between Japan and 6he United States.
"The whole nation has an unshaken

Karlsruhe, Germany, July 18.-Tho
of Roman law in George Washington
University, D. c., on a charge of hav.
ing murdered his mother-insl law, Frau
Moliter. in Baden-B Baden, was resumed
today.
Hau surprised the court by making
an important admission concerning In
cidents which he had hitherto refused
10 speak Of. He admitted sending a
dispatch from Paris, calling Frau Mo-
liter to that city. but refused to say
whether his wife was aware the mes-
sage had been sent.
Frau Mueller, sister Of Hau's step
mother, testified she accompanied Hau,
Sr., to London. Upon hearing OF the
arrest Of Hau, she had an interview
with him in prison. She found him
tai excitement. He gave her the in1-
preston of a crazy man.
She said to him: care you guilty,
Karl?" To this the prisoner answered.
mo, did not do It,"
Hau boarded with Frau Mueller
while attending classical preparatory
school at Treves. She said he was
good boy and model student, but
that he commenced to show signs Of
amatory alterations as soon as dhe left
school. Referring to Haus elopement
with Lima Moliter, the witness said
the couple went to Switzerland, where
they were visited by Mr.. Hau, Sr.
They soon after ran out Of funds and
were In despair. She was informed,
the witness continued, that the couple
intended to commit suicide and that
Hau had shot at Lima, but missed her
heart. She then requested that Hau
shoot the second time, but the mans
courage failed him. They then planned
to end their lives by poisoning, but this
project was also abandoned. Upon
hearing of his sons troubles, Hau, ST.,

fled wit S rate on butter. They
propose = watch the outcome of the
suit st; ~ before the Interstate COM
merce :, mission by the Beatrice
Cream - Company, and other DiS
centrall1. butter companies, TO get
the rate on cream lowered between
Iowa points and Chicago. The raise
in these rates, that recently took
place. was due to the fact that Dairy
Commissioner H. K. Wright went after
the railroads for discriminating
against Iowa concerns. The railroads
were charging a lower rate from Iowa
points TO Chicago than they were
charging to Iowa points. They
charged more from Webster City to
Chicago thru Dubuque, than they did
from Webster City to Dubuque, which
was about half the distance
When complaint was made to the
railroads that there was discrimn-
alton against the Iowa creameries they
raised the rate from Iowa points to
Chicago Now the Beatrice Cream
cry Company and other creamerles
have started suit to force them to put
down the rate to Chicago. If that
is done the rate inside the state Of
Iowa to Iowa points will have to come
down to avoid a discrimination.
Dairy men are saying that the rates
on butter east are too high and II the
creameries succeed in getting the rate
to Chicago lowered they may go after
the rates 10 New York. AT present the
rate to New York is $107 per hum
dred. which amounts to from $225 to
$3.50 per car. When the weight of the
butter tubs is deducted 1t makes an
addition Of about 1-3 cents pound
on the butter The cars are on the
road about four days and have TO be
stocked with ice at cost OF ABOUT
$40
A great many of the refrigerator
companies that handle this class OF
perishable goods are companies inde-
pendent OF the railroads and they pay
the RAILROADS for hauling the cars.
These concerns are keeping from one
to three men in Iowa, soliciting. that
class Of goods and unless there was
big profit they wouldn't do 1t. E1gnt
or ten men cover the state OF Iowa
eyery week drumming up trade. 1t IS
the high class freight with the high
and profitable rate. When creamery
is making million pounds OF butter
a year he is paying about $4,000
year In freight If he can save frac-
tion OF a cent pound on his freight 1t
is worth while.

