MORGAN SEESPRESlDENT'
Roosevelt Over Chinese
Railroad.

Oyster Bay. n. Y. Aug. so.--J. Pier
pont Morgan had an extended confer
ence yesterday with President Roose-
Welt. The conference related to mat
tiers pertaining to the Santon-Hankow
railroad in China and its probable dis
position by the present owner, the
American China Development COM
pany. The firm of j. p. Morgan s.
Co. practically controls the road and
its concessions.
Mr.. Morgan visited the president sew
eral weeks ago on a similar mission.
Subsequently Sir Chengtung Liang
Cheng, the Chinese minister, had a
conference with the president on the
same subject. No definite disclosures
We're made regarding either of the col
f%erences.
The Chinese government has proposed
TO the American China Development
company that it sell the road and it's
concessions to China, the price gener-
ally regarded as close to the precise
figure being 81, 100000. So far as can
be earned the directors of the COM
pany have not passed finally upon the
offer from the Chinese government. 1t
is said to be the intention of the d.
rectors to hold a meeting today in Jer-
ses7 City, the American China De-
velopment company being a New Jer-
sey corporation, and it is likely that at
the meeting the question of the dispo-
sttion of the road will be determined
definitely.

GRAFTON of a monetary remuneration.
There was further depreciation in the

ing rumors regarding the decision Of
the council held yesterday under the

A PRISON SCANDAL.
Mrs. Rogers, Murderess, Entertains j
Her CelI-Testimony at State In
v~estioation of Vermont.

Bellows Falls, VT, Aug. 3O.-Sensa-
tlonal testimony concerning affairs at
the state prison at Windsor was given
at Saturdays hearing of the inyeStiga-
ton of public institutions, now being
held by the state. Horace Boyd, a
prison officer. testified regarding the
alleged conduct of Mrs. Mary M. Rog-
ers, the Bennington woman who was
convicted of the murder of her hus-
band, Marcus Rogers, in August, 1902,
but not hanged.
Boyd declared that Vernon Rogers,
a convict who is serving a sentence Of
sixteen years, had told him that he
(Rogers) had access last spring to Mrs.
Rogers cell By means of a key which
he had made III the shoeshop of the in
%stitution.
The convict is not a relative of Mrs.
Rogers. Officer Boyd further stated
that Rogers and the condemned muir
deress had not conducted themselves
properly
After Boyd had been dismissed from
the witness stand the state made pub
lie certain evidence which had been
taken in executive session by the spe-
cial committee appointed by the legis-'
lature to investigate public institutions.
l.. w. Cakes, former superintendent
of the prison, testified at that session
that Rogers had informed him that last
March Fred Morse, another prisoner,
had given him (Rogers) a key which
fitted Mary Rogers cell.
The state officials also made public
a statement made by Mrs. Rogers in
writing to Matron Durkes of the prison.
In the statement Mrs. Rogers said she,
had seen Vernon Rogers frequently in
the corridor. The woman's statement
then told of frequent meetings which
she and Rogers had in her cell. The
statement corroborated other testimony
