Admits That the Corporation Aimed to Shut Off All Competition, NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—John S. Ken- nedy, a director of the Northern Securi- ties Company, gave testimony at the | hearing of the case of Minnesota against| | the company to-day. During the recess, | after Kennedy had testified, Magnus D. | Munn, counsel for the State of Minne- sota, said: “Kennedy practically admitted that the Northern Securities Company was organized for the express purpose of combining the parallel railroads to pre- | vent competition. That is all we charge the company with and that is what he | laws of Minnesota say is illegal.” Kennedy began his testimony to-day by | saying he presumed he and J. J. Hill spoke of the Northern Securities Com- pany in a talk they had when Hill re- turned from Europe in June, 1901. “You decided to turn all of your inter- ests to the holding company?’ asked Munn. “Something was said (o that effect at a meeting that was held.” Kennedy said he and most of the other | stockholders gave their proxies to Hill. “Was not it understood that the holding | company was to get enough stock of each | of the railway companies to make sure that there would never be any combina- | tion against the Great Northern?” asked Munn. “That’'s what I understood.” “Did vou understand that the stock- | holders of the holding company would ob- | tain enough to control the policies of both | companies?” asked Munn. i “I understood,” Kennedy replied, “that | the Northern Securities stockholders | would own enough stock in the railway | | company to elect officers and directors of | { both roads.” “That is all we wanted, Mr. Kennedy said Munn; “much obliged to you.” W. P. Clough, general counsel for the Northern Securities Company, testified | | that at the meeting of the Great North- ern directors in October 630,771 shares of | Great Northern was recorded as voted. Of that number 192,754 stood in the name | of the various holders and 458,017 as hold- ings of trusteés for the Northern Securi- | ties Company. None was voted in the| name of the securities company.

Police Take Hold of Kansas Reformer and Eject Her From Building. R NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Mrs. Carrie Na- tion created a sensation at the Horse Show to-day. She harangued the great gathering on the evils of overdress, at- tempted to break a bottle of champagne and finally was ejected from the building by the police. Mrs. Nation entered the garden quiet- 1y and took a seat in the tier. She had been there only a few minutes when her gaze rested on the box where some mem- bers of the Vanderbilt family were sit- ting. She studied her programme and then descended to the promenade. Sta- tioning herself in front of the Vanderbilt . In the box were seated Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Reginald Vanderbilt and Miss Nicholson. Alfred G. Vanderbilt was leaning against the rail of the promenade and did not see Mrs. Nation approach. “You ought to be ashamed of yéur- selves,” the woman.screamed at them. “You ought to be ashamed to wear such disgraceful clothes. Take them off, take them off and attire yourselves' more modestly.” Alfred G. Vanderbilt hastily left his po- sition at the rail and came over to where Mrs. Nation. was standing and wiping his forehead with a handkerchief he whis-| pered something in her ear and pushed her away. The outburst of the woman attracted a great crowd of people and the ! occupants of the Vanderbilt box were | evidently very much embarrassed. Mrs. Nation then turned her attention to other boxes. Finally she started for the cafe, where she bore down on a party of men who were drinking wine. Mrs. Nation seized a botile and glaring at the men shouted: ‘“Young men, don't drink such filthy stuff! You are going straight to hell. Where is the man who sells this stuff? Show him to me, and I will tell him what I think of him.” Mrs. Nation's request was speedily granted by the sudden arrival of M. Vil- lepigue, the caterer at the garden. “Get out of this terrible business,” she shouted at him. ‘“You are also going to hell and ruining the bodies and souls of men. You are dragging them down with vou. Shame on you! Shame on you!” The Frenchman, however, ran to Mrs. had repeatedly brandished in the air t emphasize her remarks. Then he pushe her out of the door. Here the police took hold of the Kansas reformer and forced her out of the building. THREATENS MILLIONAIRES AND THEN TRIES TQ DJE| After Confessing That He Wrote to Morgan and Others Young Strubel Attempts Suicide. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—After confess- ing that he was the writer of letters to J. P. Morgan, Russell Sage, John W. Gates and other wealthy men, threaten- ing them that unless they paid him money their death would be brought about by Nihilists through subtle poison, Bothe Strubel, the young German arrested in Hoboken on Wednesday, twice tried to commit suicide to-day. ‘While he was telling his story to Chief of Police Murphy of Jersey City in the latter's private office this afternoen, the Chief was called to the telephone to talk with Captain Titus, the head of the New York detective bureau. When the Chief returned he found that Strubel had rolled a large handkerchief into a tight rope and was about to fry to strangle him- | self. i “I don't care about myself,” he told Chief Murphy, “but this will kill father and relatives in Germany. rather die now that it is all over.” His father is Chief of Police in one of the suburbs of Hamburg. Chief Murphy reasoned with him, tell- ing him he was a young man and had plenty of time to reform and livesdown the disgrace, and the young fellow prom- fsed not to try again to take his life. But as a safeguard when Strubel was placed in a cell, Policeman Lurvery was ; put on guard. Lurvery was sitting with his back to the cell when he felt’a hand on his hip pocket, where he carried his revolver. Turning on Strubel, Lurvery grabbed the was about to pull the trigger. The po- liceman was then locked in the cell with Strubel. 5 ! He exonerated the three men arrested | with him from any connection with his | scheme. i Verdict for J. Downey Harvey. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 20.—The jury in the case of J. Downey Harvey against the American Surety Company found a ver- dict this morning in favor of the plaintiff, giving him $2750 damages. The suit grew out of the appeal of the War- ner's Ranch Indians to the United States Supreme Court from the judgment of the lower court ousting them from the ranch. The surety com- pany gave a bond for any damage Har- | Vey might sustain through the appeal. The damages awarded represent the rental of the land during the time that has passed since the appeal was taken. \ ¥ TG Arrow Destroys a Boy’s Eye.

[ GASTRO GROWLS AT JOHN BULL Strain Between Great Britain and Venezu- ela Is Acute, Blockade Is Ignored and the Warships Are Ready to Rescue Vessels, fR R Y WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Nov. 20.—It is considered remarkable that President Castro has not resumed the functions of the Presidency of Venezuela, which he gave over to the Vice President when he took the field prior to the bat- tle of La Victoria. This delay on the part of President Castro is regarded by the diplomatic corps as an indication that he is not satisfied that the revolution is over, although he informed the foreign Ministers that it would be completed not later than December 5. The strain of the relations between Great Britain and Venezuela, already great, has been intensified by the refusal of the British Government to give satis- faction in the Ban Righ affair and by the publication of the Government of Trini- dad of the decree announcing that the blockade of the Orinoco River ports de- clared by the Venezuelan Government is null and of no effect. The Trinidad Gov- ernment has also failed to recognize the Presidentlal proclamation made the day fellowing the flight of General Matos, and President Castro regards this omission as further evidence that the British are en- couraging the revolution. Mr. Haggard, the British Minister at Caracas, reiter- ated a few days ago to the Venezuelan Government that Great Britain did not hold herself liable for the action of the Ban Righ, that she continues perfectly neutial and that as an indication of her coneiliatory attitude she refused the Ban Righ to refit at Trinidad. This statemnt is not acceptable to President Castro, who insists on having satisfaction. The organ of the Venezuelan Govern- ment publishes the aforementioned decree of the Trinidad Government and bitterly attacks Great Britain on that score. It says that Trinidad has been the head- quarters of General Matos’ revolution, that men and ammunition have been sent from that island and that Great Britain has incited and prejudiced the world against President Castro. The journal declares that the blockade is effective and that British vessels will be seized if they violate it. Minister Haggard de- clines to make any statement, but in dip- omatic circles it is understood that Great Britain would release her ships by force, and that this was one of the purposes of the recently reported entrance of one of her warships into the Orinoco. Germany is upholding Great Britain and is threat- ening a rupture of relations with Vene- zuela, but no action has yet been taken. CROWDS OF CHILDREN CHEER THE PRESIDENT People Gather at Almost Every Sta-| tion to Catch Glimpse of Him. ASHEVILLE, N. C., Nov. 20.