fBy Associated Press

DENVER, March 3O.-The jury in
the = of John Cradlebnugh of Wal
lace, Idaho, on trial for the murder of
Frederick w. Walton, this morning re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.
The verdict was reached shortly af-
ter midnight last night after two or
three Jurors had stood out for some
time in favor of conviction.
Cradebaugh, who is prominent
Odd Fellow of Idaho, shot and killed
Walton a few weeks ago at the cor
ner of Sixteenth and Champa streets,
after Walton had refused to tell MIN
where Cradlebaugh's wife and boy,
with whom Walton had come to Den
yer, were livinE.
Both the "unwritten law and self
defense were urged in Cradlebaugh
defense and Mrs. Cradlebaugh herself
went on the stand and told of her re-
lations with Walton in an effort to
save her husband from the gallows.
Cradlebaugh, who has been confident
of acuuittal from the first, took the
verdict coolly. Walton also was an
Odd Fellow.
The verdict was received with ap-
plause by the crowd which packed the
court room to suffocation. Cradle
baugh, ashy white, walked about the
court room for moment or two after
the verdict hal been read, his son
clasped in his arms; and then, return
in ?. shook t. hand of each juror and
thanked him.
The Jury deliberat about five
hours. the first ballot standing to

verdict was unanimous.

WANTS FILIPINOS TO HAVE
COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE
CONGRESSMAN Endeavors to Make Ter
ritory Neutral in Time
of War

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Repre-
sentative Mccall of Massachusetts, says
the Philippine islands should have their
independence. and that If they were
independent they should be neutral
territory, so as not to become the the
alter of war among foreign powers.
Accordingly he has introduced res
olution requesting the president to
open negotiations with the various ma
lions of the globe looking to an agree
ment for the naturalization of these
islands, and for the recognition of their
independence whenever 1t is granted by
the United States
The preamble of the resolution sets
forth that the argument for not giving
the islands their independence had been
that if the United States abandoned
them some other nation would take
them.
This danger, IL is set forth, can be
removed by an agreement with the ma
lions of Europe and Asia whereby the
independence of the Philippines would
be declared and they would become
neutral territory.

SAYS RUSSIAN PRINCESS
is VICTIM OF AN ENEMY
Letter from Nice Declaring She VIII
Be Divorced 10 Declared
False

CHICAGO, March 3O-A local daily
newspaper today prints the following
news article:
us Princess Engalttcheff, who is on
a steamer bound for America, the vic
tim of an anonymous letter writer?
1--WE yesterday received the following
letter mailed from Nice: Hotel de
France, Nice: The Princess Engalitcheff
has instituted proceedings for divorce
from her husband, Prince Engalitchen.
so. w. Partridge, brother of the
princess, when shown the letter, de-
clared:
"It is the work of some malicious
person. My sister never dreamed of
getting divorce She and the prince
are the happiest of couples
"Then in a burst of illumination he
said: my sister, Mrs. Sergeant, got
cablegram from her just few days ago
home together and would be in New
York on Wednesday,
''Mr Partridge did not know the boat
on which the princess is a passenger
and long distance telephone calls to
Mrs. Sargent were fruitless.
Putting two and two together, 1t Is
apparent that the letter was mailed two
DAYS before the steamer sailed, and if
it was written and forwarded by some
malicious female she evidently timed
her efforts to make all the trouble pos
sible.
ut is a certainty that the statement
that the princess has begun proceedings
cannot be true. The prince is Rus
sian subject. and the starting of di-
vorce proceedings in the land of the
car is not the easiest thing in the
world And the Engalitcheffs have not
been in Russia; they have been passing
their long vacation on the Rivera,
They went abroad last November and
have presumably been enjoying the best
OF times ever since.
"Friends of the princess place nc
credence in the story of trouble be-
tween the couple"

PROPOSED NEW LAWS IN
CHICAGO TO cTART FIGHT
Liquor interests and Foes of Saloons
Probably VIII Have Siren
uous Battle

