RIGHT OF ASSEMBLY
 FOR RUSSIAN PEOPLE
PROML LGATION OF PLAN CON- FIDENTLY EXPECTED
 NEXT WEEK.

Reform Second in Importance Only to
 the Convention of the Representa-
 tive AssembIy-WfH Mark a Great
 Constitutional Advance-PIan to be
 Placed Before the Czar After Final
 Review by the SolsISy Commissions
 Freedom of Press in Sight.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. 22.-3:1O a. m.- A project for granting the Russian people, under certain limitations, the right of assembly for the discussion of political and economic questions, re- form second in importance only to the convocation of the representative as- senbly, and which was elaborated by a commission under the presidency of Count Ignatieff, is now practically . completed, and after @ final review by the Solsky commission on Saturday will be immediately laid before Emper- or Nicholas. Its promulgation is con- fidently expected early next week
 Though coupled with a number of re- strictions designed to give the author tiles oversight of proceedings in order to prevent discussion of reasonable or seditious subjects, this reform will mark a great constitutional advance, the people hitherto having had no gen. eral right of assembly, except at meet ings of authorized societies. The priv ilege granted at the emperor's rescript of March 3, permitting meetings for discussion of popular representation, was a temporary measure, and was withdrawn when the national assem- bly reschript was issued.
 Under the proposed regulations or ganizers were required to give three days notice of meeting and its pur- poses4 Special sanction for a meeting is not required, and the possibility. of bureaucratic delays is thereby obviat- ed; but the government reserves the right to prohibit objectionable meetings and also the right to have a repre- sentative present to see that the dis cussione do not overstep the lini- al- lowed. This representative may de- mand the names and addresses of all the speakers, and the assembly may be closed If the assembly deviates from the announced programme, or in case of disorder,
 The second leading article of the bill of rights demanded by the reformers will make popular representation truly successful. This relates to the freedom of the press, and will probably not take the form of law at this juncture, as the government wishes to submit the mat ter to the national assembly for con- sideration. It is understood, however that an informal announcement will soon be made to the effect that the en- forcement of the press laws will be re faxed during the campaign so as to permit of ample discussion of the measures and candidates. It is also understood that after January | next representatives of the press will be ad- anitted to the sessions of the council of the empire, so that publicity may be given to the proceedings of the upper house of the assembly.

GEAR ASKS ROOSEVELT
 10 WAIVE HIS CLAIM
EMPEROR'S DESIRE TO CALL PEACE CONFERENCE 1T
 THE HAGUE.

Ambassador Rosen's Visit to Oyster
 Bay Made With Object in View Of
 Ascertaining Whether the President
 Was Willing to Give Up Ills CIaim to
 Make the Call-President Expresses
 Himself as Delighted to Do sO-Other
 Matters Discussed.
 Oyster Bay, L. L, Sept. 21. 21.-Secretary of State Elihu Root, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, and Joseph H. Choate, former American ambassador to Great Britain, who spent last night at Sagamore Hill as guests of President Roosevelt, left to- day for New York
 It is learned that the most important international question considered at the conference with the president was that relating to the second peace conference to be held at The Hague.
 The president explained to his visit ors that on September IS Ambassador aosen had visited him at Sagamore Hill to inform him of the desire of Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, to call a peace conference at The Hague which should be supplemental in its work to that held at The Hague three years ago. on the emperor's initiative. The presi-. dent last autumn took the initial step toward the calling of the second con- ference, addressing, through Secretary of State John Hay, a note to the pow- CTS. The powers, including Japan, ac- quiesoed to the proposition of the pres. i6pnf Init Nrr1,ti s4. principle, objected to holding the con ference while she was waging a war with one of the signatory powers. She indicated that at a later time perhaps. on the conclusion of peace between her self and Japan, the holding of a second conference at The Hague would be agreeable to her.
 The visit of Ambassador Rosen was made with a view not only as present. ing to the president formally the desire of Emperor Nicholas, but also with a view of ascertaining whether President Roosevelt would be quite willing to waive any claim he might have on the calling of the conference because of the steps he took last year, 50 that En- peror Nicholas himself might issue the call. The president expressed himself as delighted to yield to the wish Of the Russian emperor, and Ambassador Ro- sen already had informed the emperor informally of the presidents acquies- ! cence. A formal reply to the emperor will be sent to him by the prasid1esTIft- sIf-. t. I through Secretary Root. That reply was discussed last night, but it has not I bean mt into definite form If nrnh- ably will be forwarded soon after Sec- retary Root reaches Washington, about the first of October.
 Some other questions pertaining to the relations between this country and Venezuela and the financial condition l of San Domingo also were discussed. I No report yet has been received from I Judge W. J. Calhoun, the special conn
 missioner of the president to Venezue- la, but one is expected in a few weeks.

