relatives here. They came via
Portland and attended the Lewis and

enjoyed. Mr.. Rethlefsen has resided
in Iowa for thirty-five years and he

state except its climate. He visited
here five years ago.

unable to present adequately their side
of the case. Railway lawyers in con-
slant attendance On the committee
wrote out the questions which were
propounded by the Senators and which
were calculated to confuse ar discon-

the contentious Of the railways, or to
draw out and assist him. if he was
favorable to the railways, private car
companies, ct al.
Of course no good will come of the

Gently been directed. If ever adequate
railway rate legislation passes the
Senate it will be only after terrific
fight in which the committee, of which
Senator Elkins is the distinguished
chairman, is beaten. 1t is regarded
by those who sincerely espouse the
cause of the people as against the rail
roads as a great misfortune that the
opportunity afforded the Senate com

SO shamelessly rrosttuted, although
little else was expected by those famil-

Reports which have been sent to
numerous newspapers, at the expense
of the railroads, dwell with great
emphasis on the fact that many ship
pers appeared before the senate COM
mittee and testified in favor of the
railway contentious and that major
ity of the shippers who testified de-
clared themselves opposed to any
change from the present system. 1t
seems almost unnecessary to point out
that most of the shippers who appeared
before the committee come from points
where the special differentials, which
have been SO generally condemned, are
granted. While it might be difficult
to prove, there will naturally be a sus-
pcion that shippers who testified in
favor of the existing order had their
own reasons FOR so doing.
The President has Stated emphatic

to be in common circulation in Cara
cas-. Secretary Hay replied immedi
ately with a warning to Mr.. Bowen not
to sanction the chages in any way,
and the president, who has the great
est faith in Mr. Loomis, made per-
functory investigation and dismissed
the charges. When. however, Mr..
Bowen learned that Secretary Hay had
sailed for Europe he reiterated the
charges to Secretary Taft who. acting
on instructions from the president, is
conducting very thorough investiga-
ton. Meanwhile, Secretary LOOMS
has preferred charges against Mr..
Bowen as the instigator of the publica
tion Of the charges. While the alleea
tons are all of like character, the
most important is that Mr.. Looms ac-
copied 500 check from the AS
phalt Trusts for promoting its interests
in Venezuela. Above and beyond the
fact that the charges affect the honor

cation remains in statu-quo, awaiting
the arrival of Minister Russell, recent
ly transferred from Bogota to Caracas,
and who was secretary of legation at
Caracas during Mr.. LOOMS entire
term as minister. So far as can be
learned Mr.. Bowen has signally failed
to make good his charges thus far, and
stands an excellent chance of having
his resignation as member of the
diplomatic service called for because
of his inability to defend himself
against the charges of Mr.. Loomis.
Mr.. Bowen claims, however, that all
this will be changed when Minister
Russell's testimony is taken.
The most important political and
economic question now on the tapis is
that of railway rate legislation. The
Senate committee on Interstate Com
merce has concluded its hearings on
that subject and has adjourned without
action, as was expected. These hear
ings have been a travesty from the be-
ginning. 1t has been entirely obvious
from the start that testimony deroga-

GOV. DOUGLAS HELD UP.
SUNNI Oned to Court for Alleged Violation
OF Speed Law.


BUzzARDs BAY. Mass. July 1O-Charged
with oveBpeeding his automobile through
the streets of this village, Gov. William L..
Douglas was held up by the officers sta
toned on the eighth Of mile stretch Of
highway between the railroad station and
post office late yesterday afternoon and
summoned to appear before the district
court In Bamstable on July H.
Gov. Douglas was not driving his big
touring car at the time, having but few
moments before given up the wheel to his
son-in-law, Mr.. Richmond.
Gov. Douglas, with his wife, daughter
and son-in-law left his summer home at
Monument Beach late in the afternoon
to enjoy the evening breezes along the
upper bay shore. According to the state
ment Of Mr.. Richmond the car was running
about eight miles an hour when the officers
jumped out into the middle of the road
and stopped the party.
The officers, who had been on duty since
early morning. had been kept busy holding
up drivers Of touring cars and other auto
mobiles and when the car containing Gov.
Douglas and his party came up the road
they called halt.
Gov. Douglas did not say anything.
Mr.. Richmond asked the officers II they
had not made a mistake in taking the time,
as the speedometer showed only about eight
miles an hour. The officers said that they
had not made any mistake, that the ma
chine was exceeding the speed limit, and
that they must do their duty and summon
the owner into court.

PATERSON, N. j.. July 1o.-An autoist
riding along the Passaic River to-day with
a woman companion lost control OF his
steering gear near Laurel Cemetery and
turned the machine into the river, which
at this point is very shallow. Before
the man, who was excited. could shut on

pants of the auto, which was numbered

they made shore.
A crowd soon collected and fifty hands
pulled on hawser that was attached to the
hind axle of the auto by farmer. The

car hitched on and also failed to move the
machine. Another car hove in sight, and
with the aid OF the two trolley cars and the
increasing crowd that came to the river
side to learn the trouble the auto was
brought to shore. Meanwhile the woman

OF the auto rescuers. While her clothing
was being dried she wore gingham dress

DIDN'T SALUTE OUR FORTS.
So No American Omcers 1T BaitIm ore Have

BALTIMORE. July l0.-As a result Of
strained official relations between Col.
Frank Thorpe, commandant at Fort Howard
and Capt. Gervais Of tina French cruiser
Jurien de la Graviere, which came into port
last week on friendly visit, no officer
OF the artillery district Of Baltimore has yet
stepped aboard the French vessel or doffed
his hat to its commander.
This failure to exchange courtesies ia
the outgrowth Of a technical misunder-
standing. When the big French ship arrived
last week Forts Howard Smallwood, Armi
stead and Carroll were passed without
the slightest recognition in the form Of an
Official salute from the warship.
Upon dropping anchor almost off Fort
McHenry, a practically obsolete fortifica-
ton 80 far as military importance is con-
oerned. the big guns of the Jurien de la
Graviere doomed out salute which was
responded to at Fort Howard, the head
quarters Of Col. Thorpe, commandment OF
the artillery district.
Lieut.. Col. Crawford's headquarters are
at Fort McHenry and q day or two follow
ing the Frenchman's arrival in port, Capt.
Gervais and his aide, Lieut.. Jules Cayrol,
who acts as interpreter for his chief, made
an official call upon Lieut.. Col. Crawford
and were most Hospitality received. The
officers Of the local post prepared to return
the visit attired in full uniform, the Lieu
tenant-Colonel heading the procession
just az they were about to leave the post
the order WAS promulgated that no officer
could visit the We rship, as the Captain of
that vessel had failed to comply with the
strict rules OF naval etiquette by ignoring

the misunderstanding or inconcerned.

LONDON, July ll.-Acoording to the
Morning P.st, after the mutineers who took
part in the recent outbreak at Lbau were
overpo wered, twenty-three Of them were
sentenced to be shot. A half dozen had
been executed, when an increase in the
mutiny induced the commandant to post
pone the execution of the remainder while
he telegraphed to st. Petersburg for in
structions. He received orders to shoot
all the prisoners.
Accordingly shooting party was formed
and another batch OF mutineers was drawn
up, but upon receiving the command to fire
the firing squad turned and shot their off,

A detachment Of Cossacks, who had been
held in reserve. were instantly ordered
to overpower the firing squad but they
met with resistance and fierce fight fol-
lowed. Twenty or thirty Cossacks we're
killed before the mutineers we're quelled.
Another incident illustrating the pre-

order, whereupon eight Of the reservst's
comrades set upon the officer and stabbed
him to death with their bayonets. The
