Dam Bill Face. Defeat.

A Glow was aimed at the General
Electric Company by Senator Jones OF
Washington yesterday in an amendment
offered to the Connecticut dam bill,
providing that the charter of the Con-
necticut company shall be void II
through any device its privileges shall
in the future be turned over to a cor
poration controlling a larger amount of
electric power, than does the Connect
cut company. Defeat of the Connect
cut dam bill as drawn by Secretary of
War Stimson and approved by various
prominent conservationists was predicted
in the Senate yesterday.

Americans Fully Warned.

That the administration expects not
only Americans but other foreigners TO
get out OF the way OF firing In Mexico
City was made plain tonight The
woundiDg and even killing of Americans
whose curiosity may overcome their dis
cretion will not be sufficient TO induc,
the Taft administration to adopt moro
drastic measures with regard TO Mexico
AS long as the casualties among Ameri-
cans and other foreigners are limited
to those who continue needlessIy to ex-
pose their persons to artillery and rife
hre, the administration will decline to
plunge the country into a war Am
bassador Wilson, acting upon instructions
from the Sta.e Department. has repeat

he recalled that on the occas sions in
which Americans in FL Paso, Texas, and
Douglas, Arizona, were killed by rife fire
from across the border. the Federal au-
thorities declined to allow the Incidents
TO draw them into hostilities with the
Mexican forces, since residents on the
American side OF the line had been
warned to get out of the danger zone
1t is the view of the administration that
the Mexicans have a perfect right to
contest as fiercely as they see fit the
control OF their capital and its govern
ment, and that for the United States
to demand that fighting in the city cease
is meaningless unless backed UP by a
determination to engage Mexico in war.

BATTERY CASE Is
 BEFORE TRIAL JURY
W. C. WELLS CHARGED WITH CRUEL TREATMENT FOR US.
 ING ELECTRIC 'PERsUApER!
Controversy over Horse Trade That
 Began in the Lower Courts Has Now Reached Circuit Court Hearing

w C. Wells, charged with crnel and inhumane treatment to horse, is on trial in circuit court after the case had been tried in the lower court and another suit had grown out of the incident.
 It is charged by the state in the case on trial now that when Wells applied an electric battery attachment to the harness, so that when he touched a button he would send a shock to the horse, as sort of per suadeT," he was engaged in viola tion of the laws on the question of humane treatment to animals. The state contends that such treatment is inhumane.
 Two lower court trials growing out of the situation attracted some at tention. Wells, il was charged, sold horse that when driven and exhib. ited in harness, appeared to have considerable yigor and enthusiasm. The purchaser found soon after maE- ing the purchase that the horse had lost a whole lot of his inspiration, and not long after, the horse died
 The man who had purchased the horse thought something was wroug and conducted an investigation. H had veterinarys to hold an autopsy over the horse, and discovered there was an enlarged liver. He then sued Wells to. recover on the horse trade and failed to get judgment.
 Wells was prosecuted, however, in the lower courts, On the same charge he is being tried on in circuit court, and there Wells was convicted anc fined $50. from which verdict he took an appeal to the circuit ourt where the case is now pending.

LOPEZ FATE DOUBTFUL.
Fires Which Were Started to Smoke
 Him Out Have Died Down.

Fires Which Were Started to Smoke
 Him Out Have Died Down.
 Bingham, Utah, Dec. 3.-Behind it's double bulkheads the Utah-ApeX mine still held secret tonight the fate of Ralph Lopez, slayer of six men. The smudges that were ignited Monday continued to pour their poisonous gases into the upper workings until late tonight, when they were allowed to die down.
 Many miners contend there is a possibility that Lopez is safe from the gases in some recess of the mine where air may be had or that he may have escaped through some unwatch' ed exit before the fumes became empowering.
 Lopez killed a Mexican miner on November 2l in a fit of jealousy and followed this crime by killing three peace officers. After a long chase ne took refuge last Thursday in the mine where he killed two more depu' ties on Saturday.

Actress Famed for her Sparkling VI vacity and Wit May Again Be tho Defendant in Sensational Suit.

When Judge o. H. Sumpter left Hot Springs about 20 days ago for California he did not go west to lcok the country over. And when ne re- turned home a week ago, ne aid act return empty-handed. Neither d!d he return with a stock of interviews. lie went quietly, and he returned qaiet- ly, but hinged upon that visit there is evidently a whole lot at stake
 A San Francisco newspaper has just found out that Judge Sumpter visited that western metropolis, and that his mission there was the sub- ject of some genuine news, as is shown in the following special.
 Edna Wallace Hopper, the dainty comedienne known to theatergoers throughout the United States for her sparkling wit and vivacity. is once more involved in what promises to be sensational lawsuit
 ''The setting will probably be in this city, according to Judge Orlando, H. Sumpter, of Hot Springs, Ark, who represents William Wallace, Edna's brother, in the legal melee
 Some spicy testimony is expected in his efforts to tie up a trust fund of $50 GOO.
 The actress, who is a former wife of De Wolf Hopper and who is now l.., ta in New York City. Her brother lives in Hot Springs, and he Is not prosper ous, according to Judge Sumpter, who explained the trouble between brother and sister in the brief as follows: Mrs Josephine Dunsmuir, the mother of Edna Wallace Hooper died in 1901, ledving vast estate in Brit ish columbia, worth s15,000.000 Edna Wallace lost the bulk of this estate after several years litigation.
 In her win Mrs. Dunsmuir left the sum of sl0O a month to William Wallace ro be paid until he came into possession of a trust fund of $50 900 on his 45th birthday Attorney Charles II. Lowell of San Francisco is the administrator. Through an agreement between Edna and Will liam, the latter assigned over his in terest in his mothers estate to his sister on the promise that she would pay him s100 month for life.
 Edna Wallace Hopper then sold | her property to a corporation of which she is the chief stockholder thus leaving brother Williams $l0O per month absolutely unsecured. If she should die he would never be able to collect a cent,
 "I am here to prevent if possible the payment of this $50,000 to Mrs. Brown until we can find out the lay of the land. Perhaps we can effect compromise between Mrs, Brown and MT. Wallace. In that event all will be we'll"

Euqenie.

Eugenie, widow of Napoleon the
Little, and eX-empress of France, Is
sick at Nice. The illness itself is net
serious. But the former beauty is al
most 81 years old, and at that age
small sicknesses have large results.
1t speaks volumes for the forbear-
ance of the French people that Eu-
genie has been aS1e 10 pass so muuch
of her declining life among them,
without even the annoyance of hos
tile criticism. She inflicted greater
harm on France than any one-save
her incompetent husband-has done
since Waterloo. 1t was Eugenies
ambition and i'll counsel that enabled
Bismarck to force the issue in 1870
1t was Eugenie's order TO Marshal
Bazaine that caused him TO surren-
der Metz with 1900 men, when by
holdisg out he could have secured
infinitely better terms for France
Not many countries would overlook
such weakness. Perhaps France would
not, if she had not been accustomed
to bad counsel from women in the
confidence of her rulers From un-
canny Catherine de Medici on through
imperious Montespan, sanctimonious
Mantenon and ambitious Pompadour
to captivating EuGenie, most women
who have held power in France have
used it to their countrys harm.
One cf the best things about a
true republic is that it puts an end
to palace intrigue. II France had not
accepted a tinsel empire. she could
not have been harmed by Eugenie's
