ON HEAVY BAIL
Louise Arbogast Is Given Free.
dom Under a Bond of
$4,000

st. Paul, July 16.-After two
months in the county Jail Louise Arbo-
CAST, charged with the murder of her
father, Louis Arbogsast, the West
Seventh street butcher, was admitted
to bail in the su moi $4,000 and re-
leased from custody at 1920 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The surety was given by James A.
NOVEL; and Fitzhugh Burns, agents of
the American Bonding company. At
ter the young woman was brought
to the court house from the county
jail by Deputy Sheriff Hans Hansen
at 8 o'clock. she was compelled to
wait in one of the court rooms while
her case was argued before Judge
George L. Bum in chambers by
County Attorney r. D. O'Brien and
William d. Mitchell of Howe, Butler
& Mitchell, the young woman's attor-
neys.
This argument was upon the issue
Of whether Louise Arbogast's case
would be an exception under the sta
tute which provides that a prisoner
held for capital offense shall not be
admitted to bail where the proof is
evident or the presumption great" {"
The fact that the young woman was
allowed bail is regarded as an admis-
sion on the part Of the state that the
proof Is neither evident nor the pre-
sumption great.
Attorneys Split Difference.
There was some controversy be.
tween the attorneys over the amount
Of bail. Mr.. Mitchell holding for $15,-
OO8 and the county attorney insisting
on $25.000. After some discussion It
was decided to split the difference.
The young woman could hardly con-
troll her emotions while eagerly
watching her bondsmen signing the
document that was to give her at
least temporary freedom.
AS Theodore Gronewold, clerk of
court, and a personal friend Of the
young woman, slowly read the words,
you. Louise Arbogast, are hereby re-
leased from custody" the young wo-
man could contain herself no longer;
her features beamed with q broad
smile and, rushing up to County At
torney O'Brien, she impulslvely
clasped him by the hand. exclaiming:
"Oh, sir, can never tell you how
much appreciate your kindness: the
only thing can do is to thank you,
and do thank you froh, the bottom
of my heart"
During the time that the prelimi-
nary arguments were made before the
court, the young woman had chatted
pleasantly with Clerk Gronewold in
one Of the court rooms. Outside Of
Mr.. Gronewold and her bondsmep. no
person was permitted to enter the

OF Havana, an English concern, anu

ositton regarding the continuation Of
the McGivney-R Rokeby contract for
paving and sewering Havana. This
contract was awarded by Gov. Ma
goon during the provisional admins
tration, and while work has been be-
gun on the outskirts of Havana, It
has not progressed satisfactorily.
Mr.. Morgan also notified the de-
partment that the Cuban government
has paid to Spain the sum of $4,000
constituting the first of three pay
ments for war material remaining in
Cuba at the time of the Spanish
American war. The settlement of
this claim was one of the matters
arising from the treaty of Paris, by
which the United States was obligated
to insure payment by the Cuban gov
ernment for tho war munitions
Shortly before the provisional govern
ment ended Mr.. Magoon reached an
agreement with the Spanish minister
to Cuba regarding the terms of the
payment. The agreement provided
that the Cuban republic should pay
to Spain 100000, in the following In
stallments: $4,000 on July 1, 1909;
$780, 900 on July 1, 1910, and $3.50, 200

FLoGGING FATAL
FOrmosans Die After Punishment Ac
cOrding TO Native Methods.

Toxic, July 16.-Considerable sur
prise has been occasioned in the far
east by the discovery that at times
men are still being flayed alive in
Formosa. 1t is said that such ex-
treme measures have been resorted to
with a view to stamping out the vice
OF gambling, which is an inveterate
habot of the Chinese inhabitants of
the island. and does much to hinder
the effective administration of gov
ernment. Japanese officials appear to
be convinced that occasional recourse
to ancient native methods of punish
ment Is the only way to discourage it.
On May Z the Japanese police ar
rested seven men charged with gam
bling. They asserted their innocence,
but under a few strokes from the
bamboo, agreed to confess guilt. Sub
sequently they admitted that the con-
fession was conceded only to escape
further flogging. But the miseries Of
the culprits had only begun. The
men were condemned as gamblers,
and each was sentenced to eighty
strokes of the bamboo. The punish
ment was to be distributed over sew
|eral days at so many blows day.
luz OopouSSO OluCldl WHO dumlulS-
tered the fiogging is reported to have
greatly exceeded the number of
strokes imposed by the sentence. Ap-
parently he acted on the number re-
quired by the court. he was at libedty
to infiict as many more as he felt
like.
This outrage is probably to be TAX
en- as an alteration of justice, and in
no way typical of Japan's general
policy In Formosa. Both in Korea
and In Formosa Japan has abolished
the system of torture she found in
vogue upon her entrance to these
countries. Flogging was banished by
her as form of punishment incon-
sistent with modern civilization, but
1t is said that in both Korea and For
mosa there are times when the minor
officials Of the Japanese administra-
tion are tempted to return to the old
methods as the only way of deterring
criminals.

