Colonel Edwards, chief of the insular
bureau of the War Department, as
the reply to a letter he wrote regarding
the entertainment of fifty Philippine
representatives who would visit east

ten to Mayor Patrick A. Collins of Bos-
ton saying that the cities of New York
and Philadelphia proposed to enter
tain the Philippine delegation. Similar
hospitality was bespoken of the city Of
Boston. Mayor Collins, replying said
that the delegation represented purely
commercial bodies and that any cour-
1esies should be extended by CONNER
cfal organizations. At the same time
he conveys the decision OF the directors
of the Boston Chamber OF Commerce,
which had been taken upon a COM
rnunication from Chairman Wilson Of
the Philippine exhibit at st. Louis.
This was that, .'as the proposed visit
could not be regarded as of much COM
mercial Importance to the city, the en-
Pertaining of the delegation did not
come within the scope of the functions
of that organization" Mayor Collins
also said, on behalf of the metropolis
OF culture itself:

can possibly be involved in their re-
ception and entertainment, and, In the |
present state of its finances, 1 do not |

Who would have thought that Bos- |
ton hospitality was to. be extended
only in anticipation of an equivalent
return of commercial benefit? Is eour-

IS CALLED RIDICULOUS

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE defense in
the car barn trial today conducted
| searching cross examinations in which
the lawyers tried to prove, apparent
ly. That there wasn't any robbery at
the barn; that Stewart and Johnson
might have been killed in a fight
among the clerks in the Office; that
Van Dine and Niedermeier are vic
tins of conspiracy; that Nieder.
meier never pawned a revolver in
Denver; that the whole fabric of the
prosecutions case is a falsehood de-
signed to convict innocent men.
Such, at least, were the only infer
ences to be drawn from the line of
cross examination adopted. Once, At
torney Bartlett asked witness, Po-
liceman Hogan, the direct question: !:
Wouldn't it have been possible for
these men to have heeT killed without
anybody from the outside visiting the
car barn that night?'
What the defense expects to accom-
plish by such cross examinations is
difficult to understand The state re-
CARDS the methods of the defense as

BAY STATE GAS
Proceedings in One Case
are Halted.

Boston, Mass, Feb 11.--According
to the decision of Judge Loring In the
supreme judicial court, equity ses-
sion this morning 1t remained for At.
torney Sherman Whipple to say, at
the afternoon session of court, wheth-
or he would proceed with his present
bill, brought by Receiver Pepper of
the Bay State Gas company of Della
ware, against the Mercantile Trust
company, Boston Gas Light company,
Kidder, Peabody and company, and
others, to set aside the sale by the
Mercantile Trust company of the Bay
State Gas company of Delaware to
Kidder Peabody & Co.. alleging fraud,
or withdrawing and bringing in new
bill at later date.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Whip
pie asked If the case could proceed
without Geo. ID. Hallock, receiver Of
the Bay State Co., of New Jersey,
the same as if he were in court.
Counsel for the defendant claimed
that the presence of Mr.. Hallock was
necessary and Judge Loring then ruled
that the option granted Mr.. Whipple
would now have to be recalled. He
said: Under the circumstances l
cannot try the case, even if Mr.. Hal
lock would appear tomorrow and the
question now is whether the parties
to the issue care to go to another
Judge or a master"
Judge Loring then adjourned the
case until $3.50 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing when he will consider whether or
not 1t can proceed.

NOT THE MAN
Suspect Not Thought to

Bedford, Ind, Feb. 11.-Despite the

would betray his connection with the
crime by some indiscretion
Tonight detectives have under sur

NO CAUSE FOR THE ACT

Dover, Del, Feb. 1.-THE body of
pretty Estella Allaban, 21 years old,
with knife grasped in her right hand
and her throat cut from ear to ear, was
found yesterday afternoon by Alfred
l., Porter in the garret of his home
near Bowers Beach lying in a pool Of
blood. The girl had lived at his home
for the last seven years and was re-
garded as one of the family. Mis-
sing from home for half day, Por-
ter and his family made a search,
Porter finding the body in the garret,
which was rarely used by the fam
lily. No reason for her action could be
given by the family.
Coroner Abbot held an inquest, the
verdict being that the girl had COM
mitte1 suicide. The evidence given by
the Porter family and the surrounding
farmers corroborated this verdict. The
gap in the girls throat was large
enough to place a mans fist in it. The
girl was dressed in her working
clothes. The knife she used was one
she had taken from the Porter kitch-
en- and was used to slaughter hogs on
account Of its sharp edge.
Although Coroner Abbott was firm
in his belief last night that the girl
had met with no foul play the state
detectives were summoned on the
case and two OF them, Rutledge and
Francis, arrived here today and i'm
mediately went to the Porter home
where the Allaban woman was found
dead in an unfrequented room. They
made search of the house and prem
ises.
Porter was away from the house
when 1t is supposed the girl killed
herself, arriving few hours before
her body was found.

The representatives of the two war

Minister Takahira subsequently ex-
planned that ne bowed to Count Sas-

Minister Takahira was first to arrive

presented Japan's formal declaration

dent issue a neutrality proclamation
without delay.
Count Cassini arrived and was in
the reception room when Mr.. Takahira
came out Of the secretary's office. The

then again to Count Cassini. The
count returned the salutation with ex-
