Washington, D. c. Especially
effort Of the United States govern
ment to punish Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer,
the editor of the New York World,
and Mr.. Delavan Smith, the editor of
the Indianapolis News, for alleged
libelous publications, reached the
Senate Monday. Senator Rayner in
PRODUCED a resolution calling upon
Attorney General Bonaparte to in
form the Senate whether the activity
OF United States District Attorney
Baker in laying the facts before the
grand jury, was instigated by the
President, and IL SO under what
statute of the United States, If any,
the President had acted, and by what
right and authority the District At
torney Is acting.
II Is understood, though altogeth-
er funof1cially, that the general be-
lief that Mr.. Roosevelt as President
OF the United States, or the govern
ment of the United States, or the
District of Columbia, is not the COM
plainant. Mr.. Charles P. Taft. one Of
the three gentlemen most affected by
the publication Of the New York
World. and of the Indianapolis News,
arrived here, in obedience, 1t Is said,
to subpoena from the grand jury.
MI. Cromwell has been here some.
days.
Cromwell The Complainant.
While the utmost reticence is rig
idly observed by District Attorney
Baker, there is authority for the
statement that Mr.. Nelson Cromwell,
acting either solely for himself, or
for himself and Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Robinson, AZ the real complainant, and
that the name Of the United States
as the complainant Is merely follow,
Ing the ordinary legal procedure;
The Dfstrict Attorney being inform
ed that crime has been committed

from whom the members of the
grand Jury may obtain. information
Of the circumstances surrounding the
alleged crime.
The grand jury had before it Mr..
Jerry Matthews, who is attached to
the Washington Bureau of the In:
dianapolis News. Mr.. Matthews Is.
also connected with the Washington
Bureau of the New York Sun. Mi.
Matthews, of course, declined to
state what information he had given
the grand Jury. but there is, reason
to believe that his testimony was pure
ly perfunctory and that he. merely
explained to the members of the
grand Jury, who are not newspaper
men,. the relations of the Washing
ton correspo ndcnt OF d newspaper to
his home office.
Thompson Missing.
Mr.. Charles Willis Thompson, who
was formerly the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York World.
but who is now in Washington, was
also summoned. but did not appear.
It is not believed that any testi-
lnony of material value will be OBJ
tanned, or, indeed, is expected from
any of the correspondents who have
been, summoned before the Grand
Jury. Mr.. Nelson Cromwell will APP
pear before the Grand Jury, and,
possibly, Mr.. Taft. 1t Is expected
that the Grand Jury will act on the
statements made by these gentlemen.
Mr.. Douglas Robinson has not ap-
peared, nor is 1t known IL he will
testify. There is reason to believe
that the Grand Jury will return in
dictments against either Mr.. Pulitzer
or Mr.. Delvan Smith, or, possibly,
both.

Quake is Felt in Northern Italy to
Austria.

Vienna Especially - Slight earth
quake shocks were felt in Southern
Austria and the Tyrol. The disturb
=ances extended from Sarajeye, in
Southeastern Bosnia, to Meran, In
the Tyrol. Among other places
where the shocks were felt were
Trieste, Pola and TRENT. No damage
has been reported. =
Professor Belar, of the Laibach
Observatory, describes the earth
quake as very strong. He says the
center was in Upper Italy, but the
shock was felt through wide radius,
even at Laibach.
Rome Especially ALL of Tuscany
and many of the principal cities in
the northern part of Italy were shak-
en- by an earthquake. The inhab-
itants were thrown into a panic.
Hundreds rushed from their homes
fearing calamity like that suffered
by Southern Italy and Sicily, and it
was several hours before many Of
them could be induced to re-enter
their dwellings.
Present indications are that Italy
was more or less shaken as far north
as the foothills of the Alps. A
strong shock of an undulatory char
acter, lasting for four seconds. was
felt at Genoa at Las o'clock in the
morning. Two shocks, probably the
same seismic wave, were felt at
Venice between las and LAT A. M.
An undulatory shock, moving from
the north to the south, was reported
at Bologna at 1.50 A. M. and a
slight shock was felt at Milan at the
same time. Many other towns were
affected, among them being Florence
and Padua.
According to the records of the
observatories, and especially the es-
tablishment. maintained at Florence
by the Jesuit Fathers. the center OF
the disturbance was near Leimbach,
Saxony.
The quake was strongest in italy
at Treyiso, / 6 miles north of Venice.
A strong and violent shock was
felt at the town of Imola, in Central
Italy. at 1.43 o'clock A. M. The In
fearing repetition of the,

