Washington, Feb. 24.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The question whether the railroad rate law known as “The Hepburn Act” repeals section one of “The Elkins Act” prohibiting rebates by railroads involved, in the case of the Great Northern Railway company versus the United States was decided today by the Supreme Court of the United States against the railroad company and against the contention of such repeal.

R. . held a meeting Saturday afternoon, at which appropriate ex- ercises were given in celebration of Lincoln’s and Washington’s bitth- days. There were about seventy- five presentand the program was highly eujoyed by all. Band Concert.

At recess Godetts was still on the stand. 2 p. m.—After the morning recess Godetts was again placed on the stand and the cross-examination resumed. There were several sharp contests between the attorneys on the part of the defense and those on the part of the state as to what questions could be asked and what could not; with the result that the court was required to make frequent rulings. No amount of cross-examination could shake Godetts in the state- ments he had made. Upon cross- examination he still maintained that his. memory failed him at the time of the inquest and he remembered nothing at that time, as to the statements he had made telling of the killing at the inquest. He was positive and did not acknowledge that he could remember anything of importance that day but admitted that he had sent a telegram for an attorney and was cognizant of what happened afterward. Godetts retold his present story of the killing very vividly, several times showing conclusively that he fired two shots when Williams was down on his hands and knees, and admitted that-the last shot was in the back of the neck. After Godetts had given his testi- mony, the defendant called a num- ber witnesses to the stand all of whom swore that Williams had made threats to them as to his intentions| of killing Godetts. Each admitting that no one else was presentat the time Williams made the threats. None of the witnesses were allowed to tell their story in narra- tive but simply answered direct questions. From the present indications the case will be concluded some time this afternoon or tomorrow. It is possible that Godette may be recalled for further examination. Godetts, during all the time of his examination, seemed somewhat excited but not at all rattled. At three o’clock this afternoon both the defense and the state closed their case,and all that is now left is the argument before the jury and the judge’s charge. Shortly after dinner the state called several witnesses in rebuttal. The witnesses testified to hearing four light shots, followed by heavy shots. This testimony would con- tradict Godetts’ testimony on that Williams fired first. The witnesses were quite sure that the light shots were heard first and the heavy shots later. The witnesses also testified that Williams was left handed, this would have some bearing on the case, es- pecially the surrounding of the honse. Court adjourned immediately after the close of the case and will reconvene this evening at 7 o’clock, when the argument will be given and no doubt the judge will charge the jury tonight. FAVORS NEW PARTY W. R. Hearst Addresses Delegates of Independence League. HIS IDEA WELL RECEIVED Advocates Inauguration of a Party Founded on Fundamental American Principles That Will Be National in the True Sense of the Word. Chicago, Feb. 24—Delegates to the national conference of the Independ- ence league at the Auditorium hotel devoted the early portion of the day to informal discussion. Willlam Ran- dolph Hearst, who arrived from New York, was delayed somewhat on the journey. A delegation greeted him at the depot. & Mr. Hearst delivered a short ad- dress to the conference, declaring tha! the first purpose of the league’s plat- form is “to restore the power of gov- ernment to the people, to make their will supreme in the primaries, in the elections and in the control of publie officials after they have been elected.” He declared against the use of money at elections except for litera- ture, for meetings and for legitimate appeals to the intelligence and patri- otism of the voter. Mr. Hearst as- serted that it had been the task of the league to correct some ofthe evils of high finance and to frame con- structive legislation which will en- courage all legitimate business enter- prises. He said: “l plead for a new national party devoted to the old American ideals. I plead for a permanent party wholly and harmoniously committed to the principles of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. “I define a party as a collection of Individuals devoted to certain definite principles and active in politics to pro- mote the principles and I declare that according to that definition there is no national party in the United States today. “Lel us inaugurate a party that is founded on fundamental American principles, that will be a national party in the true sense of the word, and let us call it the National party if you will.” Mr. Hearst’s address was received with much enthusiasm by the dele gates.

SHERMAN DENIES CHARGE Says Boat Builders Did Not Aid Re- publican Committee. ‘Washington, Feb. ‘24.—Representa- { any other. { will accept what I told him as cor- tive Sherman of New York, chairman of the Republican congressional com- mittee, visited the White House and talked with the president. Mr. Sher- man, with considerable warmth, de- clared as utterly false any allegation that his committee had received from the Llectric Boat company of New Jersey, owners of the Holland sub- marine boat, any contribution for the congressional campaign two years g0, “I do not believe that Representa- tive Lilley made any such statement as this,” said Mr. Sherman, “because he asked me about it before he intro- duced his resolution and I told him that my committee had never received a dollar from this boat company or I am sure that Mr. Lilley rect.” Veteran Washington Editor Dead.

