WATER RATES TO
Be MAINTAINED
Railroads Not to Compete With
Water Routes by Reducing
Rates

Washington. March 29-Through
an amendment to the railroad bill in
troduced today, Senator Burton seeks
to prevent railroad companies from
reducing rates for the purpose of
crushing water competition by pro-
hibiting an increase afterwards. The
amendmenk would provide:
THAT whenever railway or rail-
ways in competition with a water
route shall reduce the rates on the
carriage of any freight, it shall not
be permitted to increase such rates
unless, after hearing by the interstate
commerce commission, it shall be
found that such proposed increase
rests upon changed conditions other
than the elimination of decrease of
water competition and the said COM
mission is hereby given the right to
prescribe minimum railroad rates on
lines competing with waterways
whenever, in its opinion the object of
the railroad or railroads in reducing
rates is to destroy waterway compe-
titiOn,"

HELPS ISLANDS
Free Trade Provisions of New Tariff
Beneficial to Philippines.

Washington. March 29.-The free
trade provisions of the new tariff act
between the United States and the
Philippines. according to official re-
ports from Manila, have resulted in a
considerable increase in the customs
and internal revenue receipts of the
Philippines government.
The bureau of insular affairs of the
war department has received a tele-
gram stating that seventy-nine men,
bers of the Philippine assembly out of
total of eighty-one had opened a
special session at P:Guio, the sum-
mer capital.
The object of the session is to pro-
vide for the continuance Of work on
public improvements already under
taken and to consider authorizing ad-
ditional projects which had not been
authorized prior to the adjournment
of the regular session because of the
fear that the new tariff arrangement
would so decrease revenue chat they
would not be sufficient to permit of
such works. This, however, has not
been the case and the Philippine gov-
ernment now finds itself in excellent
shape to continue these improve
ments..

INSURGENTS WILL
GO TO NICARAGUA
Large Number Gathered at
New Orleans to Fight the
Madriz Government

New Orleans, March 29-Unspeak-
able barbarities are being perpetrat-
ed in Granada under the direction of
the Madriz government, according to
Carlos Chamorro, whose brother is
the leading insurgent general, Emilio
Chamorro, who arrived here yester-
day. Chamorro declared that veal
thy plantation owner named Caronel
was recently dragged from his home,
whipped to a point of laceration and
finally killed because of his refusal to
contribute money in support of the Ma
driz faction. Both men and women
relatives OF the insurgent leaders,
although innocent of any actual at
tack On the titular government, have
been imprisoned. Chamorro asserts
stubborn legal fight is promised
by the adherents of Madriz against
the sending out of the proposed eXpe-
dition from this port in support of the
insurgent movement.
That an extensive organization will
be sent to Bluefields from New Or
leans seems certain, unless there
should be some interference on the
part of the United States. Authentic
reports say that hundreds of Ameri-
cans have been engaged to carry on
the warfare against Madriz. Album
dance of arms has, without doubt,
been obtained. An unusual feature of
this equipment, according to we'll de-
fined reports, is the inclusion of many
repeating shotgunD and liberal sup
ply OF buckshot.
That the reinforcements which the
representatives at New Or
leans plan to send to Nicaragua will
be on much more extensive scale
than had been generally understood
became evident last night when Gen.
Victor ID. B. Gordon expressed de-
sire for American sympathy in the
movement against the Madriz govern

would have to do with penal legisla-
tion, judicial procedure, corporation
laws. legislation dealing with Gus

systems and navigation. In return
Finland would obtain representation
in the duma and the council of empire.

OF The POSITION He IS N
Covers His Face With His Hands NJ
the Recital Of the Horrible Manner
in Which the Young Stenographer
Was Lured to Her Death.

New York, March 29-Although Al.
bert Wolter. the youth accused of
trapping Ruth Wheeler into his rooms
and then stranglin gand burning her
to death, begged the detectives today
to give him until Wednesday and "I'll
tell you the whole truth" there was
small indication that his accusers
meant to let up for moment in the
pressure for confession.
Wolter passed miserable night in
his cell at the Tombs. He seemed
to realize to the fullest, the serious
ness of his position. Springing at ev-
cry mention Of the tragedy and COW
ering his face with his hands and
sobbing at the reiteration of the pitt
full tale of the girl stenographer who
had met such an appalling fate short
ly after applying to him for a posi-
ton, the trembling lad clung to the
comfort contained in the reassuring
message which came to him from
his companion, Katie Mueller. The
police declare their confidence that
they have a complete scircumstantial
chain of evidence woven about VOL
ter. They are still anxious, however
to uncover the definite motive for the
crime and find out how much Katie
Mueller really knows about what was
going on in VOTERS apartment, not
only after the visit of the Wheeler girl
but on other occasions when Wolter
is suspected by the police of having
lured young women to his quarters.

ment- 1t is apparent that the revolu.
tionists not only firmly believe that
they can hold for some time what
they may now call their own, but that
they also look forward with confidence
to ultimate success in reaching Man
aqua and overthrowing Madriz. They
now laugh at the assertion made sew
eral weeks ago that the revolution had
been crushed.
Gen. Gordon, who has been the &C.
tive head of the insurgent colony
there, talked in cheer way in the
discussion of plans.

Carlos Chamorro, one of the men,
bers of the family which has been
identified with the revolution, arrived
here today on the steamer Abangarez
from Limon. He and other passen-
gers brought reports that revolution
lists in Honduras had overthrown
President Davila, but these lacked

nesday night ON Charles Kohler, a
deacon of the Mariners Harbor Bap-
fist church of Staten Island, who
had preferred charges against the
pastor, Rev. John Troy. 1t was
probably the most exciting night in
the history of that town. Long be-
fore the hour set for the hearing,
p~arishioners gathered. So did Gu
riosity-seekers, who hoped for q
fight.
The church was crowded when the
deacons who had considered the
charges, took their seats. Kohler's
quest to be represented by counsel
was denied and reporters were
barred out.
What took place at the hearing,
therefore, was kept secret beyond
the concrete result. 1t is under.

will not be accepted by Kohler and
his friends, who will carry the case
to the Baptist church's highest

in other words, that it was a fam.

Mrs. Troy, the pastors wife. MRS
Kohler before her marriage lived
with the Troys, and it was in theil
house Kohler wooed her.
Recently David A. zeliff, a deacon
of the church. and a relative Of
Kohler. preferred charges against
Mrs. E. Decker, a teacher in the
Sunday school. The charges were
heard by the deacons and Mrs
Decker was found innocent. zelif
was dealt with then as Kohler was
Wednesday.
That was the beginning of the
trouble, friends of the minister say
Utterances derogatory to him be
came frequent. AS a result charge!
were preferred against Kohler.,
At the end of the hearing the
clergyman would not talk. His wifi
said he was unable to do so, owing
to the church rules.
