Tells Why Parr, Sugar Trust
Prober, Was Moved.
AT REQUEST OF U. S. ATTORNEY
He Intimates That Special Agent
Zi Claimant For Fact of Trait
$2,000,000 Penalty aa
Ecward.
Washington, Nov. 10. Tho adminis
tration Is aroused thoroughly over tho
continued exposure of the sugar trust
frauds at the Now York custom house,
Involving as It does allegations that
question the Integrity of persons Im
portant In tho government service and
etrlke at tho very foundation of the
treasury management
James Burton Reynolds, former as
sistant secretary of tho treasury, In
charge of customs and now a member
of the tariff board, gave out a prepar
ed statement In answer to the 'allega
tions made by Richard Parr, deputy
(surveyor of customs, In charge of
weighing at the New York custom
house. Mr. Reynolds made a specific
denial of some of the allegations of
Mr. Parr and a general denial of the
allegation that Mr. Reynolds 'while as
sistant secretary of the treasury was
under the influence of the sugar trust.
Prior to making his statement public
Mr. Reynolds had an Interview with
Secretary of tho Treasury MacVeagb,
who is taking a lively interest 'in the
disclosures.
In his statement Mr. Reynolds puts
forward the suggestion that Mr. Parr
Is angered with him because Mr. Reyn
olds Issued an order that employees
of the customs service shall not be en
titled to receive the rewards provided
by law for ferreting out frauds against
the customs.
Under this order Parr is prevented
from getting a portion of the money
radovcrca Tloia .tbevsusar . fcust io
whlch otherwise he would be entitled
if he could prove that its conviction
of frauds was due to his efforts, and
Mr. Reynolds Intimates that Mr.
Parr's statements to the press are In
tended to call attention to Mr. Parr's
part in the prosecution of the sugar
trust In order that he will stand a
better chanco of getting some of the
reward money. Mr. Parr, he said, had
been for some time a claimant for a
share of the sum refunded to the gov
ernment by the sugar trust, amounting
to more than $2,000,000.
As to Mr. Parr's allegation that
when he became active In ferreting
out sugar trust frauds at New York
Mr. Reynolds ordered him to Cuba,
but subsequently directed him to go to
San Francisco, Mr. Reynolds says that
this action was taken at the request of
former District Attorney Stlmson, who
was prosecuting the sugar trust.
In support of this statement Mr.
Reynolds produces a letter dated Dec.
8, 1008, from Winfred T. Denlson, Mr.
Stlrason's assistant In the prosecution
of the sugar trust, withdrawing a pre
vious request of Mr. Stlmson's that
Mr. Parr be ordered to Cuba to Inves
tigate certain matters connected with
the sugar trust prosecution and re
questing that he be sent to San Fran
cisco to compare sugar entries there
with those Involved in the pending
euit nt New York against the trust.
Another thing Involving Mr. Reyn
olds which was put forward by Mr.
Parr in the way of accusation con
cerned the release of the ship Stra
thyre, loaded with raw sugar, after it
had been seized by order of Mr. Parr,
then engaged in investigating sugar
frauds. Mr. Reynolds says that the
fraud In the weight of the sugar car
ried by the vessel was discovered aft
er the sugar had been unloaded and
that the officers of the vessel were in
no way connected with the fraud. For
that reason the vessel itself was re
leased by order of the treasury de
partment, but suit was filed for tho
recovery of the value of the sugar,
nd judgment was obtained.
Of Mr. Parr's charge that Mr. Bates
was assigned to the sugar frauds in
vestigation in opposition to Mr. Parr's
wishes Mr. Reynolds says he has no
information on tho subject; as he was
In Europe at tho time. In conclusion
Mr, Reynolds denies that his office was
in league with or under the influence
of the sugar trust

