THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mr.. Melville T., Stone, manager Of the
Associated Press, in the current Cen
fury tells the interesting story of his
successful efforts for the removal Of the
censorship on foreign news in Russia.
When he went TO st. Petersburg I'm De-
cember 1903, every conceivable obsta-
Gle was put in the way Of the foreign
journalist who attempted to telegraph
news thence to any alien newspaper or
agency and the business Of news-g gath
cring was under ban In the Cars en-
prc Now correspondents are as free to
write and send matter from any part OF
Russia, except in the territory covered
by the war, as from any other country
in the world. The doors Of all the min
istries have been opened to correspond
ents, who make daily visits to the war,
navy foreign and interior Offices, and
are given the news with as much free
dom as IN Washington. This radical
change was brought about through the
Cars consideration Of the conditions
presented to him by Mr.. Stone In a
personal interview, and by the Cars
own decision and command.
AS a consequence Of these arrange
mcnts." says Mr. stone, "the Associated
Press has been able 10 usurp In large
measure the functions Of the diplomat
and ! think II makes for universal
peace In a remarkable way, Instead OF
the long and tedious methods of diplo-
macy as formerly the story is told
with authority by the Associated Press,
The point OF view OF a country is pre-
scented no longer by diplomatic commu-
nication, but in the dispatches Of the
Associated Press"

The President Refuses 20 Release Man
Convicted OF Election Frauds In ST. Louis.

Convicted OF Election Frauds In 81. Louis.
WASHINGTON, May I2-President Roose-
welt to-day refused to pardon Nathan
Levin Of st. Louis, who is serving a five
years sentence In the Missouri State prison
at jefferson City. The Presidents action
recalls the election frauds perpetrated
in st. Louis in 1902. The Democratic or
ganization was charged with devising
scheme Of getting two ballots into the
hands OF large numbers Of foreigners by
making false afidavits as to their right TO
vote.
Levin was chosen 10 work in a quarter
OF the city where foreigners were numerous,
and was arrested for using illegal meth
DDS TO secure the naturalization Of many
immigrants who turned up as voters at
the polls. On May 10, 1908, Levin was con-
victed and sentenced 70 serve five years in
Jefferson City. There we're three other
convictions, Thomas Barrett, clerk OF the
Circuit Court, and the alleged leader OF
the naturalization scheme, was foun d
guilty and Is now in the Missouri peni-
tertiary.
Levin was the first OF the convicted men
10 apply for a pardon, and II is not likely
that there will be other applications IN
view Of the prompt manner in which his
petition was turned down. II Is under
stood that IL the President had acted favor
able on his petition, the others would have
made similar applications. Levin, when
the frauds took place, was president of
the Hebrew branch Of the jefferson Club,
the leading Democratic political organiza-
ton OF st. Louis.
The President also refused 10 pardon
Arthur l.. North Of St. Louis, who was
cor victed IN the Federal Court for the
embezzling letters which came into his pos
session as postal clerk and was sentenced
10 three years In the peniten tiary.
The President restored civil rights 10
Joseph Smith, convicted In the Indian
Territory; Monroe Bolen, convicted in the
Eastern District OF Kentucky; Maurice
Bastiste, con yicted in the Western District
Of Arkansas, and Thomas +. Berry, con-
victed in the Southern District OF New York.

After hearing the evidence, Justice

recognize the validity Of the Illinois decree,
because, though undoubt edly Mrs. Littell
was a resident OF Illinois there was no
marital domicile such as the laws Of this

the marriage, he said, as he personally
believed that the public welfare would be
better served by a decree unfolding the

by immigration Inspector at Hands
OF Hungarian POlice-His status in
Doubt since He wasn't . Diplomat.
WASHINGTON. May l7.-Bsllamy storer,
United States Ambassador TO Austria
Hungary. has asked the State Department
for Instructions concerning the case Of
Marcus Braun Of New York, president Of
the Hungarian Republican Club. a personal
friend Of President Roosevelt. and selected
by him 10 60 to Austria Hungary as an
immigration inspector, who was jailed
and fined for resenting the action Of a Hun
Earian detective whom he caught opening
his mail.
The State Department has turned the
matter over 20 the Department Of Com
meroe and Labor. There u home doubt
as 10 what this Government can do. Mr..
Braun is on a mission TO Austria-Hungary
10 Inspect the character Of immigrants
from that country by special appointment
Of the President but he is not clothed with
diplomatic privileges. II Mr.. Braun were
connected with the Embassy he could
quickly gain redress.
Some secrecy surrounds Mr.. Braun's
mission. but it Is understood that he went
20 Austria Hungary, where he was born,
TO secure information, II possible, which
would substantiate the suspicious OF this
Government that criminals and other un-
desirable citizens we're being shipped out OF
Austria Hungary 20 this country by the
SCORE. He has been an immigration In
spector for two years and went on his pres
ent mission on April l.
As an employee OF this Government
action will probably be taken TO establish
his integrity TO the Hungarian authorities.
Their action, unofficiAlly reported, In warn
ing the public against Mr. Braun, will UNI
doubtedly lead TO some move. II will
probably be a note TO the Austrian Govern
ment. through Mr.. Storer, saying that Mr..
Braun is an agent OF the American Govern
ment and that as such he Is entitled 70 every
consideration.
The police authorities Of Hungary were
evidently suspicious Of Mr. Braun's move
ments and endeavored TO secure intorma-
ton concerning his work by prytng into
his mail. Mr.. Braun asserts that he dis
covered a detective doing this. The police
charge that Mr.. Braun threatened the
detective and accordingly was arrested
He was found guilty and fined $40.
The Budapest police declare that MIR;
Braun has no credentials and nothing bad
been said to that Government concerning
his being in Austria Hungary. Mr.. Braun
has letters from the Department OF Com
merce and Labor showing that he IL EN-
ployed 10y that Department and also pass
port from the State Department showing
him to be an employee Of this Government.

