MAYOR is RELEASED.
Judge Holds Him GuiltIess of Any
Responsibility.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Mayor Garter H.
Harrison was to-day ordered by Judge
Richard S. Tuthill to be Immediately
discharged from custody in connection
with any responsibility for the whole
sale loss of life in the Iroquois Theater
fire.
The judge declared that the Mayor
was in no way whatever guilty or LA
BILE, and that the coroners jury, in or
dering Mayor Harrison held to the
grand jury, had put an unjust stigma
upon the Mayor, who had failed in no
particular whatever, either in omission
or commission.
Mayor Harrison was released on a
writ of habeas corpus which was sued
out before Judge Tuthill, after the
Mayor had surrendered himself to the
custody of the sheriff. In delivering
his opinion, Judge Tuthill said:
II have gone over the testimony of
Fire Marshal Musham and Building
Commissioner Williams and the Mayor
particularly, and l can say without
qualification or hesitation, that l find
IlOl Oile WOTu III the evidence, so Tar as
1 have examined it, which tends even
remotely, in my judgment, to show that
the Mayor had any knowledge of this
matter, or that he was in any respect
negligent of any duty imposed upon
him by the laws or by the rules that
commonly apply to persons who are
responsible for the safety of others.
ut seems to me it would be Just as
logical to say that because there
should be a destruction of a building.
at West Point or Annapolis by fire,
and lives should be lost there, the
President of the United States should
be held over by a coroner's jury to
answer to an indictment by a grand
jury for criminal completely
Now, the Mayor of the city occu-
pies relatively the same position that
the Governor does and that the Presi-
dent does, 1t seems to me that it is
a very great wrong to place upon the
Mayor of the city this undeserved
stigma without any basis in the law or
in the facts"

MINNIE COX IS
OUT AT INDIANOLA
ROOSEVELT WAS ANXIOUS
TO REAPPOINT THE WOMAN AS
POSTMASTER.

She Refused Most Positively to Ac-
cept an Appointment Again Under
Any CONFERENCE.-The w.
IL. Martin Was Named-He Was n
Bondsmnn of the Cox Woman.
President Himself Makes n state
ment Relative to the Office.
Washington, Jan. 27.-The President
has appointed w. B. Martin to succeed
Minnie Cox as postmaster at Indian
OLA Miss. Martin, who is a white
man, was one of Minnie Cox's bonds
men.
Concerning the appointment, the
following statement was issued at the
White House:
THE President has sent to the Sem
ate the nomination of William B. Mar
tin to be postmaster at Indianola. The
term of the postmaster has expired and
she positively refused to accept a re-
appointment under any consideration
and made the request for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Martin, one of her bonds
men and staunch friends throughout
everything in his power to oppose and
prevent the lawlessness. A report was
made by the postoffice inspector who
had originally investigated the whole
affair and on his advice and in view
of the positive refusal of the post
master to accept a reappointment un-
der any consideration the President
appointed W. B. Martin"
1t will be recalled that Minnie Cox,
who is a negro woman, and whose hus-
band was railway mail clerk, became
Objectionable to some of the citizens of
Indianola and she finally was requested
by them to resign her office. Threats
were made against her and she was
led to believe that her life was in dan
ger. She expressed to the Postofice
Department a desire to resign but,
when the facts were developed, the de-
partment declined to permit her to do
so. Feeling over the matter became
bitter and, as the woman felt that she
could not remain in the office with safe
ty to herself, the office was closed, the
government refusing to make any other
arrangement For long time the peo-
pie of Indianola have been receiving
their mail from Greenville. a town
twenty-five miles distant from Indian
ola. The citizens paid a special carrier
to bring them their mail from Green
vile.
For some time an arrangement has
been making quietly for the reopening
of the Indianola office. The woman's
term of four years having expired. the
appointment of Mr.. Martin is made as
solution of the difficulty. The ap-
pointment is understood to be satisfac-
tory to all concerned

1T CLIMBS AGAIN.
Cotton Is still. Running With the
Bride on.