AST0E YACHT MISSING.
Fears For the Nourmahal With Colonel
Astor and Hit Son Aboard.
Now York, Nov. 10. The steam
yacht Nourmahal, owned by John Ja
cob Astor and flying the flag of tho
Now York Yacht club, which sailed
from Port Antonio on Monday, Nov. 8,
for San Juan, Porto Rico, has not
since been reported.
Colonel Astor, who has been cruising
In tho West Indies for some time to
cscapa the notoriety consequent upon
his wife's suit for divorce, had with
him on the yacht his son Vincent
Tho yacht was undoubtedly In the
West Indian storm, and the lack of
reports of her whereabouts has caused
great anxloty to Colonel Aster's
friends.
The Nourmahal was built in 1884 by
Harlan & Holllngsworth at Wilming
ton and is of 709 gross and 522 net
tonnage. Her dimensions are 247 feet
over all, 227 feet on the water line, 80
feet beam, 20 foet depth of hold and
14 feet 0 inches draft. Her engines
are of the compound Inverted type,
having two cylinders.
She was originally barkentlno rig
ged, but a few years ago Colonel As
tor had the rig changed, and she now
has three pole masts.
This yacht was built for Colonel As
tor's father, William Astor, and when
tho colonel was married she was over
hauled and redecorated, and Colonel
Astor and his bride spent their honey
moon on a cruise in southern waters.

President Taft Makes Thursday, Nov.
25, Nation's Day of Gratitude.
Washington, Nov. 10. President
Taft signed the following Thanksgiv

Secretary of State Knox:
The season of the year has returned

the people of the United States are wont
to meet In their usual places of worship
on a day of thanksgiving appointed by
tho civil magistrate to return thanks to
God for the great mercies "and benefits
which they have enjoyed.
During this past year we have been
highly blessed. No great calamities of
flood or tempest or epidemic sickness
have befallen us. Wo have lived in quiet
ness, undisturbed by wars or rumors of
wars. Peace and the plenty of bounteous
crops and great Industrial production ani
mate a chjnrf'il ArA-,"!i'o"t peon! o jvll
the renewed energies of beneficent Indus
try and material and moral progress.1 It
is altogether fitting that we should hum
bly and gratefully acknowledge the divine
source of these blessings.
Therefore I hereby appoint Thursday,
the 26th day of November, as a day of
general thanksgiving, and I call upon the
people on that day to lay aside their
usual vocations, to repair to their church
es and unite in appropriate services of
Braise and thanksgiving to Almighty Ood.
NEW FIEE STOPS EESCUEES.
No Hope of Reaching the 384 Men En
tombed In Mine.
Cherry, 111., Nov. 10. Fire, fanned to
fury by the mistaken efforts of res
cuers, consumed what little oxygon re
mained In the St. Paul mine and car
ried certain death to such of the 384
entombed men as may have been alive.
Rescuers were forced from the
shafts by the flames, and the mine Is
scaled at every opening. Seventy-two
hours have passed since the mine was
first closed, and It will probably be
days before searchers can go below.
Lack of water rendered futile the ef
forts of the fire fighters who had ven
tured into the mine. No pumps were
on hand, and In desperation the ex
perts ordered every opening closed.
Panic ruled the miners' families
when they learned of the new disas
ter. Weakened and worn by three
days of heart breaking suspense, wom
en screamed threats and condemnation
at tho workers and called them cow
ards. Some womon threw themselves
on the ground In wild hysteria.

