in STATE OF SIEGE.
All Poland Is Now Under Martial
Law.

Warsaw, March 1.-2:5O p. m.-The
governor general of Poland today pro-
claimed a partial state of siege of gov
ernments of Kalisz, Lublin, Kielce and
Lomza. AS a similar condition prevails
in the remaining six provisional gov
ernments all Poland is now governed
under a modified form of martial law.
The proclamation does not give specific
reasons for the action taken but it is
due to the general unsatisfactory con-
dition of the country. The strike on the
Vistula railway is ended. Train ser
vice both north and south of Warsaw
has been resumed. The strikers obtain
ed higher wages and other concessions.
The strikes on the suburban railroads
have also ended and all Warsaw rail-
road communications are now restored.

ROOSEVELT, THIEF CATCHER

Incident Of the President's Life on
Western Ranch.
Did you ever hear the story Of how
President Roosevelt when he was run
ming the ranch on the Little Missouri
and was just plain Teddy captured two
horse thieves?" recently asked ]. B.
Thompson Of Faribault, Mimi, of a
group Of friends at the Hotel Mckay
In Duluth, Mimi, says dispatch from
at the time of the incident and can
vouch for the truth of the story.
Zone day couple of cowboys rode
up to the banks Of the river from the
side on which the Roosevelt ranch is
situated. They removed the saddles
and blankets from their horses and
dumped the stuff into a boat moored
on the shore, turning their animals
loose. The men were observed, and as
the boat belonged to Mr.. Roosevelt he
was notified. The men in the boat in
stead of rowing across the river, as it
was at first supposed they would, cool
~ began rowing downstream to some
destination unknown. 1t was plain
that they were stealing the boat.
'Mr. Roosevelt mounted a horse as
soon as he heard Of the theft Of his
boat and started in pursuit down the
bank Of the river. The Little Missouri
Is rather crooked, but Mr.. Roosevelt
came up with them at last and ordered
them to bring the boat to the shore
The men in the boat gave him the
laugh, but Mr.. Roosevelt. presenting a
revolver Of the very effective type in
vogue in that country at that time,
again ordered them to bring the boat
to the shore. Both of the cowboys
were armed, but they complied with
the order.
"Mr. Roosevelt kept the men covered
while they approached the bank and
then ordered them, one at time, to
discard their weapons. Mr.. Roosevelt
then turned his horse loose to find its
way back to the ranch and, getting in
to the boat, made the men row him
back to the place where they had stol-
en- the craft. He then escorted his pris
oners to the railroad station at Medora
and took them to Dickinson to stand,
trial.
Later it developed that the two men
were horse thieves, and they were tried
and convicted and did time for that
crime 1 forgot whether the charge of
stealing the boat was pressed, but
presume not, for horse stealing was the
more serious charge. Horse thieves in
that country got very little considera-
ton in those days, and the horse thief
that got off with term in prison was
lucky"

MEN GUARD cLERGYMAN's LIFE

SADIE Starts Bitter Warfare

CONDERSPORT. Pa, March .
Armed men stand guard each night.
outside the parsonage of the Hdack
Creek Methodist Episcopal church. hIxr
across the border in New York stssss
from this city, to defeat the plans or a,
gang of desperate gamblers and tsz,yvs
intent on burning the house and do
ing violence to Rev. L. d. Cook, pastor
OF the church, and mis- family.
Brutal efforts have been made Tor
SIX months to drive the pastor out or
the community. The parsonage was
burned down in August, when RE.
Cook and his family were away on a.
vacation, and letters have been w.
ceived by him threatening the new
house with destruction. Mr. Cook nas
made a statement that he will ren,afcz,
with the congregation, and now car
ries revolver at all hours for self
protection
The fight against him is the resuTt
of crusade against gambling, the SELL
ing of liquor on Sundays and general
Sunday breaking. He has been given
thirty days to leave the parish or else
suffer the loss of the parsonage, ana
perhaps die a violent death
At revival meeting in the church
last night score of rowdies created
disorder outside the building. Mr..
Cook went out and was knocked IN
conscious with stone which struck
him in the stomach. Another stone
down an old woman unconscious i'm a.
pew. The men in the church then
poured out and gave spirited chase ter
the gang, but without result. One OF
the anonymous letters sent to the pas
tor reads:
I'VE have burned your house once
and can do it again. We give your
thirty days to leave this place, and IL
you do not your life will be the pen
atty"
Another reads:
You have watched and we have
watched. and if you have made any
thing out of it you are welcome. Be
ware!"
Four members of the church-Wff-
liam Torkington, F. A. Hicks, v. j..
McElreney and j. f. Davis-have been
threatened in letters because of their
activity in seeking the arrest of the
thugs. The congregation is in ter
ror, but has decided to support the
pastor unfiinchingly in the crisis. IL
is proposed to employ half dozen
detectives to break up the gang. So,
far the local police have been unable
to attach guilt to any one, and it is
feared murder will be done if the thugs;
are not brought to justice.

