% tecond Day's Trlal of Enrico Caruso, the Singer, New York, Nov. 23.—An immense crowd was in the Yorkville police court when the hearing In the case of Enrico Caruso, the opera singer, char- ged with annoying a woman in Cen- tral park, was resumed. A sensation was created immediate- ly upon the resumption of the hearing. A woman was called to confront Ca- ruso and he was asked if it was not a fact that he had annoyed the wo- man at the Metropolitan Opera House on Feb. 4 last at a performance of “Parsifal.” Carusa said he had not annoyed her. Deputy Police Commissioner Mathot then asked Caruso if it was not true that he had acted in an indecent man- ner toward several women at the New York horse show. Caruso’s counsel protested agalnst these questions and said that the al- legations Bhould not be made unless the women concerned in the various cases should be produced. NOTABLES ON THE PROGRAM. Shaw and Bryan Address Transmis- sissippi Congress. Kansas City, Nov. 23.—At the Trans- mississippi commercial congress the especial cards were Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury; Isham Ran- dolph, chief engineer of the sanitary district of Chicago, and William J. Bryan, all of whom made speeches. Mr. Randolph spoke at the morning session on the subject, “Deep Water- ways from the Lakes to Gulf;” Sec- retary Shaw at the afternoon session on “American Finance” and Mr. Bryan in the evening on “The Development of the Transmississippi Region Along Commercial Lines.” The day was one of the most important of the entire gathering. THOUSANDS IN WILD PANIC SIX INCENDIARY FIRES OCCUR WITHIN SMALL AREA IN NEW YORK CITY, New York, Nov. 23.—Six incendiary fires within an area of half a dozen city blocks caused excitement in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth street and Eighth avenue early in the day. One woman was so severely injured that she may die, hundreds of lives were endangerad and thousands fled to the streets in fear. The financial loss is comparatively 'small. The determination of the firebug to make complete work is illustrated by the conditions at 235 West Eighteenth street. This is an apartment house occupled by twenty-four families. ‘When one of the tenants was aroused by the odor of burning wood the cor- ridors were filled with stifling smoke. The gas had been turned off at the meter in the cellar and the frantic tenants were forced to feel their way through inky dark rooms and ‘hall- ways. When the firemen reached the house the fire escapes were crowded with half-dressed men, women and children. So closely were they pack- ed on the platforms that it was im- possible for any of them to make their way down the iron ladders. All of them were taken down by .firemen. It was here that the woman, Mrs. Car- hemi, was injured. She fell while try- ing to climb over the fire escape rail- ing and was terribly hurt. RETURNING TO PONCE. President Will Embark for Home at That Port, San Juan, Porto Rico, Nov. 23.— President Roosevelt and his party left San Juan by special train during the morning for Arecibo, forty mfles west of this city, where they will enter au- tomobiles, drive to Ponce and embark for home on board the Louisiana. Governor and Mrs. Winthrop ac- companied the president to Arecibo , and will bid him farwell at Ponce. The ear in which the presidential party traveled was constructed of na- tive wood especially for the Infanta Bulalie when she visited Porto Rico in 1893. Governor and Mrs. Winthrop’s re- ception in honor of President and Mrs. Roosevelt was the greatest social function in the history of Porto Rico. The executive mansion was not large enough to accommodate the guests in- vited, who included a large number of members of the Spanish colony. President Roosevelt, during the course of the evening, was happily sur- prised at meeting E. G. Norton, a for- mer sergeant of the Rough Riders, who, with, his brother, fought by the side of Colonel Roosevelt at the bat- tle of San Juan hill. The president’s return home by way of Ponce was necessary owing to the fact that it was impossible for him to board the Loulsiana outside San Juan harbor. CHANGES SUBJECT OF LECTURE. Senator Tillman Will Not Disc Race Problem at Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 23.—Senator Benja-, min R. Tillman, who is to lecture in ‘ Orchestra hall next Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Chicago Union hospital, will be ‘asked to eschew all mention of the race problem and the . lynching question. This action was decided on in' accordance with: the wishes of Mayor Dunne and promi- nent colored people of Chicago. | Mr. Tillman’s subject will be, “Shall the United States Annex Cuba?” It wag originally intended that the sub- ject should be, “The Race Problem,” Sepator Tillman will be guarded by | police while here. | AVOIDS CALLING AS WITNESSES MEN INDICTED AT MINNEAP- OLIS FOR REBATING. WGHT CLAIM AN IMMUMITY BATH GROUND COVERED BY DEPART- MENT OF JUSTICE NOT EN- CROACHED UPON. Minneapolis, Nov. 23.