scrape and to bow whenever you choose to appear. •So go back, aud I will wait here for a little, und then I shall come in search of ms majesty, your father." Diana caught at his sleeve. "Prom ise me." she said, "whatever you do. that you won’t go into the lift." Strong laughed. "Well, we'll see," he said. "But I know all about the Sutherland.

"But promise me,” she urged, "for my sake, that you won’t run that risk." "There Isn't any risk, my dear," Strong said, "becuuau the whole thing ha* been arranged. He laughed again "Do you think that u mau who can steal the earth should be afraid of a lift’" He took Dlaua'a hands In his and kissed them again and agaiu. Then, as though he would put her from him, he led her out Into the open space In the center of, the winter garden and made her a little bow Diana walked away, but by the portiere ohe turned and looked back at him, smiling, but a littie anxious And so Strong watched her go. He allowed some 10 minutes to elapse before he himself strolled after her. On the landing he came face to face with the king and Ludwig. Ludwig was a tall, stoutly built young man, with a pallid face and shifting, llshy eyes. His bristly, up turned mustache was the ouly touch of animation that his dull, heavy face possessed. As Strong came walking toward him and the king he grinned at the yellow mustache on Strongs detested face. "I thought I recognized you," Lud wig said iu a cold, dull voice, "In spite of your bit of play-acting." Strong smiled back on him. and stroked the false appendage on his upper Up. "Yes,” he said, cheerily. "What do you think of it?" Ludwig shrugged his shdulders. Here the king turned his steely eyes on Strong ‘There's another aspect of.the matter, he said, "which more particularly appeals to me. I should like to Inform you, Mr Strong, that I greatly resent this impertlueuee.” "I Imagined you would," said Strong. Beccberini. James Stapleton.

"I presume," continued hi* majesty, ignoring the Interruption, "that you have had the further Insolence to trouble my daughter, the princess. This is an outrage which I cannot allow you to continue. And, seeing that you are here, I may as well take the opportunity of implanting a few home truths in what seems to be your most ill-bred and ill-conditioned mind.” Strong made a slight inclination of the head. "It was." he said, partly with the idea of having a little heart to-heart talk with my future father-in law that prompted me to call tonight. I can perfectly understand that my lpresence Is unwelcome; but then, you must remember that 1 came on busi ness rather than .on pleasure." The crowd In the succession of sa lons was now diminishing. Strong watched the stream descending the staircase. The king followed his gaze, and shook his head. No, Mr. Strong* j though your inclination may lead you .to leave, I fear that you will not be able to follow them Just yet; though l when I have said what I have to say. I the sooner you leave my house the bet ter I shall be pleased. In the mean time, will you do me the honor of coming to my room? I think that there w*e may be able to come to a bettor understanding." He motioned to Strong to follow him. and Strong, walking after the king, found hiiuself In a little alcove lnt& which was built a gilt-edged elec tric lift. "My room." said his majesty, "la on the top story, and this will save us the trouble of walking." Strong, mindful of Diana’s warning, had half a mind to turn back. But glancing over his shoulder he saw the way was now barred by three men in evening dress. Their clothes w r ere good, but it was perfectly obvious that they wore by no means gentlemen. The last of the three nieu had drawn a slldlng-door across the corridor.
