OLIVE PICKER MuTINY.
But One Mar, Cook John Ander-
son, Is to Be Tried.
District Attorney White Has the Indictments
Against Others Dismissed.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 14.-When the Olive
pecker mutiny case comes up for trial
there will be but one man of the crew of
six to confront the charge. John Ander-
son, the cook. the confessed murderer of
the captain and mate of the schooner.
and who is charged with burning the YES
sci. Several weeks ago, two of the crew,
Andrew Marsh and Martin Barstad, were
acquitted of the charges against them
and held as witnesses.
The other three, John Lind, VIM. Hers
burg and Manuel DeDios Borrial, were
indicted as accessories to both murders
and as principals in the destruction of the
schooner. Today, the indictments against
them were dismissed upon motion by
District Attorney White.
In making this motion Mr.. White stated
that latter comforting with seafaring
men and learning the important position
which the cook occupies on a merchant
vessel. / have determined to accept the
statement of these men that they We're
forced by John Anderson to throw the
bodies of the captain and mate overheard
after he had shot them and then to help
burn the vessel, obeying his orders at the
pistol point. In word. have reached
the conclusion that the United States
would not under the circumstances be
justined in prosecuting these cases."

A GENERAL CUTOOWN
Is Final Decision Of Fall River Manu-
facturers Committee.
New Schedule Will Be Posted and Action al
the Employers Awaited.

Fall River Mass, Dec. 14-After being
in session the greater part of the after
noon, the manufacturers committee has
concluded its labors and finally adj
journed. AT the close of the meeting.
Secretary Rounseville gave out the state
ment that the committee voted to recom-
mend general cutdown in all depart
ments on the same basis.
The price for weaving a cut of "a
inches, GA by GA, print cloths, will be re-
duced from IS to 16 cents, and the reduce
ton in all other departments, without re-
serve, will be the equivalent of II 10 per
cent. Contrary to report, the schedule
now in use will be the basis for the new
one. and no changes will be made beyond
the reduction.
The spinners' schedule, which has
served as the basis for all wage changes
for nearly 10 years, will be used as the
OASIS IN the present case, each mill figur-
ing the new price as it becomes necessary
by reason of changes in numbers of yards
spun. 1t is the expectation and recon-
mendation of the committee that the sal
airy of all administrative officers be re-
duced II 1-9 per cent. from the present
figures.
The new schedule will be sent out bv
Secretary Rounseville very soon, and then
developments will hinge upon the atti-
tude of the operatives as the new prices
are made known to them by the officials
of the various mills.

ALlTTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams ST.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

SEC. CAGES CURRENCY BILL.
He Will Submit One General Measure, Thurs.
day. to the Banking Committee.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE determine
ton OF Secretary Gage to appear, Thurs
| DAY, ana to submit one general financial
| Dill instead of number of seperate bills,
brought out many expressions of salts
| faction. 1t cleared up situation which
was becoming strained. The understand
| ing was reached as result of a visit to
the Capitol of the solicitor of the treas
ury, Mr.. Council, representing Mr.. Gage
He talked with a number of Republican
leaders and it is understood was advised
by them and others that it would be de-
sirabie to embrace financial subjects in
one general bill Later the solicitor met
Chairman Walker and other members of
the committee on banking and currency
II was made known that Mr.. Gage pre-
ferred to let the subject go over until at
ter the holiday recess. The committee
urged. however, that it desired to take
the Gage bill and also that submitted by
the monetary conference under cOnsiilera-
ton during the holidays in order to be in
position to report progress when the
House recOnvened. 1t was decided that
Mr.. Gage should submit his measure,
Thursday. and explain and argue it's
merits and answer questions from the
committee, and it was also understood
that the secretary would cover all. his
proposals in one general bill.
The members of the committee then
canvassed the course they would take as
to making an immediate report to the
House on currency questions. 1t was de-
cided that the first thing to be done was
W IepoTt Il pill eHlDouElnS the three Ieat-
ures recommended by the President, viz:
A reduction of the tax on circulation to
y of per cent; the issuance of circula-
ton up to the par value of bonds deposit
ed; and the establishment of small banks
in rural communities.
While these will be embodied in the
Gage plan, yet they were especially
advised in the Presidents message. it was
felt to be advisable to give the House the
opportunity of acting on them at once.
not waiting for the report on the Gage
bill. For these reasons, the whole COM
mittee will be asked to report on the
Presidents plans at once. The draft of
the bill has been prepared by Mr.. Brosius
of Pennsylvania. and this was given to
the solicitor of the treasury, who is to
return it in time for action by the COM
mittee. with such suggestions as the
treasury authorities may wish to make.
The comprehensive Gage bill and the
monetary conference bill will be gone
over with care during the holidays, and
members of the banking and currency
committee say there is no doubt that ac-
ton will be reported to the House soon
after the holidays.

Many friends visited Rev. David r.

cello. N. Y, now confined in the county
Jail, he having been convicted of as
sault upon his wife. Mrs. Howell, at
the trial. said that he had choked and
beaten her in brutal way, because she
had tried to drive his pet cat out of the
house. The court sentenced the rector
to five days Imprisonment, or to pay
a fine of IS. Howell told the court that
he would not pay the fine but would
serve the sentence. A number of How
ellis friends offered to pay the fine but
the minister would not accept the offer,
and accordingly was taken to Jail.
