Great Britain Takes a Hand. LONDON, May 8. Verbal communlea tlona quite recently passed between the British and French Foreign offices con cernlng the alleged toleration by France of breaches of neutrality on the part of Rus . alan warships in the far east. This was practically admitted to the Associated Press at the Foreign office today, but the officials declined to enter into details on the subject. In the absence of official and definite Information It is suld the verbal communications were unnatural In view of the newspaper publications. From another source the Associated Press learned that Foreign Secretary Lanadowne communi cated with the French ambassador in Lon don and to the French Foreign office through the British embassy at Paris within a few days. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister, Informed the Associated Press that from what he had seen In the papers he believed tho Russian warshlpa were not observing French neutrality. He added that it was not alone the question of the Russian . ships being within the three-mile limit, Japan as strongly objecting to the Russian quadron making a base of Indo-Chtna, lying outside the three-mile limit and re ceiving aupplies from French ports. Baron Hayashi laid stress on the statement that the French government had refused to al low press dispatches to be sent fro in Sai gon and said he understood that to be a contravention of the International tele graph agreement. France Makes Statement. PARIS. May 8 The critical tone of the British press 'concerning France's alleged breaches of neutrality In Indo-Chlna, brought out an cmptutlc general statement today from the Foreign office that the ac cusations are unfounded. . An official said: It Is universally known that the Japanese Intelligence department Is exceptionally ef ficient. Therefore if various specific . breaches of neutrality really existed the Japanese government would have been aware of them and would have presented specific ehsrges to the French govern ment. 6j far, however, Japan's official action baa bevn confined to requesting France to exorcise strict neutrality. u .has noi inuo iprimr cnargea nor have any specific .acts of violation of neu trally yet been brought to ot.r attention. The Japanese government asked in an amicable spirit that we observe neutrality and we answered that we had done anil are doing everything possible to the end. The reports to the contrary, we believe in Kji misrsr-reaentatlons. 1 A aeml-offlctal note Issued thla afternoon aaya: Contrary to the allegation contained In a dispatch from Hong Nung to a foreign agency, not only ha the r rench govern ment not disregarded the rules of neu trality, but, after sending its civil and Military agents very precise Instructions for lue luuiTnuicni wfc iuuw ruin, me ALLEGED WIFE ON STAND Mrs. Flaeher-IIeeh Is Called kr Prose cution In Case of "Bine, beard." CHICAGO, May 8. A novel occurrence In criminal procedure was witnessed today at the trial of the alleged "Blsebeard" Johann Horn. The Innovation consisted In a "wife" appearing at a witness in a case Involving her "husband," the woman being Mrs. Fischer-Hoch, the last survivor, with whom the multt-blgamlst underwent the marriage ceremony. She was called to the witness stand by the prosecution. Before Mrs. Fischer-Hoch was called a number of wit nesses were examined, Including the under taker who burled Mrs. Walcker-Hoch. Frank Sprayne, the undertaker, stated that the embalming fluid used after the death of Mrs. Walcker-Hoch contained no arsenic. Bpeyne's testimony was corrobo rated by the results of an analysis of the fluid. J. M. Schlelsser, employed as clerk In a drug store at Sixty-third and Halstead street, testified that he had frequently sold various prescriptions to Hoch. He identi fied a number of them. In hla direct teatl money Schlelsser declared that none of them contained arsenic, in his cross-ex- mlnatlon, however, he said that one of the prescriptions eid contain a small quantity of arsenic. A sharp tilt between counsel preceded the testimony of Mrs. Fischer-Hoch, but Judge Kersten overruled objections of the de fense. After Identifying a bankbook that she had used and saying that Hoch had asked her to withdraw her money from the bank and turn the proceeds over to him to pay for his house, Mrs. Fischer-Hoch told of going to her home with Hoch When they got to the house they were met at the door by Mrs. Sauerbrock, who said: "Don't go th there, Mrs. Hooh. Mrs. Sohn is here; and she saya that Hoch murdered your sister." "What did you say?" asked the prose cutor. 