MRS. POTTER SETS"
PRICE ON NAME
Actress Will Sell Her "Trade
mark" to Wife of Former
Husband for $250,000.
London, Jan. 13.Mrs. James Brown
Potter ot New York, who was Miss
Maj' Handy of Baltimore, is apparently
amazed by the fact that her husband's
first wife, the actress, still calls herself
Mrs. James Brown Potter. A few
days ago Charles R. Hon'ey of Honey &
Keith, lawyers, of New York, called
upon Messrs. Wontner, lawyers of Mrs.
James Brown Potter of London, and
said he had come from New York to
call upon them in behalf of the present
wife of James Brown Potter, who
wishes to know if Mrs. Cora Urquhart
Brown Potter could not be persuaded
to use some other name in order to
oblige Mrs. Broww Potter of New York,
as the actress and the New York woman
are constantly mixed in the imagina
tions of ignorant persons.
Tho Messrs. Wontner did not know
who James Brown Potter or the present
Mrs. James BroWn' Potter were, but
they talked over the proposition of Mr.
Honey -with him on a cold-blooded busi
ness basis. They pointed out to^lr.
Honey that Mrs. James Brown Potter
of London has made her name known
thruout the world as an actress that
Brown Potter was practically her trade
mark and that tho she had been his
wife she had nw claim .whatever upon
James 'Brown Potter and desired to
make none.
"Her name," the lawyers said,
"brings her in an income upon which
he lives and without a well-arranged
business proposition, should she relin
quish her name in* order to enhance the
social position of the lady who is now
'the second wife of her' former hus-
band?"
Mr. Honey suggested that possibly
she might be open to inducement. Cer
tainly, responded Mr. Wontner, who
knew his client's views on this point.
"If you want to buy a trademark you
must pay for it. Mrs. Brown Potter
will not call herself Mrs. Cora Jones
or Miss Cora Urquhart or any other un
distinguishing title unless she be paid
$250,000 in cash."
Mr. Honey then' withdrew to consult
James Brown Potter by cable, but so
far no further proposition has been laid
before Mrs. Brown Potter's lawyers.
BALFOUR SURE OF
SEAT IN COMMONS
Interest in British Election Be
comes IntenseChurchill's
Election Is Conceded.
London, Jan. 13.Polling ia proceed
ing today in thirty-seven constituencies,
representing forty-three seats. The
most important contests are at Manches
ter, where the fates of A. J. Balfour and
Winston Churchill, who are contesting
different divisions of the city, will be
settled. Churchill undoubtedly will be
elected, and the former premier's" seat
is now regarded as safe, despite the JFacfc
that the bets of the liberals against him
have increased.
If the majorities of these leaders of
opposing factions are depleted, it is ex
pected that the fact, will largely influ
ence the results in the rest\of the coun
try and consequently interest in the out
come is intense.
In Manchester there-is great enthu
siasm on both sides. In spite of the
rain Mrs. Cornwallis West, Mr. Church
ill's mother, and Miss, Balfour, the for
mer premier's sister, are proving them
selves splendid supporters of their re/
spective candidates in the political fight.
About a score of members were re
turned unopposed in the course of the
day, among them being John E. Red
niond, William O 'Brien, James Williams
Lowther, speaker of the house of com
mons and Sir Edward Carson, K. C, the
former solicitor general.
The results up to the present time
are: Liberals, 10 unionists, 9 Irish
nationalists, 7.

Saturday Evening,
OIL TRUST SETS
UP LEGAL REFUGE
Rogers' Attorneys Argue Bis Im
munity from Missouri Probe
in New York.
New York, Jan. 13.The hearing of
argument on the question whether H.
H. Bogers, vice president of the Stand
ard Oil Co. shall be compelled to answer
the questions asked by Attorney-Gen
eral Hadley of Missouri, was adjourned
today until Monday morningy after
counsel had presented some of their
arguments. Justice Gildersleeve did
not give any decision as to whether Mr.
Rogers must answer.
The proceedings were begun whe
William Y. Rowe, Mr. Rogers1
personan
counsel, said there were three: sides $6
the argument, .that of the state of Mis
souri, Mr. Rogers and the three re
spondent companies named above.
Plea of Missouri.
Henry Wollman, Attorney-General
Hadley"'s New York counsel, described
the conditions under which the action,
was instituted in Missouri, and the
commission was appointed to take tes
timony in New York. He told of Mr.
