The complaint alleges that President Tyree offered a false Instrument to the Secretary of State for record, in that was certified that the 'books closed an December 31, 1904, whereas ‘it is* al- leged that the books of the company were permitted to remain open in Jan- uary' for the receipt of cash which went to the credit of the report for the preyious year;. that yree falsely . certified to the amount of cash held by the com: pany in bapk and in safety deposit vaull as belng $40,%52 65, when, as.it is chars,eg the amount was much less: than .that, perhaps not -exceeding $6000; that Tyree falsely certified that “thé total--expenses of the company for 1904 were . $119,118,. when, it is charged, the’total expenses were largely In excess of that arhount.

Which Does Not' Retain -Salient Points TALKS WITH SENATORS Administration Opposed to Any Dicker Affecting the Philippine Tariff = Policy WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 — President Roosevelt is not trying to dictate to Con- gress what it shall do or not do regard- ing rallroad rates or any other problem of -lexislation. has not- delivered to the SPnate or A ithe House any sort.of an “ultimatum™ pn-subjegts of legislation and has not heid over the heads of Con- gress the “threat of an extraordinary ses- sion” if he does not obtain the jegisla- tion for which he is hoping. This state- ment is made by authority; also that sug- gestions of a compromise of any soft on rate regulation, which do not embody the substance of the President’s message on the subject, have not appealed to the President. It can also be sald that he doubtless would refuse to accept a com- promise which would affect any essen- tial feature of the proposed legislation. What is known as the Hepburn bill, now under discussion by the House, em- bodies subsfantially the President's views as set forth i his annual message. In the carly days of the present session he thought the measure proposed by the In- terstate Commerce Commission was’,the most practicable offered, but after ma- ture consideration it seemed to him that the Hepburn bill was the better. Members of the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce have assured the President that either the hepburn bill or a measure resembling it in essential features will be reported to the Senate. The report of the Senate committee will not be unanimous, but it will represent the views of a mafority of its members. The report - will be supported, it Is thought, by Senators. Cullom, Dolliver and Clapp and possibly by other Repub- licans and by the Democratic nembers of the committee. It may be stated that, while the Presi- dent desires that such’rate legislation shall be established, he is-firm in his AL- titude that the railroads as well as the shippers shall be justly dealt with, He wants nothing i the law that would af- fect unfairly the rights or the. property of the railroads. He is confident that legislation te be framed suhstantially on the lnes ofthe-Hepburn measure will prove fair alke to the raliroads and to | the people, He.is. not trying to dictate matters of detail, and of course will pre- serve an open mind as to proposed amend- ments which do not affect the material and substantial features of the bill. Sen- ators - Dolliver and Clapp had - anothe] talk with the President to-day o the rate regulation question following a meet- ing of the Senate Committce at which the subject was under consideration. The President is interested deeply in both the Philippine fariff and the state- hood measure. Concesslons as 'to either one of. them have not, it is stat- ed, been given serious consideration. At the White House it Is understood that ‘an effort is to be made in the Senate -firét - to -eliminate Arizona and New Mexico from consideration as a joint State, ahd if that -should fall, sec- ondly, to“incorporate ‘in the statehood bill a provisfon for “the question of joint statehood being submitted to. the Voters of the two Territories. It is early yet to say with any degree of accuracy what the result of the lat- ter proposition may be. Senator Bev- eridge of Indiana, chairman of the Com- mittee on Territories, has assured . the President that in his judgment the meas- ure as it stands ultimately will be en- acted into law. That would be as the President desires, but it is-not unlikely that he would sign the bill even if it were sent to him with the referendum provision inéluded. A vigorous fight is being made on the Philippine bill. Just now it is not a -ques- tion of there being merely a majority. and a minority report on the measure, for the Senate is divided into several groups on the measure, each one of which repre- sents a different view, Whether these di- vergent views can be Tesolved into one, and the measure, practieally as it stands, enacted into law or. not, remains yet to be_determined. : 3 \ Secretary Taft,- who is a’stanch advo- cate of the bill, has let it be understood that no compromise- involving an increase of, the tariff rates on Philippine sugar .and tobacco imports over the 25 per cent rate provided for in the ;measure will be ac- cepted, if his'views are to obtain. . He spurns the suggestion that. in order to secure votes for the Hepburn rate reg- ulation bill the adniinistration-would: be willing to permit tire ‘Philippiné sugar and tobaceo imports to eome into the United States at a rdte- of 50 per cent of the:| Diogley tariff.

Stats erioutora, OASESES o STUDENTS DEBATE . FOR CARNOT MEDAL Annual ~ Contest in Victory for Berkeley. - BERKELEY, Feb. 2.—The gold medal awarded the winner of the annual Car- not debate, in which representatives of Stantord and the University of California take part, was given tosnight to Norman 'A. Eisner of the University of California. The débate was h by a great crowd in Harmon gymna: the Stanford de- baters being supported by a number of En party. Judging by the Chamberlainite news- papers, there is little hope that an agree- ment will be reached, and it is thought that' the most likely outcome will be for both Chamberlain and: Balfour to give way and hand over the leadership to Walter Hume Long, formerly Chief Secre- tary for Ireland, who would endeavor to bring dbout unity in the party. Apparently Chamberlain; while steadily declining to take the leadership of the disunited party, practically delivered an ultimatum to the effect that unless Bal- four was prepared-not omly to accept Chamberlain’s scheme, but'to make it his miltant policy, he will withdraw with his followers and form a separate tariff re- 1t | Shgama S AT POWDER EXPLODES, —While t | ing_with gunpowder st Laurel Hill i vesterday Dert Greenef was badly burned Cardinal “rooters.” Twelve times have California and Stan- ford men fought on the platform for the Carnot medal.

