18-HOUR TRAINS TOO FAST.
Prominent chicagoans Want Them
Slowed Down.

CHICAGO, March 12.-More more fifty of
the most prominent persons in Chicago who
are patrons of the Twentieth Century Lin
tied and the Pennsylvania special trains
running between New York and Chicago
in eighteen hours want these trains slowed
to a run Of twenty hours during the winter
months.
A petition requesting President Newman
of the New York Central lines and Pres-
dent McCrea of the Pennsylvania lines to
take such action is being industriously cir
culated in the clubs. None but known pat
rons of the trains are being sought as sign
ers and already between fifty and one hum
dred names have been attached.
Among the names which have been at
tached are the following:
]. ]. Mitchell, president of the Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank; j. B. Forgan,
president of the First National Bank. John
Spoor, president of the Chicago Junction
railway; James H. Eckels, president of the
Commercial National Bank: F. s. Peabody,
Keep, executor of the Field estate; F. Win
ston, attorney for the Michigan Central and
Alton roads; Fred w. Upham of the board
of review; s. M. FELTON,, president Of the
Alton railway; w. v. Telley and ]. H.
Hutchins.
Every signer questioned said that owing
to the Mentor wreck of the Twentieth Cen
fury Limited and the more recent wreck
Of the Pennsylvania special, eighteen hours
Is too fast for a winter scredule. Some
think the trains too fast for safety, while
others think they are not too fast, but would
rather start to New York on a schedule
which they know the roads could maintain.
It Is emphatically denied by the railroad
men who signed the petition that it Is a
scheme by the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central lines to find an excuse for
lengthening the schedules, or that it is the
beginning of a movement to reduce the
speed of all the fast trains in the country.

DEFENDER OF SWETTENHAM
Wall in the Commons From Jesse Col
of Jamaican Intrigue

LONDON, March 12.-During a debate on
colonial affairs in the house Of commons
Jesse Ceilings attacked the government for
it's treatment of Gov. Swettenham of ia
maica whom he describes as now the vic
tim of local intrigues. Mr.. Ceilings testi-
fed from his personal observation that dur
ing the earthquake Gov. Swettenham was
cool and calm: that he kept order through
out the trouble. inspired confidence, OBJ
tanned labor and arranged for the care of
the injured long before American aid ar
rived.
In demanding that the American marines
be re-embarked he had acted as entirely be-
came a British governor. The American
officers took different view of the disor-
ders than did the British officers. They
were apt to shoot when they saw crowd
of black people pilfering. and in such a case
the vast colored population, outnumbering
the whites twenty to one, and having no
great love for the American flag, might
have been goaded to violence and insurrec
ton.
Nobody doubted Rear Admiral Davis good
intentions. but he was misled by false in
formation from intriguers. Gov. Swetten-
ham was grateful for his assistance, but he
would not have foreign armed men on Brit
ish territory. There was absolutely no need
for them.
Mr.. Ceilings admitted that there were
faults in the correspondence, but said that
these were by no means wholly on Gov.
Swettenham's side. He had seen a private
letter showing that the alleged animosity
between Gov. Swettenham and Admiral Da-
Wis did not exist.
The official apologies sent to the United
States by the British government had COM
PEELED Gov. Swettenham as a man Of honor
to resign, but his resignation was discred-
liable to Great Britain, and he demanded
restitution. Mr.. Ceilings interposition led
nowhere, being awkwardly interpolated in
the midst of another topic. which was re-
sumed Immediately he had finished

STOPS ANTI-JAP LAWS.
President Sends Telegram to the Gov
ernor of California.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday stopped all Japan
csc legislation in the California legisla-
ture by the following telegram to Gov.
Gillette, who sent it to the assembly:
action Of legislature reported in this
mornings papers most unfortunate In eff
feet upon my efforts to secure exclusion Of
Japanese laborers by friendly agreement
and if continued will probably render re-
cent legislation of Congress for that pur-
pose ineffective. Please secure suspension
of further action until receipt of letter from
me. THEODORE ROOSEV ELL.
The assembly intended to act today on
two bills and a resolution adopted by the
senate on Saturday. Gov. Gillette sent
with the telegram MESSAGE urging the
house to comply with the Presidents re-
quest The assembly by viva voce vote
decided to take no action on the bills on
file.
The legislative action referred to by the
President was the passage by the senate
Of a bill limiting the age of children OF all
races to ten years when first entering pri-
mary schools; of a measure prepared by
the Japanese-korean Exclusion League
submitting the question of Asiatic exclu-
sion to a vote of the people, and resolu-
ton protesting against japanese naturall-
cation.
The message created momentary excite
ment in the lower house Then Grove l..
Johnson expressed his confidence In the
governor and the President, said the ques-
ton should be left to them, and moved
that the assembly take no action on the
Japanese question at this session.
The motion was carried without debate.
Secretary Loeb made this statement to-
night:
"President Roosevelt in his telegram re-
ouested Gov. Gillette to withhold his ap-
prevail of the bills relating to the Japanese
question passed by the California legisla-
ture until the governor receives the letter
forwarded by the President Sunday night,
in which the President sets forth at length
his reasons why such legislation would be
| detrimental at this time"
Secretary Loeb pointed out that Secre-
tary Root and the Japanese ambassador,
Viscount Aoki, are engaged In negotiating
a new treaty, which has for the time being
been held up pending the action Of Mayor
Schmitz and the San Francisco school
board in carrying out the agreement
reached in the recent White House confer
ences in which the San Francisco delega-
ton participated.

REBATE GIVING CHARGED.
Allegation That the D., l., and W.
Favored the Sugar Trust.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE trial of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail-
road Company on a charge of granting re-
bates on sugar shipments from Brooklyn
to Buffalo and points west was begun be-
fore Judge Hough IN the United States
court yesterday. 1t is charged that the re-
bate was allowed in the form of payments
made to Lowell NJ. Palmer which the de-
PENDANT company claims were made to reim-
burse Palmer for personal loss through
diversion Of freight from his Brooklyn
docks, the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western shipments not being handled in
the usual way. The government contends,
however, that inasmuch as Palmer was the
Sugar Refining Company and had charge of
all its shipments, the payments constituted
violation of the anti-rebate law.
The governments evidence is said to be
very similar to that upon which the New
York Central Railroad Company was con-
victed of rebating and fined a total of 1918,
600. Counsel for the defense asked at the
opening of the trial that the court direct
the jury to return verdict for the &C
cused inasmuch as the indictment did not
allege that rebates had knowingly been
paid to the American Sugar Refining Com
pany. The motion was denied.
The opening argument for the government
was made by Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Wise, who prepared the
case; also the case of the government
against the New York Central railroad. He
said he would show that the sugar company
got an advantage of one cent per 100
pounds during 1902 1903 and 1904 over Its
competitors on all sugar shipments to Buff
falo, and two cents per 100 pounds on all
shipments beyond that city, and that the
contract had been made, with the knowl-
edge of President Truesdale, Vice President
Caldwell and Traffic Manager Flynn of the
Delaware Lackawanna and Western rail-
way, with Lowell M. Palmer and H. o.
Havemeyer as the proprietors of an al
legged lighterage business in New York.
Several witnesses were examined, includ-
ing Augustus p. Thompson, the freight
claim agent of the defendant corporation.
He said he paid all freight claims made
upon the company, and produced a men,
oranduLl handed him by P. j. Flynn, the
general freight traffic manager Of the
Lackawanna company, stating that an
extra allowance on al sugars shipped over
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad should be paid to Lowell NJ. Pal
