MAJOR SHELLY ACTS | INDEPENDENTLY | ace Denplte Ihr‘ to Com- SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 23, partisan excitement was caused here yes- terday by alleged attempt of the ro- publican party to exclude members of the national party from the registration places. It 18 asserted that hundreds of voters were refused registration certificates on various pretexts and that the registration boards gave preference to republicaus over Ja- tionalists, who were ahead of them in ‘he Hne. The principal cause of protest rises from the qualification requiring & voter to be able to read and write, tho tests belug made without regard to age. Many fairly educated applicants were refused certifi- cates because they had misspelled certain ‘words. Ten men th one precinct declare that they were refused the privilege of register- Ing today because they were unable to present birth certificates showing their ages, although there ¢ould be no question that they wero old enough. General Whitsides bas given orders to the commander of the Rural guards to visit the registration offices and to investigate these charges. The éity authorities ob- joct to this, declaring’ that it amounts to military interference and they protest vig- orously. Major Shelly ores Guard At one registration office this' morning the police refused to admit Major Shelly, commander of the Rural guards, but he was acting under General Whitsides' orders he disregarded the police, entered the office and received the complaints of the minority members of the board. The other members left the office, but returned later. The republican press bitterly at- tacks the action of the military governor, rting that it Is an interference and that the military are in alliance with the nationalists. The Cubano Libre, the principal organ of the nationalists, alleges flagrant unfairness on the part of the municipal* government and on the part of the republicans. Late this afternoon the leaders on both sldes conferred with General Whitsides and he sured them of his absolute impartiality, ting that they should display equal falrne: * The June election is regarded as very im- portant because of Its probablé influence on the election of de tes to the counstl- tutional convention.

DEMAND BETTER CONDITIONS 1Minoia Central Machinints Will Ask for Nine-| ur Day and Craft Rights, CHIEAGO, April the agrecment with the Canadian Pacific railroad will form the basis of tho demands which the International Assoclation of Ma- chinists will make upon the Illinois Cen- tral rallway officials. This much was de: cided upon today at the conference Ilinofs Contral machinists in this clty. had been the intention to present the mands today, but the formation of document was delayed so that it will bo ready before tomorrow. Second President Harahan says he will re committee of machinists if the members are lllinols Central employes. On this point a clash is expected, since it is inti- mated the members of the committee will stand, not us employes, but as members of the International assoclatiog. Thereupon, it is believed, Mr. Harahan will refuse to treat with them. The assoclution asks that the company agree to a nine-hour day amd urge that they be paid an increaso of about 10 per cent in wages, with extra pay for over- time and an allowance for time lost while out with wrecking crews. They ask that the term of apprentices shall be four years, that apprentices be employed between the ages of 16 and 16 years and that cach ap- prentice be taught all branches of the trade Instead of a speclalty, In addition they demand arbitration and transportation and leave of absence for all members of griovance committees. Cratt rights will also be insisted upon; that s, any machin- Ist shall be permitted to call the foreman's attention to an infringement of craft rules. “Wo demand that the standard of the Tllinols Central machinist shall be raised to the level of that on other roads,” said D. W. Roderick, business agent of the Chi- cago district lodge of the International As- soclation of Machinists. “I do not think there will be a strike. I think the company will yleld, for our demands are mot un- reasonable. We have won every fight we have made. Our statement of demands will be presented to the company at onc “L am sure there will be no strike,” sald Mr. Harahan of the Illinois Central, “This company has fewer strikes than any other, perhaps, because we are always ready to Vice eive the May Build 10 Mexico.

