The Crimes of Former Private of fb.
41St Infantry

George A. Raymond, an American. for
merly private in the 41st Volunteer In
fartry, was tried by military commission
in the Philippines some months ago on a
triple charge of murder rape and robbery
and sentenced to be hanged The records
In this, an unusual case of depravity have
just been received at the War Depart
ment
Upon the muster out of the 41st RAYMOND
betook himself to the province of Pam
panga and endeavored to organize a band
of outlaws among his eX-comrades On
the Ith of last May. while he was riding
along road with Henry Bohn, who had
also been private in the 41st Infantry
and with whom he assumed to be on friend
ly relations, Raymond treacherously turned
on his companion and killed him with shots
from his revolver, and then proceeded to
empty the dead mans pockets. Two days
afterward, in company with Ulrich F.
Rodgers and George l.. Muhn, ex-privates
of the 41st Raymond garbed in the uni
form of a United States army officer, EN-
tered the premises of a peaceful native and
robbed him of saddles and brides and three
horses On the might of May RAYMOND

sentence of death General Chaffee said:
THE depravity and dangerous criminal pro-
pensities of accused, involving in the short
space of three days the robbery of a help
less native, the licentious violation of a
respectable girl and the trea cherous assas-
sination of a comrade from motives of pure
avariciousness, can call for but one fitting
penalty.

RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA
REPRESENTATIVE DAyEY OPPOSED
To ANY SUCH TREATY.
He Thinks 1t UngraciOus in Her to
Ask Concessisns of This Kind
at This Time.

The possibility of the negotiation of a reci-
procity treaty with Cuba. whereby her
sugar and tobacco product shall come into
the United States free of duty, is one of the
questions wfficn~ seensato be agitating the
minds of representatives and senator's from
certain sections of this country where beet
and cane sugar and tobacco are being raised
in commercial quantities. 1t is argued en-
Enthusiastically by those who oppose such a
treaty that but two interests could be ad-
vanced by it's negotiation. These are the
American sugar trust and Cuba herself In
opposition to such a policy would be aligned
the representatives of the middle west where
the beet sugar industry is fast developing
into Importance; the south, and particularly
the state of Louisiana, where cane sugar is
raised, and in the New England states, as
well as some of the southern state, where
the tobacco-raising industry is being given
the attention of experts with phenomenal
success
Representative Davey's Views.
With these ideas In mind, Representative
r. c. Davey of New Orleans, who was in
the city today, expressed himself most posi-
lively against acceding anything further to
Cuba in the way of commercial advantages.
ITO give Cuba free markets in this coun-
try he said, with her wonderful natural
resources. would mean the absolute runa-
tlon of the entire sugar and tobacco indus
try of this country, as we'll as greatly Grip
pie the fruit-growing industry and cut Into
the profits of vegetable raising. As rep
resentative l consider my duty n,t alone to
my own state, but to the entire country.
and do not hesitate to say that I will op-
pose in every way any measure to take the
tariff from Cuban products If this We're
done it would mean In the near future the
free entry into this country of toe product
Of the entire West Indies. There would b.
no excuse for not giving Jamaica or the
Danish West Indies the same privileges,
and this would, without any doubt. entirely
ruin the entire sugar, tobacco fruit and
vegetable industries OF the country.
Where any proposition of this kind could
come from / am unable to see. 1t would
seem that with the blood and treasure the
United States has expended tn behalf of
Cuba it would be ungracious her to ask,
at least at this time, for commercial con-
cessions and advantages. when II is appar
ent that such advantages would moan the
crippling of our own home industries.
Representative Davey said he realized
that the House could have nothing officially
to do with a reciprocity treaty, but its
members could make their views known in
dividually to senators, and he believed if
there was a serious intention on the part
of those interested to secure advantages for
Cuba it would be frustrated decidedly and
emphatically.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 19.-The
weather could not be finer for the opening
of the state campaign by the republicans at
Delaware today, but the attendance is not
what the leaders expected it would be.
This being the nearest large city, was nat
urally looked to to supply the bulk of the
visitors. Train service for 5000 was pro-
vided, but less than 100 went. The Hook
ing Valley railroad brought in a special
train from the south this morning with
seven cars intended to pick up the Della
ware traffic along the way, but carried, all
told, forty people.
AT Delaware the local and visiting clubs,
reception committees and their bands made
lively scene through the morning hours.
All that they could do to add enthusiasm to
the occasion and to drive general apathy
from the field was done
Senators Hanna and Foraker and Gov
ernor Nash did not come in the same train
and so the reception of distinguished guests
was drawn out through the whole forenoon.
Senator Fairbanks was the only promi-
nent republican from outside the state
present. The speaking began at 1 pm.
The weather permitted an outdoor meet
ing. In an angle of the walls of Grey
Chapel, one of the buildings of Wesleyan
University, the speakers stand was placed.

