PUBLIC PRINTER BUSTED.
President Demands Resignation TO take
Effect September IS.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Public Print
err F. w. Palmer, practically has been
ousted from Office. 1t was learned au-
thoritatively that President Roosevelt
had demanded Palmer's resignation,
to take effect on the 18th inst. The
demand of the president for Palmer's
resignation was due primarily to the
latter's action in trying to force Oscar
j. Ricketts,, foreman of printing and
L. c. Hay, foreman of division, out
of the government printing office.
Palmer asked for the resignation of
Ricketts, and Hay on the ground that
they had been insubordinate.
AS soon as President Roosevelt
learned of the situation that had de-
veloped he directed Public Printer
Palmer to forward his resignation to
take effect in two weeks
1t has been known for some time
that Palmer would not stay. For sew
eral months before Roosevelt left
Washington for Oyster Bay he was
casting about for a suitable man for
the position of public printer He Of
fered it to John A. Sleicher of New
York, but he declined it, having some
thing better in view. Until this time
there has been no change in the situa-

SYNDICATE SECURITIES.
Inquiry Into Mutual Life Insurance
Company.

New York, Sept. 9.-The affairs of
the Equitable Life Assurance society
and the Mutual Life Company held the
attention of the legislative commit
tee. Nothing particularly new was de-
veloped in regard to the Equitable So
ciety, other than the statement drawn
from one of the officers that the So
ciety does not know the present
whereabouts of Thomas D. Jordan,
the former comptroller. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Jordan was wanted as a wit
ness to explain the loan OF S6S5,OOO
made to the Equitable society by the
Mercantile Trust Company. 1t was
also stated that James H. Hyde, form
err vice-president of the Equitable,
later will be called as a witness. The
inquiry into the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company was begun. The tes'
timony drawn from an officer OF this
company showed that the Mutual con-
trolls many trust companies, among
them the Morton Trust Company, the
Guarantee Trust Company and the
United States Mortgage and Trust
company.
On deposit with these companies
the insurance company keeps hum
dreds of thousands of dollars, against
which it does not draw. 1t was eX-
planned that the prosperity of the
trust company meant the prosperity
of the insurance company. The in
surance deposits draw two per cent
and the trust companies pay as high
as twenty per cent dividends on the
par value of the stock, or five per cent
on the market value.

INHABITANTS MAssAcREED.
During Desperate Attack Nearly
1000 Were Killed.

Baku, Caucasia, Sept. 9.-The situa.
ton here shows no signs of ameliora'
ton. 1t could hardly be worse. The
terror-stricken inhabitants are fleeing
from the city, knowing that the garri-
son is utterly inadequate to protect
them and although the worst scenes
of fire and massacre have not yet oc-
Cured in Baku, itself, none dare think
how far the excuses may proceed.
The principal fighting is not in Baku
itself. but at Balkan, where hun
dreds have been shot by the infantry
and artillery, and where 1000 were
killed or wounded during a desperate
attack on the military camp and pro-
visions depot.
The troops sustained few casual.

A large number Of workmen barri
caded themselves in the Balkan hos
pital. The soldiers began the attack
with rifle fire and then stormed the
hospital and completed their work
with the bayonet.
The entire oil and commercial quar-
tiers Of Balakhan, Subanto. have been
wiped out by fire and the inhabitants
remaining behind were massacred and
thrown into the flames. Bibieat con-

mander-in-Chief of the Organization
MANY Other PreIiminaries Gone
Through.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 6.-The official
business of the thirty-ninth national
encampment of the Grand Army or
the Republic was transacted when the
national council of administration met
and selected z. B. Stillings of Boston,
for the Office of junior vice-command-
er-in-chief to fill the vacancies caused
by the death of Commander-in-Ch Chief
ton thereby of the new officials be-
low him in line. The council also ap-
proved the work of its executive COM
mittee performed during the interim
since the last encampment and audit
ed the accounts of the official visit of
COMMUNICATIVE Blackmar upon
the reception rendered his party by
George w. Cook, chairman of the To-
cal executive committee, in which the
latter is characterized as "a host with
a bigger heart than all others" was
made public by the national council
for this first time.
The streets were thronged and the
strains of martial music were heard
throughout the downtown district.
Drum corps and brass bands followed
by grizzled veterans marched to and
from between department and nation
al headquarters while sight-seers fill
ed the sidewalks and congested the
street curbings. The streets were
brilliantly Illuminated and the ma
tional colors in all sorts of forms flew
from every building in the business
section.
Visitors say the decorations are the
most elaborate ever attempted in
honor of a Grand Army encampment.
The program proper of encampment
events begins and concludes parade
of naval veterans and military organi-
cations. Camp fires begin soon. The
national encampment executive board
will convene in secret session on
Thursday morning. The woman's
auxiliary of the Union ex-prisoners of
war will also convene in annual ses-

