President Roosevelt Makes an Appeal
TO Russia and Japan
for Peace.
THE OUTLOOK is FAVORABLE
Efforts that Have Been Made by the
President Have Been Seconded by
the Great Powers of Europe
and the End of the War Is
Said to be in Sight.

Washington, June 10.-An identical
note, the text of which, by authority Of
the president was made public late
last night at the White House by Sec
retary Loeb, has been forwarded to the
governments of Russia and Japan by
President Roosevelt. In the interest
of humanity the president urges the
warning nations to conclude peace. 1t
is suggested by the president that the
negotiations for peace be conducted
directly and exclusively" between the
belligerent nations.
The note indicates the presidents
belief that an Intermediary may not be
necessary to effect conclusive nego-
tiations, but likewise expresses the
presidents willingness to do all that
he properly may do to promote the
preliminary arrangements for time
and place of meeting of representa-
tives of the Russian and Japanese
governments.
When President Roosevelt left
Washington yesterday on a two days
trip to Virginia, he was confident that
the result Of the international nego-
tiations for peace in the far east had
been successful and that the final blow
in the Russo-Japanese war had been
struck

1T is AGAINST PATRICK,
Decision of the New York Court of Ap-
peals in a Famous Murder Case.

Albany, n. Y, June 1O.-The court
of appeals, voting four to three, has
sustained the lower courts in adjudg-
ing Albert T. Patrick, the New York
lawyer, guilty of murder in the first
degree, in causing the death of Will
liam Marsh Rice. On April I, 1902,
Patrick was convicted on an indict-
ment charging him with the murder of
Rice by chloroform and mercury, ad-
ministered to him on September 23,
1900.
The prevailing opinion is by Judge
Gray, with whom concur Judges Bart
lett, Haight and Werner. There is a
dissenting opinion by Judge O'Brien,
Chief Judge Cullen and Judge Vann
concurring, Chief Judge Cullen filing
also a memorandum.
Patrick has succeeded in postponing
the ultimate decision of his fate for
over three years by a display of acu-
men and resourcefulness that has eX-
cited the wonder of the members Of
the bar and the public at large.

FROM OHIO REPUBLICANS.
They Stand for Protection to Ameri,
can Labor and Industrial
Progress.

The republicans of Ohio gave their
voice on national issues, and gave it
unanimously. The platform was adopt
ed without dissenting vote, and every
candidate was nominated by acclama-
ton.
Ohio speaks with a high degree of
authority, says the Troy Times, for
the republicans of that state gave to
the country every republican elected
president from Lincoln to Roosevelt
and every one of them a soldier in the
union army-and cast 100000 republic
an votes last. november, with a plural
ity of 255000 for lne present chief
magistrate of the nation. When the
republicans of such a state speak in
unison it behooves the members of the
party throughout the country to give
respectful attention.
What do the Ohio republicans say?
They reaffirm unequivocally the repub-
lican platform of 1904. They stand by
protection to American labor and in
dustries, legislation to put American
ships on the seas, the proper upbuild-
ing of the navy, the continuance of
this country's influence in both hemis-
phere's, the preservation of the ballots
sacredness, the prevention of racial
discrimination and the support of the
national progress by the methods of
common sense and not by schemes that
are revolutionary and unwise.
The Ohio republicans in their plat
form indorsed the work of President
Roosevelt in enforcing the laws against
combinations in restraint of trade and
IN seeking to stop all unjust dscrimi-
nations and special favors in the form
of railway rebates.
The Buckeye state recognizes in the
universal prosperity of this country
the best vindication of the wisdom of
the republican policies. A tree that
has born such good fruit deserves to
be carefully preserved and its safety
lies in the hands of the republican par
ty. With Secretary Taft chosen to pre-
side over the convention and with two
OF Ohios sons in President Roosevelt's
cabinet, it can be seen that the rela-
tions between the national administra-
ton and the republicans of Ohio are
harmonious. Gov. Herrick in accept
ing denomination, to which his eff
cient services entitle him. said: 1--WE
republicans of Ohio stand for Theodore
Roosevelt, and we stand for every
thing that he stands for"
Ohio proves that the republican par
ty is still united in the defense and ad-
Vocacy of republican policies, and rec
ognizes that the present administra-
ton is carrying out in an earnest and
faithful way those principles of wise
progress which will not only continue
the nations prosperity, but which will
assure the retention in popular favor
OF the republican party as the safe
guardian of American growth.

