11111 1110111111 111111101 German Consul B1amed For All the Eight-ing WARSHIP ORDERED TO APIA The Kaiser‘s Representative [forcibly Ejec- ted from the Supreme Court Building by the British and American Consuls. A11 Insult. to the United States, London, Jan." 20.-—A special dispatch from Auckland, N. 23., says that the British and American consuls were compelled to force the doors of the su— preme court at Apia, Sal‘oa. in which the German consul had established himself, and to push him into .the street. All parties at Apia, the special dis.- patch continues, unite in condemning the German consul for the fighting which has taken place between the ri— val kings. _ It is pointed out that in violation of all agreements, the consul accompan— ied Mataafa’s forces when the claim- ant invaded the town, and encouraged the opposition to Malietoa. Tanus. “7 hen the British and American con— suls were informed as to the situation they adjourned the court and locked the building. The German consul then demanded the keys, which were refus- ed him. He then broke open the doors removed the locks and replaced them with others. He. afterward brought the German municipal president into the chamber. and the latter went upon the balcony and shouted to the British and Ameri- can marines assembled on the square. “I am the supreme court. I am the chief justice!” The crowd replied with jeers, and the British consul demanded the keys of the building, which were refused. A Scotchman named Mackie there- upon climbed on top of the building and hoisted the Samoan flag, while the British and American consuls and a number of marines invaded the build- ing, forced the doors open and pushed the German consul into the street. Then the two consuls formally and legally opened the court and issued a warning against further interference with its jurisdiction, threatening to arrest and imprison any one attempt- ing to do so. Matters are now quiet and the Ger- man consul remains in his consulate. Auckland, N.'Z., Jan. 20.--Furthcr particulars regarding the disturbances at Samoa show Mataafa’s followers unmberedabout five thousand men and that the adherents of Malietoa Tanus were only about one thousand in num- ber. There was two hours’ firing between the rival forces, during which several of the warriors were decapitated. The American consul issued a proc- - lamation, claiming that the Berlin treaty had the same force‘ as a law of Congress, and that an insult to the supreme court of Samoa is, therefore, equivalent to an insult to the govern- ‘ment at Washington. . The Philadelphia to G0 at. Once. Washington, D. C., Jan. 20.--The'na- vy department has prepared orders for the cruiser Philadelphia to proceed to Samoa at once. The Philadelphia arrived at San Diego yesterday from Acapulco. » If, however, any vessel more quickly av- ailable can be found--one of Dewey’s fleet, for instance-4t will be ordered to Samoa. The commander of the Philadelphia will act in conformity with the instruc- tions of the United States consul, so far as those instructions are in line with the treaty of Berlin, which the United States contends must be liter- ally enforced untlil amended. It would take the Philadelphia about sixteen days to make the run from San Diego to Apia, touching at Hono- lulu for coal. The Remnants of Spain’s Fleet. Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 20.--Ar- rangements have been made with the Royal Mail Company for coaling here of the homeward bound Danish war- ships from Havana. During the past week four have been coaled, the Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the Nueva Espana, the Hernan Cortes and the Galicia. The two former'sailed on Wednesday and the others left yester- fay. Twelve more are expected short- -,Y- . ’ While these vessels lay in port and at the coallng dock the most noticeable thing about them was the utter ab- sence of discipline. This culminated in the case of the Galicia. the day be- fore yesterday, when four seamen picked up their chests and landed, ,dressed in shore clothes, like ‘pa‘ssen- gers. Shortly afterward the water police were asked to arrest the men as de— setters. Subsequently a superior ofllcer coun- termanded the request, without giving any reason, and a petty ohlcer was heard to remark tthat if. 11111111111 crew deserted hére it would ‘69' a happy rid: dance, for many reasons, one being that wages in the fleet were hopelessly in arrears. Hehad no idea how the navy was going to be kept up now that Cuba was lost, and he would not be surpris- ed at a general mutiny among the fleet before it got home. Students In a Blot. Rome, Jan. 20.--There have been se- rious student riots during the last two days at the universities of Palermo and Naples, owing to the refusal of the authorities to grant certain requests regarding examinations and holidays.

