DISPUTE OVER COLLEGE
CHURCH WANTS A PHIL
IPPINE INSTITUTION.
Litigation If the Commits
sion Decides i'm Favor of the Cow
ernment-Lieut. stack Dead.

MANILA, Dec. 1.-THE Philippines COM
mission has completed the tariff bill and
mailed it to Washington for approval. The
decision of the commission will be made
public on Monday.
The first question to be dealt with by the
commission affecting an issue between the
church and the United States government
is whether the control of the San Jose
Medical College is vested in the govern
ment or in the church. The college was es-
tablished by request, in the seventeenth
century, and the Jesuit order was given it's
control. When the authority of the Jesuits
in the Philippines ceased the Spanish gov
eminent assumed direction of the college
and later permitted the Dominican order to
conduct San Jose College as part of the
University of Santo Tomas. Following the
American occupation a representative Of
the people claimed that the college, under
the treaty of Paris, came into the control
of the United States and ought not to be
controlled by the church. The church au-
thorities claimed the church had full legal
possession. General Otis finally closed the
institution. The first hearing took place
shortly after the commission arrived. Arch
bishops Chappelle and Nozaladea made the
presentations of the church. If the COM
mission decides that the control is vested
in the government litigation is considered
probable.

NOT INDIANAPOLIS BEER
CHEMISTS "a THERE Is POISON IN
A POPULAR BEVERAGE.
icaI Anffseptfc-Many Con-
yentions i'm Session.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The possibility Of
arsenical poisoning in beer was the topic
of popular interest at the opening session
Of the convention Of the American Chem
zeal Society to-day. The one hundred
chemists from all parts of the country
turned from discourses on atoms and ele-
ments and joined in the argument growing
out Of the recent wholesale poisoning In
England. DIR. Edward Gudeman charged
the brewers with willfully introducing into
beer an arsenical antiseptic to prevent the
fermentation of the beverage from pro-
crossing too far. and his assertion proved
the sensation of the session. Several other
chemists spoke on the question. urging that
all beer and other brewed liquors should be
thoroughly anaylzed TO protect the con-
sumers from danger Of poison.

a paper by Charles A. Parsons. of New
Hampshire College, Durham, n. H., in
which a recipe was given for distinguishing
oleomargarine from butter. The sample,
the writer said. should be placed in boiling
milk and cooled, being stirred during the
process. If the fat collects into a ball the
sample Is oleomargarine; If not, 1t is but

Gained Control of Northern Branch of
the Guatemala Railway.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 27.-American
capitalists have outwitted European finan-
ciers in Guatemala, according to a letter
just received from United States Minister
w. Godfrey Hunter by his son in this city.
Mr.. Hunter writes that an American COM
pany has gained control of the Guatemalan
railroad known as the northern branch. and
extending from Porto Barrios to Ell Rancho,
a distance of 135 miles. The road, which
was owned by the government, runs
through a rich country of banana, orange.
sugar and coffee plantations, and the
freight business is immense. According TO
Mr.. Hunter financiers of England. Ger
many, France and Austria wanted to buy
the road outright. but the American COM
pany, by a clever maneuver. succeeded in
gaining control of the property on terms
that seem to insure success and heavy
profits. The company has agreed TO extend
the road from FL Rancho to Guatemala city
at a cost of about $1,000, 600, and to operate
a steamship line in connection with the
railroad, thus insuring the Guatemalan
planters quick delivery of their products to
northern markets.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Twenty maddened
female prisoners in the Raymond-street
jail. Brooklyn. rioted to-day and fiercely
assaulted Matron Fannie Handy and War
den McGrath. There was no attempt to

transferring the prisoners from one corri-
der to another in the woman's section when
she was attacked by Nellie Jones, a power
fully built woman. who had been sentenced
for fifteen days for intoxication. Miss
Handy was felled. Nineteen other prisoners
then assaulted her. While the blows rained
thick upon her head and body, she man
aged to reach a push button that rang a
bell in the warden's Office.
Warden McGrath rushed to the woman's
department without waiting to call for
assistance. As he entered the corridor he
diverted the attention of the Infatuated
women and they jumped on him. The blows
were fast and furious, and McGrath went
TO the floor. Hat pins were brought into
play and his face, head and neck were
gOuged
Miss Handy made her way through the
crowd and again rang the alarm. The
sheriff, under sheriff and five deputies re-
piled. They had much trouble in subduing
the women, but succeeded, and two of them
were placed in straitjackets. The others
were put in separate cells and then the
prison physician was called to attend the
wounded warden and the matron.

