Richmond Vice-Consul Cannot
Interfere With Sentence
of Countryman.
RATE CASES TO BE HEARD
i
bcveral Matters Before Corpora-]
tion Commission?Major
Becomes Captain.
Taking the ground that it is not part
of the duties of a consul to shield a
fellow-countryman from punishment
for violation of the law. 13. Karl Viator,
the German vice-consul at Richmond,
has requested Governor Mann to allow
tlio law to take its. course in the case !
of Henry Rutzer. As a result, Rutzer
will serve his term of two and a half
years on the public roads of the .State,
less whatever time off he may secure
through exemplary behavior.
It appears that the man has been
in the United States but a short time.
Ho visited what is described as an
empty house In Orange county, but it
was evidently not quite empty, for Rut
y.or carried therefiom sundry articles
which were not his property. Ho was
apprehended, tried, convicted and given
a sentence on the roads.
Thereupon the man appealed to the
Got man consul at Washington, "one
of whom there Is none." .?o the paper.1
were forwarded to Mr. Victor. The
latter, after an investigation, satisfied
himself that Rutzer was not being un?
duly prosecuted, and has declined to
do or say anything more In the matter.
Rutzer l? evidently a man of eduea- J
tion. but it does not appear that he i
is either a penologlsl. a student of hu- ?
Minn nature or a special writer on a
newspaper.
JUDICIAL HEARING
I.. &. N. Summoned Before Coramls
rIoii?Itntc t'nsc? to lie Heard.
Several cases are set tor hearing
to-day before the State Corporation
Commission. They are of more or 1c.-*
importance, and it may be that there
?will be a postponement in one or more
Instance?. This is regarded as likely
Jh the case of the Louisville ar.d Nash?
ville Railroad Company, which has
been summoned before the commission
to show cause why it has failed to
comply with the commission's, order
for a rerating on the carriage of elec?
tro- batteries. This road. It is stated,
has previously neglected to carry but
the commission's rulings.
Probably the case of the iluettel
(Coal and Coke Company against the
Virginia and Kentucky Railway Com- j

quest Ions to-day when they appeared
before the Ways and Means Commit?
tee of the House to argue in favor of
the retention of the present duty im?
posed upon their product by the
Payne-Aid rich tariff bill, rather than
the reduction that is contemplated in
the proposed reciprocity agreement
With Canada.
Both Republican and Democratic
in- moors of the committee plied the
paper men with Inquiries as to why a
drcrease In the duty was feared, when
the reduction of eighteen months ajjb
had been followed by an increase in
tin- price of paper rather than a de?
crease. Tho general reply was that
tin increase, had been a mere return
to normal prices after low prices in?
cident to tariff agitation.
After the papers' interests are heard
the coihniittoe will listen to represen?
tatives of other industries. The hear
ingu will close on next Thursday.

I'nnxen tile '"Spy" Hill. |
Washington, D. C, February 6.? The j
House to-day passed the so-called,
"spy" bill, introduced by Representa?
tive Hobson. of Alabama. Tin; bill
makes It unlawful for a person to
make photographs or drawings on
board battleships or in navy yards or
forts without proper authority. For
such offense the penalty is a tine not
to exceed $1,000, or one year in prison.
If the person attempts to sell the in?
formation to a foreign government
the penalty is fixed at ten years In
prison. Mr. Hobson explained, in re?
sponse to questions, that the bill
would not prohibit tourists from tak?
ing harmless snapshots.
In Defense of Cullom.
Washington, February fi.?A defense
of Senator Cullom, of Illinois, formed
the most striking part of an address
made in the Senate to-day by Senator
Theodore Burton, of Ohio, in opposing
the report of the Committee on Privi?
leges and Elections, by which Senator
Lorimer. of Illinois, was exonerated
from the charge of obtaining his seat
by means of bribery.
The- reference to Senator Cullom.
who is Mr. Lorimer's colleague, was
called out by a statement made In the
Senate by Senator Bailey, of Texas,
during the excitement incident to the
close of Senator Root's arraignment
of Mr. Lorimcr last Friday. Speaking
of the existence for years of a "jack?
pot," found in connection with the
sessions of the Illinois Legislature, Mr.
Bailey, who supports Mr. Lorlmer. said
that the means used to elect Mr. Lor?
lmer were the same as had been em?
ployed In the election of Mr. Cullom.
Mr. Burton said: "The Senator from
Texas, no doubt unwittingly, did an ihr
lustlce to the Senator from Illinois in
some remarks last Friday in averring
that if Mr. Lorimer's election is invalid
so is that of the senior Senator. One
conclusive answer to any such ground?
less Inference Is the method of tho
election of Mr. Cullom. He was nomi?
nated at a primary by a majority of
50.000 votes, and it would be most tin
lust to him to compare the circum?
stances under which he was chosen
with the corrupt and dishonest meth?
ods prevalent in the Legislature in
1900."
Mr. Burton discussed the allegations
against Senator Lorimer largely on
legal grounds. Without attempting to
unravel the testimony, he proceeded on
the theory that certain facts had been
proven, and then undertook to show
under precedents established in tho
Cnlted States and Great Britain that
the election by the Illinois legislature
had been tainted, and therefore was
Invalid.
Summing up his conclusions, Mr.
Burton found it "perfectly evident that
fraud was so rampant and dishonesty
so widespread in this election that It
Is Impossible to separate the sound
votes from the unsound votes.
"When," he added, "there is in?
dubitable proof, as here, that fraud and
bribery had been resorted to no one
can derive from the cesspool of cor?
ruption any conclusion except that no j
election was had. Undoubtedly proof
Is available not only to show that a. j
sufficient number of bribed persons
cast their votes for Mr. Lorlmer to
invalidate his election, but also that
on other grounds than this there was
not a valid choice.
"There are strong arguments to sus?
tain a presumption that.not only seven,
eight, nine or ten were corrupt, but
that possibly thirty cast their votes
under the influence of bribery or dis?
honesty."

