HEAVY FINES
For Violation Of Proposed Interstate
Liquor Shipping Law.

Washington. April Ex-senator
Clarke of Wyoming today reported to
tine Senate the bill drafted by Senator
Knox and approved by the judiciary
committee to regulate interstate ship
ments of intoxicating liquors. The
bill deals with only three of the ques-
ticns raised in connection with this
subject 1t provides that shipments of
intoxicating liquors from one state or
territory or from foreign country to
another state or country must be de-
livered to the person to whom they
we're consigned or upon the written or
der of the bona fide consignee. Fail
ure to comply with this provision or
the delivery of the shipment to any fic-
titious person or any person under
fictitious name will subject the guilty
officer or employee Of any railroad COM
pany, express company or other COM
mon carrier to a fine of not more than
$4,000.
The second section provides against
the agent of the common carrier acting
as the agent for the buyer or seller of
intoxicating liquors and the third sec
ton requires that packages of liquor
shall he so labelled on the outside COW
er as to plainly show the nature of its
contents and the quantity contained
therein.
The latter two provisions are SUBJ
jcct to the same penalties as the first.
In the case of liquors shipped from a
foreign country the provisions of the
act are not to take effect until 60 days
after its passage.

AN UNDERSTANDING
Reached on the Alleged Misunder
standing At Hardin.

Washington, April! 13.-Secretary
Root had long conference at the
state department today with the Rus
sian ambassador. Baron Rosen. the
feature of which was the Manchurian
situation and in consequence when the
ambassador left Washington this al
ternoOn for New York on his way to
Russia he bore with him the last
words of the American state depart
ment on that important subject. The
interview was entirely satisfactory on
both sides. From the Russian view
point, it was made plain to Sec. Root
that the local Russian officials in Har-
bin were deserving of support in their
efforts to rehabilitate that important
trade center and resume the execution
of the ambitious plans that had been
formed by the Russian government
for the development of the city before
the war with Japan. Therefore the OBJ
lection of American Consul Fisher to
full recognition of the Russian au-
thority at Hardin was found to be
based rather upon the form in which
the local Russian officials proposed to
attain their objects and not to the OBJ
jects themselves.
Therefore it may be stated that there
will be no further friction between the
American consul and the Russian gov
e1nment at Hardin over this incident.

STATE RIGHTS
Will Probably Bob Up As Usual, Re-
CARELESS of This Bill.

Washington. April 13.-To meet con-
flicts between federal courts and state
authorities such as have arisen dur
ing the past year in Minnesota, North
Carolina, Alabama and other states
the Senate committee on the judiciary
reported a bill today directing the
method of procedure in cases where
an effort is made in the federal courts
to enjoin state officials from enforcing
state laws. The bill is compromise
between measures introduced by Sem
ators Overman, Bacon and the late
Senator Bryan of Florida, and was re-
ported by Overman. 1t has received
much attention at the hands of the
committee and is intended not only to
lessen the frequency of injunctions in
such eases. but to modify the process
when it is resorted to. 1t prohibits
any one federal judge from granting
such an injunction. but requires that
all applications for such orders shall
be heard by at least three federal
judges, two of whom shall be circuit
Judges while the third may be either
a circuit or a district judge. 1t also
requires at least five days notice to
the state authorities and grants direct
appeal to the supreme court of the
United States

TENDERLoiN TRAGEDY.
Woman and Man Dead and Another
Man, Under Arrest In New York.

New York. April 1.-THE midriff of the
TenderlOin produced another tragedy to-
day. quite as srussome and my sterious
as others that have made certain Sec
lions of the city notorious When the
police reached the scene. Kate PelteI
had been strangled to death with a towel
bound tightly about her neck; Vito Del
la Badia. a cloth cutter and once a
companion of the woman. was dead with
his throat cut, while Charles A. Berger
a bcilermalser, who occupied the fiat
where the killing occurred. was bleeding
from wounds in the side made with; q
bread knife.
Berger will probably die. He told the
police that he discovered Badia robbing
the fiat and that the latter attacked
him and then killed himself. Berger is
under arrest at a hospital.
The Peter woman came here two years
ago from Chicago and is said to nave
been the widow of a tailor of that city.
She possesses a considerable amount Of
jewelry and at one time is said to have
been well provided with money.

ASSET CURRENCY LAW
Favored BY Bankers At Hearing on
Adrich Financial Bill.

