The 24 officers and directors of the Board of Trade, who sur rendered themselves last week when they learned that warrants had been issued by Justice Bradwell for their arrests, waived examination In court, and the charges against the defendants will go before the grand jury If that body sees fit to In vestigate. The accusation Is a technical one to the effect that in the board build ing, which the defendants are alleged to control, certain office tenants have vio lated the law against bucket-shopping. There Is no accusation that bucket-shop ping has been done in any Instance by the defendants. "The matter," said the Attorney repre senting the Board of Trade officials, "has been adjudicated time and again, and there could be little use in the discussing of the case in a Justlca Court which can only give the preliminary' hearing. The Board of Trade has been fighting the bucket-shops, and the bucket-shoppers are seeking retaliation, of course.' TESTIFIES AGAINST AMMON Client of Xevr York Lavryer Tells of Troubles of Syndicate.

Europe's Sea Food Is Poor. Washington Post. "I had supposed that the oysters we got In Europe were not to be criticised, but since coming to the States I have had a chance to m.ko comparisons," said Mr. Edward Townley, of London. "Can dor compels me to the statement that our small bivalves are poor things compared with the luscious ones I have sampled In Baltimore and Washington, and as to flavor, the United States oyster 13 Im measurably superior. "In fact, we have no such sea food In the Old World as the people of this coun try are able to procure In abundance at reasonable prices, lour lobsters, crabs, shrimp, terrapin, fish and oysters are i revelation to a foreigner, and I have wan dered through your markets looking at the display for hours at a time. Indeed, when it comes to food products of all kinds America is away In the lead, and. there Isn't a particle of doubt that the Yankee Nation has a greater variety and higher quality of good things to eat than any people on the globe." Well, Well, WeIH4 New York Times. It Is the conviction of many of the most intelligent students of our fiscal svstera that whit has enabled us to carry the bur dens of our hampering customs taxes, mis called protective, is the tremendous vol ume. extent and variety of the absolutely free trade we enjoy within our own vast territory. And this is an argument which the opponents of Mr. Chamberlain will find extremely useful In combating his scheme for An Inter-Imperial customs union, shut in by barriers against the rest of the world.

Governor of Wyoming? Revives the Famous Forest-Reserve Fiasco. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. June 10. Interior Department officials are somewhat amused at a letter received today by the Secre tary from Governor Chatterton. of Wyoming. In which the Governor undertakes to dictate what lands In his State shall be reserved, and what shall be left open to entry or to grazing. It is a revival ot me uasco m which the late Governor Richards gained some notoriety last March, when he so viciously denounced the administration's L. forestry policy. In short. Governor Chat terton vigorously protests against the pro posed enlargement of forest reserves, and demands the removal of Superintendent Anderson, of the Yellowstone reserve, and denounces "the apparent endeavor to con vert the forests, under the cloak of fores try. Into game preserves." Secretary Hitchcock briefly, but polite ly, acknowledged Governor Chatterton's letter and said his protests would "have due consideration," which means that they will be pigeon-holed. The Secretary. speaking of the afflalr, merely said: "The j Governor is playing politics. Ho recognizes that Chatterton Is at tempting to strengthen himself politically by making a loud clamor against the de partment's action. He has raleed no new issue, however, that was not taken up and disposed of on the occasion of Governor Richards' outburst, and In the eyes of the department Is making himself ridiculous. Cratterton demands the removal of An derson because he is a New Yorker. That is true. He is a man of wealth and takes up forestry as a fad, but he Is a personal friend of President Roosevelt and Chief Forester PInchot. and his record Is en tirely satisfactory to the department. Under these circumstances the protest of the Governor is not likely to receive much consideration. So far as game preserves are concerned. Governor Chatterton's charges are ridic ulous. There Is no buncombe about the Government's forestry policy. Forest re serves are created for a stated purpose In Wyoming, aB elsewhere, and if Governor Chatterton thought he would, by a fierce letter, stampede Secretary Hitchcock and the Roosevelt Administration, he lacks the first bit of actual knowledge of tho men with whom he is dealing.

