APPEAL EOR PEACE.
Countess Sophie ToIstoi Writes to Lon-
 don Times.

don Times.
 London, April 27.-"But if czars and generals feel the disgrace of peace, then let us mothers of all the masses revolt against those slaughters which have so rent our hearts, ...
 Thus concludes a powerful appeal for peace written by Countess Sophie Tol- stoi to friend and published in this mornings Times. The letter eloquently describes the terrible suffering Russia is enduring through the war, and main- tains that practically the whole people condemns the war It says: Peace cannot be a disgrace, as many wrongly imagine. A lost war is not disgrace, but misfortune. A spiritually unde- yeloped, un-C Christian nation such as the Japanese was bound to conquer, for among them is rife the principle of pa- triotism which is opposed to the Chris tan people of love of ones neighbor, and, therefore, of opposition of war. They have not yet grown up to this standard, but the Russians are on the way to it. Better let go all those lands acquired by such insanely cruel meth 5ods in order that the remaining land should prosper and the people bless their rulers"

LYNCHING IN ALABAMA.
Mob Cuts Wires and Breaks Into Jail
 at Homer.

Shreveport, La, April 26.-After work ing three hours with sledge hammers and picks, twenty-five men broke into the parish jail at Homer, Ala, to-day and shot Dick Craighead, infifcting wounds which probably will prove fatal. Craighead was charged with the mur- der of Mrs, Isaac Mckee, wife of Craig heads half brother, and her little son.
 The authorities were unaware of the design on the prisoner until it was too late to protect him. Every telephone and telegraph wire out of Homer was cut, and the rifles of the Claiborne guards were seized before the attack was made on the jail. So quietly did the men work that scarcely any one in the village was aware of what was taking place at the jail. Having dug a hole through the brick wall, the lynch CTS crawled through the opening, but, on reaching the steel cell in which the prisoner was confined, found it impos- sible to break the lock- They then be- gan shooting at the covering prisoner through the bars of the cell, more than twenty shots being fired. nearly every one taking effect. The mans legs, arms and portions of his body were torn to shreds with bullets. Believing that Craighead was dead, the lynchers left the prison and disappeared.
 When Sheriff Kirkpatrick reached the jail he found Craighead still alive. It is said that he told the sheriff the names of three of the lynchers. r..

 Parts of the City-Non-Union Drivers
 AssauIted-Police Kept Busy.

 The demand of the Chicago Employ CTS association that all teansters de- liver goods to Montgomery Ward & Co. under penalty of instant discharge to- night resulted in the spread of the strike to four other business establish ments Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co, Mar shall Field &S Co, J. V. Farwell & Co.,, and the Forbes Carriage company
 The first teamsters to be drawn into what promises to be 8 general strike, were AS drivers employed by J. V. Far well eco These men quit work when one of their number was discharged for refusing to haul a load of merchandise
 to the store of Ward & Co, The same procedure was followed at the estab- lishments of Marshall Field & Co.,, and Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co, where sev- eral drivers were discharged by each firm for similar cause These firms deal in wholesale dry goods. The men of Che Forpes Carriage company went out tonight when one of their men was discharged for refusing to take a load of goods consigned to Ward & Co. In all about 300 men are involved, the Forbes CO. having lost 250. The spread of the strike threatens to continue to- morrow.
 An understanding, it is said, has been reached among all the union teamsters in the various barns throughout the city that whenever member of their union is discharged for not making de- liveries to Ward & Co.,, all the men in the barn will quit work. The members of the Department Store Drivers union have also agreed to strike if any of their members are discharged. Other unions, including the express drivers, truck drivers and coal teamsters, it was asserted tonight, contemplate similar action. The packing firms at the stock yards are also among the interests that promise to become involved in the diff ficulty. George Golden, business agent of the Packing House Teamsters' un- don, declared tonight that strikes would be declared against any of the packers that endeavored to make de- liveries to Ward & Co.
 While to-day's events were paving the way for the general strike of the union teansters, rioting broke out afresh in several parts of the city. Non-union drivers of the Employers Teaming Co. were assaulted and stoned, and their horses were cut out of the traces. Dur- ing the entire afternoon the police were kept busy quieting disturbances, and it has been decided by the police to de- tail an increased number of men on the strike tomorrow in efforts to suppress disturbances,

GOVERNOR HIGGINS, OPINION,
The Attempt to Evade the Transfer Tax

1<fiEys
 Albany, N. Y, April 26.-The atten- tion of Governor Higgins was called to- day to published accounts of the project to establish stock exchange in Jersey City and to differences that 1t is a direct outcome of the enactment of the law taxing the transfer of shares of stock. The governor said:
 Some people go to Rhode Island, some to the Berkshire Hills and some to New Jersey to evade taxation in this state. Some come into this state from other states for the same purpose. There are those who have mortgages made out to their cousins, their uncles and their aunts residing in other states and then have assignments made back to themselves. which are lot recorded. Others, yet more bold, walk brazenly up to the assessors office and commit perjury to evade taxation.
 There seems to be 9 percentage of people in every state who are able in some way to satisfy tfeil. consciences sufficiently to justify them, to them selves in beating the state or the gov ernment. Such appear to have no con- ception of the benefits which they de- rive from civilized government. z
 Are we to infer that you regard this New Jersey move as of that sort?' the governor was asked.
 T am not answering that question, replied the governor, with smile.

The bear was of the brown variety, with hair long and uni- form. The animal was shot directly through the heart. After it had been overtaken by the dogs, it climbed twen- ty-five feet up a tree, and when the president shot the bear it climbed twenty feet higher, and then dropped to the ground.
 The president may attend church ser. vices ct tie "old Blue Schoolhouse'' next Sunday. The schoolhouse is only three miles from camp.
