trial of Emile A. Meysenburg, a mem
Der of the House of Delegates. on the
charge of bribery, was resumed in
Judge Douglas court to-day, Philip
Stock, a brewer, said that he was en-
ployed by the Suburban Railway Com
pany to get it's franchise bill through

Stock said that he and Charles
Kraft, a member of the Municipal AS

burg, and Kratz told Stock that Mey-
senburg was sore" because the Kin
lech Telephone Company had frozen
him out of the ST. Louis Electric Con-

witness said, had two hundred shares
of the stock of the latter company and
said that he wanted to get value re-

will"
Circuit Attorney Folk, in answering
an objection of Attorney F. w. Leh-
man for the defense to a question
asked, said:
II propose to show that Mr.. Kratz,
who was the go between with Stock
and Mysenburg, went to Phil Stock and
demanded $4,000 to pass the suburban
bill.
"Mr. Stock declared that this was
too much and the amount was reduced
to $4,000.
This money was for Mr.. Kratz to
be used among his associates to pass
the franchise measure. 1t was taken
to the Mississippi Valley Trust Com

box. To this box one key was handed
to Phil Stock and another to Mr..
Brinkmeyer, who afterwards delivered
it to Kratz."
Evidence was given by several wit
nesses corroborative of Stocks testi-
mony.

Opposition Republicans Offer Com-
promise on Cuban Reciprocity.

Washington. March 25.--President
Roosevelt again took up the Cuban re-
ciprocity question to-day with a view
of securing unanimity of action in the
House of Representatives. Among his
callers was Representative Long of
Kansas, a member of the Ways and
Means Committee, who was in charge
of the tactical movements in behalf of
the reciprocity plan. Later Mr.. Long
conferred with Representative Morris
of Minnesota, who presented IN detail
the amendment which the opposition is
supporting, to abolish the differential
on refined sugar. At present refined
sugar pays $1.95 per 100; unrefined. ST.
s25. BY taking off the differAntial, all
sugars would pay the uniform rate OF
$l.S25 per hundred. The present sug-
gestion Is that modification OF the
Payne bill, so as to make this change
in the differential, would probably
bring about an agreement. The Ways
and Means Committee are understood
TO be giving this proposition respectful
consideration

CONFERRED AGAIN ON CUBA.
President Convinced That Greater
Concessions Must BE Given.

Washington. March 25.-Another con-
ference was held at the White House
tonight on the subject of Cuban re-
ciprocity and was participated in by
the President and the House leaders,
including Chairman Payne and Messrs.
Dalzell and Long of Kansas, of the
Ways and Means Committee, and Mr.
Cannon. the chairman of the Repub-
lican caucus. 1t is believed that the
proposition for the repeal of the diff
ferental on refined sugar came up for
discussion tonight, but that it was dis
missed for the reason, as stated by one
of those present, that it might open up
the way for various amendments to
the tariff law. Since the arrival In
Washington of Gen. Wood and Presi-
dent-elect Palma, the President has re-
ceived great deal of additional In
formation regarding affairs in Cuba
and is strengthened in his belief that
greater concessions than that proposed
by the Ways and Means Committee
bill should be given Cuba for a time.

INTERSCgOLASTIC LEAGUE

meeting OF the Interscholastic league

sentatives from six OF the high schools in
the vicinity. After some advice from the
manager Of the Brown University Hockey

meet TO arrange a schedule next Tuesday
afternoon. Delegates from the Attleboro
high school spoke OF their desire to en-
ter the league. and they were invited TO
present a written application for member
ship.
The football game appointed between
East Providence and Pawtucket for last
Saturday was declared forfeited to Paw
tucket owing to the refusal OF East
Providence to carry out the vote of the
league.
II was voted by the league that East
Providence is hereby given permission TO
withdraw from the league. OF to show on
or before the next meeting why action
should not be taken dropping them from
membership In the league" The league
was forced to this action because of the
repeated assertions from that school of
unfairness and injustice. and because of
public statements from them grossly
misrepresenting the action OF the league.
and finally because the ungentlemanly
and unsportsmanlike conduct OF East
Providence in athletic contests had been
OF such frequent occurrence as to render
this school an undesirable member OF the
league.
The championship for the football sea-
son was awarded to the Pawtucket high
school.

PICKED TEAM.

An effort to awaken an interest In
bowling contests Is being made by the
Volunteer fremen of Pawtuxet and at a
recent meeting steps to that end were
taken.
A committee consisting OF Ollie Mar
shall, p. j. Cook and Wallace Andrews
was appointed to arrange for both BOWL
ing and pool tournaments and work up
interest In those games.
In previous winters the cue alley which
the fremen use I'm place of regular
bowling alley has been the scene OF hot
contests and series of contests. The
prizes In these events were usually sup
per for the players. The movement this
time is to encourage the skill OF the play
ers and arrange for more lasting prize
than a supper.
The pool tourney is rather a new de-
parture for this company, but as that
game has an equal number OF devotees
with the alleys a series of that should
attract as much interest as bowling.
There are some extremely skillful play
ere OF both games enrolled In the COM
pany. and when the committee has COM
pleted it's arrangements some warm play
Ing is expected.
The Lakewood Fire company Is also
possessor OF a good cue alley. and II Is
possible that the committee may arrange
FOR a series of games between picked
teams OF each company to increase the
interest, although II has not been decided
definitely as yet
