Reluctant to Dismiss Case.

In his censure of the Alton railroad
officials Judge Lands gave reason for
belief that he was reluctant to dismiss
the charges.
Among other things" said the
court in his arraignment OF the rail-
road officials, lone circumstance that
weighed heavily with the court in de.
termining what ought to be done with
the Chicago & Alton railroad was the
keeping of false records by the com.
pany. These records, containing ficti-
tious accounts, were later used in
forging other accounts by the railroad
company's agents. These agents were
compelled to do so.
To-day there are many men in the
penitentiary serving sentences for
making false entries such as this rail
road company compelled its agents to
make. That seemed to me to be Of
such a character and such a state of
criminality that the order for your APP
pearance was entered. 1t developed
that previous to this order some one
representing the government had

made some agreement with the prose-
cution by which the railroad company
would be exempt from prosecution, the
purpose being to find out by whom,
when and under what conditions the
published rates were reduced"
The court then made clear the fact
that it was at the request of the attor-
ney general that the motion of District
Attorney Sims was granted for the
dismissal of the rebate charges.

lTY FOR $2o,5oo, GOO OUTLAW
LEGAL QUESTION IS INVOLVED
Yankee Shippers Challenge the Gov
ernment's Right to Use Alien
Vessels.

Washington, d. CAS- nearly as
navy department is going to place the
responsibility for spending the $2,50O,-
600 for coal for the Pacific cruise of
the %battleship fleet upon the shoulders
of President Roosevelt. He said
that owing to the important legal and
political questions involved he will not
act until after consultation with the
president.
The political question is, whether
congress will So quietly by and see
what one of the naval journals char
acterizes as a display of cheap poll
tics and ill-advised vainglory."
The legal question is, whether the
proposed employment of foreign regis
tered ships in the transportation of
coal from one American port to an
other, in apparent violation of the
coastwise navigation laws, is really
setting the laws OF congress in con-
tempt.
Must Use Foreign ships.
The administration has been ad-
vised by Attorney General B%onaparte
that the discretion vested in the presi-
dent for using foreign bottoms, If he
thinks the rates made by American
ships are too high, absolves him from
the obligation in the coastwise law.
But if foreign ships are used it will
not be a question of rates, but of suffi-
cient tonnage and promptness.
If the fleet is to go to the Pacific for
eign ships must be employed to carry
coal. The cruise must be postponed,
otherwise, until such time as the lin
tied American shipping facilities can
nov the coal.
The courts will not intervene in any
case where discretion is vested in an
administrative officer, unless it is
charged that he is Influenced by cor
ruption or other fraudulent motives.
None of the protesting American ship
n go as far IS that.
Admiral Cowles, chief of the bureau
of equipment, said today that from a
cursory examination of the bids it is
evident that not a pound of Welsh
coal will be used, because of the low
bids for carrying American coal in for
eign bottoms.
Calls 1t an Outrage.
w. l.. Marvin, a representative Of
American shipping interests, gave out
a statement in which he said
the proposed award to foreign ships is
an outrage against American ship own
ers and American sailors and Amer
lean laborers, because it deprives them
of the benefits of the protective policy
which this governmo nt applies to
every other American industry.
He contends that the employment
American shipping make the cost of
operating an American ship so high
that it requires $4,000 a year more to
operate an American steam collier
than a British ship of the same ca
pacity.
He contends that the employment
of foreign ships would be as fragrant
a violation of law as that committed
by the Standard Oil Co.

creases at the leading cities as the va
cation season closes. and the opening
of fall lines is attended with most sat
isfactory results. As the staple crops
are secured and marketed there - q
prompt improvement in mercantile col
lections throughout the agricultural
districts. and the decline in prices was
especially helpful in stimulating eX-
port trade. Free shipments of grain
and cotton are particularly desira bic
this year on account of the relief that
will be given to the money market
There is still much conservatism in
placing contracts for future business,
and decreased speculation is another
factor that aids in restoring normal
financial conditions.
Speculative liquidation reduced prices
of grain somewhat, but the wheat mar
ket was buoyant. The rise had check
ed export inquiries, and at the more
reasonable figures there was resump-
ton of foreign demand

WILL DISCUSS
C0VERNORSHIP
AT A CAUCUS
Delegates TO the RepuhIicanSiale
Convention Will Meet Tonight
for the Purpose.
SEE HANEY IN MOVE.
Think Strong Is Trying TO Line Up
MiddIesex TO be Delivered
At Convention By Him.

What is believed by politicians to
be a move on the part of George J.
Haney to get the local delegates to
the republican state convention in
| line, is the call for caucus of the
delegates tonight at the Garfield
Battery rooms. The call is signed
with the name of Ira B. Tice, BUT
there are some who have seen them
who declare they look very much like
Haney
1t is evident in the minds of some
that "Dory' Strong is anxious to go
to the state convention and be able
to deliver the solid vote of Middle
sex to whomever the leaders se-
lect, thus proving that he is still in
control here. To further this ambi-
tion of Strong, it becomes Haney's
duty to deliver this city's delegates
to the county boss.
1t is known that some of the Ri
delegates to the state convention
favorable to Gilbert Collins, of J
sey City, for the nomination. AS G.
Inns has withdrawn, however, it
not definitely known where these
men now stand.
There is good reason for believ-
ing that Strong would like to deliver
the solid Middlesex vote to J. Crank
lin Fort. Senator Jackson, Strong's
personal representative in the legis-
( lature, was the man who railroaded
! through the famous Amboy bridge
/ bill at the time when an investiga-
ton into the matter was pending be-
fore Justice Fort
Another reason for Strong's desire
to deliver the Middlesex vote is to
prove his power in the county, to
vindicate himself and to curry favor
with the new governor, should a re-
publican be elected.
Just what the outcome of the eau
Gus tonight will be cannot be To-
told, but it is certain that some a
the delegates will raeuse to he bourd

5 should be made to force the unit raIe

vention from this city are. H E.
