DISTRICT JUDGESHIP
In new YORK STATE
Representative Sherman Says
He Is Not a Candidate.
President Disposed to Appoint Attorney
General Davies-He is Coming
to Washington.

Representative James s. Sherman of
date for appointment as judge of the
United States district court for the
northern district of New York State in
place of Judge Coke, who is to be ap
pointed additional judge of the Second
United States judicial circuit, composed
of the States of New York, Vermont, and
Connecticut, in accordance with the terms
of the law recently passed by Congress.
President Roosevelt is favorable to the
appointment of Attorney General Davies
as the successor to Judge Coke. and he
will get the appointment unless he shall
be nominated for a place on the bench
of the supreme court of the State of New
York by the Republican State convention.
These matters were talked over at the
White House conference yesterday be-
tween the President, Senator Platt, Chair
man Dunn, Representative Driscoll, and
ex-senator Frank Hiscock.
1t is not known yet who will be Judge
Coxe's successor in case Attorney Gen
eral Davies goes on the supreme court
bench.
There is some feeling in the House of
Representatives over the matter. as it has
been understood all along that if the bill
providing for an additional circuit judge
should pass, Representative sherman
would get the district judgeship
At the Philadelphia convention in 1900
Davies opposed the nomination of Roose-
welt for the Vice Presidency in conform
ity with the wishes of Mr. Roosevelt.
while Mr.. Sherman, it is stated. was
doing everything he could in Roosevelt's
behalf. The President is personally
friendly to Mr. Sherman, but determined
scme time ago that he would give the dis
trict judgeship to Attorney General
Davies, if the bill creating the additional
judgeship should become a law, and he
will keep to his determination unless
Davies goes on the supreme court bench.

Court Finds Process Pos
sible, Although Not
Strictly Legal.
GOV. WOOD DESIRED ACTION
Order Forbidding Removal of Present
Members of the Judiciary Protested
Against by the Press-Functionaries
Protected by the Platt Law.

HAVANA, April 1S.-The audiencia has
accepted the 100000 bond of the Fidelity
Company as bail for Major Rathbone.
The court finds that Notwithstanding the
fiscal maintained that the bond is not
strictly legal, its acceptance is in ac-
cordance with article 3 of order 81 of
1899
The Courts Reasons.
In its decision the court refers to the
fscal's contention that Rathbone is a
citizen of a country where such bond
would be admitted, and that this nation
and its citizens should be shown every
consideration by Cuba. The court gives
other reasons also for accepting the bond.
Yesterday General Wood wrote to the
fiscal to the effect that he, in his capacity
of military governor, requested the legal
objection, if there were any. be waived
by the court and the bail accepted. He
said he was aware that the fiscal, the
audiencia, and the supreme court did not
consider the bond of the Fidelity Com
pany to be strictly legal, but he wished
1t to be accepted in order that Rathbone
should have every chance to benefit by
the same bail he would enjoy in his own
country. until the supreme court passes
upon the case.
Order Discussed.
The order forbidding the removal of
the present officers of the judiciary ex-
cept after the specifying of charges and
a hearing thereon is much discussed by
the press. Nest of the papers consider
that these functionaries cannot be re-
placed by the new government as they
will he protected by the Platt law
The 'Lucha" protests against the order.
The Washington times., 1902-04-19
BAIL FOR RATHBONE
WILL BE ACCEPTED

II says the congress of Cuba can get
around il, but it considers the principle
of permanent judges in Cuba to be dan
gerous. 1t prefers the former system by
which judges held their Offices perma-
nently as matter OF practice but not
by law.
The "Neuevo Pals" says it is strange
that these judges should be given perma-
nent Office after the report to Secretary
Root on the judiciary of Cuba, which
stated in effect that the judicial system
OF the island was corrupt and incompc-
tent. 1t adds that perhaps the decree was
published in order to settle the matter Of
judicial appointment. for which there will
be such a scramble. President Palma may
be very glad of it on that account.
Held to Be Illegal.
The "Mundo'' says that the action of
Governor Wood is unconstitutional, as the
constitution provides for the appointment
OF judges of the supreme court and the
regulation of courts. but the fourth article
of the Platt law probably protects the
judges. 1t considers the order an abuse
of power.
1t is generally admitted that the courts
of Cuba whole are incompetent and
corrupt. Many persons agree with the
"Lucha" that the judges on the whole do
not merit complete independence. though
making them so does not solve the diff
Guilty that presents itself here of prevent
ing them from becoming instruments of
the government.

DISTRICT BILLS ACTED ON.
Committee Approves Plan for Medical
Inspection of Public Schools.


