INTIMATE POLITICS
RESULTED IN DEATH
Republican Captain Dies as Result OF
Fight After Challenging Vote
of Man He Supposed
Repeater

NEW YORK, No 12.-Interesting
revelations regarding election methods
in this city are promised by the police
as the result of the arrest last night
of Edward Kneagh, who is charged
with having some knowledge of the
manner In which Benjamin Stone, Re-
publican captain of an election district
and watcher at the polls, came to
his death on election day.
Stone had some words with a voter
whom he believed to be attempting to
repeat, but who finally was permitted
to cast his ballot. 1t was alleged that
the voter threatened Stone. Stone left
the polling place. and a little later a
fight broke out in the street in which
Stone received injuries from which he
died.
When Kneagh was arraigned in the
coroner's court testimony was given by
two eyewitnesses.
Gus Strubin asserted that he saw
Kneagh strike Stone. During his tes-
timony Strubin began to weep. and
when asked the cause said he was
nervous about the testifying and that
he would get his"
The other witness, Albert Backer,
also seemed to be reluctant to testify.
which led the assistant district attor-
ney to decide that the witnesses had
been intimidated. Kneagh was held
without bail.

to Ambassador Who viii
Thank Government
rBv Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-In view OF
the action of congress in remitting
about $11,O0O,OOO of the original Chi
nese Boxer indemnity of $24,O00,O0O un-
der the protocol of September 7, 1901,
a new feature of the amortization of
this debt is being worked out at the
state department.
The plan contemplates the maturity
of the bonds issued to satisfy the
American claims as originally pro-
posed in 1940 but the yearly payments
will be reduced.
That China deeply appreciates the
action of the American government Is
evidenced by the fact that she INTENDS
to send to America every year until
the indemnity is paid a number OF
students to be educated.
The governors of Honolulu and Call-
fornia have been requested by the
state department to extend suitable
courtesies to Tang Shao vi, who is
coming from China to thank the Amer
can government. President Roosevelt
was Obliged to decline an invitation to
attend a dinner to be given In San
Francisco on November 20 in honor
of Tang by the Chinese consul at New
York.

III ANN, Westphalia, Germany, Nov.
III 1.-THE greatest mine disaster
in many years in Germany oc-
mine. about three miles from th. place.
There was a heavy explosion at 4
a. m. and almost Immediately the mine
took fire.
OF $50 miners working under ground
at the time, only six escaped without
injury. Thirty-fve men were taken
out badly hurt and thirty-seven were
dead when brought out. The remain
ing 3O2 have been given up for lost.
The explosion was unusually violent,
destroying one of the shafts, which had
to be partly repaired before the rescue
wor- was begun.
In addition, the flames and smoke
proved to be almost insurmountable
obstacles in the early efforts of the
rescuing pGrties.
Firemen Fight Flames
A special corps, composed of the men
who rendered such valuable aid in the
disaster at Courrieres, France, In
March. 1906, arrived upon the scene
shortly before noon, but were unable
await the results Of the firemen to keep
the flames in check.
Meantime heartrending scenes took
place at the mine, when the dead and
injured were brought to the surface,
and there were similar scenes in the
town when the injured were transport
ed through the streets to the hospitals
At l o'clock the fire had made great
headWay and later in the afternoon,
after consultation of the engineers.
1t was decided that any further at
tempts to rescue the entombed men
would be in vain, owing to the inn
possibility of entering the galleries.
AT the same time an order was is
sued to foe the mine.
First reports indicated the accident
was the result of an explosion of coal
dust, but statements of the injured men
renders this improbable, and it is not
clear just what caused it.

WEALTH NOT HAPPINESS,
SAYS MAN WHO KNOWS

BERKELEY, Nov. 12.-"Wealth does
not mean happiness declared Charles
NJ Schwab, former president of the
United States Steel corporatio in
lecture before the students of the Uni
versity of California this afternoon.
During the address he defended the
principles of the trust and said 1t had
come to stay.
I have occupied palatial residences in
New York and Boston, sad Mr.
Schwab, land thought at the time that
I was e.joying myself, but l now know
that only the clang of the steam ham,
mers and the blowing of factory
whistles means real happiness.
II believe in high wages, but de-
mand hard work in return. The United
States Steel corporation always paid its
men high wages. This Is possible only
with a corporation of the form of the
organizations which you call trusts.
The trust has come to stay. 1t means
high wages, economy, lack of waste and
is, hence, industrially solid"

WOULD RESTRAIN
GERMAN EMPEROR
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
IN SESSION
Casa Blanca Affair Reaching Crisis
and Internal Troubles Threaten
If the Kaiser Gets
Too Busy
[Ry Associated Press.1

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE five members
of the foreign affairs committee of the
federal council held a meeting today
and discussed recent events.
The assembling of this committee is
of rare occurrence and much interested
speculation was aroused by the inti-
nation that the meeting was called
with the idea of taking some step to
prevent Emperor William from per-
suing an Independent course in the
foreign affairs of the empire
In we'll informed circles it is as
serted tonight that the committee did
nothing further today than to read GER
tain paper relating to the Casa Blanca
incident They were entertained at
dinner by Chancellor Won Buelow.
Today has been full of rumors and
surprises concerning what attitude En-
peror William would adopt toward
Chancellor Won Buelow. the reichstag
and public sentiment at large. His
majesty spent today hunting and had
breakfast in the forest.
Prince Won Furslenberg, his most in
tinrate friend is with him. The present
is a time when the smallest circum-
stances are studied in order to arrive
at an understanding Of what his
majesty's future course may be, and
there is satisfaction that he is with
the prince, whose influence is regarded
as wise.
The prince is the only man who
seems to speak plainly to the emperor
and his majesty treats him as an
equal.
On Same Level
Their ancestors were counts together
in Swabia eight centuries ago.
The prince is vice president of the
Austrian imperial council and knight
of the Golden Fleece. He is as much
an Austrian subject as a German. AL
though not of aristocratic descent. he
is not a reactionary and is looked upon
as distinctly modern in his political
views. There is still considerable doubt
as to whether or not Prince Won Bue-
low will remain in office and free mem
ton is made of possible successors. The
names of DR.. Theobald Bethmann Holl-
weg minister of the interior. and
Baron Won Rheinbaben. Prusian minis
ter of state. are heard most frequently
in this connection.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says today
that the situation will not be settled
until after the emperor and Prince Won
Buelow have had a personal meeting
and this is. the prevailing view in the
reichstag. There is nothing more to be
done at present. Ine felchStag To-Day
discussed questions of colonial ex-
penditure to empty galleries.
The Lokal Anzeiger says that Chan
cellor Won Buelow intends to proceed
to Donaueschingen where the emperor
is hunting. to make a report of the
reichstag debate on the interpretations.
The paper states the chancellor. how
ever, is waiting to learn whether or
not his speech is satisfactory to his
majesty, intimating that he will re-
main in office if the emperor indorses
his statements in the reichstag.
The Tageblatt believes that Prince
Won Buelow's. resignation is impending
and calls attention to the reports that
the chancellor has received a telegram
from the emperor which has increased
his desire to retire.
