CHICAGO , Oct. 4. The seventh week of
llio trial of Luctgcrt. trie allcgc'l wife mur
derer , opened today with n undlrnlnlshcd
criiah of people at the criminal court build
ing. All kinds of schemes were rivsorted to
by the throng In Its efforts to reach the
second floor of the criminal court building
upon which Juilgo Tuthlll's court room Is
located. The police and deputy sheriffs
experienced great difficulty In handling the
crowd. Only these who possessed tickets
were admitted. Lww fortunate people IrlcJ
to squeeze their way In with the lucky
tlckct-holdera. This plan brought several
prominent citizens Into violent collision
with thu olllcurs and hot arguments ensued
in which the right of the sheriff to exclude
any ono from a public court ' oem was ex
citedly disputed , Hut the ofllccrs In chaigo
of the entrances wore Inexorable and hun
dreds of mm and women slowly filed out
of the court house when the court room had
been IlllertVlo Us utmost capacity.
Luelgcrt and his Inseparable cigar
reached the court room half an hour before
the opening hour. The. big sausagcmakcr
was clean shaved , neatly attired and ap
parently In the boat of spirits. Ho greeted
his attorneys and friends pleasantly and
grinned at 1'ollco Inspector Schaack , who
regarded him coolly.
"I cnn stand this sort of thing a. llfo-
tlmn so far as the physical endurance Is
concerned , " said Luetgcrt , when compli
mented by Attorney I'hnlcn upon hla per
sonal appearance. "Dut I wish It was over
with. " continued Luetgert , tis ho sent a
cloud of tobacco smoke In the air. "It
wears on a man's nervous system , especially
If the weather" Is warm as It has been
moat of the time during my trial. I feel
much better since I recovered sufficiently
from the Injury to my leg to abandon that
crutch , A crutch Is an Insufferable
nuisance to a person who Is not used to It. "

"The trial will last nt least Unco weeks
longer " , " said Status Attorney Dcncen today.
"When the defense closes wo shall have
nt least a week oC rebuttal evidence. Then
the defense will como along with another
week of the same kind of evidence. If wo
get through with the speeches In a week's
time we shall be doing well "
1'rnf. Kchley of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Chicago was iccalled today
for cross-examination upon several matters
in connection with his Identification of bones.
JIIs testimony was simply o repetition of
that of other witnesses along the same line
and ho was not kept upon the atand long.
Prof. I'lummer of tbo Northwestern Medical
college , thu second witness of the day , gave
evidence much to the liking of the defense.
After a brief examination the temporal bone
Introduced by the state and positively Iden
tified by Prof. Dorsoy of the Field Colum
bian museum as the right temporal bono of
a woman , Dr. I'lummer , with emphasis , de
clared the bono was not the temporal of a
human being.
NOT IJON125 OF HUMAN BEINGS.
"It bears but .
.1 very superficial resem-
ulanco to the human temporal , " said the wit
ness. "The- line lioro. which has been 'iden '
tified as a facial nerve. Is simply a trace
which Indicates that two bones have been
Joined or glued together. I notice what ap
pears to mo to bu vegetable matter. It Is
of a somewhat grccnlbh tint peculiar to

