COURT HOUSE, HERKIMER, N. T., No
vembcr 24.?It leaked out today that Ches
ler ujutrtie lias ueen examined uy a numwr
of alienists to find out if a defense on the
w trr.iund of insanity would lie feasible. It
Is said that the alienists agreed that Gil
lette was entirely sane. The examination
Chester E. Gillette.
conducted some weeks before the trial
commenced under the direction of the at
torneys for the prosecution.
When the district attorney found what a
trongr eaee he had he expected that, as a
last resort, the defense might set up a
plea of Insanity. Gillette's father and
mother are Dowieites and live in Zion City,
facts which alone might lay the basis for
en Insanity plea in the minds of a Herki
mer county jury. Besides that it is said
there had been insanity amung Gillette's
ancestors on his mother's side.
" In order to be able to combat such a plea
the district attorney employed three famous
? alienists tft makp n f'Y^minatinn f\t
Gillette. The fact that the examination
has been held and Its result was kept a
very close secret. Today, however, the
facts leakt d out and It is said now to be
absolutely certain that no plea of Insan
ity will be put forward by Gillette's at
torneys.
The alienists made every test known to
medical sclencc to determine the mental
condition of the person under examination,

nearly an hour at the close of yesterday
afternoon's session In discussing the tech

The issue at stake was whether or not the

Interest in the case seemed to subside

The prisoner, after a good night s sleep,
appeared refreshed today and showed no

Handled With Care.
Horatio Gettman, the Frankfort under
taker who had charge of the body of Grace
Brown, after It was found In Big Moose
lake, was closely questioned this morning
about caution taken In the removal of the
body to prevent its becoming disfigured.
By John Denio. who drove the team that
took the body from the Glenmore Hotel to
Big Moose station, the defense attempted to
show that the road was very rough. This
was to prove that the jolting the body re
ceived after it was taken from the water
might have disfigured the girl's head. Denlo
swore that the road was smooth and that
the body was handled carefully.
Royal K. Fuller, a New York newspaper
reporter, testified relative to the straw hat
found on Big Moose lake the day after the
alleged crime was committed. He said
there were strings hanging from the hat.
Mrs. Andrew Morrison, whose husband
conducts the Glenmore Hotel on Bier Moose
lake, corroborated Fuller's testimony. She
said that she tore the hanging threads from
the hat and threw them away.
Mr. Mills of the defense, questioned Mrs.
Morrison closely about the length of the
threads.

Electric Freight Car Crashes Into
Electric Freight Train.
Sruvlal riicnotr-h /-?
DETROIT, Mich., November 24.?One
woman was killed and sixteen other per
sons were injured early today when an elec
tric freight car crashed into the rear end
of a suburban electric car near Birming
ham. eighteen miles from this city on the
Fontiac division of the Detroit United rail
way. The passenger car was a theater car
bound out to Pontiac from Detroit and was
wel-l filled. It had stopped at the foot of a
steep grade In front of the power house,
when without warning the freight car, also
outbound, and which had been following
the theater car from Detroit, appeared over
the crest of the grade and dropped down
the 300-foot incline at terrific speed. It
struck the standing passenger car with such
iorce mat it telescoped me car ior two
thirds of its length. The dead:
Miss Hariette Harger, daughter of Charles
Harger, Pontiac.
The injured: Mr. Flemming, St. Thomas,
Ontario, jaw broken; C. F. Inch, Mrs. Ron
ston, Mrs. Hattle Sale, L. D. Burch, C. J.
Kelley. E. T. Beach, Mason Shoesmlth, Miss
Mary Jones, Miss Maud Jones, Dr. Mercer,
Osman Wire. Mrs. Tucker. J. A. Maus. all
of Pontiac; Jack Berry, motorman of freight
car, and David McCtellan, conductor on
freight car.
Physicians were summoned immediately
and it took three hours to extricate the in
jured from the wreck and dress all their
wounds. It is thought that all the injured
will recover.
JAPANESE WAR CLOUD.
Russian Paper Says That America
Must Fight.
ST. PETERSBURG. November 24.?The
Novoe Vremya, which is continually rais
ing the specter of a war between Japan and
the United States, in a leading article yes
terday on the relations between the United
States and Japan., says:
"Although the San Francisco school
trouble has been settled, the optimism on
both sides is not justified. The situation is
quite similar to that preceding the Russo
Japanese war. The race issue cleverly
raised by the Tokio cabinet may at the
proper moment be revived and pressed to
the point of rupture, giving Japan the
prerogative of the attacking side. This
growing conflict of Interests is most serious
because it is inspired by a national ambi
tion to which the United States in future
must either make full submission or meas
ure forces with militant Japan."

