Ui-pil.
Wlillc the motlvo Ib still lacking , late
developments tend to show that Charle
B. JoncH , the colored Janitor at the fedeia
building , committed suicide and the core
nor'F Jury brought In a verdict to that effcc
yesterday afternoon The finding of th
Jury exonerated tljo negrcss , Bertha Alex
nncier , and ot the .termination ot the In
( juest she was given her freedom
The evidence leading to the finding tin
Jones took his own life was turnlBheel h ;
Postmaster I M Treynor , who'lenincd fo
the first tlmo veetcrday afternoon that th
revolver which had produced the woiliu
that ended so tragically Jones' earthly ca
rcer was his property and had been takci
from his desk at the postofilcc some tlm
during Monday morning AK Jones , In hi
capacity as Janitor , had access to Mr Tre >
nor's private ofilce , the presumption is tha
ho took the revolver with the direct In
tentlou of using It as a means of terminal
ing his existence What the motive vva
that led him to commit the rash act wll
piobably forever remain a mystery. Thi
the' revolver which was found on Jonce
bed was his property was not made knovvi
to Postmaster Treynor until yesterday after
noon Just before the Inquest , when he wa.
shown the weapon by Coroner Trey not
He at once recognlrcd It , but to make sur
went to his office In the federal building
where ho discovered that his revolver vva
missing from the drawer in his desk.
The Inquest attracted a large gatherlni
ot colored people and others. The Jur ;
comprised P. J Clattorbuck , George Bake
and D. A. Helslcr ,
Count v IMijulclnn'n Tcntlmoiiy.
The first witness placed on the stani
wan Dr. A. V. Stevenson , the county phy
slclan , who was summoned a few minute
attei the tragedy had taken place. He tcs
tified as to finding the body , the location c
tile revolver on the bed and the statomen
made at the tlmo by the woman. Berth
Alexander. Ho also testified as to the hold
Ing of the autopsy and described the nature
tureof the wound in the head.
Officer Callaghan , who was on the Broad
way beat , testified to seeing the Alexande
woman rush out of the building and o
learning from her that Jones had shot him
self ho had hastened to the apartments
Nellie Wheeler , a colored woman , gave evl
deuce to the effect that Bertha Alexande
was visiting at her house Monday after
noon from about 2:30 o'clock until 5 o'clocl
when she returned to her own home. II
Walton , who was standing acrosb the stree
at the time of the tragedy , gave som
evidence that was immaterial and J. M
Cohbcll , -negro waiter who occupied
room at the rear of the apartments i
which Jones lived , testified that he an
Jones were conversing through the parti
tton about 5 o'clock when he heard som
one enter Jones' apartments , but did nc
hear any words pass. He did not lion
Jones and the Alexander woman quarrel.
Ilertlin Alexmulcr'N Mory.
Then Bertha Alexander was placed on th
stand and she repeated practically the sain
etory as she told Monday evening. She eil
that about 4'30 o'clock Jones came to th
Wheeler home and got from her the key t
heir roomn. When she returned home abou
o'clock Jones was sitting in the bac
room. She did not speak to him and h
went into the front room and , partly un
Iresslng himself , lay down In the bed. H
called to her nnd she asked him what h
v anted. He said he wanted her to do som
vrltlng for him and she asked htm why h
ould not do his own writing , as ho alway
lid. At his request ahe wrote the note t
'hil Betz , the head Janitor at the fed r :
building , and then ho told her to address a
envelope to hla brother , Dennis A. Jonei
it Leavenworth , Kan. She had written tli
name on the envelope when she heard th
hot. She Jumped off the bed and wlthoi
waiting lo see lf Jones was wounded rushe
down the stairway Into the street She wet
o n saloon opposite and nskcel for a police
man , saying Jones had shot himself. Sh
YOB told there was no policeman there nn
rom there she went to the Eagle laundr ;
vhera the clerk telephoned to the pollc
tation , She denied that there had been an
quarrel between Jones nnd hcreelf and thf
since her return from Sioux City , three c
'our ' months ago , they had lived peaceabl
ogether She admitted that before si ;
went to Sioux City tbero had been troubl
jctween them. Her story was told In
straightforward manner and on cross-exnir
nation she adhered to her original state
inents.

