DOM PLEADS GUILTY.
Under the Lawyers Act He Won't
Go to Lansing.
GETS NINETY DAYS MORE IN JAIL

Aaa VIII Probably BE Disbarred-
McIntOsh Found Not GuItty-Other
Cases.
Lawyer ". E Dom surprised the
county attorney this morning by plead
ing guilty when his case was called for
trial in the district court He has been
in the county jail four months charged
with embezzlemenL
In making the plea Attorney Over
myer called the attention of Judge Hagen
to the law applying to embezzlement by
attorneys known as the attorneys act"
and pleaded guilty to the charge as COW
cred by that act.
Judge Hazen held that under the law
an attorney failing TO turn over money
collected by him is guilty only of a mis-
demeanor.
Other persons embezzling money are
guilty of a felony and liable to a peni-
Tertiary sentence. In addition, however,
the lawyer is liable 10 disbarment, and
Dom will undoubtedly receive this part
of the provision.
Judge HAGEN Immediately sentenced
the prisoner. He took in-o consideration
the four months that Dom has already
served and gave him but ninety DAYS
more in jail and fined him 500 aud
costs.
In speaking of the case David Over
myer said: "Why there is special pro-
vision for lawyers who are guilty of en-
/ bezzIement l do not know. Probably
bee use they are also disbarred and can
never practice again in their own or
any other state unless they reform and
are readmitted, which I have never
yet known to happen. 1t is worse to
iAGa a mama modification for life than tn
go to the penitentiary for short tern"
Dom's crime is the appropriating of
money collected for ]. II Cecil, an Oma
ha business man. The amount of oollec-
tions, exclusive of commissions. was
! about 500.

COSTA RIGA IS PROSPEROUS
Not Troubled at Present with Any Internal
Troubles,
NO INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS PENDING
story Conccrniug the Nuclo Annir
Pronounced II Fairy Tale by the
Washineton Repre-
sentative,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.--Senor Calvo, the
representative Of Costa Rca. has returned
from visit to his country, where he at.
tended the festivities of September To- tho
national holiday He says the feeling in
Costa Rica is favorable to a Central American
union and that such a union will be ultimately
formed. But at present the condition of the
country is so prosperous and its Institutions
in such satisfactory shape that the union is
not likely to he consummated at once.
Mr.. Calvos attention has been called to the
alleged claim of $4,000 made by Marclal
Nielo against Costa Rica. The claimant has
attributed to him fantastic story of i'll
treatment by the president of Costa Rica re-
sulting from the alleged fact that Neto and
the president were attentive to the same
lady. MIR. Calvo says the statements are
malicious and absurd and he regrets that the
press of this country should have spoken so
lightly of the president of republic which
has been on the most cordial terms with the
United States. lie adds: AS regards the
personality of Senor Don Rafael Iglesias. |
am pleased to state here that he is above any
impuation that may in the slightest degree
attack the uprightnesS of his private life.
To the honor of Costa Rica this fact has
been acknowledged even in the heat of de-
bate on political questions"
Fortunately | can say with pride that the
government of Costa Rica s not now and
has never given cause for International diff
culties growing out of claims founded upon
unjust acts Of the authorities of the country
against foreigners residing therein, and the
fact that the German, Italian, Spanish. North
American, English, French and other colonies
are very numerous and of long standing all
of which prosper and are satisfied with the
treatment they receive from the people ard
the government is a fitting reply to the
trumped up charge of Senor Neto."

senator Chandler Expresses His ODin-
ion of the Presidents Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Speakng of the
agreement signed in New York yesterday by
the officers of the joint traffic association
Senator Chandler today said: 81 have not
examined the contract in detail. Apparently
the railroad managers have been trying dur
ing the past six months to modify the
agreement so as to avoid appearing to violate
the law. Yet 1t now stands as trust
agreement in restraint of trade and COM
merce, the making of rates for every road
being committed to the board representing
all the roads, so that no road can lower any
of its rates to the public without violating
the agreement. The provision for fining each
road which may break the agreement and
using the fine for the benefit of the other
roads is an illegal division Of earnings. The
president, the attorney general and Chairman
Morrison can easily defeat the agreement
by procuring the Indictment of all the sign
ers under the antitrust and also the anti
pooling statutes.
The recital in the agreement that the
managers do not intend to violate the in.
terstate commerce law is the merest sub
terfugc ever attempted to be imposed upon
an intelligent community. The law now
explicitly forbds pooling agreements and
trusts like this The whole object of the
railroad presidents is to make a trust and
pooling agreement, and it is bare faced eff
frontery to insert this pretense of a desire
to observe the law. | cannot add anything
TO my emphatic utterances concerning this
crime TO what | have said in my letter to
the president and his suhOrdinates. If thi;
gigantic trust can deliberately and defantly
trImplo upon national law no trust can be