Rogers' refusal to answer the questions
put to him. He declared that the
Waters-Pierce Oil company and the
Republic Oil company,. supposedly do
ing business in Missouri as competing
companies, were really owned by the
one corporation the Standard Oil
company. He cited a decision' where
it was contended that questions put
were not material and the higher courts
held that it was not for the witness to
determine, and fined him for contempt.
Another issue, continued Mr. Woll
man, was that the main issue was be
fore the supreme court of Missouri and
Bhould be finally left to that tribunal
for determination.
Endless Refusals.
That should not be considered, he
maintainedbecause if it were, wit
ness could refuse to answer for an end
less time. Regarding Mr. Rogers' as
sertion that reporters were present at
the hearing.Mr.Wollman said Mr. Rogers
had not put forward that objection at
the time the questions were refused,
as he should have done.
Mr. Wollman then insisted that the
question concerning the stock owner
ship of Mr. Tilford and H- Clay Pierce
was very material, and also the ques
tion concerningthe ownership of stocks
in the WatersTPierce and the Republic
Oil companies, and whether it was
owned by the Standard Oil interests,
both of which Mr. Rogers refused to
answer.
Up to New York Court.
Judge Gildersleeve suggested that it
was a broad question, and Mr. Woll
man said it was a matter for the lower
court to decide. All that the court in
New York, he said, is to pass upon, is
the materiality of the interrogations.
Mr. Wollman 'said the questions were
necessary and material and that Mr.
Rogers should be compelled to answer.
It came with small grace, Mr. Woll
man declared, for Mr. Rogers to sneer
at the proceedings and at Attorney
General Hadley, who was doing his
duty. If the proceedings were brought
into disrespect, he said, it was Mr.
Rogers who did it.
Oil Trust's Answer.
William V. Rowe then filed the for
mal answer of Mr. Rogers in which he
asserted that the questions are immate
rial, that the question of their admissa
bility is pending in the Missouri courts,
that there is no legal authority for the
hearing which Mr. Hadley has been
holding in this city, and: that the ques
tions were not asked for purposes of
public policy, but to get/notoriety for
Mr. Hadley. It included also some
complaint that photographers and ar
tists were giveto a free hand at the
hearing.
For the Oil Companies.
Frank Hagerman of Kansas City, rep
resenting the three respondent oil com
panies, said the attempt to discover the
stock ownership of the respondent com
panies was immaterial. Attorney
General Hadley brought the proceed
ings, he said, under a legal statute, the
legality of which the respondents chal
lenged. The secretary of the Republic
Oil company was requested to bring the
stock into the Missouri court and the
question was referred to the, Missouri
supreme court o^ determination.
The master before whom the .case, was
tried in Missouri, Mr. Hagerman said,
suspended all proceedings there until
the question whether the stock owner
ship and control of the companies must
be disclosed could be determined.
Ownership Not Material.
Attorney General Hadley then, ac
cording to Mr. Hagerman, came to New
York, and under a New York statute
took testimony and asked questions
along the same line pending in Mis
souri.- Mr. Hagerman declared that the
stock ownership is not material and
cited a decision in Missouri in the to
bacco trust litigation.
Your honor may nave noticed,'' he
said, "that out in that country they
are rather busy with what are known
as trusts."
Mr. Hagerman declared that in the
information presented by the attorney
general no allegation has been made
against an individual stock owner. The
issue is, he said, whether the two com
panies, the Waters-Pierce and the Re
public, operate in Missouri, in oppo
sition to the law of that state. The as
sertion was made by Mr. Hadley that
a producing company has no right to
sell its oil to the two alleged non-com
peting corporations*
Mr. Hagerman said he contended that
of forty-five questions asked Mr. Rog
ers, twenty-five have nothing whatever
to do with the business affairs of the
two alleged offending corporations.
Judge Queries Hadley.
As Attorney General Hadley was
about to begin his address. Justice Gil
dersleeve asked him to state the issue
in the case clearly and added that the
question of stock ownership did not
seem very material in proving whether
the two companies have operated in
Missouri in restraint of trade.
"Do you claim the stock in these
companies is owned by another com
pany or an individual?'' asked Justice
Gildersleeve.
"Both," replied Mr Hadley, "and
I assume your honor bases his question
upon the absolute reliability of the
statement of facts as related by the
other side."
