GOVERNMENT EXPECTED TO RE
BUKE SWETTENHAM.
GOVERNOR MAY BE RECALLED
Will Apologize to United States for
Hlo Action In Ordering Amorlcan
Fleet From Kingston Good Rela
tions Not Impaired.
London, Jan. 23. The incident aris
ing from the oxchnngo of letters at
Kingston between Governor Swotten
ham and Rear Admiral Davis now np
pwirH to lie entering the waiting
frtage, as the government, after doing
nil possible in the tibsonae of ndvicos
from tho governor or Jamaica,. Is
obliged to defer further action until
he rcpnrtB.
In tho menntlme the trend of offi
cial sentiment is toward having Gov
ernor Swettenhnm npologlzo or retire,
hut this Is based on tho press nc-i
counts of tho In6Idcnt and on letters,
and it. iriay bo modified by Governor
Hwctlenlutm's version, giving extenu
ntlng circumstances.
In tho absence of a report from tho
povornor to his government, the dis
patch to Secretary Root, republished
hero, tends further to mysliry tho pub
lic mind, finding it difficult to recon
cile tho governor's present recogni
tion of the assistance rendered by
the Amorlcan squadron with lite terras
of his previous letter.

jmhlitution In tho Dally Telegraph of
Governor Siwc-ttcuhum's letter to Rear
Admiral .Davis has greatly Intensified
tho resentment of the residents
ngalust tho governor for rebuffing the
tenders of American assistance, and
there Is a movement on foot hero to
demand his recall.
A small minority, mostly offlclnls,
mpport Governor Swettenlmm, and
their views were voiced by the Rev.
Mr. Graham, pastor of the Methodist
church, who declared that tho govern
or was justified In resenting the laud
ing of Americans.
Tho correspondent of tho Associated
Press spoke to Governor Swcttenham
regarding tho Davis incident. Tho
governor said ho had not Invited Rear
Admiral Davis to land sailors.
Asked if ho indorsed the action
taken by Rear Adlmral Davis, tho
governor replied: "That is a matter
between me and Rear Admiral Davis,
to whom I must refer you."
Tho governor said his reference, in
his letter to Rear Admiral Davis to a
tramp pillaging the house of a New
York millionaire was merely a jocular
parallel.

tenham of Jamaica for the sympathy

icport. from American Vice Consul Or-'
rett. at Kingston, were among tho do-
velopmepts In tho now famous contro-'
vorsy between the governor nnd Rear
Admiral Davis, commanding the relief
tqundron which went to Kingston. .
While Governor Swettenhnm's mes
page is couched in tho most pollto
forms, the lliitish authorities are not
through with the matter. In his letter
Mr. Howard informs this government
that his majesty's government Is
causing ofilclal Inquiries to be mndo
as to tho authenticity of the letter
credited to Govornor Swettonhain.

ting away from Kindel and his a'tor-
licjs, A. .1. Spengel, president of the
Chamber or Commerce, through his
attorney, nskod leave of Commissioner
Pro'tty to intervene. This move at
first puzzled Kindel and his lawyers,
because the Chamber of Commerce
had contributed money to help along
Kindel's art Ion, hut President Spengel
later explained that too much weight
had been given to the question of rate
per ton per mile since tlio Hearing
bogan, and that was not what was
wan'ed by Denver merchants, but in
stead they wanted Denver to lie given
tho same rights, terminal and other
wise, as Missouri river points.

cars," replied tho witness. "Tho price
of cars runs from $1 to $5 a car. Some
weeks the superintendent of our mill
at Tacoma saw a very large car being
switched around. He asked the con
ductor If wo were going to get that
car. The conductor asked him how
much it wns worth to him. Tho su
perintendent said that while wo want
ed thut car pretty bailly, we were not
going to pay for it. Tho conductor
said that It was worth $10 to him,
and we did not get tho car."

Northern Pacific, wanted to find out
the names of shippers who had paid
Tor cais and tho names or employes
who had received tho money.

going Into the matter, and remarked
that that was a matter Tor tho rail
road company to investigate.

tice exists," said Mr. Cannon.
"The commission has testimony
from all
over tho country that the
practice is a pretty universal ono,"
Commissioner Lane said.
