ARE NOT EXEMPT.
Prominent Attorney Thinks Beef Trust Arounent Has Insecure Foundation.

Washington, October N.-(Special.)-T following statement made today by a prominent government attorney, reveals in part the reason for the unsatisfac- tory nature of the beef trust report made by Commissioner of Corporations Garfield.
 'In my opinon the plea of the Chicago packers that they cannot be prosecuted on evidence alleged to have been secured by Commissioner Garfield against the beef trust will not hold water. for the reason that Commissioner Garfield did not exercise his prerogative of compelling witnesses to appear before him to testify. If he had subpoenaed witnesses there might be some claim to immunity from prosecution, as in the case of M. R. Rip ley of the Santa Fe railroad.
 '1 hold that all compulsory testimony laws under which the interstate com merce commission and the bureau of cor porations act do not carry immunity to voluntary witnesses If they did, nobody could possibly be prosecuted because every man against whom either sought a prosecution would immediately and vol untarily tell all he knew"

MUST HAVE RESPECT
 FOR NAVY UNIFORM
BONAPARTE DlSMISSES EMPLOYE BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO BOARD A MAN WHO WORE A SAILORS UNIFORM.

Washington, October N.-Secretary Bon aparte has directed the dismissal of an empoye of the Norfolk navy yard as result of complaint which came to the department that the employees, after hay ing agreed to lease two rooms of his house to machinists mate serving with the reserve torpedo fiotilla, refused to carry out the agreement because it would be necessary for the machinists mate to come to his residence dressed in the uniform of petty officer of the United States navy. The employe in his explana- ton to the department said that neither he nor his wife had any objection to the uniform, but owing to the prejudice which existed in the town of Berkley against sailors, he felt it due to his family in order to maintain their position in the town, that he should refuse to allow 8 sailor to reside in his house.
 After consideration of the employee s statement, Secretary Bonaparte holds: That a person whose attitude towards the uniform of enlisted men is what this employe states, is ineligible for employ ment by this department"
 It Is ordered that the services of the employe be dispensed with immediately

KAUFMAN DOWN
 IN 17TH ROUND
PUTS UP GAME FIGHT AGAINST THE VETERAN O'BRlEN, BUT WAS NEVER ABLE TO LAND EF- FECTIVELY.

San Francisco, October 27.-It took Jack oBrien, a veteran of 200 fights, seven teen rounds tonight to knock out Al Kaufman, who fought his second battle as professional.
 Kaufman took beating such as has seldom been received in the history of San Francisco fights. Kaufman, a husky 19-year-old boy. who is credited with d punch. could not land it on the shifty man from Philadelphia. OBrien's side stepping, ducking and general footwork was marvellous exhibition of skill. Kauf- man with all his strength could land only an occasional blow that never hit a vital spot. OBrien cool and self-possessed, danced in and out, hitting the youngster almost at will. Early in the fight Kauf- mans eye was closed and his nose com naenced to bleed In spite of the terrible punishment administered to him the boy kept after his experienced adversary, and on several occasions rallied and fought back in a manner that brought the spec tators to their feet.
 In the seventeenth round a succession of left punches to the jaw staggered Kaufman, and then O'Brien put over a right cross to jaw and the California boy fell to the mat, his head striking with great force.
 Kaufman showed that he Is strong, will
 ing and game to the core, but he lacks experience and skill as a boxer when compared with a man like OBrien.

IS FIRST PRESIDENT TO
 LEAVE AMERICAN SHORES

Washington. October 27.-so far as the official records show President Roose- welt on leaving the south on the West Virginia is the first of the chief execu- lives which this country has had to go beyond its territorial limits.
 The attention of some of the legal au- thorities here having been called to that fact, they were unanimously of the opinion that In going beyond the three mile limit, the President has in no sense vacated his office even temporarily. They point out that there Is really nothing in the constitution prohibiting the President from leaving American territory and the present case being on a national ship, the decks of which Is as much a part of American territory as the District of Columbia. he has not legally departed from the country. In fact some able
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-28

lawyers here express the opinion that even If the President should go to a foreign country the doctrine of extra ter ritoriality would extend to that country with him.
 But it does not say who shall say when inability shall exist or who shall deter mine when it exists. Chester A. Arthur was very much perturbed during the illness of President Garfield, when the question was raised as to whether the dying President was unable to perform the duties of his office. Of course dur ing the few days President Roosevelt is on the seas and beyond the Jurisdiction of the United States no question of his inability to act would be raised by any official and consequently will not have to be settled The interesting point is that the present case is novel in the history of the executives of the United States.

