J r CENTRAL FOUND GUILTY OF GRANTING REBATES TFRDICT BY JUItT IN UNITED STATES COURT AT NEW YORK. General Passenger Agent of the Road Also Found Guilty Charge Against the Road Bused on Indictments Found After Many Months Investigation Counsel for Defendant Declares Re bate Cases Cannot be Defended In Present State of Public Opinion. New York, Oct. 17. A verdict of guilty of granting rebates on sugar shipments was returned by a jury in the United States court here to-day against the New York Central Railway company and Frederick L. Pomeroy, the company's general traffic manager. Sentence was deferred until Friday to permit the attorney for the defense to file motions with the court. In discussing the jury's verdict Aus ten O, Fox, counsel for the defendants, placed the responsibility for the con viction of his clients upon public opin ion. "You can't defend rebate cases in the present state of public opinion," said he. The charge against the New York Central and Pomeroy was based on in dictments found by the United States grand Jury after many months of in vestigation. It was alleged that the defendants entered Into an arrangement with the American Sugar Refining com pany whereby Edgar & Son, of Detroit, were favored by a reduction of five cents a hundred weight on sugar ship ments from New York to Detroit from the regular traffic rates. According to the provisions of the El kins act, under which the convictions were secured, the maximum penalty Is a fine of $20,000. As both the Central and the personal defendant, Frederick L.Pom eroy, are convicted by the de cision of the jury on all of the six counts charged In . the indictment, the total fine for each can be $120,000. WGOVERK-COKBETT GO. One of Bloodiest Battles Ever Wit nessed In Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Oct. 17. Terry McGov ern and Young Corbett fought a hard Blx-round bout at the National Athletic club to-night. When the gong an nounce the close of the battle there was little to choose between the fight ers. The fight was one of the bloodiest ever w'nessed in this city. In the Opening round there was not a blow which did any damage, i t the opening of the second round Corbett rushed and caught McGovern with a ! terrific right on the chin, which forced ' the latter to take the count of nine. - "When McGovern got to his feet he rushed to a clinch and in so doing he butted Corbett over the left eye, open ing a gash from which the blood flowed In a stream. From this round to the finish the fighters were covered wlh '.. --od from head to foot. ""Matters grew worse In the third round. After Corbett had missed three right swings for MpGovern's jaw he finally landed a hard right hook over Terry's eye, opening a deep gash. Both men fere well winded when the gong sounds at the end of this round. The fourth round was decidedly n McGovern's favor. Time and again he would counter to the wind as Corbett rushed In, and an occasional jab to the face opened up the damaged eye, the blood from which partly blinded Cor bett. The fifth and sixth rounds were about even, but there was never a second that the men were Idle. At the pace the men were going it is doubtful if either could have lasted two more rounds. McGovern was weakened by Corbett's blows, and the latter, who carried at least twenty pounds too much weight, was very weary from his own exer tions. When the men appeared in the ring McGovern, looked to be in the pink of. condition, but Corbett, while he looked well about the face, was several Inches too large In the girth. Corbett was the first to appear pre ceded by his seconds, Alex. Greggains, Tim McGrath and Harry Tuthill. Mc Govern folowed with Charley Mayhood, Joe Humphries and John Burdick. When McGovern climbed into the ring he walked over to Corbett's corner and said: "If you whip me to-night, I'll take off my hat to you, but I want you to act square and fight a fair fight." Corbett smiled and said, "All right." The referee announced that the fight Would be straight iMarquis of Queens- bury, the men to protect themselves In the breaks. It was evident from the outset that Terry had a wholesome re gard for Corbett's right, as he did all he could to keep out of harm's way, until Corbett became partially blinded :by the blood. When the bout closed Corbett walked over and grasped McGoern's gloved hand, and thetwo smiled and exchanged courtesies. Norwnlk Republicans Nominate. South Norwalk, Oct. 17.