This is the result of a new agreement made by the Northern Pacific with the Burlington. /GUILD FOR SECGND PLACE Gossip Concerning Vice President on Republican Ticket. ‘Washington, Feb. 24.—In the excite- ment over the toming campaign and the selection of a man to head the Republican ticket the vice presidency and its possibilities have heen to a large extent overicoked. The sug- gestion, which comes following his trip to Michigan, that Governor Guild of Massachuseits presents available { timber, is awakening a new interest in the subject, however, and Wash- Ington is giving some thought to the situation. If it be admitted that Secretary Taft is to head the Republican ticket the logical conclusion is inevitable that the party mnst turn to the ex- treme East for the tail of the ticket. The first conclusion is that New York state could name a vice president with unanimous consent, should it so desire. TIf Governor Hughes could be prevailed upon to accept the second {place on the ticket it is probable that the slate would be definitely settled without possibility of further dispute, for the sentiment of the country is unquestionably behind the chief magistrate of the Empire state. It is regarded by many politicians here that if Hughes is not to be the vice presidential nominee it is not an impossible stretch of the imagination to see the possibility beyond the sug- gestion advanced by Governor Warner of Michigan that Governor Curtis Guild of Massachusetts should be cou- pled with Taft on the national ticket. MOXNUMENT OF WHISKY JUGS | Missouri Farmer Leaves Material for Gravestone. Columbia, Mo., Feb. 24.—James W. Turner, a hermit farmer living six miles from here, who had frequently declared he wanted a monument built of whisky jugs, is dead. On his farm is an abandoned corn crib which is almost filled with empty whisky jugs which Turner is said to have emptied himself during twenty years and which he saved for his monument. It is averred he drank not less than a quart of whisky a day for twenty years. He was forty-five years of age and owned a well stocked farm of 480 acres, on which he lived the life of a hermit. His only companion was a dog. WOMAN UNDER ARREST. Accused of Inciting Philadelphia Un- employed to Riot. Philadelphia, Feb. 24.—The demon- stration on Broad street by more than 1,060 unemployed foreigners which ended in a serious clash with the po- lice was followed by numerous ar- rests. Chief among those taken into cus- tody was Miss Voltairine De Cleyre, a professed anarchist, who addressed a meeting of men which preceded their march to the city hall, where they said they intended to ask Mayor Rayburn for work. Miss De Cleyre Wwas given a hearing and remanded in $2,500 bail on a charge of inciting a riot. FLOOD REFUGEES SUFFER Homeless in Indiana in Actual Need of Food. Indianapolis, Feb.- 24.—The real suf- fering from the flood in Southern In- diana has begun and in some cases starvation is mnear. Surrounded by water from one to ten feet deep, with only a limited supply of food and fuel and no boat available, the families of John Stewart, John Roberts and Allen Lyles, four miles from Patoka, were sorely afflicted. The three men waded and swam a distance of three- quarters of a mile, secured a team and drove to Patoka. Here the county of- ficer furnished provisions and medi- cines. Securing a boat they returned home to find their houses flooded. They are now quartered in a shack containing two rooms and sixteen per- sons are under the ome roof. Prior to the departure of the men their families had nothing for their last four meals except bread. It is be- lieved there are many others who are similarly situated. Much sickness is reported. % Attempt to Burn Hotel. Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 24.—An at- tempt was made to burn the Scales hotel of this city while about 100 del- egates to the Democratic convention ‘were asleep in the building. 0il was poured over the floor of two vacant rooms and set on fire, but the flames were extingufshed before any damage was done. Great excitement pre- vailed for a time. x e T OUTBREAK IS FEARED Greatest Precautions Being Ob- served at Lishon. POPULACE VERY UNEASY All the Public Buildings, Including the Bank of Portugal, at Present Occupied by Heavy Detachments of the Municipal Guard. Lisbon, Feb. 24.—The greatest pre- cautions are being observed in Lisbon to insure the maintenance of order. It i3 evident that the government fears an cutbreak of some kind, but up to the present time no disturb- ances have bLeen reported. The sol- dlers are being kept in their bar- racks. The Duke of Oporto, accom- panied by a strong escort, makes fre- quent inspections of the various gar- rison posts. All the public buildings, including the Bank of Portugal, are occupied by heavy detachments of the municipal guard. The commerce of Lisbon reflects the secret uneasi- ness of the people and is quite life- less. El 'Seculo says that King Manuel, Premier Ferreira, the civil governor of Lisbon and General Lopez, com- mander of the municipal garrison, had a long conference regarding the situation. This paper