PLUNGES THROUGH
 KENTUCKY BRIDGE
NO ONE WAS KILLED, BUT SEW ERAL WERE INJURED IN ACCI- DENT CAUSED BY DERAILMENT OF THE TENDER.

Lexington, October 27.-Passengers on the Louisville Southern train No 3, due here at ' o'clock, had narrow escape tonight when the train was hurled from a bridge seven miles from here into creek, forty feet below. Twelve persons were injured, but none were killed.
 The injured: w. l.. Herndon, mail clerk Lancaster, Ky, injured internally ana badly crushed. Joseph Thompson, express messenger and baggagemaster, shoulder broken and head cut injuries serious Prof. M. A Scovell, Lexington, knee hurt. William Hutchison. conductor, Lex ington, shoulder broken, back hurt, cut abotu head. T. w. Hughes, Lexington, rib broken and arms and body bruised. Ed ward Bowling, Louisville, scalp wound and internally injured. J. w. Crossheld' Lawrenceburg, ankle twisted, badly bruised; J. w. Ripy, Lawrenceburg, arms and legs bruised; James Foster, Salt Lick, body bruised and legs injured; Thomas D.. Johnson, Burgin, ankle sprained and heck twisted; w. D. Donaldson, Eminence. slightly; R. w. Vaughan, Lexington, pack hurt.
 With one exception all of the passengers were slightly injured, and badly shakeh up. The tender, mail and baggage cars and smoker were splintered and thrown into the creek, and the bridge destroyed entirely.
 A more serious accident was probably averted by the presence of mind Of the engineer, A. Phillips, who escaped in- jury. The tender of the engine jumped the track about 100 yards from the bridge, and realizing that if the engine plunged in the whole train ''ould be pulled in after it, he threw the throttle wide open and barely succeeded in get ting the engine across the bridge when the sides of the bridge were battered down by the ploughing cars. The mail was saved. but all the baggage was de- stroyed or damaged by water.

PRESIDENTS BOAT
 HAS CLOSE CALL CoIIides With the British
 Steamer Esparta ESPARTA WAS TO BLAME Roosevelt Is Now Safely on the West Virginia, and Pensacola Receives
 Wireless Message From
 the Vessel.
ESPARTA WAS TO BLAME

United States Flagship West Virginia.
 october 27, via New Orleans, October N-
 At Il o'clock last evening through confu-
 sion of signals the fruit steamer Esparta
 collided with the lighthouse tender Mag
 nolia which was conveying the President,
 Secretary Loeb and Dr. Rixey to the
 cruiser West Virginia. The rail and port
 bow of the Magnolia were damaged and two or three holes made in the hull below
 the water line. No one was hurt
 The Magnolia immediately on being
 struck was beached, her bow being high
 and dry After a careful examination of
 the damage to the vessel 1t was evident
 that there was no danger and the Presi- dent and his party went to bed. Major Craghil of the United States engineers was aboard the Magnolia. His ship, the Ivy, a sister ship of the Magnolia, had preceded the Magnolia and was some
 distance ahead.
 A boat was immediately put off for the
 nearest telephone, about a mile and a
 half, and order given to head the Ivy off
 at Pilot-town, and have her return for
 the President and his party. The trans fer was made at 8 oclock this morning. The vessel got under way immediately and the West Virginia was boarded on
 schedule time.
 The captain of the Esparta refuses to
 make any statement to the public, as his
 vessel is under British flag and he must submit his report to the British consul. The United Fruit company to which the vessel is chartered, however. tonight is-
 sued the following statement:
 Esparta Changed Course. "The Esparta sighted a vessel after ward found to be the Magnolia The Mag nola blew two whistles, signifying her | intention of passing to starboard, which was answered by the Esparta. which lat ter vessel continued on up the river, and at the time of such signal was within 100 | feet of the west bank of the river. About | two minutes after the Magnolia blew the | first signal; she blew one whistle sfgni- | flying her intention of changing her course | and crossing to the inside of the Esparta | The pilot Of the Esparta seeing danger | in such action. blew whistles and also the | danger signal of three whistles, slgnifying | the danger of such move on the part | of the Magnolia, as the pilot of the Es- | parta was aware of the fact that there was not enough room between the vessel and the bank of the river for the Mag nolld to pass, as ne had taken his ship in as close as possible so as to leave plenty of room In the middle of the river for the Magnolia, and had the Magnolia adhered to her original signal and inten- ton of passing to starboard would have
 passed clear as the river was oyer half a mile wide at that point. Instead of this the Magnolia hauled to port and the two
 vessels coided. The Esparta struck the Magnolia on the port side about twenty feet abaft the bows and considerable damage was done the Magnolia"