CHICAGO, March 30-Two bills
which are expected to precipitate
bitter fight between the liquor interests
and the foes of the saloon will be in
troduced in the general assembly this
week, at the instance of the Anti
Saloon league.
One of the measures permits prohibi-
ton territory to be created in residence
districts by the filing of petition with
the city clerk, signed by majority OF
the voters of the district. No action by
the city council is necessary at present.
The other bill is the result of the
difficulty experienced in enforcing the
law in the 1000 Illinois townships made
dry last year under the new local option
law
The proposed act declares war on
"blind tigers" and makes it less diff
cult than at present to procure con-
victions by permitting liquors seized in
a raid to be used as evidence.
Heretofore the prohibition forces have
had to prove the illicit sale of liquor

Denies Existence of CamarilIa Around

Political Issues in Vgor-
GUS Manner

BERLIN, March 30.-Chancellor Won
Buelow. during the reichstag debate
on the salary appropriation today,
made a brilliant speech discussing in
ternal politics.
The chancellor replied with master
full thrusts to the attacks made upon
him by his opponents. He denied in
the most absolute terms the existence
of a camarilla around the emperor, de-
claring that with such a straightfor-
ward man as the emperor, intriguers
could not exercise any influence.
The chancellor earnestly warned the
Socialists against disorderly agitations.
saying that if it became necessary
much stricter law would be introduced
TO- their suppression.
He then affirmed that the new taxes,
necessary for the carrying on of the
empire, must be partly direct and
partly indirect; that persons having
property must share the burden in the
shape of an Inheritance tax. while nee
essaries and luxuries also must bear
a portion of the impost.

TAFT WOULD RSTRICT
PATRONAGE OF SENATE
Says Upper House Has No Right to
Appoint Judges-Wants Poli-
tics Eliminated

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Presi-
dent Taft today stated to callers that
he did not consider the appointment of
judges to b. part of the patronage of
United States senators. The president
thinks that judicial appointments
should be free from political influences.
He considers himself to be compe-
tent to pass upon the fitness of the
men for the bench and will do so. At
the same time he said he would be glad
to receive suggestions from senators
ard representatives as to their knowl-
edge of the qualifications of appli-
cants.
The president has several federal
irdgeships to fill in the near future,
and has received many calls from SEN
ators and representatives from the dis
tricts where the vacancies exist.

ined-Hearing May Be Con-
cIuded Today
tBy Associated Presssl


RENO, New. March 30.-Judge III.
F. Bartine, chairman of the Nevada
railroad commission, and Frank Nc
Cune, expert accountant of Spokane
rate fame, were the only witnesses ex-
amined before Special Examiner Lyon
of the interstate commerce commission
In the Nevada rate-hearing case this
morning.
Commissioner Lyon asked Judge Bar
tine why the railroads east OF Ogden
and Salt Lake were not included with
the Southern Pacific company as de-
PENDANTS.
Judge Bartine answered that these
roads had nothing to do with the back
haul charged by the Southern Pacific
all that Nevada contends for is the
same rate from Ogden to Reno as eX-
lists between Ogden and San Fran
cisco.
Mr. Lyon remarked that he was
doubtful if the interstate commerce
commission would make ruling re-
ducing this rate, but would proceed to
take the testimony. Judge Bartine an
swered that the Nevada commission
was willing to take it's chances with
the Interstate commerce commission.
McCunes testimony had to do with
rate figures that he lad compiled. Thir-
ty-two exhibits consisting mainly OF
rate tables, were introduced at the
morning session.
1t is expected the hearing will be
completed by tomorrow night. In or
der to prevent Nevada losing the case
through technicalities, Judge Bartine
and Attorney General Stoddard, who
are conducting Nevada's case, an
nounced this afternoon that they will
include ten trunk railroads operating
east of Ogden as defendants in the
case.
They are confident that Nevada will
win and say they expect favorable
ruling from the interstate commerce
commission within eight months.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Some inter-

sheet of the Marconi Company of
America of January 81, 1909.
The secretary says:
Receipts for short distance--that is
shore to ship, within a radius of 300
shore miles-show an increase of about
$4,000 in gross, but on the other hand
receipts for long distance transmission
have fallen off considerably, partly be-
cause some of the steamship lines
could not. under the depressing circum-
stances, afford the luxury of daily news
for their passengers and partly because
our long distance receipts depend to
great extent on the travelling pub