Pittsburg, July 16.-Street cars
vehicles and pedestrians are being
held up today by steel strikers in
vicinity of the Pressed Steel Car
company's works at Mckoe's Rocks
where there has been much disorder
and some blood-shed during the past
two days. Every approach to the big
plant Is guarded by men and every
one is compelled to satisfy the strik-
ers that they are not seeking employ
ment
With the coming of daylight the
rioting ceased. For several hours the
conditions were quiet and many OF
the strikers were at their homes get
ting sleep. BY 8 o'clock, however
the streets again took on lively
aspect. The strikers, in even more
ugly mood, began gathering around
the various entrances to the mill. Re.
ports were in circulation that an at
tempt would be made to resume op.
erations in a portion of the plan al
least. This caused the holding up by
the strikers Of the street cars, wagons
and persons unknown to the men in
their search for strike-breakers
Squads of the state constabulary rode
through the town as the strikers were
congregating at the gates of the plant
No violence was offered and the state
police took up a position at the upper
end of town. At the first sign of riot
ing the troopers are under orders tc
ride into the crowds and to shoot and
shoot straight.

HAMS IN BAD HEALTH
Father Says he Suffers in Insanitary
Sing Sing


Philadelphia. July 16.-Gen Peter
G. Hams, U. S. Az retired, was in this
city today. on his way to New York.
where he will hold conference re-
garding the case Of his son, Capt.
Peter G. Hains, Jr., who was sent to
Sing Sing for the killing Of William
e. Annis. Gen. Hams said that he in
intended to see John F. Mcintyre of
his sons counsel. The general said:
ut may be that we will ask for a
pardon, that we will move for a new
trial, or that we will ask that my sons
nervous condition be inquired into. At
present 1 am completely in the dark
concerning the suggestions Mr.. Nc
1ntyre may make.
Since the termination of the trial
I have been exerting myself to re-
store my wife's health, as we'll as to
obtain much-needed rest myself, and
have had no talk or extended COM
municafion with our counsel for more
than a month
Concerning his sons health in pris-
on, Gen. Hains said that it was poor
and he even gave 1t as his opinion
that he would not live long.
1T is 8 wonder to me that some of
the prison reform associations have
not exposed the deplorable conditions
existing at Sing Sing" he said.
Built more than half century ago,
the penitentiary in no sense meets the
present requirements of the state of
New York or the demands of modern
day humanitarians. Until the pres
ent time, when the conditions were
brought SO forcibly to my attention, l.,
of course, knew nothing regarding
Sing Sing or any other state prison,
but as an illustration this is one Inn
portant fact which will show an in
sanitary feature of the prison.
Two In One Small Cell.
my son is confined in a cell seven
feet high, seven feet long, and three
and one-half feet wide. with one 9TH
er prisoner. There are two hunks in
this small space, and no plumbing
facilities whatever.
"They are put in the cell at o'clock
in the evening and remain until I
o'clock in the morning. It takes, as
you may imagine. hardy, robust man
to stand this very long. This Peter
is not, and 1 would not be surprised if
he had complete physical and men,

.bEVER|0GE TO \
ASSIST TAFT
President Asks for Conference
With Leader of Downward
Revision Senate Forces

