Thinks the Havana Court Was Unfair
and that There Should BE a New
Trial in This Country.
APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT
WHO PROBABLY WILL NOT INTER-
FERE WITH CUBAN JUSTICE.
Supreme Court at Havana Asked to
Admit RathbOne to BaiI-Objection
Made by the Fiscal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Senator Han
ma is taking a vigorous interest in the ef-
forts to secure an investigation of the trial
which secured the conviction of E. G. Rath-
bone. He frankly doubts the fairness of
the Havana court which convicted Rath-
bone, and seeks to have the case
brought to a United States court The
statement that he has asked the Presi-
dent to pardon Rathbone is beyond the
facts. What he seeks from the President
is to secure trial in the United States
He has even discussed with his feIlow-sen-
ators the advisability of having legislation
which will secure a trial in this country.
He does not hesitate to say that he be-
lieves in the honesty of Rathbone and that
this will not be shaken by the verdict of
Cuban court and that he will do all that he
can to secure a trial in an American
court
The report was current this evening.
based on information received by a Span
ish news agency, that Edgar P Thomp-
son. cashier of the Spanish postoffice. con-
victed of irregularities. had been pardoned
on a general army order Nothing is known
of that here.
The Associated Press says: Efforts are
being made by the friends of Estes G.
Rathbone to secure a pardon for him from
the sentence of the Havana court. SEN
ator Hanna has requested the President
to issue a pardon for Rathbone. but this
the latter has declined to do. The Presi-
dent, however, has promised to send for
the papers in the case and have them thor
oughly reviewed. 1t is stated that unless
he finds something radically wrong he will
allow the verdict to stand.
The Post tomorrow will say that Senator
Hanna proposes TO introduce a bill which
will provide for the trial of Estes G. Rath-
bone. recently convicted i'm Cuba OF frauds

Ice, before a court in the United States

JONES LEAVES ONE HOPE,
But Carries with Him Another Hope
That He Has Been RenOminated.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 31.-To-
night the senatorial situation remains un-
settled. 1t is claimed by Ex-Governor
Clark's friends that advices have been re-
celved from forty four counties showing
they were carried by Clark. These coun-
ties have seventy-five members of the
General Assembly, or eight more than a
majority on Joint ballot. At the Jones
headquarters no definite claims are put
forward, but Senator Jones has not aban-
doned hope. 1t is thought every county
in the State will be heard from by to-
morrow. and the result will be definitely
known. Senator Jones left Hope, Ark, for
Washington to-day.
