STATEN ENT.

Some absurd rumors as to the at
titude OF the democratic candidates
for commissioners on certain matters
that might come before them. have
been injected into this campaign. 1t
has been stated that If elected we
will spend q large sum of money In
altering and adding to the court house.
1t is sufficient answer to this to
say that no considerable sum could
be spent for this purpose without
submitting the question of issuing
bonds to a vote of the people. and
we pledge ourselves to strictly com
ply with the law In this matter and
that no addition to the court

Noted Scotch FInancier Compelled to
Appear at Tariff Hearing and
Testify as to
Rates
Especial to Tho Herald. J

WASHINGTON, Dec, 9.-Andrew
Carnegie was subpoenaed tonight to
appear before the house ways and
means committee to testify in the tariff
revision hearings.
The subpoena was served on Mr.. Car
negie tonight by the house sergeant
alarms.
1t is returnable at date to be fixed
later suitable to the convenience of
Mr.. Carnegie.
Serneo E. Payne, chairman of the
committee, stated that Mr.. Carnegie
might appear before the committee to-
morrow.
Andrew Carnegie recently said he be-
lieved congress should revise the tariff
until it is a tariff not for protection,
but for revenue.
In an article in a current magazine
he declared present duties on all ar
ticles used almost exclusively by the
rich should be maintained or increased; ;
that duties on manufactured articles
should be greatly reduced, and that
duties no longer needed should be
abolished entirely.
Concerning the steel business, in
which he is greatly interested, he says:
1.-THE day has passed when any foreign
country can seriously affect our steel
manufacturers, tariff or no tariff. "

PITTSBURG, Dec 9.-SeVeral men
saying they were representatives of P,
j. Kieran, head of the defunct Fidelity
Funding company of New York and
Chicago We're here today attempting
to compromise with the several Cath
olic societies of this diocese which have
been made defendants in suits to col
lect money growing out of loans placed
through Kieran and the funding COM
pany.
One of the men was clothed in the
garb of a bishop, but it is said he ad-
mitted Bishop Canevin had not recog-
niZed him.
1t is said to be the policy of Bishop
Canevin not to consider compromise
propositions and to insist upon prose-
cutions.
Attorneys for the organizations in
formed their callers that the matter
was now in the hands of the police and
would take its course.
Attorney Charles A. O'Brien, repre-
senting one of the societies, informed
alleged agents of Kieran, who said a
society to care for all claims was be-
ing organized, that no effort to COM
promise would be considered.

PEKING, Dec. 9.-The body of
Kuong Hsu, the late emperor of China,

City, where it has reposed for the last
week, to the Coal Hill mortuary.
1t will there continue to lie in state

The cortege, brilliant, barbaric and
weird in the eyes of western observers,
was led by Prince Chun, the regent
for a short distance from it's starting
place, and as it passed through the
streets of the Imperial City thousands
of mourners knelt in the dust until
the coffin was no longer to be seen.

mer president of the Fidelity Funding

and the trust company is awaiting the
action of the receiver before attempt
ing to recover.

HIDES EVIDENCE
IN His CORK LEG
OFFICERS DISMEMBER MAN TO
GET PAPERS
Solicitor Arrested on Charge Of
Forgery Tries Clever Ruse
to Escape lncriH1-
ination

A. B. Smith, solicitor for a patent
railroad axle, who was arrested on
South Figueroa street yesterday by
Detectives Murray and Mccain on a
warrant from Sheriff McMartin of Ven
tura, where he is wanted for forgeries
aggregating more than $1400, sought to
hide evidence in the hollow of his cork
leg.
Smith was arrested August 16, 1907,
by Detectives Jones and Boyd on a
charge of forgery. He pleaded guilty
in the superior court and was admitted
to probation Some time ago he OBJ
tained permission from the probation
officer to go to Ventura. He returned
to Los Angeles several days ago, and
the police of this city were asked TO
arrest him for forgery.
When taken to the detectives de-
partment yesterday Smith maintained
a stolid silence and would answer the
officers only in monosyllables He was
searched and but little was found in
his pockets. He was supposed to have
in his possession certain forged papers,
and the detectives could not under
stand why they were missing.
Some time ago Smith lost his right
leg, the member being amputated be-
low the knee. 70 remedy the oeIect 1e
he wears an artificial limb. After the
search failed to reveal the documents
one of the detectives tapped the leg.
1t gave forth a hollow sound.
"Unstrap that Leg" he said to Smith.
The latter demurred and protested that
it was not legal for them to dismem-
Der him. They insisted, and when the
artificial member was removed several
notes. said to be forgeries, were found
folded and reposing in the hollow part
of the foot.
Smith was locked up in the city jail,
where he will remain pending the ar
rival of an officer from Ventura.

THE HAGUE, Dec. 9.-The Neither
lands government apparently has not
vet decided upon an exact course of
procedure against Venezuela, but it is
intimated here today that the patrol of
the Venezuelan coast by the three
Dutch warships, which began last
week, may develop into more active
measures in the event of any Venez-
uelan warship attempting to make an
exit from port
Should any of President Castros
ships find themselves ON the high seas
within range of the guns of the Dutch
vessels, there is a strong probability
that they would be seized and taken
into Dutch port. The international
law on this subject is now being care
fully considered by Holland.
