Reparation Case is a
Still Being Heard

Evidence beforeA the examiner for the
Interstate Commerce commission is still
being taken to decide whether the lumber
mill owners Of the south or the lumber
buyers of this state are entitled to the
reparation for the excessive freight rates
the railroads charged on southern pine
from 1908 to 1910. Dozens Of represen-
tatives of the southern mills have been
heard and the testimony Of Nebraska
lumber dealers is now being taken.
E. H. Rowland. representing the Boyer
Van Kuran Lumber company Of Omaha
has been on the witness stand. He ex-
hibited the bills Of lading for the lumber
the company received from the southern
mills during those years and duplicate
copies of the expense bills. He testified
that the freight had been paid by the
lumber dealers here and had been taken
out of the invoice in remitting to the mill
operators Of the south. This is in effect
the testimony Of all who have taken the
stand, but the question still hinges largely
on whether or not the mill men raised
their invoices sufficiently on the lumber
to cover the extra III cents the railroads
were charging for freight during the two
years in which the commission has said
the freight rate was too high

End of Race in Naval
Construction Far Off

PARIS, July A.-That the world is not
yet on the eve Of the cessation of the
struggle between Great Britain and Ger
many for naval supremacy is the preva-
lent opinion in France after careful study
Of the recent speech by Winston Spencer
Churchill In the House of Commons.
The continuation of the rivalry between
those two countries causes a note Of re-
gret here, but there Is an inclination to
believe that IL 1t must 60 on France
should learn lesson from England's pro-
cedure and increase its navy.
The Matin. commenting on the subject,
says 1t Is in position to declare that
Italy and Austria at the instigation of
Germany are about to build additional
superdreadnaughts, in regard to which
nothing has been permitted to transpire.
Italy is to construct six Of these vessels,
each Of 2o000 tons displacement and cap
able of steaming at speed of twenty-fiv
knots, while Austria is to- build three,
each Of them displacing 5000 tons. The
newspaper continues:
THE fulfillment of this program will
destroy the present naval equilibrium in
the Mediterranean and give a big ad-
vantage to the triple alliance.

MUTE CONVICT PUZZLES
CALIFORNIA ALIENISTS

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July A.-Even the
ether test left alienists absolutely unde-
cided today whether Charles Carson, a
convict in Folsom penitentiary, had been
stricken dumb. or is shamning. He has
not spoken word for two years and ten
months.
The common effect Of ether is to loosen
the tongue while the subject is coming
under or out Of its effects.
II was expected that Carson would lose
voluntary control of his vocal organs and
reply to questions put to him by the
physicians. but no sound escaped his lips.
= Carson was sentenced to life impnson-
ment in 1901 FOR assault and robbery. Two
years later he was given death sentence
for his share in murderous Jail break.
He is South Carolinian.

Russia Repudiated Portions Of the

BASIC CONDITIONS ARE CHANGED

WASHINGTON, July N.-Hannis Tay-
lor. former minister to Spain and a writer
on International law, published an open
letter here today, contending that the
Hay Pauncefote treaty Is voidable be-
cause Of the situation arising out CT
Panama's ceding the Canal zone to the
United States.
There is no room for hair-spl'sting on
that point" writes Mr.. Taylor. within
the canal zone the United States is SOW
ereign for all the purposes of interna-
donal law. Under that law II Is well set
void, whenever a change has taken place
In the fundamental conditions existing at
the time 1t was made" .r...
The writer quotes Hall, the English
authority on international law, in support
of that contention.
Parallel Case Cited.
Mr.. Taylor refers 10 Russia's repudia-
ton in 1870 Of certain portions of the
treaty Of Paris. relating to the Black
Sea, and contends 1t set precedent upon
which the United States may act.
In conclusion the writer contends In
part:
I'VE must take the firm stand under
the well-deflned principle of international
law as punctuated by the Russian pre-
cedent Of 1870. that after there has been
an essential change In the conditions ex-
listing at the time the treaty was made, 1t
becomes voidable. In that way we can
justly lift the question out of the domain
Of international arbitration where we
could never obtain fair hearing, into
the domain of diplomatic negotiation
with, Great Britain where we will bs
sure to receive fair and friendly con-
sideration."

Election District and the vote in some
Of the other election districts in the
9th Assembly District admit clearly OF
no other interpretation" replied the
witness.
Have you made a report Of these
facts to the District Attorney"
Il believe they have been submitted,
but election crimes in New York have
been prosecuted with varying degrees
| Of success; and, as you see, we could
not bring this home to any one by legal
proof. / do not think we have enough
here to do any more than raise the
inference. We could not bring that
home to any one. I think.
The District Attorney asked both
the parties TO submit all evidence OF
fraud end asked the Roosevelt people
to submit evidence Of their claim that
there was fraud. but no evidence has
been SUI :nitted."
THE facts stated by you certainly
Justify very rigid investigation" OBJ
served Senator Pomerene, and II the
facts as stated by Roosevelt's repre-
sentatives the other day are true they
ought TO be rigidly examined"
1.-THE charges were made" said Mr.,
Mills, "but they have never been veri-
fled. We have asked repeatedly that
those charges BIO substantiated. Mr..
Whitman, tho District Attorney Of New
York County, has written to ask them
to substantiate them. Mr.. Parsons has
asked that they be substantiated, but
no answers have ever been received.
Il want to state now that, although
we had the facts last April, we have
never felt that anything was to be
gained by charges Of fraud and by
general mud singing but in view
of the persistent attacks made upon
the integrity Of men who have tried to
be honest and who have tried to stand
for the best interests of New York poll
tics I have thought we ought to make
answer before your committee, and
have undertaken to submit these facts
for VIVA. they are worth"
Mr.. Mills produced an accounting OF
money paid to him by the National
Taft League for the New York pri-
maries, and said the largest expendi
ture was for detectives to prevent
fraudulent voting. He said the East.
ern branch of the National Taft
League, organized by Timothy l..
Woodruff, raised about $4,000 spent
in the primary fight. Mr.. Mills raised
ST.O25 for the organization.
Mr.. Mr,c said he had no information
as to the amount Of money raised In
New York for the general use OF the
Taft national campaign.
Ne asked permission to deny state
