Washington, May 12.-(special. )-sena- tor Arthur Pue German left today for New York. when he will sail the latter part of the week for Europe, to be ab- sent, probably, until Congress meets in November, as the understanding is, in extraordinary session. Mrs. and Miss German will accompany him.
 Persons in Washington closest in con- fidencs to the Senator say that he does not encourage in any quarter the talk of him as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President.
 They say that his ambition is in the line marked out for him by his party as- sociates of Democratic leader in the Sem ate with a view to a potential influence with the administration in the event the Democrats are successful next year. He is also ambitious to be in a position to name the winner.
 It is important, in this connection, to note the statement by Senator Germans friends that there exists between him and Judge Alton B. Parker of New York the closest and warmest kind of friend ship. and that there is no man whom the Senator would rather see in the White House than the New York jurist

PASSENGERS ALL ON TIME

Sheriff of Mobile County Declares He Has Received No Informa- tion of Such an Occurrence.
 Fruit Steamers Diverted.

Mobile, May 12.-(Special. .)-The strike situation so tar as this end of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad is concerned was greatly improved tonight over conditions which existed last night. Freight trains were moved north today, a local leaving about o'clock. a through freight at : this afternoon. and a third train tonight.
 Passenger trains, in and out, arrived and left on time. both morning and even- ing and not single hitch occurred.
 At an early hour this morning 1t was reported here that several shots had been fired into a freight which arrived here after midnight. as the train was passing through Whistler. The report gained cur rency, but Sheriff Powers. who has a number of deputies stationed at Whistler. stated positively tonight that he had not received line from any of the officers to confirm the report. Had there been any shooting into the train, said he, Deputy Shelton, one of his old and trusty men, would surely have notified him. One of the head officials of the striking forces also denied the report of the shooting.
 He further denied the statement in ref erence to the arrest of man named Eastman who was sent in from the north yards, that Eastman was one of the strik- CTS. Eastman, he said. had been an en- ploye of the Mobile and Ohio some time ago. but had not been working for the company during the past two months.
 L. & N. Men Arrested.
 Three Louisville and Nashville switch men were arrested in the north yard this morning charged with disorderly conduct. but were allowed bond. signing the papers themselves. It was learned from an au- thoritative source that the men had mere ly gone into the forbidden territory while drinking. though not drunk. in the com mon acceptance of the term. They neith- CT molested nor offered to interfere with any one at work 1t is said.
 A seagoing tug was sent out to the Gulf to intercept fruit steamers of the United Fruit Company due up to this port. with instructions that they turn back and go to New Orleans. Officials of the Mobile and Ohio state that they will be able to handle this business, however. within the next two or three days as satisfactorily as in the past. The loss of his business would be not only a severe blow to the Mobile and Ohio. but to the city as well. as hun dreds of people obtain employment through the handling of fruit
 Orders have been posted to the effect that only persons having business on the Mobile and Ohio passenger platform will he allowed there until this order is re- yoked. The usual detail of officers were on hand when the mail trains arrived and left

THE TAKING OF SOKOTO
FANATICAL FULANIS SHOW
 GREAT BRAVERY.
Charged in the Face of Whitening Fire from Lee-Metfords and Maxims and Refused
 proffered Quarter.