Mr. Hadley went on, to say that the
special master in Missonri clearly ruled
that such questions as those asked Mr.
Rogers are material.
Mr. Hadley's Plea.
Mr. Hadley described his actions in
this case in Missouri and said the issue
is whether the respondents have entered
into a conspiracy for their own benefit
and to the detriment of all others in
that business. -i:

WILDE IS CLEARED
OFMURDERCHARGE
Crookston Jury Returns'Speedy
Verdict and Defendant
Breaks Down.
Speoial to The Journal.
Crookston, Minn., Jan. 13.In* less
than an hour's deliberation, the .jury in
the Wilde murder trial came to a de
cision and brought in a verdict of not
guilty. When the verdict was an
nounced, the defendant broke down
completely.
The charge against Wilde was the
murder of his father-in-law, John Kis
man. by striking him on the head with
a pitchfork.
Fate Bests With Jury.
Special to The Journal.
Fergus Falls, Jan. 13.The Grenberg
murder trial closed rather unexpectedly
today, the defense announcing that it
had n'o further witnesses to introduce.
The state called Dr. Frankforter, state
chemist, and Dr. Wilcox of the insane
hospital staff, in rebuttal, and then an
nounced that it, too, rested. The case
will go to the jury this evening. Judge
Searle will permit the jury to hring in
a verdict in any degree it may see
Dr. A. B. Cole^ on'e of the witnesses,
to refute the claim of the defense that
a man dying from acid poisoning would
show evidences of suffering in his face
after death, gave some interesting tes
timony.
"Death,"'he said, "comes as the
friend of the sick. They may suffer
before they may be in excruciating
agony, but as death approaches, the
pain disappears. It may cease hours
before, or it may be o'n'ly minutes, but
it ceases, and a man dies as peacefully
as he goes to sleep. I can scarcely
remember an exception to this rule, and
I ^iave seen quite a number pass away
in thirty years' practice as a physician.
Barely Die in Fear.
"People rarely die in fear, and there
is only one case in a good many hun
dred where they die in the condition
that gives rise to reports of deathbed
visions. A man dying from poison
might suffer tortures and still show no
evidences of suffering after death, for
as dissolution begins, the muscles re
lax. There are exceptions to this rule,
of course, as, for instance, in the caso
of strychnine poison, where the muscles
are drawn and become rigid, the action
of the strychnine tending to make them
more rigid after death than before, but
this is not true in the case of most
other poisons."
Defense Scores in Pratt Trial.
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 13.Dr. Hews
of Rockwell City, testifying for the
defense in the case of Mrs. Josiah
Pratt, on trial for the alleged murder
of her husband last June, made the pos
itive assertion on the witness stand to
day that Pratt did not die of arsenical
poisoning administered by Mrs. Pratt
or anyone else, but that his death.was
due to a complication of diseases.
In his cross-examination, Dr. Hews
failed to name any disease having
symptoms similar" to those of arsenical
poisoning. Dr. Hews attended Pratt
prior to his death and his testimony
will have great weight with the jury

CHINA FIRED BY
JAPAN'S SUCCESS
Anti-Foreign Peeling Traced to
Nippon's Victory Over
Russia.
Oakland, Gal., Jan. 13.Rev. Arthur
Smith, a missionary in China, Who re
turned yesterday on the Siberia, is vis
iting friends in this city. The mission
ary said last night:
''The strong antiforeign feeling in
China is due in large part to the de
feat of Russia by Japan. The Chinese
are awakening to the fact that they
are not a subject people. The feeling
/against the United States is very bitter
because of the exclusion act. This feel
ing is heightened by imaginary wrongs
and exaggerated descriptions of indig
nities heaped on Chinese in this coun
try as sent home by Chinese in':, the
United States. But China as a whole
has come to a "belief that it is easier
and cheaper to carry on a negative war
against the United States than to at
tack missions and kill'missionaries. The
,country has learned .that where there
is no violence there is no punishment
to follow. This feeling is confined to
the coast cities, however, and I do not
believe that it would be safe for an
American to venture into the interior
provinces.
What the more intelligent of the
Chinese want is that the exclusion act
shall be intelligently interpreted and
shall be enforced only against those
elas*ses whom it is meant to affect.'*

RESGDERS BRAVE
I PERILS IN MINE
Search Party Overcome by Oases
in Attempt to Find Im
prisoned Men.
