HE KILLED THE DOCTOR
VERDICT OF NEWTON, IOWA. JUR,
Tyler, the Negro, Sentenced to Life
Term at One of State PEN
itentiaries.

Special to The Journal.
Newton, Iowa. Jan. 3.-The Jury in the
trial of Chester Tyler, negro, for the
murder Of DR.. Failor last September,
brought in a verdict shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon, finding the
defendant guilty of murder in the first
degree and fixing the penalty at impris-
onment at hard labor for life. Tyler re-
ceived the verdict with the same indiffer-
ence that has characterized his behavior
during the trial. The verdict was some
what unexpected, as it was thought the
evidence was hardly strong enough to se-
cure conviction. So confident were the
lawyers for the defense that they SUBJ
mitted the case without Offering amy 49,
nesses.
On the night Of Sept. 12 last, DR.. Failor
was called from his daughters home in
this city on a professional visit. On his
return he was struck down in lonely
part Of the city and his gold watch and
chain stolen, together with small
amount Of money. The verdict gives gem
eral satisfaction hers. The case ywiu -.
appealed.

Members of the Minnesota delegation in
congress say very frankly that they are
not considering the propriety of intro
ducing any bill to reach the Northern
Securities company. Said member OF
the delegation to-day:
: It is too late for any such bill to be- ehec-
tive even it it were to become law. Long
before. it could go into effect the merger
would be complete, and since the law could
not be retroactive no good could come from
it, SO far as the present case is concerned.
Members of the delegation with whom have
talked hope Attorney General Douglas and
his associates will be able to induce the
department of justice at to-day's conference
to take up the case under the Sherman anti
trust law. If that law does not reach ex-
listing conditions it should be amended for
the sake Of the future.
VIII Give Knox Every Chance.
1t is believed that the Minnesota men
at to-day's conference will give Mr.. Knox
an opportunity to make any offers OF as
sistance that may BE possible under the
existing laws, and even If no such Of
fers are made, it is reasonably certain
that the conference will cover the merger
ground carefully and result In bringing
out any information that the government
has which will aid the present suit.
There is no mistak1ng the presidents
interest IN the CASE Mr. IhnOx was sent
for to go to the White House at 10 this
morning, and while nothing definite is
known as to what the president wanted,
it is believed he wanted to emphasize the
statements made in the Mum letter of
introduction and make sure that the de-
partment of justice, in case 1t is decided
that there is ne way in which the govern
ment can at present give direct aid, offers
the Minnesota men the full benefit gifts
1,,,o ,1o3o Friendly al
It would be easy to overestimate the
significance of to-day's conference, but
that it will be Of an important character
lis generally admitted. 1t is entirely pos
sible that Messrs. Douglas, Wilson and
Mum may not feel warranted In dis
cussing 1t with the newspaper men.
Messrs. Mum and Wilson will start for
home tomorrow night

General Manager T. F. Cole, of the
United States Steel corporation arrived

Poultney Bigelow Says They

HE KNOWS THEM BOTH
And Says Resemblance Is Marked
Along Many Lines.
VIGOROUS VIEW ON NAVAL AFFAIR
Mr.. BiEelOw Says Busy Women OF
OfhcialdOm Were to
Blame.

"Place a crown upon the head Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and you have Billy Hohen-
zollern. The points Of contact between
the two men are wonderful"
That statement was made this morning
by Poultney Bigelow, war correspondent,
historian and student. Mr.. Bigelow ar
rived in Minneapolis this morning, and
will lecture tonight at the university He
is a close personal friend both of the
president and of Emperor Wilhelm, and
he has a strong admiration for both men,
OF much the same temperament and dis
position, Mr.. Bigelow says that even the
personal characteristics of the two are
very similar. Moreover, in commenting
upon the similarity, he added that he
knew of nc government in Europe o-day
marked by such strong Capitalization as
now exists at Washington. In other
words, Mr.: Bigelow believes that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has more real power. that
he is more the government, than even the
Emperor of Germany himself, who has
come to be known as one of the most
autocratic rulers of civilization.
The Naval Controversy,
Speaking of the. Sampson Schley con-
troversy, Mr.. Bigelow said that it was
the result of back-stairs intrigue, and
that the women of official Washington had
been responsible for it, Said he: ..
II have no opinion regarding the merits
OF the case. That is not my business.
Nh business is to write history; and look
ing at the matter from the historians
standpoint of hundred years hence. I
cannot but regret the fact that the two
heroes of the Spanish American war are
in disgrace. Schley and Dewey; both are
in disgrace. while the men who were re-

takes of that war are still>in positions of

itself. In common parlance, he delivered
the goods; and what happened to him {?
Every one knows the answer to that.
Dewey came home from the Philippines
and an ovation was given to him by his
countrymen. Then he was ordered to
Washington and has been kept there
ever since as hgurehead He should
have been In command in China b,,t tho

must be very distasteful to man of his

you never hear anything about them I
cannot conceive of a more courageous

reward.

MORRIS Representative Morris
proposed amendment to
CANAL the Nicaragua canal bill,
to give the president au-
PLAN. thority to selectthe route
for the canal, meets with
considerable favor in the house generally,
and among Minnesotans particularly.
Representative Fletcher who yesterday
said he would not vote for the Nfcaraguan
bill, said to-day that he would vote for
Morris amendment, and possibly for the
bill with that in. Represent ative Eddy
said he would vote for his colleagues
proposition because he thought if the
United States can acquire a partially COM
pleted project at slight cost, the presi-
dent ought to be allowed to take that
route. Representative McCleary wants en-
hghtenment on several points, partieu-
larry relating to the safety Of the canal
from possible enemies. He will probably
vote for the amendment, too.
In the debate on the bill in the house
to-day Mr. Morris said 1t. was his desire
to insure the selection of the best route.
Heretofore he believed the Panama propo-
sition had been used solely for delay but
since reading the commissions report
he was unable to reach conclusion as to
which was the better route. Before en-
barking upon an expenditure of 5000, 000,-
600 he thought experts should consider
the recent offer of the Panama company.
Representative Morris speech WAS the
first delivered by a northwestern member
in this congress. He occupied the floor
only twenty minutes, and during that
time was accorded close attention by
members on both sides of the chamber.
