The Injury to ibe arm of Wilbur Wright, the American aero, soUl, iu France has tultca a tarn for iht srnnae Willemstadt, Island of Curacao ( By Cable) The relations between Vene zuela and the people of the Island of Curacao, Dutch West Indies, are strained to the breaking point. Fol lowing a long series of what the residents of Curacao regard as an tagonistic actions on the part of Presl dent Castro, directed against i hem selves, and the Dutch government, mobs gathered In force at this capi tal, and expressed their resentment in an attack upon the home of a Venezuelan who ha. I published state ments in Venezuelan papers deroga tory to the island, and later held vio lent demonstrations In front of the Venezuelan consul, surrounded the German consulate, where he had tak en refuge, and compelled the order ing out of armed troops, so that the consul might be protected from in jury. The demonstration before tho i t-siilenci' of the Venezuelan consul Setior Lopez, occurred late nt nighl, and although no actual attack was made, It Is stated that two shots were fired from the consul's house, no one, however, being Inju.ed. Prior to this, about 10 o'clock P. M., a mob numbering about 1,000 gathered In front of the dwelling of a Venezuelan resldeut, who. It Is believed, had Insulted Curacao In the Venezuela papers; broke down the doors with stones and seizing the man. compelled him to sign a paper which set forth an elaborate excuse for the publication of the statements with which he was charged. The leaders of the populace also forced him to make a public apoiogv from the balcony of his homo, while the crowd below hooted and groaned in accompaniment. Furthermore, members of the'nian's family were compelled to play the Dutch national hymn, while the people below shout ed: "Down with Castro; long may Wllhelmina live!" The police were entirely unable to cope with the demonstration and their efforts in this direction were somewhat feeble. No bodily harm was done to anyone, but the shouting and cheering continued for a time, and then a procession was formed and a march made upon the consul's house. Sunday morning it was noted that there was no shield on the building occupied by the Venezuelan consul ate. It Is not known whether it was removed by the Venezuelans or torn down by Curacao natives. There was a gathering again of the mob In the morning, and when It was learn ed that the Venezuelan consul had proceeded to the German consulate, this building was surrounded by an ever-Increasing mob. The attorney general made a determined effort to quiet the populace, which was be coming more and more excited all the while. A small military force attempted to check the demonstra tion, but, for a time, that was found impossible. It became necessary eventually to call out additional troops, and these at once proceeded to patrol tho streets and stop the rioting.

In conclusion the letter says: "This association stands for a square deal for the carriers. It be lieves that their property rights should be protected the same as tho property rights of Individuals. But we are unalterably opposed to any policy of Ihe carriers which has for its purpose the Ignoring of our courts and the placing of themselves above the laws of the land, if they expect the protection of the laws and the courts, they must show wholesome regard for the law and respect the decrees of the courts. If the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island deliber ately Ignore this solemn mandate of the courts and continue in an un lawful manner to burden trade and commerce among the States by con tinually Increasing rates, the ques tion arises: Is there no power In this land sufficiently strong to reach railroad companies that recklessly brush aside the decrees of our courts?

Proof ef Knowledge of Legal Rate on the Part of the Defendant Not Snb mitted. Says Opinion, and Court Holds It Is Not Necessary for Shipper to Inform Himself a to Tariff. THE CASE IN BRIEF. The Standard OH Company of Indiana was the defendant, the case being brought by the govern ment on the charge of ucceptlng rebates from the Chicago and Al ton and other railroads. The Indictments were returned In August, 1906. The trial began March 4, 1907, at Chicago. The Jury was obtain ed In a day. Several Indictments were quashed by Judge Landis, the United States district judge, who heard Ihe case. There were 1,462 counts and the maximum fine was imposed on each count making the total fine S29.240.000, the largest One ever imposed In history. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Gross cup writing the opinion, finds that the tariff was not published, that tho shipper cannot be obliged to know what the established rate is, that Judge Landis erred In considering each carload a sepa rate offense and that In Imposing the maximum fine he abused the discretion vested In his court. Chicago (Special) By unanimous opinion of the United States Circujt Court of Appeals for the Seventh District the famous case of the gov ernment against the Standard Oil Company, In which the latter was fined $29,240,000 by Judge Landis, in the District Court, must be re tried. The Court of Appeals differs with the trial court on three vital points. holding that Judge Landis excluded evidence for the Standard OH Com pany of Indiana which should have been admitted to show proper Intent in the rate the company paid on oil; that he erred in considering each carlot a separate offense, and that In imposing the maximum fine for a first offense he abused Ihe discretion vested in his court. It is strange doctrine, says the opinion, where under a million-dollar corporation. such as the defendant the Standard OH Company of Indiana may be fined twenty-nine times the amount of Its capital stock In order to pun ish a defendant not even under In dictment. By this latter 1b meant the parent company, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. This opinion, concurred In by Judges Baker and Senman, was de livered here by Judge Grosscup, who wrote the opinion. The concluding sentence of the opinion reads: "Tho judgment of the District Court Is reversed and the case re manded, with Instructions to grant a new trial and proceed further in accordance with this opinion."

