IS GUILTY OF MURDER
VERDICT IN THE MATHEWS
CASE AT GREENSBORO, N. @.

GREENSBORO. N. c.. March a.-After
celebrating for thirteen hours the jury in
the case OF DR.. J. B. Mathews, the Green's
boro. n. c.. physician, charged with the
murder of his wife on December /, 1905, re-
turned a verdict at $50 o'clock this morning
Of guilty OF murder in the second degree.
Judge Ferguson sentenced the prisoner TO
the penitentiary for term of twenty years.
Counsel for Mathews Immediately an
nounced that an appeal would be taken to
the supreme court.
Mathews relied upon a plea OF insanity
as defense. There was expert testimony
10 support the contention. The prosecution
established a motive. however. by intro
ducing evidence to show that Mathews had
threatened to kill his wife on q former oc-
casion. when he claimed that she had been
unfaithful.
The most sensational allegation at the
trial was that Mathews had injected strych-
nine into his wife while she was i'll and
while pretending to be offering a prayer at
her bedside. Witnesses from Richmond
Va. testified that the prisoner had made an
unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide
fourteen years ago because of the death of
his sweetheart.

The Independents of the Pittsburg district
would be strong enough to fight the miners,
even though the Pittsburg Coal Company
should grant the miners an advance OF
wages of 55 per cent.
Previous to the opening of the meeting
the general sentiment was that the con-
ference would be divided some of the ope-
rators siding with the Pittsburg Coal Com
panys interests in endeavoring to grant
concessions to the miners, and a number
of others strongly opposing the granting
of any advance in wages at all.
When the conference opened at II o'clock
abo 1T fifty coal operators were present. The
meeting was called to order by Chairman
Robbins of the Pittsburg Coal Company.
None of the operators would venture a pre-
diction as TO the probable action of the con-
ference. Mr.. Robbins said a statement
would be issued at its close.

UNFAIR RATING CHARGES.
Hearing in Glass Company's Case at
Pittsburg Today.

PITTSBURG. Pa, March 9-Argument
In the case of the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Company against the Illinois Central rail-
road, involving the charge of unfair dis
elimination, begun here today before
Judge Judson C. Clements of Washington,
d. c.. representing the interstate commerce
commission. Attorney William S. Dalzell
of Pittsburg, appeared as counsel for the
plaintiff and S. +. Andrews of Chicago and
Perkins fischer of Nashville Tenn. were
the legal representatives of the railroad
company.
The allegation of the Pittsburg Plate
Glass, Company is that while importers are
able to deliver plate glass in Chicago from
Antwerp, Belgium for 81 cents per hundred
pounds, by the way of New Orleans, the
illinois Central railroad charges them 60
cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New
Orleans.
A rate of 3S cents is charged to Minneap-
oils, 1t Is alleged. while the plate glass COM
pany is compelled to pay 40 cents per 100
pounds. From Pittsburg to Minneapolis
the rate over the Illinois Central is 60 cents
per 100 pounds. The rate from Antwerp
includes the vessel toll and the freight Is
carried over 30 per cent further by the
railroad at less freightage than is charged
the domestic manufacturers.

THE PORTE HAS YIELDED.
Comedies to Americans School Ship
ment Privileges In Syria.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 9.-The porte
has yielded to the American demands and
has informed the American legation that
orders have been sent to Beirut to admit,
duty free, all consignments for the Ameri-
can schools in Syria. The same note de-
clares that the porte is ready to accord the
same official recognition to American as to
other schools if a request to that effect is
presented to the proper department for each
institution separately.
This is not satisfactory to the American
legation, where 1t is considered to indicate
a further attempt at procrastination, as
similar requests for the recognition of GER
tain schools presented to the ministry a
year ago have not yet been granted. The
legation now proposes to apply more urgent
pressure for the recognition of the four

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE. Wis, March 9.-That Sen
ator La Toilette has completed his plans to
oust his rival. Senator Spooner from the
United States Senate was evidenced yester-
day, when Secretary of State Houser re-
turned from a conference at washington
with Speaker Lenroot and La Toilette.
Senator William Hatten, an important
factor in the passage of the Wisconsin rail-
road rate bill. is said to be the La Toilette
candidate for Spooner's seat.
La Follette's Choice.
1t had been expected that Hatten would
come out as a candidate for the republican
nomination for governor.
Speaker Lenroot however, was La FOL
lette's choice for this office, and there was
considerable danger of detection from the
La Toilette camp. Many of La Toilette S
most devoted followers objected to Lenroot,
and might have given their support to Hat
ten.
Secretary of State Houser, La Toilette S
candidate for reelection as secretary or
state. was one who favored Hatten rather
than Lenroot. A conference was called at
Washington however, and it was decided
to offer the chance to become United States
senator to Mr.. Hatten.
This will clash however, with the aspira-
tions of several of La Follette's supporters,
who had hopes of being chosen as rival

THE ANTI-FoREIGN FEELING

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-"There will
be no war between the United States and
China" said Maj. Gen. Henry c. Corbn
upon his arrival from the orient on the
steamer Korea yesterday. so far as L
have been able to observe, the reported dis
turbances In China have been grossly ex-
aggerated. and conditions are not nearly
SO alarming as one would be led to suppose
from reports that have been published
abroad throughout the western world.
THAT there have been disturbances is
quite true. but I do not think they will
break the peace of China and the United
States any other nation. The feeling
against Americans in China does not ex-
ceed that entertained toward all other for
eigners. and as l understand the situation
the entire anti-foreign feeling is due in a
large measure to the exploitati ton of busl-
ness enterprises which the Chinese feel
sure should be controlled by their own
people