~"1'
Calumet, Mich.* Jan. 13.Heroic ef
forts have failed to release the^ seven
men imprisoned under ground in the
burning portion of the. Tamarack mine.
Several members of the rescuing par
ties sent in yesterday were overcome
by gases and physicians saved them
with great difficulty. A party of men
went down thru No. 5 shaft, Mining
Captain Maslin being in charge. They
reached, the twenty-ninth level, but
smoke atod gas drove them back. Sev
eral were overcome and were carried
from the shaft bv companions. An
other party attempted to penetrate the
burning portion of the mine, but the
gas given off by burning timbers had in
creased in density and the rescuers
were driven back.
Captain Maslin and two companions
were carried put by others of the party.
Their condition was precarious, and
four physicians at the mine hospital
saved them after desperate efforts.
Brother Attempts Rescue.
An Austrian named' Simonivich, a
brother or one of the men imprisoned
underground, made a terrific struggle
to penetrate the burning mine, wrap
ping clothes about his head, but the
gases were too powerful arid he was
overcome and carried to the surface in
a critical condition.
General Manager Haire of the Tam
arack company last night authorized
the statement that no shafts could be
sealed until every possible effort had
been made to determine the fate of the
seven men in the burning shaft. There
is a powder magazine at the twenty
fourth level and many cases' of dyna
mite are stored
atfire
the shaft, but the
various levels^in
is several hun
dred feet away and there is no imme
diate danger of an explosion.
Make Another Attempt.
Another effort to release the men is
being made todays-Officials called for
volunteers and a searching party went
down thru No. "5 shaft. Gases and
smoke arising from' No. 1 and No. 2
shafts indicate little change in con
ditions underground. Captain Maslin
and the two miners who were overcome
by gas in an attem.pt to rescue, have
recovered.

worry, yet at the same time can see no
reason why he did not at least take
them into his confidence. The Hearst
influence in Minnesota is not dead and
it is possible that the former leader of
the movement in the state is in Chicago
to confer with some of Mr. Hearst's
associates.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13.That Mayor
Weaver has been practically eliminated
from consideration as the republican
nominee fo governor ofclose Pennsylvania, claimr made by a friend 6f
tft
United States Senator Penrose, who as-
serts that as a result of the bitterly
fought ward and district contests here,
yesterday, the senator will control over
70 of the 114 delegates from this city
to the state convention. 1
Tt is stated that John H. Mack, who
has, been slated as the new leader of
the.local republicans to succeed former
Insurance Commissioner Israel W. Dur
ham, failed in his effort to elect a dele
gation from Philadelphia favorable to
the candidacy of Mayor Weaver. Mr.
Durham and other friends of Senator
Penrose claim that, with Mayor Weav
er out of the contest far the governor
ship, the Philadelphia delegation un
doubtedly will be unanimous for the
candidate in the convention Senator
Penrose will favor.
On the other hand, those opposed to
Senator Penrose and the republican
state organization claim that .the dele
gation elected today will be against all
nominees favored by Senator Penrose
and his machine. They assert that up
wards of 100 of the 114 delegates are
not in sympathv with the Penrose gang.
The convention is to meet at Harris
burg on June 6.
The old city organization, however,
is practically out of existence. The con
tests, today were marked by consider
able violence, police interference being
necessary, in several instances. Most
of these disturbances were due to bitter
factional fights carried over from last
night's primaries, at which many ar
rests were made.

i3 a hint of punitive measures on the
part of France, and the situation is re
garded officially as very unpleasant,
with possibilities of serious conse
quences.
This situation will involve the early
departure from Venezuela of M. Taig
ny, the French representative there,
and from France of M. Maubourguet,,
the Venezuelan agent at Paris.
In the event that the request is made
by France, permission will be cabled to
Minister Bussell to look after French
interests.
Relations between President Castro
and Minister Russell are not all that
could be desired. The negotiations re
garding the New York and Bermudez
Asphalt company's claim has failed,but
Secretary Root is determined to ex
haust every method of diplomatic pro
cedure and has directed Minister Rus
sell to take up the Critohfield claim,
which is without complications and in
volves no charge on the part of Presi
dent Castro that the company engaged
in abetting a revolution. This' company
invested about $600,000 in a railroad
and an asphalt plant, under agreement
that the territory was to be exempt
from all except a few" special taxes. It
is charged that about a year ago Presi
dent Castro imposed a prohibitory tax
on the company, in violation of the
agreement.
