Tom Lawson is accomplishing
more good than one would think
by educating the public to keep
away from Wall street and the
control of the Standard oil gam
blers. The only way to beat their
game is not to play it. There will
not be so many watered stocks"
if the promoters have to carry
the water themselves. Manufac-
turers Wind, Amalgamated Stops
and various over-capitalized con-
Germs will not be such great de-
mand if none but the promoters
help to carry them.

MAY Be FATAL To
NAN PATTERSON
CERTAIN LETTERS IMPORTANT
AS EVIDENCE
BATTLE TO SECURE THEM
1t Is Alleged That Mrs. j. Morgan
Smith Said: Man Will Hama II
the Police Get These
Papers"
BY Associated Presa

BY Associated PresA
CINCINNATI, April IA fight for
the possession of certain letters which
were entrusted to Detective Akin by
Mrs. j. Morgan Smith when her hus.
band was arrested, is promised as the
next development in the Nan Patter-
son case, so far as the Cincinnati con-
nection with the case is concerned.
Attorney Shay today demanded the re-
turn of the letters from the detective.
and when the officer refused, the at
torney announced that he would take
the matter into the courts on Monday
and compel the delivery of the let
ters threatening to cause the detectives
arrest. Akin refused to take any action
until Monday. Akin said that when
he was appealed to by Mrs. Smith re-
garding the letters that he supposed
they were of minor Importance and en-
tirely unconnected with the case, and
therefore he had promised to care for
them. After they had been turned over
to him he said that Mrs. Smith de-
clared:
IF these papers ever get into the
hands of the police they will hang
Nan"
This remark caused him to change
his intention and he has turned them
over to the local police for safe keep
ing until the papers can be delivered
to District Attorney Jerome. The con-
tents of most of the letters have not
been made public, but at least four
are said to be very important. Among
them is a letter from III. L." who tele-
graphed Smith the day of his arrest,
saying:
Keep your mouth shut. New York
will attend to your case"
This III L. letter is addressed to
"Tessie," which Akin says is one of
the names assumed by Mrs. Smith in
her wanderings since last August,
while "Alex," according to Akin, is j.
Morgan Smith.
The letter is written upon an elab-
orately embossed sheet of tinted paper
of rich quality. The text is:
Dear Tessie: We are sending you
today some more money This is the
last we have and God knows where
any more is coming from. Hereafter,
Alexander and you must do the best
you can without our help, but what
ever you do keep him away from New
York. We are almost driven to des-
peration and the suspense is awful.
God knows what will happen. Do not
let him come back to New York.

WANTS To PLAY
WAITING GAME
WAR PARTY HOPES TO BLEED
JAPAN TO DEATH
THINKS REVOLT is SUBSlDING
National Protest at the Indefinite
Postponement of Peace May
It Is Thought, Sweep Away
the Throne

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, April 2.--Neither the czar
nor the miliado desire peace at the
present juncture and until they do no
peace is possible.
Russia has abandoned all hope of sue
cess i'm the far eastern campaign. She
knows Vladivostok is doomed; she eX-
poets little or nothing from Admiral
Rojestvcnsky's fleet. Her present de-
termination, nevertheless, is to continue
the war in the belief that her adver-
sary can be bled to death. The men
who really govern Russia are per-
suaded that success will be won in the
end by defensive, waiting policy, with
war expenses reduced to minimum.
This view is strengthened by news
from private sources that large rush
orders for war material have been
placed in England and Germany during
the past four days by Russian repre-
sentatives.
The foregoing decision depends, how
ever, upon the ability of the authorities
to control the internal crisis of Russia.
The comparative quiet of the past two
or three weeks has encouraged the bu-
reaucracy to believe that the danger of
insurrection is subsiding and that the
country will submit to war burdens for
an indefinite period.
This assumption of the war party, in
the view of the most competent OBJ
servers is a fatal mistake. 1t is chiefly
Cue to the universal talk of peace that
the present lull in domestic turmoil
has come. AS soon as it is known
that the war is to be indefinitely pro-
longed a national protest win be forth
coming which;, If resisted, will sweep
away the dynasty and all other obsta-
cles.
There are those, including the min
istry, who are still seeking to make
the czar realize this danger, and they
may succeed. Meantime no peace ne
gotiations of any description have been
begun.

of Arrest
speclal 10 NC Herald.


