oDELL's TRIP TO EUROPE
Suspicion That He Has Been Sum-
moned by Hartman

Newburg, July 28.-The secrecy sur
rounding the departure OF ex-Goy. b
b. Odell Jr., on Saturday for Europe
on the Vaderland of the Red Star line
is the subject of much comment in
political circles of the state in view
OF developments here.
Few persons knew of Mr.. Odell's in
tention to go abroad. Several OF
them expected to meet him at the
Palatine hotel in this city Saturday
night but were greatly surprised when
informed that he had sailed.
Mr.. Odelrs father, eX-Mayor b. b,
Odell said that there was absolutely
no political significance to be attach.
ed to his sons departure but that it
was merely a pleasure trip. A per
sonal political lieutenant OF the COVER
nor's said last night, however, that he
heard the governor had received a
message late on Friday night from f.
H. Hartman who is now in Austria
taking the baths, which urged Mr..
Odell to hasten to Vienna. IL is
known that Mr. Odell received a cable
gram from Mr.. Hartman on Thursday
and which referred TO the political sit
uation in New YORK.
1t is declared here that Mr.. Odell
is slated to handle the Mayoralty con-
test in New York this fall and that
Mr.. Hartman is to finance it. The
ex-governor has been in very close
touch with Mr.. Hartman for the last
two weeks and Is known to have re-
ceiyed as many as half dozen cable
grams i'm a single day
Mr.. Odell has informed his close
political friends that he will take a
hand In the New York city election
this fall and that ne was induced by
Mr.. Hartman to go back into state
politics again
The Vaderland will land Mr.. Odell
at Antwerp and it is not a long trip
from there to Vienna. The political
gossips mere have ii that Mr.. Harri-
man and Mr.. Odell have already decid-
ed on the candidate they would like
to name as suitable to defeat the Tam
many nominee. The name is kept in
the background but Mr.. Odell's
friends say that there is no talk of
running Mr.. Roosevelt for mayor
Mr. Hartman and Mr. Odell have
managed Orange County politics for
several years and a little mix-up that
at present exists in Republican cir
Giles in this county, caused by Senator
John Rose taking the stand against
the Odell-Harriman machine, may be
a side issue to be discussed by Mr.
Hartman and Mr.. Odell.

CHINA LOAN IN DANGER
Foreign Bankers May Block Uncle
Sam in Deal

PekfRg. July 27.-Thougn Prince
Regent Chun has placed most ser
ious Interpretation on President Taft s
telegram sent about a week ago and
has instructed the Chinese Foreign
Board to use every means in its pow
ier TO arrange the Hankow Sze-chuen
loan of 27,500000 in accordance with
Mr. Tafts wishes the success of the
message appears doubtful IL was
sent, it is understood here, with the
purpose of tying the hands of Grand
Councillor Chang-Chi-Tung in the mat
ter of Americas claim for equal par
ticipation.
The Chinese Foreign Board is UNI
able to vouch for Chang Chi-Tung's
actions and fears that he will memor-
lalze the throne in favor of the orig
nal loan agreement, thereby forcing
the Prince Regent to decide between
himself and the risk of losing Amer
lean friendship.
Following their unacceptable offer
to America during the meetings OF the
international bankers in London when
the European bankers offered to the
American representatives a quarter of
the Hupeh section of the loan, the
British, German and French bankers
here have been using the American
refusal for the purpose of putting the
responsibility for the failure of four
sided agreement on America and with
this object in view are adroitlv press
ing China through the German banks.
The triparite banks are taking full
benefit of the influence which the
Germans acquired over Chang. Chi
Tung by undermining the British and
French bankers last March, when
China accepted a German loan of $751;
100000 for the Yangtse section of the
Canton-Hankow railway, and are u.s.
ing it for the purpose of applying
pressure to China's structural weak
ness, namely her central unco-ordina
ted bureaus. In view of this the re-
suit will be either the rejection of
Americas claim or the dismissal of
Chang Chi-Tung.

pressure on Chang-Chi-Tung to mean
that it is sanctioned by Great Britain.
1t is learned that on July after the
failure of the conference in London
with the American representatives,
the British. French and German bank
ers signed an agreement embracing
an equality alliance" with reference
to Chinese loans. The foreign bank
ers here are eagerly awaiting details
of this agreement, disclosure of which
followed threatening British criticism
here relative to the political weakness
of the British alliance with German
banks and is believed to have been
partly inspired by British apprehen-
sion at being involved in the threaten
ing scandals over the construction of
the German section of the Tientsin-
Pukow railway which the Germans
and British are building.