DID NOT INDULGE IN SNEER AT
COLORED SOLDIERS.
The case of Col William L. Pitcher, 27th
Infantry, which is In some respects identi
fied with the case of the 1st Battalion of
the 2oth Infantry, Is before the War De
partment again. Inasmuch as the investi
gation of the Pitcher case was ordered by
the President, it will not be acte* upon
by the War Department until after' the
President has been consulted and his
wishes made known.
Col. Pitcher was represented as saying in
a newspaper interview regarding the as
signment of colored troops to Fort Sheri
dan:
"The negro troops would never have been
quartered at Fort Sehrldan without protest
If I was to remain In command here. I
never liked them, and the farther away
from me they are kept the better it pleases
me. For the life of me I cannot see why
the United States should try to make sol
diers out of them. Certainly there are
enough fine white young men in this big
country to make soldiers of without re
cruiting from such a source.''
The President directed that an investiga
tion be made to ascertain whether Col.
Pitcher used the words attributed to him,
expressing the view that "such conduct Is
but little better than that of the offending
negro troops themselves."
in a communication from Col. Pitcher to
the department Col. Pitcher declared:
"I am not correctly quoted in the In
closed clipping.
"At all times I not only refrained from
giving out anything for publication on this
subject, but said to one or more newspa
per representatives 'hat the colored sol
diers were I'nited States troops and were
ordered to Fort Sheridan by the War De
partment. and that I had absolutely no
comments to make, and I made none."
Many oflicers of the army think Col.
Pitcher's disclaimer sufficient and that the
incident is now cioseu, oui mat remains 10
be seen. The President may desire to hear
from the newspaper man or men responsi
ble for the publication of the statements
attributed to Col. Pitcher. Furthermore,
it is pointed out that the President posi
tively declined to accept the sworn state
ment of a single enlisted man in the col
ored battalion that he was asleep in bar
racks during the midnight raid at Browns
ville and had no knowledge of who took
part in it, notwithstanding there was no
evidence offered to contradict the state
ment.
As one official expressed it, tho situation
is like this: "Col. Pitcher has not been
prjved guilty and the colored troopers have
not been proved innocent."

Richest Bachelor in Gotham.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. Novem-ber 24.?Eueene Hie
gins has long been known as the richest
bachelor In New York. His wealth has
been variously estimated at from $20,000,
000 to $10,000,000, mostly inherited from hi?
father, who was a carpet manufacturer In
this city. Mr. Higglns' fortune is largely
invested in this business, but in addition
he has large holdings in real estate both in
New York and Morristown, N. J., besides
being the owner of several hotels.
In the early nineties he was known as a
rider and dTlver of some of the finest
horses in America, and his stables at Mor
ristown, covering over twenty acres, were
renowned all over the sporting world as the
finest o-f their kind in existence.
He was especially addicted to the fashion j
then In its first popularity of driving road
coaches with relays of horses from New
York to Newport, and one season he drove
a public coach from the old Windsor
Hotel, since destroyed by fire, to Morris
Park, without missing a single trip, as
soclated with him at this time was Mr.
T. Sufftern Taller, himself a famous whip.
At the same time he was a great ex
hibitor at the horse show. Landerdale, a
thoroughbred stallion, which he bought In
Canada in 1888. was for several years an
undisputed prize winner at exhibitions
throughout the country. No 1ms than seven
blue ribbons fell to his share, and two years
In succession he won the first prise at the
New York horse show In the hackney class.
FVmnllv famous were Dunder. Rlltzen.
Blizzard and Bluster, the coaching: four,
which carried the '99 horse show by storm
A Good Fencer.
Mr. Higgins' Interest in sport early took
the form of a strong inclination for the foil
and In 1800 he won the fencing champion
ship of the United States. In other "minor
sports" he was also prominent, being an
excellent tennis player, and an adept at
polo.
Everything about Mr. Higgins' various
establishments was on a high plane of
luxury, and for a ume there was nothing
In America to compare with the magnifi
cense of his manner of living. The late
Ward McAllister once said, with reference
to this: "Mr. Eugene Hlgglns is probably
the most luxurious unmarried man in
America."
The richest "bachelor in New York" got
his education at private schools in New
York and at Columbia University. After
his graduation he traveled extensively in
Europe, and formed a habit then that he

