others.
In asking for the dismissal of the
charges pending against Hermann,
Mr.. Heney said:
II am convinced that no further
beneficial effect upon society can be
secured by his prosecution, and par
ticularly by his imprisonment in the
event that he should be convicted
upon another trial. Hermann was in
dicted in this case on February 18th,
1905, and owing to some causes over
which he had no control and others
over which he did have control, he
was not tried until the month of jan
uary in this year--a period of prac-
tically five years. The humane pro-
visions of the statute of limitations
In relation to criminal offenses fix q
period ef three years after a crime
has been committed as the utmost
limits within which an indictment
may be brought, unless the offense
was murder"
Mr.. Heney stated that he also took
into consideration the well-known
poor health of Mr. Hermann; also
that I'm the experience of the courts
it would be difficult to obtain the
acurate repetition of conversations so
essential to successful prosecution.

AMERICAN DECLARES
INSURGENTS LOST HEAVILY.

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec 22.--The
first Independent report of the fight
ing between Gneral Navarro's troops
and the insurrectoss at Pedernales and
vicinity was stopped at La Junta a
week ago today. This American said
that there was fighting last Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday at Peder-
males and that the revolutionists lost
sixty-one killed and injured. He
knew nothing of the federal losses.
This fighting was apparently brought
about by Navarro attempting to car
ry out his instructions to proceed 10
Malpaso and hold it for the protection
Of trains. He failed. Up to Saturday
night General Navarro held Peder-
males and was well supplied with foDd
and water.
The official headquarters We're in
the railway station. Revolutionists
were in the neighborhood. The insur-
gent leader Mascual Orozco, was alive
and well as was Navarro.
The passengr train which was stop
ped last Thursday ran at will between
MADEIRA and La Junta every day. Con-
ductor Weber brought it to within a
mile of La Junta where the insur-
rectos stopped IT, Weber then wanted
to proceed on foot to the station to
ask Navarro's permission to resume
the trip to Chihuahua. This was de-
MED him and Sunday he tied up the
train until the situation works itself
out.

Mexico City, Dec. 22.-Colonel
Samuel Garcia Cuellar chief of staff
of President Diaz, left for Chihua-
hua today to succeed Colonel Guzman

Sixth battalion, now operating against
the insurgents near Perdernales.
During Colonel Cuellar's absence
Lieutenant Colonel Porfirio Diaz. Jr.,

Accompanying Colonel Cuellar, were
Lieutenant Colonel Alfredo M. Tor
rea, who will substitute for Major
Vito Alesio Robles, who was also
wounded at Malpaso. Immediately on
arrival of the new officers at Chihua-
hua they will report to General Hern-
andez and will doubtless receive is
andez and will doubtless receive ord
ers to proceed at once to Bustillos,
where the sixth battalion Is stationed.
That the sending of Colonel Cuellar
to the front bears more importance
than If some other officer had been
selected is the impression here, as he
is known to be man in whom the
president has implicit confidence. 1t
IS believed he personally Will investi-
gate the actual state of affairs in Chi

FIVE HUNDRED REGULARS

Chihuahua, Dec. 22.-FiVe hum
dred and sixty soldiers arrived here

The outfit includes a battery
of light artillery and one rapid

been in two fights yesterday but when

were ambushed at Malpaso and which
have been on a siding at Bustillos
since. but the return OF the soldiers
with horses is not so easily accounted
for.

MAKES STRIKE
A CRIME IN
FRANCE
REMARKABLE MEASURE
PREPARED BY CABINE 7
Applies Only 10 Public Service
Corporations and Substitutes
Cancellation Commission for
Usual Arbitration.

LBy Morning journal Special Leased wlrel
| Paris, Dec. 22.--The text of the gov
ernment measures formulated to pre-
vent general strikes with particular
reference to the employees of public
service corporation was made public
today.
The measures constitute a compre-
hensive plan for ending the strike evil
on the railroads and in other public
service by means of an organized con-
| ciiation commission, composed of re-
presentatives of men and companies
The commission will meet at regular
intervals and when coneiliation falls,
compulsory arbitration is provided,
the principle being introduced that
where the arbitral sentence imposed
an additional charge, the corpora
tion can indicate the method whereby
the railroad or other service corpora
tion secure compensation, either by
raising the rates or by other means.
The report accompanying the meas
ures is a remarkable document. 1t
quotes the declaration of the rights
of man to prove that public services
have been instituted for the public
good, not for the benefit of those TO
whom they have been confided, from
which II deduces the conclusion that
the Interruption of public service is
a crime. At the same time is admits
that public service employees, like
other workers. have right to
amelioration Of situation, and in con-
ciliation and arbitration it is pro-
posed to give them a weapon "as pow
erful as the strike
The companies must accede, the
report declares because it is now con-
ceded as a principle Of Jurisprudence
that the state. In conceding public
service monopolies, does not waive its
fright to interfere and compel the con-
'cessionaries to grant ameliorations in
the interest of public good and the
preservation of public order"
