kot GARUSD IS CONVICTED FAMOUS ITALIAN TENOR FOUND GUILTY OF ANNOYING NEW YORK WOMEN. MAGISTRATE IMPOSES FINE OF $I0 PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SEVERELY CRITICISES PRISONER IN SUMMING UP. New York, Nov. 24.—Enrico Caruso, the famous Italian tenor, has been found guilty of annoying women in the Central Park zoological garden. A fine of $10 was imposed. The verdict was rendered by Magistrate Baker in the Yorkville police court after a hear- ing which extended more than three days. Counsel for Caruso, in a clos- ing argument which consumed nearly an hour, declared that Caruso was the victim of a police conspiracy and ap- pealed to the court not to blast a great career upon such flimsy evi- dence as had been produced against the singer. Speaking for the prosecu- tion Deputy Police Commissioner Ma- thot characterized Caruso as a man destitute of moral sense. Mr. Mathot said he was not in court in the interest of the police depart- ment nor to defend Policeman Cain. “I am here,” said Mr. Mathot, “on be- half of women—our wives and daugh- ters, to ask you if these panderers and sexual perverts shall be permitted to use our public highways and the parks for the prosecution of their bestial performances.” Former Judge Dittenhoefer, counsel for Caruso, .when informed of the ver- dict said that an appeal would be taken. The appeal will be heard be- fore the justices of the court of spe- cial sessions probably within a week. Counsels’ Closing Arguments At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Dittenhoefer, in opening his ar- gument for the defense, declared that it was apparent that the case against Caruso was entirely & police made case. The whole case depended upon the word of Hannah Graham, and they had failed to produce her in the court to give that word. Judge Dittenhoef- er said that Caruso was only one of many victims of the Central Park monkey house. “That place is adroit- 1y arranged,” said he. “It might have been designed as a place to blast rep- utations of innocent men. All that is needed is a Cain and a woman to aid him.” Deputy Police Commissioner Mathot, in his argument against Caruso, de- clared that Caruso was a moral per- vert, who should be kept out of de- cent society. Mr. Mathot said that the reason why Hannah Graham had not appeared in court was that she feared to face a crowd. of perverts such as commonly atténded such a hearing and such a crowd as was then present. The spectators in the courtroom hissed Mathot at this re- mark. WANT NEGROES REINSTATED. Chicago Colored People Hold Big Mass Meeting. Chicago, Nov. 24—Two thousand negroes in Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church severely criticised President Roosevelt for discharging the three companies of colored troops involved in the Brownsville (Tex.) riots. In a personal letter to the president and in resolutions addressed to the war department the mass meet- ing urged the rescinding of the action. As an indication .of the depth of their feelings in the matter the spokes- men of the negroes declared that Chi- cago would take one of the compa- nies and support it here until the president comes to see the injustice of hig course. Resolutions were adopted deploring the forthcoming visit of Senator Ben- jamin Tillman to Chicago, but calling upon Chicago negroes to control them- selves during the event. DEPEW ATTENDS BANQUET. New York Senator Appears to Be in Excellent Health, New York, Nov. 24.—Senator Chaun- cey M.