Woman Gives Daamslns; Evidence Against TCentHCkr Feadlst. JACKSON. Ky., June 10. The third day of the trial of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, for the murder of Attorney J. B; Marcum. was distinguished by the evi dence of B. L. Ewen, the first and leading witness of the commonwealth. The pros ecution Is attempting to prove that White entered the Courthouse while Marcum and Ewen were standing- together, and as he passed them he gave the signal for Jett to fire. Ewen testified to seeing White Just before and after Marcum was shot, anu to seeing Jett Just after Marcum was carried out of the Courthouse. Ewen's testimony corroborated the state ments he had previously made regarding both prisoners, and he withstood the most rigid and lengthy cross-examination, .though he 'was pale and nervous. Ewen said he had never told Sheriff Callahan ahd County Judge Hargls what he had seen when Marcum was killed, because he feared to. He left him undrr the im pression that he did not see Jett. and ap- IIAXXA. pcared to accept and indorse Hargls story o the killing. I On redirect examination, he said that fear for his own safety prevented him from allowing Callahan and Hargls to know what he had seen. This statement. from a Deputy Sheriff of the county, who has lived a prisoner in his home through fear and been under military guard when awake or asleep for several weeks, pro duced a visible Impression In the court. Tonight Mrs. Mary Johnson, sister of the murdered attorney, mado a startling statement. In his address this morning Commonwealth's Attorney Byrd said It would be proved that Jett admitted to Mrs. Johnson that he killed Marcum, Mrs. Johnson tonight confirms what Byrd said would be her testimony, adding that she feared to toll this earlier, believing that she would be assassinated. "As I was returning home after the killing. ' she said. "I was overtaken by Jett. He spoke to me and I said: 'Jett. did you kill my brother?' He replied I aid, but Kargls' money mad6 me do" It." -ne kuu no was going to leave tne coun try." PRISONERS XOW IX JAIL. Thus Ends One of Most Remarkable Marches of Troops in Peace Time. ST.

The troops with their charges are now encamped on the court-house grounds with pickets out in true mili tary style. At several points during the march from Colby men were met who were known to bo friends of the Berrys or enemies of the Deweys. and the greatest precaution was exercised to prevent them wreaking vengeance upon the prisoners. At no time, however, were any advances mado In this direction, and the stories of con filet which were circulated today were creations of the wildest fancy.

SUSPECTED OF MORE MURDERS Eight Other Relatives nave Died Cn- der SasnlcloKs Clrcarastances Effort to Gain Her Dead Broth er's Property Gave Clevr. KALKASKA. Mich., June 10. Prose cutor Smith announced today that Mrs. Mary McKnlght. who has been under ar rest here for several days, has confessed to the poisoning cf her brother. John Mur phy; his wife and baby. A partial con fession was made Monday evening. In which Mrs. McKnlght denied killing the baby. Late last night Prosecutor Smith again called at the womans cell at ner request, and this time she made a com plete confession. In her first statement she aJmitted giving Mr. and Mrs. Murphy capsules of strychnine and quinine mixed. She said: I 'l did not Intend to harm any ot them, did give the baby the strychnine. It i woke up and cried while Its mother was gone, and I mixed up a little strychnine i glass with some water and gave a ppoonluUto the baby. I did not mean to harm the little thlrg at all. I confessed all to the Lord this afternoon, and I feel that he has forgiven me. When Gertrude came home and found the baby dead she got awfully nervous. She came to me and said, 'Mary, can't you give me something to quiet me-rsomethlng that you take yourselfr I said I would, and I really did not think It would hurt her If I gave her one of the capsules. She had spasms right after that. I sup posed that the strychnine killed her. Then John seemed to feel so badly about It that I often thought after Gertie died it would be better If he were to go, too. John was feeling badly one night a couple of weeks after Gertie died. He wanted something to quiet him. I had two or three of the capsules on my dresser, and told him to get one of them. I thought that It would soothe him, and then I thought It would be for the best If he were to go away. He helped himself. Then he went to bed and by and by called me. Mother came, too, and he began to have the samo spasms." The whole of the confession was given voluntarily, and Mrs. McKnlght signed It after Prosecutor Smith had written it. SUSPECTED OF MORE MURDERS. Eight Other Relatives of Mrs. Mc Knlght Died Mysterlonsly. DETROIT. June" 10. Eight other per sons, besides the three to whose murder Mrs. McKnlght confessed today, Investi gation shows have died In the past 15 years under circumstances that. In con nection with the woman a confession, are now thought to be very suspicious. All are said to have shown symptoms that are now believed to Indicate strych nine poison. The persons are: Ernest McKnlght, tho woman's husband; James Ambrose, her first husband, who died In Elm Ira, in 18SS; Mrs. McKnlght, the wife of James E. McKnlght, who was the partner of Ambrose; baby Teeple, Mrs. McKnight's niece; Eliza Cbaker, an other niece; Sarah Murphy, Mrs. Mc Knight's sister, who died at Grayling In February, ISM; a Mrs. Curry, who died in Saginaw.