Paddling and Ducking For
Ex-Football Player.
PUBLISHED LETTER RESENTED.
Brown University Youths Take Of
fense at Note Alleging Favor
itism to Fraternity Men
on the Team.
Providence, R. I., Nov. 10. President
Faunce of Brown university is angry
over the riotous conduct of nearly the
whole student body, who paddled and
ducked under the college pump Ver
non B. Bablngton, a student and re
cent member of the university foot
ball team.
President Faunce says that the af
fair will bo investigated and punish
ment meted out
The cause of the riot was the writ
ing of a letter to a newspaper in
which he declared that "the frater
nity evil Is the real reason for Brown's
bad showing on the gridiron this fall."
He bemoaned the fact that the coach
es favored men from sanctioned fra
ternities and gave the cold shoulder to
others who belonged to the less pow
erful organizations or, "worse still, to
none at all."
Suspicion fastened on Bablngton at
the start. He was on the football
squad at the beginning of the season,
but was dropped. He had been over
heard to remark that he had "been
done dirt" and that Gammons had
failed to keep his promise to him after
Brent Smith, the big guard, was hurt
in the Amherst game.
A delegation of seniors asked Bab
lngton If he wrote the letter. He re
fused to answer at first then acknowl
edged that he was the writer and
wanted to .know what was going to be
done about it.
. Bablngton's case, was submitted--to
ittib student body, and the verdict was
that tho accused should go under the
pump, and the quicker the better.
Whereupon several of the biggest men
in college ran across the middle cam
pus and up to Bablngton's room.
Bablngton was overpowered and
carried downstairs, where the multi
tude was waiting in silence. With
Bablngton and his captors leading the
procession moved over to the pump
behind Hope college.
Once close up to the spout, Bablng
ton was offered an opportunity to tell
why he had written the letter and to
show cause why ho should not bo
ducked. Captain Regnler, Trainer
Charlie Hugglns and other members
of the football team stood In tho front
row.
"1 didn't get a fair show on the
squad," said Bablngton in his own de
fense. "I went out to the field nnd
worked every day, but poorer men
than I were shoved In ahead of me.
Gammons promised to put me in the
team after Smith was hurt, and then
he went and gave Corp the place."
"You were chased from the squad
becauso you were not In condition,"
asserted Captain Regnler. And Charlie
Hugglns backed the captain up in bis
statement.
"Which shall It be?" asked the lead
ers, "the word of Kit Regnler or tho
word of Bablngton?" With one ac
cord the students shouted for Kit
Whereupon some one produced a
paddle, and, kicking nnd squirming,
Bablngton went under the spout while
n freshman worked the handle as if
his life depended on it. In about
thrco minutes the thumbs of the stu
dents went up, and Bablngton was
sent off to his room to a ringing fare
well from the paddle.

SHERIFF SHIPP GOES TO JAIL.
together With His Deputy and Others
For Allowing Lynching.
Washington, Nov. 10. The supreme
rourt Imposed sentences of ninety
days' Imprisonment for contempt upon
Sheriff Joseph E. Shlpp of Memphis
and Luther Williams and Nick Nolan,
citizens of that town, who were mem
bers of the mob which lynched Ed
Johnson, a negro, In 1000, and of sixty
days upon Deputy Sheriff Jeremiah B.
Olbson, Henry Padgett nnd William
Mays, the latter also members of the
mob.
The scene In the court when sen
tence was passed was almost without
precedent in the history of that body.
Only once before has the court Inflict
ed punishment for contempt That
was In 1800, when John Chiles of Tex
as was fined $250 for disobeying an
order of tho court by directing the
holders in England of certain Indem
nity bonds Issued by the state of Tol
as in aid of the Confederate cause not
to deliver them up to the state author