SWIFT IS CAUSTIC

President Of Kansas City Livestock
Exchange "Roasts' co-operative

Meeting Of National Association Be.
gun.
Kansas City, July 1s.-The livestock
commission firms in the fifteen princi-
pal markets of the country. that do
an annual business estimated at $780,
100000, were represented here today at
the opening of the nineteenth annual
meeting OF the National Livestock Ex-
change Association. James c.. Swift,
the Kansas City president, said this
morning that as far as he knew, no
pressing matter would be. taken up at
the meeting The post-mortem ques-
ton, among other things will be dis
cussed.
Swift mentioned this topic in his
annual address, the reading Of which
was the principal work today. He said
in part:
while we regret the passing of the
7-cent hog, we rejoice that his memory
bears no taint of the post mortenl
that he left US. Ever welcome the
7-cent steer, and the lowly sheep with
his high price fleece, and strong selling
mutton.
Swift said livestock exchanges for
years had been the butt fer shifts of
cheap ridicule or bases fo. criticism,
born either of malice or Ignorance. But
now, he said, there was better un-
derstanding OF the proposition that
these organizations are formed, pri-
marily to preserve and maintain abso-
lutte integrity of contract, and to guar
antee to every man who patronizes
our markets an absolute open and un-
questionable square, deal. He spoke
Of the competitive organizations Of
which he said: Tho self-s styled as CO.
operative, the light Of development
would lead to an absolute conviction
that cooperation was limited in ex-
tent, and confined largely to the indi-
,vidual promoters" He added:
"This movement at it's inception
sought to take advantage Of the public
clamor aroused in other quarters and
cleverly and unscrupulously tried to
engulf us in some frenzied wave. and
at the same time ride the crest to the
port Of financial blessings, for itself
But the attempt failed"

cHoATE ON ARBITRATION.
American Delivers Notable Speech at
Hague ePace Conference.

American Delivers Notable Speech at
Hague ePaee Conference.
The Hague, July 1S.-The American
delegation has presented to the peace
conference the following proposition:
If for any reason captured neu-
tral vessel cannot be tried the vessel
must be released"
! At the committee meeting today. Jo-
seph H. Choate made an important
statement of the reasons that had in
duced the American government to
| propose a general treaty Of arbitration.
| He said:
Dangers and mischief are threaten
ing the world with the constant prep
aration for war and accumulation of
arms, that have been somewhat miti-
gated by the excellent work of the first
peace conference in recommending ar
bitration to the nation as a substitute
for war, and the establishment at The
Hague of permanent court.
Since this time great events have
occurred and two terrible wars which
inflicted untold miseries upon many,
have led to the interna tional agree
ments Of arbitration separately and in
pairs. There is no reason why the ma
tions that agree by each other. or two
by two, should not agree altogether ex-
actly on the same thing"
Choate referred to the excellent work
done in this direction by the Pam
American conferences at Mexico City
and Rio Janeho, and it was under
these circumstances, he said, that the
United States proposed general arbi-
tration, corresponding in Norm and
substance to many individual treaties
Which had been entered into. includ-
ing those negotiated by the United
States in 1904, but reserving the right
of the senate to participate in any
special agreement which might become
necessary for carrying the treaty into
effect in particular eases. Choate's
remarks were interrupted often by ap-
plause. When he was thru he was
warmly congratulated by many dele
gates.

But you will not object to the court

No, sir, we cannot do that" re-
plid Darrow, ",lnd while I do not at
this time crititdse the court for the
latitude which it allowed the state in
this case, there seems to be do dispo-
sition to limit its testimony in any
particular as t., same great, general
conspiracy, by the Lord only knows
who"
Darrow argued that showing de-
portations from Cripple Creek during
the strike period and the connection
of the Pinkerton detectives and hired
''gun men, should be allowed to go to
the jury He reviewed the Colorado
situation and charged mine owners and
detectives with planning the wreck on
the Florence and Cripple Greek rail-
way, also with blowing up the indie
pendence depot and with creating a
riot thru the hired men. Darrow was
impassioned and hurled invective with
out stint at the detectives and at Or
chard He closed with q whirlwinI
appeal to show conspiracy against the
Western Federation Of Miners.
Judge Wood announced the opening
argument for the state would be made
tomorrow, by Attorney Hawley. The
day was given over to the considera-
tion Of the Instructions to be given to

employment of detectives by the mine
owners and citizens Of Colorado.
