What TWohey Said Went.

Lewis Twohey is a we'll known citi-
zen of Lawrence, Mass, and was for
many years president of the Father
Mathew Temperance Society of that
city. He was very arbitrary in his
rulings and would often refuse to en-
tertain any appeal from his decisions.
On one occasion, after having made
a ruling which was in direct conflict
with the parliamentary laws govern
ing the deliberations of the society,
one of the members rose to his feet
with the remark: But, Mr.. President,
that isn't Cushing"
The president replied: II know it;
but it's Twohey, and what Twohey
says goes.' And it did.

= ~ H. Client, .%ss~ ~.

Attorney General Moody relates the
following story: Happening by the
police court in : Washington, he went
in to see the workings of Judge Kim
balls court. Two colored boys of
about 10 years were being arraigned
for having been disobedient and way
ward. Officers gave testimony that
the boys ran away from home and
slept in boxes and under doorsteps;
and one >of the boys, Willie Jones,
was charged with stealing a bicycle
belonging to a little white boy.
A colored attorney named Smith
arose and addressed the court in ef-
feet as follows: t'If it please your
honor. I appear for that boy there,
Willie Jones-step out. Willie Jones.
Now, he is the son of Mr.. Jones, that
gentleman there in white overalls.
Mr.. Jones says he thinks this great
city is not the right place to bring up
boy, and if your honor sees fit to let
Willie off he will send him down to
Virginia to his old uncies farm, where
he can be looked after (here Mr. Smith
was carried away with his argument), ,
and where he won't see any bicycles,
or tricycles, or automobiles, Or"
The Judge stopped him here and
said, 'Now, Mr.. Smith, you do not
think Willie Jones would steal an au-

Smith was puzzled for a moment
and then replied: well, your honor,
they do claim this boy stole bicycle,

MAY CALL ZEMSKYZABOR
Emperor Reported to Be Following
Traditions of House of Romanoff

by Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, June AL
though official confirmation is lacking,
the Associated Press again hears on
very high authority that Emperor
Nicholas has resolved to follow the an
oient tradition of the house of Roman
off and summon a zemskyzabor to
meet in the ancient capital of Moscow
to decide on peace or war and deter
mine the prerogatives of the future
Russian parliament.
Prices on the bourse today were
steady, the effect of the Russian defeat
on the sea of Japan being offset by
persistent reports of political changes
The diplomats agree that Russia
must decide whether the peace nego-
tiations shall begin. The idea that
there is any concerted movement
among the powers to force mediation
upon the belligerents is rejected. The
United States is mentioned as the only
power which might possibly undertake
such a delicate role, but President
Roosevelts attitude against taking any
action except at the request of Russia
is well known. The suggestion comes
from Paris, however that President
Roosevelt might be induced to act upon
the initiative of Foreign Minister Del
casse, since France, while strongly
urging Russia to make peace. is in no
position to initiate direct action.
Attempts during the afternoon to Sc
cure confirmation in court circles of
the report that the emperor had de-
cided to- summon a zemskyzabor met
with the positive assertion that def
mite decision had not been reached.

BY the overwhelming majority of
6SO4, and in one of the hottest fought
elections ever witnessed in Los An

closing of the saloons yesterday went
down to a decisive defeat.
The total number of ballots cast
was 23,736, of which 1886 were in favor
of the ordinance and 1920 in opposi-
ton to it, a vote which, almost ct
the ratio of 2 to 1, showed the senti-
ment of Los Angeles voters to be in
favor of the present conservative con-

The total vote came to within a few
hundred of that cast in the last city
election, which was one of unusual in
terest to all classes and conditions, in
view of the men lined up against each
other and the things they stood for.
Almost full vote was polled in
every precinct. An exceedingly large
number of voters were challenged by
the anti-saloon workers, but with half
a dozen exceptions no votes were
thrown out. AT precinct 81, with the
opening of the polls, a number of

COUNSELS CAR

PRESIDENT TALKS STRAIGHT
TO CASSINI
SEES NO HOPE FOR RUSSIA
Speaks as Friend, and Says Delay viii
Only Increase Japan's Demands,
Making Peace More
Difficult
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The presl-
dent today struck blow for peace in
the far ca IT, in conference at the
White House this afternoon with Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, the
president expressed the earnest wish
that Russia would forthwith conclude
peace with Japan. Prolongation of the
war, he believes, will not result in
victory for the Russian arms and can
only serve to increase Japans demands
and render more difficult the drafting
of treaty of peace which the czar
as well as the mikado can sign.
The president spoke, he said, as the
friend of Russia, no less than of Japan,
and on behalf not only of the Wash
ngton government but in the interest
of humanity. Until his words have
reached Tsarskoe- Selo and have been
communicated to Emperor Nicholas in
the friendly spirit in which they were
uttered they can not be estimated
Soon after reaching his embassy,
Count Cassini began the preparation
of dispatch to his government.
Neither at the White House nor at the
Russian embassy could formal state
ment regarding the conference be OBJ
tanned. Throughout the diplomatic
corps there is strong hope that to-
days conference marked the first step
toward peace, but the general opinion
is that weeks may elapse before even
preliminary negotiations can be begun.
Diplomats express the hope that En-
peror Nicholas will receive the presi-
dents words as the counsel of that
government which has for years been
Russias traditional friend, and will
weigh it accordingly.
Conversation Was Cordial,
Regarding his visit to the White
House all that Count Cassini would
say was: 81 had most cordial con-
versation with the president this after
noon, during which the whole situation
in the far east was discussed informal
ly and in a general manner. No peace
overtures were received from Japan,
nor We're any made. Our talk was con-