from their houses, terrified and in a
state of panic. The streets were

PROMOTION COMMITTEE.

AT its weekly meeting yesterday af-
ternoon the Promotion Committee
heard the report of Acting Secretary
Cooper and also listened to the tenta-
tive plans of harold Dillingham;, who
has been appointed to direct the com
ing floral parade The plans of the
latter in general were approved. Mr..
Lloyd Chnds reported from Seattle
that the exhibit from Hawaii at the
Alaska-Yukon Exposition had been
packed and would probably arrive here
on the transport Dix. Mr.. Bowen
suggested that arrangements be made
to make a permanent display of the
exhibit here. This idea was received
with favor and will doubtless be fol-
lowed out if it is found possible to OBJ
tain a suitable place for it.

Commercial News
BY L. D. TlMMoNs

Friday, shorn of heavy mails or 9th
er distracting circumstances, is usually
day of considerable trading and cor
respondingly strong prices on the
Stock Exchange. Precedent was over
topped today, however, at every point,
the demand for stock of almost every
name being extraordinary and prices
| bullish in the extreme. That the adj
vance will continue is not likely: but
it is equally unlikely that there will
be any falling back of prices so long
as the present altogether promising
conditions continue.
The story of street sales and Ex-
change business since yesterday, if de-
tailed, would read like boom tale;
whereas, however, there is no boom
to it. IL is merely an adjustment of
prices in consonance with responsible
estimates of values. Many stocks have
been too low for months and they are
now merely coming into their own.
When the session opened this morn
ing the sale of rs shares of Wa!alua
at 124 was reported. This was the
signal for an advance upon that stock,
and the same was freely bid for more.
None was to be had, however, hold
ers insisting upon $126.
Pioneer also took to the air. Be-
tween boards rs and 25 shares sold
at S191. 1t was plain that the spell
had been broken. Ten shares were
then sold at 1892. 50-and the stampede
was on. At the close $193 was being
offered, but holders, Independent and |
enthusiastic, we're demanding 5000.
Oahu also made another dash for its |
rightful position, so and 20 shares find |
ing buyers on Change at $93. At the !
close of the session the same was bid |
for more, but holders were asking

Hawaiian Commercial was another
stock that come up extraordinarily
strong, 10 shares selling at $37. rs. At
the close the same was asked, but bid
ding had shaded to $37. 625.
Still another show of strength was
in Honokaa, 25, 25 and so shares going
at 800 At the close $19 .S75 was bid
and $40 still asked.
olaa sold readily at 1925, So, so, so,
1875, Ito and rs shares finding buyers
between boards and and 10 on
Change at that figure. At the close
the same was being asked, with Sc. 1875
bid.
McBryde sold at $3.50 20, 100, 200
and 500 shares changing hands. At
the close the same was still bid, Sc .s75
being bid.
Eva was very strong and in demand,
400, 20, 200, % and So shares selling
at $31.75. The same was offered for
more but $50 was asked.
Hutchinson again appeared, 10 shares
selling at SIPS. For the stock the
same was bid, but $17 so was asked.
Hawaiian Pineapple was also on the
upgrade, 10 and 100 shares selling a.
S29.2 rs, more being on the market
however, at the same.
Altogether it was a great stock day
and the indications are that the week
will end with prices higher than in
months before.