WASHINGTON Nov. 2O,-The United
States ship Minneapolis has been ordered to
join the European squadron Immediately,
doubtless on account of the Turkish situa-
ton. She is in American waters now, and
it will take several days to get her out.
The orders to Captain Wadleigh of the
Minneapolis are to report to Admiral Sell
fridge upon reaching Gibraltar. but unless
the admiral issues other orders by that time
the ship Will make Smyrna her destination.
This point is believed to be as near as
stations, believed by the missionary boards
in this country to be endangered by the
general uprising of the Mussulmans in Asia
Minor. While the State department author-
ties felt that due precautions had besn taken
in the ordering of two vessels, the San Fran
cisco and the Marblshead, to this coast.
still a point was yielded to make the safety
of the missionaries additionally secure. and
after advising with Minister Terrell. the
orders to the Minneapolis were forwarded.
1t is now at Norfolk in perfect condition.
but needs to take on additional stores and
coal 10 begin her voyage to Smyrna. She
will carry l,6OO tons, of which 500 will be
taken at Norfolk. The remainder will be
taken on at Hampton Roads. If all goes we'll
the ship will likely sail the 25th instant
AS it will not be driven to make record
run, but will proceed at her most economical
rate of speed, namely fifteen knots, it will
probably make the run of 5000 miles in
about two weeks. With this accession Ad-
miral Selfrdge will have fleet of three of
the best cruisers in the navy at his back
which. though small in comparison with the
formidable ornaments gathered in Salonica
bay by the great European powers will
suffice to meet his object, the protection of
the American citizens in Turkey.

WILLING TO TALK MATTERS OVER,
southern Pacific to Be Represented
mt the EmiGrnnt Rate Conference.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The Southern Pacific
has decided that it will take part in the con-
florence of the western roads relative to the
adjustment of the emigrant rates from New
York to the Pacific coast. The other lines
accuse the Southern Pacific of paying such
large commissions in the effect to draw the
business by way of New Orleans that 1t has
been demoralizing all the traffic of the other
roads. They made up their minds that they
would not stand that condition of affairs any
longer, and gave the Southern Pacific until
today to meet with them or they would
make such rates would keep large part of
the business in the north. The Southern Pa
ciic thought it better to at least meet with
the other roads, and General Passenger
Agent Goodman arrived in the city today
and will attend the meeting of the advisory
committee Of the Emigrant Clearing house
today.
The meeting of the Western Passenger
association today developed nothing. The
committee on local associations did not make
any report and routine business took UP the
entire time of the meeting
While no authoritative message has been
received. the employees of the Central Traffic
association in this city are looking for their
positions to fall from under them at almost

ton in manner superHuous One
Of the prime objects of the presidents
agreement Is economy, and as that
organization holds firmly in its hands

during the last fiscal year. in his annual re-
port says the instruction and efficiency of
the cavalry was excellent. The instructions
Of the artillery was embarrassed by want of
modern artillery and material, but in their
absence the officers have made creditable
efforts to keep abreast of the times. The
general recommends that the posts be sup
piled with "sub-calibres" for practice work
with heavy artillery, and the enlistment for
the long term of ten years of a special class
of non-commissoned officers to be trained
as experts in artillery fire. The efficiency of
the artillery was also excellent. All of the
infantry in the department and part of the
artillery had been armed with the new rifles
which had given satisfaction except in the
sighting and some minor defects. The dis
cpne was excellent, and the trials by court
martial show a considerable reduction, not
withstanding the increase in The strength of
the command. The consolidated post mess
was not entirely satisfactory, and the old
company mess is believed to BE- better.
General Miles mentions briefly the need
for garrisOns at the seaboard ports, which
subject lie has treated at greater length in
his report as major general commanding the

for new buildings and improvements at most

Culturists.
A member of the firm of Funch, Edge G.
Co. said yesterdayAhe had no knowledge of
what Mr.. Corbinsintends to do with the 700
Italians. He did not know whether any CON

WASHINGTON, Nov 2O.-It Is probable
that the government will not push libel pro
ceedngs al present. at least against tht
Laurada, recently seized at Charleston, S. c.
as a nllbuster. A telegram has been re-
ceyed at the Treasury department from the
collector Of customs at Charleston, stating
that libel proceedings had bzen begun against
the Laurada by the New York owners on tbs
ground that her charter had been forfeited
by her captain by unlawfuly engaging In
Riibustcring expeditions against Cuba There
are several counts in the complaint, which
seem to make a prima facie case against tn
officers Of the vessel, and under these cir
cumstances, it is likely that the government
will suspend further action until the pro-
ceedlngs instituted by the owners have been
decided.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O,-Although the
State department absolutely refuses to con-
firm or deny a report that the French gov
errment has refused to furnish it the record
in the Waller case. some difficulties, il is
known, have been encountered in procuring
this document. Just what the nature of
the trouble Is cannot be learned, but it is
understood, as stated in the Associated Press
dispatches yesterday, that the application for
the record Is not regarded by the French
government as matter of right in the
United States, and it is assumed that If our
application taksS more the shape of request
than a demand, the necessary documents
may be forthcoming, Meanwhile the Waller
case itself may be suddenly settled so far
as the liberty of Waller is concerned, by
the voluntary action Of the French govern
ment, as word has come here from official
circles to the effect that it Is contemplated to
proclaim amnesty for all political prisoners
taken in Madagascar, which would include
Waller, unless some spzclal notice be taken