SAME AS IOCR YEARS AGO, Speaker Cannon Finds Little Difference in Congressional Campaign. New York, Oct- 17. Speaker Cannon caled at the headquarters of the repub lican campaign committee in this city to-day, and had a conference with James S. Sherman, chairman of the committee. Mr. Cannon afterward said: "So far as my observation goes, the campaign is little different from that of four years ago.' There is no great en thusiasm, but it seems to me the quiet of earnest conviction. The people are satisfied with present conditions, and when a man is satisfied he is not very demonstrative. I am satisfied that there will be a republican house to sup port President Roosevelt for. the re mainder of his administration." DR. BROUWER ACQUITTED FOUND NOT GUILTY OF FOlSOti 1NG HIS WIFE. Jury Returns a Verdict in Just One Hour After Retiring Men and Wo men Applaud tn Spite of Rapping for Order Scores of People Crowd About Acquitted Man nnd Congratulate Him. Toms River, N. J., Oct. 17. After a trial that had 'lasted since October 'S, Dr. Frank I Bouwer, indicted for murdering his wife, Carrie Bouwer, by the use of poison, was acquitted to-day. The evidence was all in yesterday and to-day the arguments were made fol lowed by the Judge's charge. The jury retired at 4:25 - o'clock thU afternoon and brought in a verdict of "not guilty" just one hour later. The court room was crowded when Judge Hendrlckson ascended the bench to hear the verdict of tho jury. Dr. Brouwer was brought in looking a trifle pale but showing little signs of nervousness. The Jury then filed into the box and the foreman wa3 asked if they had agreed on a verdict. He promptly replied: "We find a verdict of not guilty." Instantly the court room was in. an uproar. Men and women cheered and applauded in spite of the rapping for order and the court constables had all they could do to suppress the noise. Finally when quiet was restored, Dr. Brouwer was formally discharged. He was so overcome that he could scarcely speak. At this point the applause wag re newed and women waved their hand kerchiefs while scores of Dr. Brouwer's friends crowded about him and offered their congratulations. When the excitement had died down somewhat Dr. Brouwer shook hands with his counsel and turning to Judge Hendrlckson thanked him for the im partiality of his charge to the jury. Brouwer then asked permission to ad dress the jury, and when it was grant ed, said: "I am thankful, very thankful for the way you have treated me, and I hope that none of you will ever be placed In such a position as I have been." The doctor then shook harids with each juror. lAs he turned from the jurymen, men, women and children again pressed about the acquitted man who finally backed up to a wall of the court room and grasped each extended hand as the crowd shouting lis congrat ulations, filed past him. Once free of the court room crowd, Dr. Brouwer was hurried by his counsel to the street, where another crowd that had been waiting, cheered and followed him as ; he walked rapidly towards his home. Passing the postoffice, Dr. Brouwer saw Miss Stella MoCTenahan and stopped to receive her congratulations. As Dr". Brouwer camo within sight of his home his aged mother and his little boys ap peared in the doorway. The boys quickly ran into the arms of their fa- ther, who, catching them up one on ' :each arm, ascended the steps to the house. As his head reached her level his mother threw her arms about the three. A memettt later Dr. Bouwer turned to the crowd which had remained at his heels throughout the affecting scene, and briefly expressed his thanks for the evidence of good will.

QPERATIQNS OF DIVERS SO FAR UNSUCCESSFUL FATE OF FRENCH SUBMARINE BOAT LUTIN SEEMS CERTAIN. French Naval Authorities Practically Abandon AH Hope of Rescuing the Crew Even Doubt Possibility of Raising the Craft Salvage Officers Express Certainty That Crew Hns Perished. Paris, Oct. 17. M. Thomson, the min ister of marine, left here to-night for Bizerta, and the scene of the loss of the submarine boat Lutin, upon the re ceipt of the following official dispatch from Admiral Bellue: The operations of the divers have not been successful up to nightfall. Work has been suspended until to-morrow." The French naval authorities have practically abandoned all hope of res cuing the crew of the 'Lutin, and even doubt the possibility of ever raising the subrnarintj, Bizerta, Tunis, Oct. 1". The officers engaged in the salvage work express tho certainty that the vrew of the Lu tin has perished. Members of the crew of the tug Ishkul, which convoyed the Lutin on her last voyage, declare that the submarine plunged twice success fully and that after she had gone down for the third time her bow showed twice above the surface of the water before she finally disappeared. This leads to the belief that the catastrophe resulted from a sudden leak at the stern. Admiral Bellus la to-night uncertain whether the salvagers have really lo cated the Lutin or not. Divers have reached the bottom, but owing to the roughness of the sea they were unable to remain below sufficiently long to make a thorough Investigation. Four teen salvage vessels now form a cordon around the spot where the Lutin went down. The divers descend in relays, and are displaying untiring energy. All their endeavors, however, to obtain definite knowledge as to the Lutln's position in order to permit tho utiliza tion of the powerful lifting apparatus on the spot have been in vain. The British admiralty has sent a bat tleship, a cruiser and a torpedo boat destroyed, as well as several tugs, to assist in the search. To-night the sea is moderating and the work to-morrow will be continued under better condi tions. DilGDTERS OF POCAHONTAS. Mrs. Clara Wcllmnn, of New Haven, Chosen First Great Scout.

