FRIDAY EVENING. SEP. %. 1905.

Mr.. JOHN A. MCCALL says that his
life was made weary last year by the
solicitation OF money by democrats, but
Judge Parker denies that any one au-
thorized to represent him tried to get any
money out of life insurance company.
He is supported by William F. Shee-
han, who denies that any person acting
for the committee sought money from
Mr.. Mccall, and Chairman Taggart, OF
the democratic national committee, denies
the statement that his committee had So
licited money for the campaign fund
from that concern. "NO member OF the
national committee or any agent OF the
committee ever asked Mr.. Mccall, of the
New York Life, for a dollar" he says.
'rNeither the democratic national COM
mittee nor any authorized representative
of the committee ever asked dollars
contribution to the campaign fund
from any other insurance company. !"
The statements of Judge Parker and Mr.,
SheeGan and Mr.. Taggart clear the demo-
cratic national committee of any culpa-
bilitv. But the republican committee
sought money from the life insurance
companies and got it. The republican
administration was holding the lash over
a number of corporations. The ex-Sec'
rotary of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor was running the campaign.
The Commissioner of the Bureau of Cor
porations was preparing learned argu-
ment to show that the insurance COM
panies should be relieved from State
regulation and be controlled from Wash
ington." 1t is not singular says the Phil
adelphia Record, chat these facts have
caused commotion ct Oyster Bay and
that the President has been In conference
with Mr.. Root and Mr.. COrtelyou and
Mr.. Choate. Mr.. McCalPs life is not
the only weary one"

Mr.. II. r.. Lee, ir,

Colonel Robert NJ. Lee, jr., is eau
didate for the Speakership of the House
of Delegates, and has very encouraging
prospects of success. The colonel is a
Petersburger in a sense, if not in the
whole sense. We are not certain that
he was born here, but here his early boy
hood was passed. His mother was born
in this city, and here she was married,
and his maternal ancestors for many
generations sleep in and near this old
city. He will have the support and best
wishes of the people of Petersburg for his
success. : Petersburg Appeal.

so expensive owing to the high price of
meat and other articles that their wages
are insufficient and they demand 81 a
week for the lowest of unskilled LABOR,
an increase of 10 per cent. The COM
panies claim that it is impossible to grant
this demand because the working day
already had been reduced from 10 to 8
hours and because the prices of electrical
goods are still too low to permit OF more
than an increase Of 5 per cent. in wages.
The electrical companies of Berlin en-
ploy at least 1000 men.

ASSERTIONS that Mr.. John d. Rookie
Teller now holds no securities outside his
Standard Oil certificates are ridiculed by
interests familiar with his affairs. The
valuation of the securities held by Mr.
Rockefeller is larger than those possessed
by any other in dividual in the world
His income from the Standard Oil ha;
exceeded 500, 900, 600 within the last
eight years, and his income from other
corporations has been equally large. He
invests his income almost as rapidly as
he receives it. An idea of the wealth
controlled by Standard Oil interests is
shown in the fact that the company is
represented on the boards of more than
l25 corporations. 1t is estimated that
Rockefellefs income for the last ten
years exceeds the net deposits of the
National City Bank, which are
$40, 600, 600.

Russian Aims,

St. Petersburg, Sept, 22.-AlthOugh
Russia's imperial policy and plans for
conquest have been baked, so far as ope-
ratious in the East IRE concerned, by the
japanese, her desire to extend her field
of influence is just as strong as it WIS
when il led her into the unfortunate war
which has just been concluded. From
present indications, she has merely trans
ferred her field Of operations and her
ambitions are believed now to lead to-
ward Persia. instead Of Manchuria.
That she does not intend to lose any time
in strengthing her influence in the new
direction is evidenced by the activity
being displayed in seeking concessions in
Persia. Negotiations are already ap-
preaching conclusion for the construction
of Russian railways through northern
Persia Railroad building is regarded
as the first step by which Russia plans to
firmly establish herself in the new field
and it is probable that she will have
made great Roadway in this direction even
before her armies are withdrawn from
Manchuria. The company Of Russian
engineers which will make the first sur
vey for the contemplated roads has al
ready been selected, and it is expected
that parties will soon be sent out to begin
the preliminary work looking to the con-
structiou of the lines.

there between Professor Ono, a profess
siOnal japanese Jiu Jitsu wrestler (some
time employed at the Naval Academy,

As STATED in the Gazette of that day
four officials of meat packing company
of Chicago, were fined an aggregate Of
S25, 600 by Judge Humphrey, In the
United States District Court in that city,
Yesterday. The fines followed plea OF
guilty to indictments charging con-
sp;racy to accept railroad rebates. u.
S. Attorney General W. H. Moody, it
is said, agreed to the entry of a plea OF
guilty with the understanding that the
Jail provision of the law under which
the indictment was returned should be
waived and merely fine imposed. The
imposition of a fine of $25, 900 was vir-
tually no penalty at all, as the meat
trust has the power to recoup at will.
A Jail sentence, however, for the viola
tors of the law would have had whole
some effect. As says the Philadelphia
North American, $25, 900 fine for the
beef trust is in the same class of cruel
punishment as would be the inhiction Of
a pin prick on a hippopotamus.

York Yesterday. The case was that OF
the Venezuelan government against the
New York and Bermudez Company, a
trust subsidiary, to recover Sll 900, OOo
damages because of the trusts alleged
participancy in the revolution. The
original suit is pending in the highest
court of Venezuela, but testimony is be-
ing taken here under an order creating
a commission. The first witness was l..
A. Kuhn, who swore that at the time
of the revolution of General Matos be
was in the employ of the New York and
Bermudez Company at Guanaco, Vene'
zuela, and that, acting under the in
structions of Major Rafferty,, one ct his
superiors, he rendered all the assistance
possible to the revolutionists. And this Is

Riot Among School Children.

Fifty children attending the Shakes

engaged in fierce race riot yesterday
afternoon which resulted in ten of the
pupils being injured and a riot call being
turned in. 1t was not until squad Of
policemen had arrived that the children
were Quilted and the disturbance stopped.
There has been trouble in the school
since the opening on account of the num-
Der of negro children who are enrolled
as pupils. In several of the rooms the
white children objected to being seated
next to the negroes, and several of them
left the school because the teachers re-
fused to make any distinction. Several
fights have taken place since the opening.
OF the school. Yesterday afternoon when
the children we're sent out OF the build
ing for recess they had scarcely reached
the grounds when the fight was started.
1t is evident that it had been carefully
planned, for an attack was made on every
negro child as he emerged from the
building by the white boys. In all if
teen negro boys were beaten. Some of
their injuries were of such a serious ma
ture that they had to be taken to their
homes. No arrests were made, the police
sending the white boys back in the,
schoolroom.
