CHANGES ITS FRONT.
Attorney General Says Supreme
Court Has Reversed Itself.

Attorney General GODDARD, after reading
the opinion handed down by the supreme
court in the American Book company
case yesterday, stated that the court had
reversed the decision it made in the To-
peka Water company case.
E"The opinion of the supreme court in
this American Book company case Is
along the line that held when first came
into Office said Mr.. GODDARD sThen the
supreme court reversed me in the Topeka
Water company case. and Ihaves since been
holding the other way. Now it has gone
back to my original posftion."
Mr.. GODDARD left last night for California
and will not return until some time in
September. Secretary of State Clark has
gone to New York and will be gone ten
days. AS they are two of the three mem-
bers of the charter board it would appear
that the American Book company cannot
secure permission to do business in Kan
sas for some time at least. 1t is doubtful
if Secretary Clark and Bank Commission
er Albaugh would pass upon the applica-
ton until Mr.. GODDARD returns home SO
as to have legal advice upon the matter.
It is possible, however. that the Ameri-
can Book company will arrange to give
bond and will try to carry the quo war
ranto case into the United States supreme
court on the question that the company Is
engaged in Interstate commerce and can
not be shut out of the state of Kansas.

TOOK HER NECKLACE.
Treasury Agents Accuse a Tour
ist of Smuggling.

New York. July 23.-As a prominent
young society woman of Philadelphia
stepped from the steamship Kron Prinz
Wilhelm on her arrival here and greeted
her husband waiting on the pier, agents
of the treasury department interrupted
their conversation and took from the wo-
man pearl necklace reported to be worth
$4,000, which she had purchased in Paris
and omitted from her declaration.
A special treasury agent had been in
Paris and learned of the purchase of the
necklace He determined to return to
New York on the same steamship with
the purchaser. He noticed that she had
made no mention of the gems in her dec
laratlon to the customs officers. He re-
mained nearby at the pier and after the
traveller had greeted her husband he. with
another agent, asked the couple to re-
turn to their state room. He asked for
the necklace and the woman who wore
it around her neck, under the dress collar,
handed the pearls over.
The woman said she had no intention of
evading payment, but wished to consult
her husband about the purchase before
declaring it to the customs officials.

Chicago, July 23.-American finan-
ciers are planning an international
bank with headquarters in New York
and branches in Chicago, San Fran
cisco, City of Mexico. Havana, Rio ia
neiro and Ruenos Ayres, according to
President w. H. Hunt of the Mexican
Trust Company bank, who is in Chi
cago on his way to New York. says tbs
Chronicle. The institution will be
known as the First International Bank
of North America Its capital will be
$5.0O0, 600 The nucleus of this enterprise
Is already in existence under the name
Of the Mexican Trust Company bank,
which has been in operation in the City
of Mexico for one year.
When it was established the Mexican
Trust Company bank was capitalized
at 81 ,000, 900. This capital was recently
increased to $5,O00,00 which, it is
thought, is sufficient for the transaction
of business in the four Latin-American
republics. The bank already has sew
eral branches in the Mexican republic.

STRUCK THE POLICE.
Renewed Disturbances Account
Of Religious Orders Law.

Paris, July 23.-There is every pros
pect of fresh disturbances today. as a
sequel to yesterdays clerical outbreaks
as protests against the governments
enforcement of the law against unau-
thorized congregations. 1t now appears
that three hundred persons were ar
rested and numerous prosecutions are
pending, though the Majority of the
prisoners were released. Fresh meet
ings to protest in favor of the religious
orders are expected to be held today
while the radical and socialist papers
are urging the Republicans to meet at
the Pantheon as a counter demonstra-
ton.
Several hundred persons, chiefly wo-
men and children, created a demonstra-
ton today in front of church in the
Ternes Quarter, while some expelled
sisters were departing. The police in
terfered and several of the crowd struck
them with sticks. Among those ar
rested were Deputies Pagliesi, Cont and
Archdeacon. They were subsequently
released.

CARMEN ARE HAPPY.
Santa Fe Adopts Their Schedule
as Requested.

