THREE RAILROAD PRESIDENTS
 SEE TAFT TO PROTEST AGAINST
 GOVERNMENTS INJUNCTION SUIT
Their Statement that Ship pers Were Furnished With New Law on Increased Freight Rates As Early
 As May l, Is Flatly Denied

primed President Taft with the facts on the governments side of the case. He left with the President a mass of figures compiled by the Interstate the charges made by the western ship pers.
 Some of the arguments presented by the presidents are as follows:
 First: That the increases in tariffs to date affect only minute part of entire freight:
 Second: That there was no argument of any kind whatsoever between the railroads in the legal sense. All that happened was ''that one railroad gave notice to others that it would increase rates and if the railroad notified de- sired to take the same step. well and good"
 Third: That the present uncertainty of the situation is disastrous to the credit of the railroads and is under mining the value of securities.
 Former Senator John c. Spooner, counsel for a number of mid-western railroads, and Walter S. Hines, coun- sel for the Santa Fe. were here today iE conference with the railroad presi- dents.
 At the White House President Taft spent a large part of the day in pre- pairing for the visit of the railroad men. Senators Crane. Curtis, Depew, Brandegee and Bourne were among the callers who talked over the subject with him.
 The general impression seemed to be that there would be no variation from the program of Attorney General Wickershaw. After a long talk with the President, Senator Depew Repub- lican, New York;, said:
 ''The railroads should have present. ed their case to the Interstate Com merce Commission and not precipitate- ly announced a great increase in rates at time when the country is passing through period of excitement in rail- road matters. If the railroads were confident they had a strong case in relation to the proposed increases. with their wage increases and surface inn provements that have been ordered they should gave gone to the commits sion and discussed this situation''

DEER VISITS BRIDGEPORT
Fleet Creature Comes Dripping Out of Sound, Visits Circus
 Grounds, and Disappears

Two deer dashed through Stratford yesterday morning, leaping, frighten- ed, seeking escape from the crowded haunts of men. In front of the old Congregational burying ground one of the deer made jump, endeavoring to clear the iron fence. It missed, and, falling upon the palings. was thrust through and through. Terribly man. glaed, the deer plainly must die, and to put it out of it's pain Deputy Sher- if Charles H. Stagg shot it. The anil nal was a buck.
 During the height of the storm at Seaside Park yesterday afternoon a lone deer was seen to leave the water. It had been swimming along the shore for some time. The animal effected a landing, ran up Norman street into the grounds at winter quarters, made it's way to a neighboring garden. thence to street and disappeared.
 Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith after making an investigation. believes that this animal was one of the two who appeared in Stratford earlier in the day.
 The game warden says that deer are becoming very plentiful in this part of the State. More than a dozen of the creatures have been reported to him from various parts of Fairfield, South port and Westport.

WOMAN OF HIGH
 RANK TRIED ON MURDER CHARGE
Accused of Urging Capt. Won Goeben to Kill Her Husband, Major Won
 Schoenebeck In Berlin
Special from United Press )

Berlin, June 6.-The trial of Frau Won Schoenebeck-Webe of exalted birth and high rank, on a charge of instigating the murder of her hus- band, Major Von Schoenebeck, on Christmas day, 1907, and of being an accessory to the murder committed by Captain Won Goeben, began today at AllenStein, in East Germany,
 Owing to the prominence of the prisoners and the peculiar circum- stances surrounding the crime the trial will probably be most sensa- tionai, rivalling in some respects the recent trial of the Countess Tarnow- ska in Venice. Hundreds of visitors have Hooked to the remote little garrison town to attend. A majority verdict of the jury of 12 will decide Frau Schoenebeck-Webe fate
 A. O. Weber, the woman's present husband, is a well known writer of Germany and appeared by the side of his wife in court today The in- dictment gives the following version of the tragedy:
 Frau Won Schoenebeck, 33 years of age and Is years younger than her husband was unhappily married she fell in love with Captain Von Goeben and goaded him into fury by telling him of her husbands alleged mistreatment; finally the wife urged Van Goeben to kill her husband and actually planned the murder On Christmas eve, 1907, Captain Won Goeben left the Schoenebeck home where he had been entertained at dinner, at 10 o'clock at night; he re- turned at midnight, crept through a window that had been left purposely unfastened, and shot the major in his bed.
 Captain Won Goeben has confessed his part in the crime but Frau Schoenebeck-Webe denies that she was a party to it. She was arrested but subsequently liberated on account of the lack of evidence. When liberated she assumed false name and married Weber. Her second ar rest came as a result of complaint made in the Reichstag.

