BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOSTON, Nov. 14.-Counsel repre-
senting Charles w. Barron stated to-
day that after private hearing today
Judge Wentworth of the municipal
for the arrest of Thomas w. Lawson
on a charge of criminal 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 hear
ings covering a period of several
weeks.
Mr.. Barron, the complainant, is pro-
prietor of a bureau for the distribution
of financial news in this city.
Shortly before noon the court issued
the warrant in accordance with its de-
cision and an officer was sent to serve
the document on Mr.. Lawson.
Before the warrant had been served
an agreement between counsel was eff
fected whereby Mr.. Lawson is to ap-
pear in court next Saturday and sub
init to the service of the warrant.
Meanwhile counsel for Mr.. Lawson
stated the defendant in this suit will
apply for warrant for the arrest of
Mr. Barron for criminal libel in mat
ter printed in the market sheets issued
by Mr.. Barron's bureau.
In statement issued after the hear
ing today Mr.. Barron said:
''The warrant is based upon maga-
zine article which appeared in October
and upon threats and attacks in pre-
vious magazine articles and in circu-
lars issued by Mr.. Lawson"
Mr.. Lawson, in a statement. said that
the present action was an echo of a
civil suit for 100000 damage for libel
brought against him by Barron in 1900
and not yet tried.

ROOT WORKING ON TRAIFF
Hopes to Have Proposition for Ar
ranJement With Germany to
Submit t. Congress
BY Associated Press.

ny ASSOclate0 PreSS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Secretary
Root is giving earnest attention to the
tariff relations between Germany and
the United States. The secretary hopes
to have some concrete proposition to
submit to congress during the coming
session, but it is evident that 1t can
not be presented much before the next
calendar year as number OF confer
ences will probably be necessary be-
tween the executive branch and indi-
Vidual legislators as preliminary to
the execution of Secretary Roots plan
to submit only such treaty or pro-
posal as is reasonably certain to secure
a majority in congress or perhaps Il
two-thirds vote in the senate.
1t is probable that an attempt will
be made Immediately to reach a pro-
visional arrangement which shall pre-
vent an open rupture or tariff war be-
tween the two nations pending the
conclusion of negotiations of a new
treaty.

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
PROTEST AGAINST LEGISLATION
ON FREIGHT RATES
Men Declare That This Would Result
In Lessenlng Earnings of the Conn.,
panies and Consequently Their
Salaries Would BE Reduced
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-An earn
est protest was made to the president
today against proposed railroad freight
rate legislation. The protest was filed
by representatives of the five great
labor organizations connected with
railroading-the engineers, fremen,
conductors, switchmen and trainmen.
The members of the delegation which
called on the president represented the
several organizations. They pointed
out to him that railroad legislation
logically meant the lowering of rates.
This, they contended, will be followed
by a lessening of the earning power
of railroads and consequently by re-
duction, eventually, in the wages of
railroad employees.
The delegation which called on the
president came from twelve different
states and represented all of the larger
systems of railroads. President
Roosevelt assured the delegation that
1t was not his purpose or the purpose
of those who favored railroad rate reg
ulation to do anything that might in
1ure the railroads of the country, or to
in1ure the employees of the railroads
He said 1t was his purpose that all
classes-railroads, shippers and en-
ployes-should have perfectly fair treat
ment.

VladivostOk Now Is
Storm Center
State of War Has Been
Declared There
Order ls Partially Restored, II Is
Reported, but the Crisis Has
Not Yet Been Passed.
Mutiny Rumored
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 14.-A state
of war has been declared in Vladi-
vostok. Private advlces say that the
Chinese quarter has been entirely de-
stroyed but that the uprising is now
under control.
In spite of the complete embargo
placed on all kilograms from vladi-
vostok, the news of the outbreak there
leaked out of the navy and war de-
partments and became generally known
throughout the city. Few details were
available to the general public and the
city was filed with the widest rurnors
as to what was occurring in the eastern
fortress One report circulated on the
bourse today had the entire garrison
and the sailors of all the ships in the
harbor in mutiny. This, following on
the heels of the mutiny at Cronstadt,
contributed to the Generalization of the
exchanges.
While the information received by
the Associated Press goes to show
that order was today partly restored,
large part of the garrison stood firm
and the crisis has not yet been passed.
Fears are expressed in admiralty and
general staff circles that mob violence
has flared out again and this will
necessitate a further resort to armed
force. Martial law has been pro-
claimed and the authorities are conf
dent of their ability to stamp out any
disorders.

RICH MAN GOES TO JAIL
Alaskan Mining Operator Refuses to
Pay Judgment for Four
Hundred Dollars
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Nov. AS. Kampe, pres
ident of the Independent Mining com
pany of Nome, a well-known Alaskan
mining operator, a money-lender In
San Francisco and reputed to be worth
100000, went to the county Jail today
rather than pay a judgment of $40O
found against him some years ago. AL
though he usually wears much jewelry
and many diamonds, Kampe did not
have any when he went into court.
He said he had sold them, but did not
know to whom. His salary of $4,000 a
year from the mining company, he
stated, had been drawn for three years
in advance. He declared he was PEN
niless, but admitted that he lived at
the best hotels. After the hearing Su-
perior Judge Yakey ordered him to go
to Jail or furnish 5000 bonds for his
appearance in court when wanted. The
judgment is held by w. c. Rutter and
is an old one. Kampe was in Seattle
after trip to Nome.

BURTON FILES DEMURRER
II 1t Is Sustained the Accused Sen.
ator viii Escape Convic-
tion
BY Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.-Counsel for
United States Senator Burton of KAN
sas, who was indicted by the federal
grand jury last Friday, today filed a
demurrer to the indictment. The
grounds upon which the demurrer is
based is as follows:
l. Fails to allege in specific terms
what Senator Burton did for the Rialto
Grain company at Washington.
q Fails to state how his action bene-
fitted the Rialto people.
B. Fails to show matter under con-
sideration at Washington was a matter
over which the postmaster general has
jurisdiction.
A. Fails to state that Burton knew
the acts charged against him would
influence the action of the postoffice
department.
1t is likely that Judge Vandever of
the United States circuit court will
render a decision on the demurrer to-
morrow.
In the event the demurrer is sus-
tained Senator Burton will be ac-
quilted, as the statute of limitations
in reference to his case causes the time
during which he may be tried to eH-
pire on Nov. 1S. and no other indict-
ment may be returned after that date

FLAMES ON THE CAPITOL
Rubbish and Leaves Ignited, but No
Harm Is Done to the
Building

SACRAMENTO, Nov 14.-At 9:45
o'clock tonight a young man passing
along Tenth street saw flames on top
Of the capitol building. He notified the
watchmen in the office of the state
treasurer, who investigated. The wind
had gathered a small pile of leaves and
rubbish upon the stonework and a
spark from one of the office chimneys
had ignited it, The watchmen had no
trouble in extinguishing the fire with a
little water.
Had the flames caught upon the cop
per roofing instead of the stonework
1t is barely possible that the timbers
might have been heated until they
caught fire. Under the conditions to-
night there was not the slightest
damage.
