Pitlsburg, March 3.-"Honus" Wag-
ner, Pittsburg's great short-stop who
up to now has been "hold-out", has
promised to be good. Not long ago
"Honus" was drawn for jury service

Evans and Davis issued an ultimatum
that if Wagner would sign his con-
tract with the club, accompany the
team on its southern trip and agree to
put forth his best efforts on the dia'
mond this season, he would be ex-
cused from jury service. Late yester-
day he appeared in court, made the
necessary promises and was dis
charged. !

Rome, March 3-Lieutenant Baron
Paterno,, the youthful cavalry officer
who shot himself yesterday after he
had stabbed to death Princess Giulia
Trigona Disant Ella, one of the
beauties of Queen Helena's court, is
improving today and probably will
live to answer for his diabolical
crime. The Italian courts sometimes
deal leniently with the authors of
tragedies growing out of affairs of
the heart.
1t was ascertained today that the
immediate cause of the murder was
the refusal of the Princess to give the
Baron $4,000, with which to pay off
his debts 1t had been generally sup
posed that yesterdays meeting was,
for the Princess, one of remuneration,
as Queen Helena had made every eff
fort to bring an end to their alliance
and reunite the Prince and Princess.
But the police investigation leaves no
doubt that Paterno's first concern
was to obtain funds from source
that had supplied him before

ASSAIL CHARACTER
OF MAN in GRAVE
ATTORNEYS FOR MRS. TURNBULL
COVER WITH oBLlQUY MEM
DRY OF LUCKY" BALDWIN"

Los Angeles, March 3.-Retaliating
for the attack made upon the charac-
ter and morality of their chief wit
ness, Mrs. Lillian Ashley Turnbull, the
attorneys seeking to break Lucky"
Baldwins will on behalf of Miss Anita
Baldwin Turnbull, yesterday covered
with obliquy the memory of the fa-
nous turfman. In the course of his
argument against the motion for a di-
rected verdict in favor of the estate,
Attorney Isidor Dockweiler declared
that the "nauseaus escapades and the
reputation of E. j. Baldwin were so
notorious that they were interviewer
in the warp and woof of the history of
the state"
On the other hand, not man living
he declared, could accuse Mrs. Turn
bull of a single transgression of the
moral law since the day she parted
from Baldwin on learning that he had
of marriage. The eighteenth ami
versary of this alleged deception was
today.
Dockweiler also accused the law
yers of the opposing side of having at
tempted to influence Judge Rives by
their motion to rule upon the facts
of the case, thereby invading functions
of the jury, and he appealed to the
judge to protect the rights of Miss
Turnbulll as ward of the court, in
her endeavor to establish her right to
a name. This, he declared, she valu-
ed more than s2,500O00 share of
the Baldwin estate.
The arguments on the motion will
not be concluded until next Tuesday
to which day Judge Rives adjourned
the case.

BEING KILLED

Hankow, China, March 9.-In all
twenty-three persons were trampl-
ed to death at Shayang, Shupeh
province, today, when a frantic
horde of starving Chinese fought
for food, which missionaries were
attempting to distribute. Many
others we're injured.
The work of relief has been at
tended all along with peril to those
who have taken supplies to- the
famine districts, as the natives in
many instances are mad from de-
privation.
Today, considerable food stuff
was received by the missionaries,
who Immediately planned sys-
tematic distribution. The work
had hardly begun when thousands
of desperate men, women and
children, learning of chance of
their hunger being half satisfied,
swooped down on the supply de-
pot. A riot followed. Each fought
for himself and the weaker ones
went down and were ruthlessly
trampled.

EXTRA SESSION TO

PRESIDENT TAFT ABANDONS
ALL HOPE OF PASSAGE OF
RECIPROCITY BILL

Washington, March 3.-From ad,
ministration circles again came
the unequivocal statement today
that an extra session of congress
was inevitable unless the senate
before noon tomorrow, adopts the
pending bill, providing for Cana
dian reciprocity. This statement
was called forth by rumor last
night that the president was to
consult with Consul General John
G. Foster, who had just arrived
from Ottawa, and with a member
of the Canadian cabinet, regarding
the feasibility of deferring final
action upon the reciprocity agree
ment, until next winter.
At the White House this after
noon it was stated the date of the
extra session probably would be
fixed for March Is. All hope of
getting the reciprocity bill through
before congress adjourns,- has been
abandoned by the administration

The rebels cut the telephone and

railroad. The insurrectos are report
ed as after Francisco Garcia, a
member of the staff of President
Diaz and owner of the big mines at

five rebels and started them to the
prison at Hermosillo.
It is believed that the rebels are
strong enough in numbers to hazard
an assault on the border towns of
Aqua Prieta and Naco. The force
which took Ell Tigre is reported to
have been finely mounted and
equipped, and was under command
of General Blanco. 1t is not believed
that Blanco is the same rebel leader

SAVES AN IMPORTANT BILL
CUTS OFF DEBATE AND SECURES
AGREEMENT TO VOTE ON THE.
TARIFF BOARD MEASURE
ORDER OUT OF CHAOS RESULTS
SENATE FACES A FORMIDABLE
TASK WHICH MUST BE COM.
PLETED BY NOON, MARCH a

