EXPLAINED BY BONAPARTE
Proposed Suit Against Merger of Pa
cific Roads.

Washington, Jan. 23.--With refer
ence to the contemplated suit against
r. III. Hartman by the government
questioning the legality under the
antitrust act of the purchase by the
Union Pacific of the controlling inter-
est in the Southern Pacific and other
railroad lines alleged to be in COM
petition with the Union Pacific Attor-
ney General Bonaparte said that when
brought the suit would be based upon
the report of the interstate commerce
commission of last July In which the
details of the alleged merger were
given. He said that after the report
had been made the subject of it had
been discussed at a conference held
at the White House, when the entire
matter was referred to the depart
ment of justice for consideration and
investigation and that early in last
December action was determined
upon, but was delayed by reason of
the unexpected absence in Europe OF
G. A. Severance, one of the special
counsel for the government. He add
ed that Mr.. Severance has now re-
turned to the United States and will
be in Washington within few days,
as also will be Frank B. kellogg, the
other special counsel. When they ar.
rive the attorney general will have
consultation with them, after which
an authorized statement will be made
to the public.

ADMITS MANY MURDERS.
Confession Alleged to Have Been Sc
cured From Colorado Italian.

Denver, Jan. 23.-The Republican
prints an alleged confession secured
by an Italian detective from Antoine
Neroni, alias Bavori. charged with the
murder of four Italians, three men and
one woman, at Florence, Colo. The
detective Is Frank Sandesko of Pu-
eblo, who, according to the story,
gained the confidence of Neroni, who
is now confined in the county Jail at
Canon City by pretending to be a
member of the Black Hand society
from Pittsburg. Sandesko states that
Neroni related to him a series of
murders he had committed, beginning
with the killing of a neighbor who
had abused him in Italy when he was
but twelve years old. The narrative
gradually brought him to a recital of
details connected with the disappear
ance Of the four Italians at Florence.
Sandesko says that Neroni confessed
that he killed the woman because she
would not marry him and disposed of
the three men In most brutal fashion
because he believed they suspected
him of numbering the woman. 1t was
his intention, Sandesko says, to kill
the wife and two children of one of
his victims also, but the opportunity
did not afford itself before he was
arrested.

SAFETY OF PANAMA CANAL
Little Possibility of Foreign Military
Invasion.

INVASION
Washington, Jan. 23.-At the hear
ing of the senate committee on inter
oceanic canals Colonel Goethals gave
assurance that the Panama canal when
from military invasion and said that
the chances of the crippling of the
canal by spies armed with dynamite
will be very small providing armed
guards are maintained at the Mira.
flores and Gatun locks. The locks
themselves, Colonel Goethals ex-
planned, are located sufficiently far
from naval attacks. The Gatun lock
is located several miles from the At
lantic and the Miraflores lock eight
miles from the Pacific. Shells fired
blindly over this distance, in the opin-
ion of the commissions chairman,
would do very little harm. He also re-
marked that ships do not waste am
munition when far from their base of
supplies. In discussing the possible
injury of the locks by spies Colonel
Goethals said it was not possible for
one or two men to carry sufficient
dynamite to do much harm.
In response to questions Colonel
Goethals said that very large ships
would probably be able to pass
through the canal in less than eight
hours. He said there would be plenty
of room for ships to pass, except pos
sibly in Culebra cut and also that
more than one vessel could occupy a
lock at the same time

yHARGES BY HANSBR0UGH
Says Harvester Trust Is Active in
North Dakota Politics.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Hans
brough of North Dakota endeavored to
have nullified the effect of resolu-
tion offered by him and adopted by
the senate on Dec. II, 1906, directing
the department of commerce and la
Dor to investigate the affairs of the
International Harvester company in
order, he stated, that the department
of justice might proceed to prosecute
the company. He explained that there
exists between the several depart
ments a certain courtesy or comfy
which makes them desire to act in
harmony and for that reason the de-
partment of justice is holding back
its proceedings while another depart
ment is, under direction of the SEN
ate, to make an investigation of the
"trust" which it contemplates to
prosecute.
The resolution called forth a storm
of protests, during which Mr.. Hans
brough declared that the international
Harvester company is taking hand
in politics in North Dakota and is try.
ing to capture delegates who are tC
represent that state in the Republican
national convention. mot alone that,
said Mr. lIansbrough, 'the edict has
gone forth from this monopoly that
am to be defeated for the senate OF
the United States because | had the
temerity to offer a resolution to in
vestigate it.
"The political fortune of man is
q grain of sand compared with the
injustice that may be wrought by al
institution of this kind. / accept this
challenge and am ready to meet it
If the people of my state desire tc
have this monopoly control their state
they do not want me as their repre-
sentative"
The resolution was referred to the
agricultural committee.