TO RIGHT A WRONG.

The News has unthinkingly wrong
ed a high-minded citizen of Palatka
who enjoys the merited reputation of
minding his own business.
We refer to Mr.. H. A. b. McKem-
zie, editor of the Times Herald.
In an editorial paragraph last
week, referring to the "LoOney and
Foolish" letters which have appear,
ed in our contemporary, the News
stated that they are rrrarted 10
have been written by II colorrd man
named Osgood.'
Our injury to Mr.. Mckenzie WAS
in the implication that he would uc-
cept for publication an article from
colorcd man. This, of course, the
News knows he would not do, know
ingly.
In this case the News is now salts
fled that Mr.. Mckenzie did not do
so even unwittingIy, for the News is
also satisfied that no colored man
wrote the article in question.
Mr.. Mckenzie is IL high-mindrd,
courteous southern gentleman, one
who holds tenaciously to the accept
ed southern standard of relationship
between the races. He could not,
therefore, permit the use of his col
umns to a colored writer for purpos-
es of puplic discussion.
While disclaiming any purpose of
wOunding our neighbor, the New $
desires to express its regret that it
has unthinkingly been the means OF
wronging a gentleman and fellow
publisher with whom its relations
have always been most cordial.
1t also trusts this note of apology
may overtake the wrong and make
good.

THE CORK TREE.
Growth, Stripping and Preparation
Of Its Bark.

Growth, Stripping and Preparation
of Its Bark.
The methods in vogue In barking ana
harvesting the cork in Spain and Por-
tugal are pretty much the same. Inc
barking operation Is affected when the
tree has acquired sufficient strength to
withstand the rough handling 1t re-
celyes during this operation, which
takes place when 1t has attained the
fifteenth year Of its growth. After the
first stripping the tree Is left In this
juvenescent state to regenerate, sub
sequent strlppings being effected Mt Ill
tervals of not less than three years,
and under this process the tree will
continue to thrive and bear for upward
of $50 years. II the bark Is not re-
moved artiticially, it will on maturity
sDlit and diSmantle Itself This Is
caused by the fresh growth of bark
forming underneath.
The cork Of the first barking Is
termed corcho bornio-borniZO, or viz
gin cork. The cork Of the second strip
ping is called pelas. or secondary cork.
The work Of removing the bark from
the tree is performed In summer by
men, who are paid at the rate OF
IS. Cd. day. The Instruments used
for the work IRE an Ak. u lever and a
handsaw for the cutting of transversal
Incisions. The first process through
which the bark passes after stripping
Is that Of boiling. This Is sometimes
done In the woods. but more frequent.
" In the cork factory, in large, special,
ly constructed caldrons, In which the
bark Is left to boil for upward Of an
hour. This seething process Increases
the thickness and elasticity Of the cork
and at the same time the tannin and
other fecuient substances generally ex.
listing in the bark are desiccated.-Lon-
don Queen.
