SAYS HAITI MUSTN'I |
Mr.. Powell Protests Against
Americans Sentence

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Jan. 13.-
Mr.. Powell, the American minister, has
informed the government that the
United States government refuses to
recognize the validity of the sentence
in conturnacy to fifteen years at hard
labor pronounced by the Haitien court
against Jaeger Huber, an American
citizen, for alleged completely in bond
frauds charged against the administra-
ton of ex-President Simon Sam and
officers of the Bank of Haiti. The
United States demands the annulment
of the sentence under pain of ener-
getic Intervention. The demand has
caused much excitement Huber was
one of the defendants who had left
the country at the time court pro-
nounced sentence.
The alleged fraud was in connection
with plan of the Sam administration
for consolidating the debt of the repub-
lie by issuing bonds. Before the re-
funding scheme was consummated
Sans administration was overthrown
and President Nord caused the arrest
of members of the Sam cabinet and
others on charges of conspiracy and
the fraudulent issue of from 100000 to
$3.50, 900 of bonds.

RAILROAD RATES
KEEP COMING down
Besides Showing This, Mr..
Spencer Makes Suggestions
on New Legislation

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 13.-Op-
position to government making
for the railroads was continued today
before the house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce. Presi
dent Samuel Spencer, of the Southern
railway, resumed his argument against
the Quarles- Cooper bill. The commit
tee refused by a vote of 4 to 8 to go
into executive session to consider a
motion by Representative Davey. of
Louisiana, to close the hearings Jan. "a.
Mr.. Spencer, taking up the increase
in the receipts of railroads in 1903 of
$155,00O,000 over 1899, emphasized
again that 1899 was the lowest rate
period in the history of railroading. He
said that If the character of the ton
mage had been precisely the same in
1899 and 1903 there would not have
been the s155,000, 900 difference in rates.
I There are, however. fluctuations going
on in classification all the time, but
their reclassifcations have not result
ed in increasing rates
Would Cause Commercial Upheaval
Answering question as to whether
there Woulu sue ally opjectioil lo d uil-
form classification of freight through
out the country, Mr.. Spencer said
there might not be, although it would
without doubt throw the rates of Ger
tain railroads out of line. If it was
done violently and suddenly, it would
result in commercial upheaval. The
putting of freight into classes to avoid
rate on every commodity, he said,
had been matter of evolution. Ger
tain groups of roads had worked out
their own classification and to disturb
it would mean a general readjustment
Of rates. Asked if freight rates were
the same both ways on given road,
Mr.. Spencer said there was often a
great difference in rates on the same
commodity each way on the road. An

Or. IRVINE IS LOSER
Bishop Talbot Will Not Be In
vestigated


READING, Pa, Jan. 13-There will
least, of the charges preferred by Rev.
DIR. /. N. W.. Irvine against Bishop
Ethelbert Talbot "a lack of canonical
authority is the conclusion of the
eleven members who attended todays
meeting of the board of inquiry. The
session was secret, the desire of DR..
Irvine to have the meeting public be-
ing ignored. AT times the debates and
discussions were animated, but it is
stated that the finding of the board
was unanimous.
The point is made that Rev Harry
p. Nichols and Rev. DIR. Dix, of New
York, who were appointed members
of the board of inquiry, could not both
be deemed to have been deputies to the
last general Episcopal convention; and
also that the list of clerical deputies
from New York, from which DR.. Dix
and DR.. Nichols were drawn to serve
as members of a board of inquiry,
either failed to include the names Of
the other three clerical deputies from
New York, who actually sat in the con-
vention,s or else included the names of
five presbyters as clerical deputies,
whereas under the constitution of the
church there could not be more than
four clerical deputies from one diocese
at any one time. In either case the
list from which such names were
drawn was not list of the deputies to
the last general convention as required
by canon 9, section 4, for either it in
cluded one more name than was en-
titled to be therein or it excluded one
name that should have been therein.
Mr.. Nichols served in the conyen-
ton as proxy for DR.. Dix.

his movements, the condition of his

Immediately before and after the MUIR

which the murder was committed was
not owned by the father of the defend
ant.
The testimony given by Miss Ida
Koch and by the student, Paul Hip
pauf, who does chores at the Koch resi-
dence in return for his board, was the
strongest put up by the defense to es-
tablish the alibi. Both made good wit
nesses and the rigid cross examination
failed to injure the effect of their testi-
mony. Hippauf swore positively that
Dr. Koch was in the bedroom they
shared in common at 10 o'clock the
night of the murder. Miss Emma Koch
testified that it was twenty -one min
utes of ten when she went to bed, and
that shortly after she retired she heard
the defendant pass her room.

ASSOCIATION OF
STOCkMEN DIES
CattIemen Secede Because
Railroads Are Admitted and
Form a New Body

DENVER, Col, Jan. 13.-The Ma
tional Live Stock association was rent
in twain today by the adoption of
new constitution which admitted the
packers to membership and provides
an open door through which the rail-.
ways of the country may at: any time
become factors in the control of the
organization.
The cattlemen, horse and swine
growers, together with representatives
of some of the affiliated industries, re-
fused to agree to the new constitu
tion and Withdrew when they consid-
cred its adoption was probable, and
this afternoon formed a new organiza-
ton under the name of the American
Stock Growers association" whose aim
it will be to WELD a dominant inf1u-
ence in the interest of the cattle grow
er.
Roughly speaking, the sheep growers,
commission men and the stock yards
interests remained with the National
Live Stock association, and the actual
growers of all other animals for the
market have gone with the new asso-
citation. The cattleinen had from the
first strongly opposed the admission
into their organization of the packers
and particularly of the railroads They
claimed that - these two influences
would ultimately dominate the cattle
growing industry of the country to the
detriment of the individual grower, and
they refused to remain in an organiza-
ton which included their representa-
tives among the members of its een-
trail body.
Talk Is Torrid
The detection in the ranks of the
association came after long session,
in which the arguments were at times
torrid and where the parliamentary
tangles were so frequent and COM
plex that it was impossible to follow
them.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 13.-The
resignation of Joseph L. Bristow, OF
Kansas, will take effect on the goth
inst. By an executive order issued this
afternoon, President Roosevelt desig-
mated Mr.. Bristow as special COM

America and the east coast of the Unit
ed States and Europe to determine the

day between the president. Secretary
Taft, Mr.. Bristow and Senator Long, of
Kansas Senator Long afterward said
that the transfer of Mr.. Bristow from
the postoffice department. to work with
the proposed isthmian canal had long
been under consideration. Mr.. Bris-
tow has had interviews with the presi-
dent and Secretary Taft regarding the
matter, but his final determination was
not reached until today. His decision
was fastened, it is understood, by the
transfer yesterday of the division OF
postoffice inspectors from the bureau OF
the fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral to the direct control of the post
master general himself. Mr.. Bristow
regarded the issuance of the order OF
transfer of the division as a reflection
upon himself. He will continue to act
as fourth assistant until the Goth inst.
when he will take UP his new duties.
