Cardinal Gib bons received the suffragist army of the Hudson In audience today and was presented with a. "votes lor women" flag by "General" Rosalie Jones, who also expressed the hope the Cardinal would Join them In their light for woman's rights. The Cardinal accepted the banner, but declined to cnmmlt himself as to the cause his caliers advocated. He as sured them that he felt honored by the visit and hoped they would not find the hearts of the legislators as hard as the ground they had trodden on or the stones they had stumbled over on their long Journey.

The State Senate adopted today a resolution sub mitting the proposed woman suffrage Amendment to the state constitution to the people at the election next April. The measure recently was adopted by the House. . Equal suffrage was defeated at the lection last Fall.

In his statement, Mr. Wheeler goes Into what he believes Is necessary to accomplish actual competition between railroads, and Insists that Joint use of Industrial tracks and terminal facili ties is an absolute necessity. He says that where one road controls a short direct route to the exclusion of other lines, but decides to extend a right to use that road to any particular line, it must, "for the benefit of the whole traveling public of the United States, extend the same privileges upon the same terms to any other transconti nental road." Remedies Jnnt Developing;. "The effect of the unanimous decision of the Railroad Commission of Cali fornia." Mr. Wheeler concludes, "Is to lay down the principles to which I have referred. Absence of competition and discrimination in rates naturally give rise to public dissatisfaction. Dis crimination and rates are now fairly under control, through the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Railroad Commissions of the several states, and by the decisions of the courts. "But the remedies which will bring about due competition, on the other hand, are only Just now making their ap pearance, and the significance of the decision of the Railroad Commission of California Is that It blaxes what Is be lieved to be the true line on which the competition problem Is to be solved."

TAX CLINCHED BY WYOMING Wilson's State Excluded From Honor In Constitutional Amendment. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Secretary of State Knox Issued today a formal announcement to the public, that the Income tax amendment now Is a 'part of the Constitution, having been rati fied by more than three-fourths of the states. A close adherence to the precedent established In the announcement of the adoption of the fifteenth amendment resulted In the. exclusion of Governor Wilson's home state from the list of 38 sovereign states which gave life to the new amendment. It happened that the Wyoming certificate legally afforded the exact number of states necessary to make up the three-fourths of the total required to - give effect to , the amendment. It was necessary to an nounce that fact, and although New Jersey and New Mexico came over with their certificates Just two days later than Wyoming, they could not be recorded as having assisted In the com pletlon of this constitutional amend ment.

Japanese, India and African languages. Dr. Patterson was burled today. He was 87 years old and without a family, and had traveled extensively In the Holy Land. "PLOT" BLOCKED, 'TIS SAID (Continued From First Page.) by Charles S. Wheeler, counsel for the Western Paolfia, who opposed the plan Insofar as It applied to California. Mr. Wheeler quotes from the findings as follows: "The essential elements of the plan of the Supreme Court, as added to by the Attorney-General, are: "First, the sale of the Southern Pa cific stock by' the Union Pacific. "Second, the securing by the Union Pacific of an outlet to the Coast over the Central Pacific line; and. "Third, the surrender by the South ern Paclfio Company of so much of the Central Paclfio line as is necessary to prevent the said Southern Pacific Company from controlling a line de signed to compete with the El Paso route. "With the first requirement we (the commission I have no direct or official concern, but we invite the attention of the Attorney-General to the contention of the Western Pacific Railroad Com pany that the syndicate formed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. the Union Pacific bankers, is in effect accomplishing, by Indirection, what the Supreme Court refused to permit to be accomplished directly, viz: The . purchase by the stockholders of the Union Paclfio of the Southern Paclfio stock. Some' Stockholders Control. "It Is urged that this banking house nd the syndicate formed by it are controlled by the large stockholders of the Union Pacific, and that by making the Southern Pacific stock an undesir able investment, the stockholders of the Southern Pacific Company will be deterred from buying, and the Union Purpose of Trip East Declared to Have Been to Protect Inter ests of Aunt. SALEM, Mass.. Feb. 25. William "A. Dorr, charged with the murder of George E. Marsh, a retired business man, will take the stand tomorrow in his own defense This announcement. by counsel afforded the second surprise of the trial today. Earlier they had heard Attorney Charles N. Barney Franklin, admit that his client shot Marsh, though as he asserted. In self- defense. The state rested Its case tonight. It has attempted to show that Dorr came East to kill Marsh In order that bis aunt, Orpha Marsh, with whom he lived in Stockton, Cal., might profit. Mr, Barney in his opening speech dis closed the line of defense. He said It was true Dorr had killed Marsh, but that Dorr shot to protect himself. He also contended that the killing occurred In Suffolk County, in stead of Essex County, where the trial is being held. The purpose of Dorr's trip East, the lawyer explained, was to straighten out the $100,000 trust funds held by Marsh for Miss Marsh and to protect the lat ters Interests. To substantiate this claim the defense introduced In evidence letters from Miss Marsh to Marsh complaining that her monthly allowance from the trust fund was not sufficient for her needs and that the property was being mismanaged.

