And the Tax Commissioners, also, how much have

President Feitner, when asked about the inquiry

BOSSCHIETER TRIAL TOMORROW.
EXTRA OFFICERS SWORN IN TO GUARD THE
PRISONERS


Paterson, N J.. jan 12.-Mrs. Bosschieter, step
mother OF Jennie Bosschieter. to-day announced
that she would attend the trial of the four men
-ccused OF the murder. The trial will begin on
Monday. The father It is said, never mentions
his daughters name, and refuses to talk about the
case.
From the attitude OF John J. Harding. Kerr's
counsel II appears that he intends to fight the
case according 10 the law. and not to ask for any
favors because of confession after repentance.
II is said effort will be made to show that
Jennie Bosschieter rendered insensible from
absnthe by one Of the accused men once before the
time she met death. The prominence Of the names
that may be dragged into the trial has the whole
town excited and talking.
rumor was circulated that counsel for the de-
fence would demand the arrest OF August Soul
thorpe, the hackrnan who drove the four men and
the girl the night OF the murder At the time
of the arrest OF McAllster, Kerr Death and Camp
bell the hackman was also taken into custody, but
allowed to go under $500 bail. Prosecutor En-
ley said he had heard nothing about the reported
intention TO order Sculthorpe's arrest
Sheriff Sturr to-day swore in a number OF extra
officers to guard the four prisoners. This Is merely
precaution- There is no real ground for sup
posing that any attempt at violence Will be made
against the accused men.

button from the pen of williams Carlton
Fox of the Bureau of American Repub-
lies, on the life of Simon Bolivar, the man
who freed five republics from the yoke Of
Spain. Speaking of Bolvar's youthful
days, passed as a law student in Madrid,
where he was, practically, courtier, the
writer tells this charming little story:
In this. connection an interesting story
is told of his being engaged, on one &C.

TROOPS WILL STAY AWHILE
LONGER.

When the Cuban Constitutional Con-
vention adopted the Plat amendment
with certain explanatory additions the
other day one of the leading papers of
Havana, La Discussion, said: NOW for
immediate independence" Our dispatches
yesterday stated that there was great
disappointment in Havana because the
President and his cabinet refused to ac-
eept the constitution which the conven-
ton had adopted.
The disappointment was natural, but
| not reasonable. The convention must
have known that the President and cabl-
net would not undertake to modify the
action of Congress. The Plat amendment
was enacted by Congress, and there is no
authority outside of that body to change
1t. When the convention added an ex
PLANTATION to the amendment, giving it an
Interpretation perhaps not intended by
Congress, 1t must have doubted that its
work would not be approved.
1t may be said that the majority could
not have secured the adoption of the
amendment in any other way than by
alLhcHlNB 10 II an cApidHdLiOh VI atS
meaning-the explanation being, In sub
stance, what Secretary Root had said
was its meaning when the committee APP
pointed by the convention visited Wash
ington. That may be so, but 1t doesn't
follow, for that reason, that the President
and his cabinet should overstep their au-
thority Congress said that the President
might do certain things when the amend
ment was accepted. 1t has not been ac-
cepted yet. 1t has been accepted only
on condition that it means what the con-
ventfon says 1t means.
There does not seem to be any doubt
in Washington that the amendment will
be accepted The longer its acceptance is
delayed the longer the independence Of
the island VIII be delayed. 1t is not prob
able that Congress win modify the
amendment In the least. Indeed, If II
should have a chance to consider 1t again
the probability is 1t would add some
things to 1t that would be less acceptable
to the Cubans than it is in its present
shape. II the Cubans are wise, therefore
they will not undertake to get Congress
TO change it.

the secret amusement of the guests he
