Gen. Smiths Instructions to Waller
Gave Power of Life and Death by
Inference.
Manila, March 24.-At the continual
tion to-day of the trial by court-mar-
tial of Maj. Littleton w. 7, Waller of
the Marine Corps, on the charge Of ex-
ecuting natives in Samar, Lieut.. John
A. Day of the Marine Corps, asked
permission to amend his evidence, say
ing it was an investigation 10 which
he was a party.
The judge advocate, Maj. Henry P.
Kingsbury of the Third Cavalry cross
examined Capt. David D. Porter of the
Marine Corps, who said it was his i'm
preston that Gen. Smith had given
Maj. Waller the power of life and death
over prisoners. Capt. Porter said that
while he was with Maj. Walters COM
mand he did not see any native COM
nit any act which he thought should
be punished with death. Capt. Porter
said Sergt. Quick was with him and
that the sergeant's report was conse-
quently gathered from what he had
heard from members of Lieut.. Will
Jams party.
Answering a member of the court
martial, Capt. Porter said that Gen.
Smith did not explicitly give Maj. Wal
Ter the power of life and death over
prisoners, but that he did by inference,
saying he wanted no prisoners and
that treachery should be punished with
death

BANKERS TELL OF BIG DEALS.
WAS THE PANIC OF MAY o FOUND
ED ON FALSE RUMORs

Charles Steele of j. p. Morgan ~
Co., Says Such Was the Case-The
Big Northern Syndicate Was Not
After Northern Pacific Common.
MIR. Steele Also Denies other
Things Concerning the Big Pool.
MIR. Morgan to Appear Tomorrow
Morning.
New York. March 24.-The hearing
in the suit commenced by Peter Power
in the United States Court for the dis
trict of Minnesota, for the purpose of
determining the standing before the
law of the purchase and holding of
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
stocks, by the Northern Securities
Company, was continued here to-day
Jacob H. Schiff of the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co.. was the first witness
Mr.. Schiff was one of a number of
financiers who in 1896, purchased $780,
100000 worth of Northern Pacific COM
mon at the time of the reorganization
of that road. Mr.. Schiff declined to
answer any questions regarding the
business of his firm. The first infor-
nation the witness had of the organ
ization of the Northern Securities
Company was when he read about 1t
in the newspapers.
Charles Steele of ]. P. Morgan &
Co., was called He said the firm or
gained a syndicate to raise $50, 000, 900
cash which was necessary in order to
buy control of the Burlington. The OBJ
ject of the purchase, he said, was TO
reap the profits that would result from
getting Eastern and Southeastern
connect )ns for the Burlington, there
being NAluable grain and timber lands
in the territory covered by the other
company.
Mr.. Steele was cross-examined by
Mr.. Stetson, counsel for J. P. Nor
gan & Co., with the purpose of dis
proving the claim of the other side
that the negotiations for Northern Pa
oitic common, the Burlington purchase,
the formation of the Northern Securi-
ties Company, and the placing of Mr..
Hartman and other representa- tives of
the Union Pacific interests on
the boards of the Burlington
and the Northern Pacific, were
all part Of a pooling scheme which
originated and matured during the
summer of 1901, previous to the forma-
Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Hill and Mr. Harri-
man and their associates as the prin-
cipal factors. Mr. Steele said there
was no prior understanding that after
they had acquired the Northern Pacific
stock from the Hartman interests. it
i was to be put into the Northern Sc
curities Company.
One point brought out on cross ex-
animation was that there never was
any control for the Northern Pacific
common. Witness said this contest did
not exist outside of the newspapers. 1t
was this contest, the existence of
which witness denied, that eliminated
in the panic of May last year.
An adjournment was taken until
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Morgan was
to have appeared before the examiner
to-day and had been subpoenaed for
that time, but he sent word through
Mr.. Stetson that the earliest time he
could conveniently appear was the time
to which the adjournment was taken

The GOEBEL LAW
kENTUCKY MEMBERS DISCUSS 1T
BEFORE THE HOUSE.
THE M0Ss-RHEA CONTEST
ENACTED TO CRUSH PUBLIC WILL
SAID MIR. DOREING.

RepubIican Member Charged That
It Made the Election Machinery of
the state an Adjunct of the DEM
ocratic OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Rhea
NIade an Able Presentation of His
case and Charged His Colleague
with Ignorance of the Laws of His
own state.
washington, March 24.-Mr. Boreing,
aepubIican of Kentucky injected an
attack upon the Goebel election law
into the discussion of the Moss Rhea
contested election case from the Third
Kentucky district, which again occu-
MED that attention of the House to-
dav. but Mr.. Rhea declined to be drawn
into an extended debate upon an issue
not directly involved in the case. He
contented himself with paying his res
pects to Mr.. Boreing, charging the lat
ter with ignorance of the law of his
own state. Mr.. Rhea made a strong
presentation of his side of the case,
hut had not concluded when the House
adjourned The vote will be taken
about 2 o'clock tomorrow. The other
speakers to-day were Mr.. Bowie of
Alabama, Mr.. Powers of Maine, and
Mr.. Fox of Mississippi.
Mr. Boreing denounced in severe
terms the Goebel election law, which
he declared was enacted to crush the
public will" and which, he said, was
used to turn out duly elected state Off
GERS and place in power defeated can
didates. He said it made the election
machinery of the state an adjunct of
the Democratic organization. Under it
the Republicans had been able to elect
only thirty members of the Legislature
out of 100 although Beckham had car
red the state by only $500 plurality.
Mr.. Rhea drew a round of applause
from his party colleagues, when he
declared that If he believed he had
been returned to Congress by fraud,
injustice or partisanship, he would
scorn to hold a seat in the House.
Referring to Mr.. Boreings attack upon
the elections in Kentucky, he said he
regretted that his colleague had played
the part he had.
Il shall not say anything unkind of
or about him." said Mr.. Rhea, NOR
against his political associates in Ken
lucky, and l will not be taken away
from the issue before the House further
than to say that his speech disclosed
the fact that he is both partisan and
ignorant Of the election laws of Ken
lucky"
Law Was older Than GoebeI.
Mr.. Rhea declared that the law
which lodged the final canvass of the
election returns in the General AS
sembly in Kentucky had existed ever
since the state had been a state, and
that if William Goebel had never
lived the law which was invoked. and
which settled the contest of 1899, would
have been the same.
Mr.. Rhea declared that the Repub-
leans controlled election machinery in
four out of the five election precincts
over which there We're disputes.

