CAR REMAINED
IN RETIREMENT
ENTIRE COURT ABSENT FROM
ANNUAL PARADE
Nicholas Had Always Previously At.
tended the Ceremony, but This
Year Danger Was consld-
cred Too Great
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-The am
nual parade of the Horse guards, all
ways heretofore one of the most spec
tacular military ceremonies as we'll as
social functions Of the year, was chiefly
notable today for the absence of EN-
peror Nicholas and the imperial family.
The Horse guards is the emperor's own
regiment and never before has he failed
to attend its annual parade. With the
empress, dowager empress and the en-
tire court the emperor remained at
Tsarskoe- Selo. The only grand dukes
who ventured out of their palaces were
Nicholas, Boris and Alexander Michael
witch, the first named representing the
emperor. Even Grand Duke Vladimir,
commander of the military district, was
not present, the explanation being that
he was detained at the palace on ac-
count of sickness.
The danger to the imperial family was
regarded as especially great today, as
1t happened that this was the festival
of the Immaculate Conception, one of
the strictest religious holidays. All
business was suspended. The entire
population was in the streets and the
fear of an untoward incident in view
of the activity of the terrorists induced
extraordinary precautions.
Soldiers Families Suffering
The stories of sufferings on the part
of the widows, wives and families of
soldiers are attracting general attention
and the public demands government aid
for the sufferers. The local charities
are no longer able to cope with the
situation. In many places the funds
raised for this purpose are entirely ex-
hausted and the provincial papers are
filled with pathetic accounts of starv-
ing mothers and children begging in the
streets.
At Nizshni Novgorod the palace of
the governor was besieged by a crowd
of hungry women with babes in their
informed the women that he would ap-
point a commission to investigate the
situation. His reply aroused the ire OF
the local press. The Viedomosti says:
always the eternal commission! While
1t is investigating the women and chill
dren will starve."
death to the Car"
The workmen of the village of Smo-
lensk made a demonstration today, the
occasion being the burial of an employe
of the PAIL factory who was killed by
policemen few days ago. Six thou
sand persons assembled early in the
morning in a heavy snowstorm and
awaited the funeral procession. There
were red flags everywhere and a wreath
deposited by Socialists on the coffin
was inscribed Died an Innocent Vic
tim in the Struggle for Liberty"
After the interment revolutionary
proclamations were scattered among
the people and procession was formed,
headed by Socialist carrying a banner
inscribed Death to the Car, the AS.
AT this juncture a large force of mill.
tary and police interfered, dispersed
the mob and seized the wreaths and
banners. The workmen did not attempt
serious opposition and no one WIS
seriously injured.

EXPLOSION RUINS
STORAGE PLANT
Continued from Page one)

caught fire and six engines worked
through the morning getting the blaze
under control.
AS in the case of the Cudahy pack
ing house fire, the firemen met with a
great obstacle in keeping the flames
under control in the storage building.
A wall eighteen inches thick surrounded
the building and the firemen were COM
PEELED to spend some time drilling holes
through this obstruction.
When the pipes were finally forced
into the storage building fifty drums of
ammonia were overturned and the fumes
became so penetrating that the firemen
were compelled at times to leave the
place. The warm water melted and
destroyed 1900 tons of ice, worth in
itself a small fortune.
The upper floor of the plant contained
the smaller storage rooms, ammonia
tanks, hundreds of feet of pipe, small
engines, boilers, heaters and condensers.
These were torn to pieces.
Plant Total Loss
E. Bowhay, chief engineer of the
plant, was present at the time of the
explosion and in company with City
Boiler Inspector Holloway made d
thorough examination of the boilers.
They were found to be in perfect order
and unimpaired by the explosion.
"Our loss is almost total" said Divi-
sion superintendent R. G. Bussenius yes
terday, but we are covered by insur-
ance. l cannot say yet as to how
much damage has been done to the
building. but Manager Toby of San
Francisco will arrive tomorrow and a
thorough investigation will be made.
THE explosion was the fault of no
one. 1t was simply one of those acci-
dents which frequently happen through
escaping gas.
"One of our chief damages which VIII
not be covered by insurance is to the
trade. This is the middle of the orange
storage season and the terrible setback
at this time will probably cost us $780,
900 worth of business"
After a brief examination yesterday
morning Chief Lipps of the fire depart
ment stated that $4,000 ought to cover
the damage to the plant. The chief
was complimented by officers of the
firm upon the skillful manner in which
the flames were put under control and
prevented from spreading to adjoining
buildings.

The sensational charges which have

WELL the Long Beach soothsayer by
DR.. Charles Franklin Stewart, the Chi
cago dentist and son of the late Mrs.
Susan Stewart. are now being investi-
gated by the district attorney, and de-

ported to be executed August 10 and
bequeathing all her property, amount
ing to about $4,000, to Andrew Caswell.
DR.. Stewart has come from Chicago
to contest the will and has employed
Dillon & Mott to represent his inter-
ests. He contends that Caswell in
fluenced his mother with lying state
ments, so that she left all her prop
erty to him. 1t is also alleged that
Caswell is guilty of forging checks and
letters, etc.

