BORGES FOUND GUILTY
ON ONE COUNT OF CoNsPIRACY
AND Is OF LARCENY.

BOSTON. June 9-Guflty on one count of
conspiracy and seventy-three counts of lar
ceny was the jury's verdict today in the
case OF Ferdinand e. Borges. whose trial
has been in progress for the past three
weeks in the superior court.
Borges had been indicted In company with
former Representative William D. Owen OF
Indiana on 126 counts Of larceny and two
of conspiracy In connection with pronot-
Ing the Ubero Plantation Company of Bos-
ton and Mexico. Owen has not been ar
rested.
Sentence was deferred.
Upon the two counts OF conspiracy the
jury disagreed upon the first and found
the defendant guilty upon the second. On
the first So counts Of larceny disagreement
was reported. and upon the 70 remaining
Judge White complimented the jurymen
upon the result of their work. He said
their decision was just and that any other
finding would have been miscarriage Of
justice. He scored Borges as having come
east for the deliberate purpose of stealing
the money of unsuspecting people"
During the proceedings Borges was APP
parently unconcerned.
Borges was charged with selling stock
in the Ubero Plantation Company by hold
ing out false inducements as to the char
acter Of the company. which owned sew
erai hundred acres of land in Mexico. The
advertising literature described profitable
growths of coffee, rubber, pineapple and
other tropical fruits. An investigation by
stockholders resulted In the appointment of
a receiver and subsequently the arrest Of
Borges. During the trial 1t was brought out
that the plantation lands were generally
uncultivated and that the samples of fruit
which the company alleged were grown
on the plantations were bought at city
fruit stores. Former Representative Owen
was alleged to be the business partner of
Borges. He is under indictment in the
same number of counts as was Borges.

''Marriage?" asked Miss Louise Lee Har-
din of Denver president of the association,
why marriage is no longer everything in
a woInans life. 1t Is getting relegated in
the mind of woman to Its true place In the
propoTtionate scale of things and Is be-
coming an incident. Marriage is but an
incident in the life of man, why should
1t not be so in the life of a woman? Wo-
men of today must have other interests in
life besides the hearth. and 1 think 1t is a
very good thing for woman herself and for
the nation as a whole that we are becoming
weaned to some extent from the idea that
marriage is the be-all and end-all of q wo-

HUNTING FOR MOTIVE OF CRIME
Jealousy or Revenge Suggested

NEW YORK. June 9.LThe identity Of the
murderer of Mrs. Alice Kinnan, who was
struck down on the stoop of her home In
the Borough of the Bronx last
night. was still mystery to the police to-
day The motive which prompted the muir
der was also unsolved, but the police were
at work upon theory that it might have
been Jealousy.
Mrs. Kinnan lived with her mother, Mrs.
Louisa NJ. Stanton. aged eighty-five, in an
old and decaying mansion. surrounded by
lawns and shrubbery. at Washington ave-
nue. and 1S9th street, in the Bronx.
At o'clock last night she was called to
the door by an unknown person. who, with
out word. struck her fatal blow on the
head. The murderer then disappeared. but
left piece Of gas pipe with which the
murder was done.
Mrs. Stanton, the victims mother. is so
aged and so much shocked by the crime as
to be Of little service in locating the muir
derer.
Jealousy or Revenge.
That jealousy or revenge may have been
the motive which prompted the assault
was suggested to the police by the dis
covery that contractor named Clinchy
died In Mrs. Kinnans home while calling
upon ner TWO weeks ago. ana ddso lhaI
Mrs. Human had employed lawyer to
bring suit for divorce from her husband
from whom she separated eight years ago,
Tho police today were trying to find man
who is said to have been frequent caller
on Mrs. Kinnan during the last two months.
1t was said today that Clinchy had been
visitor at Mrs. Kinnan's home for five
years against the wishes of his family.
The mystery in which the case is hidden
Is deepened by the fact that the where
abouts of Mrs. Kinnans husband is I'M
known. After trying in vain for two years
to find him and bring suit against him
Mrs. Kfnnan believed him to be dead until
three weeks ago, when he was reported to
be in Brooklyn. The search for him was
renewed by Mrs. Kinnan's lawyer, but with
out result.
The police took up the search for him to-
day in the hope that he could give them
a clue to either the motive of the crime
or the identity of the murderer.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


