WASHINGTON, May 28.—The Su- preme Court of the United States to- day reiterated its decision of last term in the Philippines case of Warner, Banes & Compapy and Frederic W. Lincoln, involving the validity of the tariff collections in the Philippine Islands under the executive order of 1897. The opinion was delivered by Chief Justice Fuller. The cases in- volve about $4,000,000, This was the second decision in these cases, which have become some- what famous because of the deter- mined effort of the Government to se- cure a reversal of the court hy itself. The cases involved the right to cal- fect -a duy Upon' ris info" the Philippine Islands from the United States between April 11, 1899, the date of the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain, and October 25, 1901, when Congress passed an act providing a civil government for the Philippines. The collections were made under executive order authoriz- ing the levy of tariff duties as a mili- |tary contribution. The sum involved |is about $4,000,000, all of which has been paid into the treasury. The court of claims sustained ,the action of the executive.department on the ground that the customs service was properly administered under the |executive order during the insurrec- {®ion of the Filipinos. | On account of his previous official connection with the Philippines, Secre- tary Taft has taken an active part in the presentation o! the Government side of the controvers None of the |the United States Treasury, but it was all used in the administration of | Philippine affairs. SHELES e FEDERAL SENATOR' NAME ON BOOKS OF GAMBLER CANFIELD held During the Trial of Delahanty Case. NEW YORK, May 28.—In the trial to- day before Judge Newburger of the suit | brought by John Delahanty against Rich- |ard S. | vices, growing out of the raid upon the latter’s gambling house in East Forty- fourth street in 1902, Delahanty testified | regarding the settlement of three notes | for §100,000 each in the possession of Can- field. The name of the maker of these ‘xnoles was not disclosed, he being only | described by the witness as “a man un- | der-2L years of age.” : | Delahanty said that after prolonged ne- gotiations a compromise was reached and the notes were surrendered on the pay- ment of $130,000 in cash. Delahanty also | testified that Canfield had told him that in | the safe in his establishment were securi- | ties to the value of $1,000,000, as well ‘as certain letters which Canfield's manager told him *“‘meant social ruin to certain people,” A cablegram was read at the trial. writ- ten by Canfield, in which he said: “The Senator-must pay in fall.” | Asked if the Senator was a United | States Senator, Delahanty replied in the | affirmative, but here inquiry was shut off, owing to objections of opposing counsel. !em;u from the mysterlousb corres- AR T N R LR pondent who demanded $5000 or his - life. Notwithstanding the vigilance of | CANADIAN IMMIGRATION Chief of Detectives Desmond and his men and the postal authorities, two other communications have reached Francis. These warn him that he can- not escape his Nemesis and that only $5000 will save him from death. Francis thinks he has a clew. It is suspected that the letter writer is a former customer of the Francis Brok-. erage firm who lost money in specula- tion. The letters declare that another rendezvous will be arranged to which Francis must go alone at night. Two whistles will let him know the author of the letters is in the neighborhood and three whistles subsequently will give him a signal to drop $5000 where | he is and to hurry from the spot. ———T0 Schooner Sinks in Storm.

SCANDAL IN PARLIAMENT Question Comes Up, but Lord Strath- cona Denies That He Is Involved. LONDON, May 28.—In the House of Commons today John J.

Walter Bunciman, Parliamentary Secretary to the local Government | Board, replied that Lord Strathcona | had informed the Colonjal Secre that the charges did not implicate him in any way, either personally or in his capacity as High Commissioner.

SMELTER AN WANTS A TOGA Simon Guggenheim in Colorado . Senato- DENVER. May 28.~What promisés to be the most spectacular senatorial fight in the history of Colorado is on. D. B. Fairley, for five years chairman of the | Republican State central committée, an- nounced his retirement today, stating that poor lealth necessitated it. His oppo- nents .n the party say he was forced to resign. Those not biased considered Fairley's | retirement the first victory for Simon | Guggenheim, who came to Colorado a | year ago, avowedly to establish his resi- | dence here and make a fight for the sen- |atorial toga soon to be put aside by | Thomas Patterson. | Guggenheim is one of the heads of the | Smelter Trust, which is controlled by the | Guggenheim family, and has amassed | millions since the trust secured control of the smelting industry. He is ambitious | to become a Senator and has announced | to realize his ambition. John F. Vivian, | secretary of the State central committee | and Guggenheim's adviser, probably will |succeed Fairley, who was opposed to | Guggenheim. The shrewd campaign in progress is indicated by the fact that Guggenheim is showering money on various institutions, thereby creating favorable sentiment among all who admire philanthropy. He has just finished giving the Colorado | School of Mines $60,000. Smaller gifts have been numerous. Colorado mining operators, who allege | extortion in smelting charges, doubtless | will fight the political aspirations of the smelting magnate, Many Republicans want Thomas F. Walsh, another multi-millionaire, to get into the race. The Democrats will fight to hold the office and political pyrotech- nics are assured.

The new submarine destroyer, Nixon said, will be offered to the United States Gov- ernment before any, foreign power has an_option oniit. Nixon declares the boat has a'secret device by which it will be practically impossible for - a torpedo boat or strange craft to come within a mile or two without' being . observed or heard. “The task of destroying the unwel- come" craft reqfiires another device,” Nixon said. *This is covered by one of the applications for patents now pending.
