ROOSEVELT WITH MCBRIDE.

The Union seeks to discredit the
candidacy of Frank Dement, for mayor
and Jerry Brown for chief of police by
saying that they are being backed by
Governor Mcbride. While it is not
true that Governor Mcbride has mani
tested any interest in the local cam
paign. it is doubtful whether the ma
chine ticket will gain anything by
the Unions attempt to drag state is
sues into the contest. Well-infOrmed
men must see that the tide of public
opinion is now strongly in favor of
Governor Mcbride President ROose-
welt and the governor agree perfectly
in their fight for fair control of the
! railroads. During the presidents visit
to the state he showed the governor
marked attention. practically compel
ling Senator Ankeny to treat Governor
Mcbride with civility. Republicans
who want to please President Roose-
welt will support Governor Mcbride
and his friends
The Spokane Spokesman Review
said recently:
Agents of the railroad lobby are
Boosting that they will defeat Govern
or Mcbride in the republican state
convention next year. They made the
same boast before the last state con-
vention. Loud Boosting is a part of
their tactics.
The truth is that Governor Nc
Brides position is much stronger
now than it was a year ago Then the
merger was al. but an accepted fact.
and many disinterested observers
| thought that it could not be success
fully combatted. Since then the mer
ger has been defeated in the courts.
and the principle of government con
troll of railroads has been greatly
strengthened. both in the nation and
| the state.
In this fight for fair and reason
able state control of the railroads
Governor Mcbride will have the
weight of the moral support of the
administration of President Roose-
Welt The two men have identical
principles. Both are standing on 1ne
righteous doctrine that no man or set
OF men shall put themselves above
the law. Both demand the punish
ment of crimes of cunning and of
greed. And both cherish a fine scorn
for rascality in public place.
In their fight on Governor Mcbride
the lobby, therefore. must carry a
heavy handicap. They can not sue
cessfully assail the honesty, the cour-
age or the ability of his administra-
ton They can not make it appear
that he is not in close harmony with
the national administration. Logical
ly, when they ask the republican state
! convention 10 defeat Mcbride, they
will be asking the republican party of
this state to punish him for doing his
plain duty before the law. and they
will ask the party to give its official
approval to their long record of mis-
deeds

RUSSIA WILL ENFORCE POLICY
Notwithstanding China's Refusal to
Grant Demands, Czar VIII stay
I'm Manchurin.

PEKING, May 29.-Paul Lessar, the Rus
sian minister, returned here tonight after
a visit to st. Petersburg No radical ac-
ton regarding Manchuria is reported, but
the course OF events indicates that Russia
will enforce its policy there, notwithstand-
ing China's formal refusal to grant it's de-
mands.
The attempt TO open new towns in Man
churia to foreign trade is likely to fail
The diplomats are watching this feature OF
the situation eagerly as being a test of
Russia's influence. The Chinese continue
to oppose the proposal, representing that
they never intended to do so. and they add
that under the present circumstances 1t is
particularly undesirable as 1t would cause
complications with Russia.
The treaty commissioners point out that
the admission of other foreigners to Man
churia would strengthen the opposition to
Russian advance. The American and Jap
anese treaties are likely to be signed with
out this provision.
YOKOHAMA, May 29.-The combined op-

SUFFERING FROM LoCKJAW
Young Man walks Into Police sta
tion and Soon Goes Into
Commissions.

A young man came into the police sta
tion yesterday evening in an advanced
stage of lockjaw and was soon seized with
commissions. He was placed under the in,
fuence of an anesthetic and removed to
the hospital. IL is not known whether he
will recover or not; the disease had run
three days, but the sufferer is of strong
constitution.
He came into the office OF Surgeon Tros-
tier and, pulling out a small notebook,
wrote with difficulty that he wanted to see
a doctor, and when Trostler indicated that
he was such, wrote, What is the matter
with me?" His jaw was set, but about an
inch open, and he could not speak. In
answer to questions he wrote that he had
stepped on a nail three days before. He
was soon seized with commissions and As
sstant City Physician Arnold and Surgeon
Trostler had to use the chloroform. Later
when he came out from the influence he
motioned for paper and wrote, please tell
mother, Mrs. Mary Marshall, Mount Au-
burn, o." He was again attacked and the
anesthetic used. Father McGovern was
sent for, at the nodded assent of the suf-
ferer to the question as to whether he
wished a priest, and he was then sent to
the hospital In the small book was found
his name, Frank Marshall, with the ad-
dresses, Hannibal, Mo, and Louisville,
KY. and the Information that he was n
years old and had worked in pumping
station. From various notes in the book he
had evidently been a traveller.

BooDLING WAS THE FASHION
So Says Grand Jury Mt st. Louis Re-
= EardinE Methods of Passing
LegislatiOn.

