The case was argued in Savannah

Two distrit judges of the United
States, sitting in the Circuit Court,
one in Kentucky—Judge Evan-—and ;

ST. PETERSBURG. March 14.—To
day's caucus of the oppositional par
ties was devoted to a discussion of
w&nt the lower house of parliament
would do, after the reading of Premier
Stolyplna's declaration of policy. It
failed again to bring the social demo
crats Into line, but the other parties
expressed their displeasure at the so
cial democratic obstruction with
PRESIDENT HILL DECLARES THAT
ROADS WILL BE FORCED TO
RAISE RATES.
ST PAs’L. Minn., March 14.—“I want
to go on record here that your rates
will be advanced in the northwest in
place of being reduced. They will be
advanced simply because It is neces
sary to provide the service. This
course will begin in the East. Now, I
much empli;
that this party is apt n °t complaining about rates, but
now to nbnndon Its unpopular tactics.
The feature of today's caucus was
the attitude of the peasant members
who after a week of schooling at the
hands of the constitutional democrats
are thoroughly impressed with the nec-
esslty of cautiousness towards the gov-
errmu nt. They are firmly convinced
that the government would not hesi
tate to dissolve parliament ot* its first
misbehavior. The present deputies,
.who are gradually gaining confidence
, ! ..ln their power* of debate, today ar
raigned tile social democrats as a
" graver danger to the existence of the
Dauma than is M. Kroushevan. the
anti-semlte member and his henchmen,
as a last resort, in case the social dem
ocrats break the silence after the read
ing the premier's declaration, next Fri
day, the constitutional democrats will
propose that opposition suspend the
sitting and retire to the lobbies.
The government has resolved to take
drastic steps against the universities
anil other institutions of higher lc '.rn-
ing in order to put an end to the revo
lutionary activity that prevails within
their walls. Prince Andrew G. Gagarin,
director of the polytechnic institute of
St. Petersburg, in which establishment
a number of arms, ammunition and
l.ombs were found by the police on
Mareh 3. has been dishonorably dis
charged. Together with the governing
board of the Institute he will be pros
ecuted for criminal negligence for per
mitting the sheltering of the arms and
ammunition for revolutionary purposes
in the institute entrusted to his super
vision.
present conditions would bankrup
some of the railroads in this State."
This declaration was made this after
noon by President James J. Hill, of the
i Great Northern railroad, before the
Senate commission which is investigat
ing the values of railroad property in
Minnesota. Mr. Hill said his company
had adopted the method of .reducing
rates as the revenue justified 'and an
investigation of the records would
show that Its rates, especially on grain
| and farm products, are lower than in
ether parts of the country. Today
Great Northern rates applied to Union
Pacific rates would mean a reduction
in the Union Pacific Income of more
than $5,000,000 a year.”
Asked by Attorney James Manahan,
if it were not true that the lines in the
East have been making enormous
profits recently, Mr. Hill replied that he
did not think so. .He showed outbf the
whole question of operating was going
! to a different basis, the cost has in
creased so much that he knew of an
eastern road which had advanced rates.
“I think all the railroads of the coun
try today have received a check they
will not get over for many, many
years,” he said.
Vice President A. L. Mohler, of the
Union Pacific tonight expressed the be
lief that the people in the aggressive
campaign against railroads were laying
a foundation for a tremendous panic.
Mr. Mohier said the abandonment of
Union Pacific extension work was due
to inability to make loans in New York
and that the policy of retrenchment
was followed by the road in self-de
fense and in no wise as retalation.
The top of a moving train of cars is ,
a queer place to make an arrest, but • un jf° rms by April 15th. 1
this is what Bicycle Officer Mosely
did yesterday.
Word had been received at the po
lice station that a negro named Ed
Sears had cut his wife fatally at
Elizabeth Whitehead’s house in Fitz
gerald alley, and that Ed was running
away. Officer Jackson heard of the
affair and was looking for the man
while Officer Mosely was wheeling it
to the railroad yards where he had
heard the man had gone.
Arriving at the Central Railroad
yard, the officer saw his man on top
of a freight train that had been made
up to leave Macon. He lost no time
in climbing up the ladder on a car i leave.”

tion, and the Government’s activities
should cease at the point where the
Immigrants are admitted to the coun
try.
Any plan to permit the National
Government to put Its finger in the pie
of the distribution of immigrants
throughout the country is full of pos
sibilities of evil to the country, espe
cially if the Bureau of Immigration
may at any time be inclined to make
special and unique interpretation of
the meaning of desirability of immi
grants. As far as the Southern States
are concerned with this question, the
Manufacturers’ Record can only repeat
its frequently reiterated suggestion
that the safe and sure and desirable
plan of immigration is that directed
preferably by State authorities or, in
the absence of a State immigration
agency of any kind, by business-like
organizations on State lines of busi
ness men going about the work of se
curing immigrants as they would go
about enlarging their individual under
takings.
There are just too many organized
movements directed from abroad seek
ing to avail themselves of the Ameri
can Government's influence in the dis-
toward the defendant, filed last Sunday
by the defense to lay foundation for a
request for a change of trial judges The
affidavit of Patek is a flat contradiction
of the affidavit of Nippert. local represen
tative of an Eastern bonding company
that furnished Rtief's $50,000 bail, which
was declared forfeited after Ruef went
into hiding at the Trocadcro.
In his affidavit Nippert swears that in
last September, while he and Judge Dunne
and Charles Leonard were spending a
vacation in Plumas County, during a
conversation Judge Dunne denounced
Ruef and Schmitz as grafters.
Dr. Patek, in his affidavit, swears that
the remarks attributed by Nippert to
Dunne were not made by the latter, but
by Nippert himself. He further affirms
that “On the contrary Judge Dunne made
no statement that any grafting was going
on and made no statement at all as to
his regard or lack of regard for Abraham
Ruef or Mayor Schmitz or denounced
them, or even mentioned their names;
and during this conversation no one ex
cept Nippert expressed any bias for or
against Ruef and the Mayor, and that
not even he or Nippert called the Mayor
by name.”
Judge Dunne’s affidavit Is a categorical
denial of all charges of bias made against
him in the affidavits of Ruef and Nippert.
Judge Dunne, among other things, de
clared that he has “Never taken an active
interest in politics, either in opposition to
Ruef or otherwise.”
Judge Dunne ordered the empanelment
of the Ruef Jury to be begun. Three
names had been called when the proceed
ings came to a sudden stop. It was
found that one talesman had been tempo
rarily excused by the court. The de
fense objected to the drawing of any
further names from the jury box until
the absent talesman shall be present.
Judge Dunne then adjourned court until
Monday.

with one big oil lamp in the middle
of the street to flickering gas lights,
and then to the electric arc lamp.
He has seen the city widen and spread
out from a little cluster -of houses,
occupying an area of half a mile square
to four and a half miles square, from
a population of one thousand to forty-
five thousand.
He Is now seeing the landmarks dis

buildings, few are standing that he

And yet he is traveling about the

As a fireman, and he fought fire for
fifty years, he has saved thousands
