Peculiar MaIady of Entire Household Traced to FOOdstuns, Where Assassin Failed ny Giving
 Overdose of Alkall.

Auburn, N. r., Nov. 27.--After a months investigation by physicians and chemists, 1t has been determined that the peculiar sickness in the fam fly of William F. Wait is due Co ar- senicaI poisoning.
 Mir. Wait is stlll very ill at the city hospital and his son, Bryan, who re- gently graduated at Yale. Is also par tially paralyzed. He has lost the uso Of his hands and legs. and physicians say he may not recover for years
 Harvey Clements of Gloversville. q son-in-law, who recently spent a few days in the Wait household. was strick- en with the malady and was i'll for some time Mira. Wait also was des. perately i'll for several days.
 The servants In the household and the coachman were among the victims of the disease. All symptoms pointed conclusively to aTsenical poisoning and as a last resort, detectives and the lo- cal police were called into the case, but the greatest secrecy was pre- served. s..
 Analysis of sugar. flour. tea and other 1oodstuifs remaining in the Wait house showed the presence Of arsenic in sufficient quantities to produce death: indeed, 1t is supposed the vic- tims were given overdoses. for horrible nausea followed meals. and this may have averted speedy death.
 Investigation is still progressing, but there is absolutely not the slightest proof to indicate the author of the crime. Mir. Wait Is a member of the carpet manufacturing firm of Nye & Wait. and the family is among the most respected in the city.

MUS : PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE

Washington, Nov. 2T-President Roosevelt holds that he has the power to refnstate in the army any of the members Of the three companies of the 25th coIored infantry who were dis- charged without honor as a result of the trouble at Brownsville. Tex, some time ago, if the circumstances of any individual cases justifies such action.
 Whether he will avail himself of that power, according to the President, will depend on such evidence as may be pre- scented to him in the case of any one or moro soldiers which will tend to clear ly exculpate thsm for any participation in the incident.
 This is in conformance with the an- nouncement he made. while sway, to Secretary Taft when the latter had tel- eEraphed the President stating that ap- plication had been made by number of persons for a re-hearinE. The Pres tcent wants evidence not dedpctions. as he told some of his callers today, of ncn- n-participation, before anything may be done Those who talked with the President today on the subject found him unyielding in his original stand in the matter. with the execution that in individual cases where the facts warranted 1t. he said the man might be reinstated.
 Some statement is expected from the White House in few days defining the Presidents attitude and clearly out lining his reasons for ordering the dis- charge of the three companies of men He is awaiting certain data bearing on the subject and some communication from persons interested, before malx- ing any statement.

SUGAR TRUST FINED
ACCEPTED REBATES FROM NEW
 YORK CENTRAL.
Amount Is Fixtd at SIs,OOO and Sixty Days is Given to Prepare Appeal
 Papers By Court.

New York. Nov. 27.-A fine of $500 was imposed on the American Sugar Refining Company by Judge Holt in the United States Circuit Court today for accepting rebates from the New York Central Railroad Company.
 The company was allowed sixty days to prepare an appeal The rehates amounted to s2s,000.
 Prior to imposition of the sentence. TX. McIlvaine, the defendants counsel. made lengthy argument in support of his motion for an arrest of judg- ment. He contended that the contract made with the New York Central by Lowell M. Palmer through which the rebates were granted. could not be held to be binding criminally on the defendant. Judge Holt. in the course of the discussion, observed. that in his opinion, Mfr. Palmer could, under the interstate commerce act, as superseded by the Elkins act, have been indicted. tried and convicted for soliciting the rebates. Under the former enactment, he would, on conviction, have been inn prlsoned. said Judge Holt, while under the Elkins law fine only could be imuosed.
 Mir. McIlvaine insisted that it was no crime for the shipper to solicit the re-
 
 contract. Judge Holt reiterated that he was satisfied that 1t was a crime to solicit, even at that time, and that the crime was not completed until the re- bates were actually paid.
 1T was understood that within few weeks United States Attorney Stim- son will move for trial some of the other pending rebate indictments. In- dictments are still pending against the Western Transit Company. the Nerth- e-n Steamship Company and the Deia- ware Laekawanna and Western RaII- way Company, in addition to indict- ments against the Now York Central. the American Sugar Refining Company of New York and the American Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey.
 It Is also said that the Federal grand jury will shortly resume the reJatinG inquiry and that he carrying If ecm- modities other than sugar is to be in- cluded in the investigation

All FoSr Phyuicians Agree That Bruises on Body of Grace Brown Were Inflicted Before Her

Herkimer, N Y. Nov. 27--Technicaf testimony relating to conditions ordtn- ari1y found in the bodies of perAonA who have met death by drowning marked today's session of the Giliette murder trial
 Four of the five doctors employed as experts by the state, to perform thg autopsy on the body of Grace Brown. GllIettes aIeged victim, were on the stand during the day,
 Some of the questions put to the ex- perts by counsel, brought out further continuation of the claim that there were blood clots on the girls brain and under the scalp Other questions were put to the doctors by Mir. Mills. of the de- fenses senior counsel. to bring out opinions tending to show that the com ditions found in the dead girls body were similar to those sometimes found in the bodies of drowned persons, and that the conditions they found at the autopsy are recognized by medical au~ thorities as indications of drowning.
 A wordy war between opposing att torneys resulted from the district att torney's efforts to introduce in evidences the child taken from Grace Browns body at the time Of the autopsy. Dis- trict attorney Ward succeeded in get ting the exhibit admitted fin evidence although 1t was shown te no one except Dr E. H. Douglas. who identified it.

Cuth- bert Frost, a Louisville clergyman, q contradiction of a statement made by him on the witness stand last week Af that time Mir. Frost swore that Oils iette broached the subject of the Bia Moose tragedy to some guests at Ar rowhead Inn. where he stayed aftes Ieaving Big Moose. where the Brown girl died. Today he admitted that he was not sure whether Gillette or some one else spoke of the Big Moose incis dent
 The fafense laid great stress on whe. ! ther or not there was water In the Brown girls stomach. how much. it any. and what Indication of drowning l such n condition would he. The dacS ] tors swore that only two t1bleapoonfuis 1 of fluids were found in the stomach. pr S. q.

ties reports In 1905. thirteen States took enumerations of the population, the total being 25.7s3,236. The estI- mate of the census of the population of those States at the same time was 25,743,S11, difference of only 49.925.
 Dr. North has planned. in connection with the annual municipal reports, series of statistical studies of import ant phases of municipal development. including parks, markets, paving. sew, CTS, police and fire departments, baths, schools and libraries.
 The director advocates the taking of a quinQuennia1 cesus of agriculture.
 The report says concerning the cot- ton reports that 1t has been the earn est desire of the bureau to bring It's system of reporting to the highest pos sible degree of efiiciency.
 "A complete record of the quantity of cotton ginned.. it states. "is not pos sible unless the gfners report accurate Iy the output of their gins. That the great majority of them do this, have no doubt. That many have failed to do SO, is made evident by the dlstribu- ton reports aud in some sections where there are signs of more or less concerted purpose to understate the gtnnings In the hope of thereby infiu- encing the current market price of the crop. There can be no question that the census ginning reports have been worth many mtllione of dollars to the cotton planters by protecting the mar ket from assaults of spectators whose privately ga thered statistics no longer carry weight when they differ from those of the census"
 Director North recommends the en- ectment of more rigid laws to enable census officers to secure information.
 Copies of census publicationsAto the number of 6Be sSs were distributed during the year, 20O,7a5 being bulletins and sgs,00 cotton reports of the per- manent census
