CHIEF STEWARD TAKEN FROM AMERICAN SHIP Carolina Officers and Pas sengers Tell of Hold Up By French Cruiser. New York, Dec. 13.—Officers and rassengers of the American steamship Carolina that arrived here today from Porto Rico brought first hand de- tails of the stopping of that ship and the removal of her chief steward, Karl Schaade, by the French cruiser Descartes on December 5. The Carolina, according to Captain J. O. Foss, was hailed by the Descartes Jjust after she had passed out of the three mile limit, a blank shot being fired by the cruiser to call attention to the signal to stop. A life boat with six men and a lieu- terant from the cruiser came along- side and the ship was detained for about two hours. Several of the pas- sengers, among them Charles T. Pfaltz, an electrical goods impofer of this city, were questioned by the officer, .but only the steward, Schaade, was taken. Mr. Pfaltz says he believes, judging by the actions of the French officers who came aboard, that he was the man they cought, although he is an American citizen, having been natural- ized for about twenty years. “I was asked for as soon as the French lieutenant came on the Caro- iina,” Mr. Pfaltz said. “I showed him my passport, and he told me that as it did not show the date of my naturalization, he would have to go back to the cruiser for further in- structions from-the commander. He was gone for about twenty minutes; then I was told that it was all right, but that only my age, fifty years, saved me from being taken off. “Why they were after me I do not know. With my wife I went to Porto Rico two weeks ago on business. I did call on the German consul at Ponce, an old friend of mine, but I also visited the French consul at San Juan. . CHIDES GOVERNMENT ON NEW HAVEN CASE Judge Hunt Raps Length of Time Prosccution is Taking in Develop- ing Evidence. New York, Dec. 13.—Questions of competition, and rates occupied the re-direct examination of Charles 8. Mellen -by government counsel at the resumption today of the trial of Wm. Rockefeller and his ten co-defendants, former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, charged with criminal violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. R. L. Batts, the federal attorney, wanted to know if rates on the road, prior to when the witness retired as president, had not been advanced. To this the defense objected, pleading that railroad rates were now governed by the interstate commerce, not by competition. 5 Mr. Batts contended that the de- fense had cited advantages which the New Haven had conferred on the industry of New England and that he wanted to show that “Results in New England have not kept pace with development elsewhere in tne United States.” The question was admitted and the witness said that a number of through rates had been advanced, but that the 1« general average was lower. On the question of competition be- tween the New Haven and the Bo: ton and Maine, the witness would not concede that any substantial compe- tition existed when the New Haven acquired the road. Judge Hunt took occasion today to chide the government for the length of time it was taking in developing its case. “Tt seems to me,” he said, “‘that the larger portions of this case have been sufficiently developed. We must get | through.” TILLMAN TAKES SHOT AT BRYAN AND T.R. Chairman of Naval Committee Ad- dresses Senate on National Defense URGES ARMOR PLANT BILL Assails What He Characterizes Greed of Private Manufacturers of War Materials and Upholds Daniels’ Ad- ministration of Navy. Washington, Dec. 13.—Declaring Willlam J. Bryan as simply ob- sessed,” and heodore Roosevelt as “The Giant in Mother Goose,” Chair- man Tillman of the naval committee, addressed the senate today on nation- al defense and assailed what he char- acterized as the greed of private man- ufacturers of war materials. Senator Tillman upheld Secretary Daniels administration of the navy de- partment and charadcterized as ‘‘sim- ply outrageous” critics of the depart- ment, numbering among them for- mer Secretary Meyer. Unthinkable of Adoption. “The question of preparedness re- quired grave consideration and ' prompt action,” said Senator Tillman- “There are all sorts of opinions and advice from all quarters—good, bad and not only unwise, but unthinkable of adoption except by wild men from Borneo. “Mr, Bryan, the evangelist of peace at any price. is bitterly opposed tio any and all increase. He seems to te cimply obsessesd on this subject and' has lost usual pcise.