'I looked at Hoch and said: 'What are you changing color for? If you haven't done anything wrong you should not be fraid.' " "Then what did Hoch sayT" "Why, Hoch said nothing, but sat down on the bed. I Insisted upon hla coming Into the other room, where Mrs. Sohn was, but he refused, ao I went anyway. . Mrs, Sohn said that Hoch was a swindler and had murdered my sister. I talked with her and then went into the front room. but Hoch had gone, and I did not see him until I saw him at the police station." Mrs. Fischer-Hoch occupied the witness chair the entire afternoon. She narrated In detail the flirtations carried on by Hoch with her while Mrs. 'Walcker-Hoch lay dying. "Ha told me," said the witness, "that I should stick to him and I would be a lucky woman. He promised to a tick to me If I would stick to him." "What reply did you make?" asked State Attorney Olaen. "1 reminded him that my sister was not yet buried and that her body waa at that moment lying In the front parlor, and that It was no time for him to talk to me In that manner. He declared that the dead were for the dead and the living for the living, and that his talking to me at that time didn't make any difference." -Mrs. lacher-Hech concluded - her teatl- mony for the day by stating that she had seen Hoch giving her sister a light colored powder in some water two days before her death. She will be on the stand again to morrow. WESTERN MILLERS ON STAND Complaint Is Made of Rates on Corn Compared with Those on Meal. CHICAGO, May 8. Complaints made by millers of Missouri river cities against rail road rates on corn products from Missouri river points and southern Texas were the subject of an investigation begun here to day by the Interstate Commerce commis sion. The assertion Is made that rates dis criminate In favor of the Texas and Loulal- ana millers. C. A. Davis of Kansas City was the first witness. Mr. Davis stated that at Missouri river points there are twenty-one cereal mills In operation, rep resenting an Investment of $26,000,000. He said the mills had been in operation for six teen years, shipping the manufactured product to Texas and Atlantic coast points. Regarding the rate from Kansas City to Texas on cornmeal, Mr. Davis testified that the freight charge on meal was J1H cents to the southern part of Texas. The rate on corn to the same points, he said, was 26 cents. The difference In rate, Mr. Davis declared, thus gave an undue advantage to Texas manufacturers. Evidence of millers, who have lodged complaints against the railways which they patronise in making shipments to Paclflo coast points, was heard aty the afternoon session. These millers, principally located In Nebraska, complain that a ten cent ln crease In the rate on corn products over the rate on corn Is excessive, and shows discrimination on the part of the railways In favor of western manufacturers. E. S, Miller of Beatrice, Neb., waa the chief wit- ness against the railroads and declared that the millers did not demand so much a re duction in the rate as Its equalisation. For the railroads F. A. Leland, assistant general freight agent of the Missouri, Kan sas & Texas; George H. Crosby, freight trafflo manager of the Burlington, and J, A. Munroe, freight traffic manager of the Union Pacific, testified. Their reason for maintaining the present rates was that a greater risk is Incurred by the railways In handling corn products than in carrying the corn, because of the greater liability of damage to the product and loss to the rail ways In paying for the damage.

