Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1904-03-04

The suggestion of race for all county
stations, to occur at the next Addison
County Fair, which was made in
this department last week, has al
ready received enthusiastic approval
among local horsemen, and it is up
to the management to consider it. A
well-todo farmer with whom my ac-
quaintance is slight. and who is breeder
on very small scale, and would have
no horse to enter for such an event, met
me today, Monday, with beaming
countenance and the glad hand. "By
George" said he, that idea of yours for
a stallion race at the Fair is the best
thing | ever heard of in the line. 1t
would draw more people and make
more sport than anything else that could
be got up" My suggestions last week
as to payments were not even advisory
but simply illustrative. Details would
need to be carefully considered to make
such race a success, but with that
essential attended to there could be no
such word as fail.

BOGUS J. OGDEN GOBLET MUST
 RETURN TO U. S.
Canadian Court Decides Against Him. Fact. Disclosed Constitute Forgery In New York-Defsndsnt Committed to Jail and wnI Not be Surrendered for Fifteen Days.

Welland, Ontario. Jan. 13.-Judge Wells this afternoon gave his decision in the case of James N. Abeel, under arrest here for extradition to New York for alleged forgery in connection with his alleged impersonation of U. Ogden Goelet." Judge Wells read the charge and his judgment. He stated that 1t had been urged by the defense that the. dispositions had not been taken in the presence of the accused and were not fair; that the evidence of forgery was not corroborated; that there must be a practical attempt to copy the handwrit- ing, and that there was nc intent to iii- jure shown. He overruled all these ob- jections and declared that the facts dis closed in the dispositions constituted forgery in the state of New York. He then committed the defendant to jail, informing him that he would not be surrendered for fifteen days, and that he had a right to appeal
 Abeels counsel said the case would be appealed and probably decided in a week or so.

WAR UNAVOIDABLE.
This Impres.Ion Is sun Held in
 Poktn.

Pekin, Jan. iS.-The forecast of Rus sia's position regarding Manchuria cabled by the Berlin correspondent of The Associated Press January il, coin- cides with the information received by the foreign legations here, and also strengthens the impression that was is unavoidable. At the Japanese legation no effort is made to conceal the belief that war is expected.
 The crux of the situation is still Rus sias refusal to admit the right of Japan to voice in the settlement of Manchu- rian affairs, which Japan considers one of it's most vital interests and to sus- tain which the Japanese government is determined to resort to arms if neces- sary.
 The maintenance of Chinese neutral ity would banish the spectre of a Rus- sian occupation of Pekin. which is greatly alarming the Chinese. and is causing some uneasiness at the lega- tions since in anticipation of the event of Russia's approach the court would leave Pekin and the capital would be re- moved to the interior.

men Should Stop Fighting Roads.
 Minneapolis. Minn., Jan. 13.--James J. Hill president of the Great Northern road, was the principal speaker before the State Agricultural convention to- day. He dwelt especially upon the ne- cessity of seeking new markets in the Orient to offset the loss which will cer- tainly come from the adoption by Eng land of the differential tariff proposed by Joseph Chamberlain for it's colonies. MT. Hill vigorously defended the mer- ger of the Northwestern trans-conti- mental lines and caustically asked:
 ssWho but the railroads raised hand to carry this trade forward and make it possible to ship four from here to the Orient thirty cents cheaper than to New York, and for this we are charged with restricting trade and being crini- nals." He denounced the step proposed < by the Interstate commerce commission to require publication of rates in ad- vance, to be charged for shipments to the Orient which will give the foreign transportation companies an opportuni-' ty to underbid. He warned the farmers they must require representatives in congress to stop fighting railroad com- pines that mean cheap rates.
 we have tried to look out for your interests" said he. s'but when we run against the law we must stop 1t makes no difference to our dividends whether we carry one or a million bushels of wheat.''

THE POSTAL TRIAL.
First Assistant Possmaster General Tes-
 tifies--L Lively TiIts.


 Washington, Jan. 1S.-Robert J.. Wynne, first assistant postmaster-gen eral, was the central figure in the pos tai trial to-day, and when court ad- journed until Friday he was still on the stand. Mr. Wynne's testimony oc- cupied most of the day and he was sub jected to rigid ross-examination by Charles A. Douglass, counsel for the defense, during which the opposing at torneys had several tilts, necessitating a word of admonition from Justice Pritchard that they must conduct the case in peace. The first assistant post master-general was piled with ques- tions designed to test his knowledge of the duties of his office. The witness frankly stated that he had often signed papers prepared in Machen's division without examining into their contents, because they came to him on official form and because of the fact that he regarded Machen as one of the most expert men in the service, and relied on him.
 John E. Howley, MT. Wynne's chief clerk, occupied the stand for a brief time, the principal part of his testimo- ny relating to the fact that he suggest ed to his superior officer the advisabil- ity of examining into the legality of Machen's initials and signatur eplaced on letters and requisitions by Machen's |suhQrdinatea

QUESTION OF MEDIATION
No Action Yet but Powers Are consid-
 ering step.

Paris, Jan. 13.--No action has yet been taken in the direction of mediation between Russia and Japan, but it is learned that the powers desirous of peace in the Far East are considering the desirability of such a step. Wheth- CT the proposed action will be joint or independent remains to be determined. Thus far the representations which Great Britain has made to Japan and which France has made to Russia have been separate and not in the direction of mediation, burt rather in the way of advice that some pacific means be found for terminating the dispute.
 It was stated positively to-day that no representation of a mediatory char acter had yet been submitted, nor was it expected that anything of the kind would be done until after the contents of the Japanese reply to the latest Rus- sian note had become known, but that there will then be an effort at media ton, if the situation warrants. There seems no doubt that such a step will be permissible without giving offense to either disputant under the terms of The Hague convention to which Japan as well as Russia was signatory.
