BOTH BOUND OVER
w. IL. Walden aad X, G. Buford Held
for Murder of Thos. Hoffman.

W. r. Walden and r. C. Hurford were
bound over to the next term of the dis
trict court without bond, on the charge
Of killing the Santa Fe brakeman, ~Thos
Hoffman, June 81 A number of wit
nesses We're examined and the trial oc-
cupied most of the morning in city court
Conductor Edwards, who had charge of
the train on that day, was the first wit
ness to be examined. In his statements
he said that he did not see the beginning
of the quarrel, and did not know that
Holman had tried to use board on the
men. He also testified that when he first
saw then men after they reached the
ground that Hoffman and Walden were
souffling but at that time he did not
see the board which is claimed was used
by both parties in the fight.
Frank Vogel a brakeman on the same
train, was examined and testified as to
having seen the whole affair after the
men reached the ground. According to
his statements, Hoffman was attacked by
the men and was beaten by them with
this board. He also testified that a gem
eral fight occurred and after the affair
the men ran from the train. His testi-
mony all the way through was damaging
to the men charged with the deed.
DR.. Purdue was examined in regard to
the wounds on Huffman, he having made
the examination after Hoffman was
brought to the city. He had only two
wounds noticeable-one on his cheek and
the other was a long wound on the righth
side of his head and extending the entire
length of it, evidently caused by blunt
instrument. This did not seem to be very
dangerous at the time when examined
here, but it Is claimed that this wound
caused his death.
Claude Stetler of Mulvane, who was on
the train at the time was examined, but
failed to give any damaging evidence.
al Heilman ,one of the brakemen on
the train, was also put on the stand, but
as he did not see much of the affair." was
not fully examined.
The prisoners sat near their attorneys
Adams & Adams during theh trial and
paid very close attention to the, evidence
being given. There was nothing in their
appearance at the trial which would in
dictate that they are criminals Both
seemed to feel very much affected over
the decision in the case, but are deter
mined to fight it clear through the courts.
The case will probably come up during
the next term of the district court, and
will be one of the hardest fought cases
now on the docket

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT ANNOUNCES HIS
ICE TRUST DECISION
THE MAYOR NOT TO BE REMOVED
While Technically Guilty OF Violation
of the Law i'm Owning Ice Trust stool
There Was no Proof of wfIlful Viola
ton Thereof-The Power of Removal
n to be Exercised With Great
Caution-The Governor Urges More
EStringent Laws for Supervision and
Control OF Corporations.

Albany, n. Y, November 23.-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt tonight gave out his
decision in the application for tho re-
moval from office of Mayor Robert A.
VanWyck, OF New York. He de-
clines to remove the mayo on the
grounds that, while he was ~undoubted-
ly a stakeholder in the American Ice
Company, there has been no proof that
he willfully violated the law forbidding
a public officer to be a stockholder in
a corporation having dealings with
his municipality. The governors mem
orandum says:
Il concur in the attorney generals
opinion. My judgment is hat the So
called ice trust is not a corporation in
which the mayor of New York should
have stock; but no proof has been Of
fered of any willful violation of law
on the part of the mayor such as would
justify the drastic measure of remov-
ing him from office. The power of re-
moval from office of elective officers
should be treated much as we treat
h power of impeachment. 1t is an
extraordinary, and not ordinary rene
dy.
THE normal remedy for bad govern
ment must be an appeal to the people,
and only in wholly exceptional cases
is it desirable to substitute for this ap-
peal to the people an appeal to the
power of removal or the power of i'm
parchment. The case is therefore dis
missed"
In giving out his decision the govern
or said:
Although the matter of the trusts
is not directly involved in this decision
l wish to point out that the existing
law of the state, even provided that I'M
der it the attorney generals action
against the ice corporation should be
successful, is not adequate. In my last
annual message to the legislature 1 re-
commended the adoption of a system
! which would secure reasonable pub
licity of uch facts concerning cor
| porations as the public has a right
to know, and reasonable r~estric-
ton of having powers. Events have
! shown, especially in view of what
has occurred in connection with the
ice trust, that stronger action than
what 1 recommended should be taken.
| Not only should such provisions con-
| corning corporations as above mention
| ed be enacted into law, but there should
be lodged somewhere the power to pre-
| scribe the conditions under which for
eign and domestic corporations can dc
business in this state, and to deprive
them of their charters if they at any
time violate these conditions.

ANOTHER DIPLOMATIC NOTE
From the State Department to the
Powers on the Chinese Question.

Washington, November 23.-The sec
rotary of state has addressed an identi-
cal note to h lowers interested in the
Chinese situation, setting out tersely
and afresh the objects of the United
States government as to China and
pointing out how such objects as are
common to the powers a best be Sc
cured. The note marks the initiation
of fresh negotiations on our part on
the arrangement of a new basis to tide
over the impossible situation created
at the last meeting of the ministers in
Pekin. some responses already are at
hand. 1t is stated that generally our
advices ave been well received and
the state department expresses salts
faction with the progress so far acaiey-
ed.
1t is believed hat the note is an ap-
peal from the extreme course suggested
by some of the powers as to the treat
ment of China, especially in the mat
ter OF punishments and indemnities to
which the ministers at Pekin seem in
lined The intent is to push the ne
gotiations on a more rational and bus
iness-like basis.

ACUINALDO'S DEATI. REPORTED
Several Facts Which Tend to Confirm
the Report.