Washington, April 13.-The Aldrich
financial bill as passed by the Sem
ate vas handled without gloves today
by speakers before the House commit
tee on banking and currency. which is
considering the measure. Except
Charles c. Glover, president of the
, Riggs National Bank of this city. none
of those heard today favored the pas
sage at present of an emergency meas
ure. The sentiment was almost unani-
nous that if a permanent financial bill
cannot become a law now, no attempt
should be made to amend the present
laws.
The speakers who followed Mr.. Glow
err. representing interests in Minneapo-
lis. st. Paul. Boston. New York. Phil
adelphia and Richmond Va. took issue
with his statement that financial con-
ditions have not improved. They said
that they SAW no signs of an impend-
ing panic. One OF the sections most
freely criticized was the LaFollette
amendment, providing that no nation
al banking association shall invest any
part Of its funds or deposits in the
stocks or other securities OF any cor
poration or association, any of the Of
fcers or directors of which are officers
o. directors of such banking associa-
tons. 1t was contended that this would
drive the most desirable men of a
community out of the directorate of a
bank.
| An asset. currency bill was favored
by many of the speakers and the APP
pointment- of a commission to inves-
tigate the whole subject and report to
Congress was generally favored. The
hearing will be resumed tomorrow.

THE OLD CONTROVERSY
Regarding Fortifications In Philippines
Aired In the House.

Washington. April Reconsideration OF
the naval appropriation bill was resumed
in the House today
The House voted DOWN an amendment
by Mr. Hitchcock. Neb., limiting to 50
cents pound the price at which powder
shall be sold to the government. The
present price is 81 cents and it was dis
closed that the government produced it
for II cents. Mr. Foss declared that be-
cause of the fact that the government
now manufactures one-third of the pow
der used by it it practically controlled
the situation and was in a position where
by appropriation the plants could be in
creased and the government make all the
powder needed by it.
An amendment by Sparkman. Fla, APP
proplia,ing 100000 for yards. docks, foun-
dry. etc. at Key West, Fla, was ruled
out on point of order made by Foss.
When the provision relating to the
nava! station at Olangape, Philippines.
was reached, the old controversy over
the fertilization of Subig and Manila
bays cropped up. 1Iobson declared that
anyone who would choose between the
two would choose Manila bay The whole
question. he said, was simply ore of de-
fence.
I'VE cannot hold Subg bay 10 days"
lie said. I'VE can hold Manila bay 80
DAYS" The only way to hold the islands
at ali, he asserted was to control the
sec. At present the United States had
only temporary control. He contended
that an army from Asia could land and
take Subig bay from the rear without
any resistance and then proceed to cap
ture Manila city and Manila bay.
But" he said. 1.-THE lines would be
drawn in. and the army estimates it
could only hold out 30 days"
Foss vigorously supported the appro-
priation for Suhig bay and quoted Ad-
miral Dewey and other high naval off,
GERS to the effect that Suhig bay was the
only place where a naval station and land
defences Should be or could be estab-
lished in the Philippines.
At this juncture the bill was laid aside
with an amendment by Jones. Va, pend
ing striking out the appropriation for
the improvement of the Subig bay naval
station and the House took recess until
tomorrow.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
Will Try Their Luck Today In State
Convention Nominations.

New York, April 13-The Democrat
ic state convention which will open at
Carnegie hall at noon tomorrow,
promises to be as interesting in its de-
liberations as in it's conclusions. A
two days session is planned and un-
less all signs fail, the time allotted will
be fully required for the business in
hand
First and foremost there will be
determined fight in the interests of the
candidacy of William Jennings Bryan.
The Bryan men will probably lose and
an uninstructed delegation will prob
ably be sent to the national conven-
ton at Denver.
The defeat of the Bryan men who
will be in the minority is quite likely
to be accomplished in the committee
on resolutions. The committee con-
trolled by Tammany Leader Charles
F. Murphy and Chairman w. j. Con-
nors is expected to squelch anything
proposed in the way of minority re-
port The report of the majority will
probably criticize the Republican ad-
ministration and invite a Democratic
victory in November. but will avoid
mention of Presidential candidates
and resolve that an uninstructed dele
CATION he sent to the national conven-
ton. Any subsequent attempt to get
the name OF Mr.. Bryan before the con-
vention will be downed.
Anticipating tOmorrOw's action Au-
gustus Thomas, the president and 9TH
ers of the Bryan Democratic Progress
sive League, tonight issued state
ment demanding the endorsement of
Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Thomas has obtained
the proxy Of an upstate delegate and
will make a fight on the floor of the
convention to have the league state
ment adopted as resolutions.
The Tammany organization was
taken by surprise late today when Sen
ator McCarren secured supreme
court writ, compelling the placing up
on the temporary roll call. the McCar-
rem delegates from Brooklyn.
There was a meeting of the Bryan
League tonight at which it was decid-
ed to strongly support President
Thomas. Chairman Connors will call
the convention to order, and Tempo
rary Chairman Carmody, who will
probably preside throughout. will make
the principal set speech to the gather
ing.
