ON RUINS OF AUT0CRACY
PLANS OF REVOLUTIONARY so-
 oIALISTS IN RUSSIA.
Would Build Up Republic Similar to That of This Country--Documcnt Adopted voicing Phrases Familiar to American Ear--CompuIsory Educa- tion and Elsht-Hour Law Favored.

Moscow, April 6.-The central com mittee of the social revolutionary party has drawn up a document containing the main points of its programme, and of this hundreds of thousands of copies are being printed for circulation in all parts of European Russia. The first and main point of the programme is the establishment of a democratic re- public on the ruins of the autocracy, and besides the usual points of social democratic doctrine it includes many arguments especially directed to Rus sian conditions and designed to appeal to the self interest of the Russian pro- letariat, both agricultural and indus trial. It voices phrases familiar to the American ear, such as initiative and referendum" public ownership of pub lie utilities" etc.
 The programme is divided under two heads, the first politico legal domain, under which it demands the institution of a democratic republic with broad autonomy for the provinces, municipali- ties and cornmunes; the widest appli- cation of the federatiye principle of the relations between the various nationail- ties; a direct secret universal ballot withou distinctio1l; proportional repre- sentation; direct popular legislation, with the initiative and referendum; electibility, responsibility and remova- bility of all officials; separation of church and state; complete freedom of conscience, speech, the press, assembly and association; right to strike; com pulsory popular and gratuitous educa- tion; and abolition Of the standing army and substitution of national militia.
 Under the second head, national economy and domain, the party favors the eight-hour day with reduction for the more dangerous and unsanitary oc- equations; minimum wage scale; state insurance for all, the forms regu- lated by the insured, at the expense of the state and employers; regulation of factory construction; prohibition of child labor below sixteen and Of fe- male labor at certain occupations; and professional organization of work men, with an increasing share in the international management of institu- tions. Inthe agrarian policy the party declares that the earth Is the common heritage of all citizens, and demands the soeialization of all land or such ap- preach to abolition of private owner ship as is practicable, including the se- questration of crown church and state, lands, turning them over to the com- munes; and the limitation and conser- vation of rents into an income tax payable to the commune. In the realm of finance the party favors progressive income and inheritance taxes, inappli- cable to small incomes; the abolition of indirect taxes, and the protective sys- tenn except as to objects of luxury. It also favors the common ownership of all utilities.

Interesting to Know Standard oiI Ca.

is Beginning to Talk.
 Cambridge, Mass, April 6.--Rev. Dan- Iiel Evans, chairman of the committee of Congregational clergymen who have entered a protest against the accept
 ance, by the American Board of Com
 missioners for Foreign Missions, of a
 gift of s100,000 from John D. Rockefeller,
 was shown tonight the statement giv-
 en out in New York by General Solic-
 itor Dodd, of the Standard Oil company.
 MT. Evans declared that it was inter- esting to know that the Standard Oil company was beginning to talk.
 Dr. Gladden., who had raised the ques-. tion of rebates, was well able, he said, | to answer the company on that matter t'We did not originate these charges" said Mr. Evans. '.We say that MT.
 Rockefeller and the Standard Oil com
 pany are charged with various indict-
 ments and are not yet cleared, and, not
 being cleared of them, we do not feel that we have the moral right to stand in relations of honor with them. r, "The printed story of the Standard Oil company gives specification after specification as to what the company
 has done, not only in the matter of re- bates, but in levying tributes upon oth- CT concerns, in cruising out competition, in establishing a system of espionage to find out the private business of other concerns, etc. These documents are either positive proof of the iniquitous methods of the. Standard Oil company or magnificent opportunities for a suit of libel against the publisher.
 Tt will take very much more than a
 general denial on the part of a lawyer to answer the accumulated evidence given to the public by Henry D. Lloyd in his Wealth vs. Commonwealth,' and by other writer's"

 New York, April District Attorney Jerome talked tonight to the Young Mems Guild of the Fremont Methodist Episcopal church on the subject of ex- else. He urged a law that would per- init of the Sunday opening of saloons between the hours of p. m. and Il p. m. He said that such law could be enforced.
 There are 1So0oo respectable men, said the district attorney. "who take a drink in saloon on Sundays. They do not want the law enforced and it is for this reason that the police cornmis- siuner does not enforce it: that the mayor does not make the commission CT enforce it; and that the governor does not remove the mayor for not en- forcing it."
 Nothing finer, morally or physically could be fund than the rank and file of the police force until they are ap-. pointed, said MT. Jerome. But their surroundings soon turn most of them into moral degenerates. Blackmail is one of the necessary evils of the sys- tenn

STATEMENT DEFENDING
 STANDARD OIL COMPANY
MADE BY CHIEF SOLICITOR OF
 THE OIL TRUST.

Given Out in Connection With the Dis
 cussion of the s10O,oOO Gift-Com-
 pany Does Not Own q share of Rail-
 road stock and Has Not Received
 Lower Rates Than Others.
 New York, April 6.-s. c. T. Dodd, chief solicitor of the Standard Oil com pany, gave out a statement to-day with reference ito the recent discussion as to the acceptance of a gift of $1oo,OoO offered by John D. Rockefeller for mis- sionary works. MT. Dodd declares that the statement that Mir. Rockefeller made inis money dishonestly if false, is vile and being made by ministers in the pretended interest of morality, is doubiy vile" MT. Dodd then says that the Standard Oil company does not own share of stock of any railroad company, does not control any railroad company, and that since the enact ment of the interestate commerce laws has now received lower rates than oth- CT shippers by rebates, arrangements, devices or plans of any character. The testimony of Howard Page, freight agent of the Standard oil company, be fore the industrial commission is nuo- ted in. this connection. With reference to gas and copper companies, MT. Dodd says:
 No doubt many have been preju- diced against MT. Rockefeller by sen sationaI writers, whose articles accom- panied by portraits and caricatures are intended to create the impression that MT. Rockefeller was the principal i'll the affairs relating to the organization of the gas and copper companies, al though no fact showing such connec- tion is stated. The Standard Oil conn pany has already denied that 1t had any connection or interest directly or indirectly in the organization of those corporations, and on the best authority the same denial is now made for John D. Rockefeller. He had no connection with nor interest in, directly or indi- rectly, the organization of those corpo- rations.'
 Continuing, MT. Dodd says: There may well be a difference of opinion on the abstract question whether the board of missions should recsive gifts unless satisfied that the giver is hon. rest; but all will agree that is he who brings his gift tito the altar must come with clean hands, still more should he who ministers at the altar and receives the gife be free from stain. There Is no excuse for those who make money dishenestly, and still less excuse for those who in the name of religion false ly. accuse their fellof-men.
 'FTlhe objection to Mr. Rockefeller's gift is based upon the allegation that he made his money dishonestly. This accusation, if false, is vile, and being made by ministers in the pretended irl- terest of morality, is doubly vile. The assertion should not be made unless it can readily be established by specifica- ton and proof. I have seen no proof and no attempt even at specification, except in the protest of Dr. Gladden.. He says: In this case the investiga. tion has been thoroughly made and the facts are known. The legislative in quiries, the records of the courts have
