BRITISH
GOVERNOR
REFUSED
To Receive American
Aid at Kingston
Been Made a Subject of Cab
inet Discussion
Washington, Jnn. 21. Tho curt
refusal of American aid by tho
British nt Jamaica may lnvolvo Inter
national peace.
The President, Taft nnd Uncon
had a conference on tho Swooton-ham-DnvIs
Incident this morning,
nnd the matter will bo thoroughly
threshed out before the cabinet.
Reciprocal Demurrage Is Almost Certain
to Be Enacted Also FreeJLocks
London, Jan. 21. As a typical
sentiment of the people tho mnyor
of Kingston went to Rear-Admiral
Davis before ho sailed and disclaimed
nil responsibility for tho governor's
action, whom he condemned In the
hurshent terms fo"r refusing Ameri
ca's aid.
Boston, Jnn. 21. Tho -United
Fruit Company's stonmor, Admiral
Sampson, arrived this morning with
25 Americans, who escaped death at
Kingston, aboard.
Indications tire 'thnt a reciprocal
domurrngo law, an antl-freo pass
law, a bank vxamluor law, and an
net to tako the tolls off the looks and
canals at tho Falls of tho Willam
ette will ho passed at this session of
tho legislature. It Is not yet certain,
thnt a railroad commission bill
will be ennctod. It Is not cor
tuln that It would euro the
car shortage, while a strong recipro
cal demurrage law, with stiff penal
(tos that any shipper could collect hi
the naino of tho stnto on complaint
to tho district attorney or attorney
general, would probably answer all
purposes, so fnr as compelling tho
transportation companies to furnish
cars.
Itnlh-oniN Helping legislation.
It must be admitted the railroads
aro helping along tho program of
drastic hitlslutlon that some parts of
the state advocate, through thulr rep
ruseutnttves, Tho advance In lum
ber rntos from $3,10 pur ton to $5
per ton to Hay points has como nt n
tlmo to mnko all tho sawmill men
sore, and may precipitate retalia
tory legislation. It was very unfor
tuuato to announco this ndvnnco nt
present, and show thnt long-ulstunco
management Is fraught with ovIIb
that would ho avoided by malingers
on tho ground. Tho Capital Journal

ply ship Coltlc, which hnd boon or
dorcd to Kingston with provisions,
has returnod to Gunntnnnmo. How
ard, who Is in chnrgo of tho British
embassy, said he wns without of
ficial advices, but, If true, It wns a
most rogrottahlo affair, roforrlng to
tho Swettonham-Dnvls controversy.

work of clenrlnc tho Btreots, guard
ing proporty and Hiiccorlng tho
wounded and sick, culminating In a
lottor to the admiral, peromptorlly
requesting him to re-embark all
parties which had been landed.
Admiral Davis was greatly shocked
and pained, nnd paid a formal visit
to Governor Swottonham today, In
forming him that tho United States
battleships Missouri, Indiana nnd tho
gunboat Yankton would Bail this af
ternoon. Now York, Jan. 21, Kingston
tourists, who arrived today via tho
steamer Baker, expressed no sur
prlso at Sweetenham's action In or
dering Davis' sailors off tho Island.
Max ManguB, on tho island at the
time of tho quake, said: "It is Just
what I would expect of Sweetenham.
I saw him strutting about in "Jack
boots," tho plcturo of absurdity. The
Amorlcans aro doing more than his
force to" right things on tho Island,"
Kingston, Jan. 21. Disorder
ruled hero last night, and great dis
content Is rife. Govornor Swetten
