WASHINGTON, March 27.-Summary pun
ishment for refusal to obey the summons
Of the court to appear as a witness in
the trial OF Binger Hermann was meted
out by Justice Stafford upon A. q. King,
a recalcitrant. at the conclusion OF the
regular session of the court in the Hermann
case this afternoon. King. who declined
absolutely to leave his home near Seattle,
Wash, unless forced to do so and who
was finally brought to Washington in
custody Of n deputy marshal, was fined
5000 Only the humanity Of the Court
saved him from even a more severe penalty,
because it was shown that King was a
poor man and with cut funds to return to
his home, The regular witness fee which
would have been allowed him. five cents
a mile amounted to s9Oi Deduction Of
500 still left him enough TO make the return
journey.
When on the stand King testified willingly
enough that he worked for Franklin Peirce
Mays, former State Senator Of Oregon,
and that he received 81 a day in consdera-
tion of getting signers to the petitions for
the creation of the Blue Mountain forest

THE BROWNSVILLE INQUIRY.
Further Testimony Regarding the Shells
Picked 1 D In the streets OF the Town.

Picked y In the streets OF the Town.
WASHINGTON. March 27-Second Lieut..
George G. Lawrason, who commanded
Company B, Twenty-fifth Infantry at the
time of the Brownsville trouble, was before
the Senate Military Committee to-day In
reply TO questions by Senator Foraker,
he expressed the opinion that the empty
shells picked up on the streets Of Browns
vile after the shooting. and which were
the subject Of microscopic examination by
War Department experts, might have been
fired at Fort Nlobrara before the regiment
went to Fort Brown.
Mr.. Foraker brought this out from the
fact that two of the shells bore marks of
miStire-two lndentations-which Lawra-
son said could have happened only at
Niobrara when the guns were new and
did not fire perfectly because the working
parts were clogged with cosmoline. A
box of empty shells, he testified had been
brought to Fort Brown with the company,
but he had not seen them on the barracks
porch as other witnesses had testified
Iawrason could not distinguish as KraR-
J0rgensea or new Springfield ammunition
six more or less battered bullets that had
been dug out OF Brownsville houses after
the shooting the difference before being
used being only in the shape Of the nose,
and that was Obliterated by contact At
Mr.. Foraker's suggestion the bullets were
sent to the bureau of standards to be
weighed for comparison with three bullets
the President had sent TO the Senate with
the Purdy report. The Lieutenant was
still on the stand when adjournment was
taken and will continue mis- testimony
tomorrow.
At the beginning of to-day's session the
examination of Sergeant Ma jor Taliaferro

peated yells of Il want all of YOU" which

 shell Affair.

New York, Sept. Miss Olga Nethersole, in cream colored broad cloth and a hat, arrived on the steamship Cedric to-day bubbling over with stories of her recent triumph in Paris. and set out at once in a special car for kansas City, where on September 12 sheis to open her season with Carmen. The hat, Miss Nethersole says. you may call a porcupine for want of better name"
 And there is the porcupine sugges- tion becauseof the forest of heron feathers, very long and very light, and gray-blue in color. set up against the front of the creation" The hat proper is very large-a leghorn. cream colored. and shaped exactly like a clamshell, with the hinge side" to the front. It is from this hinge" that the heron feathers rise like porcupine quills
 The she'll slopes gently back and out beyond the actress shoulders. ana is lined with a delicate blue, it might perhaps be called an Alice blue. But whatever sort of blue it is. it is in charming contrast to Miss Nether- sole's Titan ringlets An enormous clam shell. whitened in the sun and painted blue on the inside. gives one a correct idea of this Nethersole head gear. created especially in Paris for the American tour.