Washington, July 16-As a further
evidence of the anxiety of President
Taft to get in touch with the senti-
ment of the country on the tariff,
Senator Albert ]. Beveridge of 1ndd-
ana, who was rendered a reception by
the citizens of Indianapolis Monday
night for his opposition to the SEN
ate tariff bill, has been wired by the
president to take lunch with him at
the white house Immediately upon his
arrival this afternoon. Senator Bev-
eridge Is one of the foremost advo.
Gates of revision downward and the
president will hear from him the lat.
est information concerning the wishes
Of the Republicans of the central
west.
President for Free Iron Ore.
There are strong indications that
President Taft is insisting that the
tariff conference committee adopt the
house provisions with relation to raw
materials in common use. The presi-
dent is understood to favor free iron
ore, bituminous coal. hides and oil,
and the house rates on lumber and
other lower schedules on the neces-
stiles Of manufacture. His wishes
have not met with cordial reception
from some of the conferees, particu-
larly Senator Burrows and Represent
atives Fortney and Michigan. but it Ia
believed the rates on all these articles
will be materially lowered even II the
views of the president are not accept
ed In full.
Bill May be Passed Next Week.
The president today demonstrated
his conviction that the tariff bill will
be In its last stages BY the end Of this
week by the announcement that IL the
bill was not ready for his action by
that time he would be obliged to can
eel his engagement to attend the con-
federate veterans reunion at Fishers
Hill. Va, on Saturday, July "a. Mr.
Taft several days. ago promised the
Virginia senators that he would at
tend the Fishers Hill gathering IL the
date could be arranged within the
next ten days. SENATOR Daniel called
at the white house today and notified
the president that the reunion would
be held July "a.
Nearly all Of the presidents con-
gressional callers today agreed that
the tariff bill will be out of the way
within the next few days.
Senator Knute Nelson Of Minnesota
declared after visit with the presi-
dent today that the decision OF the
! senate and house to submit to the
people the proposed amendment to
the constitution, permitting the levy
Of an income tax, would be written
down in history. as the greatest thing
done by the present congress.

Delegation Of Twenty Five
Called on President to Ar
que Their Case
SENATE VICTORIOUS N The
SILK SCHEDULE COMPROMISE
A Material Increase Over Present Law
on All High Grade Fabrics of This
Character While the Cheaper Grades
Are Lowered.

Washington, July 16.-More prog
ress was made by the tariff conferees
during the forenoon session today
than in any day since the conference
began. The silk schedule In its en-
tirety was adopted and the rate on
scrap iron which enters into the open
hearth process of manufacturing steel
was fixed by q compromising Of 81 a
ton. As the result, large number
Of changes in the rates of steel pro-
ducts an dparticularly the reductions
on structure steel were adopted. The
silk schedule is one of the most i'm
portant revisions of the existing law.
It reduces the duties on the cheaper
grades of silk but materially increas-
es the rates on the high grades which
are classed as luxuries. The senate
was victorious in the matter of fix
ing this schedule.
The white house was stormed today
by a delegation Of twenty-five Repub-
lican congressman who spent an hour
and half with the president telling
him that their very political lives de-
pended upon the protection of raw
materials. 1t has become pretty gen.
orally known about the capitol that
the president has expressed himself
quite freely as favoring the free entry
of hides, oil and coal, and material re-
ductions on lumber. Many of the con-
gressmen who composed the delega-
~tion. represent southern districts.
: They told the president almost tear
fully that they had been elected on
the theory that they would protect the
raw materials in which their people
were interested an dthat II the party
failed to do this, their districts would
flop back again into the Democratic

SERVE NOTICE ON CUBA
Island Government Must Obey the
MagOOn Decree

Washington, July 16.-The attempt
of the Cuban government to remove
James Page from the position of chief
engineer of the water supply and
sewer system Of Cienfuegos is the
subject of another controversy for
the state department to deal with in
connection with the island republic.
Page is an American citizen and was
appointed by former Gov. Magoon
during the provisional administration.
Secretary Knox has made an invests
cation of the matter and instructions
have been sent to Mr.. Morgan, the
American minister at Havana, to in
sist that Mr.. Page be retained in his
place.
On September 10, 1908, the chief
engineer was appointed by decree Of
Gov. Magoon and also in accordance
with the provisions of the Reilly con-
tract for the Cienfuegos water and
sewer system, the decree setting forth
that the engineer shall hold Office
during the term Of this contract, but
may be removed by tho provisional
governor or other chief executive Of
the state for good cause after notice
and public hearing"
Mr.. Page Protests.
Several weeks ago the secretary or
the department of public works of the
Cuban government notified MIR. Page
that he would be dismissed from the
service, to take effect on July 20, "in
order to observe the regulation of
the constitution of the republic OF
Cuba and the law of the executive
power" Mr.. Page protested that the

decree issued by Gov. Magoon. but
also of the Reilly contract.
The Cuban government has yielded
to representations made by the state
department on two of the points at
issue between the two governments
mentioned in the note by Secretary
Knox to President Gomez several
weeks ago. The first question set
tied as result of the representations
In the note was the Oliver road-build-
ing contract ON which the Cuban gov
ernment had failed to make regular
payments. Shortly after the note was
received by the Cuban government,
full payments to date were made TO

company of Knoxville, Tenn, for road
building in the vicinity of Havana.

government had rescinded tho con.
