(iOKS TO CONFERENCE Canadian and Mexican Lines Owning Fleets Not Within Its Scope. I.olM!KS FINAL PLEA lii'imiinci's Attempt of Congress to Destroy American Kail roads. Wimiimiton, Aug. 10. The House io-ii.iv promptly disagreed to the Sen ate amendments to the ranama Canal bill, ami this radical antl-rallroad meas ure ln gone to conference to be whipped Into llnal form. II Is acknowledged by those who are (ipfiiwd to the meusuro that the bill nlll lote none of Us so-called "pro-pr-"jlvc" features In tho tinkering. In fat i, the railroads will be lucky If the till emerges from conference with no more fanes than It carries at present. The House Democrats voted for an aosoltite prohibition against another railroad holding stock In a competing nater line, and the Senate conferees ulll have a fight to limit this pro Mbltlon to ships that pass through the Vun.ima Canal and to leave It dlscrc- mnary with the Interstate Commerce Commission to say whether or not her railroad lines shall be compelled divorce their ship holdings. ' !. the belief, however, that the Houm "tifcrees will Anally accept tho Senate's in ullilc.Ulons of the House's sweeping prehlbitlon. llonae Vlerra Modified. was learned to-day that the amend im 'it empowering the Interstate Com merce Commission to decide whether or :. i a nillroad shall be compelled to u rcc Its steamship holdings was .uly Introduced Int.. the Senate as a -.l-ans of preventing the adoption of the nuicnl Houte provision absolutely pro h itlng ownership of a competing Irsmshlp line by a railroad. This amendment. It developed lo-day. was drawn by Senator Hoot of New York, although Introduced by Senator .irti" of Oregon. The opponents of if Mouse provision fell back on this ur.ir.dment as the only meanH of pre- on'inir the adoption of the radical pro lamine proposed by the House. The practical result has been to shut t..- I unama Canal to steamships owned bv tl,.- Southern Pacific Railroad, but i s-ae thu steamship holdings of the : v ork. New Haven and Hartford. H New Vork Central and other roads .nit ilu not use the canal provided such InMlni.-. shall not be condemned by the iati-rtate Commerce Commission.

There was more or less haziness In tf.'

The men who are 1 'ir ihh amendment say Its present O'lilms is unsatisfactory and that It " 1 changed in conference so as to twi.' i? purpose more explicit.

Gen, Saint Jaat Likely to Demand the Prraldenrr. Port-au-Prince, HayV, Aug iu. -News that Gen. Tribonien Saint Just has either started or is just about to start for Port-au-Prince to claim the Presidency of Hayti, bringinR with him a big party of followers who have been in exile in Jamaica sinoe the lato Gen. Iconte became President, caused a panic here to-day. Saint Just cannot become President without displacing Gen. Auguste, tho Haytian Congress choice au Leconte's successor, and Augusto will not give up without fighting. He counts on the army to support him, but it is said many of tho soldiers favor Saint Just. Reports have it that the Dominican Government is preparing a demand for explanation of Haytl's alleged activity in stirring up a revolution in Santo Do mingo.

ROSE TOLD TO END LIFE His Confession Followed a Hint That He Commit Suicide. TREACHERY OF THE RING Attorney Sullivan Points Out Confirmation of Ton Statements. Hot Hitumis, Ark.. Aug. 10. 111 and without funds a man who said he was Samuel Schepps, wanted In connection with the murder of Herman Rosenthal In New York, was arrested here to night by detectives, presumably from tho office of District Attorney Whit man of New York. The detectives say he Is wanted as an actual accessory to the murder, but de cline to discuss the case further. They are w-alttng at a local hotel for other representatives of District Attorney Whitman, when Schepps will be taken back to New York without extradition papers, he having waived that right. t Is said he has expressed a desire to confess In full, If a safe escort to New York Is promised him. Tho man has been here several days and has been known as Samuel Frank lin. Another alias Is said to be "De troit Red," although to the few gam blers In the city at present he was not known by any alias. The suspect owes his capture to the lid which has been clamped down tight here for the last year. "There Is no gambling here," he said, "there are no gamblers here. Hot Springs Js not the Hot Springs of old. I couldn't make enough to get by on. I knew no one from whom I could make a raise. I became slk and am willing to go back, it looks like the easiest way out." The New York police said last night that they had not received any word of the arrest of Samuel Schepps In Hot Springs, Ark. ROSE TOLD TO END HIS LIFE. Hint Followed Third Appeal for Protection. The true story of what drove Jack Rose to the confession that put Lieut, r cker in the Tombs charged with the murder of Herman Rosenthal Is told here for the first time. It was the reply, whispered to him on the afternoon of July 25 In the counsel room of the Tombs, to the third message he had sent to a police ofTlclal asking whether he could rely on Decker's prom ises of protection. This wb the answer to his final appeal: "Tho best thing for you to do Is to kill yourself." That advice pent to Rose one week after he had surrendered was a' plain Intimation that he was to be left to shift for himself. So Rose, who had been hoping against hope, agreed then to the persuasions of his lawyer, James M. Sullivan, nnd sent Sullivan to District Attorney Whitman. The District Attorney, who was at the Equinox Hotel In Manchester, Vt, last night, knows tne name of the police of ficial upon whom Lieut. Hecker and Rose hod been relying. This man's name Is known to Mr. Whitman, to Rose's lawyer, Sullivan, and to Max D. Steuer, counsel for Brldglo Webber. No feature of a crime whleh almost dally has produced new and extraordi nary developments was more Interest ing than the story of Rose's wavering and vacillation and his determination after tho sulcldo hint to throw himself on the mercy of the District Attorney. Impretard lir Becker. As he tells It, he had seen the power of Lieut. Becker grow surely and steadily. He had seen Decker treat with contempt officials higher In rank than himself. Uecker hud dinned his ears with brags and boasts that there was nothing the commander of the strong arm squad could not do In the Police Department. He had been hyp notized by Rocker. Uecker had made him an errand boy. If grafting was so safe, why not murder? So Rose took the pollco view that nobody cared a whit as to what happened to a gambler, a man outside the law. Rose, with Uecker, had the notion that there would be a sort of an In vestigation, but that the hue and cry would speedily die away. It was on Thursday, July IV at 9 A. M. that he gave himself up against the advice of the lieutenant. He slipped from Becker's leash because his sus picions had been aroused by tho visit of Lawyer Hart and Decker's desire to get an affidavit that would white wash Becker. Rose surmised thjMi that he was to bo made tho scapegoat. He foil In his heart that he was to be deserted. He tried to believe that Uecker would make good In protecting him, but the indications were all against It. "I saw then," said Rose, "thut I was nothing but a shiftless gambler, who didn't count for much any wuy you look at It. 1 saw that nobody would believe my story. I felt that thoy wero going to put the whole crime on mo If they could. Uut I wanted to make sure. I wanted to give thorn every chance," The duy he was arrested hn put him self In the hands of James M. Sulli van, who had U-en his lawyer before. Continued on Fourth i'agv. SPRINGS?