ST. LOUIS, May 29.-In making its final
report the April grand jury reviews the evil
dence concerning legislative boodling and
among other suggestions strongly recon-
mends that more stringent laws be enacted
for the punishment of lobbying at the state
capitol and that the statute of limitations
be extended to seven years. 1t is also rec
commended that franchises obtained through
boodling methods be forfeited.
The grand jury was in session thirty
nine days examined 1873 witnesses, re-
turned 14O true bills and thirteen mot true
bills" The report says in part:
The testimony VI, have heard has shown a
state of affairs su1ost amazing. We have
listened to the coMtessions of state senators
and were we at liberty to make known all
they have told us the recital would appall
and astound the citizens of this state. The
extent of the venality existing among the
makers of our state laws is alarming to
those who believe in free government
Our Investigations have gone back for
twelve years and during that time the evil
dence before us shows that corruption has
been the usual and accepted thing I'm state
legislation. and that, too without interfer-
ence or hindrance. The tendency has been
to hide or ignore rather than to expose and
punish this infamous crime.
Laws have been sold to the highest bidder
in numerous instances that we have evil
dence of. We believe that laws should be
passed making it unlawful for lobbyists TO
ply their profession in the manner that
sornc of them now operate, and providing
for the forfeiture of franchises procured by
corrupt methods.
We have found some indictments for
bribery and there would be many more
were II not for the statute of limitations,
which should be extended to seven years
from the date of the crime.
The report concludes by thanking Mr.
Folk the circuit attorney and Mr. Hancock
the assistant circuit attorney. for their as
slstance In the prosecution OF crime.

ACCUSED OF BRIGANDAGE
Democratic Labor Union Leader of
Manila IL Ordered Under
Arrest.

MANILA, May 29.-Following the seizure
and examination of the books of the DEM
ocratic Labor union, the government today
arrested President Domlnadnor Gomez on
charges OF misappropriating funds, brigan-
age, fraudulent sales of stock and organic
ing an Illegal association.
over 100000 pesos were collected In dues
and contributions. The books show a de-
felt of 10000 pesos. II is believed TO be
possible that part of the amount was stolen
before Gomez was elected president.
The government charges that part OF the
fund was to furnish arms and food 10 the
insurgents of Risal province. This. with
Gomez's correspondence with Guillermo and
other leaders in the field. forms the basis
of the brigandage charge.
The union has a membership of 5000, is
closely afiliated with the nationalist party
and is strongly in sympathy with the in
surgents. The arrest OF Gomez has ex-
cited the natives and will increase the
feeling OF unrest IN Manila, which has
been disturbed lately by reports of the
landing OF arms. The situation. however.
is not serious.

ITS PLEA FOR ARBITRATION
MOhODk Conference would Have

LAKE MOHoNK, N. Y, May e-At the
concluding session Of the arbitration con-
ference tonight the following platform was
adopted:
The principle of international arbitration

The Hague convention. IL Is gratifying to
state that largely through the Influence

Hague conference, prestige has been given
The Hague tribunal by the submission to
It of international differences
This conference thanks our government
for what IL has done in its behalf, especially
in the recent Venezuelan controversy. This
conference believes that the next step in
the steady march forward should be the
conclusion of treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United states and Great Britain
to be followed by similar agreements be-
tween the other signatory nations to The
Hague convention 10 refer disputes to The
Hague tribunal. Such treaties would make
the present implied Obligations Of the ma
tions signing them explicit, binding and
permanent instead of leaving them as now
and to be determined from time to time
and largely by circumstances.
This conference believes that the best
public opinion Of the United States and
Great Britain, neighbors and knsfolk as
they are, recognizes the wisdom and JUS
tice of such an arrangement and that the
example thus set would be followed speed
lily by the other powers. 1t would lead
other nations TO The Hague tribunal
God and the consequent brotherhood of
man, the conference looks forward to new
victories for its cause even more remark
able than those already won, notwithstand-
ing the difficulties In the way of extending
the application of international arbitra-
ton. Many motives may inspire arbitra-
tion-fear, horror Of war, dread of expense
but Justice Is the only safe considera-
tion for the worlds peace, In the Alaskan
boundary dispute who should not prefer
that justice should prevail even IL we make
no gain of hills and harbors? America

This conference summons all possible
agencies to teach and preach the gospel OF
justice. Business men and great corpora
tions teachers in schools, ministers of God
the public press-let our whole country
support the great motto and seek to live
up to It: America loves Justice" It APP
peals to every man and woman to aid In
Increasing and organizing the general senti-
ment in favor of international arbitration
so as to secure by the inVincible power OF
public opinion the employment of It in the
maximum number of possible cases, in the
hope that wars may cease and that peace