New York, Jan. 27.-Great activity
developed in the cotton market to-
Gay after it had opened comparative
ly quiet and somewhat easier under
lower cables. First prices were very
irregular at an advance of 6 points to
a decline of points. For the first
few minutes liquidation in the absence
of bull support caused declines of
about to 10 points on the three &C
tive months, but this was followed by
a steadier tone, which became decided
strength as the session progressed, so
that by midday all, the active months
had advanced to new high levels, with
March selling at 15.S4c. May at 15.5Sc
and July at 1850 This was a gain
of 34@3S points from the lowest of
the morning and net advance OF 20
ais points on the positions named.
In the afternoon the market became
rather less active and it looked as if
the most pressing demand had been
filled. There was little disposition to
sell, however, and after easing off a
few points prices were again rallied
by a renewal of bull support In the
late trading March sold at 15.42c, May
at 1850 and July at 15.77c. The close
was firm, with prices at about the best
net 10 to 3S points higher Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.

MANY MORE SPEECHES
Are Looked for Before the Debate
on the Treaty Closes

1A'e HooAeu Tor before the Debate
on the Treaty Closes.
Washington, Jan. 27.--In an execu-
tive session of the Senate lasting near
ly an hour to-day, Senator Morgan
discussed the amendments which had
been adopted by the Committee on For
eign Relations, and later abandoned by
the committee. Senator Cullom pre-
scented the report of the committee, dis
agreeing to the amendments offered.
which action withdrew the committees
support of them. He expressed a de-
sire to have the treaty brought to a
vote, and said that he could see no
advantage in prolonging the debate. in
asmuch as it was already apparent
that the treaty as ratified by Panama
protected every interest of this gov
eminent.
Senator Morgan protested against
the second report of the committee.
which rescinded the action adopting
the amendments, and declared that the
changes suggested, particularly in re-
gard to safeguarding the health of
those who work on the canal, were alb
solutely essential.
Senator Morgan was i'll and his eff
forts taxed his strength greatly. He
expects to continue his remarks at an
other session.
1t was made plain that the Repub-
lican senators will not be able to short
en- the debate. and 1t is believed that a
number of senators will insist upon dis
cussing the resolutions relating to the
alleged participation of United States
officials in the Panama revolution. SEN
ators Fairbanks. Clay and Clark of
Arkansas, have signifed their desire
to speak on various phases of the ca
nal treaty and Panama revolution.

ARE STILL TINKERING
UPON THAT TREATY.
Russia and Japan still Trying to
Fix Matters Up.

4 ps
st. Petersburg, Ian 27.-The ex-
changes regarding the Russian response
to the Japanese note are still progress
sing, and the foreign office here an
nounces to-day that there is no change
in the situation.
The Japanese legation does not credit
the report from Toxic that Japan has
requested Russia to hasten her reply.
M. Kurino. the japanese minister has
received no instructions on the subject
On the contrary he apparently realizes
that the delay is consequent upon ex-
changes between st. Petersburg, Vice
roy Alexieff and Baron DeRosen. the
Russian minister at Toxic. NJ. Kuri-
no reiterates his opinion that Japan
will not press Russia for a reply.
Prince Khilkoff. minister of railroad
communication, will leave here. in a
few DAYS for Irkutsk to inspect the
nearly completed railroad line around
Lake Baikal which connects the two
ends of the Siberian Railway. This
connection, which will permit the
movement of through trains, is consid-
cred of great advantage, especially in
the event of winter military exigencies.
The Car, when voicing his approval of
Prince Khilkoff's mission. said in SUBJ
stance that he desired peace. which he
believed would not be broken, but that
it was proper to be prepared for all
EMERGENCIES.

REIGN OF KING COTTON
Threatened BY GERMANS.
Consul General Mason Reports Upon
the Movement Against the Ameri-
can staple.