FllFUCH CABINET CRISIS, Recent Fears Develop to Almost a Cer tainty, i PariB, Oct. 17. The recent fears that a ministerial crisis might occur before the next session of the chamber of dep uties developed this evening to almost Ti. certainty. According to Information rcneivea from a trustworthy source, Premier Snrrien has Informed President Fallieres that he did not possess suffi cient physical strength to retain the premiership, his physican having de clared that a further, continuance in office would endanger his health. The president, however, Insisted that the premier reconsider his resolve, and lumbers of his friends have solicited him to remain In office. M. Sarrien finally decided not to announce his res ignation yet, but It is the firm convic tion in well-informed circles that he (Vlll fitvc up his portfolio at the cabinet meeting to be held next Friday. Politicians are now forecasting the probahle composition of a new ministry. It Is considered practically certain that Fresidont Fallleres will request M. Chmenceau, the minister of the inte rior, to take the premiership. This move probably would lead to a redis IriDUiior. of the other portfolios. Another World's Record Broken. New York, Oct. 17.

The steamship Carmellna with Manuel Silveira, the Cuban banker, whose recent disappear ance from Havana with $1,000,000 was said to have brought about the failure of Ceballos & Co., his wife and two children, steamed into Curacoa a week ago last Sunday, according to Captain Bennett and several of the passengers and crew of the steamship Zulia of the Red D line in late to-day from Curacoa and Venezuelan ports. H. B. Chase, a representative of a lumber company of this city, who re turntd on the Zulia from La. Guayra, said the Carmellna put into Curacoa arly on Sunday, October 7, and left on the morning of the following day after taking on coal, and ostensibly for Porto Cabollo. "I waj curloug enough to look up the Carmellna's passenger list," said Mr. Chase; "I found the names of Silveira, his wjme and two other Silveiras, pre sumably children. I was told that they landed at Curacoa, saying that they were going to New York probably on tho Zulia. I learned that the shortly afterward went to Porto Cobello. I thought It strange that they should go to New York from Havana by way of Curacoa. "Nobody paid much attention to the Csrmelina," said Mr. Chase, "because none of us knew anything about Sil veira or his connection with the failure orf Coballos & Co." ' Substantially the same story was told by C;; plain Bennett, who said he rec ol'gr.ized the Carmellna as she came into Curacoa and supposed she was sh.Tl of coal. YALE DEhEATs 1'RISCETON.

CASE AGAINST OIL TRUST ITS FATE IN OHIO NOW IN THE JURY'S HANDS. Yesterday's Proceedings the Most Stren uous of the Seven Days' Trial Ten sion Between Opposing Counsel Reaches Breaking Point and Hot Words Are Exchanged. Flndlay, 6., Oct. 17. After a trial of seven days the fate of the Standard Oil company of Ohio, charged with con spiracy against trade, was placed in the hands of the Jury at 8:30 o'clock to night. The day's proceedings were the most strenuous of the trial. The heavy speeches on both sides were made. Vir gil P. Kline concluded for the defense and Attorney-General Ellis for the prosecution. The defense submitted fourteen points of law for incorporation In the charge of the court to the jury, all but two of Which were rejected. Judge Banker then read his elaborate charge and the Jury retired to deliber ate. . The tension between counsel on either side, which has been on the Increase as the case proceeded, reached the break ing point to-day and hot words of crit icism passed, the crowded court room became demonstrative for the first time and the court sternly rebuked all con cerned. The collision resulted from the receipt of a telegram by the attorney general stating that the Manhattan Oil company had to-day sold out to the Standard Oil for $2,000,000. This was declared by the defense as a trick to influence the jury. The prosecution re torted that the matter would have never reached the Jury had not Mr. Kline, who made the charge, mentioned the matter In open court. The incident closed with a 'severe admonition from the court. The jury was not to regard the matter and the spectators must maintain silence or be ordered from the room. SCORES AM LOM.S POA'T. Decision Regarding Trades T'nlonlsm In Massachusetts. Boston, Oct. 17. Trades