every year, always entertaining extensively.

gray.
A Former Romance.
The report of his Intended marriage re
vives an Interesting rumor afloat in the
nineties that he would never marry, be
cause of an unfortunate romance In his
thirty-fifth year that brought on him a
grave melancholia. There was never any
great foundation for the rumor, although
tne names or several society women were
mentioned at the time, but it is a fact that
Mr. Higgins is not a man who smiles over
much.
Mr. Higgins is a member of the following
clubs: The Union, Racquet, Auto, Jekyl
Island, Tuxedo, University, Metropolitan,
Morristown, Coaching, New York Athletic,
St. Andrew's, Riding, Country, Financiers'
and the Now York Yacht-fclnb. He Js also
a member of the chamber of commerce.
For the last year he has been spending
most of his time on his yacht, the Varuna,
cruising in the Mediterranean.
THE PRESIDENT AFLOAT
CONFUSING MESSAGE RECEIVED
FROM THE LOUISIANA.
The Navy Department today received a
wireless dispatch from the battleship Louis
iana giving Its location at 5:30 o'clock this
morning, 530 miles north of San Juan. This
Indicates that the ship bringing the Presi
dent home from his Panama and Porto
Rican visit is making about fifteen knots
an hour, although the message apparently
was mixed in sending and wtfs rather con
fusing to navy officials.
The message was caught at about 5
o'clock eastern time at the Washington

Aitb vjuri nlul uil LUC J^UUl?lUn<l
apparently was trying his instrument. It
is not known with what station he was
attempting to communicate. As near as
could be made out the message gave the
location of the Louisiana as 530 miles from
San Juan.
Either there has been a mistake in the
leaving time of the Louisiana from Ponce
or the battleship is making much better
time than Navy Department officials
thought her capable, and this leads them
to believe that the message was Inaccurate
ly taken. The communication, however,
shows that the President is in the wireless
zone and something more definite probably
will be received during the day.

game here this afternoon was even, but
later the odds were 5 to 4 that Yale would
win and even that Harvard would not
score.
There has been no change made in the
line-up of the two teams, and me only
doubtful place is that of right halfback on
the Yale eleven. The line-up as announced
by Captains Morse and Foster was as fol

Umpires?W. H. Kdwards. Princcton. and Lieut.
W.'J. Hackett. West Point. Head linesman?Uuy
Ayrault, Groton.
The Yale team went into the game with
a slight advantage in weight. The aver
age of the Yale men is about 189. and of
Harvard 1S4. Man for man. the linesmen
are well matched, and the advantage in
weight rests in the baekfield of the Blue.
Late morning advices from the Pequot

doubt of the ability of Kersberg, right
guard, to start the game, because of a bad
kne<;, and Gilmore would probably be sub
stituted in his place.

came on the fle'.d at 1:55. The team Imme
diately went out for signal practice, during
which Veeder and Roome did some punting.

cent one, as the stands were crowded. It
fooked then as if nearly everybody would
be settled in their seats within live mln
utes.
The Harvard team, headed by Captain
Foster, crossed the field at exactly B
o'clock, and the entire side of the stands
rose as one man. and from a mighty cheer
broke into a song. In the signal practice
of Yale, H. Jones replaced Alcott, which
seemed to Indicate a change in the last
minute. The Harvard team took only a
minute's practice, but Burr practiced field
punts.