expresses the opinion that everything indicates that the government is in fear of armed revolutionary outbreaks. The political situation in which the government finds itself today is extremely critical and there is much uneasiness as to the outcome. The government is fairly caught between two fires, the renewal of the popular agitation for increased liberties an one hand and the reactionary con- spiracy on the other, and it seems to be trying to fight both at the same time. A prominent politiclan who was involved with the reactionaries has been sent out of the country to the Azores. The government is con- sidering a plan which includes the postponement of the general elections fixed for April 5 and in their stead to summon the parliament that was dis- solved last year. ‘The situation at. Setubal is reported to be critical and the gunboat Zaire has been dispatched to that port. WIND 0; HURRICANE FORCE 8Some Loss of Life in North of Eng- land and Ireland. London, Feb. 24.—The northwest of England and the north of Ireland were swept suddenly by a wind of hurricane force, accompanied. by blind- ing storms of hail, which left death and destruction in its wake. In the Mersey river a schooner was capsized and eight men were drowned. eral small steamers are reported in distress off Holyhead, while many small craft have been driven ashore. No less than one dozen grandstands in the designated areas have been blown down, with resultant injury at several provincial points to the people who had gathered to witness local football matches. A train running between Burton- port and Donegal was blown off the rails by the wind while crossing a viaduct and nearly crashed into a boat beneath. The passengers were res- cued uninjured. The launching at Belfast of the 25,000-ton steamer Rotterdam, for the New York service of the Holland- Amcrika line, had to be postponed on account of the gale. SHOULD NOT BE ADMITTED New York the Dumping Ground for European Criminals. New York, I'eb. 24.—That New York is a dumping ground for the crim- inals of Europe and that the immigra- tion authorities are to blame for this fact is the opinion of Police Commis- sloner Bingham, expressed in an in- terview. “We have had records of fifty Ital- jan criminals,” said Commissioner Bingham, “which would exclude them from this country, or once hére should bring about’their deportation. Out of these fifty only six have been deport- ed, notwithstanding the fact that the police have been ready to furnish the immigration department at all times with information to keep out and send out of the country these habitual criminals.” Stole Everything but a Bird. St. Louis, Feb. 24—While Mrs. Jen- nie Grifis was down town shopping four energetic burglars drove an un- lettered moving van up to her home at 2206 Cherokee street and looted the house of everything except the canary bird. Even two stoves, with fire in them, were taken. Neighbors saw the four men industriously at work, but they supposed Mrs. Grifis was mov- ing out of the house and paid no at- tention to the matter. Children Witness Double Tragedy. Hotchkiss, Colo., Feb. 24.—Insane with rage because she objected to him scolding one of their children M. U. Stoneburner, aged forty-one, a prominent and wealthy farmer living near this city, shot and fatally wound- ed his wife and then placed the smok- Ing revolver against his own heart and committed suicide before his six little children seated around the sup- per table. WERE DOOMED TO DEATH Men Saved From Drowning Killed by Railroad Train. Pittsburg, ~ Feb. 24—Saved from drowning after a struggle in the icy waters of the Monongahela river at Elizabeth, .Pa., near here, only to be run down and killed by a train on reaching shore was the fate of J. W. Draper and F. B. Garret, two govern- ment employes at lock No. 3. C. B Stoner, a companion, who saved the men from the water, was also hit by ‘the _train and probably fatally fn- Jured. "The men had quit work for the day when Draper slipped from the lock into the river. Garret plunged into the river after him, knowing Draper was unable to swim. Even- tually Stoner rescued both men by the aid of a boathook. Then all three started to walk aleng the Pittsburg, Virginla and Charleston railroad tracks to Elizabeth to get dry clothes. The approach of a fast train was not noticed and the men were hurled high into the air. The bodies of Draper and Garret were mutilated, while Btoner’s shoulder blade was broken and his head badly cut. FOUND DEAD IN BED. New York Society Woman Is Asphyx- iated by Gas. New York, Feb. 24.—Mrs. William Proudfit Burden, who was Natica Rives, daughter of O. H. P. Belmont and a society favorite in New York, Newport and Washington, was found dead in bed at her Fifth avenue home. Death, the coroner decided, was acci- dental and due to gas poisoning. A disconnected gas tube, which had led from a chandelier to a droplight, so Sev-| placed that Mrs. Burden might read while propped up in bed, had permit- ted a flow of gas that filled the room and, escaping into the hall, finally at- tracted the attention of the servants, Southern Roads Ask Conference.