—The Pres- jdent’s homeward journey to-day was without special incident. The ride across the mountains over the Southern Railway was made in fast time. only to change crews and engines. Its coming was generally unheralded, but there was a small crowd at almost every station. Several times the train was cheered as it swept by. the President received a telegram from Newport, Tenn, saying that the school children would turn out to see him. By his direction the train was slowed down when that place was reached. About 200 | children with flags in their hands were lined up along the track. The President stood on the rear platform and waved his hand and hat to them. At Stevenson, Ala., early this morning about fifty chil- dren gathered around his ear and beggcd the porter to let them see the President. The President, who had just risen, heard their cries_and rather than disappoint them he stepped to the door in his stock- ing feet and said: “Good morning,” just as the train drew out. At Ooltewah Junction, where the train stopped for water, a tall, rawboned mountaineer en- gaged the President in conversation. The Tennesseean remarked that the bears in Mississippi had proved too wild for the President. “Perhaps they were domestic bears and took to the woods upon my arrival,” re- plied the President, smiling. At Knox- ville the President shook hands with a sister of the lieutenant colonel of his reg- iment.

Robert Ritchie, Ashes of Deceased Minister to Occupy Unmarked Grave in Hills, —_— Oaklind Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 20.° The funeral of the Rev. Robert Ritchie, late rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, was held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the temple ot worship where for 50 many years the beloved minister had preached the word of God. The impressive cere- mony served to make more poignant the loss that the church and the community have sustained. 3 St. Paul’s was crowded to #s portals with the friends and parishioners of the deceased minister, who found ‘surcease for their deep sorrow in the soulful music and the utterance of heartfelt ‘prayers. Men of the clergy who had labored toil- fully by his side in.the cause of Chris- tianity there felt his presence for-the last time. Parishioners who had followed his teachings, friends who had known him for a powerful personality, men and wom- en of all degrees of influence were there to do him honor. g Hundreds of floral- offerings—beautiful evidences of grief and sorrow—covered the chancel and altar. The casket of the dead, draped with a pall of violets, was borne to a station just back of the chan- cel rail and flowers and wreaths were banked heavily on each side of it. BISHOP DIRECTS SERVICES. Upon the Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of California, devolved the sad office of directing the services. He was assisted by the Rev. R. C. Foute, rector of Grace Episcopal Church of San Francisco; the Rev. James Hulme, assistant rector of St. Paul’'s, and the Rev. F. A. Miel of Sacramento. At the appointed hour of 2 o'clock the funeral cortege moved up the central alsle toward the altar, Preceding the casket were Bishop Nichols, his assist- ants, the vested cholr and the honorary pall bearers and following it were Mra. Ritchie and her children, J. H. Shattuck of Alameda, the late rector’s friend, and Mrs. Shattuck. As the cortege proceeded slowly along Bishop Nichols read from the scripture, beginning with *“I am the resurrection and the life.” At the altar the Rev. Mr. Foute opened the services with a reading from the burial ritual of the Episcopal church. The hymnal announcements were made by the Rev. Mr. Hulme and the prayer was read by the Rev. Mr. Miel. Bishop Nichols closed the service with the reading of the committal ser- vice, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Hulme. During the service the vested choir sang the ‘*‘Burial Chant,” “Lead, Kindly Light,” “Rock of Ages” and 'O, Para- dise.” FRIENDS GRIEF-STRICKEN. As the casket was being borne from.the church many sobs came from the grief- stricken mourners. The mourners gather- ed in front of the temple and saw the re- mains borne away toward the crematory, where they were incinerated. In accord- apee with a wish often expressed by the d#iceased his ashes will be hidden beneath the sod of some quiet spot in the Pied- mont hills, Where they will rest uu- marked.