CHICAGO, 111., November 24.?Gilchrist
Stewart, head of the negro commissioners
sent by the Constitutional League of Amer
ica to tolled evidence regarding the recent
riot in Brownsville, Texas, and the investi
gation which resulted in the discharge of
three battalions of negro soldiers, today
gave out an interview in which he de
nounced the investigation made by Gen.
Garlington and Maj. Blocksom as a farce.
He also sent a telegram to Secretary Taft
saying that he had full evidence that an in
justice had been done, and asking for a full
hearing in behalf of the soi^.ers.
"Investigation," said Mr. Stewart, "shows
that the Inquiries by Maj. Blocksom and
Gen. Garlington, upon which the President's
order was based, were the veriest farces,
the purpose of their inquisitions being to
make a case against the soldiers rather
than to ascertain the truth. Gen. Garling

sharer In its necrophobia.

"He said the negroes were altogether too t
bumptious and needed a lesson. He al- 1
lowed no explanations that would show the t
utter impossibility of the negro examined c
having knowledge of either riots or rioting. ?
He wanted a case and he made It. a
"When the fusillades in Brownsville made I
It dangerous in Fort Brown an alarm was e
given, the garrison was routed and a roll c
call was made. Every man was present J
and accounted for. <;
"Negro soldiers "have not the birdlike fac
ulty of being In two places at once; they *
'were In the fort, and hence not In the town. 1
"The people of Brownsville wanted to get ^
rid of the 25th Infantry, and a fake riot
was organized. The man said to be killed
cannot be found or identified; the alleged
wounded police official is still unidentified,
but the negro soldiers are gone. 1
May Prove Innocence. i
"Tfye Constitutional League will prove the J
Innocence of the soldiers; it will show the C
gross injustice of Garlington's report, and ?
will demand an inquiry into his conduct. e
"Garlington refused to allow any evidence
by non-commissioned officers, showing that
all the men were accounted for except four,
out on passes.
"Only twenty-six men of the entire bat
talion were connected In the investigation,
and those were not allowed a full hearing.
The men keenly feel the Injustice."

dignant over the conviction of and sentenc?
upon Caruso. The action of the authorities
is unfavorably commented upon, and the

Innocent and it Is hoped that the tine will
be remitted.
Fine Not Paid.

lollar fine imposed upon Enrico Carueo.

forkviile police court yest<*rday after he

paying the fine under protest and the
money was about to be passed across the

rushed Into the court room and brought
the proceeding to a halt. A consultation
between counsel and the court followed and

Caruso's counsel today reiterated the
announcement made yesterday that an ap
peal will be taken.
"I saw Mr. Caruso at his hotel today,"
said the attorney, "and had him sign an
application for an appeal, which will be
nsked for immediately, of one of the judges
of the court of general pensions. It Is for
one of them to sign the paper and allow
or disallow the application for an appeal."
Thought Baker Fair.
"Mr. Caruso felt." continued the lawyer,
"that Magistrate Baker had treated him
irery fair during the hearing and that his
character was being fully vindicated. It
was more man a surprise 10 mm wnen ne
heard that the court found him guilty. The
shock was most terrible to Caruso, who Is a
highly sensitive man, particularly aa ho
lad firmly believed the testimony clearly
;xonerated him."
Dissatisfaction was also expressed by tlie
attorney with the manner In which Deputy
Police Commissioner Mathot had insisted
an the introduction of evidence which the
jounsel for Caruso claimed was not proper
nattpr tr? onmo hpforp thf? rnurt- and whi<*h.
