Hold Your Cotton.

The Wilmington Messenger expresses
the opinion that the farmers should not
be frightened at the low price OF cotton
incident to the large crop report, bu'
should continue to hold what cottnI
they have until the furry is over. Tha'

opinion as to what the price of cotton
will do is only so much guess work.

THREE MURDERS
SAN FRANCISCO WOMAN HAS
STRANGE STORY
FOSTER MOTHER KILLED MEN
If the Narrative Of Mrs. Ada Smith
Is True the Cloud Is Removed
From Reputation Of Or.
MOTHER KILLED MEN

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Mrs
Ada Smith told the police today a pc.
culiar story of the murder of three mer
by her foster mother. Mrs. Mary Eliz-
abeth Merrill, in 1870. which if true, re-
moves the cloud from the reputation OF
Dr., De Haven, who was accused of
having caused their deaths by mall
practice.
IT seems that DIR. De Haven carried
on medical practice at 22S Post street.
the majority of his patients being wo-
men, several of whom disappeared. and
the finding Of three skeletons in his cell
lar caused his arrest on the charge OF
malpractice. He was put under $10,-
900 bail and fed, forfeiting the ball.
Mrs. Smith now comes out with the
story that when she was years old. in
1870, she saw her foster mother kill a
rich mining man. She stupifed him
with whisky and then stabbed him and
in pretending TO help him upstairs,
showed him down the cellar steps. He
was a roomer at her house.
Subsequently two other roomers dis
appeared mysteriously and II was
thought by Mrs. Smith that the skele-
tons found IN the cellar are the bones
OF the three mentioned.

GOSUDARSTVEN NNAIDUMA,

Keeping Final Authority In
His Own Hands
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press. :.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.-The
Russian experiment in parliamentarism
will begin in September. The Associa-
ted Press is now in a position to make
this positive announcement. The en-
peror has already given his approval, to
the scheme, now being finally but for
mally reviewed by the council of state.
for a legislative body consisting of
lower house called the Gosudarstven-
naiaduma, or Imperial Duma," and an
upper house, Gosudarstvennaiasov or
the present council of the empire. with
power to formulate legislation, discuss
the budget, interpellate ministers, ETC..
while reserving in the emperor's own
hands the final authority.
The elections will take place during
the coming summer. Although the
scheme clings with desperation to the
essence of autocracy. it marks the be-
ginning of the end. The die once cast
there can be no retreat and the quasi
parliamentary regime which will be in
augurated will prove to be merely
transitory bridge over which absolut-
ism must cross to constitutionalism.
Peace and constitution appear sim
ultaneously on the Russian horizon.
The proclamation of parliament, either
in the form of a manifesto or as a
ukase. will be promulgated within a
few days.

HOUCHTON NOT
A COUNCILMAN
HIS RESIGNATION HELD TO Be
< CONCLUSIVE ACT
SO DECLARES CITY ATTORNEY
Little Trick He Sought to Turn Has
Proved Boomerang, and Now
He Is Counted Down -
and Out
so DECLARES CITY ATTORNEY

According to the law as interpreted
by City Attorney Mathews, A. D.
Houghton is no longer the representa-
tive of the Sixth ward in the city coun-
Gil. He is down and out.
Last Friday afternoon the represent
tative Of the Sixth resigned his seat af-
ter. little unpleasantness, and left the
council chamber. He left with the city
officials the next night for Salt Lake,
however, saying that he had reconsid-
cred.
His colleagues in the city's legislative
body had refused to accept his resigna-
tion and a motion intended to smooth
over the difficulty adopted, but the law
makes this just as impossible as the act
on the part Of an elective official of re-
considering his resignation.
Houghtons hasty action and the lit
tie trick he sought to turn has proved
a boomerang. A search of the state law
and the city charter, coupled with a
consultation with City Attorney Math-
ews yesterday, brought out the fact
that when an elective official resigns
from the body which must call the
election to choose, his successor, that
act is final. The Legislative body in
question Is the council and as such has
no power to refuse to accept resigna-
tion of one of it's members. The resig-
nation is not subject to any conditions.
it is final. This is the way the law is
interpreted by the city attorney and
other legal advisers.
When discussing the question yester-
day prominent attorneys quoted from
decisions on the subject handed down
by the California supreme court, which
has several times declared that when
an elective official resigns, whether ver-
bally or in writing (unless the law COW
ering his office specifies writing) he is
no longer public official, but private
citizen. and an election must be called
to choose his successor
The law governing county officials for
Los Angeles county states that all res
ignations shall be in writing. but the
city charter merely says resign, not
specifying any method.

WASHINGTON, June t2-Official as
surance that the presidents efforts to
bring Russia and Japan together to
discuss peace will be crowned with
success was brought to the White
House today by Count Casslni. the Rus
sian ambassador, who called by ap-
polntment and in the name of EN-
peror Nicholas formally accepted the
presidents "offer of good will'
The following official statement re-
garding the conference was issued at
the White House:
Ambassador Cassni has called to
express the Russian governments as
sent to the presidents proposition and
to state that they would appoint pleni-
potentiaries to meet the plenipotenti-
aries of Japan to discuss the question
present being discussed"
Japan was the first Of the two pow
ers to indicate its acceptance of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposition. The FORM
al response to his Identical note of
Thursday last was received from the
Japanese government Saturday. While
satisfactory, the response of Russia
was not in the same definite form as
that of Japan, being very badly COM
municated by Count Cassini.
In addition to indicating the accep-
tance by the Russian government Of
President Roosevelt's proposition Count
Cassini informed the president of Rus
sias desires as to the place of meeting
of the plenipotentiaries and named
those who probably would be delegated
to represent the Russian emperor. At
the conclusion of the conference Count
Cassini declined to discuss for publi-
cation the details of his interview with
President Roosevelt.
Minister Takahira had a conference
with President Roosevelt at o'clock
this afternoon. The interview lasted
thirty-five minutes. The minister, in
response to inquiries after the confer
ence said that the situation was so
delicate that he did not feel free to
talk about it.
Meeting Place Not Yet Decided
1t can be said that the place of the
meeting of the plenipotentiaries Of the
two governments has not been finally
settled. In the arrangement of this de-
tail and others of like Importance Pres
ident Roosevelt Is acting as an inter-
mediary between Russia and Japan.
Russia through Ambassador Cassini
has indicated her preference for one
place for the holding of the peace con-
