CHINA SHOWS
FIRM SPIRIT
Baking Attempts of Russia
and Japan to Obtain
FoOthold i'm Manchuria

WASHINGTON, April n.-Reports Of
friction between the Russian and Chinese
troops in Manchuria have attracted the
attention Of the State Department. No Of
fetal information has been received on
the subject. 1t was expected that the di-
vision In the peace treaty Of the respon-
sibility for the policing of Manchuria for
even limited term between three nations
would result in just such friction as has
been reported. At a point on the railroad
connecting the Siberian road with Port
Arthur and Dalny a little distance below
Harbin the Japanese troops are in charge
of the line Above that point the road is
under the double protection of Russian
and Chinese railroad guards.
1t is understood here that both the Rus
slams and Japanese are looking forward
with apprehension to the time when they
must evacuate Manchuria proper, and in
each case there is a strong desire to in
sure as large holding as possible of the
material resources of this rich country
after the military forces are withdrawn.
One way of accomplishing this has been
to secure concessions for the exploitation
of timber lands, of mines and agricultural
lands and then to require the Chinese
Government to recognize these holdings
when they regain possession Of the coun-
try. But 1.-The Chinese Government has
shown a surprising degree of self-asser-
ton and independence in dealing with
these claims, and 1t is believed the friction
that is now said to have arisen in Man
churia results from the attempts being
made to induce the Chinese to change
their attitude.

And Malta-vita is good to eat. There's

of the Present Week
FINAL ACTION NEARING

WASHINGTON, April lin the Sem
ate today Aldrich expressed the opinion
that the end of the general debate on
the railroad rate bill would become ap-
parent before the end of the present
week and that then an agreement upon
a day for a vote could be reached. The
statement was made in response to
request by Tillman for such an agree
ment. 1t was announced that Spooner
would reply tomorrow to Bailey's speech
of yesterday.
The session was almost entirely de-
voted to the consideration of the con-
ference report on the bill providing for
the final settlement OF the affairs of the
five civilized tribes of Indians and in
connection with that report there was
a sharp controversy over an amend
ment inserted by the Senate which pro-
yided for the ratification OF The dis
bursements of $1S6,00O of the loyal
Seminole fund made by Special Agent
J. E. Jenkins and Administrator A. J.
Brown.
The debate turned upon the excep-
tional fact that the House was insist
ing upon the retention of Senate
amendment from which the Senate was
apparently anxious to recede. The de-
bate was characterized by a number of
spirited passages between Tillman on
the one side and Teller and Clapp on the
other.
Tillman said that If the Secretary of
the Interior had permitted himself to
be duped in the matter of payment of
the Indians he was not fit for the place.
He contended that suits for the re-
covery of the money should be prose-
cuted by the Government.
The question he said. replying to
Clapp, is whether some lawyer has not
come UP here from Indian Territory and
bamboozled the Government"
IF the Senator has been bamboozled
1t was when he was asleep at the switch
and let the provision go through the
Senate originally" responded Clapp
sharply.
IF the Senator from South Carolina
has been asleep at the switch" said
Tillman. just as pointedly. 'it was when
this bill was stolen from his commit
tee by your committee. The bill should
have been considered by the committee
on the five civilized tribes, of which I
am chairman"
"That," Clapp said in reply. would
have been a sorry spectacle"

His Heir.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Having OBJ
tanned a divorce from his wife on statu-
tory grounds. John Vanderbilt of
Orange, N. J., has instituted proceedings
in the New Jersey Court Of Chancery
to have his wife's son declared illegiti-
mate.
Vanderbilt is nearly so years old and an
invalid Soon after his marriage to Mrs.
]. J. johnson of New Providence he went
to a sanitarium. When he returned to
his home his wife showed him a boy baby,
saying the infant was born on October 20,
1903, and that his name was William God
frey Vanderbilt.
The aged man was not convinced, as he
retained lawyer and private dete ectives.
Their reports prompted him to institute
divorce proceedings. Vice Chancellor Gar
rison listened to the evidence and award
ed to Vanderbilt decree. In his decision,
which was announced in February, Chan
cellor Garrison did not refer to the legiti-
macy of the boy. and the aged petitioner
to-day began suit to have the child de-
clared illegitimate.
Vanderbilt is one of four heirs to the
estate of Susan Ann Hoagland and is dis

Right in the midst of this merry
season of spring, when out of its win
ter cocoon all femininity is futter-
ing with new, delicious absurdities upon
its head and milliners' hearts throb
with content, young Mrs. Annette Hart
zell, who keeps a chic little hat store
in the Emma Spreckels building, has
come TO saddest grief. She was arrest
ed yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Tom Gibson and Bailey upon charges
of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses.
The complaint is sworn to by John
A. Murphy; local agent for Edison,
Keith & Co. of Chicago. The firm deals
with these bapbles of straw, feather
and ribbon which women delight to put
on their heads. The complaint charges
that Mrs. Hartzell, in September, 1904.
ordered millinery to the amount of
s533.43 in the name of the firm of
"Rump1e & Hartzell," 241 Geary street.
It alleges that Mrs. Hartzell was at the
time not a partner of Mrs. Rumple. and
that when the latter refused the goods
the former took them from the Wells
Fargo office and transferred them to her
own little store at 923 Market street.
AS to the truth OF this complaint,
however, there seems to be great va
riety of opinion. Mrs. Hartzell herself

follows:

Just and reasonable terms. Such regulation

duct our modern industries and commerce. and
we believe in protecting il in its legitimate

We indorse the action Of President Roosevelt
in rigidly enforcing the antitrust laws placed
on the statute books OF the United States by
the Republican party.
The material. moral and intellectual progress
OF the people Of Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands under American administration is
more rapid and substantial than that ever ac-

thing. The charge is false. Here is what
happened:
In 1904 was contemplating going into part
nership with Mrs Rumple in a millinery
store at 241 Geary street. Thinking the thing
arranged, ordered goods to the amount of
1888 from Edson Keith & Co. of Chicago, in
whose employ had been for six years. Mean
While my project fell through, and when the
goods arrived was not Mrs. Rumples part

them of the situation and asking them to wire

dream to have a place of my own and 1 had
almost succeeded. l had a nice little store
business was good and now everything is gone
and I'm here in this terrible place.
ATTORNEY is INDIGNANT.
Here Mrs. Hartzell was overcome
with the picture of her shattered ideals
and, bowling her head, she shed few
discreet tears. Randolph v. Whiting,
her attorney, came in at this juncture,
and he gave his view with an indigna-
tion that was more than professional.
Its an outrage" he said. There was
not the vestige of criminal intent In
the way she took the goods. The very
fact that the firm accepted her note
showed that the transaction was regu-
| lar. 1t was just "a mean, ,despicable
maneuver to hurry her payments"
But Attorney Harry c.. Schaerzer. who
represents John A. Murphy in the case,
takes an altogether different view. She
is cool, shrewd, crooked woman he
said. She never did write to the firm
about the goods. but merely took them
under false pretenses" Although pre-
vented by professional etiquette from
saying any more, Schaerzer hinted that