Washington. Jan. pa revolt
against American cotton is the total
of a long report just received at the
State Department from United States
Consul General Mason at Berlin, Ger
many.
Mr.. Mason says that foremost among
the economic movements in Europe,
which may have a serious meaning for
important interests in America, is the
present simultaneous effort of Great
Britain, France and Germany to eman-
cipate their textile industries from de-
pendence upon American cotton. The
portentous feature OF the situation is
that there is not only in Germany,
but throughout Europe, growing
feeling of resentment against this de-
pendence and a determination that
their spinning and weaving industries
must at any cost be emancipated from
such vassalage by the development of
wholly new sources of supply. The
German press charges that the Ameri-
can cotton market is at the mercy of
spectators, who drive up and down
the prices to suit their own purposes.
Thus far the movement is in its in
fancy, but its future may be ominous
for the cotton growers of our south
ern states, says Mr.. Mason. Expert
ments in the East African colonies
during the last two years have been
successful. 1t is announced that there
are many thousands square miles of
land in East Africa with soil and
climate well adapted for the cultivation
of cotton.
Through the German consul at Gal
weston arrangements are being made
to send over. and educate at agricul-
tural schools. and on plantations in
Texas a number of young Germans,
who before going, will contract to
spend a number of years as superin-
tendents OF plantations in the Ger
man African colonies. Coolie labor
from China will be employed in case
the native tribes prove too incompe-
tent
1t may be many years before this
European crusade for colonial cotton
may be accomplished, but, says Mr.
Mason, whether we like it or not the
day will come sooner or later, when
the cotton of our Southern uplands
and valleys will no longer be king
beyond the frontiers of the United
States

be compensated for her loss.
WITH NO AMENDMENTS
The Panama Canal Treaty Is to BE
Ratified.

Washington. Jan. 27-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to-
day took action on the Panama canal
treaty, which. in effect, rescinds it's
former adoption of amendments. Sem
ator Cullom. chairman of the commit
tee, was authorized to report dis
agreement on the amendments already
reported, which action is equivalent to
reporting the treaty in it's original
form.
This course of the committee is in
accordance with a decision reached by
the Republican senators more than
week ago not to permit any amend
ment of the convention. Assurance
having been given to the State Depart
ment and communicated to the Sem
ate that the Panama republic will per-
init the harbor improvements and san
ltary regulations desired by the United
States government the need for
amendments to the treaty has been
removed and the alterations recon-
mended by the committee are held to
be superfluous.
1t is believed by the administration
that the interests of this government
are fully protected now and that It is
not advisable to change the conven-
ton and send it to Panama for ratifi-
cation OF the amendments.

DOPE FIEND CHARGED
WITH W0MAN'S MURDER.
Harry Behr Arrested and Held for
killing Miss Schafer.


Louisville, KY, Jan. 27.-With his
clothing in several places clothed with
blood and his face badly scratched.
Harry Behr was to-day taken into GUS
tody as a suspect in connection with
the murder of Miss Sarah Schafer at
Bedford, Ind. on the night of Ian. p.
Chief of Detectives Sullivan and De-
tective Maher arrested Behr at the
home of Roger White, a negro with
whom he has been boarding since the
day following the murder. The grounds
given for Behr's arrest are stated by
the officers as follows:
Behr was met by the negro. White,
on Friday morning, Jan. %, the day
Following the murder. Behr was COM
ing from the Louisville dock of the fer
ry line running to JeTersonvilIe, Ind.
Bedford is seventy-tive miles from
Louisville.
Behr, after his arrest. told an I'M
certain and disconnected story to ac-
count for his whereabouts at the time
OF the murder. and in explanation of
wounds on his face. Some portions of
his story are contradicted by his moth
er, who lives in Memphis, and other
statements by Mrs. Behr fail to fully
Substantiate details as to time.
According to the story of the negro,
White, Behr asked for permission to
board with him and smoke a little hop.
White assented and Behr went to the
Negroes home, where he remained until
his arrest, going out but twice for
brief intervals. Two days ago Behr
produced newspapers containing ac-
counts of the Schafer murder and asked
Lizzie White to read to him the story
of the murder. He was smoking opium
frequently and was twice heard to say
that he had a woman's blood on his
clothing. This morning Behr awoke
from a stupor induced by the pipe
and screamed for Lizzie White calling
out that he had killed a woman
The negroes notified the detectives
and the arrest followed.
To the officers, Behr stated that he
was native of Memphis and gave the
address of his mother there. He de-
clared that he left Memphis last Thurs
| day night, coming to Louisville and re-
! naming here. The cuts on his face he
! claimed to have received during the
| turbulent municipal election at Mem
| phis. Jan. Z.
! The local officers are now following
up two trails. Some are endeavorng
| to follow Behr's movements from Mem
| phis. Others have instituted an in
! quiry as to the possibility of his having
| ridden out of Bedford on a Monon
| freight on the night of the murder.
