for the Crisis.


New York, Feb. 9.-After briefly dis
cussing the antitrust law and pro-
posed department of commerce, J. J.
Hill, president of the Northern Securi-
ties, said: "As labor unions killed in-
dvstrial England, so are they destined
to bring about grave financial reverses
in the United States, and the country IS
swiftly approaching that crisis. It may
come in year; it may be deferred till
the presidential year, but it is bound to
come" Hill denied that the United
states is the leading manufacturing ma
ton and is rapidly gathering to its bos-
on. the market of the entire world.
This misrepresentation, he averred. Is
the result of the fact that over one in-
dustrial victory. the country sets up a
louder shout than England, Germany or
France makes over a dozen. There
seems to be too much confidence in ths
ability of the country to walk right
ahead of all other countries in manu-
featuring, continued Hill. "The coun.
try can do it, but not without trouble,
and not without changing its present
course. 1t is indeed a grave crisis We
are approaching, altho few seem to ap-
preciate it. A few years may see the
closing of many factories and throwing
out of work of hundreds of thousands Of
men. we have been reaping the harvest
an dthe reverse is coming. How quickly
we recover from it will depend largely
on who is at the head Of the country

YOUNG PLEADS GUILTY
Descendant Of the Famous Mormon
Leader Admits the Killing OF. Anna
Pulitzer-Given Life imprisonment.

New York, Feb. Civilian Hooper
Young, on trial for killing Mrs. Anna
Pulitzer, pleaded guilty to murder in
the second degree. and was sentenced to
imprisonment for life.
Justice Herrick explained that he had
advised Young's counsel to change his
plea, and also advised the district at
torney to accept it, this action being
taken because of the prisoners mental
condition. According to the report Of
the doctors he was not insane in the le-
gal aspect of insanity, but from pure
ly medical point of view he is not SANG.
In sentencing Young the justice said:
"There is no occasion now for me to
make any remark as to the enormity of
your offense. You are aware of the pen-
atty of your crime. The sentence of the
court is that you be confined in the
state prison at Sing Sing at hard labor
for the term of your natural life"
For the first time since the case was
called Young walked into the court to-
day without assistance. His eyes had
lost their look of vacant terror and he
sat straight in his chair, looking at the
court. His responses to the questions
of the judge, however. were made in an
inaudible voice. He showed no signs
of perturbation after sentence had been

Indian -uiIs, TNb. 9.--The defense in
the trial of DR.. J. c. Alexander, charges,
with being implicated in the grave rob-
bing cases, outlined its evidence today.
Spaan, proposed to show that Aiexan
der was of good moral character while
the negroes who testified against him
We're 6isreputable and unworthy of be. !.
'liet The defense is that when Cantrell
and Martin went to AleXanders office
they went there for the purpose of Sc
curing employment to clean up the
college as they had done that kind
OF work at Chicago and other places.
Alexander told them such employment
was out of his department, but to call

swer In the meantime he consulted
with several members of the faculty
and was told he might employ Can
trell, and Alexander agreed to pay him
$50 for the work. On the second trip
Control told him he was furnishing
dissecting subjects for other colleges
and would like to furnish some for
Alexander. Alexander replied 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 proposed to show that
the money expended by Alexander for
Cantrell in the way of fines and with

Philadelphia, Feb. 9.-Arguments for

anthracite mine workers, which Will

TODAY when the miners. thru Daniel j.

This star has not risen in the east but

He said the companies had made

NUN is FREED BY COURT.
Sister Estavan, of New Orleans, Re-.
stored to Her Family.

New Orleans, Feb. 9.-Sister Regina
Estavan, who for the past three months
has been in the Louisiana retreat as in
sane, and who for twenty years has
been one of the nuns in the Sacred
Heart convent, has been given her lib
erty on a writ of habaas corpus secured
by her sister, Mrs. Antonio Trepagnier.
The writ which was obtained from
Judge st. Paul, of the civil district
court directed the mother superior OF
the retreat to bring Sister Estavan into
court and show cause, if any existed,
why she should longer be compelled to
remain an inmate OF that institution.
Judge st. Paul asked the mother SUI
perior if she was ready to make defense
to the writ, and she replied that there
would be no defense.
Sister Estavan testified in clear,
concise and coherent manner that she
was not insane, and before put in the
retreat she had announced her inten-
ton to secure her release from her
vows and leave the order.
At the conclusion of her testimony
Judge St. Paul said:

FINLANDERs PROVE oBDURATE.

Refuse to Acquiesce in Russian Mill
tary and Postal Orders.
st. Petersburg. Feb. 9.--In the recent
decree in which the car ordered severe
disciplinary measures against all Fin-
landers who failed to comply with their
military obligations in 1902. the em-
peror invests General Brabrikoff, the
governor of Finland, with unlimited
powers for completing Il Finish bat-
tallion. The public interprets this ster
as giving General BraBrikoff authority
to accept persons who fall below the
medical and physical requirements. The
fact that the $50 men required for this
battalion were not secured from 1850
obedient recruits apparently confirms
Films who were nearly certain of rejec-
ton or have legal exemption from SER

The stubbornness of the resistance of
the Finlanders is further illustrated by
the governments inability to find postal
officials willing to sanction the open
ing. of letters. The order to open sus-
picious mail and confiscate contraband
matter was prepared last summer. The
honored old postmaster-gener has re-
signed rather than to sign the order.
After a long interval a. complaisant
applicant was found, whereupon the
Ipostmaster's secretary, whose counter
signature was requisite, resigned his
post and no successor to him has yet

REAR ADMIRAL. WILDE DEAD.
Naval Officer of Famous Lineage and
Service Dies at Sea.


