Grand Rapids, Oct 7.—(Special to Pioneer.)—William B. Perrington, William Anderson and Charles Wright were arraigned Monday | afternoon on’ charges of having moose meat in their possession. Perrington pleaded not guilty but later withdrew -his first plea and entered one of guilty. He was given a severe fine, which, with the costs, amounted to $78.70. The State Game & Fish Commission hoids another charge against him which will be prosecuted unless Perring-|{ ton returns the head which he has hid somewhere in the woods. It'is reported that the head is an ex- cellent specimen of the antlered king. Anderson and wright pleaded not guilty. A jury was selected for Anderson and the evidence presented after which the jury retired, stav»' ing out only one hour and return- ing a verdict of guilty. Anderson was fined $50 and costs, amounting to $75. Wright’s case was continued until the 16th inst, owing to the fact that the district court opens here this morning. Perrington killed the moose last Friday during the absence of Game Warden Jesse Harry and evidently thought that-he would dispose of the meat during his absence.

Dr. Livingston Farrand of New York, executive “secretary of the Natignal Assoclatiofi for the Prevention of ®u- berculosis, has asked Superintendent Charles Deacon to present the model tent of the printers’ exhibit to his as- sociation, so that it may be added to the traveling exhibit shown by the national association in the various cit- jes of the country in connection with {llustrated lectures designed to edu- cate the people to the necessity of en- gaging in a crusade against tuberculo- sis.

The International Typographical un- ion has been engaged in the work of caring for its invalid, sick and aged members for many years. For the past ten years especial attention has been given to the treatment of pa- ients afflicted with tuberculosis. The tent treatment has proved the most valuable.

Now let him reply.” Judge Parker referred to his attack on the president made in his speech here when he accused the president of having been tied up with E. H. Harri- man and Standard Oil interests in the campaign of 1904, when he (Parker) was the Democratic candidate fos president. “What I had to say about the pres- ident I said in my speech,” he de- clared, “and I do not know that I care to add to it just now.

Taft arrived here shortly after noon to finish up his campaigning in Missouri.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 6.—In an inter view given out by William J. Bryar he denies, as has been alleged, that he ever made a speech or wrote ar editorial against the granting of pen. sions to soldiers.

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 6.—After de- nouncing the leaders of the strike roundly at a mass meeting here, J. H. McVety and Bell Hardy coming in for a scoring, the Canadian Pacific rail- road mechénics on strike accepted the terms of surrender offered by the rail- road, which is a complete victory for the company. CASTRO SAID TO “BESERIOUSLY ILL Holland- Has Official News to That Effect. PROMISE MORAL SUPPORT European Powers Approached by The Netherlands With a Suggestion of Combined Action Against Venezu- ela, but Not One Is Willing Actively to Participate in a Blockade—Eco- nomic Reprisals Now Probable. The Hague, Oct. 7.—The Nether- lands government has been notified by the governor of Curacao that the sec- ond Netherlands note had been pre- ezuelan minister of foreign affairs. The governor adds that he has re- ceived official advices from €aracas, dated Sept. 26, to the effect that Pres- ident Castro was seriously ill and thiit the administration of Venezuela prob- ably would have tc be handed over again to Vicente Gomesz, vice presi- dent of the republic. The council of ministers has the new situation thus created under con- sideration. It seams that The Nether- lands recently approached the Kuro- pean powers and suggested combined action agalnst Venezuela, but althcugh { they all consented to give their moral | support not one of them was willing actively to participate in a blockade. The Netherlands hesitated to under- toke single handed a blockade of the Venezuelan coast in view of the fact that a similar action by Great Britain, Germany and lialy in combination practically failed of result. Official opinlon seems inclined rather to eco- nomic reprisals, such as annulling the cao into Venezuela. This would allow the Venezuelan revolutionaries to ob- tain weapons. If The Netherlands shut its eyes to the activities of the revolutionists in Curacao this island ‘would become the certer of President Castro’s enemies.