Washington, March 3.--Order was
brought out of chaos at g. o'clock
this morning, when the senate. after
many hours of filibustering, reached
an agreement that at $3.50 tomorrow
morning a vote should be taken on
the administration bill to create
permanent tariff board. 1t
was like snatching the brands from
the burning, when this was accom-
plished, as the friends of the mea-
sure had given up all hope hours
before. The senate at o'clock ad-
journed until 10 o'clock today.
Unfamiliarity with the rules of
the senate on the part of the filibust-
ers was responsible for the crumbl-
ing of the opposition. Senator Stone,
confident of his ability to hold the
floor for the night, had permitted his
coterie of long distance takers, who
were to relieve him today, to go
home. Learning this, Senator Beve-
ridge invoked Rule 49," to take Sena-
tor Stone from the floor. Under this
rule, mo senator shall speak more
than twice OIL any subject il debate
on the same day without leave of the
senate" To Stones intense anger and
chagrin, Vice-President Sherman
ruled that the point was well taken,
and Mr.. Stone was compelled to ac-
quiesce.
A motion by Senator Carter of
Montana, that the senate vote tomor-
row morning on the tariff board mea-
sure, carried.
Exactly twenty weary-eyed senators
faced Vice-President Sherman at 10
o'clock when he called the senate to
order for todays session. It was
formidable task that faced that body,
with four big appropriation bills yet
to be passed upon. Another session,
lasting far into the night, if not all
night, is looked for.
At 1:45 o'clock this afternoon the
senate passed the naval appropria-
tion bill and took up the postof1ice
appropriation bill. 1t was announced
by Senator Penrose that the proposi-
tion to increase the postage on the
sections of magazines had
been abandoned

mum amount of stock that will be

stock because there is no stock rails
ing in the former territory and the
forests in the latter state are so
heavily timbered that grazing condi-
tions are not favorable. The total
of stock allowed will be horses and

SALES AND LEASES LEGAL
HOWEVER BOTH MAJORITY AND
MINORITY REPORTS, cRITl-
cIsE PRESENT LAWS
CHARGES WERE SENSATIONAL
REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN OF
COLORADO CLAIMED MoNoP-
OILY BY SUGAR TRUST

Washington, March complete
exoneration of officers of the Philip.
pine Islands government, of all
charges of irregularities or improprie-
ties in connection with the admins
tration of sales or leases of lands in
the Philippines, yet on the other
hand pointed criticism of the made
quacy of the present laws to prevent
monopolies in what are known as the
"Friar lands" are expressed in both
the majority and minority reports of
the house committee on insular af-
fairs, submitted to the house today.
The charge made in the house
year ago, by Representative Martin,
of Colorado, that the sugar trust had
acquired $4,000 acres of ''Friar lands"
led to the investigation of the en-
tire question of the administration
of public lands in the Philippines.
Both reports concur in the opinion
that the organic law of 1902, limiting
individuals to 40 acres and corpora
lions to $500 acres of public land,
hat may be acquired, does not inn
pose the same restrictions on the
disposition of the "Friar lands"
The majority report argues that |
he "Friar lands" should be disposed |
Of in larger quantities to attract buy
ers, while the minority report claims
such action may develop a system of
absentee landlordism as obnoxious to
the Filipinos as was that of the
Friars, against whom they once re-
belled.
AS to Mr.. Martins charge, the ma
jority report denies that any land
was obtained by the sugar trust,
while the minority report asserts If
the sugar trust did not acquire it, the
next door neighbor of the trust" did,
and that there was apparently a
community of interest"

Ration, N NJ, March 3.-While run

east of Trinidad, Colo, near Earl
siding at 10 o'clock this morning. En-
gineer Wooster, Fireman Zuech and

A special train was sent out from
Trinidad as soon as news reached

Tins will live. All three were fright
fully injured, Conductor Brown, in ad-
dition to other injuries, having both
eyes destroyed. He was riding in the
cab of the engine when the accident
occurred.
The injured conductor is one of
he best known railroad men in the
territory, and was member of the

tion for the new state. The engine |
men are equally as we'll known and

FIRST TWO HUSBANDS HAv-

Clayton, N. NJ, March 3.-One of the
most important cases on the trial
docket for the Union county district
court, which will convene on March
is that of the territory OF New Mex
leo against Jesus Chavez, who is
charged with the murder of Pedro
Jose Miera, by poisoning. The charge
is that Chavez placed strychnine in
the coffee of Miera; that Miera drank
the coffee and died in great agony a
few hours later.
The supposed motive for the muir
der was the alleged infatuation of
Chavez for the wife of Miera. About
four years ago, Mrs. Miera was the
wife of Candido Garcia, and lived
near Pasamonte, Union county. Can
dido Garcia and Luis Sanchez had
some trouble over the line Of fence
dividing their lands. Garcia was rich
and powerful. One day they met on
the roadway, and Sanchez shot and
killed Candido Garcia. No witnesses
were present, and at the trial there
was no story told Of the killing ex-
cept that of Luis Sanchez, who claim
ed that he shot Garcia in self defense.
His story was not borne out, how
ever, for an examination of Garcia's
