ROBBERS MAKE A MIDNIGHT
CALL ON SALOONMAN DISIER
They Lock Him I'm Room and Then
Ransack the Premises, but
Fail to Get Much Money.

Fail to Get Much Money.
Two masked highwaymen entered
the saloon of Jules Disier at the
southeast corner Of Oak and Frank.
lin streets shortly before midnight.
Disier was preparing to close up the
saloon for the night. One of the doors
of the saloon on Franklin street had
been locked and Disier was about to
lock the other when two men wear
ing black masks covered him with re-
volvers. One of the robbers searched
Disier and took $14 from his pocket.
Disier resisted the men and they
showed him into little room in the
rear of the saloon.
The robber ransacked the place and
took $6 more from the cash register
AS Disier was thrown into the room,
he locked the door from the inside. The
men evidently feared that Disier would
gain an exit to the street and give an
alarm. One Of the masked men broke
the glass door and pointed his revolver
at Disier AS he did this the gritty
saloonman struck the highwayman
over the wrist with a broomstock See
ing the determined effort Disier was
making to expose them and fearing
that some passerby might be attracted
to the scene, the men hastily left.
Disier finally succeeded In climbing
through the glass door. He notified Po
liceman Lane. who was~on duty in that
vicinity

ANTT-INJUNCTION BILL.
Measure Favored by President Reg
ulates the Issuance of Writs.

Measure Favored by President Reg
ulates the Issuance of Writs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-An' import
ant measure which is the result of con-
ferences held during the past two
months between President Roosevelt,
Attorney General Moody, Commissioner
of Corporations Garfield and represent
tatives of labor organizations and cor
porate interests, has been introduced in
the House of Representatives by Rep
resentative Jenkins of Wisconsin. 1t
provides that in labor disputes an in
junction shall not be issued until op-
portunity shall have been afforded the
adverse party to the proceedings to be
heard by the court, and is intended as
q substitute for measures pending in
Congress.
Commissioner Garfield to-day made
this explanation of the proposed meas
ure:
The original statute of 1893 provided that a
hearing should be had before the issuance OF
any extraordinary writ Equity rule 90 SIM
ply carried that provision into effect in all
the revised statutes in 1872 the old law was
% changed as In effect to reIeal that part of
equity rule 55, requiring the giving Of notice
before granting the temporary restraining
order.
The bill introduced by Representative Jen-
kns restores that provision of the rule which
requires that due notice must be given to the
adverse party in all labor cases before the
writ may issue. Its effect will be not to limit
the right OF injunction, but to prevent the i'm
provident granting of writs of Injunction by
sffording the adverse party opportunity to
be heard before action is taken by the court.

STATE UNDERTAKERS WILL
SOON JOIN NATIONAL BODY
Delegates Are in Favor Of Afffliat-
ing With Organizations of
Other States.


The State Funeral Directors of Cali
fornia unanimously decided yesterday
morning at their session to join the
national association just as soon as
they are recognized by that body.
This plan has been under considera-
ton for a long time and when the
matter was brought up yesterday all
the delegates were in favor of the
move. The undertakers Of nearly
every State in the Union are affiliated
with the national body and the Cali
fornians are of the opinion that they
will derive much benefit by the affilia-
ton.
The national convention Of UNDER
takers from all over the country will
meet next August and it is the purpose
of the California association to send
delegates to that gathering. Applica-
tion for admission to the national body
will be made at once.
The undertakers decided to meet
next year in Los Angeles. The date of
the convention has been changed from
January to the third Wednesday in Oc-
tober. Another practical demonstra-
ton was held yesterday afternoon at
the. College of Physicians and Sur
geons. Last night the delegates en-
Joyed a banquet at a. downtown cafe.
The session will end with a meeting
nt Red Mems Hall this morning and a
final demonstration at the college in
the afternoon.

