CAR IN DANGER.
Darkness PerYadeS The
Russian Capital.
SITUATION GROWING TENSE,
The Authorities are Taking Drastic
Measures to Preserve Order
and to Prevent Rioting.
SITUATION GROWING TENSE

St. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-2:30 o. m.-
With the Russian capital seemingly on the
verge of an lncipient revolution, thousands
Of workmen paradlng the streets, agitators
and fanatics sowing the seeds of disorder,
half the city in darkness and without fire
protection owing to walk-outs, the situa-
ton was hourly growing more tense when
the authorities decided tonight to adopt
energetic measures to preserve ordor, riot
ing and over-swe the violent minded, at
the same time seeking to placate the strik-
ing workmen by Offering satisfaction Of the
demands in SO far as they are just and re
Oonable, thus acting with combined firm
ness and moderation.
The government tonight augmented the
garrison of the city with 0,50O cavalry and
200 infantry from Tsarsko Zelo fortress.
The refusal to permit Q delegation OF
-wOrkmen to present q petition to the
Emperor at the Tsarsko Zelo has made it
known that the great demonstration plann-
ed for Sunday with its unlimited poaslbili-
ties for an outbreak. will not be permitted
to take place. At the same time acting in
conjunction with conference OF employ
ers, it has been determined to offer con.
cessions in the terms Of employment,
which the employers declare that the
great majority Of the workmen would be
inclined to accept If they were guaranteed
protection on returning to work.

NORTH STA INCIDENT,
The Verdict Hangs on
Torpedo Boat.
THE FIRST PUBLIC SESSION.
Russians Still Affirm the Presence
of Jap Boats, and Claim That
an Attempted Attack
Was Made.

Was Made.
Paris, January 19-The internattenA'
commission appointed to inquire into the
North sea incident began its public sessions
this afternoon. The meeting Of the coni-
mission was held in the state dining hall of
the D'Orsay palace foreign oface1, which
was crowded with high officials, diplomats
and representatives of the navies OF the
principal maritime powers, including sever
al staff officers of the Japanese navy.
Several members Of the stan OF the
Japanese legation were among the diplo-
mats present.
Admiral FournieT. of France, presided
with Rear Admiral Beaumont. of Great
Britain, and Admiral Von-Spann. Of Aus
tria-Hungary, at his right, and Vice Ad-
miral D ,!ubassoff, of Russia. and Rear
admiral Davis, of the United States, on
his left.
A large force of British counsel and ad-
visors were at the right of the court. Baron
Taube, the Russian Judicial adviser. and
other Russians, were in the left part OF the
hall.
British Charges Read.
Hugh O'Berne. of the British embassy,
agent of Great Britain before the interna-
tlonal commission. read the charges. which
consist of seventeen specifications, m1nutely
setting forth the attack on the Hull fishing
fleet. 1t was specifically declared that no
Japanese torpedo boats aid no warships
whatever were among the fishing fleet, and
that no Japanese war ships were snywhere
In the North sea.
Baron Tauke read the Russian reply.
which specifically declared that two strange
boate approached the Russian squadron,
which the searchlights disclosed to be tor
pedo boats. Thereon fire was opened, the
torpedo boats moving off and later disap-'
nearing. The Russian statement further
asserted that Admiral Rojestvensky was
absolutely obliged to act as he did in order
to destroy the torpedo boats which had at
aeked bis squadron.
The principal charges of the British
statement follow:
ION the night in question there were not
any warships whatever in the neighbor-
hood of the fishing feet except those OF the
Russian navy.
"No warships had been seen by the fish
ing boats since a long time previous.
"None of the boats making up the fish
ing feet carried any kind of material OF
war.
mo japanese Warship OF any kind
whatever was at that moment in the North
sea-
There were not any Japanese upon the
fishing boats.
1.-THE Russian fire continued after their
searchlights clearly showed the vessels were
peaceful fishing boats.
'.None of the Russian ships gave OF even
offered assistance.
sFFhe fire killed two men, wounded six.
sank one boat and dan aged five Others"
The statement concludes that the attack
was without any provication upon pacific
fishing boats pursuing their usual and
rightful avocAtlon.

During the past eight months num-
ber of icing and refrigerator plants
have been erected at all the towns
serving as depots and more are under
process of construction.
The one at Coachella, which is in the
heart of the melon district has been
built at cost of $4,000, and is to be
used entirely for packing and preparing
the fruit for shipment, all of which
goes over the lines of the Southern
Pacific.
The California product is ready for
market from three to five weeks earlier
than the famous Rocky Ford melons
and with an uneXcelled delicacy of
taste, together with the advantage Of
early ripening, threatens to lake the
place of the Colorado article.
Last season growers of the district
realized as a net gain from the grow
ing of cantaloupes, $64OOO, with $1,000
from watermelons. The profits of the
present season will be far in excess of
that amount.

