COST OF KAUFMANN CASE
witnesses and Experts Are Filing
Claims for Testimony Given
During Trial.

SIOUX FALLS, s. L., July 2.-(SpeciaI.)
The character OF the bills which have
been filed by some Of the medical experts
who were summoned to testify in behalf
of the prosecution indicates that the re-
cent trial in the state circuit court of
Moody county on q change OF venue from
the circuit court OF Minnehaha county Of
Mrs. Emma Kaufman of this city on the
charge of having murdered her young
housemaid will prove quite expensive for
the taxpayers OF Minnehaha county who
will have TO foot the bills. A bill for S55
already has been filed by DR.. II. b. scho-
field OF Parkston, and, II rumors are based
upon a good foundation, this sum does not
represent the amount OF his entire claim.
DIR. Frank f. Coulter OF Omaha has filed a
bill for 1880 while DIR. Arthur Sweeney
OF ST, Paul has filed a bill for a similar
amount. Drs. Coulter and Sweeney were
the principal medical experts who were
present at the trial OF Mrs Kaufman
and whose testimony strongly supported
the cause of the prosecution.
The Board OF County Commissioners OF
Minnehaha county doubtless will be called
upon to adjust these claims.

COMPLAINTS OF JAPANESE
San FrRnciscO OmcinIs Say Licenses
Are Not Granted to Any
but Citizens.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-In response to
mn inquiry the Japanese consul today in
formed the Associated Press that no de-
cision has yet been reached as TO whether
suit shall be brought in the courts to re-
cover in behalf of the Japanese residents
OF San Francisco who suffered loss In
wrecking on May % OF a Japanese res
taurant and bath house in Folsom street
by a mob. The matter was described as
being at the present time in statu quo.
1t was said by a representative of the
consul general that the consulate is not now
awaiting instructions from Toxic, but Is
simply delaying action for further con-
sideration Of the incidents OF the attack
It was further said that the consulate
was investigating the complaint of local
Japanese that their race is being discrim-
mated against by the Board of Police
Commissioners in refusing to grant them
liquor licenses, Junk licenses, intelligence
Office licenses and licenses for similar mu-
nicipal privileges The reply of the board
lie that it is acting under an ordinance
which forbids the issuance of liquor licenses
to any save citizens OF this country and
persons who have declared their, Intention
of becoming citizens and in accordance
WIN the Euie lot the Doard that other
licenses named shall not be granted to for
eigners until American residents have more
fully recovered from the business shock
of last years earthquake and fire. The
consulate looks with suspicion on this de-
fense, but wishes to be understood as de-
sirous of investigating further before maxi
ing any definite recommendation to the
Toxic government.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-The fact that
there is no apparent discrimination as a
race against the Japanese, who made ap-
plication in San Francisco to establish in
telligence Offices and who were refused this
privilege, has been received with evident
satisfaction by officials of the embassy
here, and they say this being the case
there is nothing for them to do nor have
they any comment to make.

JODBERS ARE AFTER RELIEF
Ask Many Changes in Classifcations
as Now in Vogue.
BIGGEST DOCKET EVER OFFERED
over Four Hundred Glasses Presented
20 the Convention which Meets
This Month to Adjust the
the Schedules.

Evidently the state legislatures are not
the only sources of grief for the railroads.
y The western classification committee,
which is to meet at Charlevoix. Mich,
July 16, and for two or three days there
after. will consider the biggest docket that
has ever come before It, Four hundred and
twenty-five changes in classification are
demanded by the shipping interests of the
country, compared with 800 changes de-
manded a year ago, when the docket was
considered a phenomenally large one. The
committee will be obliged to consider, or
at least pretend to consider, each one of
these items separately.
"It is not an indication of anti-railroad
sentiment" said member of the Omaha
Commercial club. but merely of a de-
termination on the part of the business
men to ask for what is rightfully theirs.
Exposures of railroad methods in the last
few years. with especial emphasis on the
enormous profits in the freight traffic, to-
gether with the constant study of the rate
fabric by business men, have resulted
in an awakening of the jobbers They
are demanding more than they ever did
because they realize more than ever the
weight. Of the tribute levied on them by
the railroads"
Omaha's Interest in Meeting.
The matter OF changes in classification is
not alone between the shippers and the rail-
roads, but In many cases is a controversy
between various classes of shippers. For
instance, the Omaha jobbers will keep up
their time-honored fight against mixed car
load rating, while the jobbers of st. Louis
and Chicago will champion II; the latter
are, in fact, the agitators of the movement
for mixed carload rating in the country
west of the Mississippi The Mississippi
jobbers would like to ship mixed carloads
TO all Nebraska towns and steal away
Omaha's trade. AS this would injure the
home market and would not benefit the Ne
braska retailers, the Omaha jobbers have
the support of their entire tributary terri
tory. Kansas City, Sioux City and other
western trade centers stand with Omaha
II Is not feared that the eastern jobbers
will accomplish much toward the end they
desire.
Commissioner John NJ. Guild Of the Com
mercial club will represent Omaha at the
meeting at Charlevoix. He will leave the
latter part of next week In order to attend
the subcommittee meeting, which proceeds
the regular committee meeting.

