LONDON. Nov. 1.-THE committee on
privileges of the House of Lords today
declared the right of Albert Kirby Fair

had been described as the only American
bearing an English title, to the rank and
title of Lord Fairfax of Cameron in the
Scottish peerage. The committee heard
evidence on this matter for two hours.
]. A. Barrett, Lord Fairfax's attorney,
presented the Fairfax family Bible and
much documentary evidence to prove his
clients descent. The attorney general
for the government and the lord advocate
of Scotland declared themselves as salts,
fed regarding the Validity of the claim,
and Lord Alverstone, lord chief Justice.

tee. This decision does not give Lord

CAN MAKE MINES SAFE.
Experiments in France Show That
safety Explosives" Do Not Set
Coal Dust on Fire

PARIS, Nov. 17.-Minister of Public
Works Barthou today witnessed a series
of successful experiments to prevent ex-
plosions in mines. The tests were held
at a station established shortly after the
fatal Courrieres disaster by the colliery
owners of LEVIN. At their conclusion.
M. Barthou expressed the belief that the
danger from coal dust contia grations in
mines following explosions of fire damp
could henceforth be prevented.
The experiments demonstrated that
certain ''low temperature of safety ex-
plosives" when substituted for dynamite
or other high tension explosives do not
set coal dust on fire, and furthermore
that 40 per cent. of schist dust mixed
with coal Outs, renders the latter free
from the danger of explosion. Conse,
quently deposits of schist dust, at inter.
walls in mine will make it possible to
restrict fires to limited section of a
shaft or gallery.
Experiments were conducted also in
chambers filled with sulphuric acid with
a new respiratory apparatus, and the
ability of life savers equipped Herewith
to work for three hours in the most
noxious vaDors was demonstrated.

TAFT GIVEN OVATION
AFTER HEARING OPERA.
Entire Audience in Cincinnati Theater

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 17.-Pres-
dent-elect Taft was given cordial re-
ception at the Grand Opera house last

ALL QUIET IN PEKIN
REPORTS THAT RULERS WERE MUIR
DERED NOT SUBSTANTIATED.
Regency Is Received with Tranquility
and Government Is in Com
plete Control.

PEKIN, Nov. 17.-Nothing has devel-
oped in Pekin today to substantiate the
reports that the Emperor of China or the
DOwager Empress were poisoned or 9TH
erwise were the victims of foul play.
All the foreign legations here agree that
the Emperor had a natural death. Opin-
ion varies, however, regarding the end OF
the Dowager Empress, but all the de-
auctions in her case are negligible and
in no sense related to the source whence
have come the circumstantial details of
the passing away of their majesties.
Disquieting rumors are still current to-
day regarding the future relations be-
tween Prince Chun, the regent of the
empire, and Prince Ching, president OF
the board of foreign affairs, and Yuan
Shi Kai, a member of the grand council,
who as head of the reformers enjoys the
passive support of the United States,
Great Britain and other powers that
command respect at court.
Dispatches received here by the gov
eminent from the provinces set forth
that the regency has everywhere been
received with tranquility. The govern
ment is in complete control. 1t is be-
lieved that Pekin will remain quiet and
that no opportunity for disorder will
be permitted.
An edict issued today instructs Prince
Pu Lun and Chen Pi to proceed to the
western tOmbs and select a site for the
grave of Kuang Hsu. There will be con-
tinuous obsequies at the palace for Pc
Rod of tWenty-seven days. These Cd
seryances began yesterday.

ATTACK SUGAR TRUST,
Wright and Taft Both in Favor of Free
Trade with Philippines Tor To-
bacco and Cane.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IT,
That the opinions expressed by Secre
tary of War Wright yesterday in favor
of free trade with the Philippines for TO-
bacco and sugar are the views of PreSi
dent-elect Taft was the freely expressed
belief in the ways and means committee
room of the House when the hearing on
the sugar schedule of the tariff was re-
sumed today. Secretary Wright's famil
iarity with the industrial situation in the
American Asiatic insular possessions
leads to the belief that he will disclose
some interesting facts when he appears
before the committee later.
The secretary of war took occasion yes
terday to attack the so-called sugar
trust" and there is much speculation
among those who follow closely the tariff
hearings as to what effect the remarks
of the secretary of war will have in re
gard to the REIMBURSEMENT of the sugar
schedule in the tariff bill which is to be
presented to the special session of Con
gress in March.
Chairman Payne of the committee IN
timated yesterday that the philippine
tariff question might be taken up apart
from the present hearings on the pro-
posed revision Of the tariff.

DOGS BEAT RACE HORSE.
Course IN Race Is Over Ten-Mile Trail,
but Mare Slips While Climb
ing Hill

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 16.-A dis
patch from Nome says: One of the most
interesting races ever witnessed on
Seward peninsula was a race between
a race horse and dog team here Satur-
day, the dog team winning by fifty sec
onds in a ten mile course. Ben Freimer
on Jake Berger's mare Dolly, noted in
Alaska for her speed, raced with Coke
Hills dog team from this city to the
mouth of Dexter creek and return, a
distance Of ten miles. The trail was N
good shape and time was made by both
horse and dogs. The mare slipped while
running on little hillside and lost some
ground.