San Juan, P, R., Nov. 24.—President Roosevelt, during his visit to Porto Rico, greatly impressed the inhabit- ants of this island with his personality and notable results may follow his visit. The president’s trip from San Juan to Ponce, by way of Arecibo, was one continued ovation, in spite of the late announcement in the change of his plans, necessitating his return to Ponce in order to embark on the Loulsiana. All the towns through which the pres- ident passed were gaily decorated and crowded with people. He made speech- es at Arecibo, Utuado and Adjuntas. Near Bayamon a rough rider who was with Colonel Roosevelt at San Juan hill met the president’s train and pre- sented him with a box of grape fruit I'from his farm. The president was greatly pleased to meet his old com- rade. While crossing the river from Areci- bo to Utuado the president’s automo- bile stuck in the mud but was pulled out by a team of oxen. While this work was in progress one of the mounted members of the presidential escort was thrown from his horse in- to the river, falling near the presi- dent’s automobile. The president was upon the point of jumping to the man’s assistance when the latter was pulled out of the water. Beaten to Death by Robbers. Chicago, Nov. 24.—The body of Peter Comisford, an expressman, was found in a vacant lot near the inter- section of Thirty-first street and Shields avenue. The man had evi- dently been beaten to death by rob- bers on the street and dragged into the vacant lot, where his body was thrown into a shallow pool of water. STRONG DENIAL BY MAYOR SAN FRANCISCO'S CHIEF EXECU- TIVE SAYS BOODLE STORIES ARE FALSE. New York, Nov, 24 —Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco, who arrived here dur- ing the day on the steamship Patricia, said there was, absolutely no.truth in the charges made against him and that he will go to San Francisco and court the fullest inquiry. ‘When the Patricia arrived at quar- antine Mr. Schmitz was shown news- papers containing reports of charges against him in San Francisco. He said: “There is not a scintilla of truth in the charges. The fact is that it is an’ attack made against me by my political enemies because I made a strong fight against District Attorney Langdon, who was defeated for gov- ernor. His friends are now taking their revenge. It is an odd statement for a big man to make, but it is a fact that my nerves were so affected after the long and trying time we had passed through that I made this trip abroad. 1 had intended to sail for home on Dec. 15, expecting to arrive in San Francisco about New Year’s day. My friends were to give me a big reception and I suppose these peo- ple put this up to prevent it. Hear- ing that they were attacking me I returned six weeks sooner than I ex- pected. I did not know of these char- ges until after the pilot came on board. I shall court the strictest in- quiry and as promptly as possible. I want it. I can only say that I have a clear conscience in this matter and where guilt does not exist I have noth- ing to fear. I shall go to the Waldorf- Astoria for a day and then go directly home.” TURNED DOWN BY COMMITTEE. Resolutions Offered by Bryan at Com- mercial Congress, Kansas City, Nov. 24.—The resolu- tions committee of the Transmissis- sippi commercial congress has voted down the two resolutions submitted to the congress by William J. Bryan. The first of these resolutions favored the indorsement by the congress of the resolution adopted by the Inter- parliamentary union at the London ses- sion in favor of settling of interna- tional questions impartially by a court or commission of investigation before declaration of war or opening of hos- tilities by any country. The second resolution sought to place the congress on record as being opposed to private monopolies and, believing them “indefensible and in- tolerable, favors the enforcement of existing laws and the enactment of such new laws as may be necessary to protect industry from the menace of- fered by the trusts.” The resolutions adopted favor closer relations between all the countries of the Western hemisphere; renew and emphasize approval of and devotion to the Monroe doctrine; favor upbuild- ing of the American merchant ma- rine; urge thorough reorganization of the consular service; favor construe- tion of an intercontinental raflway be- tween North and South America and urge liberal appropriations for fm- provement of rivers and harbors. Population Very Hostile. Paris, Nov, 24—The taking of the church inventories in the mountain- ous regions of France, where an abundance of snow has fallen, is pro- gressing slowly on account of the hos- tility of the population, which com-' pels the troops sent with the state officals to conduct regular military , operations, keep open their lines of eomnnlcaflnn and bring up supplies. FALL RIVER (MASS) COTTON MILL EMPLOYES GET IN- i CREASED WAGES. THREATENED TO QUIT WORK MONDAY INSISTED ON A FULL RESTORA- TION OF THE CUT MADE IN RECENT YEARS. Fall River, Nov. 24.