—Grain firms and railroad men who were recently indicted by the special federal grand Jury in Minneapolis at the instance of the department of justice will get no immunlity bath from the interstate commerce commission, which closed its session here during the day. None of the witnesses before the last jury was called by the commis- slon in the investigation of the rela- tions between the grain trade and the railroads. Inasmuch as the witnesses before the commission were placed under oath by Judge Prouty the pos- sibility was presented of witnesses claiming immunity, as they testified under oath before warrants were serv- ed on them under the federal indict: ments. Commissioner Lane said that none of the witnesses was called and he implied that the commissioners were earefui in mnot encroaching on the ground covered by the department of Jjustice investigation. He said that no allowances from the railroads to the elevators had been uncovered in Min- neapolis, as they had in Milwaukee, where one road had given rebates to a grain firm as late as 1905, if he re- called correctly. The inquiry was part of a general investigation of the relations between the grain trade and the railroads and had nothing to do in Minneapolis with the department of justice work. Because the interstate commerce commissioners in the Minneapolis hearing are seeking information rath- er than evidence they devoted muéh of the time to delving into ancient his- tory and analysis of obsolete condi- tions. This was with a view to trac- ing the connection between former grain trade methods and present meth- ods. The testimony clearly showed that though something of an agree- ment between elevators had existed in years gone by the parties to the agreement had gradually decreased in number until by Jan. 1, 1905, it was entirely abandoned. ORIENTAL LIMITED DERAILED THREE TRAINMEN KILLED AND SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED ON GREAT NORTHERN. Minot, N. D,, Nov. 23.—A. B. Com- fort of Grand Forks, engineer, Peter Morrisset of Minot, deadhead fireman, and Fireman Wright of Devils Lake were killed in a wreck on the Great Northern Oriental limited a mile east of Doyon. Two mail clerks and three passengers were injured, but not fa- tally. The accident was caused by spreading of track. The train was go- ing about forty miles an ‘hour and all cars went off the track, the en- gine, mail and baggage -cars being demolished. SHOOTS TWO TEACHERS. Boy Angered by Their Refusal to Grant Request. Punxsutawney, Pa., Nov. 23.—Be- cause his teacher refused to grant him permiggion to go hunting James Dougherty, Jr., sixteen years old, shot and seriously wounded Professor J. E. Kohler, principal, and Meade Snyder, his assistant. Following the after- noon session of school young Dough- erty ran to his home, secured a shot- gun, and, meeting the teachers on the road from school, demanded that he be given permission to go hunting. The teachers refused again and the boy fired at them. Professor Snyder received part of the charge in his face, body and legs, while Professor Kohler was only slightly injured in the legs. Professor Snyder’s condi- tion is critical. Young Dougherty was arrested. ki IOWA MAN MUST HANG. State Supreme Court Affirms Verdict of Lower Tribunal. ‘Des Moines, Nov. 23.—Louis Busse, the Butler county wife murderer, must hang Dec, 14. The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the lower conrt in an appeal from a verdict denying a writ of habeas corpus for the convicted man. Busse's case was in the supreme court once before on technicalities. He was convicted of | murdering his wife and burning the ; body. The crime was committed sev- | eral years ago.

New York, Nov, 23.—Details of the long looked for dividend to Great Northern Railway company stockhold- ers resulting from the leasing of its ore lands to the United States Steel corporation have been disclosed in & circular issued at the Great Northern offices. For every share of the Grent North- ern stock holders will receive a share of stock of the Lake Superior com- pany, limited, an incorporated compa- ny in whose name the ore lands have been held. The Lake Superior company, how- ever, is to transfer the ore properties to the Messrs. Louis. W. James N. and Walter J. Hill, sons of J. J. Hill, ‘who will act as trustees of the stock for the shareholders of the Great Northern company. “The beneficial interest” will con-| sist of 1,500,000 shares, which equals the amount of Great Northern shares. Thus the distribution will -be on a: share for share basis. The net profits derived from the ore property will be distributed at least once annually by the trustees. Some idea of the value of the dividend which Great Northern stockholders. will receive may be *had from the fact that the United States Steel corpora- tion is to pay the beneficiary 85 cents per ton for all ore mined in the first year, beginning 1907, with an increase of three-fourths of a cent per ton a year for an indefinite period. The ore lands are believed to con- tain not less than 500,000,000 tons of iron. REINTERRED AT PHILADELPHIA. Body of Leading Figure in American Revolution.
