EATS BONE TO PROVE
HIS CASE IN COURT

Newburyport, Mass. Aug. 31.-To prove
to the court that a bone which he was
alleged to have thrown to a dog did not
contain poison, G. w. Speare, of Rowley,
calmly cut off green portions from the
bone and ate them before the court off,
GERS could interfere.
The bone had been exposed to the sun
and files for over a week and was in a
decayed condition. The court, still skep-
teal, ordered ar examination by a chem
list while a recess was taken. The report
sent back was as follows:
1.-THE green matter Is caused by mould
and the white spots were caused by the
application Of arsenic"
Speare ate none but the green portions.
The chemists examination was superb
cial and Mr.. Speare was held in bonds
while an examination is being made by
the state at Boston. His case
will be heard again next Monday with the
chemists full report. He was taken to
Jail i'll the meantime.

CASTRO'S METHODS ARE
COARSE SAY DUTCH
Latest Reply in War Of Diplo-
macy Tells Him Wherein
He Erred.

London. Sept. 1.-The reply OF the
Netherlands government to President
Castro's last note will, it is
understood, be in substance that
the Dutch cruiser Gelderland did
not salute tho Venezuelan flag
upon entering La Guara because under
h International ava practice a war
vessel does not salute a flag in foreign
port if she has entered that port and
saluted within a year. The Gelderland
had one this.
As for alleged insults to the Vene-
zuelan consul at Willemstad, Island
of Curacao, the gentlemen so entitled,
1T is stated. was never accepted by the
Netherlands government as consul,
hence ne could not officially be styled
consul. He vas in Curacao simply as
a citizen of Venezuela.
In conclusion it is said the treatment
of M. De Rus, Dutch minister at Car
acus. who was expelled by President
Castro, was irregular according to in
ternational' etiquette. as Castro, instead
of sending De Rus his passports and
expelling him from the country, should
have informed the Netherlands govern
ment her minister was no longer per-
soma grata and should have requested
his recall. The method Castro pre-
ferred to follow was offensive and in
violation of diplomatic proceedings.

LONGING FOR COLD
AIR, DOG ACTOR DIES

New York. Sept. Eastern civiliza-
ton, with rush and hustle and brick
walls that shut out the sunlight, has
caused the death of Mush, the dog
brought from Alaska by Robert Edeson
to play a role in The Call of the
North" For three weeks the animal
tried his best TO accustom himself to
new surroundings, but he couldn't do
it, and yesterday his body was taken
away tc be given decent burial.
Mush was a "huskie"-a cross be-
tween an Esquimau and a collie-and
in far away Valdez, where he was BORN
and raised, he had woods to roam in
and colo air to breathe. Conditions
We're different here. and it was not
nan days before Mr.. Edeson saw that
his charge was not eating enough to
keep a mouse alive.
Then Mush stopped eating altogether.
A dog doctor said Mush had an ailment
medicines would not cure. Homesick-
ness had affected him. 1t was impos-
sible to ship the dog back 70 Alaska,
and So. little by little, he wasted away
and finally answered the call Of the
North"

TWO-CENT FARE LAW
CUTS RAILROADS PROFITS

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The 2-cent a mile
law in Illinois worked out badly for at
least n railroad, though it stimulated
travel enormously, the Increase shown
by the Chicago & Alton for 1907 being
IL per cent, 1856, 766 more passengers car
ried.
The railroads. of course, opposed the
law vigorously, but vainly, declaring it
would prove a hardship to them, but
the answer generally was: Your traffic
viii increase so much that you viii
make money by the reduction
The story is disproved by fact, IL
seems. The figures compiled by the
Alton in getting at the result of the
"2-cent law are interesting. The av-
erage passenger rate per mile for local
and through business was reduced from
$.0206 to $.01&5. which explained a re-
duction of sos. 1873 in the net earnings.

OF appeals. which reversed the decision OF

company $29. 10000, replied today to the

We all like to see somebody else rap

The papers have not given q true re-
port Of the Standard OIL case. They have,
perhaps. made no entirely false state
ments. but the versions as presented by
the newspaper writer's nave conveyed an
erroneous impression to the public.
Only Offspring on Trial.

that was on trial. but the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, 81 offspring, UNI
doubleday. but a much smaller and weaker
organization.
But when it came to passing Judgment
1t was on the offenses OF the parent com
pany that the Hoosier offspring was found
guilty, and 1t was In accordance with the
property and revenue OF the parent COM
pany that the fine OF the offspring was
gagged. If it was the desire and purpose
of the court to punish the Standard OIL
Company of New Jersey, that concern
should have been indicted either Jointly
or separately and have been brought into
court
No Matter What r. r. Says.
Every corporation has exactly the
same rights as an individual. no more, no
less. The parent ompan is, OF course,
more or less responsible for the acts OF
the Indiana company. The people will
sooner or later realize that the courts are
not swayed by any other influence than
law and precedent. What any one man
may say in regard to the decision of a
court, be 1t President Roosevelt or any
bum in the gutter, counts for no more
than his opinion. All / know in reality
about the case is hat a common thing has
occurred-a motion for a rehearing has
been filed"

time he heard from her. He said
that he saw Mr.. Roberts last Tuesday
night for the first time since he re.
turned home and told him how glad
he was to see him. Mr.. Roberts did
rot go to Atlantic City until the
next afternoon.
Mr.. Williams came to the city dur
ing the forenoon from his country
place at Long Green valley. He talked
over the phone with his wife at At

fusal to discuss the shooting affair,
but HI. Cavendish Darrell, who Is as

Mr.. Williams has been very much

turned from Europe on the Kron