COLLISION ONO. E
Two Trains Come Together Head-On-
 Engine Crews Jump.

Wilmington, Sept. 21.-That two trains going in opposite directions can't pass each other on the same track was again demonstrated tonight when a regular southbound and extra north bound freigh came to a dead stop after head-on collision on the Central Yer mont railroad. The accident, it is al- legged, was due to misconstruction of orders on the part of the crew of the extra but fortunately the engineer of the regular train was able to distin- guish the headlight of the extra half mile away and slowed down so that when the crash came the regular train was hardly moving. The egnineer and firemen of both trains jumped in time to escape injury and although three cars were thrown from the tracy no one was injured.
 A wrecker was sent to the scene of the accident, which was near the West Wilmington station and the track was cleared after two hours work.

OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
STEWART GARDNER AND ALEC
 SMITH LEAD THE FIELD.

Tied for First Place After First Days
 P1ay-Three Others Tied for Second
 Place-scores of tine Other Contest
 anta--No Finer Conditions Ever vouchsafed for a National Cham
 piOnship---Course In Superb Condition.
 Hamilton, Mass, Sept. a.-With scores of 1856 each, Stewart Gardner and Alec Smith, the professionals at the neighboring Long Island clubs of Garden City and Nassau, led the field of more than three score players at the Myopia Hunt club to-day in the first of the two days play of the open golf championship of the United States.
 Arthur Smith of Columbus, Ohio, the western championship, Alec Campbell, of Brookline, and Gilbert Nichols, of Denver, were tied for second place at 15s, while Peter Robertson, of Buffalo, was in third place with 159.
 Young T.. l.. McNalnara, of Boston, finished fourth at 160, and four other players, W. Anderson, the present champion, Mr. Walter J. Travis, the former. amateur champion, Joe Lloyd, the 1897 winner and P. F. Barrett, of Boston, were all tied at 161s
 That the championship this year lies among these ten players was generally conceded tonight, with the chances na- turally favoring the six leaders. Steady play tomorrow will win honors, but mistakes will upset calculations.
 Gardner played most consistent golf to-day, making 7S both morning and astorn0on, while Smith, after brilliant T6 in the first round, fell back u so in t'>e secoEo.
 Joe Lloyd, 75, was the best of the day, although three other players made 76 during the two rounds.
 No finer conditions for golf was ever vouchsafed a national championship. The fanousMyopia course was in superb condition, the broad stretches of turf be ing of just the right texture, while the greens were wonderfully true, and grew keener as the day wore on, until at night 1t only required the slightest touCu IO HotSa out. ' UT tue IlTSu JlIne | for nearly week the sun shone bright ly, while there was just the suggestion of breeze to temper its rays. It was a typical Indian summers day. Under these conditions and with records brok- en yesterday, with an adverse course | and weather, there was considerable surprise to-day that no more than six men were able to make an average of less than 80 for each round. No inn provement Is looked for tomorrow, as the greens are likely to be much keene1 and the weather conditions are likely to be less favorable.
 The committee was just able to clear the long list of pairs for it's first round (Continued on Eighth Page.)