In Iiis confession. Pantchenko ex?
plained that "Iodine" referred to tiie
Plan to poison General Bouturlin. and
that the words "technical side,'' refer?
red to the plan to poison young Bou?
turlin. in his testimony yesterday,
however. Pantchenko said that "tech?
nical side'" had no refercne- :,, Bou
ttiriin, but. probably referred to :i
plan to open a :-anatorium at Yltna. j
or a laboratory or other business pro- I
ject which he had discussed with De
Lassy. The question of poisoning !
General Bouturlin is not concerned In
the present case, and Pantchenko al- !
lowed himself greater latitude regard?
ing the interpretation of the passage
referring to "iodine."
Their "iP?lwnti'? Pinn,
lie explained that "iodine" did not
refer to a scheme to dispose of Ocneral
Bouturlin. but to the preparation of
one of the tablets of iodine which
Oeneral Bouturlin was in the habit of
taking. The plan was to bore a hole
In the tablet and drop a poisonous
powder therein, sealing the tablet
up again. Pantchenko said that he
gave De Dassy a quantity of sulphuric
magnesia for this purpose. Pantchenko
made no objection to the remark of the
medical experts that this compound
was harmless as his plan of defense
seems to be to show that Do Lassy
1 proposed the poisonings, and he him?
self pretended to agree to the carry?
ing out of the plot for th*>. sake of
the money, but that he did not employ
any effective means to this end, and
that Count Vassili Bouturltn's death
was purely accidental.
Count De Lassy's attitude, apparent?
ly, is that he had been made the vic?
tim of blackmail.
UNKNOWN NEGRO
DENT ON MURDER
Frightened Away, However, Be?
fore He Could Harm Woman
in Henrico County.
Hcnrico county police are now seek?
ing an unide-ntified negro who at?
tempted a vicious attack yesterday
morning at 7 o'clock on Mrs. Samuel
Henley at. her home on the Broad
Street Road, near Short Pump. The
authorities were at first notified that
the man had insulted Mrs. Henley. Of?
ficers were detailed upon the case, but
it did not become known until yes?
terday afternoon that the negro was
bent "upon a murderous crime.
Because of the rain and sleet, the
bloodhounds used by the county for
trailing criminals were of no service.
However, more officers were detailed
on the case and every precaution taken
to apprehend the fugitive.
With her two children, Mrs. Henley
was at breakfast. Tho negro appeared
at the rear door, ostensibly for the
purpose of soliciting alms. When his
summons was atiswered by Mrs. lien
ley the negro rushed at her. Screams
of the vornan and children frightened
hirn away.
Neighbors were quickly aroused, but
the negro had taken advantage of the
confusion and vanished.
As soon as tlie county police were
put in full knowledge of the facts in
the case all available officers were
detailed upon it.
However, the man had several hours'
start. Several clues concerning his
whereabouts are now being followed
nnd his capture may be effected to?
day.

Inspector Thinks Ashhurwi "Disappeared
for Reasons of Ills Own."
Atlantic City, N. J., February 6.?
Federal agents have taken charge of
the search for the body of Postmaster
Richard I* Ash hurst, of Philadelphia,
who mysteriously disappeared from the
Million Dollar Pier a week ago to?
night.
Fred Nelson, of the secret service,
who is investigating the case, said to?
day that it was his belief that "Post?
master Ashhurst is not drowned, but"
he probably disappeared for reasons of
his own."
Tho investigation made to-day and
j to-night includes the securing of mes?
sages sent and received by the Phila
i delphia postmaster before his disap?
pearance. Those working on the case
refustd to divulge the contents of the
telegrams.
Chief of Police Woodruff, of this
city and the men working under him
still believe that Mr. Ashhurst was
drowned. They, however, discontinued
dragging for the. body to-day. Sur?
prise is expressed that the body has
not floated ashore.