steamer Juanita near that point, and
although the identity of the ship has
not been completely established
there seems little doubt that it was
the Olive Jeanette. This schooner
was in tow of the steamer l.. r. Doty
when the latter vessel was lost with
her entire crew on Lake Michigan a
few years ago.
The storm at times reached the pro-
portions of hurricane and the
staunchest new steel vessels were
forced to run for shelter in more or
less battered condition. The new
steel steamer Stackhouse arrived at
the 500 on her first trip with her
hatch covers so badly sprung that wa
ter poured continually into the hold.
One of the crew was washed over
board. The whaleback steamer
Samuel Mather also lost one of her
crew overheard. The terrific batter
ing the steel steamers received in the
storm gives rise to the gravest fears
for many wooden ships which have
not yet reached port and the record
of death and destruction may reach
much greater proportions than the
present estimates. The monetary loss
of the Savona is placed at $4,000,
while that of the Pretoria is estimated
at $150,000.

WANT SEPARATE TRIALS.
This May be Demanded by the Chicago
Packers.

Chicago Sept. Z. - Twenty-one
separate trials may be demanded be-
fore federal judges by the Chicago
packers indicted on charges of con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, within
the next two weeks. After the mat
ter of pleading had been continued
until September Is by Judge ]. Otis
Humphrey many Of the attorneys in
terested in the case held a consulta-
ton and at least one agreement was
reached whereby a separate trial will
be demanded from the government.
This move was anticipated by the
government and every effort will be
made by the federal attorneys to Off
set the request of the defendants.
Assistant Attorney General Oliver
Pagin, in speaking of the contemplate
ed demand for separate trials declar-
ed that it is not probable that separ-
ate hearings will be granted by the
federal courts under the one indict-
ment charging conspiracy.
"All these defendants are included
in the one Indictment charging con-
spiracy in restraint of trade" said
Attorney Pagin. Conspiracy of
course will be the essence of the case
and inasmuch as it takes all of these
defendants together to form the al
legged conspiracy there is no reason
why they should not be tried togeth-
err"

NEGRO BURNED AT STAKE.
This Makes the Third in This Section
of Texas In a Short Time.

of Texas In Short Time.
Fort Worth, Sept "a special to
the Record from Waxahachie tells of
the burning of Steve Davis, young
negro, who confessed to outraging
Mrs. S. p. Norris, aged 20, last Satur-
day night.
A mob consisting of $500 persons
tied the negro to piece of gas pipe
that had been set in the ground, piled
fagots around him and set the mass
on fire. The sufferings of the negro
were of short duration owing to the
ierceness of the fire which was fan
ned by a gale of wind which blew
across the prairie.
The husband of the woman is said
to have set the match to the timber
and started the blaze that consumed
the negro.
Davis was arrested last Tuesday and
taken before the woman who at that
time was not sure it was he. She had
been desperately i'll. He was again
taken before the woman, who, on
sight of him, tainted.
When she revived she identified
him and his fate was sealed. The
negro finally confessed, detailing the
crime.
This is the third negro that has
been burned in this section of Texas
within a short time.
One of these was lynched at Sui
phur Springs and another at Waco.

tai for the Proposed State-In no
Case viii the People be Satisfied
With Statehood With Oklahoma.

Muskogee, I. T., Sept. 9.-The con-
stitutional convention adopted reso-
luton, declaring that whether con-
gress accepts the constitution of Sc
quoyah or not, in no case will the peo-
pie of this country be satisfied with
statehood with Oklahoma. The con-
vention selected Fort Gibson as the
capital of the proposed state, and APP
pointed committee to take the con-
stitution and appeal for statehood to
congress and the president. The con-
vention adopted the greater part of
the constitution adopted by the COM
mittee. Article A, in suffrage and
election, provides that the first gen.
eral assembly shall provide for sub
mission to the people of proposition
for woman's suffrage.
The labor of children under twelve

Muskogee, ]. T. - Whereas, Those
who are actively working for the
cause of single statehood entertain
the idea that because the principal
chiefs of the FIVE civilized tribes are
working assiduously to establish a
separate state for the Indian Terri
tory, in so doing they are committing
themselves to the cause of statehood
of any kind and that congress may
construe their actions as warranting
the bringing in of the Indian Terri
tory with Oklahoma as single state,
and that they would acquiesce in such
action; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the people of In
dian Territory are in good faith de-
manding separate statehood as a mat
ter of right. and not with view of
obstructing any kind of statehood;
and if congress should see fit to re-
fuse this just demand and join Indian
Territory with Oklahoma and bring it
into the Union as a single state with
the territory of Oklahoma, it will do
SO without the consent of the Indians,
as well as the other inhabitants, and
over their most solemn protest"
The foregoing resolution, declaring
faith in immediate separate statehood,
was adopted unanimously by the con-
stitutional convention here just be-
fore it's adjournment.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.


A gentleman who has acquired a
judicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfower
State, writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
Bile necessity in my family's everyday
life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all In perfect
physical condiion-as a preventive OF
disease 1t is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes. skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
CAS- to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound Of
meat for breakfast. which is an I'M
portant consideration for anyone. It
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power OF resisting fatigue. while
its use involves none of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-
