SPIRIT OF DEVILTRY PREVAILS

Brakes on Car, Put Oat Lights,
and Ralne Havoc Generally
One Ardent More to Follow.
BERKELEY, Cal., Sept. 24. The students
of the University of California Indulged
In riotous diversion tonight, and as a re
sult one of the number, Winfleld Reed,
of Santa Barbara, Cal., Is in jail with a
charge of felony confronting him, and
others are likely to be Incarcerated for
equally serious and minor offenses. The
trouble grew out of the big rally to the
football team on the campus. Early in
the night boys made a raid on a quan
tity of railroad ties and transferred the
fuel to the campus to be used for a bon
fire. After the rally a spirit of deviltry
seemed to take possession of the students..
About 500 of them took possession of
the 10 o'clock local train, put out the
lights, turned on the handbrakes and de
molished the Interior furnishings. Win
field Reed was detected in the act of
pulling the air brake, and Deputy Con
stable Lwveland arrested him. The
students rushed to his rescue, and a des
perate tight ensued, but Loveland, after
being reinforced, succeeded In placing his
prisoner in the flrehBuse. which will be
used as a Jail. The boys tried to storm
the place and rescue their comrade, but
were repulsed. Reed was later taken to
the Oakland jail. He is a freshman, and
admits he pulled the air brake, but de
clares he did not realize the seriousness
of his offense, -which the law makes a
felony.
President "Wheeler, of the university,
when seen tonight, said he saw no reason
why the law should not take Its course
in Reed's case, as the offense was seri
ous. Other arrests will doubtless be
made.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24. On alarm from
the Maspeth police, an ambulance was
sent, early today, from a Brooklyn hos
pital, on the four-mile run to the home
of Joseph Alstrefski. The ambulance sur
geon found the man lying on the floor in
a pool of blood.
"My wife stabbed me," he gasped. "She
had been drinking, and was' abusing our
daughter when I came home. I protested
and she stabbed me."
The woman lay on a bed apparently
asleep. The surgeon began to work on
Alstrefskl's wound, while a policeman or
dered the woman to get up and go with
him to the station. He turned his back.
The woman Jumped up, snatched her hun
tand's razor and before the policeman
could turn around to stop her, cut her
throat from ear to ear. Then both man

can recover.

