Captain Smith of the liner Siberia killed himself December 7 at Hongkong during a fit of despond- ency, brought on, say his friends, by brooding over the treatment he said he received from General Man- Schwerin emphatically denies this, but suggests that the secret service agent who investigated Smith's naturalization papers unduly harassed the shipmaster.

General Manager Denies Existence of Ill Will. The mystery surrounding the deatn at Hongkong on December 7 of Captain J. Tremaine Smith, commander of the Pacific Mail liner Siberia, was cleared yesterday by advices which ar- rived o1 the liner America Maru. In a iit of despondency, Captain Smith kilied sudden | himself. After making his will ard other- wise setting in order his earthly arfairs, he cut his throat with a razor. In his eliorts to make certain the extingw in- ment of the vital spark, the master mariner all but severed head from body and the razor, with the bloody blade troken into three parts, found lying bé- side the still form, attested the desperate strength exerted in that last lgnely act. Smith was one of the hest-liked mas- ters navigating the Pacific. He had many friends -here and in the Orient and with the news of this tragic ending of what they had supposed was an ordinary fit of the blues these friends are now telling what they know of the causes which | may have driven the 'Siberia’s mander (o such dire extremity. On the eria’s last found trip to the Orient she carried as passengers E. H. Harrimari, president of the railroad and steamship lines he controls, and R. P. Schwerin, vice president and general manager of the Pacific Mail Company. During the Siberfs’s stay in’ pert. aftei the trip, Smith complained bitterly to many of his'friends of the way Schwerin had treated him during the voyage.

SCHWERIN MAKES DENIAL. R. P. Schwerin was seen in his office, seventh floor of the - Merchants’ Ex- change building, yesterday afternoon. He emphatically denied having been in any way responsible for Captain Smlths de- spondency. He said: Captain Smith’'s suiclde was a great shock to me. No captain in the line stood higher than he. Our personal relations had always been most pleasant. 1 took a trip with him on the Siberfa in the months of August and October. He seemed in higher spirits than I had ever seen him. I had not a word with him of any shape or description that was not most pleasant. 1 cannot explaln his sulcide. He had been suffering from heart disease for several years. It may be that the way in which he had been harassed about his natur— alization papers discouraged him. At the time I assured him that we would stand by him, and he in return assured me that his papers were all right. ANTI-UNION CONTRACT NOT A MISDEMEANOR NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—In the Appel- late Division of the Supreme Court yes- terday a decision was rendered in the case of Harry Marcus, convicted on a charge of coercing Hyman Speinbaum to enter into a written agreement with | the H.

ESCAPE TOILS OF THE LAW Government Makes Fatal Er- ror Likely to Defeat Justice CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—The resumption of the trial of the case of the Government against the packers may be postponed from next Tuesday until January 16 be- cause John 8. Miller, chief counsel for the | packers, may be engaged next week in the Chicago tractlon case before the United States Supreme Court. The date for the arguments in the traction case was originally fixed for to-day, but the court failed to dispose of other cases pre- ceding it. The report that the .Government will quash the indictments against the pack- ers was cursent in La Salle street finan- cial circles. It was based on an opinion given by a Jeading member of President Roosevelt's Cabinet, to the effect that the Government had made a fatal error in forcing the packers to give up their se- crets to the Department of Commerce and Labor, dud that they (the packers) therefore were entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution. ““This is the first intimation I have had of either report,” said United States Dis- trict Attorney Morrison when asked con- cerning the rumors. —_—————— WITNESS IN MURDER CASE STUPEFIED WITH FRIGHT the Penal Code which forbids the mak- | Stable Boy Unable to Testify and the ing of contracts of the kind described, declaring such act a misdemeanor, is unconstitutional. —————— Vardaman Vetoes Railroad BilL JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 3.—Governor Vardaman to-day vetoed a House bill | hearing of Dr. D.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 3.—Lobbyists were dealt a knockout blow to-day, when Speaker Thompson of the House of Rep- resentatives ordered the sergeant-at-arms to enforce the rules governing persons to be permitted inside the chamber. In the past lobbyists have entered the chamber at will, and even openly fought for or against legislation from the floor of both branches of the General Assembly.

