Charges Are False.
NO WORD FROM BONAPARTE
w York Prosecutor Will Not Act

Man la Witness.
JvEW YORK, Jan. 2S. Uncertainty ss
to what action would be taken on the
suggestion of District Attorney Jerome
In the cam of the Government milt
against the New York World for libel,
that t!e Federal authorities permit liim
to proceed In their stead, was In a mea
sure removed today Iy the signing of
an affidavit by Douglas Robinson,
brother-in-law of the President.
It Is believed that this means that Mr.
Kobtason has accepted Mr. Jerome's
proposition to appear as a complaining
witness and that the county Brand Jury
Is preparing to take the matter In hand.
Mr. Jerome declared, however, that he
had received no reply from either Attorney-General
Honaparte or from District
Attorney Henry I. Stimson as to what
course the Government purposed to take.
Vntil h received assurance tliat such
right of way would be Riven him. he
aald, he could do nothing.
Another visitor received by Mr. Jerome
today was Jonas Whitley, a representa
tive of William Nelson Cromwell. He
lft .after signing a deposition. This la
understood to recite the fact that the day
before the publication of the alleged
libelous article, Mr. Whitley called at
the office of the World and notified those
in charge of the paper that the allega
tions In the article were untrue.

GLUBS DISCUSS CHARTER
JUDGE M G1X-V SPEAKS TO EAST
SIDE CITIZENS.
Delegates Vote to Protest Against
Policies In Regard to Water
and Civil Service.
For two hours Judge Henry McGinn,
chairman of the Charter Commission,
discussed the proposed charter before the
United East Side Push Clubs last night
in the office of Dr. C. H. Raffety. on
Grand avenue. W. I... Boise, presiding.
Practically every section of the 'East
Side was represented at the meeting.
The principal features of the new char
ter considered were the proposed method
of making property pay for all water
mains the civil service and (the terms for
which the Mayor and Councllmen are to
be elected.
Councilman Rushlight attacked the pro
posed method of laying water mains, and
declared it was all wrong, that the people
are opposed to It and will defeat the
whole charter unless It is changed to the
former method of laying water mains.
He declared that the water system
should be self-sustaining and that no
part of the cost of Its maintenance
should be paid out of the general funds
of the city.
Ben Riesland. of Woodstock; William
Deveny. of Montavilla; C. L. Daggett,
of North Alblna; E. F. Moldenhaeur, of
Kenilworth; O. N. Ford, of Mount Scott;
T E. Rice, of Waverly-Woodstock; J. T.
Wilson, of Sunnyslde, and O. B. Cer
teuffer. of Mount Tabor, all declared that
their sections are opposed to the present
system and the one that Is proposed In
the new charter, and said the people will
vote against the whole charter if the
provision is retained in Its present form.
In the matter of civil service, there was
some difference of opinion expressed, but
the majority favored its elimination from
the new charter. Thev would give the
Mayor and Council full power to select
their own agents. Judge McGinn said
that he felt inclined to oppose civil serv
ice under the centralized form of city
government, but so far the Charter Com
mission favored It. He also declared
himself opposed to the four-year terms
proposed for the Mayor and Councllmen.
Judge McGinn said that he had re
ceived new light on the water question
and he suggested that a delegation from
the Federated Clubs attend the meeting
of the Charter Commission and there
urge that the water provision and ine
civil service provision be submitted to the
people separately from the. clrarter. On
motion, it was decided to attend the
meeting tonight In a body and ask for a
hearing on these questions.
The following resolutions were adopted
unanimously:
Resolved That It la the sense of the
United Kast Side Puh Clubs that we ex
press our satisfaction over the reappoint
ment of Dr. C. H. Baffety as a member of
the Water Committee, tender our thanks
to the Mayor for this appointment, believ
ing thut the retention of Dr. Ilaffety In tills
responsible position Is In the Interest of ef
ficiency and economy in the water depart
ment; and further be It
Resolved. That we express our apprecia
tion of the services of Dr. Raffety for the
past IS years in the water department, for
his faithful and conscientious performance
of every duty, for the manifest pride he has
tnken and now holds for the efficiency of
the Bull Run water system, for the per
sonal sacrifices of time and means he has
made In the pnst years for the development
of this siilcndld system without compensa
tion except the appreciation of his fcllow
cltizcns, and we express the hope that he
liiav bn retained In the department at least
until this scond Bull Run pipe line shall
be completed. In that economy and good
work shall he done and that the Interests
of the taxpayers of the city shall be looked
after.

