THE GOVERNOR SLIDES
DOWN H00LIGAN SLIDE

down "Hooligan's slide' at Wildwood
last evening were Governor John A.
Johnson, Mrs. johnson and Frank Day,
the governors private secretary. The
slide is spiral chute or trough which
wiads around q high tower and the de-
scent is so swift and the sudden turns
on the journey so unexpected that even
the governor Of Minnesota found 1t i'm
possible to keep his dignity on the
downward trip, and shot out the end
of the slide amid the laughter of the
bystanders, who little thought that the
object of their merriment was the chief
executive of the state.
The party, consisting of Governor and
Mrs. johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. Day and
Mrs. Hynes, a friend Of the Johnsons,
had intended to spend quiet, evening
ness of Flag day, but Hooligan slide
caught the eye Of the governor, and be-
fore the evening was over every amuse-
ment device in Wildwood had been WIS.,
There was trouble in getting Mr..
boggan and he announced that if he had
his wish he would have roller coaster
con the farm but Captain Ramaley
of the White Bear steamboat line had
invited the gubernatorial party. to a
trip on the lake and the private secre-
tary finally consented to leave.
The governor is an enthusiastic bowl
er and upon the return Of the boat he
challenged Mr.. Day to bowling con-
test. Not to be outdone Mrs. johnson
made, like proposition to Mrs: Day
and in the three games that followed
the governor and his wife took the
honors.
AS the party left the Wildwood bowl

setting pins approached the manager
of the alleys and in a pleading voice
said: essay, boss, gimme the score shee

The governor was asked to give his
opinion today as to the present crisis.
He said:

themselves so nearly alike, that a com
plete union of the two peoples into one
nation, giving all the people equal
rights, would be to the best interests
of all concerned. However, / believe
that any people in any country are

Politicians have been discussing the

BATTLE MENACES
PEACE PROSPECTS
Impending Conflict Caused Impa-
thence Over Delay in Arrang-
ing Meeting.
Strong Pressure Brought to Bear
on Japan to Reduce In
demnity.

Washington, June Is. - Washington
will be the scene Of the peace negotia-
lions between Russia and Japan.
Japan refused to go to Europe, and
Russia was unwilling to meet Japan
in the far east.
The powerful influence of France was
exerted to assist Russia in sending the
negotiations to some European capital,
probably The Hague, and if not The
Hague, then Geneva.
For several days it was known that
the places under consideration were
Washington, The Hague and Geneva.
Japan preferred Washington and Rus
STA hoped that the influence of the
would result in the selection of that
place.
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister,
brought to the president this morning
Japan IS refusal to go to Europe. Upon
learning Of Japan IS unwillingness, Rus
STA acquiesced and joined Japan in the
request that Washington be selected.
The announcement Of the choice of
Washington came in the form Of an
official statement, issued by Secretary
Loeb, by direction of the president.

IL Is suggested at the WnlCe House

ganizing, the plenipotentiaries Of the
two governments, if it should be found
to be uncomfortably hot in Washing

summer resort in the north, where they
may continue their sittings until such
time as the weather in Washington
shall be more comfortable.
In view of the questions of monu-
mental Importance which are to be dis

the prospect that in the impending bat

Stamford, Conn.,, June 15.-While
hundreds looked on here last night
big sleek rat gave a slack wire perform
ance that would make the most finished
acrobat look cheap. It climbed tall

it walked out on the sagging wire. It
began to roll over and over and to leap
from wire to wire. The nit hung by
its tail. firing, it rested while on it's
hind feet. Then it went thru more
gymnastics. The crowd gathered to
watch it became so great that the
street was blocked. The police efforts
to clear the crowd frightened the rat.
It disappeared over the wires in the
direction of Norwalk.

OYAMA MAY SPOIL PEACE
Field Marshal Believed to Be on Verge
Of Opening Battle.

St. Petersburg, June 15.-It is un-
derstood that the first task of the plenl-
potentiaries to be named by. Russia
and Japan will be the conclusion of a
limited arnistice. This must come soon
which reports from the front indicate
that Field Marshal Oyama is already
launching.
The liberal newspapers are taking
the decision of the government to
make peace, if terms possible of ac-
ceptance are offered, as a surrender,
and follow up their advantage by re-
doubling their demands for represent
tative assembly, arging that the bu-
reaucracy, which has proved its incom-
petence to make war successfully, is
equally incapable Of concluding cred
liable peace.
Want Voice in Treaty Making.
The Russ, now the leader Of the con-
stitutionalist papers, declares that the
government, without the people s sup
port, is impotent to continue the war
and will be. compelled to accept any
terms. Only national assembly, it
insists can now save the situation, be-
cause only with the sanction of the
people can exorbitant conditions be
successfully resisted. The Russ adds:
"The mere mention of peace has
aroused the people who profoundly dis
trust the government ability to cope
with the problem by mail and tele-
Hooded d with petitions for S the assem- >.

Morton as Figurehead.
Blow to Hartman.

Equitable Life stock has suffered a
remarkable decrease in value since the
fight for naturalization began. Not
withstanding the efforts that have been
made to keep secret the price that
James Hazen Hyde received for his
controlling interest in the society, it is
known that he got less than $1,750,000
for the SOL shares he placed in the
hands Of the association of policy
holders.'
Edward H. Hartman, it is said,
would have at any time paid $4,OO0,,O00
for his stock, and soon after the fight
began he offered $5,0OO,0O0. Had it not
been for the blunder made in the Prick
report, which Hyde and his advisers
declared was an attempt to drive Hyde
into selling his stock. to Hartman: the
latter today would, in all probability,
be in control Of the Equitable.
AS it is, it was declared today that
Hartman is in a decidedly unpleasant
predicament. He has for the past few
years been depending upon Hyde 9 in
fuence in the Equitable for funds to
finance his ventures, and seeing no pos
sibility to that influence f. ling, he has
antagonized other sources from which
he could have obtained the great sums
he from time to time required.

President Roosevelt, it is intimated,

for a cash indemnity not only would

powers with particular favor.
The payment by Russia of any such
cash indemnity as billion dollars not
only would embarrass seriously the st.
Petersburg government, but probably
would disturb the finances of the entire
western world. Indeed, it has been
suggested that such payment, to all

TO
PAY THE FIDDLER
Warfare Within the Equitable to
Be Charged to society-Mor-
ton as Figurehead.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, June l5.-It was stated
today that all Of the expenses of the
internecine strife in the Equitable Life
will be charged up to the society, or,
in other words, to the policyholders.
These expenses, together with enormous
legal fees, charged by the lawyers who
took part in the controversy, will, it is
said, aggregate about 81 100000. Why
this should be taken from the policy
holders could not be learned.
Morton as Figurehead.
The heads of departments in the
Equitable seem to regard Mr.. Ryan
and not Mr.. Morton as the real boss.
Several Of them were directed today to
make reports in person to Mr.. Ryan as
to that part of the business Of the
society under their care.
When the trustees of the Ryan stock
meet the question Of compensation to
them will come up. Estimates as to
what they will receive varied in the
financial district today all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. !.
! Should the salary settled upon prove
to be large, Justice Morgan j. O 'Brien
it was intimated today, may decide to
give up his position on the bench Of
the appellate division Of the supreme
court and devote all of his time to the
affairs Of the Equitable.