MI experts of the prosecution aa a. human femur
'v < was handed to Dr. I'lummcr. an * without
hesitation he denied that It was a femur of
the human race. "It resembles In a slight
degree a human femur , " sold the witness ,
"but the bone Is much smaller than the average -
ago femur of a human. There are other
distinct characteristics of the human femur
missing. "
The battle of the bones waged all day.
ono not of exports disputing the Identlflca-
'tlons and theories of another. Lctitgert Is
not likely to go on the witness eland until
next week. The big prisoner Is still Im
patient to tel ! his story. On this point his
enthusiasm never cools.
"In three hours' tlmo I could convince that
Jury of my Innocence , " said Luotgert today ,
"I will give It to them straight and make
liars ot many people when I get on the
stand. They can't lie Luetgcrt to the gal
lows. My story will make everything
plain. "
Ono of the Incidents of thu clay was the
sawing of a temporal bone by Ur. I'lcrce
nnd Dr. Hlese. The operation was watched
by Assistant State's Attorney McRwan for
the. prosecution and ex-Judge Vincent for the
defense. The sawing was done In u waiting
room near the court room. The surgeons
were slow and the Judge , growing Impatient ,
sent a ballllT after them , remarking : "Thoso
follona have been out there long enough to
saw a cord of wood. "
COMPLIMENT FOR DOHSKY.
During the afternoon btsslon Prof. Eckley
was recalled a second tlmo and admitted that
upon ono occasion ho did say that Prof.
Dorsoy , whose evidence ho testified against ,
was ono of the best men the state could
have procured as an expert.
Prof. William Hall of the Northwestern
Dental college nnd expert In chemistry gave
scientific testimony with reference to the
, action of potash upon ifalse tooth and the
plates to which they are attached. It was
Ills opinion that the potash solution in the
vat In which Mrs. LiiPteert's body Is said to
have been disintegrated wa& not of sulllclcnt
destructive power to seriously 'alToct the
teeth , but It would undoubtedly either de
stroy or greatly damngo mouth plates.
David Victor , a carpenter , who lives In the
vicinity of thu Luetgert sausage factory , was
called upon to toll whether ho had over ob
served Mrs. Luetgert In a sad or morose con
dition of mind. He said ho had not. She
was alw/'i's / cheerful and happy when he saw
her.
, How many times have you soon her cheer
ful and happy ? " asked State's Attorney
Coneen.
"Oh , I don't know , " answered the wit-
nets.
"Well , about 27G times ? " urged the ques
tioner.
"Not BO many , "
"Well , 274 times , then ? "
Yes ; that's about right. "
"So are you ; you may go , " said the
state's attorney , and the cheerful witness

When the Woman' * club found Itself com
fortably seated In tbo commodious Audito
rium of the First Congregational church yes-
tertlay afternoon , Its first senwitlon was one
of rollcf that the straightened circumstances
of the past were over , and that It wn no
longer necessary for two bodies to occupy the
same space at the same time. The fine ven
tilation was also a matter for congratulation ,
and It was remarked that the arrangement of
the room , which makes It possible for A
speaker In any part of It , to be seen and
heard , would be of great advantage In these
discussions from the floor , which are so
common to the club.
After the usual preliminaries , the president ,
Mrs. W. P. Harford , welcomed the club to Its
new home , dwelling upon the possibility of
expansion In It to the number of 800 or 1,000.
She also fipoko a few graceful wonts of thanks
to the club for Its confidence In her as ex
pressed In her re-election to the executive
office , and pledged to It her best service and
her best efforts. Then she made a strong
presentation of the "Important business of
living , " which she said Is the only universal
business , and , therefore , a business to which
no ono can afford to be Indifferent. Success
therein depends upon the ability to t.iko what
ever Is at hand and imikc the best possible
use of It.
She contrasted the , material and spiritual
sides of llfo and showed how they were
mutually dependent , and how each reflected
and expressed the other , and she laid over
against the Ideal of llfo which would make
It a career th t Ideal which would make It
a mission , The club , she said , ought to
stand for the best material things of the
community as well as for Its 'Intellectual
advancement. She spoke forcibly of the op
portunities which would bo open to the club
through this year of the exposition , "when
wo may como In touch with the best In ull
departments of life , " and she advised that
It make sure of these opportunities , oven If
It relinquish some of 'the work it has been
doing or may do In the future.
Mrs. Harford finished her most excellent
address with a plea for abundant hospitality
during the year to como and urged that
wbllo the club has company , It might bo
well to relegate to the background the
friendly criticism which Is so unnecessary
In ordinary times to bring to perfection.
The other address of the afternoon was
given by Irs. Kmma Van Vcchtcn of Cedar
Rapids , the president of the Iowa Federation
of Woman's Clubs. It wds a plea for an
unselfish culture , emphasizing the maxim
that as wo glvo out so wo receive. The
speaker declared the old belief that women
cannot work together to be fallacious. She
believes them to have an almost Infinite ca
pacity for systematic co-operatlvo work. They
do not organize clubs because they have
nothing elho to do nor because they wish
to follow a fad , nor because they crave no
toriety. They believe that It Is good for
ono woman to keep up her Intellectual In
terests , a thing which must usually bo done
outsldo the realm of cvcry-day duties. If
that be good for one woman it is good for
two , and it Is good for a hundred. Hence
the Woman's club.
The program was embellished by some
very attractive musical numbers a ballad
by Relnecke played by Miss Clara Hawley ,
and a vocal solo , "Once , " sung by Mrs. O. W.
Johnston. The now piano , beautiful In the
old , room. Is doubly so In the new , and thu
difference In Its tone quality as It has come
Into more favorable acoustic conditions , was
a matter of much comment.
Miss Howell of the Emerson school of
onjtory , lioston , gave an entertaining recita
tion portraying an Incident In penitentiary
llfo , and responded to her encore with James
Whltcomb Rlley's "That Old Sweetheart of
Minn "
[ The chairman 6f the membership commit
tee , Mrs. F. D. Cole , read the names of
thirty-two women proposed for admission to
the club , and the treasurer , Mrs. C. S. Rosewater -
water , reported nine who have qualified since
the last meeting. She also stated that the
membership roll contains 500 names , the
largest number ever registered at the begin
ning of any year.
The Ennouncements are as follows : The
department of oratory1 will glvo a public re
cital today , when Miss Howell will recite
and Miss Getty will sing. The musical de
partment will organize Its woman's chorus
and Itu history class on Wednesday , October