NEW ' TOR K, Jan. S8. (Special.)
Joseph Pulitzer, who has the dis
tinction of being the only man In
the world ever attacked In a Presi
dential message hy name. Is the
owner of the St. Louis Post Dispatch
and the New York World. Ho was
an Immigrant to this country many
years ago and made a small begin
ning In life at St. Louis. lie was at
one time a reporter On a St. Louis
German paper. Later he bought an
unimportant afternoon paper, con
solidated It with another, and
throush sensational Journalism, then
unknown to St. Loula. built up a
fortune. He bought the moribund
World and by the same methods
which had succeeded In St. Louis
made It a great money-making prop
erty. less the United States modifies Its con
tention that the claims of the New York
& Bermudez Ashphalt Company and the
Orinoco Corporation be submitted to ar
bitration. This contention President Gomez con
siders unjust and' out of place because
Mr. Buchanan will not agree to submit
to arbitration, as preliminary points, the
questions of the validity of the judgments
of the Venezuelan courts, the awards of
the mixed commissions, or the complicity
of the New York & Bermudez Asphalt
Company In the Matos revolution.
President Gomez professes to be ex
tremely desirous of reaching a settlement
with the United States, but at the same
time he says he feels that he must pro
tect the honor and dignity of Venezuela.
In the matter of the claim of the New
York & Bermudez Aephalt Company, Mr.
Buchanan has refused to accept the pro
posal to submit to arbitration as a pre
vious point the question whether or not
the company has lost its right to the
protection of the United States, and
whether or not Commissioner Berge ex
ceeded Ills powers in the award of the
mixed commission.
A. 'J. Jawrett, another of the claim
ants. Is to receive a reduced amount with
out arbitration. All the claimants are to
have the chance of reaching a settlement
with the Government before arbitration
is undertaken.

E FOR FOREST BILL
WEEKS MEASURE APPLIES TO
Alili SECTIONS OF COUNTRY.
Carrie Out Conservation Idea and
Applies Forest Revenue to
' Creation of Reserves.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Hopes for the
passage of the Weeks forest reservation
bill are based largely on the character of
the bill, which, while intended primarily
in the Interest of the proposed Appala
chian and White Mountain reservations.
Is atill general in Its character. It was this
applicability of the bill to all sections of
the country and its harmonizing with
the basic ideas of the recent Conservation
Congress that made It possible to get
the measure out of the House committee.
Another feature of the bill which It is
believed will appeal strongly to the mem
bers of both houses Is the provision for
the manner of purchase of these lands.
The new bill does not provide for the
appropriation of a single million from the
general revenue of the Government. The
Weeks bill provides that the reserves
shall be purchased from moneys received
from the sale or disposal of any products
of the use of land or resources from
the public land now or hereafter set aside
as National forests. In other words, it Is
planned to-have the forest reserves of
the country so managed as to purchase
more forest reserves.
The bill provides that the money de
rived from the National forests shall be
reserved In the United States Treasury
as a special fund to be used In the exam
ination, aurvey or acquirement of lands
located on the headwaters of navigable
streams or of those which are being or
which may be developed for navigable
purposes.

Vancouver ferry were badly scared when
the boat, aa It neared the Vancouver

The pipe leading to the steam gauge had
broken. Engineer Brumagin had left the
engine room to seek the cause of the es

In and in his excitement turned off the

This made It impossible for Captain Hay

drifted helplessly down stream with the
heavy wind and current.
The ferry was half a mile down river
before the engineer could right matters
and bring the vessel back to the dock.