Superintendent of Motive Power Geo.
r. Henderson returned this morning
from Chicago, and announced that the
schedule of wages proposed by the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen has
been approved substantially as present
ed by the carmen. This means that the
demand of the carmen for an increase
in wages has been allowed.
Mr.. Henderson refused to state the
exact amount of the raise which the
carmen will get. He said, however, that
he was certain that the carmen would
be satisfied, and that there would be no
further difficulty in arranging the mat
ter. The committee representing the
carmen will have meeting with Mr..
Henderson today, at which time Mr..
Henderson.s report will be presented.
While those in a position to know re-
fuse to make positive statements, it is
understood that the increase in wages
applies only to certain towns on the
Santa Fe. and that in some cases il
amounts to as much as 25 cents day.

WHO KILLED HIM :?
Private Detective Testifies in
Latimer Murder Case.
Says He Was Employed by De-
ceased to Watch Tuthill.

New York, July 23.-Harry J. Parker,
an insurance adjuster. who worked also
as a private detective, was the first wit
ness today in the coroner's investigation
of the shooting of A. c. Latimer in his
home in Brooklyn on the morning of
July 2. Parker testified that on May l.
this year, Latimer visited him and en-
ployed him.
why did Albert c. Latimer visit
you?" asked District Attorney Clarke.
He told me he wanted to get evil
dence against his wife for unfaifhf'l1-
ness with man whose name was
given by Mr.. Latimer as Tuthill,'' Par
ker replied. "On May Of this year,
went with Mr.. Latimer to Tuthill's res
idence on Vanderbilt avenue, and there
l was told by Mr.. Latimer that it was
Tuthill's house and 1 was to keep a
watch on it and report on Tuthill's
movements to him. On May 4, I saw
Tuthill go to Latimer's house at about
$50 s O'Clock. Latimer was accus-
toned to reach home as late as $3.50 or
Z o'clock
Parker testified that on one occasion
Tuthill went to see Mrs. Latimer at her
home and remained there until the mid
die of the afternoon.
Before Parker left the stand District
Attorney Clarke made the following
statement:
II have had no conversation with this
witness, but understand that he can
testify that the deceased said to him
that in case of his death he would know
who killed him, mentioning the names
of two persons. Now this is hearsa y
and not admissible under the laws of
evidence. It seems to me that if this
declaration is to be introduced now it
would be illegal 'censurable and cruel;
as far as I am concerned do not pro-
pose asking this man to make that dec
1aration."
Maggie Fitzgerald, servant employ
ed in house near Latimer's said that
after the shooting she saw man she
thought was Latimer go to a window
and call for help. This witness testified
also that about the time the police ar
rived she saw a man on the roof of the
Latimer house.
The case was given to the jury which
brought in verdict declaring that
Latimer was killed by pistol shot
wound. No accusation against any one
was made by the jury.

MANY HEADS BROKEN.
Italian Mob and Police Battle in
New York Streets.

New York July 23.-Many heads were
broken by the police in dispensing a
crowd of 1000 men and boys in Have
meyer street, Williamsburg. Stones
were thrown and shots were fired and
Felix Elmer, the innocent cause of the
whole disturbance, was taken to
hospital with fractured skull A few
days ago an Italian was fatally injured
in a fight and meeting was held at
which it had been decided by those
present that he had been dubbed to
death by the police.
Felix Elmer, a collector, happened
along about this time and called next
door. The payment of his bill was re-
fused and he was thrown into the street.
The police were called and in a few
minutes a general fight was in pro-
gress. The police reserves were sent
for. By the time they arrived a crowd
of 1000 men, women and children filed
the street and the police charged then.
Many shots were fired, but the bullets
struck no one, although many stones
and clubs did execution on unprotected
heads.

KING TO CRUISE.
Edwards Yacht Will Take a
Short Trip Tomorrow.
He Spent the Forenoon In q
Chair on Deck.
is CLOSELY WATCHED.
Doctors Still Dictate What He
Shall Eat.
Proposed Visit Of Emperor Will
liam Strictly Private.

London, July 23.-King Edward today
enjoyed the improved weather at Cowes,
Isle of Wight. He spent the forenoon
in an invalid chair on the open deck.
He is still under the most strict super
vision. The patients diet menu is
signed daily by one or the other of the
royal physicians before it is submitted
to the king who submits good naturedly
to the somewhat severe regime. There
is every indication of his majesty's con-
tinued progress toward complete con-
valescence. Weather permitting the
royal yacht will probably go on short
cruise tomorrow.
Truth says that Emperor William S
visit to King Edward will be brief and
strictly private, the German emperor
sailing from Kiel on the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern August and remaining
at Cowes through regatta week when
the schooner-yacht Meteor III will COM
pete for the Kings cup.
