Unfavorable Comment.

Considerable unfavorable comment has
been INDUCED in because of the signing of
the petitions circulated by the friends of
the defendants IN the pool room cases. One
Of the signers told a Star reporter that he
opposed an extra session of the court. for
the reason that he did not want to burden
the county with the heavy expense. when.
SO far as he could see, there could be moth
ing more accomplished by a session at this
time than there could by hearing the cases
In October, unless the defendants pleaded
guilty and submitted to sentence. The de-
PENDANTS, he realized, have the right of APP
peal. and he did not see how the cases could
get to the court of appeals until the fall
term. whether they tried now or in Oc-
tober. on the other hand. it is commended
that by trying the cases now there will be
a record made, and the case can be made

In the fall. This of course, depends upon

MALLERY SURPRISED
NO HEARING OF KENILWORTH
POOL ROOM CASE
Expected a Trial This Morning, But
Was appointed-Petition
to the Court.

Mr.. Allen W. Mallery. who has led the
fight against the pool room at Kenlworth,
was surprised this morning when he went
to Chesapeake junction and found that
Magistrate Behrend. Arthur Wall, pres
ident of the Maryland Telegraph Company,
and Percy T. Humphrey, owner of the pool
room building were not there ready to pro-
coed with the trial of another alleged gam
bling case Warrants were obtained for
Wall and Humphrey several days ago and
the magistrate said he had some trouble in
finding a constable to serve them. Why
the case was not tried today Mr.. Mallory
was not told. There was mistake about
the matter. however. for the defendants
were not notified TO appear and their coun-
sci were ignorant OF any desire on the part
of the prosecution to have the case heard
today.
Yesterday Mr. Mallery and Mr.. rarmody
went to Upper Marlboro and conferred with
Judge Merrick upon the question of recon-
Vening the April term OF the court to try
the gambling cases. They laid before the
judge the petitions signed by about three
hundre, residents of the county asking that
the court be reconvened and the cases given
immediate consideration. The question was
not a new one with the court, as the sug-
gestion that the petitions be presented
came from the judge. This suggestion was
the petitions were presented yesterday the
court not ready to announce what is
to be done. Judge Merrck promised to
consider the matter and give an early de-
ciSion.
II was stated several days ago that coun-
ter petitions would be presented behalf
of the defendants. The signers OF these
petitions merely expressed themselves as
being opposed to the reconvening of the
April term of the court on account of the
matter of expense, it is stated and not be-
cause they wanted to countenance the con-
tinuance of the pool room.
Counsel for the pool room people told a
Star reporter that they would not present
any petitions to the court and that they
did not anticipate a midsummer session
They further stated that they have a good
legal defense and are prepared to meet the
state in court. seeing nothing to be accom-
pllshed by presenting a petition.

Norwegian voters Of Minnesota over differ

is still more unlikely that the Republic ans
of Minnesota would be tho victims Of such
an outbreak, for it is only when the Swedes

possible to discover II any such story
was in type or in the possession OF that
paper.
Itseems that the To,on Topics company,
of which Judge DEUEL. is one OF the d.
rectors, has collected subscriptions, to
great amount in the aggregate. for an
other book somewhat similar In oharac-
ter, and the District Attorney wants the
company's books showing the names OF
the subscribers. Judge DEUEL. ought
to facilitate this purpose of the prose-
cutting officer of the county, and assuredly
he knows all about the matter, for he
was to participate in the profits from the
book. In the course Of his editorial
supervision, too, might he not have
known II any such story was in type
as the alleged extortion was based on?
Finally, how do the citizens OF New
York feel about having director and
supervisory editor of that notorious
paper as Judge Of the Court OF Special
Sessions OF the city and county Of New
York, and having him on that bench
for eight years longer?

TEE ARMIES IN MANCHURIA.
Japaoese Advance Up tho Amur 10 Cutting

To THE EDITOR OF The BuN-Sir' The.
report that the Japanese are about to invade
Siberia by way Of the Amur River was 10
be looked for. In the first place. should they
mount the river as far az BlaHoyestchcnsk
they will deprive the Russians Of their main
artery Of communication during the summer
months: and In the second, they will cut on
at once the wheat regions In the valleys Of
the Bureya and Zeya rivers. known IA the
Manitoba Of Siberia. just about the time
that the harvest Is ripenng. Then there
10 another very important consideration.
which ls that the rich gold deposits OF IN.
Zeya River district will fall into their hands.
In themselves no insignificant prize.
From the military point OF view the adj
vantages Of q movement up the Amur are
very great. BY the occupation Of khabarovsk.
at the junction OF the ussuri River with the
Amur, the second line Of communication
of vladivostok will be broken. the final sola-
ton OF that fortress depending on the time
when the Manchurian Eastern Railway shall
have been interrupted. BY the occupation
Of Biagovestchensk on the north bank Of
the Amur and Of Aigun on the opposite side
the Japanese would acquire a base OF opera

render the situation of Gen. l.nievtch pre-
carious in the extreme, and compel the diver
sion Of the reenforcements intended for hita
to defend the Amur below KhabarovSk
The island of Sakhalin can, of course no
longer be considered a Russian possession,
and the Japanese are hardly likely 10 leave

ship against its batteries or among its mines,
nor to throw away masses Of men against
its forts. as was done at Port Arthur. A simple
blockade will suffice to bring the garrison TO
terms when the hnfrland in every direction
by sea Is impossible. If. then, as the report, 5
seem to indicate. the japanese have definitely
resolved to begin operations on the Amur
they have until the end of the rainy season
in central Manchuria to carry out their plans.
Simultaneous movements from the north
and south. assuming peace not to have been
concluded by that time. would then place
Gen. Linievitch between two fires the only
escape from which would be to Khailar, with
his advanced posts on the Khinehan Noun

Advance Of the Octopus.

Into the sunny Southland the trust
octopus wriggles his way. There he
forms the Southern Cotton Growers Asso-
cistion. while the free. and independent
planters, instead Of rallyng to crush him,
applaud and rush to join his combination.
HARv1E JORDAN, planter and business
man, president Of the association, be-
lieves that perhaps the old way, tho
way Of blind competition and neroiless
rivalry, among cotton growers was not
the best. Hear what he says:
THE Industry has not been properly conducted
In the past"
But it has been conducted as the Hon.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN and the adj
herents OF his school Of economy believe
all business should be. What does Mr..
JORDAN propose? The very essence Of
trust mana cement:
Hereafter We propose 70 regulate acreage and
market the product through all the months OF the
year. instead Of three or four. as Is the case At
present."
He believes that we will be able to
regulate the supply and "also adopt
some safeguards as to marketing. He
wants these things done because they
will be beneficial to the growers. A
trust Of cotton growers, adapting their
business to the worlds needs, guarding
their commercial interests, establishing
community Of interest" entering a
"gentleman's agreement" Menstrous
spectacle!
Clearly, the whole people is infected
with the virus of business sagacity and
realizes the necessity of modern methods.
The hated trusts have done their work
well. They have converted conservatism
itself to the adoption OF their practises.
Pretty soon Col. BRYAN will be the only
independent in the field-and then, alas,
he will be monopolist him elf!
