KALLENBERG ACQUITTED.
Justice Decides There Is No Case
Agai1,st Ne1c Rochelle alderman.

The trial of Herman Kallenberg. Of the New
Rochelle Board of Aldermen. was resumed
yesterday before Justice Newburger in the Su-
preme Court. Kallenberg is one of four alder
men charged with bribery, because. 1t is al
legged. they had demanded $4,000 from Presi-
dent Elbert A. Reynolds of the State Line Tele
phone Company before the franchise applied
for by him would be granted
Miss Freda Roesing, a stenographer in Mr..
Reynoldss office, continued her testimony in
the morning. and then Assistant District At
torney Train read into the record the cOnver-
sations alleged TO have taken place between
Kallenberg and Mr.. Reynolds, and a long state
ment made by Kallenberg TO the grand jury
concerning the case.
When the afternoon session began John b.
Stanchfield counsel for Kallenberg. moved for
a dismissal of the indictment, first on the
ground that the charter Of the company was
not broad enough to get a franchise in New
Rochelle and, second. that the Board of Alder
men of New Rochelle had not the power to
grant the franchise when the charter of the
company did not permit It. and that being so, a
person must be a public official before he can
be bribed. Mr.. Train made a long argument in
opposition to the motion, but Justice Newburger
sustained Mr.. Stanchfield's motion. and directed
the jury to acquit the defendant. Similar ac-
ton will probably be taken in the case of the
other three aldermen indicted fol bribery.

THE FAMINE IN CHINA.
President May Issue a Proclamation
Io-day-Red Cross Relief Work.

Washington, Dec. H.-The famine in China was
considered at a meeting OF the National Red Cross
at the War Department tonight. 1t was decided
that whatever steps the society took should depend
on the action OF President Roosevelt, who, II was
subject tomorrow. When this appeal Is issued the
society will go TO work through its state agencies
for the collection Of funds and food.
Reports having been received here from consuls
and other officials of the State Department that
the condition OF the famine sufferers in China is
worse than at first supposed, the subject, at the
instance OF the Red Cross. was brought to the at
tention Of the Cabinet to-day 1t is probable that
an appeal will be issued for supplies and steps
taken TO assign more army transports to
the work OF transporting them. In order 70 send a
government vessel II will be necessary, however,
70 obtain the consent Of Congress-. and TO this end
Secretary Taft will consult the members OF the

nsiastically experimenting the laying out Of
Jlf links; now he is diverting the course Of
a stream to make a beautiful lake and, again,
he is constructing road through the mountains
schemes which give him infinite pleasure and
also provide employment for small army of
men.
And these are but few of his many activities,
mental and physical. Every day, from all quar-
ters of the world, there pOurs in on him a per-
feet deluge of letters, all of which demand at

'chieffy of the begging Order) are suppressed by

his daily correspondence usually occupies a large
part of his morning. He is a great reader, too
and spends an hour two daily with the news
papers and periodicals which are scattered in
lavish profusion all over the place, or with the
treasured volumes in his splendid library.
Almost more than his books Mr.. Carnegie
loves music, and one of his greatest pleasures
is to sit in the hall of SkibO while the castle or
ganst, highly paid artist of great skill, con-
jures sweet music from his magnificent organ
Another form of music which delights the mill
iOnaire is the skirl the pipes, to which the
household, in good Scottish fashion, awakes
every morning. Mr.. Carnegie also spends many
pleasant hours in the billiard room, where he
handles the cue with great enthusiasm and no
little skill; he loves to work in his beautiful
gardens and to take long tramps over the hills
with the brisk step of boy.
But undoubtedly Mr.. Carnegies happiest
hours are those spent with his wife and daugh-

At SKIBO CASTLE.
Hoe Andreao Carnegie Amuses
Himself Abroad.

IL any one doubts that a multimilonaire can
be perfectly happy man, said friend of the
writer, should advise him to arrange if pos
sible, to spend a day or two with Andrew
Carnegie at SkibO Castle, his summer house in
Scotland, and guarantee that his doubt will
speedily take wings; for do not think there are
many men in Great Britain, rich poor. who so
thoroughly enjoy life as this wonderful Scots
man, who has made almost as many millions as
he has lived years. This, at least was the cen
victiOn forced me when 1 spent few delight
ful days as his guest a couple of years ago
But. indeed, it would be rather difficult for any
man not to enjoy life under such ideal condi-
tfOns and in such lovely environment SkibO
Castle, you must know, stands on a slight emf
nence near the shores of Dornoch Firth, in the
far north of Scotland and but few miles from
Dunrobn the regal home OF the Dukes of Suth-
erland. Behind it rise magnificent, heath COW

Drama OF loch and moors and hills, such as you
viii scarcely match even in romantic Scotland;
while the castle itself. which Mr.. Carnegie has
largely rebuilt is stately pile. beautiful to look
upon and full of historic associations.
To this splendid retreat the millionaire laird
loves to retire every summer; and here he spends
an ideally happy time with his wife and little
daughter, entertaining his countless friends and
finding each day too short for his many recrea-
tions and activities.
Naturally, man who has led such strenuous
life finds no pleasure in idleness. Full of ire
pressible energy, he must always be doing some
thing, and at Skibo he finds plenty to occupy
his time very agreeably. In fact, the place i:
