merce act and it's application to interstate
railroads engaged in the coal industry
will be attacked and defended at the
twenty fourth doctorate disputation to be
held at George Washington University to-
morrow morning at 20 o'clock. This ques-
ton, considered timely in view of the an
nounced intention of the Pennsylvania

mines, and the fight Of the Department
of Justice against other roads operating
mines, will be considered in Connection
with the candidacy of Thomas L. KILLER
for the degree of doctor of philosophy.

DOMINICAN ELECTION
TO FOLLOW ARM|ST|CE
Deputies to Be Chosen Will
Name a Successor to
President B0rdaS.

The Dominican elections, guaranteed by
the armistice which United States Min
lister Sullivan has arranged, will be held
for the choice of deputies, who in turn
will elect president for the regular six
year term which begins next July. Pres
ident Bordas, the present head Of the
Dominican government, Is the fourth in
cumbent of the office since the election OF
President Ramon Caceres for a six-year
term in July. 1905
Under the Dominican constitution the
president is not elected by popular vote,
but by legislative enactment Of the depu-
ties, who are chosen by the people.
The latest Dominican flare-up in Santo
Domingo grew out Of the attempted sale
by President Bordas of a government
owned railroad to parties supposed to ia
vor the aspirations of Gen. Arias to the
presidency. That railroad runs from
Puerto Plata through Gov. Cespedes'
province of Puerto Plata to San Diego
and long has been an important political
factor. It's employees for the most part
joined the revolutionary movement as the
best means at hand for saving their jobs.
The agreement to restore conditions to
their status before the revolt Is taken
here to mean that the railroad will be
operated as formerly.
While Gov. Cespedes was the active
leader Of the late revolt. he received sub
stantial support from Horacio Vasquez
and 1t is supposed that one of these men
will be the candidate of the erstwhile rev.
olutionists in the forthcoming elections.

Whose Husband Was
Slain.

fessed accomplice in the killing of Charles

woman say 1t will not take them more
than two days to present their defense.

Mrs. Reuter- Is alleged to have been init
mate, and Joe Baker, formerly a chauf-
feur. are now serving life sentences for
the killing of Reuter-. The attorney was
shot while asleep in his home.

his original story. He was questioned by
Prosecutor Malloy regarding a conversa-
ton he had with Mackenzie in which he
testified the latter had told him Mrs.
Reuter- said she had been reading in
newspapers for year or more about
women who had murdered their hus-
bands and escaped the penalty of the
law. Bellew declared Mackenzie told him
Mrs. Reuter- offered to kill her husband
if she could get a good pistol. but he
declined to let her try for fear she
would bungle the job and let Reuter- get
her.

against Larrick who had never had a
charge against him previous to this one
in his eighteen years as a policeman. It

who was undoubtedly drunk, allowed the
representative to take him in charge
Representative Elder, who was a total
stranger. took the man home In a hack,
and then informed Larrick of what he

he had gone. On account of the mans
age and the voluntary assistance given