PASSES THROUGH NEBRASKA TODAY Mr. Roosevelt Wilt Mako n Short Speech at irssd Island Train Will Reach Omaha at 10t30 Tonight. DENVER, May 8. The entertainment of President Roosevelt by the citizens of Den ver tonight was a fitting conclusion of a day of royal welcome, as he Journeyed through the state of Colorado from Glen wood Springs. All the towns along the Denver ft Rio Grande railroad, over which the presidential party traveled, centered their population at the stations to greet tne president ana every evidence or nearly good will was seen and heard. The crowning event came tonight In the form of a banquet tendered President Roosevelt by the Denver chamber of com merce at the Brown Palace hotel. This was. perhaps, the most sumptuous affair ever held In the state, and the president was visibly pleased by the picture that unfolded itself to his eyea as he entered the banquet room. Everything known to the decorator's art was called into use to embellish the commodious hall. The ban quet began at 8 o'clock and continued until 11, when the president was escorted to his private car, "Rocket," where he almost Immediately retired to await his departure for Chicago at 7 o'clock in the morning. Speech by tho President. Promptly at 9:30 o'clock the last course of the elaborate menu was finished and President James S. Temple of the Chamber of Commerce called the guests to order and introduced Chief Justice William H. Gabbert, who acted as toaatmaster. In a brief speech Judge Gabbert Introduced the president, who arose amid cheers and ap plause. Ho responded to the toast, "The Nation." After discussing various questions of in terest, particularly to Colorado, the presi dent took up the subject of railroad rate legislation as follows: I want to say a word as to a govern mental policy In which I feel that this whole country ought to take a great Inter est and which is itself but part of a gen eral policy Into which I think our govern ment must go. I spoke of the policy of extending tho powers of the Interstate Commerce commission and of giving It particularly the power to tlx rates and to nave the rates that It Axes go Into effect practically at once. As I say, that repre sents In my mind part of what should he tne general policy or this country, tne policy of giving not to the state, but to the national aovernment increased suDervlsory and regulatory power over corporations. inow nx clearly in your minas tne two facts at the outset. As with everything else mundane, when you get that supervis ory and regulatory power on behalf of the nation you will not have cured all the evils that existed and you will not equal tne expectations or tne amiaDie, nut m regulated enthusiast who thinks you will have cured all evils. A meaaure of good will come. Some good will be done, some injustice will have been prevented, but we shall be a long way from the mtllenium. Get that fact clear in your mind or you will be laying ur for yourselves a store of Incalculable disappointment In the fu ture, rnai is me nrst imng. Now the second and more lmDortant: Whn vow artver K'sttlm thtt tuiwor. re member that harm and not good will come from the giving unless you give it with a firm determination not only to get Justice lor yourselves, but to ao justice to otners; that you will be as zealous to do Justice to the railroads as to exact Justice from them. We cannot afford in any shape or way in tnis country to encourage a reel ing which would do Injustice to a man of property any more than we would submit to Injustice from a man of property. vvnetner tne man owns tne Diggest rail road or the greatest outside corporation in the land, or whether he makes each day's bread by the sweat of that day's toil, ne is enuiiea to pumice ana iair aeanng no more ana no less. As has been well set forth by the attor ney general, Mr. Moody, In his recent mast erly argument presented to the senate In vestigating committee which Is investigat ing tne matter, tne legislators have the right, and, as I believe, the right of con ferring those powers upon some executive body. It cannot confer them upon any court, nor can it take away the court's power to interrere it the law is adminis tered In a way that amounts to coflscatlon of property. Of course, it would be possl- Die to come mucn snort oi sucn connsca tlon and yet do great damage, perhans Ir reparable damage, to the great corporations engaged In interstate commerce. The power must exist. In my ludirment. If justice is to be done as between the people ana tne common earner, in some govern mental executive tribunal not only to fix rates and alter them when they are con vlnced that existing rates do Injustice, but to see that the rate thus fixed aroes Into