AGAINST CUBA COMPANY.
Mr.. McLaurin Obtains Big Verdict
Against Railway Company.

New York, March 2j.-Peter f. Nc
Laurin OF Mt. Vernon, N. Y, obtained
a verdict of $4,000 against the Cuba
company in the supreme court OF
Westchester county Monday. The
corporation has capital of $4,000,
Gee. The stock is said to be wholly
held by William c. Whitney, Oliver
Hartman, J. p Morgan, Levi p. Nor
ton and Sir William Van Horne of
Montreal, Canada. A jury heard the
case.
McLaurin's allegation was that,
through Sir William Van Horne, the
company engaged him to further its
business in Cuba, for which he was to
receive $4,000 a year and one share OF
stock and that when he had finished
this work the company discharged him,
paying him what salary was due him
but refusing his demand for the share
Of stock.
To save the appearance of the vari-
Gus stockholders in the company in
court it was admitted by them that
the share OF stock in dispute was
worth $4,000. Beyond this they could
not throw light upon the matter. Sir
William Van Horne was the only VIII
ness tor the defense. He admitted
the truth Of Mr.. McLaurin's story eX-
cept as to the share of stock. He de-
MED any agreement to transfer it to
McLaurin.

SUMMING UP FOR PATRICK.
MIR. Moore Asked Jury to Believe Dry
Curry and Others Rather Than
Jones.

New York, March 25.-Mr. Moore
called the jury's attention to that part
CT the testimony of DR.. Curry wherein
it disagreed with that of Jones. He
asked the jurymen if they preferred
the word of Jones to that of a man
who had practiced medicine in New
York city for 40 years.
Counsel then took up the testimony
of the medical experts called by the
prosecution, saying:
The doctors to whom the chemical
history of the case was given have
given to you their opinion as to
the cause of death. Eight Of them
have given different opinions. Non-
of them attributed the condition shown
by the autopsy to chloroform poison
ing. VIII you say that you believe
Jones, that you disbelieve these emf
nent medical men and that you have
no doubt as to what caused the death
of Mr.. Rice?"

TALK WITH PRESIDENT
Conference With Republican
Opponents of Reciprocity.
Call Was at the Request of the Presi-
dert - Talk Covered Conditions In
Cuba and Means Of l1armonizing
Conflicting lnterests-Unanimity Of
Action Desired.


Washington, March 25.-A confer
ence was held at the White House be-
tween the president and seven of the
Republican members of the house who
have been foremost in opposing the
plan OF Cuban reciprocity urged by
the ways and means committee, which
plan it is understood has the support
of the administration.
The members were Representative
Tawney and Morris of Minnesota, Dick
of Ohio, w. T. Smith of Michigan,
Minor of Wisconsin, Metcalf OF Cali
fornia and Dayton of West Virginia.
The call was at the request of the
president. lie desired an exchange
of views to the end that harmonious ac-
ton may be secured in such steps as
shall be taken in behalf of Cuba. A re-
port gained circulation that Secre-
,ary Root and General Wood were pres
ent during the conference, but this
was not the case. Only the president
and. the congressman were in the cab
met room. The talk covered the con-
ditions in Cuba, what should be done
to meet these conditions and the ques-
tion OF barmonizing conflicting inter
ests SO that there may be unanimity
of action on the part Of the Republi.
cans in congress. 1t was said after
wards by those who participated in
| the conference that it was of the most
agreeable character.
The callers were frank to concede
that they found the president desir.
Gus of extending effective relief to
Cuba by the reciprocity plan.
At the conclusion of the conference
the general understanding was reached
that any statements made to the pub
lie were to the general effect that no
conclusions were reached and that
the conference was confined to a gen
eral interchange of views. 1t is un-
derstood that the president will see
some of the members of the ways
and means committee today, thus fam
iliarizing himself with both sides of
the issue.