HIS POLICY ROUNDLY SCORED
Ire of American Settlers Raised by Sep
arate School Provision.

WINNIPEG, Man, March 9.-The.
Baptist convention of Manitoba and
the Northwest Territories has formu-
lated a strong protest against the gov
ernment's proposed educational clause
in the autonomy bills. The protest was
telegra phed Sir Wiifrid Laurier last
night and is as follows:
Having learned through the press
that the autonomy bill proposes to
enact a separate school clause, we
desire to enter most emphatic pro-
test for the following reasons: 1t is
an invasion of provincial rights; in
matters of education, every province
should be free to legislate for itself
1t is a violation of principles con-
scientiously entertained by the Bap-
lists, principles of equal rights and the
principle of separation of the church
and state.
ut is scheme which will provoke
discord and defeat one of the great
purposes of public school education.
which is unification. A confederation
cannot be sound in which elements lack
the first essentials of harmony.
Grand Black chapter, an Orange or
ganization, is in session here. Rev E.
J. Hopper, grand master, in the course
IF on address said
IAN attempt is being made to I'M
pose on the new provinces a system or
separate schools for all time. We can
not see the spirit of patience or patri-
otism exercised in not allowing the
provinces concerned to settle SUCH a
question under the Dominion pasic law
which leaves matters of education 10
the provinces. The people do not want
separate schools. Why impose tneno

JAPANESE NEW YEAR POEMS

Every New Year the emperor and
empress Of Japan celebrate the day
with an original poem. This year we
print the poems which recently ap-
peared in the Kokunin Shimbun and
are translated by Mr.. Lloyd, one of our
valued Japanese correspondents Mr..
Lloyd writes that he takes the emper-
or's poem to be another way Of saying
that God is our help in ages past and
our hope for years to come and the
empress poem to express her gratitude
for the many tokens Of practical SYM
pathy which she has been able to see
around her:
By HIS MAJESTY MUTSUHITO, EMPEROR OF
JAPAN.
The gods that rule our land from ancient
years
VIII take the ancient presidents to shape
The course Of our new age.
By BIER MAJESTY HARUKo, EMPRESS OF
JAPAN.
Throughout the land one voice sounds
loud and clear
As from one soul, possessed by one deep
thought
To bear the suffering peoples heavy load

TO MAKE JAPANESE TALLER
Commission Proposes That Children

Commission Proposes That Children
Shall Not Sit ON Their Heels.
The japanese government has been
greatly exercised in its mind over the
low stature of the soldiers, and it ap-
pointed a commission to study the
causes Of this lack of height and to
suggest a remedy, says the London
Globe The commission has published
it's report, and it ascribeS the shortness
Of the Japanese to the habit of sitting
on the heels instead Of on chair. This
attitude, 1t holds, had prevented the
legs of the Japanese from growing,
and it suggests that the children
should for the future be made to sit in
the European fashion. This Is matter
In which the query, "Why can't you
leave it aloneY" applies with much
force.
The legs of the japanese may be
short, but they are uncommonly sturdy
and are capable Of great feats in
marching. Moreover, it should be re-
membered that a short soldier hears
many bullets whistle harmlessly over
head which would kill taller man. In
these days Of magazine rifles there Is
little advantage in height, 80 it is just
as well for Japan that it will certainly
take many generations Of sitting on
chairs to make the japanese tall race.

ed playing cards, all those slightly soil
ed which have only been once or twice
In use, are collected from hotels, clubs
and q hundred other establishments
In Germany, Austria, Hungary and
Switzerland and are cleaned and made
as fresh as new. They are carefully
rubbed with benzine on both sides and
then, after drying, placed in presses
where they are rendered perfectly fat
again. They are then sprinkled over
with powdered white lead and placed
In a warm press, where they receive
the finish and shine lost In the fingers
Of the players. They then find their
way into another press, where the
edges are carefully cut. Before being
put on the market they undergo, each
card separately. careful revision to
see that they are all "as good as new.