effect practically at once. This is Impor tant to certain individuals as to certain industries, and it la important to certain communities. He waa followed by Governor Jesse Mc Donald, who spoke of "The State," and Mayor Robert W. Spear, who responded to the toast, "The City." Senator Thomas M. Patterson then spoke to the toast, "The President" At the conclusion of the speechmaklng patriotic airs were played by the or chestra, the BOO participants in the banquet singing in chorus. Then all surrounded the president and escorted him to his rooms In the hotel, where they shouted 'good night," and cheered for several min utes. Shortly afterward the president and his party were driven tq the station and entered their cars for the night. During the day stops .were made at Canon City, Florence, Pueblo and Colo rado Springs. At each point the president made a brief address to the crowd as sembled at the atatlon. EQUITABLE DIRECTORS MEET Mr. Frlck Saya His Report Will Bo Ready this Month Presidency la Discussed. NEW YORK, May 8. The following state ment was made today by a director of the Equitable Life Assurance society, who was one of those Instrumental in calling the conference of directors for thla purpose: The call for today'a meetina: of the Kaul- table society dlrectora waa issued by somo of the conservative members of the board, who recently arrived at the conclusion that something must be done at once to repair the society's falling fortunes. The confer ence will be in the fullest sense Informal and every director present will be asked to express his views and If possible offer a plan to solve the existing difficulties. it win De a iranK. neart-to-neart taiK. ana for that and other reasons It was deemed advisable not to Invite the executive offi cers. The directors realize that the publlo Is heartily sick of the bickerings and petty Jealousies of these officers. It is not the purpose ot the conference to demand the resignations of President Alex ander and Vice Presidents Hyde and Tar bell, though the advisability of such a course doubtless will be discussed. It Is nosslble that some of the conferees will suggest the names of one or more candi dates to sucwed President Alexander, but reDorts that any particular Individual nas been selected for the position are untrue. About twenty directors were present at the conference, which lasted scarcely an hour. It was called to order by Mr. Sc.hlff, who said that he was not alone respon sible for the meeting, but that many of the dlrectora had spoken to him of the neces sity for the directors' meeting and sJbo of conferring upon the present situation and conditions in the society. Mr. Schiff then set forth at some length the reasons which he thought necessitated a general confer ence before official action should be taken by tho board. Charles Stewart Smith was made chairman of the conference. It was unanimously decided that It would be unwise for the adoption of any resolution before the report of the Investigating com mittee. The only affirmative action taken was that the board should be called together not later than the 81st of the month and upon ample notice, so that directors from a dis tance could arrange their affaire to be present Concerning the absence of Chairman Frlck, a director said that Mr. Frlck had sent word through Mr. Harriman that he was in sympathy with the effort of the con ference, but felt, because of his position as chairman of the investigating commit tee, it might be Indelicate for him to at tend. Mr. Frlck also sent word to the meeting that the report of his committee would be submitted to the directors not later than the last of thla month. The statement Is made that no move waa made at the conference today for the re tirement of either President Alexander or Vice-president Hyde. It waa not denied. however, that the names of several men of distinction were mentioned In connection with the presidency of the company. A suggestion by implication was made during the conference when M. E. Ingalls, after a speech In which he told of the necessity for a speedy settlement of the difficulty urged for the society an execu tive of capacity, a man with business ex perience and reputation. "We must get a man of the size and ability of Grover Cleveland," said he, "if we want to get thi ,Fi (table out of its present predicamer t.sV ALBAKY, N. Y., May 8.