Stops Trial of Her Ally In
New York Otoirch.
LETTER COMES JUST IN TIME
Founder of Christian Science Colt
Urges, With All Her Soul,
Union With and Obedience
to Her Authority.
New York, Nov. 10. Mary Baker
Eddy stopped tho congregational meet
ing of the First Church of Christ Sci
entist, after 1,200 members of the con
gregation had gathered to vote on the
proposed removal of First Reader Vir
gil O. Strlckler on charges preferred
by all of the trustees of the church but
one.
The meeting was declared adjourn
ed, the trustees' charges were dropped
without even a vote, and the first read
er, who is Mrs. Eddy's friend and
partisan, was left secure in hiB posi
tion. A personal message from the leader
of the church herself was delivered
to the chairman of the board of trus
tees by special messenger. Tho trus
tees construed the message as a com
mand, and when the first reader
opened the meeting, which had been
presumed to be the crucial test of the
belligerent factions that have split the
First church on the Issue of Mrs. Au
gusta E. Stetson's orthodoxy, Chair
man Hatfield read the following note:
To the Board of Trustees, First Church
of Christ, Scientist:
Beloved Brethren In consideration of
the present momentous question at Issue
In tho First Church of Christ, Scientist,
I am constrained to say If I can settle
this church difficulty amicably by a few
words: as many students think I can, I
herowith cheerfully subscribe these words
of love.
My beloved brethren In the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, New York city, I ad
vise you, with all my soul, to support
the directors of the mother church and
unite with those in your church who are
supporting the mother church directors.
Abide in fellowship with and obedience
to the mother church, and In this way
God will bless and prosper you. This I
know, for he has proved it to me forty
years in succession. Lovingly yours,
MARY BAKER EDDY.
A sibilant catching of the breath
sounded through the body of the
church, and each member looked half
startled at his neighbor. The first
reader was on his feet In an Instant.
"A motion to adjourn is in order,'
said he, "but If it Is passed I will ask
you to remain In your seats until we
sing a hymn."
A gray haired man to the right of
the main aisle put the motion, and
second sounded from several quarters.
The first reader put the question, and
there was a weak chorus of "yeas."
There were no "nays," and Mr. Strlck
ler declared the motion carried.
The congregation Joined full throat
ed In the three verses of Mrs. Eddy's
hymn, then slowly dissolved. Many
lingered about the platform, where an
Informal leveo was held in Mr. Stick
ler's honor. They kept him shaking
hands for a half hour in the church
and then followed over to his house.
Before the congregational meeting
had opened a brief meeting of tho
trustees had been held to consider the
message, and at that meeting It had
been ngreed that the word from Mrs.
Eddy precluded further action against
Mr. Strlckler.
"It Is hardly necessary to add that
the trustees have nt all times fully
complied with the advice of Mrs. Eddy
and will now comply with her advice,"
Chairman Hatfield said. "The charges
against Mr. Strlckler are dismissed,
and as a matter of course tho call for
a congregational meeting on Nov. 23 to
discuss the resignation of the present
board of trustees will be withdrawn."
Mr. Hatfield was asked what action
might be taken by Mrs. Stetson's sup
porters in the First church In case she
should be excommunicated as the re
sult of her present examination by tho
directors of the mother church.
"Even If Mrs. Stetson is excommu
nicated we will all abide by tho deci
sion of the board of directors In Bos
ton and stay by the church," Mr. Hat
field roplled. "Mrs. Eddy's word is
law with us all."
Mrs. Stetson, the deposed leader of
the church, Is now on trial in Boston
on charges of using malicious animal
magnetism, and her excommunication
is said to be a foregone conclusion.

M pi
Court Upholds Indictment Against
Oklahoma Governor.
Chlckasha, Okla., Nov. 10. Federal
Judge Marshall overruled demurrers
to the indictments against Governor
Haskell and others for alleged fraud in
tho Muskogee town lot cases and gave
Haskell and his codefendants until
next Saturday in which to enter a plea
of guilty ot not guilty.
An objection upon which tho court
placed the most serious consideration
was that the 'overt acts were not In
their nature such as tend to effect the
objects of conspiracy. Such acts as
filing for record deeds from tho sched
ule of lots to the conspirators and
tho signing of deeds to a subsequent
grantee are held Insufficient, bnt
tho court holds that the object of the
conspiracy was to obtain title to tho
lots, and when this was accomplished
tho conspiracy was executed.
"Until this was done," said the court,
''any act by one of the conspirators
tending to Its accomplishment was the
evert act required by the statute to be
punishable.
"I am of the opinion that tho fraudn
lent character of the conspiracy did
not depend on the condition of the lota
as to being improved or unimproved.
