RIGHT TO Kill WITCH

Portland, Or, Nov. 21.-Columbia
George and Toy Toy. two Umatilla In
dams on trial for the murder Of Anna
George. an Indian doctor, admitted poi.
soning the woman, but have a novel
defense. holding that they were au-
thorized to kill her by the laws OF their
tribe. In August, 1900, they poisoned
the squaw with strychnine, which they
mixed In glass OF whisky they gave
her. They were tried In the State
Court at Pendleton, where they were
convicted of murder In the first degree.
The case was appealed on the ground
OF lack of Jurisdiction and transferred
Ia the Federal Court.
Their lawyers maintain that the In
dams believed the woman was a witch
and had unnatural power over them.
Toy asserts she killed his father by in
carnations and George thinks she had
designs on his life. II is argued that as
the tribal laws permit witches to be
put to death there was no bad motive
In the Indians actions. II Is the first
case known where such plea Aas been
entered

against tariff concessions such as no
believed to be In contemplation. He
contended that past experience show.
ed reciprocity treaty was not bene
hcial to the country.
Frank Leake. representing the Man.
ufacturers' Club Of Philadelphia, ia.
vored the creation OF Department OF
Commerce and Manufactures, to avert
extensive fluctuations In conditions
brought about by ill.advised agitation.
George j. Seaburn OF New York ad.
vocated the upbuilding of strong
merchant marine and the construction
OF an isthmian canal as paramount In
Importance to reciprocity treaties. He
advocated reduction In the war reve.
nue. tax, but not on the Dingley tariff.
His speech. which he said was New
fork's contribution to the meeting.
urged a "procrastination in general
commercial reciprocity"
George A. Loughlin of Wheeling,
w. Va. Interested In the manufacture
OF steel billets, arraigned the United
States Steel Company. He said that
before its organization his company
had been able to buy its material al
a figure that enabled 1t to sell In ali
markets of the world. but since the
organization OF the United States Steel
Company this trade had been seriously
lnterfered with and the present out.
look was that his company's trade
with South America would be extin
guished shortly.
The night session, devoted to the
subject OF reciprocity with the Span.
lsh.American countries. developed the
TACT that the delegates were having n
difhcut time In avoiding making
straight-out high tariff speeches. while
striving to conflne themselves to the
discussion OF reciprocal relations. The
discussion tonigh, centered mainly
around the matter of the importation
OF hides from Argentina. w. b. Rice
OF Boston spoke especially IN the In,
terests OF the leather industry, and. I'm
mentioning the tari. on hides from
Argentina, said that this tariff bene
flied nobody and that the hide cues
ton between Argentina and the
United States offered good chance
TO try on the mantle of reciprocity.
President Search interrupted Mr.
Rice ut one time, telling him to con
nne himself to reciprocity and not To
drift upon the tariff question. to which
the latter retorted that he did not
think any one could talk reciprocity
without talking ar, a reply which
brought out general laughter.
The American Protective TarifI
League decided 10 decline the invita-.
ton OF the National Association OF
Manufacturers to be represented as a

Fully 100 delegates. all representing

Throughout ,Ge Issht.

New York. July Sl-The Madrid rep
resentaiivo Of The Journal has obtained
an interview from Captain Dlaz Morau.
who commanded the Cristobal Colon
during the naval conflict OIL Santiago.
Says Captain Morau In reference 10 the
movements Of Admiral schloy:
"A!l the American officers. without
exception. did their duty in the naval
battle of Santiago. So did we, although
IL Is certain that we were vanished by
superiority Of force.
"It il absurd and unpatriotio 10 make
any exception IN tho case of Admiral
sehley II Is absurd because the Brook
lyn was in the thickest Of the night
throughout She was a, the mouth Of
the harhor when we tried % pass out.
and engaged rs with terrific fire, do
ing frightful damage 20 the end. In
tbs pursuit Of tha Christobal Colon
we surrendered 70 the Brooklyn i5 miles
west Of Santiago.
"The Brooklyn was tho first to en-
counter Us as We were coming out, and
the first 20 Lead in the pursuit, and she
kept up the lead, with the Oregon vast
ly aiding. The Brooklyn landed shell
just ahead of my ship and, with the
Oregon helping her there Was nothing
left for me % do but run ashore.
"The Brooklyn's conduct WAS brave.
hence Commodore schloy was brave.
Schley was on post, whore hc was put by
Sampson. After the battle commenced
each commander acted according 70 cir
cumstances aud events show that the

own report was a model q plain, sailor

generous. The suggestion ~ c0wardica
probably comes from towards
IL have read in III Mundo Naval that
this attack upon naval oliCgr has a
low political basis. Tho navy should be
left outside OF politics.
Admiral samps1n's own official re-
port is evidence of the Bro0klyns ac-
tive part and Of Schioy's competency
and bravery Tho adverse criticism Is
obviously an afterthought As a naval
