A Trade Union Case

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 4.-Judge Nc
Mahan, in the High Court, has given
Judgment in an action of interest to
trades unions. A stone cutter named
Beaulieu sued the other members of his
branch of the Stone Cutters Associa- =
tion of North America for conspiracy
in accusing him of fomenting a strike,
tining him $3.50 and eXpelling him from
the association. The Judge decided that
such action, although unjust, did not
constitute conspiracy. However, he
gave the plaintiff $500 damages for libel
because the charges were published in
the journal of the union.

A Light Sentence

SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 4.-James G..
Bennett, the man who nearly murdered
his wife, nearly killed himself and es-
capped from the Receiving Hospital and
was only recaptured after a long chase,
which took the officers of the law as far
north as British Columbia, had the har-
dihood to beseech Judge Wallace not to
make a convict of him. Judge Wallace
emphatically denied the request. He
said that justice had not been satisfied
by such a. verdict as that rendered by the
jury, of guilty of assault with a deadly
weapon. 1t was absurd that a man
should receive only two-years' impris-
onment for nearly numbering his wife.
He therefore ordered that Bennett re-
ceive the maximum penalty and be i'm
prisoned at San Quentin for the term of
two years.

SAILOR EPPS' MURDER
WAS NEVER INVESTIGATED BY
JAPAN
Profuse Promises Were Followed by
Most Perfunctory and inefficient
Performance

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The presi-
dent today transmitted to the senate
the correspondence received at the state
department concerning the murder of
Frank Epps and William Montgomery,
United States sailors, in japan.
The details of these murders were
published from adyices to the state de-
partment December % last. In the corre-
spondence sent to the senate today. un-
| der date of December 2s, Minister Buck
called the attention of Baron Nissi To-
ziro, minister of foreign affairs. to the
failure of Japan to arrest the murderers
| of Epps and urged that the authorities
| of Nagasaki be directed to do all In their
power to apprehend the criminals.
Baron Nissi expressed to Minister Buck
his intention in behalf Of an earnest ef-
fort to discover and arrest the murder
ers in both cases.
Writing to Minister Buck. under date
of December %, Admiral McNair. after
reviewing the case. concluded:
81 am, therefore. led to believe that the
action Of the japanese authorities in
these cases has been characterized by q
lack either Of energy or intelligence, or
both.
Admiral McNair, writing to Minister
Buck, under date OF December q, ex-
presses doubt that the men arrested by
the Japanese officials for the murder Of
Epps are the real criminals, and adds
that the strong pressure brought to
bear upon the Japanese authorities by
yourself and the consul has compelled
at least an apparent display of energy
in seeking the murderers of Epps, which
is in contrast with the listless course OF
action pursued in the case Of Montgom-
cry"
Consul Abercrombie, writing to Min
lister Buck from Nagasaki. under date
of December 20, gives this account of the
death of Epps:
"At about $3.50 p. m. on the night OF
December II, men on board the British
sailing ship st Enoch heard scuffiine
and a cry for help from the sampan
near by. Two of the sailors Jumped into
a sampan and sculled to the spot, but
were not quick enough to intercept the
campan men, who extinguished their
light and got away, but they succeeded
in picking up cap with the Olympia q
cap ribbon and the ships name marked
thereon.
Sworn statements We're made before
Captain c. V. Gridley. commanding the
Olympia, by the mate and one of the mer
of the ST. Enoch, stating that they saw
a seaman of the Olympia struck by the
sampan men and pushed overheard"
Later, according to Consul Abercrom
bic. the sampan men were arrested and
held for trial.
1t appears from Admiral McNair's let
ter to Secretary Long that the JAPANESE
authorities made no attempt to secure
the dispositions of the mate and sea
men Of the st. Enoch who were witness
es Of the murder of Epps, and that at thu
examination of the alleged murderer
mo person representing any branch O
the United States was allowed to b.
present"

INSTANT RELEASE ORDER
ED.
Permission Had Been Granted the
La Fayette to Enter Havana,
but the Instructions Fail
cd'to Reach Captain
Sampson.

Key West, May 6, $50 p. m.
Commodore Watson this after
noon received orders from Wash
ington to instantly release the
French mail steamer La Fayette,
and to send her to Havana under
escort. The capture of the
Frenchman by the gun boat Anna
polls turned out to have been an
unfortunate incident, resulting
from mistakes; but no protest has
been made to the representatives
of the French republic in the
United States.
The officials here declare that
this will close the affair. 1t ap-
pears that before the La Fayette
sailed for Havana. the French
legation in Washington was in
structed to communicate with the
State Department. This was done
and permission granted to the
steamer to enter and discharge her
passengers and cargo, with the
understanding that she would take
on nothing there. Instructions
for the fuItilmcnt of this agree
ment were sent from ashington
to Admiral Simpsons squadron,
and it was only learned today,
after the capture was made, that
they were never delivered.
This afternoon United States
Commissioner Otto, United States
District Attorney STRIPPING and
II number of other Federal Off
cialS, went out to the La Fayette,
examined her papers and cabled
the State Department for in
structions. They came without
delay in the form of an order to

Simpsons $ Fleet.

New York, May "a special
to The Herald from Washington
says:
Cable adviccs received from
Rear Admiral Sampson announce
his arrival off the coast of Hayti
with a division of his fleet. He
will remain at the point where he
is now located until one of the
scouts inform him of the appear
ance of the Spanish men of war,
which sailed from st Vincent
nine days ago.
Although press reports have
been published announcing that
the Spanish fleet has arrived at
San Juan and off Martinique, the
department has heard nothing
from the American liners acting
as scouts confirming such reports,
and the consular officers of this
government in the West Indies
are silent. The officers are under
instructions to report to the de
partmcnt of state when they had
reliable information of the pres
cncc of any Spanish men of war.
The naval board has calculated
the Spanish squadron to be at, or
near Porto Rico by this time and
it is in tho hope of bottling them
up in the harbor of San Juan that
the men of war of the North At
lantic squadron are lowering with
in short distance of Porto Rico.
Some apprehension sxists in
naval circles of the possibility
that the Spanish vessels scout at
night or in misty weather, in
which event of course it will be
more difficult to find them.

you have bilious look; if your
