Brazil Holds Trinidad.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The Her
AIDS correspondent in Rio de jan
GIRO, Brazil, telegraphs that the
British minister has received dis
patch from England ordering him
to recognize the sovereignty OF
Brazil in tho island OF Trinidad. 1t
is now probable that Brazil will
permit Great Britain to establish a
big cosling station on the island
for her South American squadron
and that she will grant the right
to lay a cable on its shores.
The Herald's correspondent adds
that in diplomatic circles there is
great satisfaction expressed at the
amicable settlement OF the ques-
ton.
The Brazilans are excited over
the news from Para, received to-
day, to the effect that the French
gun hoart Bengali, patrolling the
waters in the disputed territory OF
Amaps, on the frontier OF French
Guiana, has seized cargo on
board a boat sailing under the pro-
lection Of the Brazilian flag.
The press of Amapa calls upon
the Brazilian government to make
q vigorous protest to France.

Remis on Street Ownership.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 6.-Prot.
w. F. Bemis, late Of Chicago Uni
versity, delivered a lecture last
night at Sinton Hall under the
auspices of the Trades and Labor
assembly. His topic was Munich
pal Monopolies and Peoples Rights
He said he had no intention to an
tagonize classes. The lethargy OF
the people led him to say that no
did not believe the mass Of the
people competent OF self govern
ment. In the conduct OF our streets
we should act like an individual.
The city should get the very best
use and returns out Of them for
the whole people. Franchises
should not be extended until Origi-
nal franchises have expired. He
said it is easier to reform evils
that may exist under public own
ership than under private owner

in Covington, were cited to appear

DIR. ELLIOTT ON ATHLETICS.
His Report Conservative and in Favor
Thereof.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. Co.
President Eliot's annual report to
the Harvard University, given out
last night, was devoid of the senti-
mental features in regard to ath-
letics, which have marked his re-
port for the past two years. Instead
of condemning the existing ath-
letic sports and Offering radical
suggestions for their reform. Presi-
dent Eliot's treatment of athletics
this year rather gives the impress
sion that the competitive sports as
they stand at Harvard today are
confined within healthy limits and
need no further legislation.
The president reviews the course
OF the university athletics since
1892 and sums up the situation as
follows: at will be observed that
the various rules adopted within
the last thirteen years have had
several different objects in view;
O to secure the physical safety OF
the players as far as possible; ~
to keep the players up to a mini
mum, at least for college work; (9
to reduce the number of contests,
and to prevent contests in Cam
bridge from interfering with the
work Of the college; az to preserve
the college character Of the contests
themselves and of the training
thereof; (5) to exclude all players
who are not genuine students and
amateurs; (6) to procure proper
use OF the money derived from the
sports,

their societies, clubs, churches,
secret, religious or commercial Or
CARNATIONS nearest in time to
Washington's birthday, shall en-
body their views, each assembly
in its own way, on the following
questions:
1-Do we wish the governments
of the United States and Great
Britain by formal treaty to estab-
lish arbitration as the method OF
concluding all difference which
may fail OF settlement by diplo-
macy between the two powers?
2.-What is your opinion OF war,
as a mode of deciding controvers-
les between the United States and
Great Britain?

One Boundary Question Settled.

NEW YORK, Feb. GA dispatch
to the Herald from Valparaiso,
Chile, says: There is a persistent
rumor here to the effect that pro-
tocol will be signed between Chile
and Argentina. Itiis reported that
the boundary commission has
come to an agreement by which all
points in the boundary dispute
likely to cause a serious rupture
between the countries will be
settled smicsbly at once.
The Patria says that it would be
much bett for the country were
there more warships and fewer
protocols, adding significantly that
the navy Of Argentina is much
larger than that which Chile pos
seSses.
A lieutenant colonel in the artil-
lery branch OF the military alli-
ance has been dismissed from the
army because he refused to permit
a German tactician to instruct his
command as directed by his sup
erior officer.
The conservative element stamps
as outrageous the advance views
on religious matters reported to be
held by Gen. Reyes, the candidate
for the presidency. In spite of the
settlement OF the nitrate question
the industry sat paralyzed and
many workmen are idle both here
and in Peru.

STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
Austin and Fort Worth Get the OOnven-
tons; San Antonio Not Mentioned.


AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 6.-[Special.I
The state executive committee
has done nothing this morning,
pending the deliberations of the
silver factions caucus, which has
been in session all morning, and
is still in session at one o'clock.
This caucus, has, it is given out,
agreed to two conventions, but
will adhere firmly to their original
proposition of only one primary,
and unless the single standard
men agree to this, there is very
liable to be considerable filibuster-
ing at this afternoons session.
In case this proposition of the
silver men is agreed to and two
conventions are ordered, every one
here is agreed that Austin will get
the national nominating conven-
ton and Fort Worth will get the
state nominating. The single
standard men are candid to ac-
knowledge that Dudley and the
death of three committeeman have
given the silverites control OF the
committee and democracy will
now have to look to the Lord for
their salvation.

THE HEADLESS WOMAN
WAS A FARMERS DAUGHTER
BOUND FOR A VISIT.
Her Murderer, One a Dental Student,
Have Been Arrested, and One Con-
fesses His Guilt.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 6.-La st
Saturday morning the headless
body of an unknown young woman
was found in field in Kentucky
highlands, about a half mile south
Of Fit. Thomas. There was no clue
but shoe, a corset and a woman's
check dress. Bloodhounds were
called into requisition but gave
contradictory clues. One went to
Covington reservoir and the other
to point in the road and stopped.
The reservoir was drained but the
head was not found. The shoe
was traced to a farm in Green
castle. Ind. A hundred clues
were worked without result. Yes
terday Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, farmer
people, identified the dress and
shoe as those of their daughter,
Pearl Bryan, who left home last
Tuesday week, January 2Sth, to
go to indianapolis te visit friends.
She did not go there.
Officers wired the chief of police
Of Cincinnati yesterday to arrest
Scott Jackson, student at the
Ohio Dental college and charge
him with the murder. They got
him last night. Detectives arrest
ed VIM. Wood, as an accomplice,
last night at South Bend, Ind.
When arrested Jackson protested
his innocence, but he is held
charged with the murder. He is
we'll connected at Greencastle, Ind.
VIM. Wood, who was arrested at
South Bend, is a near relative of
Rev. Mr.. Wood, presiding elder of
that district OF the Methodist
church.
1915 p. M: Scott Jackson, ac-
cused Of the murder Of Pearl Bryan
Of Greencastle, Ind, has confessed
his guilt and duplicates Alonzo M.
Walling. Wslling also confessed
to a personal knowledge Of the
murder OF the girl last Friday
night. Walling tries to lay the
whole blame on Jackson. The
satchel which the murdered woman
brought here January 2Sth was
shown to JAG kson to examine the
blood stains In it. He would not
quite admit the head had been in
the satchel, but said 1t looked as il
had been there.
A startling statement was made
by Jackson in his cell this morning
which may be classed as an indi-
cation OF the sort Of plea the man
will make in the case. All circum-
stances point to him as the MUIR
derer of Pearl Bryan. 81 am in

SOUTH BEND, Ind Feb. 6.-Will.
Wood, son OF Rev. ID. A. Wood, OF
Greencastle, Ind, was arrested
here on the strength of telegram
alleging that he might be an &C
complete in the murder Of the
young woman at Fort Thomas,
KY, whose headless body was
found there last Saturday. It is
alleged that Wood put the unfor-
tunate girl on the train at Green
castle, and was the last person in
that place seen with her. Wood
and an officer left for Cincinnati,
today.
1t has developed that she was
killed on Friday night, in an Oper-
alton for abortion, and Wood,
Jackson and Walling are deeply
implicated.