Dewitt in his opinion was exactly the type of man that was needed. He re- ferred to his splendid administration as exalted ruler of Bridgeport lodge and of the time and attention he gave to the duties of chairman of the Build ing committee of Bridgeport lodge.
 Such a man as William V. Dewitt, " said MT. Ivers, 'is a credit ta the or der and in honoring him the Aassocia- ton honors itself. He predicted in closing that if chosen MT. Dewitt would bring to the important respon- sibility a fidelity and ability never surpassed by any of his predecessors.
 In behalf of Hartford lodge the nom- ination of MT. Dewitt was seconded by P. Davis Oakley.
 The announcement of the selection of MT. Dewitt was greeted with cheers and the representatives from Connec- ticut to the grand lodge were request ed to present his name to the incom- ing grand exalted ruler as Connecti- cuts choice for district deputy.
 By an almost unanimous vote it was decided to tender a banquet to the grand lodge officers some time next February and to this banquet all members of the order will be made welcome The next meeting of the as- sociation will be held in Hartford next January.

 There were six little boys, ages run ming from 16 to 19, and one or two of them appearing to be even younger, found in the South avenue resort when the police descended upon it last evening. Prosecuting Attorney Delaney was aghast when the six fil- ed in the prisoners pen
 He could not believe the court of ficer had marshalled the right set of prisoners into the pen until he ques- toned the police who made the raid, and found the boys were found in the dive in company with the inmates when the raid occurred
 Upon warrant issued by Delaney following reports of the boldness of the inmates of the place, the police raided it last night and found besides the proprietress, four women and the six boys. Owing to their tender ages the police had not forced the boys to mingle with the dozens of harden ed characters who had found their way into police headquarters over Sat- urday night and Sunday, but assigned them to a separate tier of cells.
 T can't recall such a shocking case in my experience in the city court,'' said Delaney, after the woman had pleaded guilty to keeping house of ill repute.
 Attorney Greenstein who appeared for the woman asked the court to be lenient in view of the woman's hav- ing not been arrested before. Delaney then conferred with the boys in the prisoners pen and learned they had been called into the house as they passed. The inmates hailing them from the windows.
 T feel it my duty to ask your hon. or to impose the maximum penalty said Prosecutor Delaney, when lhe had brought this additional informa- tion before the court.
 The limit of the law is $2O0 and costs and months for this offence Judge Wilder imposed a fine of $1 and costs, and sentenced the woman

lieve it is a new product and prob ably comes from new establishment of the survivors of the band of coun- terfeiters recently rounded up in New York city by Secret Service agents, and sentenced to long terms in federal pris- OnS.
 For several days last week secret service agents worked about the city trying to trace the source of the bills. Day by day they kept appearing at the banks, where they were readily detected and held for the secret ser vice men. In nearly every case the depositOr would be unable to tell whence the money came, but the sec ret service men obtained several clues that led them to believe the men were well established here and plan red to make the city their home for some time.
 Yesterday however, they came to the conclusion that all the suspicious bills they planned to float had al- ready gained circulation and they left the city to take up new clues.

 Washington, June 6.-In order to at- tend a meeting arranged for after 8 o'clock this afternoon. three railroad presidents arrived here today to pro- test against the governments injunc- tion suit holding up increased freight rates in the Mississippi river territory. F. F. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, was at the head of the delegation with s. NJ. Felton, president of the Chicago Great Western. and F. F.. Delano. president of the Wabash, as his packers.
 The impression prevailed here today that the afternoon session was arrang- ed so that Q possible flat refusal on the part of President Taft to put any limitations upon the action of the De- partment of Justice would be announc- ed too late in the day to affect the market.
 Ripley said he would not talk for publication until after he saw the President. Without going into details President Delano said that it would be their purpose to justify themselves and to convince President Taft and the attorney general that in filing tar ifs complained of by the shippers. the western trunk line committee had not changed the practice which has been in vogue for the last 14 years.
 He denied that the presidents of the roads had acted secretly or that ship pers in the western territory had been kept uninformed of the proposed new tariffs. He said that 1,500 copies of the tariff had been printed and dis tributed among the shippers and that the roads had receipts for them. This number was larger than that required by law, he said
 This statement that the shippers were furnished with copies of the new law as early as May l and May 2, is in direct conflict with that of the rep resentatives of the shippers appointed at the Omaha meeting who came to Washington last week and declared it had been impossible for them to ob- tain these copies prior to May 15.
