IF the manager of a factory can

Members of the board of directors

There is no service. 1t is stealing, ex-

hardly family but has lost one OF more

SUITS AGAINST NEELEY
President Determined to Recover
Sum Alleged to Have Been
Stolen Ia Cuba.
SPECIAL DIspArcH TO THE CALL.

The proceedings against other former
employees Of the United States Govern
ment will be pushed as vigorously as
Jones knows how. The action against
Neeley will be tried in the United States
Circuit Court in this city in May
Jones was originally appointed to this
position in May, 1900, and was instu-
mental in obtaining the extradition of
Neeley to Cuba after his flight to this
country. Neeley was subsequently, tried
and convicted and afterward released un-
der an act of amnesty.
Jones was also special counsel for the
Government in the prize cases growing
out of the captures by the United States
naval forces during the war with Spain.
He said today, in speaking of the coming
trial: psS
1.-The money which Neeley owes the
Government must be paid Attachments
on property belonging to Neeley, repre-
senting $4,000 to $4,000, will be levied.
That the trial will be replete with inter-
esting features there is no doubt.

Case of the Miners Has Not Been Fully
 Mnde Up.

New York. Feb. 16.--The demands the anthracite miners are to present to the railroads and other companies ops erating the coal mines of the anthracite district, were considered today at an all day session Of the subcommittee of seven appointed by the miners yester- day at their conference with the coal presidents.
 When the subcommittee adjourned tonight, no statement was made as to the details considered nor was any intimation given as to the time the miners will require properly to frame up their case
 The subcommittee Of seven appoint ed yesterday by the operators remained inactive today. awaiting the proposals the miners will have to offer. These two sub-comnittees win consider every detail of the problems affecting the anthracite industry before the full con ference of miners and operators is again convened.
 John Mitchell, President of the Mins Workers of America, would not break today the silence he has steadily main- tained as to the miners demands, nor would he consent to discuss the em- broglio in the Pittsburg district. The in declaring the presidency and vice. brought no comment from Mr. Mitchell for publication. He was in constant communication with the district lead CTS at Pittsburg, however. and declared that whatever action he might take In the future would naturally be made public at the convention and not else whpra

HOPING FOR THE H EST.
Frenci, Government Optimistic Rekar
 ing Algeciras Outcome.

French Government Optimistic Regard
 ing Aigeciras Outcome.
 Paris, Feb, 16.-The Foreign Ofice continues to take an optimistic view of the result of the conference at Al, geciras, but this Is coupled with ttS' statement that France will not yiG upon the essential question of the .- trol of the police.
 This position appears tc ina cate that a German proposition based upon France reIinquishing her claim for police power over Morocco are likely to meet with failure. However, there is no evidence of serious Franco PrIs- sian tension. On the contrary, 1t is significant that a dinner takes place at the German Embassy here on Monday night at which Prince von Radolin, the German Ambassador. will entertain the three leading members of the French cabinet, Premier Rouvier. War Minis ter Etienne and Marine Minister Thom- son, thus indicating the most agree able outward relations.
 The semi official Temps tonight sharply rejects the idea that certain Ambassadors representing outside pow CTS shall try to play the role of arbi- trators at Algeciras. The paper strong ly approves of resistance to the Ger man suggestions and asks that the threat of this resistance be changed from private conversations between the Ambassadors to open declarations be- fore the conference.

 There was some anxiety as to the delegates being In contempt of court in busting the officers until attorneys explained that the injunction that was granted Dolan earlier in the week pro- tects Dolan from violence but does not interfere with the transaction of busi- nessa

READY FOR WEDDING
REHEARSAL OF THE CEREMONY AT
 THE WHITE HOUSE.
About DS0 Guests Will he Present at the Marriage of Miss Alice Roose- yelt and Congressman Nfclzo-
 las L0nEworth.

Washington Feb. 1e.--In tho east room of the White House tom0Frow, Miss Alice Roosevelt. daughter of the President, ana Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. will be united in marriage. The historic room In which the ceremony will be performed and which has been the scene of many bril- liant events, will be decorated more elaborateiy than upon any previous oc. casion, yet with the acme of good taste. The work of preparing the east room for the wedding continued throughout today and was practically completed by tonight.
 Late in the day the wedding was re- hearsed Tn the east room. None but the wedding party was present. The President, was engaged at the time in conference with Secretary Bonapartc and Admiral Sands at the executive of fees. and was not at the rehearsal. Nor was Bishop Henry Y.f Salterlee, who will ofIfciate tomorrow.
 Mir. Longworth, accompanied by his best man and the ushers, walked from Mir. Longworth's home to the White House. where they joined Mss Roose- welt and the other members of the wedding party. large section of the United States marine band was In att tendance, playing the music for the re- hearsal.
 Throughout the day express wagons and private messengers were contin- ually arriving at the White House with wedding gifts. Presents have been pouring in constantly for sometime from all sections of the country and from almost every quarter of the globe. For two days the presents have been on ex- hlbition to immediate friends of the bride and groom, who have come to at tend the wedding.
 1t is estimated that there will be about 950 guests present, and 1t Is pos sible that some of the number may have to be placed in the green room. although 1t is believed by those acquain- ted with the capacity of the house that the east room will be sufficiently large to hold all the guests. After the cere- mony and the reception of the guests by the bride and groom has been con cluded. buffet wedding breakfast will be served In the State dining room.
 The White House grounds will be closed throughout tomorrow and none will be permitted to enter. The execu tive offices will also be closed through out the day and all work will be sus- pended.
 Major Richard Sylvester. superinten- dent of the Metropolitan Police De- partment, has perfected arrangements for keeping the streets adjoining the White House open so that carriages will be permitted free access to the gates and congestion prevented.
 Photographers and special ncwspa- per writers have been arriving in Washington from all over the country, some coming from European countries. However. only limited number or newspaper men have been invited and these are either personally known to the family or ara personal friends or the groom.