SAM STRONG'S TRIAL BEGINS Judge mer of Denver Will Hear Again Detalls of Victor Mine Explosion. DENVER, April 23.—Trial of the suit against Sam Strong, the millionaire mine owner, for $300,000 damages In consequence of the blowing up the shaft house on the Strong mine at Victor, Colo., began here today, before Judge Palmer in the district court, The sult is brought by Willlam Len- nox, Edward W. Giddings and E. A. Col- burn of Colorado Springs, all well known capitalists; N, B. Scoft of Wheellng, W. V., and Mrs. Dell Kearney of New Mexico. They hold a bond and lease on the Strong mine, and were operating the property, hav- ng put upon it an expensive equipment, On May 25, 1894, an explosion occurred in the mine, followed by fire, which destroyed the workings, the shafthouse and machinery. Strong's responsibility |s based upon the allegation by the plaintiffs that the mine was blown up at his instigation. They claim that Strong was dissatisfled wjth the lease and desired to obstruct the lessees in their operation of the rich property. At the timé of the explosion the miners in*the Cripple Creek district were on a strike, Two strikers, Nicholas Tully and Robert Lyons, were accused of having caused the explosion, and were found guilty and have served sentences for the crime. John E. Allen, a miner, has made a depo- sitlon, on which the present suit is base to the effect that Strong paid him $1,000 to blow up the mine.

Wolfson, Convicted of Em- besslement, Secures Executive Clemency While in Army. WASHINGTON, April 23.—The president today pardoned Joseph N. Wolfson, who was convicted In 1896 in the United States dis- trict court of Loulslana of being in collu- sion with the bookkeeper of the Union Na- tional bank of New Orleans in the embezzle- ment of $640,000 6f the fuads of the bank and who was sentenced to elght years im- prisonment. The case is in many respects a remark- able one and has attracted considerable at- tention. Woltson was a prominent lawyer in New Orleans before the faflure of the bank In 1896 and had been a depositor in the Institution for many years prior to that time. Of the missing funds he was charged with having obtained $19,000. The long legal battle which today ended in Wolfson's pardon then began. Wolfson had the aid of powerful and influential friends. The case was appealed to the eireuit court of appeal which atirmed the decision of the lower court, and was then carried to the supreme court. Meantime, Wolfson continued the practi-e of his profession in New Orleans till the breaking out of the Spanish-American war. Being then under sentence with his case still pending in the supreme court, he en- listed In the volunteer army with the con- sent of the attorney general and the secr:- 'y of war and served until February, 159 when he was mustered out. He then cu- listed in the regulars and went to the Phil- Ippines, where he served until October, 1900 when he was invalided home. In January of the present year the supreme court re fused the writ of certiorari and Wolfson rn- plted for executive clemency. He still has about one year to serve in the regular aruy before his term of service expires. He ox- pects to return to the Philippines immedi- ately and rejoin his regiment.

When a woman Is brought to the edge of the grave by polsoning from the drinking of ordinary coffee day by day, and s then made a well woman by léaving it off, her experleice Is worth something to others that are polsoned in various ways from the same habit. Mrs, Jeannette B. Brown, 100 Minor St., New Haven, Conn., says: “Four years ago my lite hung on a very lender thread with ltver, kidney and heart trouble, and a very severe form of rheumatism. I was con- fined to bed with hands, wrists, feet and ankles so badly swollen that they bore no resemblance to parts of the human body. 1 had frequent sinking spells from heart weakness when I was thought to be dying and sometimes thought to be dead. My doctor, one of the directors of the State Hospital, & very successful man in his pro- fossion, told me to stop drinking coffee and use Postum Food Coffee, as he said coffee was the primary cause of my trouble, “I took his advice at once and discontin- ued medicines.

