to Supreme Court.

In the case of Pere Alfredo Luis Baglin

Supreme Court of the United States will
be called upon to determine the effect of
the edict Of the French government of
1903. expelling the religious orders from
Father Baglin is the superior of the Order
of Carthusian Monks, the manufacturers
for ages past of the liquor known as
"Chartreuse." When the monks were
driven from their monastery, known as
the Grand Chartreuse at Dayphone. their
plant was cOnfiscated, and a receiver who
was appointed by the French government.
continued to manufacture liquor which
| he labeled "Chartreuse." The monks con-
tend that the receiver does not know the
secret Of their formula, and notwth-
| standing they do not themselves longer
use the label on their products. which are
now manufactured at Tarragone, Spain,
| they ask the federal courts of the
| United States to prohibit the use in this
country of the old label by the agent of
| the French government, on the ground
that 1t is a fraud upon the public The
case was tried in the United States cir
| cult court for the southern district of
New York, where an injunction was
granted, despite the action of the French
government and of the French courts in
| support Of It; but the circuit court Of ap-
| the present manufacturers to show that
| this LIQUOR Is made at Chartreuse but
| without using the old Carthusian label
This modification was unsatisfactory to
the monks. and they ask the Supreme
Court to review and reverse the action Of

The case will not be reached for some
time

PARLIAMENT STIRRED up
AROUSED OVER APPROACHING
VISIT OF FORD AND CONDOR.
Violently Denounced by Unionist
Member-John Redmond Protests
Against the Language.

LONDON. November 16-The approach
ing visit to this country of Patrick F: rd.
editor of the Irish World of New ork. and
. Meagher Condor was the occasion of
an extraordinary attack in the house Of
commons this afternoon
James rCaig. unionist member from the
eastern division OF Down. opened the
fight by asking Premier Asquith II he
was aware that Mr.. Ford, who had been
declared by three judges to be a known
advocate of the use of dynamite. and
Mr.. Condor. who had been sentenced to
death for the murder OF an English po-
liceman. intended visiting this country.
Mr.. Craig asked also whether their Ii
censes permitted them to do so, and. if
not. what action the executive proposed
to take.
Earl Winterton. conservative followed
of the -Parnell commission by asking
whether any steps had been taken to
prevent these well known agitators from
coming to this country
Home Secretary Gladstone answered
Earl Winterton in these words: II am not
aware of the intentions of these persons
Neither of them is the holder of a IL
cense"
John Redmond Immediately jumped to
his feet and holly appealed-to the speaker.
oHe OF Inc persons mentioned, ne M
formed the speaker. was an official of the
American government, and 1t was incredi-
BILE that such epithets were permitted to
be applied to a high official who has been
In the service OF the United States for
twenty years.
The Speaker agreed that If the state
ments in question were not true they
ought not to appear.
Mr.. Craig offered to send to Mr.. Red
mond profs of the assertions stated IN
his question.
Mr.. Gladstone. recognizing the INSULT
cheney of his first reply, supplemented II
with the following statement:
Mr. Ford, SO far as / know, has not
been convicted of any criminal offense in
this country. AS regards Mr.. Condor, q
royal pardon, under the great seal, was
given him in 1873"

HAAS WIFE rs SUSPECTED.
She Denies, However, Smuggling
Pistol to Prisoner.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 16.-It is
generally believed here that the derringeI
with which Morris Haas, who shot Fran
els Heney, killed himself in his cell in the
county jail Saturday was passed to him
by his wife when she visited his cell yes
terday afternoon.
Haas was in the care of the police, as
no charge had been made against him in
court. Hence the sheriff's men were not
guarding him.
The police say they searched him care
fully and Detective Burns demopstra tes
that it woyld be impossible to place a
derringer In a shoe and wear the shoe.
Burns talked with Haas before Haas saw
his wife and Burns noticed nothing wrong
with his shoes.
In the morning the sheriff refused to
let Mrs. Haas see her husband, but later
she obtained permission from Chief of
Police Biggy. She was allowed to sit on
a bench in the corridor with Haas. Po-
Hcemen were only a few feet away.
Mrs. Haas was closely questioned by
Burns. but denied that she had given the
pistol to her husband.
Burns sweating of the prisoner Satur-
day was of no effect. Haas repeated his
declaration that no one but himself knew
of the design to shoot Heney.

