Albert Lea Standard: OF all the
candidates prominently discussed for
the democratic presidential nominal
ton William Randolph Hearst comes
nearest to filing the bill. He has
never shirked his party nor its prinoi-
pies. His great papers daily preach
true democracy and he unfalteringly
advocates the principles Of Thomas
Je6erson-the rule of the people.
William Randolph Hearst is q demo-
Graf Of the best type, his democracy
cannot be questioned and the masses
are speedily learning to appreciate it
and the splendid fight he is making in
it's behalf.

that there shall be no imprisonment or

A SIGNIFICANT BANQUET.

The evidence has at last come ont
that all the talk Of President Roose-
veit's opposition to the trusts and
Wall Street was sheer political bun.

White House at the dinner on January
2Sth in honor of the Supreme Court
included A. J. Cassett, President of
the Pennsylvania railroad; James
Ssillman, President Of the First Ma
tional Bank of New York and head of
the Rockefeller banking syndicate :;
William F. Draper, head of the cot.
ton machinery ::trust; Representative
Littaure. charged with Illegal profits
from glove contracts; Norman B.
Resm. director of the Steel Trust ::
besides other great financial maenates
and corporation attorneys. As these
great bsnquets are In the public eye
and 1sxploited In the society columns
OF the newspapers, the invitation to
the trusts and financial millionaires
shows plainly that all the talk about
their being opposed to the nomination
and election: Of Roosevelt is but an
endeavor. to captivate the "plain
people" with the idea that the repub-
lioan candidate is opposed to the
trusts and will stay their extortion.
The president of the United States.
like other people, does not invite
guests with whom he does not wish
to associate, or with whom he is not
on the most friendly terms. The state
banquet to the Supreme Court Is one
OF the great events of the Washington
socia. season and to be invited to meet
the Chief Justice and his associates
is considered great honor and much
sought after. The guests are carefully
selected and with generalization. It is
therefore strangely significant that tie
president should select the head OF the
great Rockefeller syndicate and one of
the leading members of the Morgan
Steel. Trust to meet the judges who
have an important trust case now IN
der consideration and would, If the
administration was really opposed to
the trusts, have these very men on
trail for conspiracy in restraint Of
trade. Whatever object President
Roosevelt may have had in thus
bringing the judiciary in touch with
the trusts. he has most certainly
served notice on the voters that he Is
on the most friendly terms with the
great corporation interests and the
most important members Of the Wall
Street crowd and the Money Power.

phia to the dredgers of the American
Dredging company. The tug left Deedy
island at II o'clock last night bound for
Philadelphia after the storm had APP
parently subsidized. At o'clock this

was off the Charleston lightship yes

asked that they be towed to the light
ship A towline was passed and short

away and soon went down and the
eight men were plunged into the ocean.

SURPRISE BURGLARS
Citizens Await Them and Fill
One With Shot

COSHOCTON, Ohio, Sept. 15.-Alva
Rivers lies in prison here mortally
wounded. He was shot by posse of
citizens while he was trying to blow
the bank at Warsaw, ten miles from
here. His brother Verne was captured
later, after desperate hand-to hand
fight. The officers prepared for the
robbery with local citizen, William
King, who was taken into the conf
dence of the Rivers boys.
Six citizens were waiting on guard
at Warsaw, and when Alva Rivers
broke into the bank they poured the
contents of their shotguns into him.
He has fifty-six shots in his body, but
holds a remarkable grip on life, and
swears vengeance on King. The
brothers have been terroriZing the
community and We're suspected of bur-
glaries and safe blowings recently.
Fifty sticks of dynamite that they had
with them at Warsaw have been iden-
titled as part of the stock stolen from
a magazine lately.

the attending surgeon says that he es-
capped with bruises and a broken leg.
Nature of the Injuries
Others injured were Herman Wo-
jain, back and chest injured; Guy
Horseman, two ribs fractured; Nathan
Lanners, nose broken and injured
about the head; Ed McPheters, leg
broken; Victor Edquist, leg broken;
Willie Madden, head bruised.
Some were conveyed to the hospital,
while others were taken to doctors
offices and still others, who were not
seriously injured, went to their homes.
One of the horses attached to the
hose wagon was drowned and the wag-
on was badly smashed. Two spans of
the bridge are completely ruined and it
will be some time before the bridge can
be put in use again. There are some
who advocate the abandonment of the
structure and the construction Of an
iron bridge Immediately, inasmuch as
the pontoon bridge has been the scene
of many accidents during the past
three or four years.
The floor of the span which went
down lies even with the water, and
there are many who are of the opinion
that other bodies are beneath the span.
AS nearly as can be learned none is
missing.