DEADLOCK ON THE TARIFF
Germany and Reichstag: Majority Un
able to Agree.
BERLIN, Sept. 24. The government
and the Reichstag majority have reached
a deadlock on the tariff. The Imperial
becretary of State Count von Posa
dowskl-Wehner, enunciated to 'the Reichs
tag tariff committee today more sharply
than ever before the government's de
termination notto accept the bill as
amended at the first reading, and the
committee Immediately re-voted the meat
and animal duties to the same rates as at
the first reading, to which Count von
Posadowskl-Wehner had particularly ob
jected.
Herr Herold, the Centrist leader, af
firmed that without these duties the Cen
trists would not support the "bill, and
one by one representatives of the Agra
rians, the two Conservative factions and
portions of the National Liberals sus
tained Herr Herold's position.
Count Posadowskl-Wehner made a con.
fidentlal statement to the committee re
specting the government's reasons for
rejecting the minimum scale of duties
on animals and meats. These reasons
are understood to be in connection with
the negotiations of the new commercial
treaties. Upon a member Inquiring how
much the Count's remarks were confi
dential, the Secretary replied that the
government wanted to know openly that
all the Federalists were opposed to the
animal schedule as amended. He also
dwelt on the Importance of continuing
the commercial treaty policy. Count
von Kanitz, one of the- Agrarian lead
ers here, Interjected that the tariff bill
"is the main thing In making treaties,
but secondary so far as the agricultural
classes are concerned, for they have no
Interest whatever in treaties like those
now existing."
The Conservative papers adopt a pessi
mistic tone regarding the bill's pros
pects. The Kreuz Zeitung says the out-
Took could not b'e more gloomy.
The town council of Frankfort-on-the-Main
has adopted a resolution asking the
Reichstag to revoke the prohibition
against the importation of American
canned meats and sausages.
STEEL TRUST ROBBED OF $7G,000.
London Bookkeeper Proves to Be
Former as Well as Embezzler.
LONDON. Sept. 24. L. H. Greig. a book
keeper In the London offices of the Car
negie Steel Company, who was remanded
oil Friday last on the charge of forging
checks amounting to $9500, purporting to
.Save been signed by Colonel Millard Hun
sicker, chairman of the Nickel Corpora
tion, was again remanded today after a
brief hearing. Counsel for the prosecu
tion said that most probably others were
implicated in the case, which promised
to develop largely. Their Information
disclosed that not only had forgeries been
committed, but embezzlement and theft
of correspondence from Pittsburg to the
Carnegie Company.
Counsel handed in forged checks for
$90,000 and $50,000, respectively. He said
the forgeries were all of great magnitude.
The prisoner, he declared, kept up a lav
ish establishment at Kingston-on-Thames,
and steps were being taken to prevent the
removal of his furniture. Counsel also
handed the magistrate a letter from a
prisoner in Exeter which the magistrate
said threw a new light on the case. Coun
sel added that an examination of the
books showed not only that Greig's forger
ies were very large, but that there had
been an extensive falsification of the
books. The prisoner had apparently been
carrying on large businesses. At arIous
addresses In the city the police have
seized a mass of documents and corre
spondence. They also discovered that
chloride of lime had been used in erasing
names from checks.
Colonel Hunslcker told a representative
of the Associated Press subsequently that
some of the money had been recovered,
but that the loss would probably amount
to $75,000.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures a Lady
Who Was Told That Her Life
Depended Upon a Surgical
Operation.
The greatest misfortune of the present
generation is that wives and mothers' are
so frequently unfitted for the duties of life
and domestic enjoyment, by reason of
broken down health and overtaxed sys
tems. The duties of women of all ages
are really more worrying and wearing
than the troubles met with by men. Social,
household, and often business cares press
upon women very heavily. In this way
the delicate nerves and sensitive organs
become deranged, suffering ensues, and
life becomes a burden that many carry
to the grave.
For the special weaknesses to which
women so often fall victims, medical sci
ence has provided Paine's Celery Com
pound. This famed medicine has specific
powers for correcting the disorders of the
female organism: It maintains health,
gives strength, vivacity, and good looks,
and imparts to the body the elasticity of
girlhood. No other medicine can so quick
ly banish and permanently cure painful
and obdurate feminine ills. Mrs. L. S.
Long, of Flint, Mich., says:
"For twenty-five years I have been, a
great" sufferer from Insomnia, never ob
taining -more than four nights' sleep In a
week. For sixteen years life has been a
burden to me because of prolapsus uteri,
whose tortures no words can describe, and
from which no physician gave me any
hopes of relief, except by an operation. I
have also for years' been troubled with
rheumatism to such an extent in my right
shoulder as to nearly disable me.
"Last February I was induced to try
Paine's Celery Compound, In hopes that
relief from Insomnia and rheumatism
might be obtained. After using three bot
tles of the Compound, the rheumatism was
better, I could sjeep like a child, and,
strangest of all, my uterine trouble was
cured."
the accident is of a very serious char
acter, but he gives no estimate of the
cost of repairing the dock. From the ad
vices" at hand, it Is the opinion of the of
ficers of the department that the accident
was due to bad management In docking
the pontoons.

Floating: Drydock Badly Daxuugrcd.
WASHINGTON, Sept 24. The Havana
floating drydock was injured more seri
ously than was anticipated from the brief
cable reports received at the time of the
accident last week. Naval Constructor
Taylor, who arrived In Havana yesterday,"
made a report by cable to Rear-Admiral
Bowles today, and a mail report concern
ing the accident was received today from
Lieutenant-Commander E. J. Dora, wuo

