Not Yet Decides.

New York, Jan. f9.-With both COM
plainant and the defendant i'm the main
issue involved still unidentified, Judge
ward, IN the United states circuit
court, today received briefs from the
attorneys who are engaged in pre-
urinary skirmish here over what are
oSlieVed to be criminal proceedings by
the federal government as the result of
recent new spaper statements in connec-
ton with the Panama purchase. The
nSht began in the courts here yester-
DAY, when attorneys for the New
York World asked Judge Ward to
quash subpoenas which had been
served upon two of its employees TO APP
pear before the federal grand jury for
examination. The nature Of the pro-
ceedlngs was not specified, and on this
ground the validity of the subpoenas
was contested. The briefs filed today
followed extended argument before
Judge Ward yesterday. A decision on
the point involved is not expected to
be handed down before tomorrow.
Only Two Examined.
In the meanwhile witnesses who have
not attempted to question the meth
DDS used to secure their pres
ence were present in the fed
eral court today. Only two such wit
nesses were examined yesterday. -Four
others who were present, but did not
testify. were on hand again this morn
ing. They were John e Weir, New
orl newspaper man; a. G. Rousey, a
Boston newspaper san: Harris NJ.
Crist, Washington correspondent of
the Brooklyn Eagle, and e. n. Engel-
man, employed by a news association.
All efforts to ascertain the exact ma
ture of the proceedings in the federal

who or what was back of the proceed
ings.

submitted a report of this TO the Dem

White for nearly three hours. The in

The others who had been subpOenad

RoosEVELT'S LETTER.
President Greatly Concerned Over
Anti-Japanese Measures.

Washington. Jan. 10. - President
Roosevelt's letter to Governor Gillett,
dated Jan. 16. follows:
MY Dear GOVERNOR am greatly
concerned over the anti-Japanese bills
which are apparently going on their
way through the California legislature.
They are in every way most unfortu-
nate At last we have n first-class
working order the arran cement which.
with such difficulty, We succeeded in
getting through two years ago. The
Japanese government is obviously act
ing in good faith. During the six
months ending Oct 81 last. the total
number of japanese who have come to
the mainland OF the United States has
been 2,074, and the total number who
have left has been S.1s1. In other words,
the whole object nominaliy desired by
those who wish to prevent the incoInz
ing OF japanese laboreTs has been
achieved.
More Japs Leaving.
More japanese are leaving the coun-
try than are coming in, and by present
indications in a very few years the
number of japanese here will be no
greater than the number of Americans
in Japan: that is. the movement will be
as normal in one case as in the other.

VOODOO|SM CAUSES
KILLING Of COWS
LEADS TO THE WANTON SLAUGt'
TER OF MANY HEAD OF
FINE CATTLE.
LIBERAL REWARD is OFFERED
Only the Hide and Heart Are Taken
from the Dead Animals, According
to the Old Aztec Practice.

San Antonio, TEXAN outbreak of
voodooism is responsible for the mys-
ferrous killing of many fine cows in
the vicinity Of this city. Many own
ers Of cattle living in the suburbs
have looked in vain for their milk
puryeyOrs in the morning.
The gentle friend of the family was
found to be missing and the instituted
search usually disclosed her body in
the chapparal. G. A. Davis of this
city was one of the first to miss his
valuable Jersey in this manner and
since then others have sustained SINH
lar losses.
The odd feature Of the case was
that nothing but the hide and the
heart of the animal were missing. At
first it was thought that the animals
had been killed for their skins, but a
close watch kept over the dealers in
hides has shown that so far none of
the hides has been disposed of.
Sheriff Lindsey and his deputies
have been working day and night to
get a clew that might lead to a COM
plete solution Of the mystery, but so
far they have not been successful. The
offer of substantial reward has now
been called to their aid.
Though the Mexican population OF
San Antonio is very orderly and
law abiding one as a whole, there is
enough of an Indifferent element
among them that would not be averse
to committing these depredations if
spurred on by what they would con-
slider religious motive. AS is we'll
known, the Indian strain is very
prominent in the lower class Next
cans. AS matter of fact, in a large
percentage of them the Spanish or
other Aryan blood is negligible

Yes, he said l could do that" as.

Let's look over that race he said he

den suggestion of Tony as he produced
paper in which was a list of the en-
tries for the next days races. ooh,
I've got the old badger!" was the sud
uen, gleeful Outburst. HE was right
about there being just two horses in
the race with chance to win. Go on

the track tomorrow. Just put a wise
one In the box to see that no one runs
away with the bank roll, and after that
race we'll have old Camp ready to take
the high dive from the top of the ferry
boat"
What is it you're going to do?" was
the suspicious inquiry of Hopkins.
Never mind what I'm going to do;
the Big Doctor will stand for what |
say, won't you, Doc?"
Yes. l don't know what it IS hit

box as lookout"
When Floyd arrived at the race
track on the day following his talk
with Hopkins and Tony he saw a. new
bookmaker's stand in the line under
the shed of the betting ring. In this
stand was seated Jack Cleland, who
was supposed to be there as an as.

Indian voodooism, as practiced after
the fall OF the Aztec empire, is really
nothing more than a continuation of
the old Aztec religion, the PRINCIPAL
feature OF which was human sacrifice