Presice,t Ramsey says the Governor
Wanted a Postage stamp Frelght Rate.

want ed \ Postage stamp Freight Hate
WASHINGTON, May l2.-Joseph Ramsey,
Jr., president Of the Wabash road, resumed
his testimony before the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce this morning. He
took up various statements made yesterday
by Gov. Cummins Of Iowa and answered
his arguments regarding the incomes OF
railroads and his statements as 10 discrim-
nations against localities
Gov. Cummins, he said, had not taken
into confederation the natural advantages
OF Chicago In complaining that It's rates
were better than those Of Iowa points
There was no commission that could be
appointed that could take away the water
advantages OF a place, and II would be OF
no use 70 turn the rate question over 70
commission on that ground. What Gov
Cummins wanted, Mr.. Ramsey said, was
postage stamp freight rate, the charges
being the same 10 all points, He ridiculed
the idea Of Government ownership OF rail-
roads, and said the appropriations Tor
railways under that plan would make the
army, navy and all other great bills look
like a drop in the bucket.
Referring 10 the advocacy Of maximum
rate by Government officials, Mr.. Ramsey
said the people who we're urging Govern
ment rate control did not want maximum
rate. What they wanted, he said, was
removal Of the Determinations against
their community and the keeping II on that
Of the other fellow. He lkened the maxi
mum rate question TO a rubber band, which
was elastic only up to the point where II
was stretched 70 It's greatest length. Then
IL broke. That would be the way with the
roads; they would break and the Govern
mant would have 10 take them.
The remainder Of to-day's session was
devoted TO hearing reports from different
parts Of the country, all Of which protested
against rate legislation.

WASHINGTON, May l2-The velocity test
for armor plate for vessels Of the navy
has been materially increased, according
10 specifications made by the Bureau Of
Ordnance Of the Navy Department, and
II during the tests to be made this summer
at the Indian Head proving ground the
results are satisfactory the United States
Navy will be equipped with armor fully
IS per cent. stronger than any other navy
In the world.
The tests IN the past have shown. when
compared with all the figures the Depart
ment has been able TO get concerning other
navies, that the American armOr Is able
90 withstand a greater test than any other.
The coming engagement between the Rus
sian and Japanese fleets is watched with
interest by ordnance officers Of the navy,
because nearly all the japanese vessels
have armor Of English make. while four Of
the Russian battleships carry American
armor
The change in the test was made at the
suggestion OF the Carnegie and Bethlahem
steel companies when they submitted
their bids early this year for 1922 tons OF
armor plate for the hattleship New Hamp-
shire and the cruisers Montana and North
Carolina. IL was said at the time that the
desire was TO make a harder test for the

vale company made a much lower bid than

WASHINGTON May IL. - Government
officers here do not regard the yellow fever
situation in Panama with feelings Of anxiety.
The present outbreak is regarded as being
well under control and with but little chance
Of its spreading. Absolutely no significance
Is attached TO the return 10 this country Of
thirty employees of the commission, and their
coming back on account Of the yellow fever
is attributed entirely to their ignorance Of
the true conditions.
The greatest trouble and the greatest
source Of danger is the lack Of proper quar-
tiers, but the material for building detention
hospitals Is now all on the Isthmus and the
work OF preparing suitable quarters for
infected patients is well under way.
No new cases have been reported by
Col. Gorgas, acting Governor, and that
II has been nine days since a new case ap-
peared Is taken as indicative the. the present
outbreak Is under control. A number Of
the patients who are in the hospital were
clerks in the main administration building
and considerable alarm was felt for this
reason.

DEsERTIONS FROM THE ARMY.
The Number Far Greater This Year Than
In Any Previous Year.

WASHINGTON. May 1?.-The number Of
assertions from the army in the last year
has been far greater than in any previous
year, according to figures which are being
received by the War Depart ment.
The increase is attributed 10 a regulation
adopted some months ago providing that
the number Of recruits secured by the re-
cruiting officers would be considered in
making up the efficiency records Of these
officers. Naturally, officers tried TO secure
a. many recruits as possible, and as a result
many men far below the standard Of moral
character were taken into the ranks. Then,
too, the necessity for recruiting officers to
do much travelling left the work at times
in charge Of non-commissioned officers.
At some posts the assertions have reached
as high as 30 per cent.