Policy

CHICAGO. April 7-"Great business
methods, publicity and absolutely no

to which President Roosevelt has seen
At to appoint me chairman.
This is the declaration of T. 2.
Shonts, President Roosevelt's 100000
man." who arrived in Chicago from
New York today on his first visit here
since his appointment. Mr.. Shonts will
remain in Chicago but two days. He
goes Immediately to New York and
thence to washington to take up the
active details Of the canal commission.
THE people of the United States are
the stockholders of this Panama canal,
the most gigantic undertaking they
have ever been interested in," said Mr..
Shonts, land for the next four years
they have selected President Roose-
velt to vote their stock for them.
Therefore, our policy will be to work
precisely as we have worked on the
building and operating of great rail-
road lines. There will be monthly re-
ports made of progress, of the amount
Of funds expended, and the outlook for
the work, just as railroads report to
their stockholders. These reports will
be filed regularly in Washington, so
that every congressman, every official
of the government and the public itself
will be fully, reliably and frequently
informed as to what is being done with
their funds in Panama.
I'VE are all pitching in with our
coats off, and there will be no time
lost now or in the future. We have
undertaken the task for the American
people, we recognize the great RESPONSE
bility resting on us, and we are going
out to make good in way that will
not only please President Roosevelt
and justify his confidence in u.s. but
will also bring us the approval of all
the people of the nation, the stockhold-
ers in the canal enterprise"

DARING ATTEMPT TO
WRECK LARGE PRESS
Harry J.Galbraith Charged With Plug
eing Press of the Los Angeles
Examiner With Brass Wedqe

An attempt was made Thursday
night to wreck the presses of the Log
Angeles Examiner A warrant has
been issued charging Harry Galbraitb
former employe of the paper, but
who was discharged for drunkenness
some time ago and who at that time
vowed vengeance.
1t is alleged that Galbraith entered
the press room early in the evening.
when none of the pressmen was on
duty, and placed between the rolls a
brass wedge. On emerging from the
press room he told an electrician
named Boyd, the latter claimed, that
he had fixed the press so that there
would be no paper in the morning.
Boyd reported the incident and on the
arrival of the pressmen search was
made which disclosed the wedge.
Galbraith has been under arrest in
Los Angeles before and the police
know him, but are unable to find him
at the present time and believe that
he has left town. He formerly lived
at S22 South Broadway but has not
been at home since the press was
plugged.
Experts say that had the press been
started with the brass between the
rollers not only would the press have
been wrecked but probably the flying
steel would have killed the pressmen
who were at work.

GRAND JURY MAY
VERY SOON ACT

CHICAGO, April 7.-Members of the
federal grand jury which is investlgat-
ing the beef trust were placed in pos
session of "inside information" today
by Myron C. Baker, auditor for the
Boston Elevated railroad and for two
years private secretary to Edward C..
Swift, vice president of Swift & Co.
Mr.. Baker was on the stand for nearly
two hours and is said to have fur
nished great deal of information con-
cerning the inner workings of the big
meat packing firms. In answer to ques-
tions after leaving the jury room, Mr..
Baker declared he had told the trut n
and that, from the action of the jurors,
it was apparent to him that they had
already decided on what action would
be taken against the packers. 1t was
persistently rumored about the federal
Offices, where the jury is sitting, that
preparations are being made to return
indictments within a short time, but
whether the indictments will charge
violation of the antitrust laws, per-
jury or interference with Witnesses
could not be ascertained.
II believe that the jurors have made
up their minds in this matter" said Mr..
Baker. "rhey seem TO understand the
situation and we got along well to-
gether was not asked II any one had
approached me or anything along that
line, so 1 suppose they know what 1
have been doing since 1 came to Chi

Baker was asked.

tensiVe Land Owner
BY Associated Press.
FORT YATES, N. D., April I'm a
great council called by Major Nc
I,aughlin the Indians Of this reserva-
tion decided almost unanimously that
they were ready to have their lands
allotted. Each head Of a family will
have $40 acres and all over eighteen
years of age 800 acres. In addition
they will get a span of good American
mares, two COWS, a wagon and harness,
plow, a harrow some other tools
and $50 in cash. Those under eighteen
will get 16O acres.
After the allotments have been made
there will be a big surplus of land. The
Indians are bitterly opposed to selling
this and 1t is doubtful If It will ever
be sold with their consent.
Each head of a family will be worth
$1,000. in addition to his $40 acres, when
Uncle Sam relinquishes his guardian
ship and turns these Indians over to
the states of North and South Dakota,
as full fedged citizens.
Between 1000 and 1900 voters will be
equally divided between the two states.
The question of leasing their lands
was also placed before the Indians by
Major Mclaughlin, but they decided
against it.

RUMORED PLOT
EXC|TES PARIS
ARMS AND UNIFORMS SEIZED
IN SUBURB
Police Uncertain Whether They Were
for Filibusters or For Seditious
Movement Against the
Government
By Associated Press.


PARIS, April THE Investigations of
the secret police have not yet deter
mined whether the arms and uniforms
recently seized in the suburbs of Paris
were intended for chimerical African
expedition or a seditious movement
against the government. Statements
made by Deputy Rabier tend to show
the existence OF a plot.
M. Rabier recently received letters
warning him that a number of deter
mined men were planning a surprise
movement. He at first dismissed the
letters, but he recently decided to sub
NIT them to the minister of the in
terror, who turned them over to the
police. One of the letters says a prom
inent general was at the head of the
movement, which included a number of
deputies and one former cabinet min
lister. According to this letter, the
necessary arrangements, uniforms and
equipments were ready, and recruit
ing was going on among the retired
colonial troops.
1t is said that Premier Rouvier, as
did other officials, received similar
warnings.
An officer from the garrison of
Rochefort who sent a warning letter
to M. Rabier has been summoned to ap-
pear before the investigating officers
here, as have also three other officers
said to be conversant with the affair.
The police searched house in the out
skirts of Paris where rifles were said
to have been collected, but did not
succeed in finding any.
