ST. PETERSBURG, March 30.-Peace

EXPULSION OF SYRIANS
MAY LEAD TO RIOTTNG

PORT Az PRINCE, Hayti, March
30.-Soine scenes of disorder this
morning, provoked by Haytian SOL
diers, occurred in the market streets,
but were quickly suppressed by the
police.
The Government has decided to
maintain order and has taken great
precautions. All the troops are con,
fined to their barracks and it is be-
ieved that, in spite of the excitement
among the people against the Syrians.
rioting will be avoided.
All the Syrians have closed their
stores and those who are American
or French citizens or British subjects
have hoisted the flags of their re-
spective nationalities over their resi-
dences and stores.
The news that an American war
ship had been ordered to this port has
produced a good impression among
the members of the foreign colony.

Major Carrington's case is blocking

Special Dispatch to The Can

CHICAGO, March 30.-The real own
ership of the White River Valley Rail-
road, recently incorporated at Pierre,
S. D., for s50,ooo,0oO, was revealed to-
day when the Chicago. Milwaukee and
st. Paul Company announced that it
would extend its line about seventy
miles beyond Chamberlin, S. D.
The White River Valley Railroad
Company is now constructing a road
which the St Paul admits is to be an
extension of that system. To build a
line of seventy miles would not cost
more than $500 Therefore it is evil
dent that despite official denials the
White River Valley Railway Company
was capitalized for $50. 100000 for the
purpose of extending the st. Paul sys-
TEN to the Pacific Coast.
The reason for official denials that
the st. Paul Company is back of the
White River Valley Company may be
that part of the route projected to the
Pacific Coast crosses the Rosebud In
dian Reservation and a permit has not
been obtained from the Government to
lay tracks there and to build a bridge
over the Missouri River.
While it is said that the ST. Paul
system plans an extension of only sew
enty miles westward of Chamberlin. S.
D., it practically is certain that the
work of extension will be pushed un-
Til the Pacific Coast is reached 1t has
been asserted that for several years
the St. Paul has been procuring valu-
able tracts of land at Portland for ter
minals
Eventually it -robably will be found
that Hartman and the Standard Oil
interests have acquired control of the
ST. Paul system, after realizing that
]. j. Hill will control the Great. North
ern and Northern Pacific Railroads
when the Northern Securities tangle is
Strengthened out.

for it's attack on the Police Commission
for failure to suppress gambling in
Chinatown gave that body the oppor-

Whitman might be ousted and the Of

Commissioner O'Grady is warm
friend of Maestretti and undoubtedly
would have stood pat on the chiefship.
Commissioner Poheim, it is known,
would also have preferred the Public

put out of the running, the field was

AS to the personality of the new Po-
lice Commissioner, it may be said that
he is affable and competent for the
place. He came most prominently into
public notice when he recently defend
ed Adolph Steffens, one of the two
men convicted of ballot box stuffing.
He is graduate of Santa Clara Col
lege and completed the course of the
Hastings Law School eleven years ago,
and since that time he has practiced his
profession in this city
At one time the Mayor was ION the
point of appointing his brother. Herbert

Schmitz came to the conclusion, how
ever, that he did not care to brave un-

O'Grady had the very strong support OF
Abe Ruef and had been active in the
last campaign for Schmitz in speech
making.
The Mayor will hand O'Grady his
commission to-day, so he will take his
seat at to-night's meeting of the Police
Board.
O'Grady's appointment as Police
Commissioner is part of a programme
to which publicity was given by The
Call month ago. Herbert Schmitz is
now at liberty to take his old place as
secretary of the Park Commission and