He reminds one of the giunt in Mother Goose. *7e, fi, fo, fum, “ ‘I smell the blood of a German man; ‘“ ‘Be he alive, or be he dead, | * ‘I'll grind his bones to make my bread.” " Navy Comes First. The senator said he realized the necessity for a greater army, but that the navy, “Our first line of defense,” should come first. “The country ought to regard as a public enemy any senator or member of congress who tries to delay or thwart this purpose,” Senator Tillman declared. ‘“We have an armor trust now,” said he, ‘“just as we have had all along and it is doing business at the same old stand—Bethlehem, Car- negie, Midvale. Active and Outrageous. “The critics of the navy department under Secretary Daniels have been un- usually active and outrageous in their work, not hesitating to even make false statements,” said the senator. “The one man particularly active in this criticism has been his immediate predecessor, Mr. Meyer, seems to be unconscious of the fact that in indict- ing the navy, as he has under Secre- tary Daniels, he, in truth, is indicting himself and his republican predeces- sors in the navy department. The con- gress has appropriated enough money, but it has been squandered, misap- propriated or spent unwisely. Poor old Massachusetts! How unfortunate in giving birth to such a man as he! I feel sorry that she should be held up to scorn—if such a little and mean man can hold her up to scorn—by the actions of Mr. Von L. Meyer.” Armor Plant Bill. Concluding, Senator Tillman made a plea for promptaction on his armor plant bill. “Nothing but braxemeflron(ery and unbridged greed aided by official cor- ruption in Washington, can delay the passage of this bill, and I hope that it will become law inside of thirty days,” he said. TODAY’S HEAVY STORM. Lovers of White Christmas Get Some- thing to Cause Encouragement. Lovers of a “White Christmas” had their feelings greatly encouraged to- day, when the first real storm of the season made its appearance. The “beautiful little white flakes” began falling early in the mvurning and by noon the green spread which covered Mother Earth yesterday was envel- oped in a blanket of crystal white. But shortly after 12 o'clock it be- gan to fall in heavy quantities and continued to do so during the after- noon. Snow shovelers began to make their appearance cerly in the day, but when the storm grew steadily in pro- portions, they discontinued their tasks, to await the abatement of the storm. Trolley traffic was impeded snow plows were kept busy. and ORDERS AMERICAN SHIP SOLD. ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—State depart- ment officials considered it doubtful if further action would be taken at pres- ent in the case of the American sail- ing ship Pass of Balmaha, ordered sold by a German prize court.

BOARD OF PARDONS HEARS APPLICATIONS Gov. Holcomb Attends Mecting at State Prison—Life Termers Ap- peal for Freedom. Hartford, Dec. 18.—(iov. Holcomb sat with the board of pardons at the state prison today and the bhoard heard numerous applications. The most important perhaps was that of Joseph Cenesky, thirty-one ycars old, of Waterbury, under life sentence for complicity in the murder of one Lock- wood, a farmer, in Middlebury. The Rev. Oliver Magnell, one of the prison chaplains, informed the board that Cenesky had told him that he had no part in the Killing; that there was a plan to rob Lockwood and when Leon- ard and Bassett, the others involved, went into the house Cenesky was left outside. There was an altercation and Lockwood was beaten with a club. Cenesky also told the board the details of the crime. State’s Attorney Kellogg of Waterbury said IFather Magnell’s story was correct and Cenesky did not see the struggle within the house. A ‘Waterbury druggist said he would em- ploy Cenesky in his store if the man was released. ‘William McLaughlin, a life prisoner, told ‘the board he knew nothing of the murder of one Downs in Watertown until told of it afterward. State’'s Attorney Warner told the board that McLaughlin had been on a debauch and got into a row with Downs, the latter knocking him down. McLaugh- lin stabbed Downs with a pocket knife. The Rev. Joseph Curran of Wilkes- bare, Pa., ‘“The miner’s friend,” spoke for Thomas Mooney, a life prisoner who killed a2 man in Waterbury in a brawl. NCREASES GRANTED IN LIVESTOCK RATES| I C. C. Disapproves Changes in Charges on Packing House Products. ‘Washington, Dec. 13.—General re- adjustment of livestock rates north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi was author- ized tod by the interstate commerce Many increases commission. authorized. Increases allowed included those on livestock, except horses and mules, eastward from points west of Pitts- burg and Buffalo, advances on cattle to points east of Pittsburg and Buf- falo and in New England, and fresh meats from the middle west to the east and New England. The commission’s decision says it is impossible to estimate the additional revenues to the roads, but it is ex- pected to be several thousand dollars a year. Proposals to make other changes in rates on packing house products were disapproved, and the “commission pointed out that the conclusions it may reach in its investigation of rates on livestock, fresh meats and packing house products west of the Mississippi river now under way may have a re- lationship on the rates involved in this eastern case and that they may here- after require another readjustment. “It should be stated,” the report concludes, ‘‘that such changes in the relationships between rates on live- stock and on the products thereof as will result from the increased «n*e | here found to be justified are not to be understood as expressing the final judgment of the commission, upon the propriety of such relationship.” EX- SENATOR FRANCIS M.

The resolution was drawn up by the Rev. the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and Charles F. Aked and others who asked that it be signed by all the members of the party as their plat- form.