—Fall River's cotton mill employes have won a bat- tle for an increase in wages and on Monday next 30,000 operatives will come under a scale giving them 10 per cent more than the present rate. The granting of the advance by the manufacturers prevented a strike, the workmen having voted to stop work in all mills next Monday if the new schedule was not accepted. M. C. D. Borden, an independent cotton manufacturer employing 5,000 operatives, took the‘lead in meeting the demands of the mill hands by announcing that the scale of wages in his mills would be raised 10 per cent. No demand had been made on him and his action practically forced the other mill managers to grant the increase. The new pay scale affects seventy corporations, operating ninety-two mills, besides the Borden plant. The Manufacturers association’s agree- ment to pay the increase is for a period of six months, but provision is made for extending it. Between November, 1903, and July, 1904, the Fall River operatives suf- fered reductions aggregating 22% per cent. Last spring a part of the cut was restored and in view of the con- tinued prosperous business conditions the operatives demanded a complete resumption of the 1903 scale. PEARY AT CAPE BRETON, Explorer's Steamer Roosevelt Arrives at Sydney. Sydney, C. B., Nov. 24—Flying the flag of the United States, which had been placed nearer the pole than any other national standard, and weather- beaten and disabled, the Peary Arc- tic steamer Roosevelt arrived here during the day under sail and steam after sixteen mouths’ vain effort to reach the pole. Though not entirely successful the expedition neverthe- less got to 87 degrees, 6 minutes north latitude, or within 203 miles of the pole. The Roosevelt came to an anchor off the yacht squadron pier. Though the hour was early the Roosevelt was soon visited by the American consul ‘and various local officials and an in- vitation was extended Commander Peary on behalf of the Sydney board of trade to be the guest of the com- mercial body at a banquet in his honor. A large quantity of mail awaited Commander Peary and he decided at the time not to make fixed arrange- ments regarding 'his present move- ments. Commander Peary came ashore almost immediately after the steamer came to anchor and -joined Mrs, Peary, who has been here for two weeks waiting for her husband’s return. Commander Peary looks in the best of health and spirits and though dis- appointed at the failure-to reach the pole he feels satisfied with the ad- vance actually made. Probably plans for another expedition will soon be commenced. Dr. L. J. Wolff said that the health of the party had been excellent. There was no death and practically no sick- ness.

Elkhart, Ind, Nov. 24—"Govern- ment ownership of the transportation facilities of the country would be in- congruous, impracticable and utterly impossible.” This statement was made by Ed- ward H, Horriman as the Twentieth Century limited sped toward New York. When first asked to give his opinfon regarding government owner- ship Mr. Harriman flatly refused, de- claring: “Oh, I couldn’t talk about that, Why? Because government ownership is not now an imminent question and fn my judgiment it never will become such.” “Do you not think,” was asked, “that the present agitation and the present inquiry iato the ownership and opera- tion of railroads is directing the mind of the public into channels which may ultimately lead to government owner- ship?” “Not at all,” sald Mr. Harriman em- phatically, “On_ the contrary, the present agitation is going to have ex- actly the opposite effect. The more agitation there is, and the greater the discussion on these subjects, the more the people will see the incongruity of government ownership. The questions involved in the transportation prob- lems of this country are being more and more discussed in their broader sense- and significance. This must result in. a better understanding by the people generally of the conditions which surround the transportation business. and the conditions unde- which the railroads are operated. When there is a thorough public un- derstanding of . these conditions the conclusion on the part of the public will be inevitable and will be such as 1 have indicated.” MORMON PRESIDENT FINED HEAD OF CHURCH PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE OF UNLAWFUL COHABITATION, Salt Lake City, Nov. 24—Joseph F. Smith, president of the. Mormon church, appeared in the district court before Judge Ritchie, pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful cohabitation and a fine of $300 was imposed. GERMAN SHIP RESPONSIBLE, Blaméd.: for Collision of Ocean Linera it Off Cherbourg, Che bourg, Nov.' 24,—The prelim- inary, nvestlgatmn made by the cap- tain’ of the port into the cause of the coilision Wednesday night off this port between the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and ‘the British Royal Mail steamer Orinoco, seems to establish the fact that the former vessel should have heeded the Orinoco’s signal that she was going to starboard of the Ger- man ship. The second and third class passen- gers of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse will be forwarded to New York by a special steamer which is now on her way here from Bremen. The Orinoco, with her passengers on board and under her own steam, sailed later for Southampton. The. bodies of her three missing sailors have not yet been recovered. STATEMENT FROM CRAPSEY, Deposed Rector Will'Have Something to Say. New York, Nov. 24, —Rev. Dr. Alger- non 8. Crapsey of Rochester, N. Y., whose suspension for heretical teach- ings has been confirmed by.the Prot. estant Episcopal court of review, is in this city -consulting with Edward M. Shepard, of his counsel. .