PROBE SINKS DEEP IN
 NEW YORK LIFE'S CASE
POINTED QUESTIONS INTO THE "JOINT ACCOUNT" TRANS

How George w. Perkins, of the New
 York Life, Sold George W. Perkins
 for J. P. Morgan & Co. SsO0,OOO Worth

 ter of Interest That is Yet Unex-
 plained-JOke on Counsel Hughes
 Perkins Says He PrOhted by syndi-
 cate Transactions.
 New York, Sept. 21.-George w. Per kins, president of the New York Life Insurance company and a member of the firm of J. P. Morgan & O., was on the witness stand before the special legislative. committee probing insurance companies methods during the greater part of to-day's session. When an ad- journment was taken he was still on the stand with number of questions pending, to reply to which he asked permission to look up the records and submit transcriptions. -..
 There was nothing of a sensational character in the testimony to-day, the Cnly development of moment being the witness disclosure in the New Orleans traction syndicate, in which the conl- pany sustained a loss of over $300,000. Edmund V. Randolph, treasurer of the company, had been questioned rather sharply regarding the transaction when he was on the stand last week. To-day the matter was brought up when Coun- sel Hughes attempted to probe the col lateral loan account. The bonds of the nnf hn been bought from the New York Secur- ity and Trust company at 85 and were subsequently sold at 75. MT. Perkins testified they were sold on December 31, 1908, to Fanshawe & Co. for $937, ,50O. Mir. Hughes found under date of Jan uary 5, 1905, a loan of that amount to Fanshawe & Co.,, and asked if the loan was made against these bonds, This, MT. Perkins said, he would have to look up, and the question was dropped for the present. g@- .q .s
 It was brought out that John R. Hegeman, president of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance company, was car rying "a running loan with the New York Life of $5O,000 at 11s per cent. in terest. Mr. Perkins did not know whether this matter came before the finance committee, and would also look that up. Witness could not explain why, afterthe New York Life had bought s4,Oo0,00O worth of bonds from J. P. Morgan .& Co, s2,oO00o0 worth should be sold back to that firm at the same price within two months, and no minutes of the finance committee could Ebe found to explain it.. :4 .
 The transaction in Navigation syndi- cate bonds of December 31, 1903, when Mir. Perkins, for, the New York Life, sold Mir, Perkins, for J. F. Morgan &s l Cc., .$S0O,000 inf,these bonds, came up again when the warrant for the check of $S6O,266 was produced. These bonds were bought back by the New York Life two days later, and the $266, MT. Perkins testified, was for the adjust ment of interest. Mir. Perkins would not acknowledge the transaction was a | loan.
 The total dealings of the company with the Morgan firm amounted to $39,- 2S6,075 with a profit of $784,76S.19. The manner of the cornpanys income was |

Accused of Assault With Intent to XII
 Companion.

Companion.
 Plymouth. Mass. Sept. 21. - Eben Plympton, the actor, was arrested to- day at his summer home at Silver Lake, twelve miles from here, by Sheriff Call linghood and lodged in Plymouth jail tonight on charge of committing an assault with intent to kill, upon George Martin, who has been his companion at Silver Lake for a number of years.
 Martin is in a Boston hospital and his condition is said to be critical. ~
 The alleged assulat occurred last Thursday night or Friday morning, it is said, but no legal action was taken until to-day when District Attorney A. F.. French ordered Plympton's arrest. The men were alone, and as Martin is in no condition to give his story of the quarrel and Plympton will not talk, the authorities have not learned the details of the affair. Martin is suffering from numerous injuries about the head, which are said to have been inflicted by some kind of heavy weapon.

He denied the state- ment made by President Mccall, of the New York Life, before the legislative insurance Investigating committee on Wednesday, that the democratic na- tional committee had solicited money for the campaign fund from that com cern.
 t.No member of the national commit tee, or any agent of the committee, ever asked MT. Mccall or the New York Life for a dollar, he said.
 MT. Taggart added: Neither the democratic national committee nor any other authorized representative of the committee ever asked a dollars con- tribution to the campaign fund from any other insurance company.
