Want THEM TO
AT TEND CHURCH.
Street Railways WiIIsLet Men Off on
Sunday if Possible.

The officers of the street railway COM
panies Of Richmond have signitied their
willingness to do aIl in their power TO
comply with the request Of the Minis
terial Union made some time ago that
the employees be given opportunity to at
tend at least one regular church service
on Sunday.
Letters from the two companies were
read at the meeting of the union yester-
day and proved very encouraging Inc
Traction Company said that while 1t is
impossible to let all of the men have
holiday on Sunday, yet an effort Will pc
made to give them all a chance to get
to church President Patton, of the Pas-
senger and Power Company, said while
it was out of his province to make the
desired change, he would bring the mat
ter to the attention of the Board OF Dl-
rectors Of the company and do all IN hls
power to have them act on it favorabiy.
In connection with this matter. Rev.
Gar,cs +. Cook read to the Union an
anonymous letter, asking that the Ell
for..s Of the body, successful in the above
instance, be now directed to the better
ment of the conditions existing In the
round-houses of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway on Seventeenth Street and the
Second-Street Shops. and in other rail-
ways, where. the informant say,
to att I'D church on Sunday for years.
The letter says further that 1t would be
easily possible for the matter to be ar
ranged and to allow the men an occa-
sional Sunday off. After Il short discus
sion the letter was referred to the Bust
ness Committee. with instructions to re-
port at the next meeting of the Union.

MISS STONE
Has Small Chance Of
ESCAPING ALIVE
Bulgaria Has Released Her.
self From Responsibility

Washington, D. O., Nov. ID. The
state department officials no longer
venture to express an opinion regard
ing the outcome of the negotiations
for the release Of Miss Stone the kid
mapped missionary. They realize
that the situation has assumed a very
dangerous aspect. Although the
state department will support any ac-
tion Of the American officials in Tur-
key and Bulgaria looking to the res
cue Of the unfortunate missionary,
the officicials here are not pleased by
the recent attitude of ConSul.Gen.
Dickinson in his representations to the
Bulgarian officials.
He has informed the department
that the persistent pursuit of the ban
dts by Bulgarian troops has endang-
cred the life Of Miss Stone, and in
creased the hardships incident to the
shifting Of quarters, and that If the
government does not Immediately
stop such action and cooperate with
him ia his effort to secure the wo-
man s release through the payment OF
a ransom the brigands may kill her
to insure their own safety from arrest.
He has, therefore, demanded that the
authorities instantly call the troops
off and leave the abductors alone, and
has declared that II Miss Stone IS kill
ed as a result OF a refusal to comply
with his demand, the United States
government will hold Bulgaria respon-
sible for the missionarys death.
Secretary Hay will support MIR.
Dickinson, but he realizes that the
consul's demand will release the gov
ernment of Bulgaria from any and all
responsibility nc matter how the case
may terminate. This is just what
the government wanted and Mr.. Dick
inson, in his zeal to rescue Miss Stone
has apparently fallen into trap.
There seems to be no prospect what.
ever that the missionary will be res
cued through any other means than
the payment Of the ransom.
Some officials are Of the opinion
that the outlaws have no intention Of
releasing Miss Stone, but that they
are trying first to get their hands on
the money and then to dispose OF their
captive. Mr.. Dickinson is evidently
aware Of this purpose. 1t is believed
that the bandits know that Miss
Stone has sufficient knowledge of their
identity to cause their apprehension
should she obtain her freedom, and
there are some officials in the state
department who have freely said all
along that the brigands would never
take the chances of releasing their
captive, but would merely try to get
the money on the promise that they
would in return release Miss Stone.
This is probably what has delayed the
negotiations so long.

CRUEL NEGLECT
Horse With Broken Leg
Left All Night At
BENJAM|N'S FALLS
Sfot This Morning. Prose.
cutions May Follow

A horse with broken leg was left
all night laying by the roadside in the
town OF Berlin anG was shot this
morning by Constable Clark Shepard
to put it out of misery. The men who
thus left the animal are not known,
but if they can be caught will be
severely punished.
The animal must have been left
there about 1880 o'clock last night.
The spot where it was fouud this
morning was about midway between
the street railroad trestle and the
highway at Benjamin's Falls. A lit
tie further up was good road cart
and the harness thus showing that
the animal was abandoned purposely.
1t is supposed that it was driven off
the road and FELL breaking its leg. 1t
is not known whether or not the man
driving it was intoxicated, but it is
presumed he was.
The conductor on the car leaving
this city at 10.45 for the car barn,
states that two men attempted to stop
his car at Benjamin's Falls. 1t is pre-
sumed that these were the parties
abandoning tie horse.
The case has been placed in State S
Attorney Hoar's hands, and the off,
GERS are endeavoring to find out who
owned the animal, and who had it
last night .--...
The horse was discovered early this
morning when the first Car came up.
The authorities we're at once notified.