Minneapolis, Nov. 24,—The perenni- &1 controversy between the brewers, the engineers, the firemen and the teamsters'occupied the American Fed- eration of Labor during the day. The brewers contend that all men engaged directly or Indirectly about a brewery should belong to their union. The other three organizations contend that the members of their trades now afili’ ated with the brewers should belong to them. Incidental to the main con- filet are a host of local tangles caused by the admission to city and state central bodies representatives of the unions involved in these jurisdictional disputes. This 1s the ninth time this question has come before the federa- tion and except for the delegates of the involved unions little interest was shown. The net result of three hours’ work was to get the four contending unions deeply involved in a seemingly hopeléss tangle and reduce the con- vention to a state of lethargic indif- ference. All hopes of concluding the business of the convention this week have van- ished. There are still thirty-nine res- olutions to be considered by the con- vention, as well as the dlsposmon of new business, the selection of a meet- ing place for the next convention and the election of officers.

SHOCK WAS TERRIFIC DETAILS OF THE COLLISION BE- TWEEN BIG OCEAN LINERS OFF CHERBOURG. MORE THAN A DOZEN LIVES LOST DAMAGE TO KAISER WILHELM DER GROSSE ESTIMATED AT ABOUT $200,000. Cherbourg, France, Nov. 23.—De- tails of the collision between the North German Lloyd steamer Wil- helm der Grosse and the British Royal Mail steamer Orinoco show that it occurred at 9 o'clock Wednesday night. The Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and the Orinoco were both outwardbound from Southampton, via Cherbourg, for New York and West Indian ports, respectively. The shock is described as having been terrific, causing panics among the passengers on board the two vessels, especially among the emigrants. On the Orl- noco three men and a woman were killed, six women and a man were injured and five persens were knocked overboard and drowned. Of the two steamers the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse is said to have sustained the mest damage, but beyond the fact that she has a hole in one side of her the nature of her injuries has not been ascertained. Four of the-crew of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse were killed and twelve injured. The dam- age to the Orinoco was confined to her bows. Both vessels remain in the roadstead here. The damage to the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse is estimated here at $200,- 000. When the collision occurred the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was steam- ing at the rate of seventeen knots an hour from Cherbourg, after having touched here on her voyage out. The Orinoco was bound for this port when the accident happened. Story of Orinoco’s Captain, The commander of the Orinoco claims that he signalled that he was going to starboard of the North Ger- man Lloyd vessel, but that the latter held her course across the Orinoco’s bows and only went to port of the Orinoco when it was too late. The engines of the Orinoco, it is added, were reversed so soon as it appeared likely that an accident would occur, but she crashed into the starboard bow of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, making a breach. twelve feet wide. The stem of the Orinoco above the water line was carried away as the vessels cleared after the collision. The shock threw all the passengers on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse off their feet and the grinding of the Orinoco’s-bow into the steerage of the German vessel instantly killed four persons, disembowelling a girl eleven years old. The captain of the Orinoco ordered boats to be cleared away, but the panic on board of her was general Some of the crew: jumped into and launched two of her boats and several frenzied women attempted to get into them as they were being lowered over the 'side. One boat was swamped when it struck the water. So soon as the accident occurred a number of small boats from Cherbourg put out to the scene of the collision and succeeded in rescuing some of the sailors and passengers. who were struggling in the water, but five of the crew of the Orinoco are believed to have been drowned. WILL ‘ TRANSFER PASSENGERS. Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse Unable to Proceed, Paris, Nov. 23.—At the offices of the North German LIqyd Steamship company here it is stated that as the injuries to the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse by her collision: with the Ori- noco will make it impossible for her to proceed the passengers will be transferred to the American liner St. Paul and the French line steamer La Lorraine, leaving respectively South- ampton and Cherbourg and Havre Nov. 24. According to the reports received at the office of the company here four emigrants on board the Kaiser Wil- helm der Grosse were killed and twelve were injured, two of them seri- ously.