B0LTING LEAGUES
ASK RECOGNITION

NEW YORK. November 18.-The East
ern League and American Association are
preparing to press their issues to the limit.
1t developed yesterday that President
O'Bren of the association has another
string to his bow, and that he and Patsy
Powers will either force recognition or
precipitate trouble.
The big minors are to apply for repre-
sentation on the national commission
board, the Offices of which have up to
this time been kept to the exclusion of all
but big league moguls. The circumstance
appears to outline the idea that these
minor leagues have abandoned all thought
of abiding by base ball government. That
they will apply for representation on the
national commission strengthens the ru-
NOR that an effort will be made to have q
third major league i'm the Held. 1t lends
great color to the talk ofwar.
No one can know better than either
O'Brien or Powers that the national COM
mission will laugh at such q suggestion.

LIBERALS SWEEP CUBA.
Elect Senators in All Provinces. Ais
President and Vice President.

The Secretary of War has received the
following message from Gov. Magoon
under yesterdays date, regarding the
elections in Cuba:
Liberal presidential electors were elect
ed in each of the six provinces of Cuba
by large majorities, removing all doubt
as to the preference of the Cuban people
Maj Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez. liberal
candidate for president, and Senator AL
fredo Zayas. liberal candidate for vice
president will be elected TO the respective
offices by the electoral college when it as
sembles.
Under the law of Cuba senator's are
elected by senatorial electoral colleges
one such college for each province The
members of the colleges were elected yes
terday, and although the returns are not
completed. the liberal vote on presidential
electors is of such size as TO indicate with
certainty that the liberals have elected
senatorial electors in all provinces.
The new electoral law provides for
proportional representation in the house
of representatives in the Cuban congress
and that body will contain a minority oil

NO ROW WITH JAPAN.
Denial of Rumor of Differences Re-

Statements were issued from the White

yesterday to correct the newspaper re-

is dissatisfied with the Japanese policy
in Manchuria, and intended to force ia
pans hand in the matter.
Following is the statement from the
White House:
THE statement that there has been any
friction between the State Department
and the Japanese government is entirely
erroneous. On the contrary. the reia-
tons between the two governments have
constantly been growing closer and the
understanding better. The statement as
to there being any friction is not merely
unwarranted, but the direct reverse OF the
facts
The State Department made public the
following:
There is no foundation whatever for
the statement that any demand or re-
quest or suggestion in any form has been
made by the State Department to japan

''CHICK" STALLS WIDOW DEAD
FOUND IN DOORWAY UNDER
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
Believed to Have Been Murdered and
Robbed-Police Seek Man Seen
With Victim.

BOSTON. November 16.-The body of a
weli-dressed woman found in doorway
In this city last night was positively iden-
tilted early today as that of Mrs Julia
Harmon Stahl. thirty-two years old. the
widow of Chick Stahl, the Boston
American League base ball player and
captain, who committed suicide at West
Baden, Ind. March %. 1907.
The identification of Mrs. Stahl was
made by her father. MIR. Harmon.
1t is said that when Mrs. Stahl left her
home last evening she wore jewelry VAL
ued at 5000. all of which, with the ex-
ceptfon of a gold-mounted comb and a
wedding ring, was missing from the body
when found
Loss of Jewelry.
In seeking to account for the loss of
Mrs. Stahls jewelry and her presence in
the rather poor neighborshood in which
her body was found. the police sought a
man who was seen to cross Andrews
Square, South Boston, with Mrs. Stahl
just before she entered the hall in which
she died This man is believed to have
helped her into the doorway, but was not
seen to leave the house.
Up to the time that the relatives of Mrs.
Stahl noticed the absence of jewelry early
today the police had believed the case to
be one of heart disease, but with the adj
case appeared to be, one of murder. Marks
were found on the woman's throat but 1t
Is not thought these had to do with her
death.