CANNOT APPLY TO JAPS. British Columbia Natal Act dated by Courts. Vancouver, B. C., Feb. 24.—Chief Justice Hunter of the supreme court of British Columbia has ruled the Natal act to be inoperative so far as the subjects of Japan are concerned, though he did not hold that the act is inoperative as a whole. It was held to be in contravention of the treaty with Japan. The matter came up in connection with an application of a writ of hab2as corpus, applied for in behalf of two Japanese arrested at Blaine, Wash., while trying to enter British Columbia. The chief justice ordered the release of the two men held and also suggested, that they have a right of action against some- one whor he did not name for their detention.

Waterloo, Ia., Feb. 24—Wrapped about with 1,000 feet of blazing, sput- tering celluloid film, Harry Andrews, operator at a moving picture theater here, rushed into the street after a vain attempt to stamp out the flames and avert a panic.

EVIDENCE FIXED UP FOR HIM Declares Vital Part of His Testimony Was Prepared by High Official of Chicago Police Force and an Assist- ant State's Attorney. Jerry M. Vrzal, whose testimony to convict the Bohemian fortune tel- ler, Herman Billek, of the murder of six members of the Vrzal family, has, it is announced, recanted and in an afidavit declares that the testimony was simple perjury. Billek is under sentence to be hanged March 20, the supreme court Thursday afiirming the judgment de- stroying .the man’s ldst chance unless Governor Deneen shall issue a pardon. Not only does the Vrzal boy impugn his own evidence, but he declares two of his relatives also lied. In the affidavit the boy states that all the vital part of the testimony he gave against Billek at the trial was perjury that was taught him by a high police officlal and an assistant state’s attorney. He specifically names the men whom he accuses. He further asserts that the inspector of police summoned him at least fifty times and that these conferences usually lasted two hours. The confession was obtained through the instrumentality of Rev. P. J. O’Callaghan, head of the Paulist Fathers in this city and pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic church, who has been working in Billek's behalf for several Explains Connection With Case. Father O'Callaghan, in explaining his connection with the case, says: “The beginning of my interest dates {from last spring. In one of my fre- quent visits to the county jail I met Bister Rose, who asked me to interest myself in a prisoner named Billek. She said that he was there on the charge of murder, but she knew he was an innocent man. I said I had 50 many calls upon my time and sym- pathy that I did not feel I could do anything for the man. At any rate, I said, he was a fortune teller and charlatan. She answered: ‘But he should not hang for being such.’ ~ “l told her I thought the judge and jury would do him justice. To my astonishment he was eonvicted and I felt that I had neglected the cause of an innocent man. Behind all the acci- deuntals of this case were the prayers {of a devoted nun who first assured me of Billek’s innocence and the prayers of the sisters who are called the Poor Clares.” Sister Rose of Columbus hospital, an institution of the Italian Order of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, is the nun referred to. It was she who converted the car barn ban- dit, Gustav Marx, who was executed with Niedermeyer and Van Dyne, the only one of the celebrated trio that died a Christian. NO PROTEST CONTEMPLATED State Department Again Denies Re- ports Concerning Manchuria. ‘Washington, Feb. 24.—It is stated with positiveness at the state depart- ment that no official reports or pro- test from any source have been re- ceived regarding Japan’s commercial aggressiveness in Manchuria and from the nature of the situation none is expected. "It also is asserted that the American government has no in tention of addressing either Japan or any of the other powers on the sub. Ject either at this time or when the battleship fleet reaches its destina: tion. In this connection it is explained that the “open door” policy in the | Orient, while initiated by this govern- ment, is rather .the announcement of a principle to guide our own course rather than a doctrine to be arbitrar- ily applied and enforced in the Ori ent.
