BALES TURNED DOWN.

Governor Hayward has revoked the
notary public commission OF Willard o.
Bales, the marrying squire Of Fort
Mill township, and from hence for.
ward the marrying squire viii cease to
officiate. - .lgt n
It will be remembered that large
number Of people In Mr.. Bailes's neigh.
borhood have been endeavoring for
quite while to secure revocation OF
his commission. They sent In o strong
petition about year ago, and when
the governor set about the thorough
investigation that was right and proper
under the circumstances, he had the
misfortune to be misled by. the advice
and counsel of men who happened to
be cronies, friends ard partizanB Of
Bales. '"fE -,l.t,'a usA --tA'l
But in the light Of recent develop
ments, Governor Hayward took the
matter up again. He became con-
vinced that he had been grossly de-
ceived. and as soon as this conviction
dawned upon him he chopped on
Bailes's official head. I" 'ti
The removal was made under the
provisions of Section s62 Of the code
Of 1902, which authorizes the governor
to remove notaries public at his pleas
ure for cause. The basis Of the relnov-
al in this case was some Of the ridicu-
lous literature that Ilailes has been
circulating, and which has fallen Into
the hands Of the governor. o"

Continuance Will Be Asked
For When Bankruptcy

panion a Young Woman
Charged With Insanity

CLEVELAND, Dec. 1S.-The exam
ination of Mrs. Chadwick in the bank
ruptcy proceedings against her is set
for tomorrow before Referee Reming-
ton, but 1t is considered certain she will
not testify If present at the hearing.
Her attorney, p. F. Dawley, said to-
night that he would request continu-
ance tomorrow, as he had not yet had
time to investigate any phase of the
case. He will decline TO allow her to
give any testimony.
The only other persons summoned in
the bankruptcy hearing to give any in
formation they may have of property
owned by Mrs. Chadwick are Emil
Hoover, Mrs. Chadwicks son, and
Freda Stromstern, her nurse.
Receiver Loeser said tonight that he
did not expect any more witnesses
would be called for the present. He
has arranged to insure for $50,000 the
Chadwick property in his possession.
Mrs. Chadwick to-day spent her first
Sunday in jail She now has COM
panion in the jail, young woman, de-
tanned for examination as to her sanity.
The woman seemed much interested in
Mrs. Chadwick and the two conversed
quite freely.
Mrs. Chadwick was visited to-day by
DR.. Wall, who said she was still very
weak and nervous but improving.

MORE FREEDOM
FOR PEASANTS
Witte Recommends New
Laws, Which the Car Ap-
proves, to Aid DOwntrOdden
WITH DELIGHT
Disabilities to Be Removed
and People to Be Given
Opportunity to Advance

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. Ism.
Witte, to whom as chairman of the spe-
cial committee appointed in 1902 to in
vestigate the question of the better
ment of the conditions of rural enter
prise and to revise the peasant laws.
was given the task of sitting the enor-
nous mass of evidence collected. in
cluding the opinions of II, 1000 of the best
qualified peasants. landlords, merchants
and manufacturers, which filed several
thousand volumes. has completed a gi
gant1c task. His conclusions, which
have just been published, are in line
with the most enlightened opinion for
ameliorating the peasants condition.
These conclusions, which are under
stood to have the Endorsement of EN-
peror Nicholas and Minister Of the In
terror Sviatopolk-M Mirsky are expected
to be adopted by the commission as the
basis of the new laws.
The press halls the memorandum not
only as signal victory in the direction
OF real national progress, but as mark
ing definite shelving of the plan de-
veloped by the late Minister of the In
terror Won Plehwe for extending the
powers of local officers over the peas
creasing, the tutelage exercised over
them. Won Plehwe's purpose was to
rush through a-law before the commits
sion could complete it's labors.
In all points Witte's recommends
tions aim for the completion of the
emancipation act of 1851 by ending the
treatment of peasants as a class apart,
giving them a method to free them
selves forever from the soil, placing
fharp xrrffh oil nfh
classes of the population and removing
the restrictions upon initiative enter
prise, which have heretofore crushed
out all their ambition. In order to ac-
complish this he proposes to abolish
practically the whole system of laws
applicable to peasants alone. At the
same time the backward condition of
the vast majority of the peasants and
the fact that if placed on a complete
and disposition of property they would
soon become the prey of the shrewder
among them as well as of merchants,
who would like to possess their lands
and keep them in a state of perpetual
debt, is fully recognized.
Witte therefore recommends the pres
ervation ofScertain laws designed solely
for the peasants protection, such as
the inaIienability of communal lands
and institutions. For the management
of the one and the freedom of the other
from debt special laws will be recon-
mended, supplemented by methods
whereby peasants may leave their COM
munes under safeguarded conditions.
or delimit lands for individual owner
ship. There also is in contemplation
the organization of a system of land
credit and scheme for the settlement
of state lands by peasants who want
larger opportunities.
The Russ remarks: Like a golden
thread through it all runs considera-
ton for the peasant as citizen of the
empire, and no longer as a patriarch"
The memorandum is in sharp contrast
with the draft prepared by Won
Plehwe's assistant, Stiskinsky, which
disregarded entirely the opinions so
laboriously collected by the commission.

have been engaged in a newspaper con-
troversy relative to the question
whether Vice Admiral Roiestvensky's
squadron is strong enough TO cope with
the ships of Vice Admiral Togo. with
out reinforcements. Admiral Birileff ex-
presses the affirmative opinion on this
point, declaring that beyond question
the Japanese ships have suffered Sc
verely, as evidenced by the fact that
the japanese have ordered one hundred
and dght armor plates, fourteen for
the battleship Mikasa alone. Neverthe-
less, he considers X to be absolutely
vital to prepare a third SQUADRON.

replace the second squadron.
The admiral says every days delay
is misdemeanor and every weeks de-
lay a crime. The business of naval Off
GERS, therefore, he remarks. is to Law
aside their pens until the war is over
and attend to business. There is no
time now to try to locate the blame
for the fact that Russia's navy was no
better prepared.

left says, I'VE are all guilty. If our