MINES BUREAU WIDENED All Branches of Industry Recognized In BUI Signed by Taft. WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. President Taft signed today a bill which more clearly defines the functions and broadens the scope of the Federal bur eau of mines. This act Is the first general recognition by the Federal Government of all branches of the mining Industry, according to Renre- sentative Foster, chairman of the House committee on mines and min ing. "The Bureau of Mines retains its original name under the law," he said, but It becomes a bureau of mining, metallurgy and mineral technology and this language representates the wider scope of tho new organization The purposes of the new organization are better to safeguard the lives of the men engaged In hazardous occu pations; to prevent unnecessary waste of natural resources and to aid In the general upbuilding of mining. . NEW YORK, Feb. 25. The United States Government took official recog nition of the claim of Dr. Frederick F. Frledmann to the discovery of a cure of tuberculosis when by the order of the Surgeon-General a physician of the United States Marine Hospital serv ice. Dr. Hamilton H. Foster, was sent to meet the young German physician on bis arrival here today aboard the steamship Kronprlnzessln Cecllle. At the request of the Government surgeon, Dr. Friedmann consented to turn over a quantity of his bacilli to be tested by the Government and to demonstrate the efficacy of bis cure before physicians or the hospital service. Dr. Frledmann, who comes to this country at the Invitation of Charles E. FInlay, a New York banker, wht opes the physician will be able to ct his son-in-law of the disease, declared to night that his remedy was not a se cret and that he purposed to make known "to all the world" the method by which It was created and the man ner In which it was administered. Bacilli Taken From Turtle. It consisted of bacilli taken from a turtle Into which tubercular bacilli from a human being had been Injected, he explained. "I have been working on the cure for 14 years, and In the last two and a half years I have treated from 2500 to 3000 patients." he asserted. "How many I have absolutely cured I cannot es timate, but their number has run into the hundreds. The remedy cures all forms of tuberculosis except such cases as are quite hopeless that is on the. point of death. The process is a slow one, but the first, effects are to be seen two or three weeks after In oculation. The time when an absolute cure can be said to be effected is a matter of months. The method of ad ministering Is 50 per cent of the cure. Million-Dollar Offer Denied. "I want all mankind to benefit by my discovery. I already have turned over some of my bacilli to the German government and I am glad to turn It over to the American Government." Dr. Frledmann denied that he had received an offer of $1,000,000 from Mr. FInlay If he would cure 95 out of 100 patients In this country. He admitted that he was to receive a "substantial compensation" In event he cured the banker's son-in-law, Ray Paris, of this city. I am not mercenary," he said. "All I care about is sufficient reward to enable me to demonstrate my cure to the world." Dr. Frledmann, who was accompa nied by an assistant and a. private sec retary, was met at the pier by Mr. Finlay and taken as his guest to a banquet tonight at the Lotus Club. The surgeon expects to administer bacilli to the banker's son-in-law tomorrow. TO SETTLE BRIDGE WORKERS PLANNING TO MEET CONTRACTORS.

BRIBERY' CHARGE IS MADE Matteawan Superintendent Says New York Lawyer Offered Him $20,000 to Aid in Brlrfgrng Release of Prisoner. ALBANY. X. Y.. Feb. 25. The ques tion has been raised of Harry K. Thaw's competency as a witness in the examination Governor Sulzer's commit tee of Inquiry is making into charges against William F. Clark, its former secretary. Clark is accused of having: used tne Governor's name in attempting to bring about Thaw's release from Matteawan and in turn has acoused Colonel Joseph F. Scott, superintendent of State Pris ons and his immediate underlings, "of conspiring to involve the Governor." Incidentally Superintendent Russell, of Matteawan Hospital, where Thaw is confined, has charged John N. Anhut, a New York lawyer with having offered him $20,000 bribe to aid in releasing Thaw. Anhut is expected to testify to morrow that he did not attempt to bribe Dr. Russell and the committee then will go to Matteawan to examine Thaw. 'The question of Thaw s competency has been raised," John H. Delaney, a member of the committee said tonight. and while Thaw's testimony probably would not hold in a court of record, we are going to-examine him.. The com mittee has Issued a subpena for all those whose names have been men tioned in connection with the affair and we Intend to hear all of them." Colonel Scott made today a formal demand upon the committee that they thoroughly investigate the charges that have been made against his department. Story to Be Told Today. N?:- YORK. Feb. 85. "Everything pertinent to the Inquiry will be told the' Investigating commission tomor row by John F. Anhut. according to a statement issued today by Clifford I Beare. a lawyer retained to represent Anhut at the Thaw hearing. Denial will be made by Anhut, however, that he paid or offered any bribe to secure Thaw's release. Objection to Thaw testifying will be made by Beare, the lawyer said, on the ground that Thaw is "irresponsible." Anhut will admit, according to Beare, . that he discussed Thaw's case with Superintendent Russell, of the Matteawan Hospital, and that Thaw paid him a "substantial retainer fee" In connection with a new court fight to win his freedom. Beare said It was planned to hay Western alienists examine Thaw to de termine his mental status, by contend ing that the Eastern field of alienists had been raked fine in Thaw's previous efforts to be declared sane. Owing to disquieting rumors that got abroad this plan was abandoned; Hayes Kxpeditlon Survivor Dead. BOSTON, Feb. 25. Lieutenant L.
