Just below the eye; striking the bone

AN ADDRESS TO VOTERS
Some Prominent Republicans In New York
Declare Themselves


NEW YORK, April 2.-An address by
prominent Republicans to Republican
voters in this state was issued today,
which is causing much stir and interest
among politicians of all classes. The adj
dress is signed by Cornelius M. Bliss.
Joseph Choate, Horace Porter, l.. B.
Cannon, Lemuel Thomes, William Brook
field, Horace Russell, Edward Mitchell,
Joel Gerhart. c. II. COLES, George b. Ly-
ons, Henry b. Rowland. Henry W. Can
non, NJ. c. Borden and John Clatlin.
The ground taken is that the vote for
governor in New York city at the recent
election was an index of the number of
votes that had come into the Republican
party at that time on both state and local
issues. Says the address:
They saw that the Republican party
in this city had fully committed itself to
the cause they had at heart--the upbuild-
ing OF municipal government on non par
tisan lnes-and they believed the party
IN the state would support and sustain
its pledges
To make good the promises made by
the party the city must pass the reform
measures which have been pending in
the legislature some time past. These
measures provide for:
First-Reorganizati of public schools.
Second-Abolishing the present Tam
many Hall appointees OF police justices
by creating new police magistrates to be
appointed by the mayor.
rd-Reorganization of the police de-
partment.
An argument is offered to show the i'm
portance of retaining New York city
voters in the Republican party as the bal
ance of power in the state is involv ed.

SAN FRANCISCO, April THE su

after trial for murder, was convicted of
manslaughter.
While out camping with several COM
panions, all intoxicated, Button assaulted
one OF the party who was lying in a
drunken stupor with his head resting
upon stone. Without apparent provo
cation Button jumped upon his upturned
face and stamped it until it was unrecog-
nizable. Then, seized with remorse, he
hunted up and saddled his horse, prepar-
ing to leave the camp.
The man attacked came to fifteen min
utes after the assault and attacked Button
with knife. Button disarmed him.
Selling rife he again approached But

that he had tried to avoid second quar-

MILWAUKEE. April 2.-Attorney Cen
eral Maloney of Illinois has issued leave
for the United States circuit court for
Northern Illinois to begin an intervening
suit in the suit OF the Farmers Loan
and Trust company against the Chicago
and Northern Pacific railroad to foreclose
a mortgage secured by $50, 600, 900 bonds
with a view of showing that the Loan and
Trust company has failed to comply with
the law of Illinois, which requires trust
companies to place on deposit with the
state certain funds as security, and there
fore had no valid mortgage on the prop
erty which it desires to foreclose.
The petition and briefs arrived in Mil
wauke6 today. The petition, after describ-
ing the property covered by the trust COM
pany's mortgage and the lease by the Wis
consin Central, goes on to say the loan
and trust company proposes to buy IN the
property and operate the road for its own
interest. 1t also alleges that the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company has been doing
business in defiance of the Illinois state
law; that the trust deed held by the COM
pany was void and that the Institution
and prosecution of the suit for the fore
closure recently begun was in violation of
the statutes of the state of Illinois: was
unlawful; that the trust company has per-
sistently violated the statutes of Illinois,
executing other trusts; that it was en-
gagged in such business in the state and
for the purpose of evading the law has
foreborne to appoint any agent within
the state upon whom service by process
could be made; that unless the statute of
Illinois could intervene in the foreclosure
suit begun by the Loan and trust company
it had no remedy to prevent such viola
tions of the law. 1t is then asked that the
trust deed of the company be declared
void and that the company be enjoined
from proceeding with its suit for the fore
closure.