The Senate District Committee yester"
day took favorable action on the amends
ment to the District appropriation bill
providing for medical inspection of the
public schools.
The committee also decided favorably
on the proposition to improve Fourteenth
Street extended. The plan is. embodied in
an amendment to the District apprepria-
tion bill. IL is provided that when all tha
land necessary for the extension of the
street from Park Street to the District
line shall have been donated the sum of
$40 900 shall be expended in grading and
macadamizing the street.
The bill advancing the Gate for the pay
ment of taxes for 1903 from November,
1902. to May, 1908, vas approved
There was some discussion of the ques-
tiop of improving the sanitary condition
of buildings in the District. and it is
probable that the result will be new
bill on the subject in the near future.
The bill introduced yesterday which al
lows the Commissioners to compel prop
erty owners to conform to the regulations
was discussed, but no decision was
reached regarding ii.
The committee will have a special meet
ing next Tuesday to discuss amendments
to the personal tax bill and also the bill

ried in the Committee of the Whole, 16i
to Ill, amid loud Democratic applause.
The Chair Sustained.
Mr.. Roberts offered an amendment to
take the duty off hides. Mr. Payne made
point of order against the amendment
which the Chair sustained. An appeal
was taken and the Chair was sustained,
1873 to 20. si-
Several New England Republicans voted
! against the Chair. Mr.. Shattuc, of Ohio
called attention TO, the fact that the vote
was distasteful to him by holding his
nose as he voted.
Mr.. Roberts then sought to have the
duty taken off hides from Cuba. but the
| amendment was lost
Mr.. Mcclellan moved to make the re-
ductfon 40 per cent instead of 20 per cent
/ majority of the Democrats supported
! the amendment but there were only two
Republicans-Messrs. Tompkns of New
/ York and Parker of New Jersey-who
| voted for it, and it was lost-102 to 162.
! Mr.. Richardson offered an amendment
in the shape OF the Babcock bill to take
! the tariff off steel products. 1t was ruled
| out of order and an appeal was not taken.
| The same fate met the proposition of
Mr. Corliss Rep., Mch.) in regard 20
an amendment for reciprocity with
| Canada
Mr.. Newlands offered his favorite
I amendment to extend an invitation to
Cuba to become part of the Union, and
insisted upon making a speech in favor
of 1t despite the fact that the Chair an
nounced that he was ready to rule on
the point of order against it.
Amendment Ruled Out
Mr. Newlands spoke while there was
great confusion in the House. The amend
ment was ruled out.
The bill was then reported to the House
and Mr.. Payne demanded a separate vote
on the amendment taking off the dfferen-
tisl on refined sugar.
1t was carried by vote of 1879 to 1O5,
amid great applause All of the Democrats
voted for it and IS Republicans, including

While in Charleston.

RICHMOND, Va. April IS.-George
Montague, of Virginia. and Governor
Stone, of Pennsylvania, who have just re-
turned to their respective States from a
visit to the exposition at Charleston, say
while there.
Although they spent ten days in
Charleston, one of which was set aside
for observance of Virginia and Pennsyl
vania day, Governor McSweeney did not
come down from the capitol to greet
them, and gave no intimation that he
knew they were in his State.
The mayor of Charleston showed them
no courtesies until Just as they were
leaving. The committee appointed by the
exposition to entertain them made only
the most feeble effort.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Senate Committee Decides to Consider
and Vote Separately on Measures.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re
lations will decide next Wednesday upon
its policy with reference to all of the
pending reciprocity treaties, including
those with France, South American coun-
tries, and the British West Indies.
The treaties will be taken up and voted
upon in succession. This course was de-
cidad upon at a meeting of the committee
yesterday. devoted exclusively to the coz
sideration of the matter.
No indication was given as to what the
decision of the committee will be. Jut
there is ground for the belief that the
French treaty and several of the others,
if not all Of them, will be reported ad-
versely.
Senator Cullom yesterday explained to
the committee the effect that each of the
important treaties will have on the COM
merce with those countries.

Proposed to Join Hands.

