THE SOUTHERN RATE CASE.
Gov. Glenn Denies Allegations Con
corning Waving of States Right.

special dispatch to The Star
RALEIGH. N. c.. December 9.-Gov.
Glenn, In an interview today with your
correspondent, denies the allegations con-
corning the waving of the right of the
state under the eleventh amendment to
the Constitution through the alleged en-
ployment Of Justice and other counsel by
him as the head of the executive branch
OF the state government as printed. Fol-
lowing Is the text of Gov. Glenn's state
ment to which much Importance is at
tached at this time:
when Justice and Aycock entered their
appearance in suit of the Southern rail-
way, corporation commission and attorney
general, they were specially entered for
the defendant. r. D. Gilmer and not the
state Of North Carolina, thereby waving
no right of the state
When the railroads came to me, stating
that they would put the legislative rate
into effect, and it was agreed that further
indictments should stop, it was especial
~ put into writing that nothing in any
way should affect the Jurisdiction or any
right under the eleventh amendment to
the Constitution. 1 have not asked the
opinion of any pne In regard to waving
my rights, for 0know I have not waived
them.
One attorney. who was not present
wrote to me making suggestion, but when
the matter was explained to him he
seemed perfectly satisfied that no right
had been waived"
II compromise is not effected 1t is the
belief that the point will be made against
the state in the United States Supreme
Court as soon as the record is made up

early next month, if not earlier. Standing

THE BROWNSVILLE BULLETS.
Composition of the Core Not as to
Government SPECIFICATIONS.

1OVeIumeuC SpcClSCdtAoAS.
Were the bullets used to "shoot up
Brownsville. Tex, government bullets?
The analysis of two of the seven bullets
picked out of houses in Brownsville has
shown that the cores do not contain the
substance which government steel-cased
Springfield bullets are supposed to contain.
If Senator Foraker can show by analysis
that most of the steel-cased bullets used
by the government contain core COM
posed according to the government specl-
fications-obviousy all of them cannot be
examined-he will have developed prob
ably the most convincing chain OF evidence
that has yet resulted from his efforts TO
prove that the colored troops at Browns
Vile were innocent Of shooting up the
town"
He has decided to ask that the COM
mittee on military affairs OF the senate
take up this phase of the matter.
The government requires that its steel
cased Springfield bullets be made with
cores containing one part of tin and thirty
six parts OF lead and no antlmony. Inc
government metallurgist Of the geological
survey, who was instructed to analyze two
of the seven bullets brought before the
committee from Brownsville after they
had been dug out of the woodwork of the
houses that We're fired upon, has reported
to the committee that these two bullets
do not contain the relative amounts OF tin
and lead required by the War Department..
and. furthermore, that they do contain
antimony.
When this fact is laid before the COM
mittee formally it is likely to cause a
sensation, 1t is believed, and If further
testimony tends to show that the govern
ment specifications are being carried out
in the manufacture of these bullets there
Is likely to be a change of attitude on the
part Of some Of the members of the COM
mittee in favor of Senator Foraker's posi-
ton that the soldiers could not have shot
up the town.
The next meeting of the committee will
be held tomorrow. and it promises to be
an interesting one.

WOODLAND WRECK TRIAL
CASE AGAINST VICE PRESIDENT
OF THE NEW YORK CENTRAL.
Charge Is Manslaughter in the
Second Degree-History of
the Disaster.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 9.-The trial
Of Vice President Alfred H. Smith of the
New York Central on an indictment for
manslaughter in the second degree.
charging him with the Woodlawn dis
as,er. in which one of the new electric
trains was derailed, killing twenty-four
persons and injuring sixty-seven on Feb
ruary 16 last, commenced today before
Justice Kellogg in the criminal branch
of the supreme court.
Mr. Smith was represented by Delaney
Nicoll and John A. Lindsay as his per-
sonal counsel. The general counsel of the
railroad. A. H. Harris, sat by MI. Nicoll' s
side. Assistant District Attorney Smythe
appeared for the prosecution.
The task of getting jury, which was
expected to be tedious matter, pro-
ceeded rapidly at the start, three jurors
being obtained in the first ten minutes.
The fourth juror was obtained at noon.
One Man Released.
The accident at Wood.awn was one of
the worst that has occurred in the vicin-
ity of New York. The train was known
as the Brewster express, and left the
track at sharp curve near Woodlawn,
which 1t was taking at a high rate of
speed The passengers were thrown in
every direction In the terrific smashup
that followed, many being horribly mu-
tilated.
The investigation by the coroner and by
the state railroad commissioners failed
to indicate the cause Of the accident. Ac-
cordfng to most reports absolutely no
defect in the rolling stock was discovered,
and the roadbed also was declared to be
in perfect condition.
Judge Whitman. in the court of special
sessions today, dismissed the indictment
ior manslaughter in the second degree
hanging over Ira A. Mccormack, general
superintendent of the electric division of
the New York Central, in order that Nc
Cormack might be made to testify against
wee President Smith. Assistant District
Attorney Smythe made the motion to re-
lease Mccormack on the ground that while
ne was under indictment he could legally
refuse to testify.
In making his argument Mr. Smythe
maintained that, since a choice must be
made. 1t would be better to prosecute
smith. who was Mccormack superior
and consequently more likely to be re-
sponsible for the alleged criminal negli-
gence than the division superintendent.

TO GET RID OF PESTS.
How to Exterminate Mice, Rats and
Vermin.

Housekeepers who are trying to exter-
inmate mice and cockroaches will find
carbolic acid and alum two important
aids.
The cheapest way OF buying the former
is in crystals in a bottle. Place the bot
tie on pad of paper in a saucepan and
surround with cold water; place on the
stove, and when dissolved pour into q
quart bottle which is nearly full Of cold
water; cork securely and place out of
reach of children.
When washing closets, floors to be re-
covered with mattings or carpets. or
when cleaning storerooms. use two ia
blespoonufls to half a bucket OF water.
The odor soon passes OF and freedom
from insects Is assured.
The same solution is good to drive away
ants, but for them kerosene oil is even
more effectual. With oil wipe the under
part Of shelves, tables or wherever the
pests have been found. and one applica-
ton will usually be sufficient II posi-
BILE discover the ants run and nest and
pour kerosene in it,
To rid ones place Of cockroaches will
be quite impossible il women are care
less about leaving either food or damp
be remembered that the slightest crumb
is good meal for one and cloth furnishes
an ideal propagating place. Therefore
have everything scrupulously clean. In
Ilc WOTk u DISCRIMINATING COCkrOaCneS
wash the wood finishing in an apartment
with mixture Of a tablespoonful of car
bolic acid to a quart Of water. Put this
oil on with a brush.
An infallible exterminator of these in
sects is an alum solution made Of two
ounces of the gum and one pint of boiling
water. The objection to using this Is
that it destroys varnish, for 1t must be
applied hot with brush.
To do away with mice a mixture of
equal parts of -four and plaster Of paris
is said to be excellent. No moisture is
applied to the powders, but all food is put
away and the mixture left on a plate
where the mice will get 1t. After one
repast they return no more.
Constant effort with the use OF strong
applications will exterminate even that
most awful of vermin. bedbugs To have
the compound necessary put together one
pint each of wood alcohol and turpentine
with an ounce each Of corrosive sublimate
and gum camphor. Have this in a large
bottle and shake constantly until the SUBJ
Innate and camphor are dissolved. Label
the bottle Poison" for it is one Of the
deadliest
To use pour little into a cup and apply
with brush, going into all cracks and
crevices. This will not stain and will
soon evaporate.