A. B. Stlckney and Miss Jane Addams
Disagree as to Their Purpose.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 24. The feature
of today's session of the National Conven
tion of the Association of Employers and
Employes was a lively tilt between A. B.
Stlckney, president of the Chicago Great
Western Railroad, and Miss Jane Addams,
of Chicago. Mr. Stlckney read a paper
on "Rewards of Industry," in which he
asserted among other things that the
chief object of labor unions was to secure
high wages. Miss Addams took issue
with this, and sold their principal object
was to get shorter hours. Mr." Stlckney
said too many men had been attracted to
the anthracite fields by the high wages,"
and that caused the present trouble. Miss
Addams declared the operators were re
sponsible for overstocking the market.
They had Imported labor and were respon
sible for present conditions. The debate
was lively and evoked much Interest. Miss
Addams1 subject was "The Social Waste
of Child Labor," but she made her reply
to Mr. Stlckney before beginning her pa
per. On account of the cancelling of the Pres
ident's engagement. It was decided to close
the convention tomorrow.
At the afternoon session T. V. Powderly,
ex-Commissioner of Immigration, in
speaking of the anthracite coal strike,
said few people think of the laboring man
until he strikes, and they are in danger of
being affected by the result of strikes.
"It Is only when we begin to fear we may
not have the pleasure of roasting our
shins in front of an anthracite coal fire
next Winter that we realize that we have
a laboi problem to deal with."
.The evening session was given up to the
discussion of "Some Phases of the Labor
Question,'.' by Colonel James Kllbourne,
of Columbus, O. On the question of so
cialism. Mr. Kllbourne said:
"The great discrepancy between the re
wards of manual, as compared with those
of other labor, the fabulous fortunes mado
by speculation and the forming of gigantic
trusts', controlling the necessaries of life,
are breeding in this country the spirit of
socialism. I do not however, believe that
a quick overturning of our present social
system. Imperfect as It Is. would be bene
ficial to any of our citizens, least of alt
the working people."
In speaking of the anthracite coal
strike iMr. Kllbourne said:
"There may be established peace, but
between labor and monopoly there can
never be anything but war. The strike
in thi anthracite coal mines may be
stopped for a time by the exhaustion of
either party to it, but the strife will never
be definitely settled while a few Individ
uals claiming divine authority assert the
right to control a necessity of life, the
gift of the Creator to all his children, and
to do with It as they see fit"

BOER GIFT BY PHIPPS
NEW YORK STEEL MAGNATE DO
NATES 9100,000 FOR RELIEF.
Fand Is to Be Divided Among;
"Widows and Orphans by
Three Trustees.
LONDON, Sept 21. A dispatch from
The Hague today confirms the report that
the donor of the 5100,000 sent to General
Botha for the relief of destitute Boers
was Henry Phipps, an American, and not
"Arthur White," as announced by the
General In Rotterdam Monday. The
money, however, was sent through Ar
nold White.
In notifying General Botha of the gift,
Mr. Phipps wrote from Beaufort Castle,
Scotland, September 3, that he and his
family had followed the course of the
war with anxious hearts for the sake of
both sides, that a Just ending might be
made. "Now that the war is over," con
tinued Mr. Phipps, "it is a privilege, and
I believe a duty, to do something to re
lieve the suffering caused by the war. I
feel that the best service I could render
'would-be to provide $100,000 for the relief
of the Boer widows' and young orphans'
fund, to be disbursed by you and two
others. My desire is that the temporary
mlsery of the women and children should
be. relieved, and at the same time I trust
nothing will be done which could be Justly
described as. unfriendly to Great Britain."
Botha in Reply.
General Botha, In his reply, dated from
Brussels, September 21, acknowledging the"
"most generous and unexpected gift,"
adds:.
"I have not the slightest hesitation in
giving you assurance that the money will
be used solely and entirely phllanthrop
Ically, and that it will be In no way ap
plied to do anything which could be justly
described as unfriendly to Great Britain.
Having laid down our arms, and carried
out loyally, as- our late enemies admit,
the ternw io which we subscribed at Pre
toria, we 'made peace in the fullest sense
of the word, and my only object now Is
to try to alleviate, aa much as In my
power lies, the misery in which my coun
trymen find, themselves after a war that
has entlrsly ruined .them and made thou
sands of widows and orphans who have
no- means of livelihood, so that my people
may be restored to happiness and con
tentment In the countries which are theirs
and my only home.
"I em the more thankful and moro
grateful, to you for your generous gift
as It Immediately contributes so largely
to make thousands of unhappy people
happier, and will gladden so many hearts.
Your generosity will always" be most
thankfully remembered by me and all
those who are to benefit thereby. In be
half of them, as well as General Delarey
and myself, I tender you our deepest
thanks, and may the Lord reward you."
For Third Trnstee.
General Botha suggested that, besides
himself and General Delarey, whom Mr.
Phipps appoints to disburse the funds, the
third trustee should be chosen from
among J. Rose-Innlae, ' Attorney-General
of the Transvaal; Sir Richard Solomon,
legal adviser of the Transvaal administra
tion, and Major Sir Hamilton Gould-
Adams, Lleutenant-Genexal of the Orange
River Colony.
Attached to thocorrespondence Is a let
ter from Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
to Arnold White, saying that, as he un
derstands Mr. Phipps . gift Is purely
philanthropic, he will be willing to render
any assistance In his power to secure its
proper administration, even though the
fund Is confined' to assisting the Boers.
Mr. Chamberlain points out that the fund
only would appeal more strongly to Eng
llsh sympathy If itsobject was to assist
an tne widows ana orpnans who nave suf
fered through the war. without distinc
tion of race or politics.
It is also said that Mr. Lehman, pub
lisher of the memoirs of ex-President
Kruger, has given Mr. Kruger $150,000 to
be devoted entirely to the Boer funds.
Mr. Phipps sailed for New York today
from Southampton on the steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse.