TWO NEGROES SLAIN
Attempt to Destroy Tobacco Fac
tory at ClarkSville, Tenn.
OIL AND DYNAMITE ARE USED
Watchman Appears on Scene Before
Match Is Applied and Kills Two of
u Men and Wounds Third While
Enleavoring to Escape.

Clarksville, Tenn, Jan. 23.-An at
tempt was made to set fire and dyna-
mite the loose tobacco factory of the
Hayes-Sory Tobacco company and two
negroes, Tony Allen and Walter Wat
kins, alias Frog Eye" were killed
while trying to escape by one of the
night watchmen. One other negro
escaped, but is thought to have been
wounded
The factory, since the recent trou-
BILE in the dark tobacco district, has
been closely guarded. The guards
usually take lunch at II o'clock and
shortly after this hour, when Guard
Shanklin was making his rounds, he
noticed three men standing in front of
door of the factory on the west
side The men were bold in their &C.
tions and Shanklin at first thought
they were guards. One of them struck
a match, however, and when he did
Shanklin asked who it was. Shanklin
was short distance away and in.
stead of replying to his question the
negroes broke and ran. Shanklin fol
lowed and at distance of sixty yards
away fired. three times at the fleeing
men. One of the negroes dropped
dead in his tracks and the second ran
about seventy yards to colored tene
ment house, whore he died. The third
negro is thought to have been wound
ed, as Shanklin heard him YELL
An investigation showed that the
door of the factory had been saturated
with coal oil and four sticks of dyna
mite placed against 1t.
When the bodies of the two negroes
were searched sticks of dynamite were
found on their persons In suff1cien1
quantities to wreck the building.

RE|CHSTAG IN NTUMULT
TauntS Of Socialist Members An.
ger Chancellor Won BueIow.
REFUSES TO ANSWER QUERY
Indignantly Refers to Terrorism Pre-
vaiIing in Berlin and Announces
That Organizers of the Demonstrs.
tions Will Be Held Responsible.


Berlin, Jan 23-Chancellor Won
Buelow refused categorically in the
reichstag to reply to Socialist inter
pellation on the subject of the Prus-
sian suffrage. This precipitated a
deafening uproar from the members,
during which all the ministers left
the house. The debate was then con-
tinued before the half empty benches.
Trouble with the people had been
expected and in order to be prepared
for a recurrence of violent encounters
between the police and the people the
buildings of parliament were sur
rounded from early morning with a
strong force OF police armed with pis-
tolls and sabers. Furthermore, the
principal thoroughfares of Berlin are
being patrolled constantly by police,
both mounted and ON foot.
The Interpolation was very skill.
fully worded in order to bring 1t
within the official authority of the
reichstag. The question was framed
as follows:
''On what ground does the chancel.
lor consider manhood suffrage, as al
ready granted for the elections to the
imperial parliament, to be harmful to
states?"
Prince Won Buelow opened the
reichstag proceedings by a warning
against further manifestations, which,
he declared, did not affect the govern.
ment in the slightest degree. He
threatened, amid ironical cheering
from the Socialists, that the leaders
and organizers of all demonstrations
would be dealt with severely.
Won BueIow Very indignant.
The chancellor trembled with indig
ism, which, he declared, had been in
troduced into the capital. He stigma
rized the street demonstrations as dan
gerous to the country and he looked
directly at the Socialist members
when he announced that the organ
izers would be held responsible. He
was compelled to pause for severa
minutes because of derisive laughter
from the Socialist benches.
Herr Fischer, Socialist. in tht
course of speech accused the police
of infamously utilizir.s the services o.
detectives, who mixed with the dem
onstrators and led in the cries anc
singing, thus creating cause for the
Intervention of their uniformed com
rades. Herr Fischer demanded the
same rights for public manifestations
as existed In other European countries
and said that the Socialists were pre-
pared to accept responsibility for the
street demonstrations.
Herr Kreth, Conservative, aroused
an uproarious tumult among the So
cialists when he asserted that the
leaders of that party were most prom
inent by their absence from the
streets during the demonstrations
which they had misled others into un
dertaking, even advising the partici
pants to take their wives and children
with them as protection against thu
police. When Herr Kreth finished this
statement loud cries were heard
Of .vagabond," "slanderer," "liar,
"scoundrel" and "hypocrite."

Butte, Mont, Jan. 23.-That the
