HAVANA. June 10.—The United States armored cruiser Washington entered Ha vana harbor at 12:25 p. m. and exchanged salutes with the fortress of Cubans, Fifteen minutes later the battleship Rhode Island passed into the harbor. The American minister to Cuba, Ar thur M. Beaupre, today sent a note to the Cuban state department in which he stated that the arrival of the cruiser Washington and the battleship Rhode Is land was merely a visit of courtesy. Manuel Sanguiliy, the Cuban secretary of state, replied to Mr. Beaupre's message with appropriate acknowledgment. All member* of the cabinet were sum moned to the palace this afternoon to be present at the official visit of Admiral Osterhaus. • Each of these ships in addition to her regular complement of 65 marines car ries an extra 125 men. They will be | landed in the Cuban capital only in a case of dire emergency, in which event the blue jackets of both ships also would be available. SITUATION GRAVE. The gravity with which this govern ment regards the situation is indicated by the fact that Rear Admiral Oster haus. commander of the Altnatic fleet, is aboard his flagship, the Washington, to observe conditions in Havana first hand. The remainder of the third dl-‘ vision of the fleet remains at Key West and can join the flagship in a few hours. The mine planter, San Francisco, leaves Annapolis today with a comple ment of midshipmen aboard and will join the ships at Key West. The first division of the Atlantic fleet, the Mas sachusetts. Utah, North Dakota, Flori da and Delaware also leave Annapolis today with midshipmen aboard. While their destination now is Cape Cod. there is no assurance that the navy depart ment may not order these ships to join those near Cuba at any moment. Speaker Farrera, of the Cuban house of repreeentati* es, and one of the first lieutenants of President Gomel, will have a conference today with Secretary Knox, at which the situation will be thoroughly canvassed. The speaker is Don-communicative about bi* mission.. It has been reported that his visit is in connection with a loan for the Cuban government's use in putting down the insurrection. In government circles here develop ments are being watched with greatest. interest. It seems that the events of this week probably will decide If the jnllitary force of 5,000 men now wait ing to move to Cuba shall be ordered on. Speedy Intervention Is Expected by Cubans - (By Auociatad Fraas.) HAVANA. June 10.—Publication In this morning's paper* here of news of the dispatch of United States warships from Key West to Havana created a profound impression. The popular impression is that the coming of the American ships means spedy intervention by the United State*. Officials, however, unanimously scout th* idea of intervention, regarding the send ing of the warships as a friendly act. They declare they deplore that Wash ington has been misled by exaggerated reports into the belief that a racial war is Imminent. Officials assert rioting in Havana Sat-1 urday night was not significant of race | hatred. but they Jo not explain the reason for the extensive military prepara k.vns which were taken to prevent trou- last night.

Their heads had been smashed, and an axe covered with blood and hajr was found. All were murdered in their beds. There is no definite clue to the murderer, al though search is being made, it is said, for one person suspected by the au thorities. Owing to the terrible .mutilation, the identity of the two women could not be absolutely established this morning. No robbery was committed and it seems that only a desire for revenge could have prompted the murder, unless the work was done by a madman. The dead: JOSEPH MOORE AND WIFE. HERMAN MOORE, 11 years old. CATHERINE MOORE, 9 years old. BOYD MOORE, 7 years old. PAUL MOORE, 6 years old. MISS EDITH SPILLINGER, 20 years old. | MISS BLANCH SPILLINGER. 18 years old. • Because of terrible mutillation, ident ' ity of the two young women could not at first be established.