London, May i2-Coionisl Secretary Chamberlain announced in the House Of Commons today that as a result of the British military operations in the Sokoto and Kano districts ending with the cap- ture of the Emir of Kano, 100000 square miles of territory had been added to Northern Nigeria and would be admin istered by the government of that terri tory.
 Interesting details have been received here of the capture of Sokoto, March 14 by the British column commanded by Colonel Morland. The engagement last ed two and a half hours. The British numbered about 800 men with four quick firing guns and four Maxims. The ene- my's horse and foot were estimated at some 5000 men, their rifiemen being armed with modern rifles and using smokeless powder.
 The British camped during the night of March 13. one and one-half miles from sokoto, after a hard march of one hum dred miles fram Kaura, with but little water and having passed through a difficult country. At daybreak. March IA, the British moved out in square form ation towards the valley in which So- koto lies. Immediately after the Brit ish appeared over a ridge the Fulanis charged with fanatical bravery, under tered by a whitening Maxim and rife fire. They had no proper leadership, but the isolated bands continued to ad- vance over heaps of dead and dying, often only individuals reaching within a yard of the square. where refus- ing quarter. they were shot down while shouting Allah" with their last breath.
 The main body of the natives was finally routed, leaving a remnant of about thirty chiefs around the Emirs great white flag. These chiefs were defiant to the last. and their corpses were found hedging the standard when the British entered the city, which consisted mostly of matched houses. Its semi-ruined walls extended seven miles around the place and were pierces by eight gates.
 A few days later the populace returned and the Fulanis rendered their submis- sion to Commissioned Lugard, who ar- rived March 19 and installed a new Emir.
 The British then retired towards the coast. leaving a garrison of two com- panies of infantry.

DIR. BARROWS SPEAKS
DISCUSSES TREATMENT OF CON-
 FINED CRIMINALS.
Says the Object Should Be the Ex- tirpation of Criminality and Not of the Prisoner
 Himself.

Atlanta, Ga., May 12.-The thirtieth an- nual convention of the National Associ- ation of Charities and Correction, one of the most successful and best attended in the history of the organization. came to an end tonight. The principal address of the evening session was by Rev. pr. Samuel J. Barrows. Secretary of the New York Prison Association, who discussed the treatment of criminals.
 Dr. Barrows spoke in part as follows:
 "Whatever differences may exist as to methods and systems there Is a remark abel unanimity among modern penolo- gists concerning the principles to be ap- piled to the treatment of the criminal Whether we look at it from the stand point of the individual offender or of Po- ciety as a whole, we reach essentially the same conclusion. A penal system to be effective must be corrective. The pro- lection of society is best secured not by extirpating the criminal, but by exter- mlnating his criminalty. It IS paradox for society to punish offenders when it continued to foster conditions which pro- duce them.
 When an offender is removed from so- ciety, he should be submitted to condi- tions which are essential disciplinary and corrective. Correctional and reformatory lnSlllullOuS SnOuIu Do punt W4lA IAlAS NAO tinct end in view
 Among the great regenerative forces is that of intelligent and fruitful labor. The ideal conditions of prison labor are secured when the prisoner Is employed in industries which are both educatiye and productive. in which discipline is not dis turbed, in which by the labor of the pris- oner the State is reimbursed for hls sup port and in which the prisoner himself se- cured share of his earnings. In the selection of labor for prisoners that form should be chosen which will do most to it the prisoner for self-support when at liberty"
 Among the other speakers at today s session were pr. D. McMahon of New York, A. W. Cartridge of St. Paul. Minn. Mrs. Emily F. Williamson of Elizabeth, N. J.; Mrs. Alice L. Lincoln of Boston and Homer Folks Commissioner of Char ities of New York city.
 Most of the delegates will leave for their homes tomorrow.

RATES ON LUMBER.
Case of Saw Mill Men Against the
 Railroads.

Macon, Ga, May 12.-The case of the Georgia Saw Mill Association against the Southeastern Traffic Association and its constituent roads to entoin the defendants from advancing the rate on yellow pine lumber cents per hundred. was called in the United States court today. The defendant companies filed a demurrer to the complaint denying jurisdiction.
 Judge Speer asked counsel for defen- dants if they desired to have the question of Jurisdiction determined first. Counsel for defendants elected to have the cause of complaint and questions involved m the demurrer tried together.
 Counsel for defendant companies. and for the Southeastern Traffic Ass ,siation, then set up general denial that there was any combination in violation of law to advance rates.
 The attorneys for complaints presented affidavits from different saw mill men. in which 1t was alleged that freight rates on Georgia yellow pine lumber from the mills to points beyond the Ohio River were on an average in excess of the value of the lumber at the mills. A general denial was made that the Georgia Saw Mill Association was combination to control the prince of lumber.
 The hearing of the case will probably last for three or four days.