HOUSE WINS FREE HIDES
But Has to Come to Senate Terms or
other Articles

Washington, July 2S.-From the
best information obtainable it APP
pears that the House has won its bat
tie for free hides and oil and increas.
ed rates on gloves and hosiery in re-
turn for a surrender to the Senate on
lumber, coal, iron ore and print paper
For nearly week the question of
putting hides on the free list or i'm.
posing nominal duty upon them has
been before the conference committee.
Not even n nominal duty proved ac-
ceptable to Representative Payne,
whose position was strengthened by
the support of President Taft and the
Senate was compelled to yield in spite
of the fact that free hides threatened
to provoke an insurrection among
"standpat" senators from cattle-rais-
ing states. 1t appears, however that
Mr.. Payne's victory was costly one
inasmuch as the House conferees
were defeated on coal, print paper,
iron ore and lumber.
The chief victory won by the Sen
ate was the retention of its duties on
lumber. These represent reductions
from Dingley rates but are not nearly
as low as the House rates, which be-
gan with 81 on rough lumber. Like
wise a victory was won by the Senate
through the acceptance by the confer
ence committee of a rate of $3.50 a
ton on print paper instead of the 81
rate fixed by the House.
The conference report will be ready
for presentation to the House as soon
nc tha rulp in regard IL Nha leather
schedule is adopted by that body.

troops of the 10tn cavalry arriving by
special trains at about midnight and
lat once taking up their quarters in
the barracks vacated by the regiment
of the 18th cavalry.
The detrainment was accomplished
with order and celebrity aud before
the early peep OF dawn the tired ne
groes were for the most part fast
asleep in the hunks.
The regiment is in command of
Lieut.. Col Grierson, who viii be post
commander. The negro troopers will
be busily occupied for the next two
or three days In establishing them
selves in the place that is to be their
homo for an indefinite period. Then
will follow a critical time for both
the negroes and the white people
hereabouts. The first pay day will
cast the die If 1t passes witnout disor-
der and riot, the pressure will be re-
lieyed and the chances are that the
tendency of Fort Ethan Allen by the
men of the 10th will be peaceful one.
If the day brings an unreasonable de-
gree of disorder then Jim crow ears

KILLED DEER UNLAWFULLY
Putney Man Thought Legislative Acts
Empowered Him to Do So

Brattleboro, July ga peculiar
case came to light yesterday at Put
ney, when William Sykes of that town
formerly of West Springfield, Mass,
came before Judge E. w. Gibson of
the Prattleboro municipal court char
ged with unsawfully killing a deer.
Monday afternoon Sykes wi1o does an
extensive market gardening business
saw large deer calmly eating up the
truck in one of his gardens. He shot
and killed the animal believing that
he was acting within the law
BY the statutes of Massachusetts, a
farmer is allowed to kill any deer
found destroying his crops, report the
matter at once to the game warden
and then turn the carcass over to the
state. A bill to tnis effect was intro
duced in the last session of the Yer
mont legislature by Judge Gibson who
represented Brattleboro in the state
Senate. 1t failed of passage but
Sykes was unaware of that fact and
acted in the belief that the bill had
become law.
Sykes pleaded guilty to the charge
of unlawfully killing a deer and a fine
of 500 and costs was imposed by
Judge Gibson. In view of the extern
uating circumstances the fine was
suspended upon the payment OF costs
amounting to 1904. The carcass of
the deer was sold to C. P. Snumway
proprietor of the Kendrick house In
Putney and the money returned to the
state.