SCHILLER SETS THEM ALL MARCHING Torchlight Parade In Hla Honor a Splendid Success and Is Joined In by an Enthusiastic Throng, i The lhade of Frioderich von Schiller muet have felt good. The meanest kind of a night could not prevent several thousand loyal Germans from seizing flambeaux and helping make up the first torchlight pa rade Omaha has seen in many a day, more than half a mile long. Faithful old men with white beards and spectacles marched side by side with little boys only too anx ious to grab a brand and wave It around their heads. Bands played, the young and old trudged together, composing a solid mass of red, green and yellow flame and the sidewalks were lined with crowds all along the lengthy line of march. All In the memory of Schiller, who a century and longer ago. In playa and poetry, de claimed and preached against oppression and the wrongs of power. Great drops of rain wore spattering the pavement when the German lodges and societies began to assemble In front of Washington hall about 8 o'clock. A cold gale blew that made It hard to hold the flHgs upright and which often extinguished the torches. Overhead sullen clouds hung. but all these odda were as nothing as com pared with the purpose of the event and the memory of Schiller: The squad of mounted police, under Sergeant Rentfrow, that led the procession had something of a time keeping their restive horses amiable while the marchers, each man drawing deeply on cigars, leisurely got ready to mark time. It was a lively scene and somewhat crowded until the word to ad vance, fall in, etc., was given. Then things went with a rush and the rain got ashamed of Itself and flunked. Parade n Great Success. A. F. Mertens, In uniform, was the mar shal of the parade and he looked very handsome on a nervous black charger, but it waa Otto Kinder, adjutant and aide-de camp grandlsslmo, who did the "heavies." Herr Kinder uttered the hoarse words that sot the parade under way at precisely 8:25, and his vigorous voice and energetic pres ence put an end to the fooling. Every man who did not have a flambeaux got one In a hurry and the societies, lodges and bands fell In In their appointed order, Herr Kinder seeing to it that everything wa3 right and as it should be. There were more American flags than fraternal standards and only one semi German flag in the whole procession. At the very pinnacle of the cavalcade rode Julius Schuette, proudly bearing the flag of the republic Though the ' wind blew strong, Herr Schuette refused to confine the folds and they swung open and at times enveloped his grandeur so those on the walks could not see. The other flags and standards were grouped together. Honors among the marching organiza tions wnre apportioned among the veterans. Nouiuun' Juvenile band twenty lade, each under 14 years of. age, who played Ilka veterans; the Omaha Guards In regulation service uniform, and a group of young South Side Turners In grey gold caps, grey trousers and black coats, One thing: was particularly noticeable about the parade the military bearing and tread of the marchers. It reminded one that the ma jority of those in the procession had each once upon a time did a little stunt as sol diers of the kaiser. Age Not n Bar. At Sixteenth and Farnain. streets a portly old gentleman of the Vaterland discovered that there was something going on that he ought to be In. He waited not for flambeau the magic word "Schiller" waa enough, and, hobbling from gouty feet and cane pounding the pavement, he broke into the ranks and Induced a small boy to surrender his torch. The old man waved it above his head and whooped a guttural whoop of satisfaction. The parade went on Harney to Sixteenth, thence over to Leavenworth; counter marched to Cass, around Jefferson square; back on Sixteenth to Douglas, east to Tenth, south to Farnam, west to Eight eenth and back to Washlnarton hall. whr the grand pyrotechnic took place.

Freident Llnlnger of the board wanted to know when the Street Railway company would extend a line to Rlvervlew park and contribute towards band music In Hanscom park. President Wattles oould not give any definite answer to the flrst question. To the second he said It was Impossible, because the street railway company main tains a resort of Its own at Manawa and Krug park and Courtland beach are heavy patrons. To assist in making a counter attraction at Hanscom park would not be good business policy. The board awarded the refreshment privi lege at Hanscom park to W. H. Balduff, who has had It for years, for one-half of the net proceeds, the contract to last two years. William B. Mason bid $600 cash and one-half of the expenses for band music, but the board decided not to attempt to furnish music. Half the net profits in 1904, according to Mr. Balduff, was $69. The Electrlo Light company submitted a prlca of $6.25 per month for arc lamps in the parks. Upon this figure three lamps were ordered for Rivervlew park, three for Hanscom park and one , for Jefferson square. There Is one light already in Hanscom park. ,Xrbraska lalverslty Wis.

