Bertha krupp - Hearst Accepts
Democratic Nomination.
Sunday was Charles e. Magoon's
first day at the palace as governor OF
Cuba and passed busily but quietly.
Governor Magoon said to the press
that he was looking forward with con-
fdence to a peaceful administration.
He expressed the warmest apprecia-
don of the work accomplished by
Messrs. Taft and Bacon.
The governor sees no reason to an
ticipate further sudden changes in the
situation. He is of the opinion that
now governmental matters will be COM
monplace compared with the exciting
and rapid developments of the past
two months
Governor Magoon has announced
his decision of postponing the appoint
ment of the cabinet officers indefinite
ly. His intention is to consider
thoroughly the conditions and needs
Of each department. This can be
better accomplished at the outset by
having the subordinate heads report
direct to himself. BY this method the
governor believes he will be better
enabled to select the ministers best
fitted for the respective posts.
There will be a strict accounting Of
the expenditures incurred by the Am
erican army of occupation as charge
able to Cuba.
American Policy In Cuba.
Thy revolutionists committee, with
which the American commissioners
dealt in inducing the rebels to cease
hostilities and negotiate peace, on
Friday at Havana conferred with
Governor Taft, Assistant Secretary Of
State Bacon and Charles E. Magoon
who is to succeed Mr.. Taft as pro-
visional governor, and later expressed
satisfaction with the position taken
by the provisional government.
Headed by Alfredo Zayas, the COM
mittee visited Governor Taft to re-
quest him to declare the policy of the
United States toward Cuba and the
policy Of the provisional governor
concerning appointments to public
Office.
The Americans listened carefully to
the representations of the committee
and then Governor Taft replied that
he could not outline the policy of the
United States more clearly than was
done in his proclamation establishing
provisional government for the
island.

Steamer Wrecked.

Pittsburg, oct. 15.-A boiler of the
government boat Slackwater exploded
late Saturday, wrecking the vessel,
killing three men, iniuring six others
and creating havoc in the lock on the
Ohio river, near Legionville dam at
Ambridge, where the- boat was lying.
Two negro workmen are missing.

Steve Sutel, 80 years old; Albert
Bishop, superintendent at the dam.
Two unknown negro workmen
about the boat are missing and are
thought to be lying in the Ohio river

The cause of the explosion is not

the turning of cold water into the hot
boiler.

just quit work and were lounging
about the haat when the boiler burst
The report was deafening and the
ground in the vicinity of the lock was
shaken. The Slackwater was blown
to pieces. Great fragments of timber,
boiler iron and debris were hurled

DR.. BRoUWER ON STAND.
Broke Down and Sobbed While Giving
Details Of His Wife's Fatal Illness.

Toms River, N. j., Oct. 16.-Dr
Frank L. Brouwer, on trial for the
murder of his wife, took the witness
stand and broke down and sobbed
while testifying. Later he recovered
himself and was examined closely. He
denied that he had told his sister-in-
law, Elizabeth Hyer, that he intended
to divorce his wife. He also denied
that he had struck his wife or that
he had said to Miss Hyer that he had
40 respect for Mrs. Brouwer.
He told about building a house at
Lakehurst and said it was his own
money that he used for that purpose
He said he sold the Lakehurst house
when he moved to Toms River and
the proceeds from the sale helped
to build new home at his place.
The doctor went into details as to
his wife's fatal illness and said that
when he received an urgent call to
attend a patient at Lakehurst he felt
it his duty to 90, but left his wife In
charge of a trained nurse and two
other physicians.
Asked whether his wife had ever
shown jealousy, DR.. Brouwer said that
as far as he knew she was not jeal-
Gus, although she often showed curl
osity about women who came to his
Office and would ask about them when
they had left. He said that his wife
was some times irritable as the result
of nervousness and that they had quar-
rels, but their differences were not
of q serious character.

report. The total garrison on June 80

far from home" says General Wood,
"and in case Of foreign disturbance,
even with all our troops concentrated
at Manila, the force available would be
Idrely sufficient to defend it from seri-
Gus attack. Moreover a strong gar

TRIAL OF STANDARD OIL
State Precluded From Offering
a Line of Evidence.
Prosecution Admitted State Had No
Mears of Showing Company Author.
lied Its Agents to Offer or Give
Rebates-Witnesses Took Immunity
Bath--Early Close of Trial.

Eath-Early Close of Trial.
Findlay, o., Oct. 16.-The end Of the
trial Of the Standard Oil Company
of Ohio for alleged conspiracy against
trade came in sight at the conclusion
of the court session yesterday. The
state was precluded by the ruling of
Judge Banker from offering line Of
evidence intended to show that the
Standard gave secret rebates to re-
tail dealers in oil.
Mr.. Phelps for the prosecution ad-
mitted the state had no means Of
showing that the company authorized
its agents to offer or give rebates. The
court said that 1t was fundamental
rule of evidence that the authority
of the agent must be established.
"Then the state will close it's case
in ten minutes tomorrow" remarked
Attorney Phelps, and the court ad-
journed. A few witnesses for the de-
fense will be called, but it is stated
that the testimony will be all in be-
fore the court adjourns today and
that the argument of counsel to the
jury can be completed Wednesday,
perhaps in time for Judge Banker to
make his charge to the jury and place
the case in its hands.
An agreement was reached between
Prosecutor David and the attorneys
for the company whereby the case
against John D. Rockefeller will not
be set for trial until after the present
case has been disposed Of
John O'Brlen, superintendent of the
Buckeye Pipe Line company, and E.
r. Curtain, superintendent of the
Manhattan Oil company, both took
the immunity bath" before testifying
in the case. With the exception of
the last witness the evidence put in
by the state was from officers Of the
alleged constituent companies of the
Standard, including the Buckeye Pipe
Line, the Manhattan Oil company, the
Ohio Oil company and the Solar Re
fining company. 1t was testified to by
officers of the Buckeye Pipe Line and
Ohio Oil company that the Standard
Oil company Of New Jersey owned
practically all the stock of these com
panies.
The last witness, Willis B. Ulsh, a
local grocer was proceeding to rell
the jury that when he first went into
business, several years ago, he pur-
chased oil from the National Refining
company, local independent con-
cern, but that two or three years ago
he was visited by an agent IF the
Standard, since which time ne had
bought oil of that company.
He had no means of knowing that
the supposed agent of the Standard
was such agent, and while Attorney
Phelps stated that he wished to show
that this agent had offered and paid
a secret rebate to the witness since
his visit and that the witness had
bought all his oil of the Standard
since that time, he said the state could
not prove that the Standard had given
the agent authority to offer the rebate
and the evidence thereby was cut
short
