NATIONAL RULE OF RAILROADS.
President Roosevelt in a Speech Urges
Rail Rate Control.

"In some such body as the interstate
commerce commission there must be lodg-
ed in effective shape the power to see
that every shipper who uses the railroads
and every man who owns or manages a
railroad shall on the one hand be given
justice and on the other frand be requir-
ed to do justice" declared President
Roosevelt the other night in his speech
before the Union League Club of Phila-
delphia.
The President pointed out what he con-
siders dangers to the country if the cor
porations are not controlled so as to give
all men an equal chance in business.
Power to make rates, he insisted, should
be given to a national tribunal, and
should all other means fail he would
seek an amendment to the Constitution of
the United States to bring about federal
control of interstate commerce. Said the
President:
There must be lodged in some tri-
bunal the power over rates, and especial
ly over rebates-whether secured by
means of private cars or private tracks,
in the form of damages or commissions
or in any other manner-which will pro-
tect alike the railroad and the shipper
and put the big shipper and the little
shipper on an equal footing.
The great development of Industrial
ism means that there must be an in
crease in the supervision exercised by
the government over business enterprises.
1T was beyond question the intention
of the founders of our government that
interstate commerce in all it's branches
and aspects should be under national
control. If the courts decide that this
intention was not carried out and made
effective in the Constitution as it now
stands, then the Constitution will have
to be amended"

the attitude of the foreign press, and es-
pecially the unfriendliness manifested for
the bureaucracy by the American news
papers, calling attention to the fact that
Russia was the friend of the United
States when it needed friends.
The statement made by the grand duke
to the interviewer may be thus summar-
lied:
A constitution would mean the end of
Russia, as the State would be gone, an
archy would supervene, and when it end
ed the empire would be disintegrated.
Russia is not ripe for a constitution.
But the people will be given voice
in the government. Of that l am GER
tain. They will be given the means of
presenting their needs and grievances
direct to the sovereign.
Why does America misinterpret and
think i'll of US? We have always been
friends-friends of a century, friends
when America needed friends. Why has
all this changed? What has Russia done
to deserve it?
Why should the foreign press, espe-
cially that of Great Britain, not hesitate
before any calumny? | have stood aghast
at the frightful stories they have print
ed. 1t is infamous.
Gorky will not be hanged. Talk Of
the government hanging him is nonsense.

others-the WOerz, Shipman, Talbot and
Fraternity Clubhouse robberies-he relat-
ed every detail. He said it would have
been the easiest thing in the world for
the police to have captured him on vari-
Gus occasions, but that there had been
no attempt made to follow him after he
had left the houses he entered, except in
one instance.

GRAND DUKES VIEWS.
Vladimir Declares that a Constitution
Now Would Be Death of Russia.


Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of Emper-
or Nicholas and commander of the Impe-
rial Guard, Wednesday granted the first
comprehensive official interview that has
been given by a representative OF the
Gar in connection with the present
crisis in Russia.
The grand duke defends the Russian
government for the steps it has taken to
check the riots throughout the country.
He declares that the movement which
started the thousands of workers march
ing toward the winter palace Jan. y was
inaugurated by revolutionists, and insists
that it was the duty of the government
to fight back the mob with every power
it possessed. He declared that the Rus
sian people are to be given voice in
the government, but adds that at present
the mass of Russian citizenship is not
ready for a constitution. He deplores

GOVERNOR REP1lEVES WOMAN.

Chance for New Trial.

y
Chance for New Trial.
Mrs. Mary Rogers, who was to have
been hanged Friday at Waterbury, Vt,
for the murder of her husband, has been
reprieved until June 2. Strong appeals
were made for the unfortunate woman,
that evidence might be placed before the
Supreme Court to warrant granting a
new trial, and they have won. When
Mrs. Rogers was notified her lease of
life had been extended, she received the
news calmly, but shortly after shed tears,
showing the first real emotion since the
trial. She said, however, she was pre-
pared for the hanging had the ordeal
taken place.
When the murder was committed Mrs.
Rogers was only 20 years old and the
woman s~youth and the atrocity of the
crime aroused unusual interest in the
case. Not in many years has the public,
especially New England people, shown
such anxiety regarding the fate of a con-

Lee Tannehil1 Narrowly Escapes Being

Lee Tannehill, third baseman of the
Chicago Americans, had a narrow es-
cape from being drowned while skating
on the Ohio river near his home at Day
ton, KY. Tannehill tried to cross to the
Ohio side and broke through the ice when
half way over. The undercurrent at this
point is very strong, and, unaided it
looked impossible for him to get out. But
Lee made desperate battle for his life.
At last one arm rested on the solid ice,
to which his fur glove froze. With this
to steady him he managed to drag him
self out and pick his way, almost ex-
hausted, to the Kentucky shore.