Washington, November 23.-The Ma
Mia papers of October 18th devote con-
siderable space to a renewal of the re-
port concerning Aguinaldo's death in
northern Luzon. They Sal that the
ci~rcumstantial character of the report
together with the fact that General
Trias recently has been signing him.
self "commander-in-chief of the sur
geant forces" lends strong color to the
belief that Aguinaldo may be dead. The
latest account in this line comes from
Ecija, in northern Luzon, where
in an outpost skirmish, Aguinaldo's
horse was killed, and his saddle bags,
with a number Of personal papers were
captured.
Aguinaldo was shot from his horse
and severely wounded. He was carried
by his followers into the jungle. and
subsequently was reported to be i'll
with fever. His body afterward was
carried down the river on a raft, slung
in a hammock and completely covered
with palm leaves, but the natives who
saw the passage of the raft We're I'M
certain whether he was lead or alive.
This. together with the claims of Trias
and others of the insurgent generals,
to the chief command the army, leads
the local Manila papers to give consid-
credence to the story.

FOR TAX
The subcommittee ut Work on the
Draft of the Bill.

Washington, November 23.-Chairman
Payne and Representatives DalZell and
Hopkins, acting as a subcommittee,
spent a portion of the day drafting the
bill to amend the war revenue law The
general provisions of the bill have
been agreed upon. The reductions to
be made will be in stamp taxes, as
heretofore indicated. A member of the
committee said today that although
there was some discussion concerning
reductions upon beer and also on cigars,
cigarettes and tobaccos, there did not
seem to be any inclination to reduce
the present tax on these articles as long
as there remained stamp taxes, which,
he said, We're obnoxious to every one
using them.
Although it is generally understood
that there is a very complete under
standing among the members of the
made, it is understood that no iron
clad agreement has been reached and
any part of the bill can be taken UP
and changed if found desirable; but
the members of the committee do not
expect many changes, for it is said the
full republican membership will not be
likely to meet again until next Friday,
one day before the full committee is to
be called together. The committee eX-
poets to present the bill to the house
on the first or second day of the seS-
sion.

A VESSEL BURNED AT SEA
Supposed to be the Derelict Schooner
Mary Z. Leermond.

New York, November 23.-The United
Fruit Company's team Ufler, which
arrived here today from Port Antonio,
jamaica, reports that on Tuesday
morning, November goth, at 5 o'clock
the officer of the watch reported a
burning ship in sight toward the north
northwest, some distance off, and shat
he though he saw some rockets fired.
The Uller steamed down to the burn
ing craft n prepared boats and lines
ito render any required assistance. At
6 o'clock the UIler was close along
side of the burning vessel, which APP
peared to have been a wooden sailing
craft, probably a Undertaken schoon-
er. She was burned to waters edge,
except in the bow, where the bowsprit
and part of h foremost were stand
ing. The Uller steamed about in the
vicinity, but could see no signs of life;
the whistle was blown and the ocean
was swept with the glass, but nothing
could be seen of castaways. The yes
sci had evidently been burning a long
time. The position in which the burn
ing vessel was sighted by the Uller
was latitude 27:41 N, longitude 1892
W., or about 500 miles due east of In
dian river inlet, Florida.
1t is probable hat the vessel IS dere-
lict schooner Mary Z. Leermond, of
Thomaston, Me, which was abandoned
while on a voyage from Fernandina,
Fla, to Mauritius, with a cargo of
lumber. From the time she was aban-
doned until last sighted on November
18th in latitude 27:40 N, longitude 1873
W., it is calculated that the vessel a
travelled over 600 miles.

Ambassador White has an important
interview yesterday with Baron o

the result Of instructions cabled from

pecially the penalties to be cxacted and

CAPTAIN CARRIERS CASE
Argument .of Counsel on the Habeas

Leavenvorth, Kan, November %
In h United States district court here
today before Judges Amos Thayer and

CORPUS proceedings brought by attor-
neys for Oberlin NJ. Carter, ~ex-captain
of h United States army, who was
dismissed from the army, fined and
sentenced to a term Of two years in
he federal prison at Leavenworth, on
the charge of completely in alleged at
tempted frauds in the government har-
Dor works contracts at Savannah. Ga.
Garter was brought from prison to
the court room in an ambulance mat
tended save by Warden McClaughey.
He appeared self-possessed, but avoid
ed the gaze of spectators who crowded
the room. He was attired in a new black
suit, which the warden had, at the
prisoners earnest solicitation, permit
ed him TO substitute for his prison
garb. His hair n heavy moustache
were much grayer than before he be-
gan serving his term and his face was
Frank P. Blair. of Chicago, and Con-
gresham GrosVenor, of Ohio, appeared
for Carter, while Colonel J. w. Clous,
deputy judge advocate general of the
army, and District Attorney I. E.. Lam

resented the government.
Attorney Blair opened for Carter.
whose conviction, he alleged, was lille
gal, inasmuch as it should nave been Sc
cured under the sixtieth article of war
instead of the siXty-second, and when
the president disappeared several find
ingS in a court marital, the full sem
tence pronounced by the court martial
cease to exist n its execution was il
legal and void. He also argued that
when Carter paid a fine and was dis
missed from h army and degraded,
the power Of the court martial was ex-
hausted and bore no right Ito cause i'm

| In reply to Mr.. Blair, Colonel Clous
commended that the court martial was
competent to decide under which charge
| the prisoner should be tried and that
: its decision was not subject to review
/ by any other court. He further argued
that the conviction On our charges
for one offense was not four convictions
for one offense. In his opinion Carter
/! is lot held a public prisoner of the
| United States IS an offender against
it's laws, the court martha retaining
jurisdiction for all purposes of trial,
judgment and execution. The matter
of the sentence standing unchanged in
spite of the disapproval of V of
the specifications on which Carter was
found guilty, Colonel ClouS held, was
in accordance with customs.
Judge Thayer announced that the
case would be taken under advisement
and he will notify attorneys when ready
to hand down a decision, which. it is
thought. will be in about a month.