BOERS APPEAL TO WORLD.
Turned Dovrn by Britain, They Ask
Financial Aid of Other Nations'.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 24. The Boer Gen
erals, Botha, Dewet and Delarey, have
issued a manifesto In the shape of an
appeal to tne civilized world, unis docu
ment recalls how, after the terrible
struggle In South Africa, and the Boers
were compelled to accept the British
terms of peace, the Generals were com
missioned to proceed to England, appeal
to the new government to allay the dis
tress which Is devastating the colonies,
and In the failure of the mission to ap
peal to the civilized world for charitable
contributions.
Continuing, the Generals says that, hav
ing failed to induce Great Britain to
grant further assistance, it only remains
for them to address themselves to the
people of Europe and America. After
setting forth how sweet It had been,
during the critical days they had passed
through, to receive constant marks of
sympathy, the Generals take this oppor
tunity to express, on-behalf of the people
of the late republic, fervent thanks to
all those who have assisted charitably
the women and children in the concen
tration camps, prisoners, etc.
"The small Boer nation," goes on the
manifesto, "can never forget the help It
received In Its dark hours of suffering.
Our people are completely ruined. It
has been Impossible to make a complete
Inventory, but we are convinced at the
least 30,000 houses on Boer farms, and
many villages, were burned or destroyed
by the British during the war. Every
thing was. destroyed and the country was
completely laid waste. The war de
manded many victims, the land was
bathed In tears, and our orphans and
widows were abandoned. We are appeal
ing to the world for contributions to as
sist the destitute and educate the chil
dren." The Generals repudiate all desire to
inflame the minds of the people, and de
clare: "The sword Is now sheathed, and all

MEXiCO'S CASE AT LENGTH.
Attorney De Lncrotx Rcafions Why It
Is Xot Llnble for PIur Fnntl. .
THE HAGUE, Sept. 24. When the In
ternational Arbitration Court, which Is
bearing arguments In the Plus fund
claims between the United States and
Mexico, reassembled today. Attorney De
Lacrolx resumed the presentation of Mex
ico's case. He criticised the decision of
the previous arbitrators that the only
object of the founding of the fund was
the propagation of the Catholic religion,
and said the founders gave the money to
the Jesuit missions In California because
they knew the Jesuits wWe working to
secure the subjection of the natives In
the name of the King of Spain. When
the Jesuits were expelled, the King of
Spain appropriated the fund in accord
ance with the desire of the founders, and
in accordance with his right. The church
never possessed a proprietary right to the
funds of the religious community.
CounMl asserted that the church admit
ted havjng no right to this money by Its
acceptance of the appropriation decree
Issued by the King of Spain, and adue?
that decrees of the Mexican Government
affirmed that the money belonged to the
state. The treaty concluded at Guada
loupe in 184S exonerated Mexico from lia
bility to America, and the California
bishoprics established under the United
States laws after 1S45 had no right or
claim upon Mexico. Mexican law pro
hibits religious associations from acquir
ing property, and under this prescription
the claim had lost all rights. The hear
ing was. adjourned until September, 26.
