PRINCE PROSPER
 IS FOUND INSANE
WAS SERVING SENTENCE IN GER MANY FOR THE UNUSUALLY CRUEL MURDER OF A NATIVE IN SOUTHWEST AFRICA.


 Berlin, March 1.-The military court of the first guards division, which yester- day began an inquiry into the sanity of Liuetenant Prince VonArenberg, who is serving a term of imprisonment for the murder of a native suspected of being a British spy while commander of a sta- ton in German Southwest Africa, to- day decided that the prince was mental ly irresponsible when he committed the murder and therefore declared his sent ence of death and subsequent eommuta- ton to fifteen years imprisonment to be null.
 The testimony showed that the prince shot Cain, a native with revolver as the latter lay bound and caused a sol- dier to run a bayonet through Gains s heart, the prince himself taking the ram rod and twisting it around in the bullet hole which was in the head. One motive of the crime obtained of the testimony was his infatuation for q comedy Damara woman, Yokbeth, Gains wife. who had rejected his attentions. The prince after the murder asked Yokbeth to enter his household and she replied:
 And see the murderer of my husband every day. No"
 It Is understood the princes family will place him in private asylum
 The case excites the deepest interest in Germany and a socialist who heard the decision of the court, said: That means 10000 more votes for us.

WILL MAINTAIN STABLES.
Whitney's Son VIII Carry on His
 Fathers Ideas.

New York, March 4-Harry Payne Whit ney will continue practically intact the racing stable of his father, according to the Tribune. The thoroughbreds probably will until the usual period of mourning shall have passed, be entered in the name of Frank R. Hitchcock. This, it is under stood, was the desire expressed by MT. Whitney during his last illness.
 Direct announcement of the plans have mot been made, because the stable being an asset of the estate. could only be re- tained as an asset by the consent of all Should any heir object to the retention of any part of the stable this must be sold. In this contingency, Harry Payne Whitney will, it is stated, bid in the ami mals.
 If Jockey Shaw is successful in secur- ing his reinstatement, 1t Is likely he will ride for the stable.
 Papers setting forth that Harry Payne Whitney had obtained the services of Shaw are now on file at the Jockey club It is supposed that the contract is eff fective only If Shaw has the ban lifted this year. For some time 1t has been inti- mated that the stewards think Shaw 8 license should be renewed and some ac- tion Is now looked for.
 Shaw's suspension last May almost sim ultaneously with the Jockey clubs re- fusal to accept any further entries from George E. Smith, to whom Shaw was under contract, was perhaps the most widely discussed incident of the turf year.

House Listens to Vigorous Antitrust Arguments-The Senate Spends the Entire Day on the Lake
 Training Station Bill.

Washington March 4-The house today had under consideration the Indian ap- propriaton bill the reading of which for the purpose of amendment was pending of adjustment. During the general debate of the bill, Mir. Martin, a republican mem- Der for South Dakota addressed the house on his resolution directing the sec retary of commerce and labor to investi- gate the causes of the difference which exists in the cost of live and dressed beef. He punctuated his statement with high tribute to Attorney General Knox, saying he was not one who went Into hysteria on hearing the word trust.
 But while this was true, he believed that monopoly exists in one of the big food products which should be investigated by the department of commerce and labor. He asserted that so far as the rights of the producer and consumer are concern ed, they are even worse than before the injunction was secured against the beef concerns.
 MT. Stanley a democrat member from Kentucky made an urgent appeal for relief at the hands of congress for the tobacco growers and toilers of the field. and complained that competition had been destroyed by combinations of capital.

Manipulated Aoainst Ther


 MT. Martin said that the western stock- men had been forced to the conslusion that the great meat markets of the coun- try were being manipulated against them. The recent meeting of the Stockraisers association had recognized this fact by resolutions favorlng the establishment of independent packing houses.
 MT. Martin turned his attention to the procedure of the attorney general In 1902 against the ''beef trust" which was now on appeal before the supreme court of the United States.
 But" continued MT. Martin, "so far as the rights of producer and consumer are concerned, they are even worse than before this injunction was placed on this so-called trust. l think there is every indication that after the injunction they changed their methods, and instead of agreeing and combining if advance their representatives go into the markets every day, and when one buys a lot of beef the others refrain from bidding against him. and afterwards divide up the purchase among themselves"

Monopoly in Coal Business.

MT. Robinson, democrat of Indiana, in closing the general debate on the Indian Dill, claimed that a monopoly existed in the coal business in Indian Territory and expressed the belief that the subject should be Investigated by the department of commerce and labor.
 The house confirmed the right of MT. Sims, democrat of Tennessee to his seat. The republican nominee had contested it.
 MT. Martin of South Dakota, was allot- ted 30 minutes by the democratic mem- bers of the committee controlling the time for the minority when he addressed the house on his resolution providing for an investigation by the department of commerce and labor as to the cause of the difference in price between beef on the hoof and dressed beef. He prefaced his rmarks with high tribute to Attor- ney General Knox, who he said Is every inch lawyer and a hero, and he con- sidered that he had seen the most ef- hcient attorney general the country has mad in the prosecution of antitrust laws.

Violation of Sherman Law.

This method MT. Martin declared was a clear violation of the terms of the Sher- man antitrust law, which he believed was adequate to remedy the evil He paid his compliments to Senator Foraker for in troducing bill in the senate to repeal the forfeiture clause of the Sherman law and gained democratic applause by declaring that instead of removing that clause 1t should be enforced more vigorously.
 MT. Martin related the experience of stockmen in their efforts to dispose of their stock on the Chicago market One he mentioned received a bid on a train load of stock at South Omaha. He did not accept this bid but his cars were all ticketed by someone after he he'd refused the bid When he reached Chicago. he could get no other bid than the price one made at South Omaha. He determined not to sell and had to wait for some time until finally he accepted the bid of an independent packer of Indiana.

THE SENATE.

Washington, March 4.-Practically the entire time of the senate today was given to consideration of the question of the selection of site for naval trainins station on the great lakes. Most of the senators from states bordering on the lakes participated in the discussion.
 The controversy arose over an effort to secure as an amendment to the commit tee amendment, a provision authorizing the appointment of new commission to select a site This amendment was of fered by Mir Quarels and its origin was due to the fact that a former commission had given preference to Lake Bluff in Illi- nois.
 The principal speakers were Messrs Quarels and Spooner, who presented the advantages of Racine, Wis; Mir. Hop kins, who spoke for Lake Bluff. and Mir Foraker. whose contentious were in the interest of Put-in-Bay Ohio The com mittee amendment was so modified as to make 1t apply to all the great lakes, and not alone to Lake Michigan, but MT. Quarels' amendment was not acted upon and will be considered tomorrow.