Chamberlain Is Jubilant. This noncommittal speech and appeal, made with all the eloquence and magnet Ism which Mr. Balfour wields so success fully for an open mind In the Cabinet, brought forth constant cheering. Through out, Mr. Chamberlain sat beside the lead er of the House, beaming with satisfac tion. Sir Henry Campbcll-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, briefly replied, appealing for an opportunity for the public to fully discuss the issue raised. He said one member of the government waa prepared to make a revolution In tho country's fiscal system, a qustlon on which the next general elections should be decided. This appeal elicited no responsS on the part of the government. In the lobby comment was, "Balfour has saved Chamberlain." The Colonial Secre tary, himself Jubilant, said: "Our friend the enemy is nonplussed this time." With the exception of some Irritable comments the Unionist party Is greatly relieved by the outcome of the debate, all the members expressing gladness that the crisis Is passed, at the same time believ ing that the same Cabinet could not long continue to embrace such opposition on the fiscal policy of Great Britain as rep resented by the views of Colonial Secre tary Chamberlain and Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie. It is reported that tha Duke of Dev onsnire, at tne ning s wisn, acted as a mediator and played an important part In patching up the Cabinet crisis. King Edward regards his coming visit to Ire land as of the utmost Importance, and the visit could not occur If Parliament were dissolved. Conservative Opens Debate. That interest In the political situation is enhanced by yesterday's dramatic develop ments was fully evinced today by the re markable, animation and alertness of every body In and about the houses of Parlia ment when the time approached for the resumption of the debate In the House of Commons on the amendment. The answers to the questions not re ferring to the great problem of the day passed almost unnoticed, so keen was the anxiety to get to the all-absorbing topic. Tho debate was resumed by Major Seely, Conservative, who, as a convinced free-trader, 'rejoiced in the repeal of the grain tnx. Sir Charles DllkeJ Advanced Ha Ileal, contended that the House had the right to demand an opportunity for pronouncing Judgment on this important fiieal ques tion. There ,was enormous exaggeration. H-Jn the statement that It was foolish for this cosntr to maintain a $a3cy liiaering from that of -the rest of tfe world. While tke TJsiied States and. Gerrs&ny were reaping ranch prosperity under protection. Great Britain's foreign exports at the preseat moment were equal to the com bined exports of the "United States. Ger many and France, which, considering the enormous expansion of the population of tbetlnlttd -States, was truly a surprising trade. Protection Xatioas No Menace. Tho speaker denied that protectionist countries were cutting out Great Britain from the markets of the world. Germany had not even hurt Great Britain's market la South America, and when one consid ered the great natural advantages of the United States, her size and her highly cultivated population. It was marvelous that she had not years ago attained the first place In the trade of the world. .The commerce of the United States had pro gressed Independently of protection, but it had been retarded Tather than advanced by the adoption of pf Gtectlon. H. H. .Asqulth. Advanced Liberal, who followed, declared that the reason foe the abandonment of the grain tar re mained, an unsolved and Inscrutable mys tery. Mr. Chamberlain had told tho pub lic that the tax did not fall on the con sumer. If that were so. Its repeal was a "magnificent display of International at tachment." as It practically meant that Great Britain was making a present to the United States of the 312,600,000 which the tax brought In. Describing the situation as "politically Indecent," Mr. Asqulth urged an explicit declaration of the collective judgment of the Cabinet in regard to the large ques tions ot fiscal policy, and, turning to Mr. Chaioberlaln. who at that moment en tered the House and sat down beside Pre mier 'Balfour, Mr. Asqulth asked the Col onial Secretary what waa his position In view of yesterday's speech of the Chan-, cellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Ritchie. Wag Mr. Chamberlain a brand plucked from the burning? A backslider brought homo again by the gentle; persuasive Influence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer? Was the word requlescat or the word resurgam to be carved on the tombstone ot the grain tax? He was glad to see that Mr. Chamberlain was still "sitting In the Cabi net bench, although It was quite unpre cedented to see two Ministers on the same bent.h holding fundamentally and irrecon cilably divergent views on a matter which affected more vitally than any other the unity of the Empire Its fiscal and com mercial prosperity. LOXDOJf PRESS IS SKEPTICAL. Balfonr Scored a. Victory, bat It Dee Xot Believe Inane Will Doivn. LONDON. June 10. Mr. Balfour Is ad mitted to have achieved a great personal triumph, one. of the greatest of his career. In the debate In Parliament tonight, but while one section of his supporters In the press are busily seeking precedents in the history of Mr. Gladstone's and earlier administrations for holding opposite views, another section comments on the undeniable weakness of his statements, and pleads as an excuss that he had to escape from an extraordinarily delicate dilemma. Nobody, In fact, believes that there Is any element of durability In the existing situation. "Even should Mr. Chamberlain agree, as It is said he has agreed, to postpone any active propaganda of his views on the country. It lo beyond ajl question." says the conservative Standard, "that his policy holds and must continue to hold the field. His plan must, however, be dis cussed on its own merits, not pressed on the electorate by selfish considerations, such as old age pensions." The Liberal journals are enabled to In dulge In much sarcastic criticism at the expense of the government,' "willing to do anything so long as It may retain office." The Immediate future is held to de pend on thi action of the Conservative free traders, who form a large and Im portant section of the party. Should Mr. Chamberlain or his friends commence any 'active campaign In this country these free traders would become restive and a dangerous situation would arise for the government. The opposition leaders, however, are de termined not to allow matters to remain in the press nt position. The lobby correspondent of the Times emphasizes the difficulties lying In wait for the government, which has to rely on the Irish vote to avert defeat. Split in Cabinet Affects Consols. LONDON, June 10. The split in the British Cabinet and the possible conse quences thereof affected consols, which were put down at the opening of the Stock Exchange today. Porto Rlcan Libel La-rr Too Stringent SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. June 10.