COMMERCIAL CLUB THANKS
Appreciation OF FavOrs shown In
Connection with Late Booster
Trip.

At q meeting OF the executive committee
OF the Omaha Commercial club, held Tues
day afternoon, the following was adopted:
Whereas. Under the auspices of the Com
mercial club OF Omaha a special train
carrying ninety representative business men
and the governor OF Nebraska, left Omaha
for the Pacific coast June 2, 1907 on the
Burlington lines and returned to Omaha
on June lS, 1907, over the Union Pacific
Whereas This was longest trip ever
made in a special train FOR the expansion
% commercial interests, and.
Whereas The cordiality and welcome ex-
tended by all cities visited by this excur-
sion party, evince its great success, and,
Whereas, This phenomenal success was
In large measure due to the well ar
ranged plans OF the Omaha Commercial
club trade extension committee for the care
and comfort of members Of the party, as
well as every detail-to the presence OF
Hon, George W. Sheldon. governor OF Me-
braska, who accompanied the party on the
entire trip-to the unstinted greetings of
the people at every point visited. and also
TO the valuable assistance OF the railroads
from the time the train left Omaha on
the Burlington until it's arrival at Omaha
over the Union Pacific, and,
Whereas, II was an inspiration for the
members of the party to note the vast
expenditures that had been incurred by the
Union Pacific In installing block signals
double tracking, heavy steel rails, the re-
duction OF grades and the elimination OF
curves, making II possible for that line to
handle the increasing volume OF business

CENTRAL AMERICAN ALLIANcE
Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador
Are Said TO ne working
Against Capitalization.

PUERTO CORTEZ. Honduras. June ~
Cvia New Orleans) Jut 2-within the last
few days a new comb hation has appeared
on the central American checkerboard of
five republics where President Zelaya has
been rnaneuvering for several months by
means OF revolutionary plots to consolidate
the five countries under one government.
The new combination is reported to be
Honduras. Guatemala and Salvador Their
understanding was made at TegucigalpH,
Honduras capital. and aims at the defeat
Of the consolidation.
Special ministers from Guatemala and
Salvador recognized Provisional President
Davilla as president of Honduras and he
agreed as reported in Washington des-
patches to act Independently OF the con-
troll Of Nicaragua. zelaya's candidate for
the Honduran presidency was Terencio
Sierra and in recognizing Davilla the
Guatemsian and Salvadoran diplomats
strengthened the hold OF a president hostile
to zelaya and thereby robbed the latter of
the fruits of his successful Honduran war.
namely the opportunity to name a presl-
dent who would obey him.
The first move Of the new combination
was to force the evacuation Of Honduras
by Nicaraguan troops Thereby Puerto
Bsrrios. Guatemala. within the last week
has been relieved Of The menace Of
General Estrsda's Nicaraguan army, which
for many weeks camped in Honduras
within a few hours qf striking distance
from Guatemala. Sinca the evacuation the
defeated generals of former President
Manuel Bonilla have been returning to
their country and some of them have been
invited on missions TO Tegucigaipa, which
are considered significant
1t is reported that Zelaya did not yield
to the demand for evacuation until his en-
voy, Gamez, who recently conferred with
President Diaz of Mexico, received the re-
fusal Of Diaz to act with Nicaragua in an
attack upon Guatemala. 1t is reported also
that Nicaragua has already spent between
81, 100000 and $3.GOOo0o IN the attempts to place
men Of zelayas choice in the presidential
chairs of other republics, and that the peo-
pie are disconnected with the large expendi-
lures Nicaragua issued about s., ,0o0, 900 in
treasury notes, a percentage of which were
to be redeemed in customs duties
Blame for the failure of the recent revo-
luton In Salvador in which Nicaraguans
participated, is laid partly to the choice
of Dr. Alfaro as leader. II is said that
many Salvadoreans were ready for revolu-
tion, but that they would not follow Alfaro,
preferring General Barahona. who, how
ever. was not pleasing to President Zelaya.
