Russians More Cast Down Over That Than
Anything Else.
st. Petersburg, June 3.-Feeling in
the admiralty against Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff continues to run high, the
majority of the naval authorities being
deaf to the appeals of the few who in
sist that the admirals action in sur
rendering his warships should not be
condemned until the circumstances be-
come fully known. The majority say
they could forgive everything but sur
render, it being Il tradition that Rus
sian naval commander lever surren-
dcrs. When the Russian warship RAJ
phael, in 1929, struck its colors to three
Turkish ships Which surrounded it
Nicholas meted out terrible punish
ment to the officers and crew ordering
that all of them should be shot after
their exchange.
London, June 3.-The Toxic CORE
spondent of The Daily Telegraph says
it is stated that when Rear Admiral
Nebogatoif surrendered the Russians
holsIed red flags on their topmasts
with Russian flags below them. The
crews We're drawn up in parade order
on the decks, and some of the sailors
We're waving white flags
There is a story that the reason Nebo-
satotf surrendered was that his crew
was in mutiny because with 800 dead
| and wounded on his hands he threw
overheard $40 Of themortally wounded
There is also another story that his
ships We're scarcely SCARED, aud some
people ask whence the 300 dead and
wounded then?

Berlin, June J.-Duches Cecilia of
Mecklenhurg-Schw who is to be-
come the bride of Crown Prince Fred
erick William tomorrow, made a tri-
uniphal entry into Berlin. She was
welcomed by hundreds of thousands
ms she drove through the streets. the
crowds continually shouting ''Hochw
Tie people who some day will greet
her as empress threw roses in her
way, school children sang welcoming
songs. cannon doomed salutes and
troops guarded her from the Branden-
burg gate to the palace
All during her drive in the magniii-
cent bridal coach the 1S-year-old girl
was smiling and the crowds inferred
from the happiness of her expression
that the engagement was II love match

following tradition. led his company Of
footgnards over the route of the pro-

Lawson Charges Fraud.

The "frenzied" fnanciers have ac-
cused Mr.. Lawson Of making threats
without carrying them out, but they
will have to admit that his article
in the June number Of Everybody's
Magazine is specific enough. He
charges Rogers, Stillman and Rookie
Teller (William)' with a deliberate
fraud Of gigantic proportions. He
not only charges the fraud but he
gives names, dates and details. He
declares that they endorsed his pros
pectus and paid for its publication;
that they agreed to protect the stock
from a decline and that they in VIC
lation of good faith, put in a bid of
their own after the other bids were
opened.
Now what have Rogers, Stillman
and Rockefeller to say to this? Will
they admit that they were engaged
in swindling operation involving
millions? Will they deny it and
sue Lawson for libel?
The National City bank Of New
York City is the largest bank in the
United States, and James Stillman
is its president. The bank dis
charged one Of its vice presidents a
few weeks ago when the Munroe &
Munroe investigation showed that
he was in a syndicate organized to
boom certain stock by wash sales. "
Will the bank discharge its presi-
dent now that he has been exposed?
MIR. Rogers is the moving spirit
in Standard Oil; will his participa-
ton in the "crime Of the Amalga-
mated" excite the wrath of John d.:
Or will the senior Rockefeller regard
it merely as proof Of Rogers fitness
for the position he now holds? Law.
son has made good" What a sorry
spectacle our great fnanciers pre-
sent! Scarcely one of them Of
prominence but what has been
shown to be connected with some
dishonest scheme. These are the
men who talked SO loudly about
national honor" in 1896; these are
the men who talked SO loudly about
national honor" in 1896; these arc
the men who think that they have a
vested right to control the federal
treasury and dictate the financial
policy of the government; these are
the men who stand behind the
trusts and the railroads today and
resent any attempt on the part OF
the public to protect the people.
The shipbuilding trust investiga.
ton, the Munroe & Munroe investi-
cation, the Equitable scandal, the
railroad rate controversy, the Bige-
low failure, the Tarbell articles on
the Standard Oil, the Russell arti-
cles on the beef trust, the Stelfens
articles on municipal corruption and
Lawson's articles on frenzied finance
what side lights they throw on
plutocracy! They all contribute to
the education Of the people and pre-
pare the way for the triumph Of
Jeffersonian democracy.-The Com