Secretary Root Wants a System |,
 Surveillance

Surveillance.
 Washington, Feb 16.-Secretary Root was before the committee on foreign affairs today urging favorable action on the consular bill passed by the Senate. He went over the ground cov- cred in his statements before the Sen ate committee and the House commit tee on appropriations.
 Secretary Root was especially intent that provisions for consular inspectors should be retained in the bill saving that oftentimes consuis were engaged in illegal practices fos moneys and the department had no knowledge of what was going on. He said the depart ment had learred that some consuls had regularly engaged in the sale of Chinese certificates and also had en- tered into partnership with local att torneys for conducting business not permitted by the department. There was something in the orient and the tropics the secretary said, which seem- ed to warp the American mind re- garding integrity and 1t was to keep the consulates under constant surveiI- lance that the inspectors were need ed.
 MT. Cousins sarcastically observed that he supposed fl was the intention to select as these consular inspectors i'm maculate men who would not be con- taminated by these influences.
 Without replying to this suggestion the Secretary continued to point out the advantages which would follow the inspection service. MT. Root said that at present the consular service was not very even. Many of the consuls were industrious and capable but many others were indolent, he said, and re- xarded their place as a soft snap" and resented any work as an unwar- ranted demand on them.
 The remedies Mir. Root suggested. were a rigid inspection of consulates. The establishment of a merit list whicl would result in the promotion of the mest edicient consuls and the aboll-

GaynOr and Greene Got Too Much For
 Work at Savannah.

Savannah, Gs.. Feb. l6.-Arthur s. Cooper assistant engineer under form CT Captain Carter in the office of this engineering district. a position he has continued to hold under Carter's sue cessors, was on the stand in the Greene and Gaynor case for the entire day. He was exhaustively questioned on cross examination and the redirect.
 The testimony of Mir. Cooper related largely to technical subjects and the character of the work done by the de- fendants in the improvement of the Sa- vannah harbor under the contract of 1892.
 The most striking feature of the evidence of the engineer was that the government had paid s5 cents per yard for mattresses that cost the contrac- tors but cents. As the work was done under his superversion he desir- ed, he said, to state he had absolutely nothing to do with matters of cost He did not know until six months after he became identified with the opera tions that the government was paying as much as 1t was for the mattresses that were being sunk in the river.

JAPAN BEHIND THE MOVEMENT

St. Petersburg. Feb. 1e.--In view of recent events in China. the Russian Government, like that of the United Sta es, has found it. advisable to take the necessary military measures to be prepared for eventualitics.
 Though the Foreign Offfce officially scouts the alarmist tone of the Russian press and declares to the Associated Press this afternoon that no news had been received to excite apprehension. the council for national defense which has been preparing to reduce the force in the Far East to a minimum takes a more serious view of the situation and is revising its plans for the evacuation of the armies in Manchuria. in order to retain there force sufficient to maintain Russia's special interests on 2 plane with the other powers.
 According to The Slovo the Govern ment Is in possession of information to the effect that China Is making war preparations, in which she is supported almost openly by Japan and that an attack on Russia's Ususuri possessions is feared.
 Fears, The SIovo says, are also en- tertained over the Chinese designs to overthrow the Russian influence in Chi- nese Turkestan that has grown up In consequence of the special trade and military arrangements instituted before the breaking out of the Russo-Japan- csc war.

5000 ARE IN DANGER.
Americans VIII Suffer if There fs Up-
 rising in China,

rtefuE tu kMAuH.
 Chicago, Feb. ie.-A dispatch to the Inter-Ocean from Washington says:
 Nearly 5000 Americans. men, women and children are in peril of death at the hands of Chinese mobs in the threat ended Boxexr uprising. To rescue as many of these as possible from danger and take drastic action in every case where an American Is molested is the purpose of the President, through the state, war and navy departments.
 Activities in this section have been going on for weeks but great secrecy has necessarily been maintained.
 Aside from the known fact that the Philippine forces have already been greatly augmented and the Asiatic fleet increased the state department is keeping It's programme secret.
 Of the total number of Americans now in China, it is estimated that not less than I,400 are engaged in Chris tian mission work.
 It Is roughly estimated that there are 5000 Americans engaged in com mercial pursuits in China all of whom are victims of, the boycott. In addi- ton to these 1t is estimated that there are 1.500 other Americans in China In the employment of Chinese merchants and manufacturers who heretofore have been paid good wages. but who have been driven from their employ ment by the anti-Amsrican spirit
 One thing is known, the United States is acting alone. Nearly all the antf-foreign sentiment In China Is de rected at Americans. There Is some hostility to French and Germans. but none toward Japanese or English.
 All the countries named have been benefited by the boycott on American goods.
 Therefore if Pekin is taken again as it was in the Boxer uprising of 1900 the feat is ..Kely to be accomplished by American soldiers.
 That all preparations being made to meet the emergencies are being made on a scale commensurate with the task is indicated by the unprecedented ac- tivity at the various posts and muni- tion factories.
