LILLIAN RUSSELL
TELLS OF GOWNS
$500 Is Not an Excessive
Price, She Declares.

New York, Nov. S.-Seven hundred dol
lars for gown and $40 for six buttons
are not eXorbitant prices in the opinion
of Lillian Russell, who appeared in the
City Court this afternoon as a witness
in a suit brought by the Mrs. Osborne
Company against the estate of Sam S
Shubert, deceased, and Lee Shubert, the
atrical producers, to recover a bill of
H,717
The Mrs. Osborne Company provided
the gowns worn by Miss Russell in
Lady Teazle'' in 1904.
The gown costing 500 was of gold en-
broidered net with roses; while the white
flowered one was valued at $3.50. And
costumes of green taffeta cost 800, with
a petticoat to match at S45 extra. The
$40 buttons were rhinestones
Miss Russell testified that at the time
the bill was first submitted Sam s. Shu-
bert asked her II she did not think 1t
excessive. Il told him. said the actress,
that 1 did not think it excessive
The Shuberts' attorney attempted to
show that Miss Russell should be held
responsible for the bill, but she declared
she had nothing to do with ordering
the costumes"
Miss Russell underwent a severe cross
examination with a remarkable evenness
of temper. Her large purple hat, low cut
waist, silk skirt, and furs easily dis
counted the amount named in the suit

HELD FOR BIG THEFT.
Postal Clerk Accused of Taking
$4,000 Package.

Authorities of the Washington post
office would make no statement last night
concerning the arrest of George H. HUFF
man in connection with the theft of a
registered package containing $4,000 more
than a week ago. The inspectors are still
searching for the missing money.
Huffman, who for ten years was en-
pIoyed on the postal service between
Charlotte. n. c., and this city, was ar
rested in Lynchburg yesterday. The au-
thorities have so far established the fact
that Huffman signed for the package
when it reached Lynchburg and later re-
ported it missing.
So far as can be learned he was the
last man to handle the package. Inspec-
tors say he spent a large sum of money
on the day following the robbery. He
was brought to Lynchburg ostensibly to
aid the inspectors, and later was placed
under arrest.
Huffmans home is at Penn Laird,
buckingham County, Va. He has until
now had a good record.

Reynolds Refuses to Talk.

New York, Nov. S.-To the surprise of
| the lawyers on both sides, Judges La
! Combe, Noyes, and Coke to-day an
nounced that they had finished consid-
Grafton of the tobacco trusts plan of
disintegration and reorganization, as or
| dered by the United States Supreme
fCourt; also to the surprise of the coun-
sci for the government and for the in
dependent tobacco interests that pro-
| tested against acceptance of the plan the
three judges gave it their approval in
written opinions that varied only as to
details On all essential points they are
| in agreement.
The outcome of the Circuit Courts ap-
proval will be that the Supreme Court at
Washington will have to review the en-
! tire work of the Circuit Court before 1t
can be definitely known what final shape
] the governments strenuous and long
drawn-out effort to bust the trust will
take.
That the independents will plead earn
estIy for a review of the approved plan
by the Supreme Court was made plain
this afternoon when their counsel learn
ed what had been done.
McReynOIds Refuses to Talk.
In view Of the fact that the court re-
notifications prescribed by Attorney
General Wickersham as a condition prec-
edent to the approval of the plan by the
Department of Justice, it is believed that
he will take the initiative in the appeal
to the Supreme Court. ]. c. McReynolds.
the special Assistant Attorney General
who prepared the governments case
against the big combination and prose-
Cuted it through the Supreme Court,
could not be induced tonight to say what
the probable attitude of the government
would be. 1t is known, however, that
from its inception Mr.. McReynolds has
been earnestly opposed to the plan.
In his opinion, Judge Noyes asserts
that the objection of Attorney General
Wickersham was followed by modifica-
tions of the plan, some of its most dEas
tic provisions beirg inserted in order to
meet or avoid his criticisms" He says
also that the provision should be made
in carrying out the plan for keeling in
tact the books and records of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, its present con-
stituents and branches, so that they will
be available and subject to examination
to the same extent as at present in suits
for accounting and other existing liti-
cations.

CONSUL GENERAL REPORTS
ON AFFAIRS AT TRIPOLI

Consul General Wood has made a COM
plete report to the State Department con-
cerning the conditions at Tripoli, but the
government withholds the information
transmitted. All that the department felt
free to give out yesterday was that the
city was in an insanitary condition as a
result of the continued military opera
tions. The consul also said he preferred
to remain at his post and did not care
to take advantage of the offer of the
Chester to take him to Europe
Another report has been received by
the department from Commander Becker,
of the cruiser Chester, detailing the sit
uation which he found at Tripoli after
his conference with the consular officer.
The conviction is growing that the
United States will not take any part in
the war between Italy and Turkey over
Tripoh. The Turks are anxious for in
Prevention from any source, but the State
Department is not willing to be drawn
into the situation upon any condition.

KNOX REPLIES TO
TREATIES CRITICS
Secretary Defends General
Arbitration Measures.

Cincinnati, Nov. S.-Secretary Of State
Knox delivered speech here tonight
in support of the general arbitration
treaties with Great Britain and France
now pending for ratification before the
United States Senate. Secretary Knox's
speech was the administrators formal
answer to the adverse report made by
the majority Of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations against the treaties.
Secretary Knox In his speech tonight
contended that the treaties as presented
by the administration do not deprive the
Senate of any OF its constitutional rights.
He declared that there was no danger Of
the Monroe doctrine becoming involved
in arbitration; that no nation putting
itself in the attitude Of deliberately vIo-
lating that doctrine "coofd expect to find
in the treaty terms for protection against
the consequences OF such an act"
He met further objections advanced by
the Senate committee with the statement
that questions Of immigration and terri
torial integrity also would be beyond
the scope Of the treaty.

POLICEMAN'S BRAVE ACT
POINTS AN OBJECT LESSON

Last Sunday a policeman at the risk
Of his life stopped a pair of runaway
horses in one of the parks andEprevented
disaster to the three occupants OF the
carriage. His action was part Of his
regular work. Had he been hurt badly
he would have been retired, and with no
assurance that his pay would be surely
forthcoming. Had he been killed his
widow and children would have been de-
pendent for sustenance upon a fiuctu-
ating fund derived from uncertain
sources. Yet Congress looks to the Dis
trict police to maintain order and safe
guard life. Had the wife of legislator
been in the runaway Sunday the police

have served as a useful object lesso1.-
