Gaugers and Storekeepers Removable
Only for Cause
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE case of
Butler, Berry and Ruckman, govern
ment gaugers and storekeepers in a dis
tillery in the West Virginia collecting
district. which was tried by Judge Jack
son Of the United States Circuit court
and decision reached by which Col
lector White is restrained from either
removing or transferring them to other
subordinate positions, as was contem-
plated, has been referred to the solic-
itor OF the treasury. A somewhat SINH
lar case as to the powers of collectors
of internal revenue to appoint or remove
their deputies was referred to the attor-
ney general, who has decided to express
an opinion on the facts presented. Judge
Jackson held in the case of the gaugers
and storekeepers that they cannot be re-
moved from their positions except for
causes other than political, in which
event their removal must be made under
the terms Of the civil service act and the
rule promulgated under it which re-
Quires that no removals shall be made
except for cause nor until after the
charges against the person sought to be
removed have been presented to him and
he has been given an opportunity for
defense. The internal revenue bureaus
contention is directly opposed to this
view Of the law.

A GERMAN WARSHIP
Will Come Over to Collect Bill From
Hayti

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE German war;
ship Gefion will sail for Port au Prince,
Hayti, next week, to insist upon re-
dress for the arrest and alleged unlaw-
full imprisonment of Herr Lueders, a
German subject. Lueders claims that
the Haytian police forced their way into
his residence, contrary to law, to arrest
one of his servants. He resisted the
police, for which he was fined $4S and
sentenced to a months Imprisonment.
upon appeal he was fined $500 and sen
fenced to years imprisonment, al
though it is claimed no evidence was
presented against him. Thereupon the
German minister demanded that Lue-
ders be released and paid $1,000 for each
of the twenty-three days he had been
imprisoned, and $4,000 for each additional
days Imprisonment after.this demand.
President Sam at first refused to grant
the minister's demand and Lueders re-
mained in prison six days longer. There
upon the German minister notified the
Haytian government that he had hauled
down his flag and had sent the archives
of the German legation to the legation
of the United States, thus severing all
diplomatic relations with the govern
ment of Hayti. The action of the Ger
man minister caused great deal Of ex-
citement at Port au Prince. There were
threats to lynch the prisoner; the life of
the German minister was threatened;
1t was proposed to attack the legation,
and, acting upon the advice of his coun-
selors, who were not desirous of pre-
clpitating further trouble, Lueders was
released, reached New York on October
30th and sailed for Europe the same day,

POOR PRINCE GEORGE
Deeply Affected by the Greek Torpedo
Scandal

0CRIA04
BRINDISI, Italy, Nov. 11.-Letters re-
ceivcd here today from Athens say that
the torpedo scandal continues to be the
sensation Of the Grecian capital. The
basis of. this scandal was the discov-
cry that all the cartridges fitted to the
torpedoes during the war with Turkey
were not provided with percussion caps
and Illuminating mercury, and that
therefore they would have been useless
in case they were needed. The commit
te Of investigation appointed to inquire
into the matter decided that two off,
GERS, Capts. Rastopouli and Anastasi.
must be tried by court martial on the
charge of culpable negligence. Capt.
Rastopouli. who IL now being tried, has
asked that Prince George of Greece.
who commanded the torpedo fleet dur
ing the war and who was previous to
the war great favorite with the
masses, be called as O witness.
The court has refused to do this, and
the Greek newspapers are publishing
vigorous articles on the subject, the
anti-dynastic Heustia going so far as
to demand that Prince George be tried
by court martial. The prince ia known
to be deeply affected by the scandal
and by the attacks made upon him
and upon the royal family generally
in consequence of this fresh example OF
unpreparedness of Greece for an olVt-
break of hostilities.

PERUVIAN MARRIAGES
Non-Catholic Unions Will Be Made
Legal

(. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.-Although
the Peruvian legation here has not been
officially advised of the passage by the
Peruvian congress on Tuesday of the
bill to legalize non-Catholic marriages
by the magistrates of towns, no sort of
doubt is expressed at the legation that
the cables to this effect are correct. The
contest over this question has been pro-
tracted and has aroused considerable
feeling in Peru. The clericals have
fought the measure since it's inception.
The bill itself was championed by the
government and was passed by the
house of deputies at the last session of
congress, and the long struggle ended in
the victory for the government, when it
was finally sanctioned by the senate
on Tuesday. Several of the Protestant
church organizations in the United
States had taken up the matter and
urged this government to use it's good
offices in aid of the measure.

THE MILEAGE TICKET
NO LONGER TROUBLES THE
WESTERN LINES
The Situation in Eastern Freight
Rates Grows Steadily Worse.
Rate War Threatened

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE western lines
have overcome difficulty in the way OF
selling interchangeable mileage tickets
that at one time threatened to cause
them serious embarrassment. The mat
ter related to the selling of the tickets
at union ticket Offices. After consider
able discussion 1t was decided that all
of the tickets sold out of union ticket
offices shall bear the name of some one
road which is member of the West
ern Passenger association, and this road
will account to the others for the amount
Of mileage used over their lines. 1t is
the opinion of Chairman Caldwell that
this arrangement will prevent any con-
fusion in the matter.
The situation in eastern freight rates
continues to grow worse instead Of bet
ter, and there are no signs of improve
ment. Nearly all roads declare that
their competitors are cutting rates in
defiance OF all agreements to the con-
trary, and from this situation to open re-
ductions is only short distance. 1t is
said that the attention of the Joint Traf-
fic association will be called to the mat
ter and IL Ii does not bring up the worst
offenders with a round turn 1t Is likely
that an open war in rates will be the
result.
The refusal of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf to become q member of
the Southwestern Passenger association
is considered by the majority Of the Chi
cago lines practically to destroy all hope
of forming any association at all. The
Pittsburg and Gulf has announced that
1t had no intention Of being disturber
of rates and that there will be nothing
in it's methods to prevent the other roads
from going on with their association
II they desire to do so.
Notwithstanding this declaration it is
not at all probable that the Chicago
lines which have strong interests in the
southwest will become members Of the
southwestern association il the Pitts
burg and Gulf remains on the outside,
and this may mean that there will be
no association.