D.. of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, has undertaken to set before Endeavorers certain prin- ciples to be considered in determining the attitude of the members of the so- ciety 7 as to imperialism or national ex- pansion. P1esident Cla1k says: “There is room for decided differences of opinion. Vv’e should not be led on by dazzling visions of national-great- ness, which certain imperialists would dangle before our eyes, nor should we be scared out of 0m duty by the timid fears of some who da1e not attempt great things for God and humanity. “The boom of Dewey‘s guns in Ma— nila, and of Sampson’s at Santiago, will never cease to echo. Vile owe a peculiar duty to at least twenty mil- lions of people who a year a.,o we1e not under our particular spheie of in- fluence. “If this question is not settled as God would have it settled, it will be a sorry day for America. If it is settled right it will not only bring untold blessings to those peoples of the \Vest Indies and the South Seas, but it will bring the dawn of a new era to the world, for it will show that a strong nation can interfere with the affairs of an— other nation even to the point of war, not for its own glory and aggrandizc— ment, but for the elevation and ad- vancement of a weak and downtrodden people.” ‘Vl'eek of the Glemlower.' New York. Jan. 20.--The British~ steamer Menominee, which sailed from Londor with eleven cabin passengers on January :3, arrived here yesterday. having on board the captain and crew, twenty~three hands in all, of the Brit- ish steamer Glendower, from Philadel- phia for Sligo, with a cargo of corn. The Menominee fell »in with the Glcndower at 8.30 a. m. on January 12, in latitude 49.23 and longitude 31.37. The latter was in a. sinking condition and the captain asked that he and his crew be taken off. The British steamer Georgian, three days ago on its arrival at Liverpool, reported having seen the Glendower in trouble on January 12. The Glendower at that time had a heavy list to starboard and two stea- mers were standing by. The Glendower carried a cargo of 123,000 bushels of corn, valued at $48,— 000. Cummuter Runyon Wins.

THE SECRETS REVEALED A Careful Examination of the Inventor's \Vorkshop Shows That Compressed Air “'39 Probably the Agency Used in E1;- pell'imeuts. Philadelphia, Jan. 20.-—The Press yes- terday published an article covering. with illustrations, more than a page in space, giving the details of an investi- gation made by that paper of the dis‘ mantled workshop of the late John 'W. Keely, which investigation, the Press contends, clearly proves that the mys- terious Keely .motor was a delusion andodeception. and that its alleged mysterious forces were the result of trickery. In the investigation, which has been 1n progress more than a week, the floor- ing of the workshop was taken up and a brick partition wall was removed. The Press was assisted in the work by Professor Carl Hering, a consulting en- gineer of experieifce; Professor Arthur W. Goodspeed, assistant professor of physics of the University of Pennsyl- vania; Professor Lightncr Witmer, professor of experimental psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. M. G. Miller, who has had special training in exploration and research in the way of mound digging, and, ac— cordingly superintended all the digging operations. . Clarence B. Moore. son .of Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, was an interested spectatox. The statements in the article, which are substantiated by signed statements of the persons named, are to the effect that tubing was found concealed in the brick work and under the floor of the laboratory. This, it is claimed, laid bare the possibilities of deception, as thetubing is of the kind calculated to stand high pressure and cou1d have been used in connection with the great steel sphere found last week in the laboratory which the experts intimate was used as a reservoir for compressed air or cOmpressed gases, and the tub- ing could thus fo1n1 an agency for the forces that moved the motor in the ex- hibition room. The contention of Mr. Keely and his friends for many years had been that no tubing of any kind was needed to work the machines. The views of Mr. Hering and Pro- fessor Goodspeed me that the pres— ence of the tubing and sphere indicate the use of normal forces and possible deception on the part of Keely. In this view Clarence Moore concurs, and _Professor YVitmer feels that the possibility of trickery confirms the di~ agnosis that most psychologists make as to the dclusive character of the Keely mystery. Professor Hering summarizes the re- sults of the investigation as follows: “Nothing that I found or saw indi- cated that he used electricity or mag- netism to produce any of the effects in which a great power was developed. I feel satisfied from this and the de— scription of his experiments that he did not use electricity, except, perhaps, insignificantly small cf— l‘or producing fects. probably because he seemed to know very little, if anything, about electricity and magnetism. “The hidden tubes which were found were not sufficiently well insulated to be used for electrical effects. I found only a pair of abandoned insulated wires near a window, which were ap- parently used for some signal, and could not possibly have been used for transmitting large powers electrically. “Personally, I am satisfied now that he used highly compressed air, and that he intentionally and knowingly deceiv— u-(l the public when he held his exhi- bitions. Moreover, there is nothing wonderful about any of these experi-g ments. of which I have seen descrip- 1’ons, it‘ he used highly compressed air." Shot by :1 Bluglar. Somerv‘ille. N.

The thief “as in his home about 3 v1 hen he heard the no: Ise' of an explosion.

As Chief Crow reached the office of the beef company he saw a man com- ing out. The chief called on the bur-- re- l}. ”2., fused. The chief chased him for a block and then the burglal suddenly turned about and fired. The chief received the bul- let in his lungs. The burgla1 then started to run again, and the chief. though bleeding profusely,‘ followed, falling exhausted after running for a distance of a block. NOthing was‘missing from the safe.

Leake, manager of the Call, testi- fied that the statement and interviews attributed in the Call to Wright and to Milton J. Green, manager of U. S. Grant’s senatorial campaign, were true as stated and were made to him (Leake) personally. He told of “’right having confessed that he had received $1,650 from Green while a. candidate for the Assembly, but that as circumstances had been such that he could ‘not vote for Grant, he felt that he ought to return the money and would soon be in a condi- tion to do so. Being asked if Wright had told him of money given to other members of the legislature for their campaign ex- penses, Leake said “Yes."
