YACHT HELD PRISONER.
Seized on Understanding That 1t Was
Carrying Arms and Ammunition.

New York, March 27.-The 7o-foot
schooner yacht Loyal, as trim a boat
as is to be seen in New York harbor,
lies prisoner today alongside the de-
stroyer Seneca. of the Tompkinsville
warship station. She was seized by
Captain Carmine of the revenue cut
ter service on orders from the treasury
department in Washington as she was
stealing out past Sandy Hook just be-
fore daylight.
All night the Seneca had cruised be-
low the hook. with her searchlight
playing on all sailing craft Her search
was finally rewarded when the spot
light revealed the white canvas Of the
The Loyal was taken in tow with a
revenue officer on board.
According to unofficial information,
the Loyal was seized because of the
representation of the Haytian minis
ter to the United States, who said that
he understood that arms and ammunf-
ton were being put on board the boat,
which was to clear for Hayti.
The boarding crew from the Seneca
found five men on board, Captain Car
mine would not say whether he found
any contraband but he declared that
a full investigation would be made
within the next "a hours.
It is possible that the Loyal cannot
legally be detained by the United
States government If the vessel is
simply carrying shipment of arms to
Hayti, she is not violating neutrality
laws. If it is shown that the Loyal
is SO fitted out that she constitutes an
armed expedition against Hayti, she
is violating the neutrality law and will
be held by the government authorities.

STANDS BY STUBS.
William Allen White Upholds His Veto
of x. U. Appropriation.

Lawrence, Kan, March 27.-In reply
to the attack which has recently been
made on the action of Governor w. r.
Stubs in vetoing $4,000 of the Uuni-
versity of Kansas appropriation, w A.
White took I'D the defense of the ex-
ecutive of the state. That defense is
expressed in a letter sent to the edi-
tor of the University Kansan and
printed in that paper. For the last
week this student publication has been
publishing editorials deprecating the
act of Governor Stubs. The letter of
Regent White touches directly upon
those articles. The letter says:
Il am sincerely sorry that you deem
ed it wise to attack Governor Stubs
for his veto on the item for upkeep
of the university in the maintenance
fund. The amount taken out was not
large, and so far as he was able to
learn, so he tells. from the university
authorities. the only matters affected
are the proposed underground conduitS
for electric wires and other items of
that nature. Governor Stubs exercised
his veto in several items in other in
stitutions, and while these items were
small. not running over $4,000 in any
instance the aggregate was consider
able, and if he had left an item in the
university budget in his home town
that was not absolutely needed to keep
the university up to it's standard he
would have been justly criticised
Continuing, he declared that politics
played no part in the governors ac-
ton:
Now Stubs is no more responsible
for these appropriations than are doZ-
ems of good men who worked with him
in these legislatures and the taxpay-
ers of Kansas who have sustained
these men at the polls. For all APP
propriationS for all state institutions
have been rising. The activities of the
In the campaign of 1910 there was
serious complaint from the taxpayers
about the increases in legislative ap-
preparations. This complaint found
expression in the platforms of all the
parties in promises of economy. 1t was
manifest in the legislature. The gov
ernor felt 1.-THE believed he had a
duty just as the legislature had to cut
wherever he could out, and still leave
the institutions unimpaired.
Governor Stubs is a Republican
he believes in his party and it's wis
dom. He saw what we all saw. that
to leave a dollar in the appropriations
that might reasonably be cut out
would be a weapon for the enemies of
his party, and he believed as all Re
publicans believe, who have watched
Kansas politics for ten years, and re-
member the Populist outbreak of the
nineties, that to give a Democratic leg
islature an opportunity to make the
appropriations for Kansas would turn
the clock of progress back half a de-
cade, not only for the university, but
for all Kansas institutions. So he cut
to the bone. but with friendly hand"

ASKS TO BE LET ALONE
Chief of the Hopis Appeals to the
Great White Father.

Washington, March 27.-Chief Yu-
keoma, a thin, dried I'D looking little
Hopi Indian from the MnQui reser-
walton in Arizona, clad in the ,rap-
pings of his tribe. and stubbornly pre-
testing against tho mach of civiliza-
ton, appeared 1T the White House to-
day and made plea to Presid ent Taft
on behalf of himself and several hun
dred of his fellow tribesmeE to be left
alone. The aged little Indians speech
was interpreted to the president as
follows: g.
"Oh, Great White Father, my peo-
pie want to live as in the days of old
before the pale face took from US the
land that was ours. We don't want
schools and school teachers. We want
to be let alone to live as we wish. to
roam free without the white man al
ways there to tell US what we can do
and what we can not do"
Yukeoma's beady little black eyes
were sadder than ever when he left
the White House, for the president told
him the schools could not b. abolished
and that the school teachers must con-
tinue their work on the Indian reser-
vations. 1t is said the majority of the
Hopi Indians are in favor of education
and the compulsory attendance of the
children.

LACK OF EVIDENCE.
Cause Dismissal of SANDER Suit In
London Court.

London, March 27.-The suit brought
by the wealthy young baron, Arnold
De Forest against his mother-in-law,
Lady Mary Gerard and the latter
brother. Henry Miner, for SANDER was
tried today and collapsed suddenly
when Lord Derby to whom the ISLANDERS
were alleged to have been confided took
the stand and swore that he had no
recollection of the same. Sir Edward
Clarke, counsel for the plaintiff, there
upon announced that he was unable to
proceed, in view of the lack of evil
dence and judgment for the defend
ants was returned.
Baron DeForest, whose marriage to
the widow of Menier. the chocolate
manufacturer of France, was annull-
ed. subsequently entered English soci-
ETY. and married Miss Gerard, who is
very wealthy having inherited most
of the fortune of the late Baron HirSch.
The wife who is described as beauti-
full and accomplished, later vanished
from her home, and according to the
plaintiff departed in the company of
Lieutenant H. c. S. Ashton, of the
Ziond life guards and a friend of the
family.
The plaintiff alleged that the con-
duct of his wife was approved by Lady
Gerard and Miner in utterances re-
fiecting on him. Miner, who married
the Duchess of Montrose, denies hav-
ing uttered the alleged ISLANDERS.
Sir Edward Clarke opened the pro-
ceedings by describing the married life
of the DeForests, which he said was
happy until one night in May, 1909,
when after ball, the baroness refus7
ed to go home with her husband. In
stead. she want away with the young
guardsman, Ashton, and on the next
day confessed to her husband in the
presence of her mother and uncle, Mil
ner, that she had been at fault. The
matter was patched up and the baro-
ness returned to DeForest.
In the course of his statement Sir
Edward divulged that it was the
Baroness DeForest with whom Ashton
e1oped to Palma in February 1910, in
stead of the daughter of a high court
functionary as was reported at the
time. Subsequently DeForest again
forgave his wife.