WOMAN TELLS Of A DIVORCE PLOT Says Scheme Was To Injure Frank J. Gould. New York (Special). Mrs Ben Teal, wife of a prominent theatrical manager and one of tho three per sons arrested In connection with the alleged plot to manufacture divorce evidence against Frank Jay Gould, the millionaire, was compelled to spend nearly four hours In a cell in the Tombs before bail could be se cured. Great consideration was shown Mrs. Teal in the Centre Street Police Court, where she was arraigned with Mrs Julia Fleming, n seamstress, and Henry S. Mousley, a private de tective, the two others who figure! In the alleged conspiracy. When Magistrate Corrlgan held the trio in $5,000 hail each Mousley quickly found a bondsman, but the two wom en were not so fortunate. Court was kept open until 4 o'clock to await bondsmen, but as non appeared by that hour the mag istrate announced that the women must be taken to the Tombs. Mrs. Teal had to be supported on her way to the prison by Mrs. Flem ing. She was weeping hysterically. Mrs. Fleming seemed to forget her own trouble In trying to comfort her friend. Magistrate Corrlgan indorsed the hallbond papers, eo that in case a bondsman was secured the women could be Immediately released. It was not until 8 o'clock that Mr. Teal succeeded In getting ball for his wife. Mr. Teal did not get a bondsman for Mrs. Fleming and up to a late hour the seamstress was slill a prisoner The examination of the prisoners was a perfunctory one, the author ities desiring further time to delve Into the story of Mabel D. MacCaus lan, a young woman from St. Paul, who voluntarily gave to the District Attorney the Information which led to the arrests. It is alleged that certain persons conspired to have Miss MacCuuslan testify at the trial of Mrs. Gould's suit for divorce that Mr. Gould had been Intlmale wilh an actress. Miss MacCauslan's affidavit, which was made public, declares that Mrs. Teal, In the presence of Mrs. Flem ing, offered her $(j00 and a monthly allowance in the future If she would sign an affiduvit declaring that she had seen Mr. Gould In company with Miss Devoe, an nctress. In Mrs. Teal's apartment. She declares that the af fidavit was to be given to a detective employed by Mrs. Gould's attorneys. Miss MacCauslan adds In her affi davit that it was not true that she ever saw Mr. Gould with Miss Devoe in the Teal apartment. Mrs. Teal, Mrs. Fleming and De tective Mousley were held In $5,000 bull for further examination. Counsel for Mrs. Gould said that he did not know Detective Mousley, had never seen him and knew noth ing about the alleged conspiracy ex cept what he had read in the news papers. The attorney added that II was absurd to think that anyone could have authorized to secure false testimony. Miss MacCauslan, who says Bhe is 18 years old and describes herself as a milliner, in her affidavit says that she went to the Teal apart ment July 16. Mrs. Fleming was present. Whllo there Mrs. Teal asked her if she wanted to earn some money, she says, and upon her replying that she did Mrs. Teal, she affirms, said: "You know that sublet my apart ment in the Glenmore, to Miss Devoe. Now. Mrs. Gould Ib suing her hus band for a divorce, and he has been calling on Miss Devo at the Glen more. The stronger the evidence is ngainst Mr. Gould, the more alimony Mrs. Gould will get.
