H0MESEEKERS DRAWN BY
WARMTH OF SUNNY SOUTH
Tide of Emigration Has Turned From
North to Southern and South.
western Points

by ASSOc1ateQ greSS.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-There is to be a
rush of people into the south and
southwest if the inquiries now being
received by the western railroads re-
garding "Homeseekers' excursions sig
nifty much. One mail in single rail-
road office has contained over a hun
dred letters, all asking about soil, eli
mate and other things that go to make
up life, in rural districts.
The movement is not confined to the
southwest but southern states like
Alabama and Mississippi are receiving
a great deal of attention. On one line
alone 4S7 passengers, with homeseek-
ers' tickets, have left Chicago in the
last six weeks for a single county in
Alabama. Reports to the officials indi-
cate that many of these people will re-
main in the south permanently, as they
have made locations.
Vast tracts of land in southwestern
Kansas, which have been devoted here
tofore to stock, are now being divided
up for farms. Oklahoma is getting it's
full share of homeseekers, while Texas
is receiving more newcomers than for
a number of years.
For the present the migration to the
British northwest seems to have come
to a stop and the tide has turned to
the southwest.

PROTEST OF PHYSICIANS
Moscow Doctors lndorse Workingmen
and Call for Peace

MOSCOW, Feb. 10.-A remarkable
series of resolutions was passed at a
conference here today of physicians
residing in the government of Moscow
These resolutions, which will be pre-
sented to the Moscow zemstvo, indorse
the demands which the st. Petersburg
workmen formulated January %, eX-
press Indignation at the methods of
the bureaucracy, ''whose aim is the
suppression by violence of all attempts
of the nation to secure political lib
erty," and voice the determination of
the physicians to aid the liberal move
ment although it is impossible for
them to strike, because they cannot
leave the Muscovites without medical
aid.
The resolutions also express the opin-
ion that the war should be stopped as
quickly as possible, and say that to
this end the zemstvo ought to refuse to
contribute further money to the medi-
cal service in the far east thus
actively opposing continuance of the
war, which is both foreign and perilous
to the interests of the Russian nation"

STEELE DIES PENNllESS

Charles Steele, one of the best
known gamblers on the Pacific coast
who made and lost several fortunes
in his career of over twenty-five years
died penniless at the county hospital
last night.
For twenty years Steele had made
Los Angeles his headquarters and he
was known among the sporting frater-
nifty here as one of the most unique
characters who ever dealt the cards
over the green cloth or put his money
on a horse race.
For some time Steele had been in
Arizona, but a week ago he came to
Los Angeles, and afflicted with erysip-
elias and ina dying condition, he ap-
piled for entrance at the county hos
pital.
Steele was 40 years old at the time
of his death and by far the larger part
of his life had been spent in trusting to
the luck of cards, dice and horses.
He had dealt cards over the faro
tables in every city of any size from
Seattle to the City of Mexico and was

1t is said that Steele once set aside
enough of his winnings to buy ranch
at Santa Barbara, where he had inT
tended to settle down and quit the life
he was leading. but the gambling in
stinct was too strong, and one night.
shortly after his purchase he sat down
at a game of poker to lose his newly
bought real estate and large sum of
money as we'll. Then he rose from the
table and said he was glad of 1t, as
he was not cut out for a rancher
anyway.
Steele was unmarried and so Tar as

BY Associated Prssa

BY Associated Frasa
AUBURN, Feb. 10.-A climax in the
trial of Adolph Weber came this morn
ing when court opened.
Henry Cary, a keeper of a second
hand store in San Francisco, identified
the defendant positively as a young
man who bought revolver from him
late in July or early in August last
The prisoner turned pale and sat as II
stunned, but showed no other mark OF
feeling until the witness spoke of the
purchase of a blackjack and brass
knuckles by his companion, another
young man. His fingers worked nerv-
ously as they lay in his lap. His de-
meanor has been mucS subdued for the
past two days, as damaging evidence
accumulates and his throat seems to
fill when a telling point is made against
him.
Attorney General Webb and Attorney
Johnson had little tilt just before
noon, the former taking offense at an
insinuating question by the latter
seeming to reflect on him, and said he
considered it his right to resent it at
any time or place.
Johnson said, sneeringly: "Oh, you
can't scare anybody" and the court in
tervened.
The testimony of Witness Carr
seemed very clear and positive. and,
although the defense tried in every way
to tangle him up, they failed to sue
ceed.

IRON WORKERS STRIKE
Demands Are Not Granted and Thir-
teen Thousand Walk Out
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 1O.-The APP
prehension of further trouble with the
strikers was justified today when all
the workmen of the Putiloff iron works
and those of the Franco-Russian works
struck because the directors were un-
able to promise them work day OF
eight hours The men at the Putiloff
works, who yesterday announced their
intention of trying to enforce an eight
hour day, reported at o'clock, worked
an hour and then demanded to see the
director of the works, who conferred
with the mems delegates. The latter
demanded eight hours, no discrimina-
tion against the promoters of the re-
cent strike and pay for the week S
strike The director declared he was
unable to accede to the demands, and
thereupon $4,000 men of the Putiloff
works went out.
Strike Rapidly Extends
Within a few hours the strike had
extended to half dozen establishments
within a radius of a couple of miles
of the Putiloff works, until it was fin
ally estimated that 10000 had gone
out The strikers we're quiet and the
police continued to allow them to gath
er in groups in the streets. They also
held meetings in the fields The whole
district was constantly patrolled by
horse guards and Cossacks. Reserves
were held ready near the Narva and
Moscow gates to prevent the strikers
from entering the city in a body. A
few thousand strikers, however evaded
the troops and marched through the
der to induce the men in the factories
there to come out but troops barred
the way and dispersed the crowds.
The strikers are greatly incensed
against Manager Smirnoff of the Putil-
off works, whom they accuse of cutting
down wages.
English Owners Yield
Three English mills decided, in view
cf the gravity of the situation, to
grant all their employees demands, in
wages and strike pay. This decision
was condemned by the majority of
the employers, but the Englishmen
pointed out that it was not advisable
to wait until the machinery of the law
for reforming the conditions of labor
had been set in motion.
Minister of Finance Kokovsoff has
summoned a conference of factory in
spectors for February 2S to discuss
state insurance, hours of labor, medical
aid and labor unions. A proposal &c
the minister that the manufactures
hold a similar conference was rejected.
