CAR WARNED
Intimation That an Attempt
Would Be Made on the
Royal Family Had
Reached the
Palace.

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 20, 1905
Official statements that the cannon shot
which yesterday might have wiped out
the whole of the Romanoff family was
the result of carelessness in leaving a
shotted cartridge in gun after target
practice does not satisfy the public.
The belief is general that there was
a deliberate plot TO murder the Car and
members of the royal family.
The case is now under the investiga-
tion of the military and the police and
the authorities seem as little inclined as
the public to accept the accident theory.
The sensational fact has been brought
out that the Emperor was warned that
an attempt would be made on his life
yesterday, and the grape shot fired
into the Winter Palace is believed 70
have been d plot TO wipe out the en-
tire dynasy--the Car, the Crazewitch,
Grand Dukes and all in range Of sue
cession to the throne.

Bill. HELD UP
Governor Stokes Finds the
Amendment to the Pri-
mary Law Providing
for Special Elections
Void.


Special to THE Jersey city News.
TRENTON, Jan. 20, 1905.-Governor
Stokes will return to the Legislature next
week the amendment to the primary law
which was rushed through both houses
Of the Legislature on Tuesday, under
suspension Of the rules, and which pro-
yided that when writs of election are is
sued to fl vacancies in the Legislature,
the county committees of both parties
can make such regulations for nomina-
ting candidates as they may wish. De
fects have been found in it.
As told in the News, the House,
after the passage of The amendment.
adopted two resolutions, providing for
the issuance Of writs for special elections
in Union and Sussex counties, on Febru-
airy I, to fill the vacancies caused by the
deaths of Assemblymen Embree and
Decker, respectively.
In the haste with which the bill was
put through several Irregularities erept
into the engrossing and interlineations
we're made without proper certifcation
being made as to the alterations. Be
sides this, the certifcation Of the bill in
its entirety was found to be defective in
that it was simply attached he meas
ure without being made part of it, as
is required.
While these defects were responsible
for the Governors action in holding up
the bill in the first instance, they were
not the only weak features Of the act,
which, while waving the provisions of
tile primary election law as applicable
to the special election, failed to make the
same provision regarding the machinery
of the general election law, which re-
quires thirty days notice of the cleo
ton.

NO REBATES FOR LEAKAGE
Importers Will Have to Pay Duty on
Full Amount of Liquors
Shipped.

New York, Feb. 23.-Importers Of
wines and liquors must pay duty on
the full quantity shipped from abroad
without regard to leakage or breakage
lin transit under a decision handed
down today by the board of United
States general appraisers. The deci-
SION Is considered of great Importance,
as there are many hundred similar
cases which probably will be settled
in accordance with the principles
therein laid down.
Ths case involves the construction of
"a portion of the present tariff act
which provides that there shall be no
constructive or other allowance for
breakage, leakage or damage on wines,
liquors cordials or distilled spirits. the
board says that the phrase "a con-
structiVe allowance for leakage.
would seem to be simply an allowance
for a leakage which might be presumed
or implied, or which existed in con-
temptation of law rather than for an
actual leakage established by afiirnla-
tive proofs. Thers fore. should the en-
tire contents of a cask of liquor leak
out lin transit" before the arrival in
the United States the case would be
enc of non-importation and no duty
v Ould be assessa BILE.

ed in bottles. packed as required by
law. and A brealage Of a portion of

duction or allowance could be made.

GREAT GRAFT IN NEW YORK
District Attorney Jerome Makes Star
ting Statements in a
Speech.

New York, Feb. 23.-District Attorney
Jerome. speaking before the Peoples
Institute club tonight, said:
There are some honest men in the
police force. But if the people knew
the truth about the bulk of the higher
police officials they would take the law
IN their own hands like the people of
Montana and California, with their Wig
lance committees and annihilate them
When you remember that the collection
of 50 tribute for each saloon in a pre-
cinct would in some of the larger pre-
cincts amount to s12,0 900 year, you will
have some idea of the possibilities.
More than this. even today there is
not Il street on which cars run that
pickpockets are not operating under a
distinct contract with central office de-
detectives. There is man now await
ing sentence in the Tombs, and even if
he is a thief I believe him. for I have
corroborated much that he told me. and
he says that the police demanded 50
per cent as their part of the proceeds. -
Mr.. Jerome declared that the ccrrup-
ton of the police force was largely due
to the existence of a liquor law that
was able-in the sense that
the community was against it's strict
enforcement, not that the officials were
pOwerleSS to enforce il if they wanted
to do so. It's enforcement. he declared
meant political suicide for the party
that attempted il.
Even Roosevelt" said Mr. Jerome
with all the direction and force ne eX-
ercised when he was police commits
sioner. was able to bring to justice only
one-fiftieth of ] per cent of the vic
lators of the law, The only practical
result of the crusade was to put up the
charge of blaclCmail from So q week to
so and $50 in some instances. And
what was the moral effect of trying to
enforce the law? The turning out of a
good administration and nothing
more"

GIRLS MAKE ESCAPE.
Two Runaways From State School
Sought by Officers.

Two girls, inmates of the state Indus
trial school. got away from the institu-
ton about dusk last night. giving the
guards the slip and stealing out OF the
back door of the girls cottage. One is
Amelia Robinson. who was sent to the
school about two years ago from Salt
Lake. and the other is Emma Mcknight
of Heber City. Wasatch county. Each of
the girls is about is years of age. As
soon as they were missed the guards at
the school started out in search for them,
the police department and the sheriff were
notified and "A close watch was kept for
the two runaways. II is not believed that
they can keep in hiding long, as they
have no money and are without clothes
that will permit them to travel very far
without their being detected.