The comtracts were dis- tributed among makers in Belgiam, Hol- | land, Switzerland and Ttaly which would not, have been done unless some reasons for haste existed. Inquiries made regarding the reasons for. urgency resulted in obtaining the statement that the ordering of the cars was a precautionary measure, the gen- | eral staff desiring to be ready to move troops, if necessary, by the, first of March. This is only a proper measurs | of prudence, it was asserted, in view of | the extensive military preparations going on in France, which, among other dis- positions, include the movement toward the German frontier of six regiments of artillery, or 180 guns. The ordering of these freight cars, each of which would accommmodate forty sol- diers, or would enable the authorities to transport material, is only owing to the French preparations and must not be taken to indicate any hostile design on | the part of Germany, whose peaceful in- tentions remain unchanged. PREPARING FOR EVENTUALITIES. The step taken is due to the conviction lorig held and acted upon here that the best preservative of peace is complete preparedness for any eventuality. The word ‘“‘war” is not used, because such a word in itself would be a provocative, and every interest, both in and outside the Government, shrinks from such a possibility, unless it be a small group of military men. The Government probably will regret the publication of this intelligence, but its transmission seems necessary to a proper understanding of the drift of events and of how both France and Ger- many are strengthening their diplomatic positions on the eve of the Moroccan conference by material preparations. No doubt exists here that the French and German policles will differ in the conference on the question of policing the Moroccan-Algerian frontier and on some less important questions. EXPLAINS FRENCH ACTIVITY. PARIS, Jan. 3.—The Embassador of one of the powers said to-day that care- ful inquiry had convinced him that the recent revival of French military activ- ity, which has given rise to alarmist reports, was due mainly to a change from the military methods of Berteaux, the late Minister of War, to those of Etienne, the present Minister of War. Berteaux belonged to the Socialists, whose cardinal principle is oppesition to war and a reduction of military expendi- tures. This naturally resulted in inactiv- ity in miltary preparation. Etienne, on the contrarv, is not affiliated with the Socialists, but reoresents the energetic element which maintains that the coun- try should be prepared to meet every eventuaiity. Berteaux's 'precipitate res- ignation has brought Etienne into con- trol of the military administration, and he immediately adopted a vigorous policy, not for belligerent purposes, but 4in -execution of the general desire to have the army in a perfect state of effi- ciency. Etienne avvealed to the budget com- inittee of the Chamber of Deputies for exceptional military credits, the details of which were discussed behind closed doors. and he also instituted careful in- | quiry into the recuirements of the'| frontier defenses, which the last inspec tion by General Negrier disclosed to be svstematically to remedy these and other defects, thus placing the army and all the equipments and defensive works in a proper state of efficiency. WASHINGTON WELL INFORMED. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 —Neither the American Embassador to France nor the like official at Berlin could treat of tHe situation which now exists between France and Germany in any report which could be published here without involving trouble, But it is belleved th& explana- tion of the latest German movement is to be found in the fact that last July. when the Morocco situation developed an acute phase, the French General Staff discovered that the entire army, especial- ly the transportation facilitles, was not in a condition justifying France in adopt- ing an aggressive attitude. So the nego- tiations suddenly assumed a mild tone and have dragged along up to the pres- ent time. Meanwhile, the French General Staff went to work with great assiduity to cor- rect the evils which have developed, with the result that within the last ten days it was asserted that, in the opinion of military experts, the French army was in better condition than at any period in its history. The weakest point last summer was discovered to be in the mob- ilization, and this has been strengthened so that the vast bodies of troops can be collected at the popular centers and transported to the frontier posts in an in- credibly short time. GERMAN SECRECY BALKED. It is believed here by officials who have kept close watch on the situation that the Germans have likewise been quietly, and as far as possible, secretly Increas- ing the efficiency of their army. But when the internal resources failed in the | matter of producing a sufficient number go to foreign countries for the needed supplies, it was patent that such an or- der could not be concealed. To make the best of the situation, this news of the tation maf from Ber! as an answer to the French. unofficial statements as to the motrmm-mur!

She Did Not Love Special Dispatch to The Call. PITTSBURG, Jan. 3.—A graduats of Vassar College, who preferred to hire out as a family servant rather tham marry a rich old man whom she did not love, Katheyine Gray, daughter of the late Senator Asbury Gray of Vire ginia, was notified to-day that her father’s fortune, 18st or stolen when he died twenty-seven years ago, had been recovered and that it was all hers.

ADVERTISEMENTS. THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char- coal is the safest and most efficient dis- infectant and purifier in nalwe, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans- ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im= proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and furthes acts as a’natural and eminently safe cathartie. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics, in tablet form or rather in the form of large,” pleasant-tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a,much improved condition of the general health, better complex- jon, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo. physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: “I advise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex- ion and purify the breath, mouth ana throat; I also believe the liver is great- 1y benefited by the daily use of the they cost but twenty-five cents a box at rug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoa] tablets.” This Knife has had a tremen~ dous sale during the past four months.