 Crashes Into a Freight.
 Waterloo, Ia., Sept. 7.-Twelve per sons were killed and twelve others injured in the wreck of an express train on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad at Norris, Ia. The ex- press train, northbound, jumped the track while going at full speed, crash cd into a freight train standing on the siding.
 All the deaths were in the smoking car, which was caught between heavy mail car and a parlor car and crushed like an eggshell. There were about 100 passengers in the coaches behind the smoker, and they were all badly shaken, and many of them were cut by flying glass. The locomotive of the passenger train rammed the loco motive of the freight and went di- agonally across the siding into a steep bank. A baggage car was completely telescOped, and then the mail car acted as buffer against the smoker, which was filled with passengers and several members of the train crew.

OCEAN LINERS RACE
The Cunard Lines Newest Steam. CT WilIStart From Liverpool
 10 New York T0.Night.

New York, Sept. 7.-The advent of ship was never watched with keener interest than that displayed in the maiden voyage of the huge Cunard steamer Lustitania, which will sail from Liverpool for New York this evening. The Lustitania, which is expected to travel at a sustained speed of 25 knots an hour, represents new departure in marine architecture so far as her engines are concerned, and shipping men are deeply interested to see just how they will act. The engines are of the turbine type, heretofore consid- cred too costly to run for commercial use.
 Added interest is given to the trip of the Lusitania, by the fact that the managers of the Cunard line will start for New York the Lucania, hitherto their fastest ship and the record holder for the trip from Queenstown to New York, a few hours before the departure of the new steamer. It will actually be race and will thoroughly test the capabilities of the two types of steamers.
 The two great ships are command ed by two of the finest captains of the service, Captain Watt of the Lusitania and Captain Barr of the Lucania. Each will know how to get every ounce out of his vessel. They are quiet hammered, reticent men, with closed lips and steady eyes, men who will make the great race notable.
 Shipping men expect that the Lusitania will not only win but that she will break the transatlantic record now held by the Germans.

WAKES UP
France Realizes Now That the Moroccan Situation is One
 That Will Bother Them.
DRUl)E IS POWERLESS

Paris, Sept 7.-The French nation suddenly realized that the Moroccan question looms up bigger every day. The real question is will France be compelled, in order to crush the hos tile Moorish tribes and insure the safety of Casabanca, to despatch an imposing eXpeditionary army into the interior? for it is generally accepted that Gen Drude with his force, seven thousand men, is pOwerless to make punitive march against an anemy which may number even now over twenty thousand men and whose forces are reported to be constantly growing. Moreover, even if the French army moved against the Moors, Casablanca could not be left without strong garrison. as other wise it would be seized by the Moors. Another serious feature is that soon the warships will be unable to safely land troops on the Moroccan coast owing to the severe gales and heavy seas which prevail in the autumn.
 The French government has not changed it's attitude on the question of sending a military yeXpedition into the interior of Morocco. The last an- nouncement made on the subject was that the planned occupation of the principal Moroccan ports by the troops of France and Spain, preparatory to the establishment of the international police may necessitate sending heavy endorsements to Morocco, not for the purpose of conquest, but inorder to fulfill the duty of France to the powers and restore order in that country.
 The reports from Berlin to the ef- feet that Germany does not under stand the policy which France is fol- lowing in Morocco. shows that France, fettered by the restrictions of the AL geciraS convention. cannot make any movement without it's being liable to arouse distrust on the part of Ger many and other signatories of the convention. and at the same time places France in a most delicate posi- tion in trying to remove the suspic ions of the powers and at the same time pacify the MoorS.

PUPILLA'S BAND IN TROUBLE.
Uniforms Attached, Leader and Mu-
 sicians Discouraged.

It will coem as no great surprise to those who went to the concert given by Professor Lorenz Pupilla's band to learn that the band has come to fi- nancial grief in New Haven. The management of the tour brought in so little money that it is said many of the musicians were not properly fed and were unable to stand it any longer and went on strike. When this was done it was found that the man who had been acting as their man. ager while they were on tour, Frank St George, had already attached thelr handsome uniforms, worth $l,000 to cover a claim of s750, which he said he had backed the band with. Pa triotic Italians, however. soon came to their aid and put up bonds to cov- CT the claim made on them. One Ital- ian offered his services as a tempor- ary manager to take St Georges place and the whole affair was fixed up.
