WARRANT FOR LAW SON
NOTED BOSTON FINANCIER
CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL LIBEL

BOSTON, November H.-Counsel repre-
senting Charles w. Barron stated today
that after a private hearing Judge
Wentworth of the municipal court had de-
cided to issue a warrant for the arrest of
Thomas w. Lawson on a charge of crimi-
nal libel preferred by Mr.. Barron.
The case results from statements alleged
to have been made in a magazine article
by Mr.. Lawson, and the question of the
issuance of a warrant has been the subject
of hearings covering a period of several
weeks.
Mr.. Barron, the complainant, is proprietor
of bureau for the distribution of f1nan-
cial news in this city.
Shortly before noon the court issued the
warrant in accordance with It's decision,
and an officer was sent to serve the docu-
ment on Mr.. Lawson.
Before the warrant had been served an
agreement between counsel was effected
whereby Mr. Lawson is to appear in court
next Saturday and submit to the service
of the warrant. Meanwhile counsel for Mr..
Lawson stated the defendant in this suit
will apply for a warrant for the arrest of
Mr.. Barron for criminal libel, in matter
printed in the market sheets issued by Mr..
Barrons bureau.

FRESH BOYCOTT BEGUN
WAR ON AMERICAN GOODS AT
SINGAPORE.

Cable advices to the State Department
from Singapore, Straits Settlements, bring
the bad news that the anti-American boy
colt in that quarter. which was thought to
be practically suppressed, has, on the con-
trary, taken on a decidedly serious aspect.
Many anonymous letters have been receiv-
ed, probably by merchants who have dealt
in American goods, which have had the eff
feet to completely parayze the trade, which
in Singapore is very largely conducted
through Chinese merchants 1t is feared
by the State Departments informant that
this is only the beginning of further serious
trouble.
The State Department finds it very diff
cult to deal with this phase of the boycott,
for the reason that it exists not in China
proper. but in a British dependency, which
can scarcely be called to account, as was
the Chinese government. The only feasible
course appears to be to request the Chi
nese government to use its moral influence
with Chinese subjects outside of China to
desist from further attack upon trade from
the United States.

INSANE MOTHERS ACT.
Hurled Five-Year-Old Son Out of
Third-Story Window.

CHICAGO November 14.-Becomfng sud-
denly insane Mrs. Benjamin Giest. living
at 113 Wells street, this morning hurled
her fye-year-old son Lucas out of third
story window and then attempted to kill
herself with a revolver. The screams of
Mrs Giest alarmed her landlady Mrs. Lii
liam Barton, who ran into Mrs. Giests
apartment to see what was the matter.
Mrs Giest was running around the room,
flourshing a revolver. while the little boy
was begging her not to kill herself. Mrs
Giest had lit every gas jet in the place
and demanded that Mrs. Barton bring her
more lamps. Mrs. Barton declared that she
did not have any more, and Mrs. Giest at
tempted to shoot her.
Mrs. Barton. closely pursued, fled to the
sidewalk and made her escape. Mrs. Giest
then rushed back to her rooms, and, pick
ing up the little boy, tossed him out of the
window. The boy, as he fell, narrowly
missed Miss Lola Woods, employed in de-
partment store on the first floor, and
crashed into a basket of crockery which
had been left on the pavement
The child was taken to the County Hos
pital, where 1t was declared that he viii
probably recover. The mother was over
powered after desperate struggle, during
which she attempted suicide with the re-
volver. She was taken to the Detention
hospital for the Insane.

SENTIMENTAL RELIGIONIsTS
Unique Purists Scored by Chicago
Dominic in Address

CHICAGO, November 14.-So-called SEN
timental religionists'' We're scored by the
Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus, president of
Armour Institute of Technology, yesterday
in address al the memorial meeting to
Sir George Williams, founder of the Young
Mems Christian Association in the associa-
ton building auditorium.
.'Sir George Williams was great" said
DIR. Gunsaulus, because he had the quail
ties of youth, its enthusiasm and undefeat-
ed energy. He was square and fair and
personally gave tone to the work which
he began by holding ideas of honor and
duty more firmly than most sentimental
religionists have done.
He knew that the young man, who re-
ceives impressions readily, must have ex-
preston and not repression. He saw that
the Bible was the young mans book and
ministered to his spiritual freedom, quick
ened conscience the highest aspirations.
The auditorium of the central associa-
tion was crowded with men of all classes
and ages in honor of the memory of the
great Englishman who founded the organf-
cation in 1874, and who died recently in
London at the age of eighty-four years.
Resolutions expressing regret and pledg-
ing support to the principles which Sir
George held fundamental to the society
were adopted.