WALL STREET DISTRICT Suit! to Bo Due, Possibly, to Hottled Spring Water Used In Offices. ONE DEATH IS REPORTED Board of Health Reports Less Fever in City Than Usual at This Time of Year. A mild epidemic of typhoid fever has been reported from the financial district within the last week or so and has led to nn Inquiry in the banks, brokerage and law offices and business concerns. In certain cases the fever has been at tributed to the use1 of a brand ot bot tled spring water, and has led to the substitution of filtered Croton water in some offices. An Investigation yesterday that cov ered only a few banks and brokerage oftlces disclosed eight cases and one death.

The highest diplomatic significance Is attached to the announcement mnde by President Tr.ft at the Wihte House this afternoon Hint Secretary of State Knox will go to Jupan as the representative of the President nt the funeral ceremonies for tin- late Kmperor Mutsuhlto. In 'his announcement President Taft indicated that he regards the forth coming Knox mission on a level ot Importance with the famous visit of Commodore Perry to Japan more than half u century ago, which resulted In the opening up of Japan to Intercourse with the nations of the Western world and the Influx of Western civilization. Secretary Knox, uccompanlcd by Mrs. Knox, will leave Washington August 15, which Is next Thursday. He will proceed to Seattle, Wash., and there board un armored cruiser of the United States navy which will convey him to Julian. I'.unbford S. Miller, chief of the divi sion of Fur Eastern affairs of the State Department, will act as secretary of the mission. Mr. Miller has lived more thiiu twenty years In the Orient, speaks Chinese and Japanese and Is the State Department expert on affairs of tho Far Fast. An Admiral of the navy and a Generul of the army, neither of whom has yet been selected, will ac company the Secretary as aides. Three Days for Funeral. Secretary Knox will arrive In Japan In time for the funeral ceremonies, which begin on September 13 and con tinue for three days, first at Toklo ana then at Kyoto, the ancient capital. He will leave Jupan soon after tho final ceremonials and return to the United States, with probable atops at Manila nnd Honolulu. President Tnft states In his announce ment of the Knox special mission to Japun thut It was decided upon to "mark the cordial relations that have, existed between the United States and ' Japan from the time of Admiral Perry and Townsend Harris continuously through the long reign of the lato Umperor." Itehlnd this general statement It Is well understood here that there Is a host of considerations which arc largely responsible for the President's decision , to send his Secrutury of State half l way around the world. These considerations are wholly aside from the tltness of sending a special j envoy to Japan at tho close of the reign of the Emperor who brought his country Into the full light of tho West ern world. They are quite apart too ! from tin- fact of President Taft's real personal regard for the late Mutsuhlto. i Mil to Remove .Mlna. I Among other things It Is hoped that Mr, Knox's visit will serve to remove I whatever sting Japan hus found In the , Mugdnlcna Uay Incident and Its re sultant "Lodge resolution" and In tho recent agitation In this country over the manner In which Japan has con ducted the trial of several Corean Christians accused of conspiracy. Uoth of those Incidents, especially the latter, were the source of considerable Irritation nnd embarrassment at the State Department, embarrassing be cause they were regarded as unneces-, sary and unpleasant Insinuations against' Japan. , It Is well known that the Japanese as a people are peculiarly responsive to attention and recognition from the Western nations. Thoso hero ac quainted with the Japanese predict that the President's act In sending Mr. Knox as special envoy will awaken the warm est feelings of gratitude among the Japanese. The Knox mission should take Un place, It Is predicted, as one of the most notnlile nets of International friendship over performed by an Ameri can President nnd which will Und great upreclutlon In Japan. The Knox mission will have an even greater slgnlllcance In connection with the Far Eastern situation as a whole. No one ts'lleves Mr. Knox Is going tn negotiate or attempt to negotiate any new treaty with Japan affecting the Interests of that country and tho United States In the Far East, or even endeavor to tiring about n mutual agreemcne between the two Governments.
