BosToN, March, I.
A hearing took place before Judge Devens
OF the Supreme Court today, on bill in
equity brought by the Globe National bank,

insolvency of Shaw Bros. The purpose of
the proceedings was to bring about some
plan by which Wyman can begin to pay a
dividend to the creditors, he having about

Legal difficulties relating to the case were
discussed and the Judge made no formal or

that a special master shall be appointed who
is to determine the percentage of the dividend
to be paid to each creditor and notice is to
be served upon all creditors that they must

EXAMINATION
Of the General Manager OF the AssO.
ciaied Press Before the Senate
Committee on Post Offices.

VIM Henry Smith .igeneral manager of the
associated Press, was examined by sub
committee of the Senate committee on post
Offices TODAY. He made a formal statement
of the principals upon which and the pur-
poses for which the associated press was or
ganiZed. He traveresed many of the state
ments of former " illnesses in regard 10 the
management of the associated press and its
alleged relations with the telegraph compan-
les.
Senator Jackson asked the witness the fol-
towing questions in regard to the competition
in the news service:
From your own consideration of the sub
ject, what, in brief, is the remedy you would
suggest:
think the telegraph companies should
give rate similar TO the rate given by the
British government. That the rate should
be so much. and that rate should be high
enough to pay them for doing the work.
Suppose there should be a regulation by
act of Congress to the effect that all news
transmitted for any association by telegraph
companies should be furnished at the same
rates to all papers at the different points
reached,
What effect, IN your judgment, would that
have on your case of complaint:
thing il would give everybody a chance
10 live and do business.
What would be your judgment concerning
a measure of that kind?
| think the effect would be good.
The associated press, Smith said, exercises
the right enjoyed by every other private bus
mess in the land and of choosing its own
partners. Ii does not interfere with the
formation of other associations or with indi-
vidual enterprises.
Mr.. Smith was questioned at length in re-
gard to the power of the associated press to
influence public opinion BY the manipulation
of news, which he held 10 be imdossibe.

gan a hearing on the order relative to com
pensaiing Roger Amero for unjust imprison-
ment in connection with the Carlton murder
A. Savary. of Wareham, a relative of Judge
Savary of Digby, advocated the order and
submitted letters and papers to show the
feeling in the case. Representative Coffev
Of Boston. said the parties posecuting this
case were criminslly culpable in their con-
duct of it from the first. They began the
prosecution solely for blood money and that
their grip upon Amero was not released till
the money was in their possession.
Attorney General Sherman hoped the full
lest investi cation would be made. He be-
lieved that the witnesses and detectives were
honest in what they did. The cause of the
arrest was Ameros own statement, growing
out of his own misfortune and it Is a question
if the State should pay damages, therefore.