ton was begun by the Senate to-day

ADVICE TO A JUDGE.
witness in Gambling Case Says
Don't Play the Race.

From the Norristown Register
While testifying in the GIadwyn pool
cases, which resulted Saturday in the
acquittal of Henry Morris and James
Miller, Francis n. Stratton, who claims
to have lost a fortune in playing the
races, disturbed the courts solempity
by his manner of telling how it is done.
With the meekness of a shorn lamb
Stratton turned toward Judge Swartz
and said:
Your Honor you are a good man.
you never have played the races, have
you? That's right. Don't do 1t. You
would lose all your money"
Telling of his visits to GladwynA
Stratton said that along one end of the
building was large blackboard with
the names of various horses running at
New Orleans, Charleston and San
Francisco. He was wen acquainted
with the names of the various horses,
but Death, Little Jack Horner Admiral
Schley and Emily Kelley were his ia
vorites.
You see, Judge" said Stratton, 1T
is just as exciting when you are in a
pool room as if you were at the race
track. You have the names of the
horses and jockeys on the board right
in front of you. A man win call out
when the horses start. When they
reach the first quarter he will an
nounce. Death leads a neck. field well
punched Then you crowd closer to
the railing and wait until the horses
reach the half-mile post. The next an
nouncement is anxiously waited for,
and when the man calls out, Emily
Rellley is leading. the excitement Is in
tense. The horses enter the stretch.
That is when you become excited.
Judge. You imagine you can see your
favorite horse in front, and you COM
mence to think of cashing your ticket,
when suddenly, the man at the black
board calls out the name Of the win
ming horse and you then realize that
you have lost. Then, if you have the
money to play the next race you risk
double the amount lost on the first
race. Ii luck is not with you nine
times out of ten you will be compelled
to borrow the price for trolley fare
Tell us something about roulette
said Judge Swartz.
Never play #, Judge, said Stratton.
you have only one chance in thirty
five to win. 1t does not give the player
fair run for his money. I would adj
wise you and the members Of the jury

THE MAINTENANCE OF RATES.
'odge Grosscup Suggests That
courts of Equity May Become
Masters of the Situation.


Courts of Equity May Become
Masters of the Situation.
Chicago, March 24.-With the consent
OF the defendants, Judge Grosscup, in
the Federal Court to-day issued the
temporary restraining order asked for
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion against six railways entering Chi
cago. The order holds good until June
l, or until further orders from the
court.
The railroads affected by the in
junction are: The Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern. the Pittsburg, Gin
clnnat, Chicago and st. Louis, the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago.
the Michigan Central, the Illinois Cen
tral' the Chicago and Northwestern.
In entering the injunction Judge
Grosscup said:
Personally, 1 believe freight rates
should be as steady and equal as post
age rates, and that no discrimination
should be made. The person who turns
over freight to a common carrier for
transportation should be made to feel
that he will enjoy the same RACES as
every other shipper. But, the ques-
ton here is what power the govern
ment has to enforce the provisions of
this interstate commerce act. If his
application for an injunction can be
maintained, it will make the courts of
equity the masters of the maintenance
OF rates. Such a finding might also
! prove to be the eitalizing principle of
| the act.
If any departure from the estab-
nshed rates is made by any of these
| railroads during the tendency of these
orders the court will take great pains
to seek out the offender and provide
against further Violations
1t is believed that the railroads
named agreed not to contest the pc
tition for an injunction at this time in
| order that other roads eventually might
be brought into court and compelled to
live up to the provisions of the Sher-
man law and the Interstate commerce
act

COULD PAY BRITISH WAGES.
MOrgan's Ship Would Save Money
by Flying British Flag.

London, March 24.-Commenting or
the negotiations in America to pur-
chase British steamship lines, the Liv-
erpool Post says it doubts whether the
transfer of the latter is dependent on
passing of the United States ship sub
sidy bill, as alleged. 1t points that
J. P. Morgan will probably save more
in wages, etc, by continuing to sail
under the British flag than he would
gain by subsidies under the American
flag. The retention of the British flag
would also obviate any difficulty which
might arise with the British govern
ment in connection with mail contracts
and the claim on vessels in war time.