Spoilers
The Star Of Liquor De-
teCtives Has Set
RULED OUT
Boston jurists Are Not in
Favor Of This System
RULED OUT

Boston, Nov. IA. - Expert spottel
testimony, given in the Suffolk super
ior criminal court today in a liquor
case, developed the police practice Of
paying such spoilers the sum Of S:
upon the conviction of the person ac
cused. That such testimony is n ot in
favor with Jurors was made known
soon after the case was finished whel
verdict Of not guilty was prono7nc
ed.
TheIcase Twas against Ella Hughes
OF No. Vine St CharlestOwn, who
in the Charlestown district court, up
on the evidence Of the government
spotter, who said her name was Burke
was convicted and fined $500 and sen.
fenced to a term OF six months in the
house of correction.
The defence put in no evidence at
the time, but appealed, and it was the
appeal case that was tried today with
Lawyer J. J. Corbett for the defend
ant and Asst. Dist. Atty. Sughrue for
the government. 1t was not until
Mr.. Corbett began the cross-examina-
tion of the woman police Spotter
that the sensational part came out
The woman had testified that she had
gone to the house of Mrs. Hughes and
bought drink of whiSkey which was
delivered to her in bottle which she
had brought in the house.
After passing over this phase OF the
case Mr. Corbett asked the woman If
she was the Eta Burk who was named
as the complainant. The spotter ans
wered yes. Then Mr.. Corbett asked
again if she was sure that was the only
name she had and ii it was her correct
name. After considerable croSS-6re the
woman finally acknowledged that her
name was not Burk, but was Brett, and
said she never rightly had the name of
Burk. Further cross.examination de-.
veloped the fact that the woman re-
ceived from the arresting police officer
the sum of s2 for every conviction she
succeeded in getting and also received
her fees as witness.
When this acknowledgement was
made Mr.. Corbett called the defend
ant, who denied the spoilers story
and was not shaken on crOSs-examin-
tion.
The jury did not take long to agree
for it was hardly in its deliberation
room before it was out again with
not guilty verdict. there are three
or four other such cases on the list.
This is not the first time the Brett,
alias Burk, woman has been used by
the police. She has been in many i'm
portant cases for several months, a
number OF them convictions. At the
last sitting Of the court there were six
cases in which she was a witness, where
verdicts Of not guilty were ordered
without going to trial.

RECIPROCITY
Commercial Men Want
New Relations
WITH CANADA
Call Upon tho President and
Got His Sanction

Washington. D. c., Nov. 14.-A
delegation representing the various
commercial organizations of eastern
and western cities waited upon Presi-
dent Roose 1elt yesterday to urge upon
him the negotiation Of a reciprocity
treaty with Canada.
The Hon. J. R. Leeson Of the Bos.
ton Chamber OF Commerce addressed
the President on behalf of the dele
cation. He spoke very briefly, explain
ing the object of the visit and impress
sing upon Mr.. Roosevelt the import.
ance and necessity of securing closer
trade relations with the Dominion of
Canada.
Mr.. Leeson told the President that
he and the Others for whom he was
speaking had not called to urge un-
favorable recommendation on the gen.
eral question of reciprocity, but sole
ly to assure the President of the in
tense and widespread sentiment
among all commercial bodies of the
country, that immediate action should
be taken toward bringing about reci-
ciprocal relations with the Canadian
people. MIR. Lesson spoke of the i'm
portance of this matter not only to
the commercial interest of the East,
but to the West and all sectors of the
country where the widest distribu.
tion OF products were both desirable
and necessary.
President Roosevelt assured the
delegation that he realized the signi-
fcance and the serious Importance of
their visit, and that he would take
the recommendation under the most
careful consideration.