San Francisco. Feb. 9.-Rear Admir-
al George Francis Faxon Wilde. junior
rear admiral, who until recently had
charge of the fleet in Manila and about
the Philippines, having been on the
station since June, 1902. died yesterday
morning on the steamer China.
From the first the trying climate
seemed to be too much for the officer.
Under the strain of the continual heat
and excessive humidity he constantly
lost strength until finally the naval
board of surveys stepped in and the
admiral was condemned as physically
unfit for duty and ordered home to
recuperate.
1t was reported upon Admiral
Wilde's arrival in this country If the
sea voyage had brought his health
back he was to be placed in charge of
the Bremen navy yard. But the invig-
Grating sea air did not work the cure
hoped for.
From the time Admiral Wilde board
the China, at Hongkong he seemed to
get lower. In Honolulu he was unable
TO. leave his bed. He finally died Feb.
e., at 1890 a. m.
The body was embalmed and brought

Ihe AckIey View of It.

Special to Times-Republican
Ackley, Feb. 9.-The second yearly
debate between the Ackley and Hamp-
ton high school debating clubs took
place at Hampton, Friday. evening. and
resulted in decision in favor OF the
Ackley high school club. The Hampton
Pignies, as they styled themselves IN
the Times Republican notice sof the
contest of last year. made about the
same amount of showing in the debate
as the pigmies in the jungles of Africa
do in the affairs of the world. Ackley
looks forward with great pleasure to
the next contest, while we hope that
the elevating atmosphere of Iowa VIII
increase the mental stature OF the
members of the Hampton club to such
an extent that they will make the at
fair more interesting to the Ackley
giants.

Bowen Is Not Satisfied With
the Terms of the German
Protocol
BRITISH TERMS ACCEPTABLE

Germany, However, Draws Her Con-
tract in Such Form as to Leave Moth
ing More Than Formal Decision by
The Hasue-Foreisners in venezu-
Ella Suffering Much Fromthe Blockade

Washington, Feb. As the Nenezu-
ella issue stands today the British prot
ocol is SO drawn that Bowen may ac-
cept 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, and this statement is not by
Bowen, was that while Germany with
the other allies in principle accept
reference to The Hague Of the question
OF allowing preferential claims, yet
their protocol is SO drawn as to prac-
tically require such preferential treat
ment in advance of submission OF the
case to that tribunal. Bowen feels the
German protocol would not be accept
able to the Venezuelan government and
he has therefore declined to sign it in
its present form, which necessitates
reference of the document back to
Berlin and extension of negotiations
beyond the time when it was hoped
by the authorities here that this phase
OF the subject could be closed and the
blockade lifted.
Reports that came from Caracas are
to the effect that great suffering is be-
ing inflicted upon many innocent per-
sons, and foreign residents are, bearing
more than their share of the rigors of
the blockade, because OF their more
complex wants are not to be satisfied
with the native food wich suffices the
Venezuelan. From this element, there
for, pressure is being brought upon
London, Berlin and Rome, which may
have some effect in Fastening negotia-
lions here. 1t is believed Italy is not
likely to prove an obstacle to the wind
ing up of negotiations. For altho nat
urally desirous of securing all the adj
vantages she can by the injection into
the protocol OF extraneous matter 1t is
believed she Mil not prove obstinate
when once her allies have harmonized
upon plan which can be accepted by
Venezuela.
Baron Won Sterburg. German minis
ter, was very active this morning in his
efforts to hasten negotiations and spent
some time with the British ambassador
and with Bowen at the latters hotel.
It is the understanding the German
protocol will provide for payment of
$500 pounds Immediately, as in the
case with the British protocol.

At News of suicide-can't Understand
-Revolutionary Talk.

Washington. Feb. S.-The report that
General Tribe Uribe had committed
suicide, causes considerable surprise
here. After his surrender to the Colom-
bian authorities he performed valuable
services to desist in their opposition to
the government to surrender. Subse-
quently he went to Bogota and was
cordially received. He is less than 40
years of age, was a brilliant fighter and
was long a thorn in the side of Colom-
bia.
Colombian officials here also are sur
prised and grieved at reports of a
threatened revolution in Colombia. DR..

bia in Washington. says that he can
conceive of no reason why there should
be a revolutionary movement. He said
he cannot realize how it can be on ac-
count of the Panama canal negotiations

struction of that waterway has not
been ratified by the American senate,

which the opinion is expressed that IN
the event of Great Britain becoming
involved in a European war the coun-
try must be prepared to see bread at
practically famine prices. Various rea :
sons are given as basis of this opin-
ion. The chief reasons are that the
greatest source of Great Britain's food
supply is the United States, where the
price of wheat can be raised artificial
ly and the corn trade on both sides
of the Atlantic would expect to make
the war risks.
