REStNTS THE SLURS
Commercial Club Gets Com
municati0n From a BEL
gian Committee.
CONGO IS RULED FAIRLY

The local Commercial club Is in re-
ceipt of a personal hand written let
ter from A. Beernaert. Minister Of
State at Brussels. in which he en-
closes a communication signed by all
the leading men of Brussels rehears-
ing the difficulty that country is hav-
ing at present with Congo and the
continued and alleged unfair attack
made on the Belgian government in
the African possessions by the Eng
lish people. Copies Of the communi-
cation have been sent all over the
world as the committee declares that
it wishes everyone to know its stand
in the matter and wish to publicly
give vent to an emphatic protest.
1t is alleged that there is undue
prejudice by the English people
against the Congo possessions in AZ
rica and that they are making unfair
charges against the Belgian for the
benefit OF their own interests. The
latter country feels that it is being
placed in a wrong light with the
world at large because of the unjust
charges and wishes to correct the i'm
preston.

veloped that the arm was fractured.

SUICIDE THEORY
IS NOT CREDITED
Frank WeigeI Met His Death,
Yesterday Morning, in
Accidental Way.
HIS FATHER-IN-LAW TALKS
HE TELLS THE CORONER THAT
THERE Is NO DOUBT THAT
DEATH WAS DUE TO ACCIDENT
Al cAUsE-vERDlcT.
HIS FATHER-IN-LAW TALKS

All possibility that the death of
Frank C.. Weigel was due to suicide
was removed by the testimony of his
father-in-law, Mr.. Cook, to Coroner
Bramkamp. Mr. Weigel was accident
ally asphyxiated early yesterday morn
ing in the bathroom of his residence
at t115 North Fourteenth street.
Mr.. Cook stated that upon being
summoned to the bathroom. by his
daughter, Mrs. Weigel, who found her
husband, he saw Weigel lying on the
floor, across the rubber hose which
connected the stove with the defective
artificial gas jet on the wall The
gas was still burning in the stove
when MIR. Cook entered the room.
Cook turned off the gas. and not Mr..
Weigel. 1t is believed by Mr.. Cook
and also by Coroner Bramkamp, that
the deceased was too weak to with
stand the fumes which had collected
in the room from the defective jet.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock. at his residence
Burial will be in New Paris cemetery.

CONDUCTOR COOK
GETS FAIR TRIAL
Mexico States That the Amer.
lean Is Not Discriminate
ed Against.
TRIAL UNDER AN ODD LAW
COOK PROSECUTED UNDER AN
ANCIENT STATUTE WHICH
MADE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR
TRAIN UNDER HIS CARE.

Mexico City, Jan. flames A.
Cook, the American railroad conduct
or, who is held in custody as Guada-
lajara, charged with completely in the
robbery of a train of which he was
in charge on the Mexican Central rail-
road, is having a fair trial, and his
case is being expedited as much as
possible under the Mexican laws.
The trial is being conducted under
the laws of the State of Jalisco, with
which the State Department of Mex
leo, has no right to interfere.
The authorities of Jalisco, never
theless, have been asked by the Mexi-
can state department to use every ef-
fort to reach a verdict in the case of
the accused man.
These were the facts as stated by
Government officials here, notwith-
standing reports received here to the
effect that Mexico has been urged by
the state department at Washington
to hurry the trial of Cook. and that
representations had been made that
ed by the government of Mexico,
were being criticised in an unfriendly
manner in the United States.
An Odd Discovery.
Sub-Secretary of Foreign Relations
Gamboa stated that nothing in the
nature of criticism had reached the
foreign office.
The statement made by Mr.. Gam
boa agrees with information given out
at the United States embassy. Attor-
-neys here, who have interested them
selves in investigating the law under
which Cook is being held for trial,
have discovered the unique fact that
the law originally framed to apply to
trains of mule or OK teams before the
era of railroads in Mexico.
These trains were the only means
of freight transportation. They were
often the prey of bands of robbers or
Indians, and were sent out under es.
cort of armed guards in charge of one
individual.
This man was held personally re-
sponsible for the safe conduct of the
train in his care. The law is said to
have been applied, with little modi.
fication, to conductors of freight
trains since the advent of the railroad
in Mexico.

Beginning Today Cheap Lunch
Houses Will Increase
The Prices.
ONE CENT ADVANCE MADE
FROM NOW ON MEALS THAT
HAVE COST FIVE CENTS WILL
BE PLACED ON THE MARKET
AT PRICE OF SIX CENTS.

New York, Jan. Those who live
from hand to mouth at the Hard-in-
Hand restaurants, long feature of the
an increase of 20 per cent. beginning
today, in the cost of meals that here
tofore have sold at five cents each.
Hereafter the meals will be six cents
The increase, according to employees
who quote John S. Conroy, general
manager of three restaurants. is due
solely to the increased cost of provis-
ions, a cause that has perplexed great
er minds than those of the Bowery
From such large area is the pat
ronage of these soup houses" drawn
that the management felt compelled to
advertise in the daily papers giving
their clientele notice of the increase.
A Sample Menu.
Here is menu of the present five
cent meals, as made up by c. Bott,
Cashier of the Hand-i Hand. at 333S
East Twenty-third street:
Baked Beans, bread and coffee.
Oatmeal, milk and coffee.
Fish cakes F'riday) and coffee.
Doughnuts and coffee.
Four buns and coffee.
Fruit cake (whole) and coffee.
Pie (whole) and coffee.
Soup QUART and coffee.
Other restaurants are maintained by
Conroy at No. 219 Bowery and No.
Mulberry street.
A striking feature of the provision
made for feeding the five-cent meal is
the fish order for Friday. Without
this change in the bill of fare the res
taurants would lose a great deal of
their Friday trade. regardless of the
fact that most of it comes from the
derelict highways of life. p
The men are fed from counter
built in the shape of horseshoe. pre-
cisely in the manner employed in the
more stylish quick lunch" places.
They are quiet and orderly. Women
supplied with tickets issued by the Sal
vation Army are also fed.
