BORN AND NAMED
New Party Came Into Existence At
Louisville Yesterday.

Louisville, KY, April 3.-Under the
name of the Allied Peoples Party of
the United States. new political or
ganization was formed here today,
composed of reform elements opposed
TO the Democratic and Republican
parties. The platform of the new or
ganization embodies the platform
adopted at the conference held at Kan
sas City last September, when call
for convention was issued "to unite
reform forces against plutocracy." 1t
reaflirms the spirit of the declaration
of principles adopted at the national
convention of the Peoples party con-
vention in st. Louis, Omaha and Gin
cinnati. The demand for the initiative
and referendum and the government
ownership of all public utilities are
its principal planks. While the Peo-
pies party, the fusion Populists, the
Socialists, the Referendum League, the
Union Labor party, Public Ownership
party, of st. Louis: the Prohibition
party and the United Christian party
were represented on the floor OF the
convention by accredited or by volun-
teer delegates, only two national or
CARNATIONS, the Peoples party and
the Public Ownership party, had given
their delegates any authority to form
an alliance. II is hoped, however, of
the Allied Peoples party that other
reform forces will later decide to unite
with the new organization.
The convention was practically
dominated by the Peoples party. AT
times discussions of lively nature
took place and for while it seemed
as if the movement were about to fall
owing to the unwillingness of num-
ber of the Peoples party delegates to
make any concessions to the other re
form forces present.

INSIST THEY ARE DEAD
COnvicts Insist They Cannot Be Tried
for Murder.

Topeka, April 4.-Can dead man
be tried for murder, and if convicted
hanged? This is the point that will be
raised when the five mutineers at the
federal penitentiary, charged with
murder, are placed on trial next
month in the federal: court. The five
convicts charged with murder are;
Frank Thomas, Gilbert Mullins, Neal
Jaco, Fred Robinson and Turner
Barnes. They killed guard during
the prison delivery at Fort Leaven-
worth last fall. Their. defense will be
that inasmuch as they were prison con-
victs they were legally dead and there
fore being dead they could commit no
offense. The authorities, however,
claim that they were the most vicious
and industrious dead" men that ever
infested a,prison; that they were alive
enough to kill an officer and that they
are alive enough to be tried Tor muir

NEW YORK WAS DRY
The First Sunday 1t has Been Dry in
Five Years.

New York, April 6-The police and
the liquor dealers gave Greater New
York dry Sunday today. Though
there were degrees of dryness, so to
speak, in different sections of the
metropolis, the day has no equal in
the suspension of the liquor traffic
since five years ago, when Superin-
tendent Thomas, of the Byrnes League,
closed the saloons one memorable
Sunday. On that occasion those seek
ing spurious refreshment were com
PEELED to resort to places outside of
Chief Byrnes' sphere of influence. His
task, however, is said to have been
easier than that which confronted the
police today, for he had no Raines
law hotels with their sandwiches to
contend with. These hotels must be
taken into consideration, therefore,
when the WORD dry" is used ia con-
nection with the events of today for
the man who had cash to buy sand
wich and drink had small difficulty
dealers had the temerity to keep open
and serve drinks alone, and of those
who did majority were invited to
visit the nearest police station, there
to remain until bondsmen appeared.
Unquestionably the driest part of
New York today was that secti on
where last Sunday the "second pla-
oon" of p olice madeso many arrests
This is known as the West Thirty
seventh street police precinct. Only
one alleged violator of the excise law
was found today by the lynx-eyed
officers, and only two or three Raines
law hotels opened their doors, and the
proprietors saw that the law was
closely observed.
In the "tenderloin, now known as
the white Light" district, liquor
was sold, but only on conditions which
proved drawbacks to many of the
thirsty. In many of the saloons, the
shades were drawn in the barrooms,
but it is said that improvised bars
were established in upstairs rooms.
In a few places the proprietors are
alleged to have established what is
known as the "Kansas speak easy"
or "blind pig" consisting of circu-
lar opening in wooden partition, in
to which was fitted a round board ar
ranged so as to swing about. On
each side of the round door was
shelf on which the bartender could
serve drinks to the waiter without be-
ing seen andeven if the police had sue
ceeded in getting in they could not
have arrested the bartender, as no one
could see him.

London, April Cecil Rhodes
will is here called the greatest testa-
ment since julius Casear's." There
is considerable comment that Canada
gets only nine scholarships and the
other British provinces none, while
the United States gets two for each
state and territory. The Pail Mall
Gazette saws: "Rhodes actually left
more for the American students than
the students of the whole British en-
pire. The greatAmerican nation can
not fail to be touched deeply by this
splendid bid for their friendship"
The st. James Gazette says: 1--WE
heartily hope the bequeath will draw
from America her best young citizens
and from no other desire than that it
should equip them to be pro6tab ble

PAT GROVES WORK
Suspected of Being IN the Burlington
Hold Up

ST. Joseph, Mo-, April Sit is be-
lieved by the police here that Pat
Grove was in the Burlington pessen-
ger hold up yesterday. Grove has
not been receiving his friends at any
stated place since tine kidnapping of
young Edward Cudahy, son of the
Omaha packer, but he is known to
have been in St. Joseph several times
since then. In the fall of 1893 Grove
was the leader of gang of robbers
that held up three passenger trains at
the city limits of ST. Joseph. For one
of these crimes he received four years.
Imprisonment at Jefferson City. The
manner in which this last holdup oc-
Cured, the detectives say, argues in
favor of Groves connection with the
crime. He held up the same train at
almost identically the same spot eight
years ago, securing from the express
companies about $500. This sum
was divided among six men, who com
posed the gang. The detectives say
there is little doubt that the robbers
are still in st. Joseph. They expect
TO make at least one arres: before
morning.
