CONVICT MEMBER
OF kAISER'S COURT

BERLIN, May 9.-Prince Iu Eu-
lenburg, around whose castle at Lie
benberg a picket of police has been
posted for the past week or more to
prevent his leaving the country, was
confronted today by two witnesses,
who testified at the Harden trial at
Munich on March 22d that the Prince
had been guilty of abominable prac-
tices twenty-five years ago.
AS the Prince in the second Hal :
den trial at Berlin swore to his conf
plete innocence of the charges in
sinuated by Harden in an article IN
Die Zukunft, of which he is edito",
the present action against him IS
based upon the charge of perjury. :
According to the Lokal Anzeiger
the Prince reiterated the oath, assert
ing that he did not know the two wit
nesses. These, however, gave testi-
mony of such character that the ex-
amining judge informed the Prince
that he was compelled to believe
them.

MELVIN'S HOME

E w. McGraw, general agent for thu
Westchester Fire Insurance Com
pany," was the closing testimony of
the days examination of Baby
John" Martin yesterday in Oakland
before Judge Mortimer Smith.
This statement, made for the first
time by the youthful witness, was
the result. of vigorous cross-exam-
ination by Attorney Frick, regarding
condolences made by Mrs. Martin to
the boy. No explanation was made
by the witness of the statement which
came just before adjournment. 1t Will
be the subject for further eXamina-
ton.
Il am satisfied with the way in
which Baby John is using me, SAID
Attorney Frick yesterday afternoon
after the session of the court. Il
have no kick coming on his testi-
mony, as he is evasive, hesitant, un-
certain as to dates and gives Just as
little information as possible to the
defense. This will not benefit us in
the lower court, because the Judge
here is simply sitting as committing
magistrate, but when it comes to the
upper court things will be different,
Yesterdays session was consumed
in taking the witness over the entire
direct testimony Baby John has
said horsewhip was purchased to
send to somebody for the purpose OF
intimidation 1t was used on him
instead, he said, yet he later ac-
knowledged that Mrs. Martin always
kept one to subdue her big mastiff.

Fight TO BLOCK
RATE ADVANCE

CHICAGO, May g. Convinced
that the railroads everywhere are d.
termined to advance freight rates,
call to arms was sounded among the
shippers today. The Illinois Manu-
facturers Association sent out u.'-
gent calls for more than 200 of the
chief commercial bodies of the coun-
try to send representatives to a mass
meeting in this city May 18th, to
plan an active campaign against the
proposed new rates
In this connection it was rumored
that sufficient pressure already has
been exerted to cause two of the biz
Eastern roads to serve notice that
they would withdraw from the agree
ment to advance rates. This was
taken as an especially hopeful sign,
for it is argued that if the railroads
do not present a solid front in the
matter the fight already is won. 1t
is also suggested that, in prosperous
years. the roads might better have dc
voted some of the surplus to better
ments instead of high dividends on
inflated securities.

Portland charged with murder, with
the murder of Frederick |. Danes

hacked with a cleaver. and then
dragged to rear room. where q
large spike was driven through the

DEMANDS COURT
FOR AN OFFICER

WASHINGTON May 9.-Prest-
William F. Stewart a court of in
quiry or Congress will be urged 10
pass a joint resolution giving him
this privilege. Roosevelt must make
up his mind by next week.
Senator Raynor, who threatens to
offer the joint resolution allowing
Colonel Stewart a. court of inquiry,
this afternoon received a letter from
the President in which Roosevelt
said final determination had no5
been reached, but he was inclined -
refuse the request for the reason that
it would establish a precedent by
which every officer with a fancied
grievance could demand similar treac-
ment Accompanying the letter were
the official papers in the case.
The President expressed the Opt
ion that Congress had no authority
to grant Colonel Stewart a court II
inquiry. The letter practically
amounts to defiance of the power
of Congress
Senator Raynor Immediately wrote
"a reply asserting the contrary. He
believes that exile to a remote. uu-
garrisoned post constitutes punish
ment. and that Colonel Stewart has
been condemned and punished with
ont an opportunity of defending HIM
self Officials OF the War Depar.-
ment hold that the exile may be a

MOORE HAS DESERTED THE
WIFE WHO WAS TRUETO HIM
Promoter and SWindler Who "Buncoed' Several Local
Parties, and Was Later Apprehended, Convicted,
and Fined, Shows the Cur He Is

The following, taken from the
Crookston Journal, will be read with
interest by the people who were
victimized by J. r. Moore, during
the winter of 1906:
John R. Moore freed from jail
thru the efforts of his wife, is said
to have shown his gratitude by
deserving the little woman who
secured his release. In district
court at Minneapolis his wife, Edna
Moore, has asked for divorce.
John R. Moore was in the police
tolls in January, 1907. 1t was
charged that he had fraudulently
secured large sums of money. He
was arrested in Minneapolis and
taken to Bemidji, where he pleaded
to criminal charge and was fined
$1,000. His wife in Minneapolis
raised the money and secured the
release of her husband, but it is