MORE WAGONS IN SERVICE YESTERDAY Furniture Drivers and Paint WoTken Jol Banks of Idle Men. THREE MEN ARE FATALLY HURT Biota Ate Fewer, but They Are Sharper in Cbaraoter. INJUNCTION CASES ARE OPENED Jndce Kohlaaat Rnlea that Defend? ants Mnat Testify They Refnae to Do So and May Bo Sent to Jail, CHICAGO, May 8. Both employer and strikers claim gains today In the teamsters strike. The employers declare that they have gained a decided advantage In tha number of wagons sent out and tha amount of business transacted. The strikers' claim Is based on the fact that X0 drivers for tha various furniture dealers In the city will strike tomorrow morning and also 150 paint workers employed by the Heath & MUUgan company. The strike of the furniture dealers' drivers waa foreshadowed on Saturday when at a convention of the Fur niture Dealers' association It was declared that their men must make deliveries irre spective of strike conditions. They today ordered their men to carry goods to tha boycotted houses and the strike tomorrow will be the result. The paint workers of Heath & MUllgan are the first members ot any union not a member of the teamsters' organization to go on strike in support ot the teamsters. They have walked out be cause of the delivery of goods by nonunion teamsters. More Wagons In Service. The State street department stores sent out nearly their complement of dally wagons, and throughout transacted busi ness on almost a normal basis. Fifteen hundred wagons, manned by nonunion men, were operated from State street today and the number will be materially Increased to morrow. No more colored men are being hired either by the State street stores or by tho Employers' Teaming company, and as rapidly as possible those now at work are being supplanted by white men. At the office of the Employers' Teaming rsmpany tonight It was announced' that 125 white men had been Imported during the day from Cincinnati and Kansas City and sev enty-five more had been secured in Chicago. Individual contracts were made with all ot these men and they will be given per manent employment. Three Men Fatally Hurt. The rioting today was of a sharper char acter than that of Saturday. Three, men were fatally .Injured and a number ot others badly hurt, ;Jlhough the number of the wounded is not as a whiJe nearly so large as on some of the daya the middle of last week. The fatally hurt: John Fruen, stabbed. Albert Enbers, shot In the abdomen. Richard Fruen, brother of John Bruen, stabbed. Five others wounded. The majority of the affrays occurred dur ing the early part of the afternoon. The civic commission, appointed by Mayor Dunne to investigate the strike, commenced operation today. It did little but organise for future work, however, and the promise of the successful perform ance of Its mission does not seem to be bright. It has no power to summon wit nesses, and must therefore rely on volun teer testimony. Both Sides Ignore Commlsalon. Tonight the members of the Employers' association declared that they had received no official notice ot the creation of tha commission, and would have no dealings with it until they had been properly noti fied of Its existence. President Dold of the Chicago Federation of Labor declared for the labor men that no one of them would appear before the commission, and give any evidence whatever, unless its ses sions were open to the public, and it In vestigated not only the causes of the pres ent teamsters' strike, but those leading up the strike of the garment workers of Montgomery Ward & Co. last January. It was In support of this strike four months after Its Inception that thai team sters went out In sympathy. The membera of the mayor's commission Issued a statement late this afternoon de claring that they would hold private ces sions dally in the city hall. It was a re nounced, moreover, that no announcement of the proceedings would be made until the healing was completed and a decision reached. The action of the labor men in declaring against the secret feature of the healing practically unlllfled the attitude of the commission as aoon as announced. Injunction Cases Called. The efforts of the attorneys of the labor leaders to prevent their clients from an swering questions in connection with tha federal injunctions granted during the strike by Judge C. C. Kohlsaat proved un availing. When the cases were called be fore Master in Chancery Sherman, the de fendants named in the injunction declined to be tiwo-n on the ground that they might give Incriminating evidence against them selves. Their attorneya declared that the bills for Injunctions filed by the seven ex press companies and the Employers' asso ciation were nothing but Ingenious sub terfuges against which the complaining parties wished to secure Incriminating evi dence against the labor leadera, which they desired to use In the conspiracy indict ments against them now awaiting trial. Extended arguments were made on both aides and Judge Kohlaaat decided that al though a person can avail himself of the privilege of not answering incriminating questions, the defendants must appear be fore Master In Chancery Sherman tomorrow morning and be sworn aa witnesses. If the occasion arose where they did not desire to answer questions for fear of Incrimination they could take advantage of their rights and refuse. The privilege of refualng to nawer queationa waa all that any ona could aak. There could be no poaalbl ob jection to having the witnesaea aworn. Tha 'counsel for the defendant then declared It would be necessary for the court to de clare frequently whether certain queationa were permissible, and Judge Kohlaaat de clared that he would be very liberal in that regard. At 10 o'clock tomorrow the leadera whom the Injunctions were Issued agnlnat will ap pear before Master In Chancery Sherman and the examination In support of th re straining orders which are returnable on Wednesday will be commenced. This arrangement of Judge Kohlsaat was not satisfactory to th labor leaders, how. ver, and Prtsidtnt Uuld ot the Chicago t "" '"'
