FREE TRADE WANTED
 WITH PHILIPPINES
Secretary of War Wright Appears
 Before the Tariff Committee.

Washington, Nov. 17.-That the opinions that had been expressed by Secretary of War Wright in favor of free trade with the Philippines for tobacco and sugar, are the views of President-elect Taft, was the freely expressed view of those present in the ways and means committee room of the house today at the hearing on the sugar schedule of the tariff.
 Secretary Wright's familiarity with the situation in the American Asiatic possessions leads to the belief that he will disclose some interesting facts when he appears before the commit tee later.
 Edwin F. Atkins of Boston, a large sugar plantation owner in Cuba, told the committee today that the reef procity treaty with Cuba, by which it's products enjoy a 20 per cent diff ferential in sugar duties, expires next month He produced two cablegrams from Cuban sugar and tobacco grow CTS asking the committee to defer action on these articles. Mir. Atkins urged that tariff on sugar be re- duced and that Cuba be given the existing differential on this lower rate.

INQUEST UNDER WAY
 ON THE BODY OF HAAS
The First Thing Is To Find Out How
 He Got the Derringer.

San Francisco, Nov. 17-COroner Lelland began an investigation today into the facts connected with the sui eide of Morris Haas in the county jail on Saturday night The body of Haas was brought into the jury room and laid on a slab.

 Sergeant Burke was closely ques- tioned as to the position of the body when found Some questions asked were objected to by Attorney Webb who represented Chief Biggy. on the ground that the coroner had no right to conduct an examination before an inquest. Several other witnesses were examined in an effort to obtain all possible information incident to the tragedy.

THE FOREIGN POLICIES
Will Henceforth Be Directed
 by the Chancellor--The
 Changed Altitude of the German People Had a Sal utary Effect on His Majesty.

Berlin. Nov. 1S.-Forced by the an gry tide of popular feeling that has swept the empire from end to end, Emperor William yielded to the na- tion today and promised henceforth to conform himself to the constitu- tional methods of conducting the for eign policies of Germany
 An interview between the emperor and the imperial chancellor took place at the new palace in Potsdam this morning, and at its conclusion the emperor made a formal promise to his people that in the future he would not act except through the chancellor and his associate ministers.
 So marked has been the change of the Germans toward their sovereign in the last few days that a crowd of some 15O0 which had gathered at the church this afternoon to attend the funeral of the late General Count Huelin- Haeseler, at which the em- peror and empress were present. greeted their majesties almost in silence.

SUGGESTIONS BY LEADERS
A Bill of Rights Which Shall Take In all Labor Legisla- ton and a Publicity Board to Investigate all Industrial Controversies.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Members of the cabinet and the justices of the su- preme court of the United States sat down tonight with the labor leaders from various sections of the United States at dinner given by President Roosevelt at the White House to a number of personal friends and men closely identified with the movement to better labor conditions in this coun- try. The occasion was one of the most interesting events that has occurred at the White House in months.
 From the supreme court there were Justice Holmes and Justice Moody, both from Massachusetts. The cabinet was represented by Secretary James R. Garfield. of the interior department and Secretary oscar $. Strauss of the department of commerce and labor.
 Subjecting the guests, who were rep resentatives of many leading labor or ganizations of the country to a rapid fire of questions, President Roosevelt endeavored to learn what labor wanted from congress and in what way he could be os assistance to the tOilers of the country. While the president did not commit himself to any of tine prop ositions submitted by the various lab or leaders, it was learned that he

 Justice Moody. Secretary Straus and Secretary Garfield frequently asked questions. The general impression pre- vailed among the labor leaders after the dinner that the presidents message toe congress would show some of the flavor of the conference.
 What seemed most significant of all, both to the president and to other government officials present was the suggestion that congress should pass a bill of rights into which all labor legislation should be incorporated and should create a publicity board whose would be to investigate and make public the details of controversies between capital and labor.
 The plea for bill of rights was made by P. H. Morrisey, grand master of the railway trainmen, while the publicity board s idea was advanced by T. J. Dolan, general secretary and treasurer of the brotherhood of steam shovelers and dredgemen.
 The presidents interest in these two was keenly awakened but as to his attitude upon them he was

The Chicago Murderer Sentenced For
 the Fourth Time to Hang.

Chicago. Nov. 17.-Hirman Billck, convicted of the murder of five mem bers of the Vzral family was sentenced by Judge Barnes today to hang on December 11th. The fight of Billek and his friends for liberty which car ried the case before the United States supreme court attracted wide speard attention.
 Billek was a fortunate teller whose income was derived from the ignorant and superstitious. He used arsenic in causing the death of the Vzrals. oil of whose lives were insured and which money Billek is said to have planned to secure. He was first sentenced to hang in October, 1907, and since that time he has been reprived four times.

ONE BY THE TRIAL JUDGE
A Denial That the Event of Last Friday Has SO Affect ed the Public Mind That the Defendant Cannot Be Fairly Tried.

San Francisco. Nov. 17.-When the trial of Abraham Ruef was called to- day the prosecution filed affidavits from thirty persons including Judge Lawlor. Chief of Police w. J. Biggy. Assistant District Attorney John O'Gara and Under Sheriff P. J. Heggerty in reply to the affidavits made yesterday by Ruef and his coun- sel in support of motion for a change
 of venue to some other town or city in the state. The counter affidavits set forth that no excitement or turbulence prevailed in the city as a result of the shooting of Special Prosecutor J. F. Heney in the open court room last Friday afternoon and they denied that either Ruef or his counsel were threat ened. that their lives were endangered or that conditions existed preventing the defendant having a fair and i'm partial trial.
 A supplementary affidavit by Ruef was filed by his counsel over the strong objections of the prosecution in which were cited some newspaper articles denunciatory of the defendant and his counsel in which it was as- serted that "Ach has clogged the wheels of justice for Ruef with a wag- on load of affidavits" The court over ruled the objections of Hiram John son to the admission of this affidavit.
 Judge Lawlor then granted the de- ~ to the affidavits
 Judge LawlOr mi his affidavit averred that he had seen on indica- tions of excitement and turbulence or threatened violence to the defendant and he denied that orders had been given to keep out other than disor- derly, armed and suspicious charac- ters. from the court room The other were in a similar strain.
 Mir. Ach started to make a motion to strike out certain portions of the filed by the prosecution. when Hiram Johnson interrupted him and asked the court to deny the de- fense the right to make such a mo- ton. Judge Lawlor stopped Ach with the announcement that the motion would not be entertained Ach then asked for time until tomorrow to file a reply affidavit to that made by Rev. Wm. Rader, denying the cor rectness of the remarks attributed to him by the newspapers.
 Johnson arose and said: We beg and implore the court not to grant the request for further time or to per init the defense to file further affi- davits."
 Judge Lawlor made an order per hitting Ruef to visit the office of his attorneys during a recess of the court. Ruef was taken down in a police patrol wagon accompanied by three deputies but without his es- cort of mounted policemen.