The debate few evenings ago,
on the burlington Block question,
by the City Council at Cedar Rapids
was little short Of sensational.
SOME STARTLING STATEMENTS.
Alderman johnson said that the
present city specifications regarding
the paving brick are shaped so as to
admit only the Purington brick. He
further stated that the burlington
people openly say that they have
just one man in this city to whom
they will sell brick; if anyone else
buys brick he must pay much
higher price. Furthermore, they
will ship their brick to Cedar Rap
ids over only one railroad so that
the monopoly as to price and freight
rates is complete. This is laying
the monopoly into one mans hands
and we have been suffering from it, !"
said Alderman johnson.
ALDERMAN's CUsHMAN's REMARKS,
II desire to record my emphatic
objections" said Alderman Cush-
man, ito the manner in which the
recent tests Of block were made
when the last paving contract was
let. Instead Of allowing the manu-
facturers to make samples Of brick
or pick them out at their factories
or send them to be inspected, /
would pick out the brick from a
street where they have been in actual
use and then make the tests. In the
city of Washington, Iowa, the Pur-
ington brick and the Oskaloosa brick
have been used side by side and
have been in use for the last fifteen
years. They are both good PAYERS
and the people have been just as
well satisfied with one of them as
they have with the other. Under our
iron-clad and unfair specifications
there is no question but that other
towns havebeen able to get repressed
burlington block a good deal cheap
er than we have been able to get
them. We need competition"
ALDERMAN CHERRY AND LIGnTNER
Similar speeches were made by
Alderman Cherry and Lightner,
both Of whom urged the necessity
of greater competition in brick paw
ing matters. 1t is rumored that the
controversy over the paving con-
tract has been an "eye-opener" to
some Of the aldermen and there is
likely to be good deal more said
about it in the future.
Alderman johnson made the point
that the specifications should be so
changed as to admit bids from other
Iowa brick makers, as well as the
Oskaloosa firm, and this was the
form in which the motion was finally
passed. Everybody voted for it
except Alderman Powers, who voted
no.

Commander of Russian cruiser division

when they arrived there We're 143
wounded. most if not all of whom are
now i'll Uncle SANS hospitals at Ma
Mia. Admiral Enquist reported TO
Rear Admiral Train, U. s. N, that his
ships were crippled and without coal
or provisions and unable to proceed.
Admiral Train and his squadron ac-
companied the Russian vessels to
Manila.
Rear Admiral Train appointed
board to Investigate the condition of
the ships, and an Associated Press dis
patch from Manila says that the board
has reported that to put the ships in
condition to go to sea the Oleg will re-
Quire sixty days. the Aurora thirty
days and the Jemtchug seven days
The United States will live right up to
the requirements of neutrality, and
what will be done will be decided upon
soon. The probability is that tie ships
will be intcrned at Manila for the re-
mainder of the war, as even after re-
pairs the Journey outside of Manila
harbor would be of eXtra-hazardous
character for Russian warships under
present conditions.
Another dispatch fro.l Nlanila says
that Rear Admiral Enquist accom-
panied by Rear Admiral Train and the
French consul, formally called on Gov
ernor General Wright. After the usual

quest time to make REPAIRS
Governor Wright then said that ac-
cording TO his construction of the ncu-
trality laws the Russian vessels could
remain long enough to make necessary
repairs, and after these We're finished
they must leave within twenty-four
hours or dismantle and inferno.
Martha Goro. the Japanese consul,

dence, and rendered him profound

Prince POteaten is among the wound
ed Russians in the hospital. Rear Ad-
miral Enquist states that the greatest
damage done TO his ships was when
the Japanese were firing at five-mile
range.
Washington, June 5.-Sccrctary Taft
cabled Governor Wright. at Manila, to
inform Admiral Enquist that in strict
pursuance of the international policy
adopted by this government he will be
allowed to intern his ships, the Aurora,
Olcg and Jemtcllug at Manila. In case
he does not adopt this course his only
alternative, after the period allowed
by international law has expired, will
he TO put TO sea. 1t is fully expected
here that Admiral Enqulst will decide