The United States cruiser Marblehead has
sailed north from Panama.
1t was admitted this afternoon that the
cruiser Marblehead has sailed from Pan
anna for San Jose, Guatemala, at the re-
quest OF the Stats Department. to investi-
gate the movement OF the American steam
er Empire. which Is reported to have land
ed recruits from San Francisco and arms
and ammunition for the use of the revolu-
ton against President Cabrera.
Dfsquieting dispatches reached the State
Department today from Guatemala con-
corning the revolution. The enemies Of the
present administration are active In several
parts OF the republic. but 1t Is impossible
TO discover the exact causes Of the move
ment and the directing force.
Both the Salvadorean and Mexican Dor
ders have been lending support to the reyo-
luton, and 1t is the desire Of this govern
ment that the Marblehead shall find cut
exactly what the situation Is and have q
care that there be no participation in the
revolution by Americans which may In
voive the United States in international dis
pute.
The Empire coaled at Corinto, Nicaragua,
fore sailing for San Jose, according to
dispatches from Panama. There was no
attempt to conceal the fact that the steam
err. which was flying the American flag.
carried arms and ammunition. The vessel
normal crew numbers only thirteen men.
The cruise Of the Marblehead raises an
interesting question as to the right of the
United States government to run down
and seize a United States merchant vessel
under the conditions supposed to surround
the Empire on her present mission. No Of
fetal statement Is obtainable as to the
Marblehead's instructions. but 1t Is be-
lieved that she will not hesitate to instant
ly stop any filibustering operations by any
American ship. basing her action on the
general charge of misuse of the flag.
If the Empire had gone out of an Ameri-
can port laden simply with ammuni-
ton and small arms and with only
her usual crew, she could not be interfered
with, having a perfect right to engage In
that business as a merchant carrier. But
as she left San Francisco with arms in her
hold and men aboard aside from her crew,
constituting a hostile expedition directed
against a friendly nation, then the COM
mander undoubtedly was guilty of a breach
of the neutrality laws and his ship is sub
ject to seizure wherever she may be found.
Even II the Empire did not have the hos
tile expedition aboard when she sailed
from the United States, but embarked the
men at Nicaraguan port, she is still sub
ject to seizure by an American warship II
she is flying the American flag, Sas reported
from Panama She would then be pirate
or filibuster, pure and simple. and the
captain of the Marblehead would undoubt-
eddy seize the ship and crew without hest
tation and bring them for trial and con-
domination to the nearest United States
port

ALL WANT TO SPEAK
DEBATE ON AaRARIAN CUES
TON RESUMED BY DONNA.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 9-The de-
mand for an opportunity to speak on the
agrarfan question In the lower house OF
parliament II 30 pressing that the rule
against the house sitting on Saturday
has been abandoned and the debate on
this important subject was resumed to-
day
Every member seems to feel that he is
expressly charged to make known the
views OF his constituents upon this burn
ing issue, and the torrent of words appar-
emily IL still inexhaustible. The leaders
OF the constitutional democrats, who re-
alfze the necessity for action. dare not
propose to limit the debate, as that would
SAVIOR of restriction OF the sacred right of
free speech.
A month has now elapsed since parlia-
nnent met. and the agrartan question Is not
yet consigned to q committee. which must
be done In order that the details of the bin
may be elaborated. Some OF the members
already have spoken q dozen times. adj
vancing the same ideas over and over
again. The few conservatives no longer
consent the constitutional democrats, who
feel certain that their program viii pre-
vail, are abandoning the field to the radi-
csis. VINO continue to urge the full nation
alization OF land.
M. Annikin. one of the peasant leaders,
was the principal orator today. He de-
ciared that the theory that the peasants
are conservative Is utterly failacious. They
were now as firmly convinced that the land
belongs to them as they were in 1861 that
servitude should cease.
The peasants, he added. were utterly IN
capable of grasping the idea of private
property in land. He concluded with the
following menace:
we were elected to give the people land
and liberty. We find 1t is necessary to ex-
propriate private property and confiscate
the land of the crown and church. The
government must beware or soon 1t will
be too late and the people Will take what
the government refuses to give"