The . authorities adopted. rigorous measures ‘to repress disturbances and the threatemed coun- ter-demonstration by Soclalists against the militant Catholits who gathered at the church, and in consequence the Rue St. Dominique, on which-the church 18 situated, had the appearance of a street in a besieged city. All the -shops in the neighborhood of the ed!fice were closed, cordon$ of armed municipal guards an foot were stationed at inter- vals alonk the street and a squadron of rwounted municipal guards with drawn swords patrolled the thoroughfare and kept the crowds moving. When the Prefect, M. Lepine, arrived, the bells were tolled and the people inside the church, numbering about 3000, began singing psalms, while out- side the rowdy element shouted revo- lutionary songs. M. Lepine thrica summoned the congregation to open the |’ inside gates, which the people refusad to do, and then firemen were ordered to force an entrance, using their hatchets. As they mounted ladders in order to break in the windows of the chapel of the Virgin, an gnnex of the church, re- volver shots rang out and the firenien retired. S Later a fire engine arrived upon the sceng and amid a shower of missiles the firemen scrambled up to the roof With & hose. The water was turned on and the interlor of the building was soon flooded. In the meantime the doovs had been battered down. but the muni- cipal guards found barricades insidé and§met with fierce resistance.

It is charged that the blame for the recent conflicts attaches ta the Minister of the Interior because of his order that the inventory should be carried out before the regulations under the ‘separation law are deflnitely drawn up. _This leaves the Catholics uncertain regarding the fate of cnurch - property, and ‘their doubts on this subject have brought about their resistance to the or- der and its results. The authorities are determined, however, that the law shall take its course and the disorders be sup- pressed with the utmost vigor. Twenty-two hundred inventories already have been made-throughout France, many without incident; but Paris contains sixty- nine Roman Catholic churches, of which but half hive been visited by the officials. Procecdings will continue to-morrow and in order to prevent a renewal of the dis- turbances the authoritics have kept ret the hoyr at which the ¢ommissioners will vigit -the churches.

The accasion was. the closing of the two days’ celebration of the quarter of a century of the existencs of the Christlan En- deavor movement.. During the festival the assemblages of the members have been greater than ever before known in this city. President Jordan asked what the Twen- tieth Century wanted the young men to do; and in part sald: The twentfeth century has come on with & rush and an energy such s has never before been known. There will be deeds of wisdom and deeds of folly enacted just as In the past. Lut the century will be more complex, more etrenueus and more demvecratic than ever. There are so many things to do that are wise, but there will be foolish things done, of course, and there are only & hunared years, five of which have already gone, in which to do it all It wll be stremuous because the world has been made smaller with the aid of the inv tlons by which we can speak and travel all around the world. To-day we bave to say yes and mo one hun- dred times where our grandfathers eaid yes and no once, CARE NOT FOR ANCESTRY. Because of the complexity and strenuousness of the century it must be democratic—an age to do things without fuss or feathers or pomp or ceremony. When we want a man to do things to-day we do not seek him because he i3 the son of & a Marquis or a Senator; we care not for ancestry, nor his college degrees. Democracy is equality before the law, where Do man has;the advantage of another. De- mocracy mt‘l equality In the start. Democ- raey is the best government for men who have their own heads I their own hats. There never was a time when there were so many openings for young men, who are given the op- portunity to raise themselves to excellence without the advantage of money. The century does not want those men whom one finds right along to the ferry behind the swinging doore, but is going to demand men of character. The days of the scheming man bave gone by, and every seifish schemer will pass out. He has found out that the twentiech century will not tolerate him. The twentieth century demands loyal men. whether the workingman or the head of the concern. There is a tendency to destroy the loyalty of men o thelr empioyers, and there {8 no greater enemy than those who would de- stroy U loyalty of men to those for whom they wWork. .

Feb. 2.—Arguments n the Finigan divorce suit were concluded this afternoon and the case was submit- ted to Judge Thomas J. Lennon. During the arguments Finigan kept tugsing away at his grizzled mustache. Mrs. Finigan is anxlous to secure large alt- mony with a decree of diverce and be- Heves that the old colonel has hidden wealth. Some time #go she was awarded $100 & month alimony, but the colonel re- fused to pay it. clalming poverty, and served seven weeks in the County Jail for contempt. His meals were brought from the hotel and he seemed perfeetly content with his surroundings. Judge Angellotti, seeing that he was not affect- ed by imprisonment, ordered him released. Attorney Dorsey in his argumept this afternoon reviewed the testimony, main- taining that his fair cilent was entitled to a decree of divorce on the ground of cru- elty and sufficient alimony to enable her fo move in the soclety she enjored previous to the separation in 189. Dorsey eon- tended that Colonel Finigan was worth $200,000 and had a yearly income of over $12,000 when he was married, and that therefore he should be worth that much now. He asked permission to amend his complaint to particularize specific acts of cruelty and inhumanity in order to make it conform with the testimony brought out during the trial. Attorney Sweeney objected to the com- plaint being amended at this late hour and Judge Lennon sustained his objec- tion. Attorney Sweeney made & brief ar- gument, declaring there was nothing in the evidence to support Mrs. Finigan's charge of cruelty. He declared the prose- cution had failed to establish San Fran- cisco as the restdence of Finigan and vig- orously attacked the allmony arguments made by Dorsey, saying that the colonel was insolvent,’ and as the fair plll.nu!: had supported herself these many year th:re :.;;o no reason why alimony should be paid. —_————— WIFE WANTS VENGEANCE.