GREAT MELON CROP IS
ALMOST READY FOR MARKET
In Four Years the Industry Has Grown
to Be One of Paramount lm-
portance Here

Beginning the first week in June, the
melon crop in and around Coachella
will be ready for shipment, and the
estimated yield of $50 carloads Of the
fruit will be started on its way to all
the large markets of the United
States.
From an industry which four years
ago amounted to but little, melon
growing in the southern part of the
state has grown to be one OF para
mount importance. 1t is estimated
that this seasons yield will be double
that OF last year. but with the improved
facilities for handling the fruit little
difficulty win be experienced in placing
1t on the market in tirst class shape.

in that state. Thence, it passed into
Massachusetts, in 1885, when it's entire
membership consisted of $500 men.
Now that the organization has 100000
members, it can readily be understood
what a tremendous growth has been
accomplished in the short space of
twelve years.
From Massachusetts, it went into
New York and, once it reached the
Empire state. it's growth became phe-
nomenal. Councils We're organized
with great rapidity throughout the
state of New York and the entire men,
bership of that state today approx
mates nearly 10000 men.
California Organization
The order came into California three
years ago last January, and the first
council was established in San Fran
cisco on January 10, 1902. The follow
ing week, on January 26, Los Angeles
council was instituted, including among
it's charter rolls the late John +. Fran
els and the late L. A. Grant, together
with Count Bozenta, j. c. Kays, John
G.. Mott, DR.. p. G. Cotter, Joseph Scott,
C. c. Desmond, Richard j. Dillon, I. B.
Dockweiler, John p. Coyne, Martin c.
Marsh, John j. Bergin, A. Mentally,
Richard Moloney, Very Rev. Joseph S.
Glass, Rev. John j. Clifford, Rev. d.
w. J. Murphy, John o. Sullivan and
others.
Since that time the local council has
grown until it's membership now
amounts to $50, and includes among
its members the Rt Rev. Harnett, Rev.
Joseph Barron, Rev. NJ. McAuliffe, Rev.
T.. x. McCabe, Rev. E. A. Antill, Rev.
p. Have of Santa Monica, Rev. j. +.
Farrelly of Pasadena and many other
clergymen to the number of twenty
five.
Joseph Scott was appointed territor-
ial deputy in November, 1902, charged
with the duty of organizing councils
throughout the state, and in the short
term of two and one-half years fifteen
councils were established in this state,
including Oxnard, Oakland, Fresno,
Pomona, San Jose, California council
(n San Francisco), Santa Monica, San
Bernardino, Vallejo, Sacramento, Wat
sonville. Santa Cruz. Bakersfield, Long
Beach and Napa.
The combined membership of the
councils in this state now aggregates
about 1000. The order has been strong

Saturday Evening,

It may take few years for results to
show at their best. Meanwhile it is
not unlikely that the seed trains are
here. to stay, and the next year they
will go out with even better equipment.
In time the farmer who sows poor seed
will be looked upon asmore foolish than
he who disregards the long-established
laws that rule in livestock production.
Then we will not find farmer taking
his leftover wheat and blowing out 5,
10, or Is per, cent with tanning mill,
and sowing the rest, but we will find
him, rather, going into his fields at har-
vest time and selecting the best on the
farm, and putting the process Of elimin-
alton into practice against it until he
has. perfect seed, large heavyweight ber-
ries, plump and sound, every one sure
to germinate. Then we shall hear less
about wheat and other grains "running
out' and yields per acre will be larger

An Attractive Scheme.

Perhaps one reason why Minneapolis
has not made more of her charming
lakes is that nature has done so much
for this city. The scenic beauties of
our lake shores and river banks are
topics on which visitors grow enthusiast
tic. Their possibilities excite wonder
that we have not done more with them.
We have had so many other things to
do that we have not been able to give
to these features the attention which
they would have received in older and
more congested communities. Mime
apolis has no natural limits. There are
no large bodies Of water, no mountain
elevations, no encircling river bluffs to
circumscribe and restrict the spread of
the city in any direction, but we are, by
natural growth, rapidly encircing some
of our most attractive natural features
and dense settlement, will, in very
few years, occupy the shores Of our
lakes. In. the meantime, it behooves
us to see that their shores are properly
protected, and the quality and quantity
Of the water in them are maintained. !.
/ Today The Journal presents
the details Of plan to relieve the
northern part of the city Of the trouble
and expense threatened by what is
known as Bassett IS creek, and for the
diversion Of that stream into Cedar
lake, which is to be connected by an
artificial waterway with the Lake Of
the Isles, this artificial waterway to
be continued thru Lake Calhoun and
Lake Harriet into Minnehaha creek.
1t is not necessary to repeat the story
in detail here, but it seems to be APP
propriate to solicit for this project fair
consideration by the people Of the city.
The construction Of an artificial water
way between these lakes capable Of
navigation by small boats will consfi-
tute feature Of municipal improve.

plain his conduct, but at this distance
it would seem as tho there was at least
heartlessness in his anxiety to close the
incident before anything has been done

Mrs. Stanford. One would suppose
that members Of the university of

was amputated above the knee.
: The case was reported to the Asso-
ciated Charities by the neighbors. 1t
was stated that the man was neglect
ing the children. Believing that the
family might do~better in another
neighborhood, the Humane society per-
suaded them to move, and d promise
was eXacted that the children would
be cared for. In July, 1908. another
child was born, and it was stated by
the nurse and doctor that, due to long
dissipation and drunkenness, the mother
should not be allowed to care for the
child. At the time the man had just
received $40 in wages. 1t was thought
that this would be sufficient to keep
the family for a day or two, but the
next day it was found that he had
spent every cent in drink. Since that
time the various charities have prac-
tically supported the family.
It was stated this morning by an Off
Ger who had investigated the case, that
under the juvenile court rule the down.
fall Of the family would have been
impossible. In the first place, after the
children had been sent to the farms,
an investigation of the true conditions
would have been made, and the news
paper account that stirred up the peo-
pie into believing that a worthy fam
lily had been mistreated would have
been exposed. If the children had been
brought back, they would have been
placed under a probation officer, who
would have reported the situation the
first time the family got into trouble.
