DYNAMITED BRIDGE
Bold Attempt Made 10 Wreck
New Bridge Over The Rarl-
Ian River.

Perth Amboy, N j., March 25.-
An attempt to wreck the new Penn
sylvania railroad bridge over the
Raritan river between this city and
South Amboy was made early to-day
when charge of dynamite was eX-
ploded near one of the bridge abut-
ments. The structure was damaged
to the extent of about $4,000, but
the bridge did not fall, although it
was left in a condition regarded as
unsafe for the passage of trains. Tho
bridge was only recently completed
and trains were run across it yester-
day for the first time. About mid
night last night the Waterman who
was guarding the structure saw two
men prowling about it and kept
them under surveillance for some
time without discovering any eyi-
dence of mischief. About an hour
after they were last seen 4 quantity
of dynamite was exploded at the
base of one of the abutments. The
force of the explosion was sufficient
to awaken the residents several
miles distant. The police suspect
that the attempt at destruction is
the outcome of some i'll feeling over
the employment of men to build the
bridge.

Betting May BE Abolished.

Washington, March Psf the
Sims anti-betting bill, which passed
the house last Monday, is pushed in
the senate, as now appears likely.
betting at Benning may be abolished
before the end of the present spring
meeting. The measure is lacked on
a bill for widening Benning road and
therefore may be referred to the sub
committee on street improvements Of
the District of Columbia. Senator
Carter of Montana, chairman of this
subcommittee, is now in Florida at
tending the funeral of the late Sem
ator Bryan. but he is said TO favor
the anti-betting provision, as is also
Senator Bellinger. chairman of tbe
district committee. II is possible
that the bill will be reported to tha
senate on Friday afternoon.

HILL SNUBBED
The German Government Re.
fused 10 Receive Bim as
American Ambassador
ON PERSONAL GROUNDS

Washington, March 25-The Ger
man government has declined to re-
celve DR. David Jayne Hill in the ca
pacity if American ambassador to
succeed Charlemagne whose resigna-
ton has ben accepted to take effect
upon the qualification of his successor.
DR. Hill is at present American Min
lister to The Hague and was formerly
first assistant Secretary Of the state
under the administration of Secretary
Hay.
The objection to DR. Hill is sOne
purely personal to Emperor William
who has simply caused 1t to be made
known that the American diplomatist
is persona mn grata to him. The rea-
son for the emperors objection is
connected with the visit to America
several years ago Of his brother Prince
Henry the ranking admiral Of the
German navy. DR. Hill at that time
was first assistant secretary OF stats
and necessarily was brought into Off
cial contract with the distinguished
foreign visitors. Just what he did or
did not do to give offense is not
known here. A perplexing feature
Of the case is presented by the fact
that last November the German gov
ernment let it to be known that DR.
Hill would be cordially received as
American ambassador to Berlin.
the German foreign Office cordially
responded to the usual cautious
overtures from the state department
here as to his availability for ap-
pointment as ambassador. So to-
days decision of the German en-
peror has come as a complete sur
prise to official Washington. 1t is
nevertheless final as far as DR. Hill
Is concerned, for the etiquette that
governs international relations does
not permit of any question Of the
right of a sovereign to interpose an
objection to the reception of any Of
fetal who comes to his post in the
extraordinary and personal charac-
ter of ambassador.

TO THE COUNTY HOME.
Huntington Man Failed to Take Good
Care of Children.

Shelton. March 25.-Franklin
Beeman, a stationary engineer of
Huntington, was temporarily de-
prived of the care of his six children
by Judge David A. Nichols yesterday.
The case was prosecuted by General
Agent Gardiner of the Connecticut
Humane society, who extended to
Beeman several chances to reform
the management of his household.
Complaints against Beeman began
about the first of December, when it
was said that he was living with his
six children in tive-room house un-
der conditions that were unsanitary.
The six children were sent to the
County Temporary home. They are:
Ethel aged II, Mabel 10, Wesley S,
Hazel G, Stanley 5, Leroy 4.

Yesterday he sued to have set aside
this contract, charging that his wife
failed to deliver the love and affec-
ton. Mrs Drewitz is worth $400,.
600 in real estate.

Medical Students Challenge Christian
Scientists to One With Germs.
c. f. Meixell and Robert G. Lang
students in tho Baltimore Medical col
Iege, have challenged followers Of
Christian Science to duel to the death
with pure tested culture of Streptc-
coecus pyogenes. The. germ to be used
is considered deadly. The challengers
propose to be inoculated with 1t if two
followers of Christian Sciegsce will do
likewise. In their challenge Meixell
and Lang say:
We are perfectly willing in order to
demonstrate the fallacy OF the doc
trines of Christian Scientists to allow
ourselves to be inoculated with a pure
tested culture Of Streptococcus pyo-
genes, provided any two followers of
the faith do the same. We are to rely
upon medicinal treatment aud ouf
Christian Science friends upon their
mode Of treatment for relief. 1t seems
to us that test fair and square is the
only means to prove or disprove the
value and properties of medicinal treat
ment or the foolishness and fallacy of

MOVE IN TOBACCO WAR.
Trust Comes to Terms With the
White BurIey Growers.
WILL PAY MORE FOR LEAF.
Dark District, In Which Most Of the
Night Riding Has Been Done, Not
Affected by SettIement-Report Dis
credited In Some Quarters.

Cincinnati, March 25.-The American
Tobacco company has surrendered to
the Kentucky white hurley tobacco
planters, associated as the American
Society of Equity, which has been
waging strenuous war upon the trust
for more than year. --r.
1t is said In an unofficial report Of
the settlement of the controversy be-
tween the planters and the trust that
the trust has bought the pooled crops
of 1905 and 1907 at prices far above
those dictated by the buying corpora
ton at the time Of the split between
them and the planters. The total
amount to be paid for the tobacco that
the association has in warehouses and
which it was holding, refusing to sell
at the prices offered, is S14,000,OO0
The price to be paid for the 1906 crop
is 16 cents pound and for the next
years output 18 cents. In the settle
ment the planters decided not to raise
crop this year.
A prominent member of the Society
said:
1T is all settled. The cruel war is
over, and we have won. There will be
no more night riding or violence, but
there will be no 1908 crop of tobacco.
The American Tobacco company has
agreed to buy all the pooled leaf of the
1906 and 1907 crops and will pay near
ly $14,000OOO for 1t. We have prevailed
In the justice fight and are now conf
dent that the farmer and renter can
raise tobacco and have some money at
the end of the season after paying the
grocery bills"
The report, which comes from mem
bers of the planters society and has
not yet been verified by the other side,
is discredited by many conversant with
the situation.
The agreement as reported only af-
fects the white hurley districts and has
no relation to the dark tobacco dis
tricts, in which most Of the night rid
ing Outrages have taken place.
The light or hurley tobacco district
covers fifty-five counties in Kentucky,
several in Ohio and two or three in
West Virginia. The region in Ken
lucky is in the northern and central
part of the state. The dark tobacco
district embraces fourteen counties in
western Kentucky and several in Ten
nessee.
Advices from Lexington, KY, say
that the failure of the Kentucky au-
thorities to run down perpetrators of
outrages committed by might riders"
has caused direct appeal TO the presi-
dent Of the United States for federal
Interference. 1t is In the form of Pc
tition prepared by leading men of Lex
ington and central Kentucky. The petit
TONERS are aware the president can
take no action unless the governor so
requests, but they say it is their pur-
pose by this means TO bring the two
executives together.
