CONFER WITH PRESIDENT.
Republican Leaders Favor the Elkins
Rebate Bill.

Washington, Feb. lin order that
the administration antitrust pro-
grsmme of legislation may be rem
Cered entirely symmetrical it is known
that President Roosevelt desires that
what is called the Elkins rebate bill
should be enacted into law. That
measure was passed by the senate
last week and is pending now before
the interstate and foreign commerce
committee of the house, Of which Rep
resentative Hepburn of Iowa is chair
man. During several days the presi-
dent has been comforting, as oppor-
tunity offered, with prominent men,
bers of the house about the rebate
bill and the subject was considered at
a conference at the White House be-
tween the president and several lead
ers of the house. The president has
also had a conference with Speaker
Henderson concerning the bill. 1t is
understood that while the speaker is
not wholly in sympathy with the meas
ure he will not stand in the way of its
consideration by the house. Indeed,
it can be stated on excellent author
ity, that the speaker and the commit
tee of rules, of which he is the ex
oficio head, will authorize, if neces-
sary, a special rule providing for the
been reported by Colonel Hepburn's
committee. Such action, it is assert
ed, practically would mean the pas
sage of the measure by the house and
it's enactment into law.

DENIAL NOT BELIEVED.
French Officials Have Proof of Tur-
keys Warlike Moves.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE officials here
are not disposed to accept the porte's
assurance that Turkey has no inten-
ton of mobilizing a large force of
troops. When the Turkish denial was
brought to the attention of the Off
Gals here who have access to the gov
ernment's sources of information the
following reply was made:
I'VE have received similar pacific
assurances from Turkish sources, but
our own information is positive and
specific that orders for the mobiliza-
ton have been actually issued. This
was three days ago and we are unable
to say whether the execution of the
orders is withheld in view of the eff
feet they have produced among the
powers who are seeking to enforce re-
forms in the Balkans. Our advices
further show that the mobilization
would affect 100000 troops"
The French governments policy ap-
pears to be shaping on it's own ad-
vices without reference to the quieting
Turkish assurances.

RESTS WITH DENMARK.
Question of cession of Danish West
: Indies Not Closed. -

Washington, Feb. 10.-The govern
ment here does not regard the ques-
ton Of the cession of the Danish West
Indies as closed by any means. It is
said that certainly the negotiations
have not been closed by any: act of
the Emitted States and if Denmark has
halted in the transfer it. was from in
ternational considerations and the
conditions which caused the delay can
be changed only by the Danish gov
eminent. Technically the United
States has negotiated a treaty with
Denmark for the cession of the isl
ands and not until next June will the
period of time allowed for the ex-
change of notifications expire. Any
time before that date the Danish gov
eminent is free to ratify the treaty,
and, as this has already been done by
the United States senate, the negotia-
tons would close with success. The
administration has practically assured
itself that the treaty could not be
again rataifed by the senate as it
stands owing to objections to it's form
rather than to the principle involved,
and this probably will be the last OPP
portunity Denmark will have to effect
the sale under these conditions.

Facts in Order to Defraud Plaintiffs.
New York, Feb. 10.-The relatives
of Mrs. Charles D. Fair, who, with her
husband, was killed in an automobile
accident in France in August last
have commenced an action here to set
aside an agreement which they en-
tered into with Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs
and Mrs. Virginia Vanderbilt, sisters
Of Charles Fair, not to start a contest
over the estate. By the agreement
Mrs. Nelson was to receive $125,000
and her daughters jewelry, valued at
100000. 1t was claimed at the time
that under the California law Mr.. Fair
outlived his wife and therefore his
relatives were entitled to his estate,

relatives now say they are prepared
to prove that she lived thirty minutes
longer than her husband, and as he
had executed a will leaving his entire
estate to her they are entitled to the
whole of it. Besides filing the COM
plant, counsel for the Nelson family
filed lis pendens against property on
Riverside drive and Seventy-fifth
street, this city, which they claim was
the private property of Mrs. Fair.
They also claim furniture, clothing,
silverware, jewelry, bonds and securi-
ties and real estate in San Francisco
of the total value of $4,000, which
they claim that Mrs. Fair possessed
Independent of her husband. They al
lege that when the defendants offered
the settlement, which was accepted,
they well knew that Mrs. Fair outlived
her husband and that the statement
that she died before he did was made
to defraud them of the estate.