incidentally He Guys Them on Their
Stupid Work.
THEY COULD NOT CATCH HIM

NEW YORK. October 19.-George Ar
mtage. the missing messenger of the Bank
of New Amsterdam, walked into the ten
derloin police station today and gave him
self up. He declined TO make any state
ment as 20 the missing funds of the bank,
amounting to $1,000.
Armitage was rashionably dressed and
did not seem disturbed by his position.
Detectives tried to get him to make
statement. but he declined to discuss his
case.
It's no use. sergeant" he said, you
can't pump me. l have decided to say
nothing until I see my lawyer and maybe
1 won't say anything then"
Armitage only had $i1.4O on him when ar
rested. He was the messenger of the Bank
of New Amsterdam, and after he disappear
ed drafts and collections representing many
thousands of dollars were returned to the
bank by mysterious colored women who
has not yet been found by the police. This
incident gave rise to theory of foul play,
which the police later discredited Armi-
tage's accounts, according to the bank Of
fcials. show shortage of $500. of which
sum $1,000 is covered by a fidelity bond.
Guyed the Police.
Before Armitage was locked up he turned
to the police reporters and boastfully said:

York last night and saw East Lynne
Between the acts l went out with a friend
and was introduced to two detectives of
the Liberty avenue station. l had a long
talk with them on various subjects After a
Whi4e the conversation drifted to the Armi-
taee case and we spoke about it for sew
eral minutes. Neither of the policemen
seemed to have the slightest suspicion of
me. though they must have been fur
nished with description of me.
No one else that I met seemed to know me-
Why. talked with the sergeant at the Both
street station before he suspected my iden-
tity. l had to tell him fatty who l was
before he would take me into custody"
Tells Remarkable story.
Armitage subsequently made a remark
able confession. which sent the police sour
rying after four supposed accompIices who
as he alleged. had in turn robbed the dis
honest bank messenger of practically all
the money he had stolen. Arnitage said
that he had met a woman whom he knew
only as Marie at ruadhouse which they
both frequented- She was friend of the
piano player in the resort. the wife Of the
piano player and a viOlinist who also fur
nlShed music in the place, and Armitage,
introduced TO the party by Marie became
friendly with all during a months inti-
macy. Armitage said that after he stole the
money he got drunk and was unable to re
turn the checks. Marie and the wife of the
piano player agreed to do it for him. and
taking the bank wallet to Brooklyn hired
a negro woman to return it to the bank.
Armitage said that as the woman left him
Marie suggested that she had better take
cndFSe OF the stolen money for safety.
Armitage said he gave up the money and
the women never came back 1t is beIiey-
ed that the police have the names of the
entire party and Will arrest all four.

The State Department has been informed
by United States Consul Hill at Amsterdam
that the project of draining the Zuider Zee
and adding new and fertile land to the
kingdom Of the Netherlands has been with
drawn from the states general by the new
ministry. and the matter has thus been
disposed Of. probably for long period. Mr..
Hill says that the state of the Dutch
budget renders such an undertaking at this
time inadvisable, and moreover the fall in