CONTEST OVER TRANSFER.
New Point in Railway Ethics in Chi
cago Justice Court

CHICAGO, November IA new point
in transfer ethics was raised yesterday
when Robert Morris, divinity student in
Chicago University, was arraigned before
Justice Callahan on a charge of offering
on Cottage Grove avenue car a transfer
which he had found in the street. Morris
was arrested by one of the detectives of
the City Railway Company who saw him
attempt to use the transfer. He admitted
he had found the transfer in the street and
that he knew it was illegal to use it, but
he said he could not see the justice of the
law.
He contended that every nickel spent by
the patrons of the street car company pur-
chased the maximum eide on the COM
panys lines, and that IL the original pur-
chaser did not care to use all OF that ride
1t could be no moral offense for another
person to use what some one else had
willfully thrown away.
Justice Callahan held that to ride on a
transfer that had been found in the street
was no less than robbery, inasmuch as the
company was deprived of a nickel that
otherwise would have been spent.
Then you might as well say that rob
the storekeepeEs when give away an

WILL SOON BE DECIDED
Whether the Panama Canal Shall Be
Lock or Sea Level,

The all-imoprtant question whether the
Panama canal will be sea-level or lock
canal will have to be decided within very
few days. All the members of the board
of consulting engineers have returned to
Washington and the board met in full this
morning. 1t is probable the board will
meet every day this week until the final
conclusion has been reached and the final
vote of the members will have been taken
Such secrecy has been kept up all during
the meeting that it is as yet impossible to
make definite statement about the result
After it has been decided which type of
canal shall be adopted short report will
be made to that effect without going into
details. By that time the leave OF absence
of most of the foreign members of the
board will have expired and they will leave
for their respective countries In the last
days of this month.

RUSSIA MUST MANAGE ALONE.
Germany's Policy Not to Interfere
With Neighbor's Affairs.

BERLIN, November 14.-The attention of
the foreign office was called today to the
belief held in st. Petersburg that an agree
ment exists whereby Germany and Austria
would assist Russia, If it became necessary,
to suppress movement for Polish au-
tonomy. The foreign office says nothing of
the kind has occurred and that nothing of
that nature will occur. Emperor William
has had no communication on the subject
with Emperor Nicholas or the Russian gov
ernment.
The Polish question, SO far as Germany is
concerned, does not exist outside of Ger
many. If, however, the Russian Poles rise
up and the movement for Polish autonomy
spreads to the Polish provinces of Russia,
the latter will firmly suppress it in the
Prussian- Polish provinces. But Russia
must manage her own difficulties, as it Is
the fixed policy of Germany not to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of her neigh
borS.

First Heard of Alexander Account.


In the fall of 1902 he first heard of the
]. w. Alexander No 8 account CHE s6s5,000
loanD 1t was brought to his attention by
President Alexander, who said that he (Al-
exander) and Jordan had incurred large eX-
penses on behalf of the society to settle
suits that were interfering with business
purchase stock which had been bid up to
| fictitious values and that was being used
as an argument against the company, and,
lastly, political contributions.
OF the latter Mr.. Hyde knew of but one,
and that was the one to the last national
republican committee The contribution
was asked of Mr.. Hyde by Mr.. Frick, who
suggested it for the benefit of the society.
The money in this No 3 account was pro-
cured from the Mercantile Trust Company
on letter Mr.. Alexander had Mr. Hyde
write to the president of this institution. Mr.
Hyde said the letter practically placed him
IN the position of a guarantor.
Asked in connection with the Squire ac-
count, If he did not inquire where the
moneys of the Equitable Life went Mr.
Hyde said that that was an illustration TO
show that he was unfortunate in relying on
others he thought would do right
Vice President of Trust Companv
Mr.. Hyde became vice president of the
Mercantile Trust Company in 1903, and
received salary of $4,000, which was
raised in 1904 to $4,000
MI. LIZ NC oeiio ie not look UP the j.
w. Alexander No 8 account because
when he became an officer of the
! society he did not try to disturb existing
conditions. He familarized himself with
| the business and then assumed control of
| the new business as it came in
credit of $4,000 on the No. 8
account, 1t was brought out, was the profit
| on participation in Lackawanna Steel
Mr. Hyde said the participation was offered
! TO him and he referred the offer to j. H
| Hyde and associates, for whom Mr. McIn-
| tyre acted.
| Mr. Hyde, however, assumed the liabili-
| ties of the syndicate participation, and If
| there had been loss the Equitable Life
| would have lost nothing, as it was Mr.
| Hyde's personal finances that would have
become involved
| Other credits Mr.. Hyde knew nothing
about. He then said that last summer
when the banking authorities called for
the repayment of the loan which the EQui-
| table Life had repudated. the individuals
were looked to for 1t. Mr.. Alexander and
Mr. Jordan raised as much money as they
could and then Mr.. Hyde paid the balance,
| $4,000. He incidentally thought he was
generous in this, as he had never received
| any benefit from the loan