MANCHESTER, N. H., April l.
Winston Churchill, author of "The
Crisis" and representative in the New
Hampshire legislature, is on the verge
of being arrested by Nathaniel Doane
high sheriff of Hillsborough county
The high sheriff has tried to be nice
about serving subpoena on the cele-
brity, sending the paper to him several
times by registered mail, but invariably
the package has been returned un-
opened. An investigation showed that
Mr.. Churchill was an involuntary
"side-stepper," and all because he is
suffering from being famous.
Pursued by autograph hunters, who
have adopted the registered package
dodge by which to procure his sigma
ture, he directed his secretary to re-
turn all registered mail. Now the high
sheriff is on the trail and says that il
Churchill doesn't assist in the matter
he will be held up like an ordinary
person. The suit concerns a defunct
newspaper in which Churchill was in
terested.

DEAD" CRIMINAL
CRAWLS FROM GRAVE
Lucky Joe" Wilson, Now Really
Dead, Once Escaped From Jail
in Novel Manner
Special to The Herald.

Special TO Inc Herald.
RALEIGH, N. c., April 1.-Governor
Glenn recently issued a pardon to
Lucky Joe" Wilson, who was i'm
prisoned for petty larceny, and it was
feared he could not live much longer.
He died before the pardon arrived
Lucky joe once told how he es-
capped from a Jail while serving a SEN
tence for> stealing. The Wilson family
had been left considerable amount
of property in Tennessee, and it was of
Importance that Lucky joe should
go there. Relatives visited them in Jail
and a plan was concocted that Lucky
Joe" should apparently get i'll, remain
so two or three weeks, gradually grow
ing worse, and finally dying. The sup
posed dead man was to be carried home
and was to be put into the coffin.
While the relatives were digging the
grave they found on one side a hole
large enough for a man to sit up in,
and this suggested a change in the
plan. A small excavation was made
from this underground hole to the top
Of the ground, covered so as to give air,
but concealed. The coffin was made
with a door on the side next to the
hole.
AS soon as the clods began to fall
Lucky Joe" pushed open the door and
crawled into the hole. That night he
went to Tennessee.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONDON, April 1.-The Telegraph's s
st. Petersburg correspondent says:
Members of the imperial encourage
ascribe the present confusion in all
government departments to the cars
ten weeks seclusion in his private
apartments at Tsarkoe-Selo. Ministers
and other official visitors to the palace
observe that it is becoming increas-
ingly difficult for the emperor to give
sustained attention to any subject.
This has been more marked since the
death of Grand Duke Sergius.
Apart from his confinement and
anxieties some members of the court
trace this mental habit as being in
some measure due to the injury to his
head fifteen years ago from the blow
of a fanatic during his visit to Japan.
His disinclina tion to hold to def
mite policy in national affairs has led
to the .estrangement of Grand Duke
Vladimir, who has ceased to visit
Tsarkoe-Sel
Assumption of supreme authority
has been lately made in various direc-
tions with impunity. Several conserva-
tive governors of provinces deleted
whole passages of the emperor's re-
script when circulating them in their
districts. When questioned as to what
authority they had for such suppress
sion they replied that it was language
which the emperor should not have
used

HUGE INFANT MORTALITY
FROM POISONOUS FOODS
Figures Produced Showing Sixty-five
Per Cent of Deaths as
Due Thereto
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 1.-At a meeting of
the executive committee of the national
commission of the state dairy and food
departments, to be held here today, re-
ports will be submitted showing that
1850 infants died in the United States
last year from the effects of food
poisons. Food commissioners from diff
ferent states, health officers and officers
of the national association have arrived
to attend the meeting.
The claim of the enormous fatality
among infants last year resulting from
impure food is made by j. N. Hurty
secretary of the Indiana state board
of health. Mr.. Hurry produces figures
to show that Go per cent of the total
deaths of infants in America last year
was due to poisons administered in
impure foods and the deadly concoc-
tions placed on the market by fraudu-
lent food manufacturers.
Renewed efforts toward prohibiting
the sale of food products containing
poisonous adulterants are to be made
by the association.