BARRE. VT, Dec. 27.-Chief of Police
Brown was ambushed by Anarchists early
this morning and probably fatally wounded
He quelled a row at a dance given by Ital-
ian Anarchists and thereby incurred the
i'll will of the disturbers. The row at the
Socialists Hall occurred at about midnight
when several persons who were known to
be Anarchists appeared at the ball. Fists,
clubs and revolvers were used, and the
police were summoned 10 put a stop to the
disturbance. After considerable difficulty
the combatants were separated and dis
armed and the Anarchists were expelled.
This seemed to settle the difficulty and the
police withdrew. AS Chief Brown was max
ing his way along a lonely street he heard
a shot as a bullet whistled by his head. This
seemed a signal for a fusillade from diff
ferent directions and the chief started 70
run. at the same time trying To open his
coat to get his own revolver. However,
two bullets struck him and as he fell a
third found Judgment in his body. In the
had appeared and the chief recognized them
all. When they saw him fall, the men ran
away. The chief became unconscious and
for an hour he lay where he had fallen in
the snow, exposed to bitter cold. At the end
of that time a passer by saw him and the
chief was taken to his home, where he re-
covered consciousness and was able to
tell who his assailants were. The police
then put Otto Bernaccio and Luigi SASH
under arrest. Chief Brown identified both.
Doctors express doubts as TO his recovery.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 27.-John w.

according to a statement made to-
night by Detective Sergeant James Storen.
a Chicago police officer, who has arrested
Grove a number of times in the past With
a view TO discovering the fugitive's hiding
place, a search of several houses I'm Sixty
third street, near Stewart avenue. has been
made by Storen, acting on
that Grove had been recognized on that
street. Christmas day. In pursuing his
quest, the sergeant stumbled on evidence
which. he says, convinced him that Grove
has been in Chicago recently and that in
the guise of a woman, clothed I'm a black
robe and heavily yelled, the suspect went
abroad with impunity I'm the streets OF
Englewood, the suburb where he once was
a resident, and is well known TO many peo-
pie. Storen claims TO AVE traced Grove
to a room where he was masquerading as
a young widow in mourning. but that Grove
received warning from his friends that the
police were on his trail and escaped before
a capture could be effected. IL would be
easy for Grove to make up as a woman, as
his face is almost beardless and his height
not too great.

struck in the street car mems strike was
received this evening by William Patterson,
the new superintendent of the Scranton
Railway Company. Transfers blocked the
car he was running and breaker boys and
street urchins assaulted 1t with potatoes,
stolen from an adjacent freight car. When
the trolley car reached strike headquarters
the strikers boarded 1t and attempted TO
take off the crew. Some one pulled Super
intendent Patterson from the car, and he
was dealt a blow on the head with a fist or
club that knocked his hat off and caused
him TO reel. Two strikers, Edward and
Joseph Pentley. burly brothers. rushed the
superintendent into a saloon, protecting
him from the crowd with great difficulty
and then barring the entrance to give the
superintendent lime to escape by the rear
door. The other strikers helped three po-
Ece officers to dispense the crowd and also
helped the company officials to take the
stalled car to the barn.
Eleven cars were moved to-day, but not
more than six at one time. AS far as
known not a single passenger was carried.
some strangers who boarded a car az
Lackawanna avenue were induced TO get
of and accepted a free ride in one of the
buses, which the strikers maintain for
just such a purpose.

Sudbury and one from B~inghamton were
turned back by the strikers to-day. The
mpan secured six men last night from

Her Only Excuse When Arrested Was
that He Sncered mt Her-To Be
Sent to n M~ndhouse.

CONCORD. ". H, Dec. GA sensational
episode came to a climax last night in the
arrest of Mrs. Carrie Sinclair Huntoon,
twenty-six years of age. wei known in So
ciety and at the time Of her marriage one
of the bellies of the city. on the charge of
conspiracy with intent to kill her divorced
husband, Walter c.. Huntoon, of whom, *
is asserted, she has been extremely
Jealous. At the September term of the SUI
perior Court Mrs. Huntoon was granted
a divorce from her husband on statutory
grounds.
The story of The murder conspiracy as
given out by the police is as follows: On
Monday Mrs. Huntoon went to Boston.
and in the Union Station there accosted
a young man, William III. Dutton. of Dor
chester. a total stranger. asking him if he
was looking for work and would like to
earn a dollar. He said no. but she out
lined a plan to him to kill her husband,
promising a reward. Dutton gave her no
definite answer and he went home and
told his father Of the conversation. His
father sent him to the police authorities
in Boston and they in turn notified City
Marshal Locke, giving the latter a de-
scription of the woman as Dutton remem-
DClCQ z VII lu-cOoJs II pOllIC Sass
Mrs. Huntoon came back to this city and
wrote a letter to young Dutton telling him
to come here at once ard giving directions
es to how he was to do the job when he
got here. Dutton showed the letter to the
police and by their directions met Mrs.
Huntoon here at the rear of the State
house. Marshal Locke and Assistant
Marshal Rand watched the proceedings.
Young Dutton claims that Mrs. Huntoon
handed him a loaded revolver and an en-
velope which she said contained a five-dol-
lar bill as part payment Tor the job and
another envelope as a decoy letter which
was to be given to Huntoon, her former
husband, in order to get him out of the
house end into a favorable Ilace for the
carrying out of the crime. Mrs Huntoon
POINTED in the direction of the house, and
as she did so the city marshal stepped up
and caught her by the arm. She recog-
ilized the marshal and went into Mysteries.
When size came to her senses she was al
lowed to say goodbye to her aged mother
and her little child and was then arrested.
Mrs. Huntoon'S only excuse is that Hun
toon sneered at her when they met on the
street.
Many Of her friends said her troubles
with her husband caused her extreme men,
tai anguish, and that she was not RESPONSE
BILE for her acts. This view of the case
was taken by a commission to-day, which
Pronounced her insane. She will be taken