PROTECTION AND SOUTH.
Remarkable Industrial Development
Due to Increase in Man
ufacturing.

The southern states have at present
under construction 4776 miles of rail
road as compared with 2.724 miles fol
the northern states, according to the
Railway Age. This, says the Ameri-
can Economist, shows the remarkable
development now going on in the
south, due almost entirely to increase
in manufacturing. One might well
wish that John &. Calhoun and Nc
Duftie and Hayne and the other free
trade leaders of arte-war times could
return and behold their old slave
states, then cOnSecrated to cotton and
rice and sugar, almost keeping pace
with the north in manufactures Had
the Walker tariff become a permanent
policy there would be no cotton mills
in the south, now consuming more
than half the cotton used in this coun-
try. The southerner no longer has to
buy his shirts and sheets by way of
Manchester, England. They can be
made, as they should be made, where
the cotton is grown and where the
coal and iron are mined to build the

But there is room for still more fac
tories, both north and south. for we
are buying annually $50,000.OOO worth

should be selling that amount in
stead. Only by joining the north in

Men Working for L. & N. at Montgom. cry Refuse to Let Diamond Found
 Come to Birmingham.

It Is reported that employees of the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Montgomery protest against the ship ment of the large diamond found in the Birmingham for inspection by Johnson Ray Tyler, the alleged pickpocket. who claims that 1t was lost by his wife. The diamond is said to be worth about s400. and when it was found Chief Gerald of Montgomery, notified Chief Wier of this city, saying that he understood the owner was here. Tyler said that stone was lost by his wife and that he offered a Montgomery detective a reward of si09 in the event it was found.
 When this was learned Chief Wier tel egraphed the Montgomery police to send the diamond by express for identification. A telephone message from the Montgom- cry chief yesterday said that the em- ployes of the Louisville and Nashville objected Tyler says he is still willing to pay the reward if it Is his wife's prop erty. He says that he and his wife passed through the state capital en route to Birmingham and that she suddenly dis covered the loss of the stone out of ring which she had been wearing. Telling of the loss to a bystander caused de- tective to be pointed out to Tyler. and he says he gave the detective the ring and told him that 1t would be worth Sloo to the man finding the stone that had dropped out of the mounting.

 When the profits came in, the witness said in reply to further ques> >)ns, they were divided with George H. Squier and associates. Personally he knew of no other instances wherein an allotment of syndicate participations to the Equitable were divided among its executive officers, who received part of the profits that might just as we'll have gone to the Equitable.
 MT. Hyde knew nothing of the fact that the check for the profits came to the Equitable and was endorsed over to George H. Squier, who made the distri- button of the profits. MT. Hyde's share of these profits was deposited to his bank account credit while he was in Europe.
 The reasons for abandoning the prac- tice of the Equitable in taking direct participation in syndicates and partici- pating under the name of James H. Hyde and associates, Mir. Hyde said. were two- fold. One was the continuation of the Squier and Fitzgerald combination, and the other convenience of bankers, who preferred to offer their participa tions in a lump and enable them to distribute them about the Equitable building to the officers and allied institutions. Witness did not remember that any participation under J. H. Hyde and associates was ever made to an individual not connected with the Equitable. Mir. Alexander directed the makeup of the associates in these syndicate participations. MT. Hyde said he was positive that MT. AIexander's de- cison was final.
 Hartman Favored If.
 Questioned regarding the s5O0O0. 900 Un- ion Pacific preferred syndicate, Mr. Hyde said that F. II. Hartman asked him to go into it on behalf of the Equi- table and Mir. Hyde took 1t up with Mir Alexander, who later talked with MT. Hartman about the matter. Mir. Harri- man explained, the witness said, that this was to be holding syndicate. The period for which 1t was to be held was five years. It was understood that this
