JUDGE REFUSES TO
 ORDER ACQUITTAL
MoLINEUx's ATTORNEYS ASK THAT JUSTICE LAMBERT DIRECT JURY TO FREE DEFENDANT, AS GUILT IS NOT PROVEN.

New York, October 30.-Counsel for the defense in the Molineux trial moved to- day that the court direct the jury to acquit the defendant on the ground that the evidence was insufficient. Judge Lambert denied the motion Former Governor Black, in moving Molineux's acquittal, said the evidence given was not sufficient to warrant a conviction; that there was no evidence that the de- fendant had ever had in his possession cyanide of mercury ore the bottle-holder in which the poison was sent; that he did not mail the poison package; that there was no proof whatever connecting the defendant with the crime charged.
 At the close of Governor Blacks argu- ment. Justice Lambert said:
 'I will deny the motion for the present and will hear all the evidence"
 Mir. Black then asked the court to per- init him to make his opening address to the jury tomorrow, and Justice Lambert acquiesced, declaring court adjourned until tomorrow. After the adjournment. MT. Black said there was a strong likeli- hood that Md1ineux will take the stand in his own behalf.

PRESIDENT COMMUTES
 SENTENCE OF AN INDIAN
Was Convicted of Murderng Several of His Race Believing Them to be WtcheS-Was a Good Man ExceptHe Had
 Habit of Getting Drunk, Says the President

Washington. October SO.-The Presi- dent has commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence pronounced upon Solomon Hotena, convicted in the eastern district of Texas, of murder in Indian Territory in 1902. In his report to the President, Attorney General Knox says:
 'sThe petitioner is well educated in his own tongue and in the English language. He has beensa lawyer, judge, Presby- terian minister and man of wealth and high standing among his people. It is also shown that he was very charitable and took an active part in all public mat ters looking toward the education and well being of members of his tribe. It Is shown that for many years ne had been in the habit of getting drunk, but that aside from this, his life has always been exemplary. It appears that a short time before the murder he lost by death sev- eral children in rapid succession and be- lieving in witches and witchcraft, he con- ceived the idea that certain persons whom he believed to be witches were re- sponsible.

Negotiations Are On for Peaceful Set

Panama. Colombia, October 30.-There is reason to believe that the Colombian revolution will end with or no ploodshed
 Confirmation from a reliable source has been received here that Gen Vargas Santos, the military director of the revo- lutionists has been negotiating a treaty of peace in Costa Rica with represen- tative of the Colombian government.
 Last week General Vargas-Santos sent a cable message to Governor Salazar asking leave to come here to confer with the governor personally. Today Vargas Santos repeated this request and Cover nor Salazar replied by cable telling him to come. Much is expected from the ap- preaching conference between these two men. It is also fact that last Tuesday the revolutionary general, Herrera sent communication to Governor Salazar in- sisting upon a conference with .he gov ernor of Panama and saying that from it he believed peace would result. This message was received by Governor Sala- gar yesterday. He said that he was ready to meet General Herrera.

COMBINATION OF
 BEEF INTERESTS
IT IS PROPOSED TO EFFECT A MERGER OF ALL THE STOCK YARDS, WHICH WILL GIVE A CAPITAL OF $1oo,ooo,oo

Chicago, October 20.-The Record-Her- aid tomorrow will say:
 Two big combinations are planned by beef interests. The packers will com bineA first and then effect a merger of all the stock yards in the country.
 With the exception of the Chicago stock yards, which are controlled in Bos- ton, all the properties involved are own ed and controlled by the owners of the principal beef packing plants. The diff ferent yards that will probably be in- cluded in the deal, aside from the Chi cago yards. are those at Kansas City, East St. Louis, St. Joseph, Mo; Fort Worth. Tex; South Omaha and Sioux City.
 While the control of the Chicago yards is held in Boston, the Chicago packers have large holdings of the stock also, and their recommendations would un- doubtedly have great weight with the eastern capitalists.
 The plan for consolidating the stock yards has not yet progressed to the point of capital required, being now only in the controversial stage. It would un- doubtedly run close up to s100,0 600, ex- elusive of the amount required for the original packing companies combina- tion, which Is said to be $500 000, 000

more or less under the influence of liquor, he started out with the express intention of killing certian persons whom he thought witches. He first went to the house of Vina Coleman, an Indian wo- man, for whose murder he now stands convicted. It appears that this woman was related to him and that he had all ways been on most friendly terms with her. He accused her of being a witch and shot her to death with a shot gun, at the same time wounding a small child. At the same time he shot and badly wounded a 15-year-old boy. He thereupon mounted his horse and proceeded to the home of a man whom he accusued of be- ing a witch and shot him to death. He then proceeded to another house and killed another woman whom he accused of being a witch. He was tried for the killing of the last two persons and ac- quilted on the grounds of insanity
 'I have covered the testimony care fully in this case and may say absolute ly no rational motive is shown for the killing of these people by the petitioner. It seems to be clearly established that the petitioner killed them because of his deluded opinion that they were witches