AGE PENSION ORDER
IS LOOKED INTO
Parker Constitution Club inds
the Presidents Act Was
Unconstitutional


NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The- Parker
Constitution club of this city has pre-
sented the following report on the
charge that the executive pension or
der recently issued by President
Roosevet's pension commissioner was
unconstitutional:
This report does not deal with, OF in
any way question, the wisdom or pro-
priety of the pension laws of the
United States, and it assumes the right
and duty of congress to enact a sys-
tenn of pensions. The report is the
first of a series dwelling on specific
acts of President Roosevelt out Of
which has grown the accusation
against him of unconstitutional con-
duct. The general inquiry is as to the
propriety of his conduct when meas
ured by the constitutional standard
and his action in the pension matter is
the instance now up for discussion.
The order in question was issued on
March Is, 1904, about three months
before his nomination. The pertinent
part is as follows:
Ordered G), In the adjudica ton of pen
sion claims under said act of June 81
1890 as amended, it shall be taken and
considered as an evidential fact if the
contrary does not appear, and if all other
legal requirements are properly met
when claimant has passed the age of
sixty-two. years, he is disabled one-half
IN ability to perform manual labor, and
is entitled to be rated at Sc per month
after sIXty-five years, at So per month;
after slXty-eight years, at $40 per month;
and after seventy years, al $12 per month.
Presidents Alleged Authority
dent is unconstitutional where author
ity for it cannot be found stated in
the United States constitution. is not
to be disputed. On that head we need
only refer the reader to our prelimi-
nary general report. The authority
asserted for issuing the order in ques-
ton is the clause in Article H., sec
ton 3, which provides that the presi-
dent ''shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed" OF this clause
the supreme court of the United
States, which is the authority to con-
strue the constitution, said in the case
of Kendall VS.. United States (reported
in II Peters, 52q, that: ITO contend
that the obligation imposed on the
president to see the laws faithfully ex-
ecuted, implies a power to forbid their
execution, is novel construction of
the constitution, and entirely mad
missible.'' This is but a judicial state
ment of what is common sense. If
under the guise of carrying out stat
ute of congress-, President Roosevelt
nullifies one of it's provisions, he is
guilty on the charge.
The orde: in question is practically
an announcement that the department
will give a pension certificate to every
applicant sixty-two years old. Such
was the evident intention of the exec
utive, as it is beyond intelligent suppo-
istion that anybody sixty-two years
old who applied for pension would
trouble the department with affirma-

terrible catastrophe occurred in this
city at o'clock this afternoon, where
by it is known that two persons are
dead and a score or more injured.
The Waterman on the pontoon bridge
noticed flames at the east end of the
long span one span away from the
pontoon. and sounded the whistle. The
fire department responded and hun
dreds of men and boys gathered on the
bridge and the levee to watch the
flames, which were fast eating their
way toward the center of the span.
The hose team and hose cart ventured
out upon the span and when the sup
ports at the east end had burned away
the span fell, carrying about forty peo-
pie with it into the st. CroiX. Some

others were pinned under boards, but

bers of the crew of H { M. s. Grafton
report the presence Of the Russian
armed auxiliary cruiser Korean in the
Pacific off the northernScoa of Van
eouver island stea1nfng slowly south
ward. They expect that the; Korean
will come to Esquimault or Victoria.
She is described as a. larger vessel
than the Lena and is Commanded by
an officer of higher rank in the Rus
sian navy. The news has caused
much excitement at Esquimault,
where preparations to deal with her in
ease she should enter are now making.
To Be Disanned and lnterned
WASHINGTON, b, c.. Sept. 15.-
Acting Secretary Of State Adee today
gave out the Following sta teinent:
The president has today issued an or
der through the acting secretary of state
directing that the Russian armed trans
port Lena now at San Francisco be
taken in custody by the naval authorities
of the United States and disarmed The
main features about the Conditions pre-
scribed are that the Lena be taken to
the Mare island navy. yard and there dis
armed by removal of small guns, breech
blocks of large guns, small arms, am
munition and ordnance stores and such
other dsna ntlement as may be prescrib-
ed by the commandment ofsthe navy yard;
that the captain give Nritten guaranty
that the Lena shall not leave San Fran
cisco until peace .shalt$have been con-
eluded; that the. officers and crew shall
be paroled not to leave San Francisco I'M
til some other understanding as to their
disposal may be reached between the
United States government and both the

vessel may be removed to private dock
for such reasonable repairs as will make
her seaworthy and preserve her in good
condition during her detention, and may
be so repaired at the navy yard if the
Russian commander should elect; that
while at private dock the commandment
of the navy yard at Mare island shall have
custody of the ship, and the repairs shall
be overseen by an engineer officer to be
detailed by the eommandant, and that.
when so repaired, if peace shall not then
/ have been concluded the vessel shall be
taken back to the Mare island and be
there held in custody until the end of the
war.
At Commanders Request
This action has been taken upon the
written request Of the commander of
the Lena addressed to Rear Admiral
Goodrich, setting forth that as the yes
sci is incapable of putting 70 sea with
out needful repairs she must disarn,
and asking that needful repairs be per.
mitted after disarmament. The ssecre-
tary of the navy has telegraphed the
presidents order to; San francisco and
given instructions to Admiral Good
rich and to Capt. McCalla, the. com
mandant of the Mare Island navy yard,
to carry out it's provisions.
The main question regarding the
Lena having been settled, the officers
of the government and the two bel
ligerent governments will devote them
selves to reaching an understanding