Cudahy jr., began in the criminal branch of the district court yesterday morn- in. Callaban Is being tried on the last complaint filed by the county attornoy, which charges that he put Edward A Cudahy In fear and forcibly stole and car- ried away from him the sum of $25,000 in &old, censtituting the crime of robbery. The work of securlng a jury was not as dificult as had been anticipated, it being necessary to examine only (hirty of the 150 men drawn on the special panel fn order to get twelve satisfactory jurors for the trial of the case. While all of the talesmen examined were found to be fa- millar with the kidnaping story, very few of them had formed any opinion as to Cal- Iahan's connection with the case. Jury Sworn The Jury was completed and sworn a few minutes before 5 o'clock, and it would have heen empaneled much sooner !f Clerk Broad- well had not drawn the nume of James P. Daly out of the box just after the prose- cution had exbausted its peremptory chal- lenges: Young Daly was unable to give the county attorney a satlsfactory, account of his employment during the past few years his answers to questions not being consist- ent. The fact that the juror could not tell Just when he kad been employed in the various positions he mentioned, was only the first Indication of his unfitness to serve on the case. It appeared a littls further on In his examination. that he lived near the Callahan home and knew all the Callahan family except James. After ques- tioning Daly for more than an hour County Attorney Shields submitted a challenge for cause, “Have you any special desire to serve on this jury?" sharply asked Judge Baker of your honor, 1 don't replied the talesman. “'Have you met any of the Callahan family receéntly?" “1 see Callaban’s brother John. day." “*How long have you known John?" ‘Ever since we were both little boys.” “You've grown up with him—that is, in the same neighborhood?" “Yes." “And you've never met his brother Jim?" “No.” “You're excused,” disgust. Proceedings of Forenoon, When Judge Baker opened court at 10:20 o'clock the room was crowded, but most of the people present were witnesses and Jurors who had been summoned for the case. There were very few spectators outside of those whose duty required their presence in court, it being evident that public inter- est In the case had subsided. Callahan was brought Into court by Deputy Sheriff Flynn and he chatted pleas- antly with his attorneys and the newspaper reporters until the opening of the sessfon. He was dressed in a neat black suit and had apparently just had a tew satisfactory minutes with the jail barber. He was in the best of humor and expressed pleasure over the fact that the trial was at hand. “I am anxfous to get out of jail,” he sald, “and that is why I'm glad the trial has been reached. If they convict me of this crime I'll be the most surprised man in the country. I cani¢ possibly anticipate any- thing but a verdict of not guilty—because 1 had no more to do with that kidnaping than the judge had."” Attorneys Express Confidence. J. M. Macfarland and Charles W. Haller appeared as attorneys for Callaban and thay both expressed themselves as being confi- dent that the state could not make out a case against their client. They will set up an alibl for the defense and expect to maie it complete. County Attorney Shields Is prosecuting the case with the assistance of General Jobn C. Cowin, the private counsel of %d- ward A. Cudahy. They expect to identity Callahan as the man who remained as guard over Eddie Cudaby in the Melrose - Hill prison house and they will endeavor to show that he participated in other acts con- nected with the abduction. The first day of the trial was'given up entirely to the examination of jurors for qualification. Sherift Power had served personal summons on all but two of the 150 jurors drawn on the special panel for the case, and there was no lack of material from which to select the twelve men who are to pass upon the guilt or imnocence of James Cullahan. The first twelve men called fnto the jury box were Timothy Carr, Michuel Lisee, Thowas W, Shillington, C. A. Howard, Walter B, Fuller, W. E. Moore, John Martenson, C. E. Nelson, John H. Erck, Jonas Waugberg, P. J. McGoldrick and C. E. Forbes, Doubts the Newspapers. Timothy Carr said he had formed no opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Cal- lahan. He had read a great deal about the case, ‘but that had not influenced him, be- cause he “‘never belleved anything. in the newspapers.” He is a resident of South Omaha and worked for the Cudahy Pack- ing company at one time. Michael Lisee was another juror from South Omaha and he bad also worked for the Cudahy company. He had heard u great deal about the Kidnaping, but had never talked about it himself and had tormed no opinion in the case. Thomas W. Bhillington, a mall carrier living at 3021 North Twenty-first street, declared that he belleved Callahan to be innocent and no circumstantial evidence could be strong enough to remove that opinion from his mind, C. A. Howard, a pulnter, of 2231 Sherman avenue, thought he had formed an opinion, but was not quite sure of It. “Its hard to read a newspaper,” suld he “without get- ting some kind of an opinion in your mind of the kidnaping case.” Walter B Fuller of 2710 Parker street said ho was a real estate agent, had dis, oussed the kidnaping case with his friends and nelghbors, but bad never expressed an opinion as to who committed the crime. W. B. Moore of 519 South Twenty-fifth avenue was sure that he could act on ‘be jury without blas or prejudice. He had Tead all about the case, but had no fdea as to the guilt or Innocence of Callahan. | Allof the cther twelve men called at Oist, know that 1 every roared the judge In With the exception of I clared that they had forme to Callahan’s connection with the Goldrick had visited the jail and talked to Callaban about the case After the jury was sworn in Judge Baker announced that it had been decided to keep the jurors together during the trial.