SAN FRANCISCO GRAFT PROSECU-
TOR. SHOT DOWN IN COURT
ROOM, RECOVERING.
VOICE WILL BE UNIMPAlRED.
Mystery in Manner in Which Would-Be
Assassin Obtained Gun to
Commit Suicide.
HAAS LONG PLANNED SHOOTING.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Al-
though nearly three days have elapsed
since Francis ]. Heney was shot down
in the courtroom by Morris Haas, who
committed suicide in his cell at the coun-
t. Jail Saturday night, the seven ply
SIcians in attendance upon the prosecutor
for the bribery cases agreed today that
the long and anxious interval has de-
veloped not q single unfavorable symp-
tom resultant from the bullet wound in
his head.
There is neither fever or indication of
dread blood poisoning; the patient has
shown no unexpected loss Of strength
and between periods of long and refresh
ing sleep last night, he asked for and
was given a small portion of liquid nour-
ishment. It is even said that Mr.. Hen
ey's vocal powers will be unimpaired by
the course of the bullet now lodged IN
the muscles of his throat and this, in
view of the demands upon his voice by
the prosecution in which he is engaged,
will be welcome news to the assistant
district attorney when it has been more
definitely aScertained.
To Rush Ruef Trial.
When Abraham Ruef is brought from
the county Jail to the courtroom where
Heney was shot last Friday, three we'll
known attorneys in San Francisco will
answer ready" on behalf of the prose
cution in the trial of the former politi-
cal boss on a charge of bribing a super
visor in the award of the United Rail
roads overhead trolley franchise.
There has been no satisfactory eXpla-
nation of the manner in which Morris
Haas procured possession of the der
ringer with which he shot himself in the
county Jail. Chief of Police Buggy and
of hic iD1n1o6iato SI1hordin a rp
content with the declaration that the
prisoner carried the weapon into his cell
concealed in his shoe. Other members of
the department and w. J. Burns, a spe-
cial agent of the district attorneys office,
insists that this was impossible and that
the pistol was handed him, either by his
wife upon the occasion of her visit. or by
some other person.
Planned Crime Long Ago.
Mrs. NJ Kohn. who had known Haas
intimately for twenty-five years, has in.
formed the police that Haas acquainted
her with his determination to shoot He
ney some time ago, and that when he
reiterated his intention a few days ago,
she threatened to have him arrested. She
identified the derringer as one OF three
pistols she had known Haas to possess.
Mrs. Haas, when she visited the county
jail, was accompanied by Mrs. kohn,
who, however, was not permitted to APP
proach the prisoner closely. She stated
that she did not inform any one of Haas
threat because she feared the anger of
her husband.
Bullet Is Removed.
The bullet fired by Morris Haas at Mr..
Heney was removed today from the
muscles of the lower left maxillary,
where it was located by means of the
X-ray. Mr.. Heney bore the operation
we'll and is reported to be resting quiet
~ and showing no i'll effects.

ROBBERS GET $4,000.
Drill Vault in South Bend Und.) Post
office When Clerks Are Work
ing Near.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 16.-The
biggest robbery in the history of South
Bend was pulled off Saturday night by
safeblowers, who plundered the South
Bend postofiice of $1S,653 and made
such a successful getaway that postoffice
inspectors and police are without a clue
on which to conduct their investigation.
The plumber was all stamps.
The robbery was discovered at $50
o'clock Sunday morning by a clerk in
the employ of the Household Quitting
company, one door north of the room
temporarily occupied for postoftice pur-
poses during the erection of the new
100000 building.
A hole 14x14 inches had been cleo
trically drilled through the 14-inch fire.
proof wall, forming one side of the post
office vault, through which one of the
robbers had entered the vault and passed
the plumber to his confederates. That
the robbery was committed by experts
is shown by precautions used to pre-
vent discovery and that the men worked
so skillfully that the night force of mail
ing clerks within 100 feet of the vault
had no knowledge of what was taking
place.
The electric drill used by the robbers
was worked by power taken from light
wall, the wires being detached from a
desk lamp in the Office of the Household
company The drills, picks and other
tools, all new, and a bottle of nitro
glycerine, which was probably to be
used in case steel lining to the vault
was found. were all left behind and are
now in the hands of the police. Inspec-
tor A. B. Holmes at Cincinnati was mott
fed. and he ordered Inspector A. B.
Burr of Fort Wayne to South Bend,
the latter arriving here last night.

ARGUMENTS IN FAMOUS CONTEMPT
TRIAL CONCLUDED BY
ATTORNEYS.
ROOSEVELT'S NAME DRAWN IN.
Justice Wright Overrules Objection OF
Defense to Use of Presidents State
ment on Boycotting.
NO DECISION FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IL
Arguments in the contempt case of the
Bucks Stove and Range company against
Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and
John Mitchell, of the American Fed era
ton of Labor were concluded today
James NJ. Beck of counsel for the stove
company, made strong plea for his
clients, in which he closely dissected the
junction of the court against the defend
ants and sought to show that they had
put themselves in contempt by othclaliy
publishing the company in the we
Don't PatroniZe List.
President Is Mentioned.
The name of President Roosevelt and
his opinion of the boycott was injected
into the argument of Mr.. Beck. Counsel
for the defendants objected, intimatlng
but not charging that it was an attempt
to improperly influence the court. Mr.
Beck had referred to the cruelty and IN
feasibility of the boycott and said:
Il have very high authority for say
ing that in very recent public state
ment the President of the United States
said that of all forms of oppression
which man had yet devised the most
cruel is the boycott.
Attorney Ralston, for the defendants,
objected, saying: Il certainly object 10
tue 1IeSlueuL Oh the Uulleu OldteS pc
ing brought into this discussion. We all
have the highest possible respect for
him, but he cannot be quoted as an au-
thority on matters of this kind"
Objection Is Overruled.
Justice Wright overruled the objection,
saying:
Il suppose counsel in argument has
the right to adopt the words of another
person to convey an idea if they see
fit to do So"
Mr.. Beck thereupon proceeded with
his argument and at it's close Justice
Wright took the case under advisement
Counsel were allowed the privilege of
filing briefs on certain matters, which
arose during the progress of the hearing
1t is not expected that the court will
announce its decision for several days.
