AFRAID OF BEAVERS2
Friends Say District Attorney
Youngs Is.
REASON NOT ARRESTED
briggs AND MILLER MAY NOT BE
BROUGHT TO TRIAL.
Both Are at Liberty Under Heavy
Bail - Interesting Story
From New York.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September 1.-The CONNER
cial Advertiser today says:
Lawyers and other men in Brooklyn who
have closely followed the prosecution of
Beavers are of the opinion that United
States District Attorney Youngs does not
dare proceed further against him for fear
of freeing him from legal net which. with
the aid Of the federal grand jury, he has
woven around him.
It is said the government prosecutor
realizes the thread which holds together
several indictments against Beavers is 50
slender that, If the former post office Of
fetal is arrested and accorded a prelimi-
nary examination before a United States
commissioner, as is his legal right, he
would unquestionably be discharged.
Testimony Wrongfully Used.
1t Is charged by friends of Beavers that
testimony of former Representative briggs
and the agent of the Brandt-Dent Cash
Register Company named Miller was
wrongfully used by Youngs before the fed
eral grand jury in Brooklyn which returned
indictments against Beavers.
These persons further say that, with
counsel to guide and warn them, as in or
dtnary cases, these same witnesses would
be unable to make out a case against Beav-
erS in a preliminary examination following
his arrest, of sufficient strength to war
rant his being held. If discharged on a pre-
liminary examination that would end the
case against him.
Beavers Lawyers Pleased.
Morgan & seabury. Beavers lawyers, are
well pleased with the present status of the
case against their client
Both briggs and Miller are still under in
dictment in Brooklyn. Both are at liberty
under heavy bail.
While District Attorney Youngs expresses
himself with confidence Of convictions in
these cases and in Beavers case, 1t is COM
mon talk around the federal building in
Brooklyn that neither briggs nor Miller
will be brought to trial at the coming GRIM
inal term of the United States circuit court
That term will be convened the first Mon
day in October. with Judge Edward B..
Thomas presiding.
Youngs is Reticent.
Meanwhile Beavers still remains at lib
erty.
Youngs refuses to discuss the cases in
any way. further than to say he has no in
tentton OF dropping the prosecution under
indictments.
Beavers arrest might be easy, as he is
still In Manhattan, and the warrant could
be turned over to the United States mar
shal in Manhattan by Brooklyn author
tiles and served by him.
Beavers Is said to desire arrest. So far
Youngs has made no effort to have Beavers
taken into custody, further than to urge
him to return to Brooklyn.

ROYAL COMMISSION REPORTS.
Recommends Department of Immigra-
ton for Great Britain.

London, Aug. 12.-The report Of the
royal commission on alien immigra-
ton was issued Tuesday. 1t recon-
mends that the immigration of certain
classes of aliens into the United
Kingdom be subjected to state control
and proposes a number of regulations
and the establishment of a depart
ment of immigration.
The specific recommendations made
In the report are similar in many re-
spects to the provisions Of the United
States immigration act, except that no
educational requirement is proposed.
In some directions the regulations are
more stringent than the American
regulations. The undesirable" classes
stated in the report include: Prosti-
tutes, lunatics. convicted criminals,
and any n who is in danger of be-
coming a public charge.
Provision is made for the deporta-
ton of immigrants, who may be proved
to be undesirable. within two years of
their landing. and the vessel import
ing them will be compelled to re-
patriate them without compensation.
The proposed medical inspection is
similar to that in the United States.
The penalty for supplying false data
to the immigration inspectors is de-
pOrtation.
The immigration department may
specify certain over-populated areas,
as prohibited territory for fresh i'm
migrants. In the case of the convic-
ton of an immigrant for felony or mis-
demeanor, the court may include de-
portation as part of the sentence.

Paris, Aug. 11.-Eighty-four bodies
have been recovered and the death list
will probably exceed a hundred in the
underground railway disaster which
occurred here during the night.
One electric train or the M%etropoli-
tan Electric railway was stopped by
the motor refusing to act properly.
Another train arrived and pushed the
crippled train forward. The dam
aged motor set fire to the engine Of
the first train. raising great quantities
Of smoke. The electric lights on the
trains then went out. and a terrible
panic ensued among the passengers,
who were mostly of the working
classes. They got out and tried to
grope their way through the smoky
tunnel, but many were killed by the
current in the rail and others died Of
soffocation.
The terror of those who remained on
the train was increased by a third
train crashing into the fiery mass, and
sending another panic-stricllen crowd
to death in the tunnel. 1t was several
hours before any bodies were recov-

TURKISH TROOPS DESERVING

SURGENTS IN ORDER TO GET

London, Aug. 1.-THE Times today
prints a dispatch from Constantinople
which says the palace officials there
are distracted by the continual re-
ceipt of bad news and the necessity
of dispatching fresh troops. Bulga-
rian outrages are occurring daily, &C.
companied by acts of cruelty equal to
the worst deeds ever committed by the
Turks.
The Towns of Krussevo and Krit-
chevo are still in the hands of the in
%Surgents.
Some anxiety is felt for the safety of
DR.. Mandelstam. the acting Russian
counsel at Uskub, who was appointed
to succeed the late NJ. Rostkowski. In
spite of the first refusal of the gov
eminent to give him al escort, DR..
Mandelstam insisted upon proceeding
to his new post and. after referring
the matter to Hilmi Pasha, the inspec-
tor general, he obtained one and start
ed upon his own responsibility across
the country for Monastir. Nothing
has been heard of him since.
The sultan has offered an indemnity
Of $4,000 to the widow of the late NJ.
Rostkowski. She is a member of the
well KNOWN RUSSIAN FAMILY OF Mufa-
vieff, and NJ. Rostkowski was related
to the late Prince Labanoff, who was
Russian minister of foreign affairs.
hence the anxiety of the Turkish au-
thorities to have the matter satisfac-
torily settled with Russia.
NJ. Bostkowski was in disfavor with
the Turkish authorities at Monastir,
owing to his persistence in investigat.
ing all the fighting in the district.
It is rumored that the Turkish
troops in Macedonia have become so
d~emoralized by their failure to re.
ceive pay that hundreds of them are
deserving and selling their rifles to
insurgents in order to obtain pro-
visions.
