THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 10, 1908

TT LOOKS very much like the govern
ment officers in Porto Rico, charged with
violating the laws they were sent there
IN maintain, will be protected, that is Ii
the following press dispatch from San
Imam states the true state of affairs in the
new possession:
The grand jury is investigating the So
called smuggling cases, in which ofhcers
of the United States navy and other
prominent men are involved, notwith-
standing the instructions which, it Is
stated. District Attorney Pettingill has
received from the Department OF Justice
at Washington not to present informa-
ton to the grand jury this term The
press and the natives have practically
demanded an investigation, inasmuch as
last term a native merchant named
Ricardo Amado was sentenced to year
confinement in the penitentiary and
fine of $500 for having contraband liquor
in his possession. Tuesday afternoon
the grand Jury came into court and asked
for information. The foreman said: at
has come to our knowledge that certain
cases of smuggling have occurred. We
have asked the district attorney about
the matter and he refused to bring up the
matter alleging that he had received
certain instructions. We now ask the
Judge if we have a right to information
in spite of the districtattOrney's refusal.
District Attorney Pettingill, III San
Juan. has issued the following statement
regarding the Intervention of the Wash
ington authoritiesin the smuggling cases:
| am reluctant to make statement,
but IN view of the discussion of the local
press and after Tuesdays action by the
grand Jury, which is matter of record,
it seemed advisable to make a dispas-
sionate statement as to how the matter
stands. 1t has been current rumOr for
some time past that the defendants have
made strenuous efforts to settle with the
Treasury. The authority to make a
settlement in these cases Is claimed
under section $40 Of the statutes, and
Mr.. Olney, when Attorney General, de-
cided that he had such authority. The
latest instructions received from Attor-
new General Knox by cable dispatch on
April 10 were as follows: "Dismiss the
pending proceedings in the smuggling
cases, and present no new cases to the
grand jury unless otherwise directed.
Hereafter report fully by mail on the
nature and status of the said cases"
At the Department of Justice in Wash
ilgton it is explained that the subject Of
the alleged smuggling had been brought
before the cabinet, and that the Presi-
dent had directed Secretary Of the Navy
Moody and Postmaster-General Payne
to investigate the case while in Porto
Rico. The representations made by those
officers upon their return has caused the
Attorney General to direct the dismissal
of the cases.
The upshot of the whole affair will be
that the army and navy officers charged
with smuggling goods into Porto Rico
will not be prosecuted. They will pay
fines equal to double the amount of duty.
This is travesty on American justice
as administered in the colonies.

THE National Association of Manu-
facturers, in convention at New Or
leans, yesterday listened to an ex-
haustive discussion Of labor prob
lens by Mr.. Carroll d. Wright and
adopted resolutions declaring against
boycotts and lookouts, recognizing the
right OF labor to organize, but without
interference with the liberty of employer
or employe," and pledging the associa-
ton to oppose all legislation not in ac-
cord with the foregoing principles.
While the utterances of some members
of the convention were rather harsh
the resolutions given above must be adj
mitted to be very conservative.

POISONING ANIMALS.

Some people whose souls would have
as much room in mustard seed as a
tack would in the Atlantic Ocean are
guilty of the contemplate habit of put
ting poison in the way of dogs and
cats. as much from a disposition to
wanton cruelty and much meanness OF
nature as anything else. They deserve to
meet with the ill-luck that will in all
probability follow such dastardly practice.

IL FRANKFORT, KY, yesterday, Frank
Cecil. who has been away from Kentucky
since his indictment last year as aces
sorry to the murder of Gov. William
Goebel, and who recently surrendered,
gave sensational testimony in the trial of
james Howard. Cecil corrOborated
Culton, Broughton, Golden and others
as to the alleged conspiracy. He also
said that Caleb Powers, then secretary OF
state. told him that a man had been Sc
cured to go to Frankfort from the
mountains to kill Goebel. If this man
failed to arrive, Powers told him he
(CeciD would be paid 81, 500 if he would
fire the shot. Gov. w. S. Taylor, he testi-
fed, called him into his private Office and
told him the same thing. Gov. Taylor
said he had saved 81, 500 from his cam
paign fund, and that he would pay i'm
mediately. Gov. Taylor also mentioned
Youtsey to the witness and referred wit
ness to him. Taylor, it will be remem-
bered, fled from Kentucky when his con-
nection with the Goebel murder became
so well established and took refuge in
Indiana, the governor of which state
has persistently refused to honor requi-
sitions for his return to Kentucky.
Taylor denies his guilt in the murder but
no innocent man would ever have acted
as he has done since the GOebel assassi-
nation.

NEBRASKA ARMED MOB
FIGHTS WITH SOLDIERS
Attempt to Lynch Three Men
Suspected Of the Murder
OF Berry Family

Lincoln, Nc3., June l1.-An attempt
was made by mob Of 200 armed men
to secure possession Of Chauncey De-
pew, Clyde Wilson and I. c. Mcbride
and lynch them. The prisoners are
accused OF the murder Of Daniel Berry
and his sons.
The settlers are said to have at
tackled the militia sheriff's posse just
as the latter forces left Dewey ranch
in Cheyenne county for St. Francis.
The telephone wires in Cheyenne coun-
ty have been cut and the telegraph
service is poor. Enough news has
been received, however, TO show that
the Deweys are in great danger. A
despatch from St Francis says that
the report of a fight between the two
forces is in all probability true, ad-
ding that the excitement all through
that section OF the state is at fever
heat. All day the settlers have been
fiocking into st. Francis and all are
heavily armed. They are outspoken
in their expressions OF enmity to the
Deweys. and say nothing will prevent
the settlers from taking them away
from the soldiers when they arrive In
ST. Francis
The fight OF yesterday is thought
to have been mostly with sharpshoot-
ers, as most OF the armed settlers are
at Berry's ranch and at ST. Francis.
