COMPETITOR PRISONERS ON TRIAL.
In Spite of Consul Lees Protest They Were
Tried In, S1,axisla I,ris

In Spite of Consul Lees Protest They Were
Tried In a Spanish Prison.
New YORK, Nov. PA dispatch to
the World from Havana under date of
Nov. 20 says: The Competitor prisoners
have been tried by court martial in the
fortress La Cabana, in spite of Consul
General Lee S official protest, filed just
before he left Havana. The exceptions
taken by the prisoners were over1u]ed
by the naval courts. General Lees
note was pigeonholed and in defiance of
Secretary Olney's intimation of disap-
proval, the Competitors crew and Mr..
Melton, the American newspaper CORE
spondent, have again aeen tried by a
drumhead court sitting within the walls
of Spanish fortress, where, according
to Captain General Wcyler's orders, the
representative Of the United States con-
sulate may not enter. The prisoners
were allowed neither interpreter nor
counsel. Those partially acquainted
with Spanish We're compelled to inter
pref for the others.
So quietly was the affair conducted
that Acting Consul General Springer
does not know, it is said, that the case
was virtually closed Nov. IA, on which
day Melton, Maza, DR.. Vedia and the
witness, George Ferren, We're forced by
Naval Judge Fernandez, to sign state
ments admitting their completely in the
fiibustering expedition which the Com
petitor is alleged to have brought under
Monson and Laborde to the Pinar del
Rio coast. This written evidence is now
under consideration by the court. Judge
Saul said that decision may be rem
dered at any moment. 1t is expected
that all the members of the party whose
American citizenship has not been
clearly shown will be shot. The bona
fide American probably will be sen
fenced to from three to 10 years i'm
prisonment in some Spanish penal sta
ton Or the coast OF Africa.

HEARING SANTA FE CASE.
Testimony That Receiver Was
Appointed to Bear Stocks.
JOBBERS POSTED IN ADVANCE.

Judge Foster Listens to Arguments on the
Motion to Remand the Case to the Dis
trict Court of jefferson County--NIain-
tanned by Santa Fe Attorneys That Alien
Land Law Does Not Apply to Railroads.
KANSAS City. Nov. 24.-The Star
prints the following under Topeka date:
The Atchison, Topeka aud Santa Fe
railroad company has filed in the United
States circuit court dispositions Of st.
Louis stock brokers and others to sub
stantiate its charges of conspiracy to
bear the stock of that road and Judge
B. B. Johnson of Topeka, formerly law
partner of Henry Keeler, made affidavit
TO an interview in which Keeler out
lined the proposed plan of action against
the Santa Fe. On the morning of the
election he declared Keeler visited him
and made the revelation after swearing
him to secrecy. He stated that suit
would be instituted against the Santa
Fe on the petition of the county attor
ney Of Jefferson county and the arrange
ments had been made some weeks be-
fore with Mr.. Phinney and Judge Louis
A. Myers for the court to meet in Oska-
loosa, the day after election to receive
the petition. Keeler had also declared
that Charles johnson would be APP
pointed receiver. This would be done.
the attorney declared, for the purpose Of
creating a f1uctuation in stocks. A visit
to New York was outlined for Keeler
and the trip was made. One of the
effects of the New York expedition
had been the determination of Henry
Wollman of Kansas City to intervene
as a bondholder for the alleged purpose
of assisting the general demoralization
of the road. Similar affidavits We're
presented containing testimony of G. D.
French and j. X. Davidson, Kansas
advance notice of the probable fall in
Santa Fe stocks
When the land rcceivership was
closed in the United States circuit court
at o'clock yesterday Judge Foster de-
cided to hear first the motion to remand
the case to the state district court. Pres
ident Ripley, General Solicitor Kenna,
Solicitor Robert Dunlap and General
Solicitor Sterry of the Southern Califor-
MIA road represented the Santa Fe.
Henry kee}er opened with q statement
of the points involved. The noDfederal
character of the suit was presented as an
argument for it's being remnnded to
the district court, Keeler sup
porting his case with rather exhaus
tive arguments. Civil cases alone, D
maintained, could be removed and this
case was of criminal character. The
suit was brought, he asserted, by author
ity of the state and under a statute
which imposed a penalty i'll the name of
the state.
The arguments on behalf of the rail
road company consumed only a about
half an hour and We're devoted largely
to a review of the depositions previously
filed. 1t being maintained that the
suit brought in the federal court was
clearly a stock jobbing scheme. 1t was
argued further that the alien land law
did not apply TO railroads and further
that it had not been legally enacted
Upon the conclusion Of the arguments
Judge Foster announced that he would
take the case under advisemcut.

DAIRY NOTES

Almost any trait can be bred in or out
of cattle. One of the valuable charac-
teristics in cows is that their milk yields
butter quickly and easily; any herd can
be built up with this characteristic in
view. Some cows show a lamentable
tendency the other way.
The farmer wants as few cows to care
for as possible, and these should be
mitch cows, every one of them. 1t does
not pay to mix things. These must be
fed as mich cows, not as beef cattle.
If farmers would always discriminate as
closely in these matters as they should,
it would be far better for them in the
end.
Nothing freshens up the cows in tn
spring like taste of something green,
and hardly anything is so good for this
purpose as few acres of fall sown rye,
If 1t is warm enough let the cows out
early to pasture upon the green shoots;
If stabbed, the tender. rye can be cut and
carried to their stalls. Give it a trial.
The cows will thank you for it in an
increased flow of milk. "
The amount of butter per COW for the
year is said. to be greatest for the COW
which calves in September or October.
and she brings the added advantage Of
producing the greatest milk flow, at a
time of the year when it Is worth the
most money. AS rule the farmer then
has more time to give to the details of
butter making and properly stored food
Is just as cheap as summer provender.