Referring TO Mr.. Payne's remark about
the decree that had gone forth from the
Democratic side regarding the rules. Mr..
Littlefield assured him that he intended
to join any propaganda advanced from
that side.
He then went into an argument upon
the germaneness Of the Morris amend
ment He affirmed this, upon the ground
that there was unity of subject, unity OF
existence legislative unity, and gram
matical unity. The sugar schedule was
unique; it was the only one in which
ditferental appeared and the duty on
raw sugar could not be affected without
disturbing the equilibrium between raw
and refined sugars.
II IL could be shown that by the opera
tions of the bill the refner would receive
an increased price for his product,
and this, he asserted had been abundant
ly shown the amendment was not only
germane, but absolutely necessary to re-
store the equilibrium between raw and re-
fined sugars. There was, he said, no de-
cision in the records which afforded
precedent upon the pending amendment,
one way or the other. And holding the
amendment germaDe, he insisted would
not open the bill to amendments gener-
ally affecting the tariff.
Mr.. Grow tRep.. Pa) said that sugar
was not mentioned in the bill; an amend
ment regulating the duty on sugar was
no more germane than would be an amend
ment to regulate the duty on any other
article.
Mr.. Richardson Dem., Tenn said that
there was precedent on both sides of the
question, and what the committee had to
decide was which precedent 1t would fol-
low.
Mr.. Richardson contcnded that under a
ruling by Speaker Blaine, aud under the
action OF the House upon the Philippines
bill. amendments opening up the whole
field of tariff revision were germane to
the pending bill.
General Grosvenor said the argument of
Mr.. Littlefeld had no foundation. 1t as
sumed that the chairman of the commit
tee would look into the possible effeat of

Big VERDICT AGAINST

Jury Awards 100000 in Tun-
mel Accident Suit.
--L.

Wife of Victim Had Asked for 100000
First of the Many Cases to be
Tried.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, April 1S.-The
first case OF the many instituted against
the New York Central Railroad for life
lost in the Park Avenue tunnel disaster
of January last was tried today in the
Supreme Court and resulted in a verdict
of 100000 for the plaintiff, Lottie G.
Dimon, of New Rochelle, who sued for
sl00 600 damages for the loss of her hus-
band. Henry G. Dimon, assistant manager
of the American Bridge Company.
Fight on Damages Only.
Mr.. Dimon was thirty-two years old.
He received a salary of $4,000 a year
when killed. The defendant railroad
made a fight only on the question of dam
ages 1t conceded at the outset that Mr..
Dimon was a passenger on the train and
was in no way negligent, and consequent
ly could not be charged with contributo-y
negligence.
The jury was out less than two hours.
The verdict is said to be the largest ever
awarded against a corporation for the
loss of a single life. Counsel for the
plaintiff believed it would be sustained
by the higher courts should the corpora
tion appeal.
Ten Suits Compromised.
So far the company has compromised
ten suits arising out of the same disas-

DEMOCRATS CARRY DAY IN THE HOUSE

proposition, as Mr.. Swanson several days
ago declared they would do.
AS soon as the amendment was read
Chairman Payne was upon his feet, MAX
ing the point of order that the amend
ment was not germane to the bill. TIC
establish this, he said, it was but neces-
sary to read the rules. These provided
| that no proposition or matter different
from that covered by bill could be in
serted or added under color of amend
ment
He said he had heard that the decree
had gone forth from the other side OF
the House that the rules were to be
brushed aside to secure that which they
desired in the matter of reductions of
duties. But he had not been informed
that Republicans were to lightly disre-
gard the rules which had for more than
100 years controlled legislation.
Mr. Payne Cites Decisions
There had been heard, of course, con-
demnations of the rules by members who,
because of them had been unable to Sc
cure the passage of Bills in the interest
of their constituencies. But ne did not
believe that a code of rules which had
the support of Garfield, Blaine, Reed, and
Dingley, Republicans, and of Blackburn,
Carlisle, and Crisp. Democrats, was n
cobweb to be lightly brushed aside He
quoted from decisions without variation
to sustain the point.
Mr.. Littlefield Rep, Me.) responding to
Mr.. Payne, dramatically invoked a denial
of the truth of the stories printed yester-
day morning regarding the reported over
lures from Republicans TO Democrats to
support the committee bill in return for
the suppression of the Crumpacker reso-
luton made to the Democratic caucus by
Mr. Underwood of Alabama. He had not
heard that charge repelled, he said, as
he would like to have it done. If true.
there had been a proposition to unite in
an unholy, groveling. and Infamous alli-
ance TO sacrifice human rights for the
preservation of the dignity of the Re
publican leaders or to maintain the profits
of an aggregation of capital.
Mr. Grosvenor--Do you deny it?
Mr.. Littlefeld-As far as | am concern
ed or know, absolutely and emphaticalIy.
Mr. Grosvenor-Whom do you want to
deny it?
Mr. Littlefeld-I should like to hear
from the chairman OF the Committee on
Ways and Means.
AT this point Mr.. Payne and Mr.. I'm
derwood arose.
Chairman Sherman-Does the gentleman
yield TO the gentleman from Alabama?
Mr. Littlefield-Certainly.
Mr. Underworld deny that made any
such statement at the Democratic caucus
last night or elsewhere. tApplausel

The fact that Judge Morris offered this