PRELATES CONFER WITH

Executive Tells Ecclesiastics That He
Earnestly Desires to Cooperate
With Them


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Right Rev.
Doane of Albany. and committee Of
the Interchurch Conference on Mar
riage and Divorce called on the Presi-
dent to-day to confer with him in re-
gard to some of the results of their de-
alterations. Bishop Doane, speaking
for the committee, delivered brief
address to President Roosevelt. to
which the President replied as follows:
Bishop Doane and Gentlemen: 1t is a very
great pleasure to me to receive you here.
There is certain tendency to exalt the un-
essential in dealing with our public questions.
and public men especially apt to get their
attention concentrated on questions that have
Ii Importance but wholly ephemeral COM
pared with the questions that go straight to
the root of things. Questions like the tariff
quence whatever compared with the necessity
o. having the unit of our social life. the home,
preserved. 1t Is impossible to overstate the
Importance of the cause you represent.
While / do not know exactly what 1t is that
you wish to do, / can say In advance that
far ~ in lies all will be done to CO.
operate with you toward the end you have In
gerous features. Of American life is the
diminishing birth rate and the loosening OF
the marital ties among the old native Ameri-
can families 1t goes without saying that for
the race for the. individual; no material
prosperity, no business growth, no artistic or
scisItiffc development, will count II the race
commits suicide. Therefore, Bishop, count
with you in this matter OF vital Importance to
the national welfare.

PREDTCTs CARS FAIL.
George Meredith Believes Russian
Autocracy Is Doomed. ~


LONDON, Jan. 27-George Meredith,
the author. in the course of an inter
view given to the Chronicle yesterday,
expressed a strong. conviction that the
Tong reign of despotism which blocks
Eastern Europe is slowly but surely
coming to an end"
''The Emperor is a poor. weak crea-
ture,' said Meredith. I'VE must! all
pity him in his fall. He has no will
of his own, but as for the Grand Dukes,
they are the enemies of human kind.
Nobody In the world will regret their
disappearance. They are. the real
authors Of the terrible events in St.
Petersburg and Moscow. We know
now that 1t is the bureaucracy, with
the Grand Dukes at it's head, that
rules Russia.
BY meeting the petitioners the EN-
peror might have averted bloodshed
and delayed revolution for a few years;
but nothing, imagine, can now pre-
vent the early downfall Of the Govern
ment. do not think the rising will be
Immediately successful. The revolu-
tionaries are scattered and have few
leaders. The poor creatures cannot
remain loyal to their superstition, the
revolution will be crushed now, but not
killed.
II think events will take the follow
ing course: The strike will stop prepar-
ations for carrying on the war; the
necessity OF dragooning the people into
submission will prevent reinforcing the
army in Manchuria; Kuropatkin, with
reinforcements and supplies cut off,
viii have no choice but to attempt a
stroke which, am convinced. will fail;
the failure will send back q wave upon
st. Petersburg which win overwhelm
the Emperor and the Grand Dukes. In
that way the revolution will be ef-
fected."
In conclusion, Meredith contended
that 1t is impossible that Russia can
long escape the spirit of liberalism
that has overswept Europe, and said:
The Emperor's message, like him
self, is weak. 1t means nothing. after
the appointment of such a man as
TEepof. Sympathizing Englishmen
should give practical support in the
shape OF money to the Russian re-
formers -

COURT ANNULs GIRLS
MARRIAGE TO MANIAC

IOung woman Alleges That She Was
Compelled to Wed Man Known
to Be Insane.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 26.-Allega-
tions of a sensational nature were
made by Mrs. Winnie Mullen Of Fort
Wayne, Ind, in her efforts to have her
marriage to Elias Mullen annulled..
The girl alleges that she was coerced
into wedding Mullen when she was
only 13 years of age. This was in
1897. She says that Mullen was
maniac at the time of the marriage
and that two weeks afterward he was
brought to this city and placed in the
State hospital.
Mullen is still in the asylum and
his case is pronounced incurable by
the hospital physicians. The mar
riage was annulled by the court.