unionism scored and lost a point by a labor de cision to-day by the full bench of the Massachusetts supreme court. The de cision, which was In the case of W. S. Pickett and other non-union stone pointers against the Bricklayers' Ben evolent and Protective unions, Nos. 3 and 27, and Stone Masons' union, No. 9, holds lawful and Justifiable competition a strike declared because certain work relating to their trade is given to other workmen against the wishes of the strikers. The court held, however, that the un ionists have no right to Impose a sym pathetic strike upon their employer, with whom they have no trade dispute, to compel him to join with them in a boycott of the party who engages their immediate employer because that party hired special workmen to do work which thej'themselves sought to do. The case centered about, building op erations In Boston. The defendants' union ordered e strike of men employed by a contract' or because that contractor was doing work on a building where non-unionists were engaged. This sympathetic strike, the court holds, was not warranted, and for that reason the injunction restrain ing the defendants from combining against the employer was allowed to stand by the supreme court. The court says: "In our opinion or ganized labor's right of coercion and compulsion is limited to persons whom the organization have a trade dispute. Prominent Englishmen Meet President.

Former Believed to Remain In Control as Result of the Trouble Insinuation, However, That Victory Is Not Final Harrlman Interest Claims That of Thirteen Directors Seven Are Placed on Record In Opposition to Fish. Chicago, Oct. 17. The fight for the control of the Illinois Central Railroad, company waxed hot to-day. Stuyves ant Fish, president of the road, arid, William. Nelson Cromwell, representing E. H. Harrlman, president of tha Southern Pacific, clashed openly before 250 stockholders who had come from various parts ipf the country to attend' tho meeting.' On the face of the record; Mr. Fish appears to have been the vic tor, but that the victory Is not a final one Is insinuated by Mr. Cromwell. The) representative of Mr. Harrlman said to The Associated Press: "Of a directory of thirteen people there are still seven members who have placed themselves on record In opposi tion to Mr. Fish in this contest. There will be a meeting of the board, prob ably In November. This board will elect the officers of the railroad. You can draw your own conclusions." The clash between Messrs. Harrlman and Fish was waged over an agreement dated July 27, 1906, and signed by Stuy vesant Fish,- Charles A. Peabody and E. H. Harrlman. In June Mr. Fish had begun the collection of proxies' for use at the meeting held to-day. He says that an effort was also made by Har rlman also to get proxies through, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. On July 18, Mr: Peabody introduced a resolution at a, meeting of the board of directors that a committee of the directory be ap pointed to collect proxies. However, on July 27, Messrs. Fish, Peabody and Harrlman entered Into an agreement as follows: , ', ;'..;. t "Three outgoing directors to he re elected; Mr. Grlnnell's successor to b selected by a majority of the several directors acting; Mr. Peabody' s resolu-. tion of July 18 to be withdrawn and not to be revived this year; 'Mr. Harriman will ask that the Harrlman-Kuhn, Loeb proxies be given to Mr. Fish." W. Morton Grlnnell, a member of the' board . of directors, had died during the year. iMr. Fish claims that the Harrlman faction agreed that Mr. Grinnell's successor should be & man. Whose presence on, the directory will not be inimical to the independence of the Illinois Central and would be ac ceptable to Mr. Fish. Henry DeForest, a director of the Southern Pacific, of whloh Mr. Harrlman Is president, and one of the counsel for Mr. Harrlman, was named in a petition signed by Mr. Harriman and six other directors to succeed Mr. Grlnnell. By reason of hla Southern Pacific affiliations, Mr. De Forest was not 'acceptable to Mr. Fish. Mr. Cromwell declares that under the , agreement Mr. Fish was bound to ac cept Mr. DeForest and to cast both his own and the Harrlman proxies.fqr, him. At to-day's meeting 'Mr. Fish after formally being called upon by Mr. Cromwell to cast the proxies in favor of Mr. DeForest, arose a,nd declared with great emphasis: "I will never under any conditions vote for Mr. DeForest."