ALBANY, N. T., Jan. 28. United
States Senator-elect Root today ad
dressed the Senate and Assembly In Joint

proposition. Mr. Root pointed out what
he believed were two dangers due to the

the danger of the National Government
breaking down in Its effective machinery
through the burdens that threaten to be
cast upon it.
"The other." he continued, "is the dan

of the states. The tendency of
vesting all powers in the central Gov

decadence of the powers of the states."
Mr. Root said he was opposed to the

J. F. ITTSllRST FIGHT
LAWYER KNOCKED DOWN BT
ALISKY BUILDING AGENT.
Attorney Who Resent9 Ejection
From Office Will Face Charge
of Mayhem and Assault.
E. W. Shaver, the owner's apent for
the Allsky building, Third and Morrison
streets, and John F. Watts, a lawyer,
had a fist fight last night at 11 o'clock
in the street in front of the Allsky build
ing. Witnesses to the incident say that
there were only two blows struck.
Watts struck at Shaver, missing liim,
and Shaver struck Watts, knocking him
down. In the excitement that followed
the knockdown blow Patrolman Wanless
appeared and marched both men to the
police station.
According to the statement made by
Shaver to Police Captain Moore, which
was not contradicted by Watts, the
quarrel came about as an aftermath of
the ejection of Watts from the Allsky
building on Saturday night for non
payment of rent. Shaver said he was
standing in front of the building, when
Watts approached and, without warning,
struck at him. This was corroborated
by several witnesses. Shaver was
charged with assault and was released
on $25 ball.. Watts was not held.
Shaver left the police station after ap-
pljlng for a warrant for Watts' arrest
for assault and for mayhem. He was
referred to the City Attorney's office for
the preparation of a formal complaint.
Shaver said:
"I want to put a charge of assault
against Watts for striking at me first.
I had to hit back In order to protect
myself. And I also want to put a
charge of mayhem against him for bit
ing my son-in-law. My son-in-law as
sisted me In ejecting him from the
building last Saturday and Watts bit
him on the finger and on tho arm and
I had to have the wounds treated by
a doctor to prevent blood-poisoning."
Watts left the station without offering
any comment on the ffatr, but assured
Captain Moore that he would be In the
Municipal Court today at the hearing of
the case. Watts will probably be arrest
ed in court on Shaver's charges. Watts
was arrested a few months ago for kill
ing a deer belonging to a neighbor. Dis
barment proceedings were also Instituted
against him at one time.

TROUBLE FOR JURY
Two Jurors Dismissed, One Is
Sick, Rest Prejudiced.
COOPER TRIAL HELD BACK
Ono of Dismissed Jurors Is Arrested
on Charge of Perjury
After He Leaves
Court.
NASHVILLE. Tenn., Jan. 2S. When
the trial of Colonel Duncan Cooper,
Kobin Cooper and John D. Sharpe,
charged with tho murder of former
Senator E. W. Carmack, was resumed
today. jie charges against Jurors
Leigh and Jackson were taken up.
"I have given the case careful con
sideration," said Judge Hart. "The
charge of drunkenness Is controverted,
but it is evident that the juror Is
biased and as such the retaining of
hlin would make the jury a prejudiced
one. Therefore, let's excuse Mr. Leigh
from service."
"I ask that Mr. Leigh be held to the
grand jury on a charge of perjury."
said Attorney-General McCarn.
"If you wish him held," answered
the court, "owcar out a warrant."
The defense objected strenuously to
any action against Leigh, but the Attorney-General
left the room to lssua
the warrant.
Judge Hart then ordered the chargs
against Dr. Jackson, accused of habit
ual drunkenness, brought to trial.
The defense served notice that it
would ask the court to dismiss the
eight men left on the jury on the,
ground that the dismissal of Leigh had
prejudiced the others against the de
fendants. The formal motion to this
effoct wlil be filed later.
The defense admitted that Jackson
was unfit for jury service and con
sented to his dismissal. This leaves
seven men in the box.
The court next read a letter from Mrs.
J. M. Whitworth. saying Juror Whit
worth's condition was such that to have
him serve might mean his death.
The state objected to Whltworth's dl-'
missal and the decision was put off until
tomorrow.
Leigh was arrested in the clerk's office
on a charge of perjury and bound over to
the grand Jury.
