TRAFFIC IN HUMAN BEINGS
REPRESENTATIVE CLARK (FLA.)
DENOUNcES OUR colo
NAL POLICY"

Washington, Feb. 23.-The so-called
Colonial policy" of the government
came in for bitter denunciation on the
floor of the house by Representative
Clark of Florida in connection with
his resolution calling upon the secre-
tary of war for statement of the
amount the Philippine islands have
cost the United States. He con-
dernned the war with Spain as unnec-
essary and pronounced the purchase
of the Philippines "a serious blunder
and a most grievous wrong"
when we purchased these islands
and this alien race with them," he
said, 1.-The deed was nothing more nor
less than traffic in human beings and
it is no greater wrong for individuals
to traffic In humanity than 1t is for
nations to make bargains and sale OF
human beings.

Managua, Nicaragua, Feb. 23.-The
Nicaraguan forces on Feb. 20 captured,
without opposition, the town of Eltru-
info, in Honduras, and Thursday, after
six hours hard fighting, the Nicarag-
uan army occupied San Bernardo, an
excellent position, owing to the fact
that 1t Is in communication by land

killed or wounded and the retreating
army left quantities of ammunition
and many rifles on the field. The cas-
ualties on the Nicaraguan side were a
few men wounded.

PRESIDENT SHEA ACQUITTED
Second Trial Of Labor Leader Accused
of Conspjracv.

of Conspiracy.
Chicago, Feb. 23.-At their second
trial, with the jury out four hours,
President Cornelius P. Shea Of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters and his fellow defendants, who
have been on trial on a charge of con.
spiracy committed during the team
sters' strike against the department
stores in Chicago two years ago, were
found not guilty.
The second trial was a direct con-
trast to the first, owing to the quick
progress made both In securing the
jury and In presenting the evidence.
It was begun on Feb. and the jury
was completed nine days later, where
as seventy-eight days were consumed
in securing the former jury and the
trial lasted in all 131 days.
One of the features of the second
trial was the liberty extended the
Jurors by Judge Kavanagh, who per-
mitted them to visit their homes, ac-
companied by deputy sheriffs, so that
they might give attention to impor-
tant personal business and see their
families. Special arrangements were
made also for gymnasium and other
privileges for the men.

HER EIsD ALMOST WRECKED
CHICAGO MllLIONAIRE'S WIFE
ACCUSED OF MURDER IN

Chicago, Feb. 23.-With her mind
almost completely wrecked Mrs. Flora
Mcdonald, who shot and killed Web
ster S. Guerin, was removed to the
annex of the Harrison street police
station, where her husband, Michael
c. Mcdonald, millionaire and former
political boss, spent most of the night

After her removal her condition be-

ers who had questioned her earlier In
the day.
Bromides and hypodermic injec-
-tions were given her almost every
hour throughout the night, but she
could not be quieted. Mcdonald was
deeply affected by his wife's condition
and frequently sobbed.
Mrs. McDonald's explanation to the
police as to the motive for her crime
seemed exploded by the statements OF
her husband. Mrs. Mcdonald declared
that Guerin had been levying black
mail on her and that repeatedly he
had obtained sums from her on threats
OF exposure. This explanation, how
ever, was contradicted by the words
of Mcdonald. He said he never had
given his wife large sums of money,
the sums practically having only been
sufficient for the needs of the house
hold or well defined needs of the wo-
man.
Statements from Guerin's relatives
seemed to place far different light
on the tragedy. They declared that
since Guerin had been a boy in school
Mrs Mcdonald had been enamored of
him and that she had continued her
attentions even after he had used
every influence to break his relations
with her

New York, Feb. 23.-Mrs. Harry K.

Daniel O'Reilly, of counsel for Harry

Thaw's cell and Thaw, who had sent

shown. Thaw rushed into the confer

arms, calling her my dear, brave lit

Mrs. Thaw's eyes filled with tears
and Mr.. O'Reilly withdrew from the
room, leaving both of them weeping.
A few minutes later Mr.. O'Reilly re-

BOTH REPUBLICS SUSPICIOUS.
impossible to Intervene in Central
American Dispute.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Such advices
as reach the state department from
Central America indicate the exist
ence of a deep seated suspicion by
each of the republics of the motives of
the other that does not tend to make
easier the task set for the United
States and Mexico of reconciling Mic
aragua and Honduras. In fact the
officials have almost reached the con-
clusion that not until the quarrel has
proceeded further and more bloodshed
has sobered the inflamed parties to
the strife will 1t be possible to at
tempt to intervene successfully even
to the extent of proffer of arbitra-
tion. The last statement bearing on
this point is to the effect that Saliva
dor has been aiding Honduras by sup
plying ammunition, but 1t Is said to be
possible that this is founded on the
fact that these two countries have
generally acted together wherever In
ternational relations are concerned.

New York, Feb. 23.--No woman ever

affidavit which she has denied she had
any part in framing; the European
trip of 1904; the incident of the Cum

Thaw following her return; her mar

acter.
OF course, the actual truth OF the
story which Mrs. Thaw told her hus-
band and which Is said to have un-
balanced his mind cannot be ques-
toned. If she told him the story and
as a result his mind became deranged
the truth of the story is immaterial.
All that the cross-examination can de-

the witness, doubt as to whether she
really did tell him or not,

Piano Recital of Unusual Interest.

Franklin Cannon presented one OF his
most advanced pupils in recital last OVEN
ing. Miss Olive Esnson of Tionests was
the pianiste, and she was greeted by an
enthusiastic audience which taxed the
capacity of the commodious studios.
Miss hanson opened her program with
the Beethoven Sonata, Op. IA, No. l.,
which she played in most interesting
manner. Following this Chopin group
of five numbers gave Miss Lanson an OPP
portunity to display her poetical temper
ament. Then came group of character
istic pieces which were interpreted in fine
style. The we'll known and ever beauti-
ful Love Dream, No. 8, by Liszt, was
given a soulful Interpretation. The
beautiful singing tone which is one OF
the charms of Miss Lanson's playing was
especially appealing in this number.
Her climaxes were brilliant and her ca
denzas rapid and clean cut. The Brahms
Intermezzo, Op. Is, No. 3, was played
with rare understanding, and the enthu-
siastic applause which followed spoke we'll
for the pianist's Interpretation of that
great master. The Hungarian Dance by
this same composer closed the program,
and it was played great, with fire and
capriciousness.
Special mention must be made of The
Dance of Death, by Saint Saens, played
on two pianos by Miss Lanson aud Mr..
Cannon. 1t was given strikingly char
scteristic Interpretation, the ensemble
seemingly perfect. In this Miss Lanson's
remarkable memory was given real
test and her exceptional technique was
shown to fine advantage.
Besides several recalls Miss Lanson
responded to two encores. Altogether the
young pianist played from memory
seventeen numbers, and it may be said
with truth that her versatility is very
uncommon.
The recital was one of the seasons
events for music lovers, and Mr.. Cannon
is to be congratulated on his pupil and
the complete success of last evening"