The manuals for the year were distributed
during the meeting and were highly praised.
They are more artistic thro they have ever
been , before , and inoro accurate In detail
and the manual commltee. Mrs. Draper
Smith , Mrs. Hoobler , Mrs. Henry and Mrs.

After the program the house and home

The close bond which existed In recent po

eS-ActIng Chief of Police and now Special
Officer A. T. Slgwart , loomed up In refreshing
prominence at lost night's meeting of the
Hoard of Fire and Police commissioners.
The appreciation felt by Fanning for the
services rendered himself and the rest of
the gang by Slgwart In loaning them the
assistance of city detectives and police ofll

head of the police department was expressed
In black and whlto , The reward came In the
shape of n signature as surety on Slgwart's
bond as special officer. This was secured by
Oharles > E. Fanning and A. P. Tuke > v and
was In the sum of $1,000. This bond won
considered la executive session and was
there received , approved nnd accepted ,
The entire board was present except Herd-
man , who has left the city. It Is under
stood that ho cannot return In time to ap
pear before Judge Scott this morning , where
ho Is cited to show cnuso why he should not

negative vote on the matter of reinstating
Cox as chief of detectives In the face of
Judge Scott's peremptory order served ou the
board to put Cox back on the payroll.
REDUCE THEIR STIPEND.
The pay of the three captains on the force ,
Slgwart , Haze and Mostyn , was reduced
from $100 to $90 a month. The action was
taken as n result of a communication from
Mayor Moores , In which ho stated that ho
had vetoed Slgwart's salary of $100 for Sep
tember In the appropriation sheet because
the charter provided that no officer on the
department beneath the rank of chief or as
sistant chief should receive more than $90.
The veto was supported by an opinion from
City Attorney Council , who stated th.it , ac
cording to the charter , there could bo but
ono assistant chief and none below that rank
could receive more than $90 a month. In
the face of the opinion the- board could not
make all the Captains assistant chiefs and
therefore reduced the pay of all $10 a month.
The board raid no attention to the pro
tests of eleven out of the sixteen police
men dropped at the last meeting and simply
placed them on fllo. The protests were In
the form of notifications tint the resolution
purporting to drop the officers without a
hearing was void ; that , therefore , the po-
ilcemen had the right to bold their jobs and
ruclvo the emoluments thereof , and that they
were consequently holding themselves In
readiness all the tlmo to irecelvo orders.
The officers filing the protests were Lewis ,