GRAVE RoR6tNG TRIAL.
Or. Alexander's Attorney Makes Open
inu Address.

ing Address.
Indianapolis, Feb. 1O.-The defense
in the trial of DIR. J. G. Alexander,
charged with being implicated in the
grave robbing cases, outlined its evil
dence as soon as the court opened.
The opening statement was made by
Mr.. Span. The defense, according to
Mr.. Span, proposed to show that DR..
Alexander was of good moral +charac-
ter, while the negroes who testified
against him we've disreputable and un-
worthy of belief. The defense is that
when Cantrell and Martin went to DR..
Alexander's Office they went there for
the purpose pf securing employment
to clean up the college, as they had
done that kind of work at Chicago
and other. places. F., DR.. Alexander told
them that such employment was out Of
his department, but to call again and
he would give them an answer.
In the meantime he consulted with
several members of the faculty and
was told that he might employ Can
trell, and DR.. Alexander agreed to
pay him $50 for the work. On the
second trip Cantrell told him that he
was furnishing dissecting subjects for
other colleges and would like to fur
nish some for Dr. Alexander. DR.. AL
exander replied that If he could get
the bodies legitimately he would pay
him for them.
The defense offered to prove that at
the time this conversation occurred
DR.. Alexander was writing to doctors
in different parts of the state asking
for material that could be furnished
under the law. The defense also pro-
posed to show that the money expend-
ed by DR.. Alexander for Cantrell in
the way of fines and with the pawn
brokers was deducted from the amount
that DR.. Alexander agreed to pay Can
trell.

WILL NOT sign IT
GERMAN PROTOCOL NOT ACCEPT.
ABLE TO Mr.. BOWEN INITs
PRESENT FORM.
MORE DELAY MUST FOLLOW

Document Referred Back to Berlin,
Neeessitatins an Extension of Nego.
tiations for Few Days-Reports
From Caracas Are to the Effect
That Great Suffering lis Being In
flicted as a Result of the Blockade.
Washington, Feb. 10.-As the Ven
ezuela issue stands the British pro-
tocol is so drawn that Mr. Bowen may
accept it in principle, but the German
draft is unacceptable and the differ
ences between the negotiators as to
this protocol are more marked than in
the case of any other. One statement
made, ard this statement is not by
Mr.. Bowen. is that while the Ger
mans, with the other allies, in prin-
ciple accept the reference to The
Hague of the question of allowing
preferential claims, yet their protocol
is so drawn as to practically require
such preferential treatment in advance
of the submission of the case to that
tribunal. :
Mr.. Bowen feels that the German
protocol would not be acceptable to
the Venezuelan government and he
has, therefore, declined to sign it in
it's present form, which necessitates a
reference of the document back to
Berlin and an extension of the nego-
tiations beyond the time when it was
hoped by the authorities here that
this part of the subject would be
closed and the blockade lifted.
The reports that come from Caracas
are to the effect that great suffering
is being inflicted upon many innocent
persons and the foreign residents are
bearing more than their share of the
rigors of the blockade, because their
more complex wants are not to be
satisfied with the native food, which
sufficed the Venezuelans. From this
element, therefore, pressure is being
brought upon London, Berlin and
Rome which may have some effect in
fastening the negotiations here. 1t
is believed that Italy is not likely to
prove an obstacle to the winding up
of these negotiations.
Baron Won Sternburg, the German
minister, was very active during the
morning in his efforts to hasten the
negotiations and spent some time
with the British ambassador and with
Mr.. Bowen at the latter's hotel.
It is the understanding that the Ger
man protocol will provide for the pay
ment of e 5, 500 Immediately, as is the
case with the British protocol.
