IS ST. Petersburg, April 7.-Efforts OF
the police to smother political agita-

Students to place on the 81 yes OF

norant the policemen make curious
mistakes.
Stories Of suffering on the part Of
widows, wives and families of soldiers
at the front are attracting general at
tention and the public demands gov
ernmerlt aid for the sufferers. Local
charities are no longer able to cope
with the situation. Under the new
press regulations papers are not per-
mitted to publish anything affecting
the emperor and imperial family with
out consent Of the court censorship.

Mail Order House Teamsters' Strike.
May involve Thousand Men.
Chicago, April Two hundred
steamsters employed by the mail order
firm OF Montgomery Ward & Co..
struck today in sympathy with the
garment workers, who have been in a
struggle with their employers for four
months. In the belief of many labor
leaders, today's strike IS the beginning
OF a great contest that may involve
10000 drivers. Strike pickets sur
rounded the Ward building today. and
drivers with consignments Of freight
express, coal, etc, for the Arm were
stopped and turned back.
There were several clashes between
the police and crowds during the day,
when the latter sought to obstruct the
movement OF trucks loaded with goods
for Ward & Co. Several attacks were
made on no-union drivers by strikers
and sympathizers, but no one was in
jured to any great extent.

President of Church in Utah .Favors
Driving Out His Critics.
Salt Lake City, Utah. April Z. -
President Joseph T. Smith. In his adj
dress at the annual conference OF the
Mormon church yesterday referred to
recent criticisms OF the policy of the
church under his leadership. Speaking
of critics who are or have been with
the church, he said they were "the
boils, carbuncles and other eXcrescenc-
es Of the body of the organization" In
such instances there was but one
thing to do-what the surgeon does
with patient thus affected-cut them
out and off.
If any members of the church We're
dissatisfied with the manner in which
the tithings had been handled let them
complain, he said, and he would gladly
meet them. If the church desired to
call him to account it could be done
without causing noise or disturbance.
More than half of the bonded in
debtedness Of the church had been
paid Off President Smith said, and the
church would soon be free from debt.
Hugh j. Cannon. just returned from
a three years mission in Germany
told of the activities of the Mormon
missionaries in Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, Hungary, Roumania, and Ser
via. He said missionaries soon would
be sent over the Alps into Italy.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE annual
parade Of the horse guards always
heretofore one Of the most spectacu-
lar military ceremonies as well as So
cial functions Of the year, was chiefly
notable today by the absence of the
emperor and imperial family, who with
the empress dowager, empress and the
entire court, remained at Tsarskoe-
Selo. The only grand dukes who ven
tured out were Nicholas Boris and
Alexander Michaelovitch, the first
named representing the emperor. Even
Vladimir, commander of the military
district was not present, his explain
alton being that he was detained at
the palace on account of sickness.
The danger to the imperial family is
regarded as especially great today as
It happened that this was the festi-
val Of the Immaculate conception, one
of the strictest religious holidays. All
business is suspended, the entire pop
ulation in the streets, and the fear
of some untoward incident in view of
the activity of the terrorists, induced
extraordinary precautions. The police
made number of arrests, but the mil
itar., display happily passed off with
out any disturbances.

Winnings From Rockford Girl Re-
suits in Stopping Game.
Rockford, ILL.,, April because a
Chicago travelling man has run OF
luck in shaking dice for cigars with
pretty girl behind the cigar counter
in a hotel here, and series Of Incl
dents which followed, every dice box
in the cigar stores, restaurants and
hotels went into retirement on a police
order.
Starting a game with the cigar
counter maid, the drummer continued
until he had won box Of cigars. The
game went on until the travelling man
had something like sl07 in cigars
coming to him. Horified by her losses,
the girl referred settlement to the
manager.
Some doubt as to the legality of the
,Chicagoan's game was expressed, a
blow or two struck, and the luck man
was arrested He convinced the
chief that he had a good reputation
and did not carry loaded dice, and was
released.
The hotel is said tc have settled
with the drummer on the basis OF 10
cents on the dollar, and disposed OF
his cigars to grocery and drug stores.

NEW APPOINTMENT CRITICISED
Presidents Selection Of c. e. Grun-
sky as Engineer Of Irrigation serv-

Washington, April president
Roosevelt's action in appointing c. E.
Grunsky, one of the members of the
Walker isthmian canal commission, as
engineer of the irrigation and reclama-
ton service, has provoked considerable
criticism from officials in the service.
1t is claimed the president had no au-
thority to appoint Mr.. Grunsky or al
low him salary of $4,000 a year, es-
pecially as congress refused to pass the
bill providing for a post of this char
acter. AS matter of fact Mr.. Grun-
sky was given the appointment by
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock,
who has authority to do SO, and his act
received the full sanction of the pres
ident. 1t is suggested that opposition
to the Administrations action comes
from friends Of 800 odd engineers and
assistant engineers, who are borne on
the pay rolls of the government for the
irrigation and reclamation service
Members of congress have believed
such a large force was not needed.

Uniforms Has Mystified Govern
ment-An African Expedition Sus-
pected.
Paris April 7--Investigations of the
secret police have not yet determined
whether the arms and uniforms re-
Gently seized in the suburbs of Paris
were intended for chimerical Afri-
can expedition or a sedltious move
ment against the government. The
statements made by Deputy Rabier
tend to show the existence of plot.
Rabier recently received letters warn
ing him that number OF men We're
planning a surprise movement. He
afterwards dismissed the letters, but
recently decided to submit them to
ed them over to the police. One OF
the letters says prominent general
was at the head Of the movement,
which included a number of reputies
and one former cabinet minister. Ac-
cording to this letter the necessary
arms, uniforms and equipments were
ready and recruitment was going on
among the colonial troop. 1t is said
Premier Rouvier and other officials
received similar warnings. However,
the plot If it actually existed, appears
to have been nipped in the bud by the
activity of the police. The affair
gives rise to much sensational con-
lecture. The newspapers make veil
led illusions to many prominent
generals and civilians who, 1t is
claimed had a hand in the affair.

and also classifies the total for the

those people who have been eldeavor-
ing to show that Iowa farmers are GO

esting statistics to ponder over. 1t is
claimed that one can prove anything
by figures The report issued before
this one shows that 116 farmers were
convicted of crimes of one kind or
another during one year and this num-
ber exceeds that of any other class ex-

were $40. Just as in the matter Of
insanity when it is taken into consid-
GRAFTON that there are in Iowa several