Holmes , a local attorney , secured an order
from the supreme court , Instructing the re
ceiver , John H. F. Lehmann , to pay over to
ono of the litigants , the Dlcklneon Paper
company , the amount of Its claim. The
sum allowed was something over $2,800.
When Lehmann was settling up the affairs
of the company he paid over to the Dickin
son Paper company $800 nnd refused to pay
more on the grounds that this was Its pro
rata share. Then ho applied to the district
court for an order discharging him from the
receivership. AH soon as Attorney Holmes
heard of this he threatened to clto Lehmann

The regular meeting of the Hoard of Kdu-
cntlon was chiefly remarkable for a iirofuslon
of oratory that w.is aimed at nothing tn
particular and hit the mark In most rates.
The nubjccts of debate were mainly frivolous
but the members \\ero apparently training
for the pending political campaign and the
session was suggostlve of the debating BO-
clety of a country school. One action of
some Importance was taken In Instructing
the committees on boundaries and teachers
and examinations and the superintendent to
take up the question of rearranging the boun.
darles of the various districts.
The report of Superintendent IVarac showed
that the total membership ot the neliools
at thu end ot the first school month was
15OIL' , an Increase of 1,070 as compared with
that ot a year ago , The enrollment In tbo
high school was i.LMrt , an Increase of 1C5 ,
At the suggestion of Superintendent 1'carso
the High school committee was authorized
to assign a Latin teacher to the High school
on account ot the ataenca of two tenclicra
who had previously attended to thrse classes.
The annual report of ex-I'rcsldi-iit Udwards
was read and placed on Illc. Its principal
feature was an emphatic recommendation of
the Ido.i of building a now high school.
Applications for losltlons In the High
school were received from ICthel Uvans ,

Crnmlall , Omaha , and Susan M. 1'ortcr , Mad
ison , Wls ,
Mrs. Thomas L. Klmball and Mrs. Frances
M. Ford appeared bcforo the board to ask
that the usual rule bo susprnidcd In order to
allow subscriptions to be solicited In the
schools toward thu fund far the boys and
girls' building at the exposition. The details
of the plan were presented and the Import
ance of Immediate action emphasized. The
request was unanimously gr.intod.
Ella Meredith Smith was granted a four
months' le.ive ot absence to attend tbo Chicago
cage Kindergarten college.
The reslpnaSon of Helen Lloyd as a
teacher was accepted.
A petition from parents for a kindergarten
at tbo Vlnton school was reforrcd to the
committee on boundaries.
ANNKX TOV1JST SIDK.
There was a long debate on tbo recom
mendation of the committee on boundaries
that an additional room bo opened at the
West Sldo school. The report was finally
adopted and the annex at the Columbia ,
school will be moved to West Side. An ad
ditional room was also provided for at
Vlnton.
The committee on public property and
buildings took another plunge In the real
estate business and recommended the purchase -
chase of A lot adjoining thu Dupont school
for $700. The report was adopted against
the protest of the minority. The lot In ques
tion Is sixteen feet above grade.
A report from the same commltteo recom-
mending the dismissal of the force employed
by the superintendent of buildings with the
exception of twenty-flvo men , who were spec
ified , was the subject of another wordy con
troversy. Johnson dcclnrcd that this was
a caucus scheme In which politics was the
only consideration. Anderson Insisted that
tbo rommlttpo was assuming n power that
belonged exclusively to the superintendent of
buildings , and Jordan called attention to the
fact that some nf the most competent men
in the employ of the board were being dis
charged In favor of political favorites. The
majority had the votes , however , and the
re-port i was adopted. Ayes Uandhaucr , Den

mltteo to act with the attorney In devising