Postmaster Treynor testified that Jone
was employed as assistant Janitor at tl :
postofilce nnd as tuch had access to all par
of the building at all times. He eald the re
olver was lil and that ho kept It In the tc
Irnwer on the rlglit-hand side of his des

Monday morning some time after 10 o'clocl
[ lo eald he never knew Jones to I
ieapoudcnt , as ho was always of a hapj :
disposition whether ho had u dollar 01 not I
ilu pockets Jones had appeared to bo woi
rlcd about a year ago over his trouble wit
the Alexander woman , but that , he though
mil all pafticd off While Jones , as far as 1
know , was not a bteady heavy drinker , 1
liad eeen him on two occasions much 11
worsei for drink Mr Trevnor said Jone
received his pay check Monday moriiln
amounting to $16 and a few cents Inquli
allowed that he had paid out of this su
about $2C which ho had borrow eel In tlm o
lice He had also paid n saloon bill ai
some other few accounts , so that when Jon
went to Omaha Monday he could not Imi

DES MOINUS. I'cb 13 { Special Tele
gram ) Delegates of district thirteen of tin
United Mine Workers of America met In so3
slon In this cltv this morning. The dls.
trlcl comprises nil of Iowa nnd n per
lion of Missouri. There nro 200 delegate'
present , representing neatly every mlno It
the district The sc'sioim nro being hole
behind closed doors
There Is one question which will como 111
heforo the union which means , n great dea
to the operators of thp state nnd district
The miners demand an Increase and arc un
willing to be paid on a screen run' stale , o
the proposed scale. At the last meeting o
the union at Osknloosa It was decided tha
all payments must be made by mlno run , o :
nn equivalent on a screen tun , so the de
mands of the operators to date 1me beet
defied
The operators have asked for a ( .onfcrenci
with thp miners ot the district It was n
first thought that such n contort-in p couli
be held Immediately following the bosblc.ni
of the miners , but it has about been de
cidcd that no conference is desired by tin
miners until after the meeting ot tin
miners of Illinois. It Is thought that thel :
brother miners nrc going to ask an ad
vnncc , nnd if they do thcro Is evoiy thinci
that district Alrteen will follow suit
H Is stilted on good authority that tin
Illinois miners "will demand an IncrciHo o
some 20 per cent , but It Is thought tin
the Iowa and .Missouri mlncis will not asl
over .1,10 per cent advance. This question
with that ot the mlno or screen run problem
will como up tor settlement , and the ientl
mcnt seems to bo In favor of demanding ai
increase and a more Just proposition fron
the operators
The session of the union will probibly con
tinuo two or three < ln > s
Tomorrow the Iowa Hardware Dealers' ab
soclatlon will open their stale convention
which will last three davs and will be at
tended by 200. The questions of frclgh
tariffs is ono of the leading points foi dlb
cusslon and it Is said the legislative com
mlttco named last year will have f-onn
startling facts regarding long and shor
hauls to make at this time
A special from Washington says Wlthl !
a few daj'b the Navy department will shl
to DCS Molnes ono ot the guns of the Spin
Ish war ship Infanta Maria Teresa , whlc !
wan sunk as a result of the fire from th
batteries of the battleship Iowa in Julv , IS S
The gun Is of the long five-Inch Spanlsl
make It will be the first one bent to ,
western town and will bo followed by other
which hiivo been awarded to cities of th
middle west. It was secured for DCS Molne
through the efforts of Congressman Hull.
The saloon tnen won their round toda ;
with the anti-saloon leaders before th
Board of Supervisors nnd as a result th
consideration ot the general consent pc-tltlo
has been postponed for thirty days. Th
Anti-Saloon league wanted the matter take :
up at once , but by n vote of } to I the boar
deferred action for a month. Back of thi
postponement of the fight It is stated tha
the board wishes to defer action until th
fate of the bill introduced into the legisla
lure by Representative Boyfcon of Audubo
county , providing for the consent to sel
liquor being based on election returns rathe
than petition , is delei mined This bill cam
up for consideration in committee room thi
afternoon and both sides were rcpresente
at the hearing. If the bill Is passed it wil
regulate the sale of liquors , changing th
pre&ont system , so that Instead of the sal
depending upon the signatures to a petitio
of more than half the voters at the last elec
lion , the matter of consent must be vote
upon directly at the polls and more tha
half the voters declare , with their ballots
In favor of liquor sale in the city an
county.
The legal controversy Is yet unsettlet
Whether the board Is simply a canvassn
body or a Judicial body is yet unsettlei
That has been postponed for thirty dajs an
on March 14 the whole matter will have * t
be gone orer again.
