.HARRIMAN'S
ELECTION IS
UNEXPECTED
May Go to COnVen-
tiOl as Foe Of
President.
Republicans Wonder Why
He Was Chosen by
Governor 0delL.
Railroad Man Is Regarded as Irrecon-
cilable in His Opposition to
Mr.. Roosevelt.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, April 11-Republicans
in and out of Congress are astonished
at Governor Odell's latest demonstra-
tion of feeling toward the President in
having Z. H. Hartman elected a dele
gate TO the Chicago Republican Con-
vention from New York.
Hartman has been the most active
opponent of the President in the anti
Roosevelt propaganda and his election
as delegate over Representative Brad
ley, who is a friend and supporter of
the President. goes far 10 revive The
suspicion here that the State of New
York is doubtful.
Harriman's grievance against the
President is similarly grounded to that
of j. Pierpont Morgan and James j.
Hill. They all felt hurt at the action
of the President in directing the AT
torney General to proceed against the
Northern Securities Company. Morgan
has become reconciled to the election
OF Roosevelt and Hill is supporting
Cleveland. but Hartman has been re-
garded as one of the irreconcilables.
He has said he would regard the de-
feat of the Republican party with
equanimity.
When the movement to defeat Mr.
Roosevelt for. the nomination started
last fall Hartman was one of the lead
ers. With his great influence in four
transcontinental railroads he believed
he could swerve many of the Far
Western States. Harriman's opera
tions were promptly known in Wash
ington and details were given to the
President. The wave of popular en-
thusiasm for the President proved too
strong even in the districts controlled
by Harriman's agents and the Harri-
man opposition dwindled to insignifi-

Brown Men Must
Seize Base in
Manchuria.

LONDON, April IA correspondent
of the Times with the japanese head
quarters. senss the following, dated
April II, by wireless telegraphy via
Weihaiwei:
AT present information from the
land front must be belated owing to
the distance of the existing sea base
from the advance guard, but this will
soon be remedied.
1T is doubtful whether the long ex-
of the Yalu River will ever take place
certainly not unless the Russians
have been reinforced more heavily than
my information leads me to believe.
and hence their strenuous efforts to
block Port Arthur so that they may
be able to reduce the length of their
land communications by the establish
ment of a more convenient sea base.
1t must be remembered that unless the
Japanese secure the north side of the
Yalu with a new base by July. the land
movements from Korea will become
practically impossible.
The rainfall of summer is so heavy
that all the fiimsy bamboo bridges will
be destroyed. This would indicate that
it is not to the advantage of either
belligerent to engage in a struggle in
the vicinity of the Yalu.
The Russians desire ito get the Jap
anese forces inland, with the hope of
enveloping them. while the japanese
want to get inland becauseSthe country
affords a more suitable theater of op-
erations.
"As the time is short, an effort Of
the Japanese must be developed al
most immediately"
According to a correspondent of the
Times at Newchwang. who cables from
there under date of April s. the heavy
rains have flooded the railways and
blocked the roads throughout Southern
Manchuria. The field telegraphs have
been interrupted and the country is
impe essable.
A correspondent of the Times at Sc
oul, cabling under date of April z,
says: 1T is believed that the Russians
north of the Yalu are not sufficiently
numerous to withstand the Japanese
advance for any considerable distance
beyond the river"

POLICE SAY
He KILLED
MISS PAGE
Charles Tucker Is
Charged With the
Crime.
Special Dispatch to the Can.

BOSTON. April IL. Charles L.
Tucker was locked up in the East Cam
bridge Jail this afternoon. after having
been formally arraigned in the
Waltham District Court to await his
preliminary hearing on the charge of
having murdered Miss Mabel Page of
Weston. The hearing will be set for
April II, to which time the case was
continued
Tucker pleaded not guilty to the
charge and his manner supported his
plea His father, mother and brother
were spectators in the courtroom, and
sympathy for them was general. They
loyalty support their son's plea of inno-
cence and say that they can prove an
alibi for him.
The authorities apparently have not
been disturbed by this declaration of a
possible alibi. and say that the case
against Tucker satisfied them that they
have made no mistake.
Professor Wood of Harvard has not
yet made a report concerning the blood
stains found on the clothing or regard
ing the internal organs that have been
submitted to him for examination
fuckers lawyers visited him at the
jail tonight and had a long conference
with their client. They maintain that
the young man is innocent of the
charge, and this feeling is shared by
the neighbors of the fuckers in Au-
burndale. The latter admit they do
not believe that his natures1 was so
perverted as to render him capable of
the crime.
The police obtained much evidence
which has not been made public and
which probably will remain a secret
until it is produced in court. They do
not expect to be called upon to make
a complete presentation of their case
at the hearing before Judge Luce, as
they believe they will have little diff
Guilty in putting in enough evidence to
justify the court in holding Tucker for
the Grand Jury without revealing all
of the evidence against him.

of Goodman's lawyers, but Goodman
did not press his revolver against
Greene's body as the colonel stated in

! WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Unit
ed States Supreme Court> to-day de-
cided the case Of the State of Mime
sofa VS.. the Northern Securities Com
pany and the Northern Pacific and
/ Great Northern companies. involving
/ the validity of the merger of the two
railroad companies. holding that il was
without jurisdiction and reversing the
opinion of the court below Justice
Harlan. who delivered the opinion. said
that the Circuit Court should not have
entertained jurisdiction in the case. the
effect being to remand the case to the
state courts.
In delivering the opinion of the court
Justice Harlan cited the facts bearing
upon the origin and history of the
case. saying that originally the suit
was instituted by the State in its own
court. but that before an opinion could
be reached there il was on petition of
the Securities Company transferred TO
the Circuit Court for the District of
Minnesota, by which courI it was dis
missed. Much controversy arose over
the right to remove to the Federal
/ court, and after hearing the case ar
gued once the Supreme Court ordered
a second hearing on that point
Justice Harlan called attention to the
fact that the proceeding was for the
purpose of enforcing both the State
laws and the Federal antitrust act,
saying that the Circuit Court could not
have taken jurisdiction if only the State
statutes had been involved. Taking up
the Federal law and anaIyzIng its pro-
visions. he said it was clear that the
case did not belong to any of the classes
provided for by it.
1t is" he said, mot a criminal pro-
ceedins, nor a suit in equity, in the
name Of the United States to restrain

proceeding in the name of the United
States for the forfeiture of property.
nor an action by any person or cor
poration for the recovery of threefold
damages for injury done TO business
or property. by some other person or
corporation"
The contention that the case involved
proprietary interests of the State was
not allowed to influence the opinion.
On that point the court said in part:

present suit was brought is at most