CHICAGO, June 10. Roose velt leaders opposed it, the Republi can national committee this morning decided to postpone action on the Cali fornia contests and take up the Indiana cases Instead. Another test vote came unexpectedly in the Republican national committee soon after It met here today and the Taft forces won, 38 to 13. It was an nounced when the committee was called that the California contest would be tak en up first. Taft supporters objected, saying it might involve other delegates and all documents had not arrived. Af ter heated argument it was voted to post pone the case until Wednesday. The Indiana cases were taken up, the four delegates at large first being con sidered. The committee assembled, with 44 mem bers present or represented by proxy. CLAYTON EXPLAINS. Committeeman Powell Clayton asked for a correction of newspaper statements concerning alleged participation in ward, primaries in Little Rock. General Clay ton sought to tnake it slear that it .iu» his nephew, Powell Clayton, to whom reference Was made when the Fifth Arkansas was argued Saturday. A proposal to put at the foot of the calendar all passed over, met with objection from Committeeman Knight, of California, who demanded that the Cali fornia case, passed over Saturday, be taken up this morning. Committeeman New, of Indiana, and Committeeman Crane, of Massachusetts, both known as Taft adherents, sup ported Mr. Knight’s request. The committee agreed to take up the contests over the two delegates from the Fourth California district, and set the Arizona cases for Wednesday. But soon afterward Senator Dick de clared that certain papers had not been received and again askei for d day. "We are Inclined to think,” said Mr. Dick, “that some of the other California delegates, whose seats have not yet been contested, were elected In accordance with the national committee’s cull. It is a question whether we will abandon the 1 principle of electing by district and re turn to the principle of choosing them by state units.” Committeeman Lyon, of Texas, asked Mr. Dick how he proposed to institute contests against any of the other Cali fornia district*. The committee had already listed the Roosevelt delegations on the convention’s temporary ran. before former Senator Dick made Ms request. ”We only wish to present the case to the committee,” said Mr. Dick. , Senator Crane moved to delay the California case until Wednesday. Sena tor Borah said there was no reason for that much delay. There was a hurried conference betwen Senator Crane and Francis J. Heney, of the Roosevelt forces. • Mr. Heney broke into th* committee proceedings to say that he had heard that there was “a movement on foot to disfranchise all the delegates from California, if those votes were needed.” WRANGLING BEGINS. Members objected to Mr. Heney's re mark , and demanded that he restrict f himself to arguing the case. “He is not out of order,” shouted Sen ator Borah. “He is out of order,” retorted Chair man Rosewater. Senator Borah said if Mr. Heney were not allowed to proceed, some merflbers of the committe would do the necessary talking. “As I understand it, senator,” said Mr. Heney again arising, “if I confine myslf to arguments that do not of fend any members of the committee, I am in order.” Chairman Rosewater’s gavel loudly rapped for order. “The gentleman should not be allow ed to come in here and insult the com mittee on the strength of something he has seen in the newspapers,” declared Thomas H. Devine, of Colorado. “All the honesty is not on that side,” he added, shaking his fist at Senator Borah. “Well, all the honesty is not on your side," retorted Senator Borah. * Chairman) Rosewater asked Sergeant at-Arms Stone to escort the Roosevelt and Taft contestants outside while the committee decided the case. STEAM ROLLER AGAIN. The contest against the four Taft del egates at large from Indiana was then called. Bainbridge Colby, of New York, attor ney for the Roosevelt delegates, charg ed an attempt to organize the credentials committee of the Indiana state convention on the night before the convention. Mr. Colby declared that a rule of procedure had been adopted by the credentials committee which gave five Taft men of the convention the oppor tunity to choose members from the Third. Sixth and Thirteenth districts, so as to give them control of the full committee. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1912.

POWER MERGER IS NOT A TRUST, COURT HOLOS Judge Pendleton Sustains De murrer of Georgia Railway and Power Company The Georgia Railway and Power company, the 357,000,000 merger of water power interests. Is not a trust under the laws of this state, accord ing to the decision of Judge J. T. Pen dleton, of the superior court, who on Monday morning sustained the demur red of the company in the case brought against it by Louis B. Magid. The supreme court, however, will have to review the decision, as the at torneys for Magid announce that they will appeal from the judgment of the superior court. The suit was brought against the Georgia Railway and Power company and one of its subsidiary organizations, the Georgia Railway and Electric com pany, by Magid, who owns 105 shares of the stock of the latter company. ASKED INJUNCTION. He alleged that his objections as a stockholder to the merger had been steam rollered, and asked the court for an injunction to restrain the lease of the electric company by the power company from becoming effective. He further alleged that the Georgia Rail way and Power company was a combi nation in restraint of trade and con stitutionally illegal, and prayed the court to declare the merger null and void. The demurrer of the defendant com panies was made on several specific grounds. Oae was that at a stockhold ers meeting Magid had not ob jected sufficiently to the electric com pany’s action in agreeing to the lease, and on this ground th* demurrer was sustained, the court holding not onlj that Magid should have objected more strenuously in the meeting, but that he should have called a stockholders’ meeting to protest against the action before he brought the sun to declare the merger void. His answer to this was that as the majority of the stock holders had already voted for the measure, another meting to review the action would have been useless. BASIS OF DECISION. Judge Pendleton based his opinion that the Georgia Railway and Power company is not a trust on the decision in the case of The State vs the Trust Company of Georgia, lue decision foi the defendant in this case was made by the supreme court in the nineties, when an effort was made to dissolve a combination of Atlanta trolley car companies, which resulted in the for mation of the Georgia Railway and Electric company. The merger in that case was similar to the one which has resulted in the formatipn of the Georgia Railway and Power company, and under the rulings of the supreme court In the former in stance, the latter company is not a trust, the jurist held. Attorney Edgar Watkins, one of the leading counsel for Magid, stated after the decision had been announced, that m the appeal to the supreme court that body will be asked, in connection with this case, to review its decision in the State ys. the Trust Company of Geor gia case, with especial reference to the acts of 1909 and 1910, which came after the decision in the Trust com pany litigation had been made. The important case has been on trial in the motion division of the superior court for three days. Attorneys for Magid were Watkins & Latimer, and Westmoreland Bros. The Power com panies were representer by Charles T. Hopkins, Alex King and L. Z. Rosser. Magid, in addition to the superior court suit, has brought litigation in the federal courts against the Georgia Railway and Power company. This ac tion was brought ur der the Sherman anti-trust law, and through it he seeks Io recover triple damages, which would amount under the suit to 32,110,000, from the power company.
