Developed in The State Attorneys Office in Chi
Cago-.-Probing Shea's Record and Also Find
ing Out Things About The Employers.

Chicago June 16.--What are consid-
cred as among the most startling dis.
closures of iniquity and graft in
connection with the labor trouble, IN.
volving both the teamsters' leaders
and some of the employers, were de.
veloped in the states attorneys office
today. A violent death with which
President Shea was connected while
a cab driver in Boston is feature in
the new evidence. A detective from
Mr.. Healy's Office is on his way to
bring out all the details of the mat.
ter. Shea says the matter does not
concern him in the least; that he was
completely acquitted of all blame in
the matter.
Revelations were made to the states
attorney and his assistant with the
grand jury, by Alice Walsh. who is al
legged to have posed for several weeks
at the st. Nicholas hotel as Shea's
wife. She was formerly waitress in
downtown restaurant. Mr. Healy
said this evening she would not be
brought before the grand jury. He
added that "she was a simple-minded
girl who had been deceived by Shea
who made her promises he did not
| fulfill"
The disclosures made by the Walsh
! girl according to Mr.. Healy, are vastly
more important than came from the
discovery of the labor leaders connec-

OFFICERS FOR WAR
General Linevitch Sends Report to
the Gar, Who, 1t Is Said,
Favors Peace. -

Chicago, June 16.-A Daily News cor
respondent at st. Petersburg cables as
fellows:
From a member of the court at Tsar-
skoe-Selo your correspondent receives
the informatino that on June the car
ordered Gen. Linevitch to sound the
army on the question of peace.
The reply was received last Saturday
stating that the majority of the men
favored peace, and the majority of the
officers war and reforms. LIneyitch
sdded that he believed the immediate
convocation of a national assembly
would make the war assume national
aspect and that victory would then be
certain; other wise the army, which is
already dissatisfied, would return home
only to swell the revolutionary ranks.
Nicholas has been advised, in the
event of Japans refusing to sign an
armistice, to issue an appeal to the
army and to the people, pointing out
that the blood-thirsty pagans of Japan
refuse to second the humanity of the
czar. The czar, however, fearing inte-
r!or complications. favors immediate
peace

OFFICIALS WRITE
TOO MANY LETTERS
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is AFTER
THE BUREAUcRATS.
The documents in the Case" He
Thinks, Take Up Too Much
Valuable Time.

Washington, June 16.-President
Roosevelt is after the bureaucrat who
believes that his entire work and that
the entire work of the government
should be the collecting of the papers
in reference to case, commenting
with eager minuteness on each, and
corresponding with other officials in
reference thereto" to use his words.
In his letter of designation of and in
struction to Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Keep, James +. Garfield and
three others hear of departments TO
Investigate and find out what changes
are needed to place the conduct of the
executive business of the government
in all it's branches on the most econom-
ioal and effective basis on the light of
the best modern business methods, he
says:
These people (bureaucrats) really
care nothing for the case, but only for
the documents in the case. In all
branches of the government there Is a
tendency greatly to increase unneces-
Sary and largely perfunctory letter
writing. In the army and navy the in
crease of paper work is serious men,
ace to the efficiency of fighting officers
who are often required by bureaucrats
to spend time in making reports which
they should spend in increasing the eff.
fciency of the battleships or regiments
under them. AS regards this matter
you will please confer with the assist.
ant secretaries of the war and navy de-
partments. and request them to submit
tc me scheme for doing away with
the evils referred to. In the civil de
partments the abuse of letter writing
amounts, not merely to the waste o.
time of the government servant respon
sible for it. but also to the impeding o.

vestieate Their Expenditure.

Washington, June 15-The president

FIVE of his closest personal friends to
investigate the expenditure of public
funds in all of the nine great executive
departments. The committee consists

Murray, assistant secretary Of COM
merce and labor; Frank III. Hitchcock,

gregating millions of dollars, are annu-
ally wasted in the various departments.
1t will be the duty of the committee to
examine all expenditures and deter
mine where there can be retrenchment.

BATTLE IS Imminent
II Is Believed in Washington That Russia and Jap
anese Forces Will Come Together Before
Peace Protocol Can Be Signed

for indemnity when territory has not
been taken.
Oyama is believed to be nearly ready
for a crushing blow that, If dispatches
from the war zone do not overstate the
situation, may convert the next action
il to veritable Sedan. Such an out
come would mean occupation of Rus
sian territory, the complete breaking
down of the Russian campaign and the
sweeping aside of Russia's last ground
for opposition to indemnity.
The belief prevails tonight that, in
making public its acceptance of the
Presidents peace proposal, Japan has
called the cars bluff.
The demand for the production of
Russia's note is growing. Count Cas-
sini, the Russian ambassador, has thus
far declined to make it public. The Of
fetal announcement upon the day of its
receipt, that it unqualifledly stood for
peace. was followed by st, Petersburg
reports of nature tending to mislead
1t is believed that, with view to al
laying internal discord, the Russian
government has given out in St. Pc
tersburg an entirely different para.
phrase of the response than the docu-
ment itself warrants. and that the OBJ.
lection of the czar to its publication Is
due to a desire to conceal the diplo.
matte fraud that it is thought has beer
practiced
1t is not believed, however, that the
Russian government can successful!
withstand the criticism of it's course
that is being made in diplomatic cir
] cles.

watch for weeks at the st. Nicholas
hotel in a room adjoining the one in
which, 1t is alleged, labor men, in COM
pany with women, talked freely of the
happenings of the day. The labor lead
crs are said to have been very indis-
Greet in their talks at this hotel"
Among the deals said to have been ex-
posed are several involving members of
the Chicago Team Owners Association.
Arthur Dixon and other members of
the team owners were called before the
grand jury this afternoon and ques-
toned concerning alleged deals. They
refused to answer any questions as to
their testimony on leaving the jury
room.
Several prominent members of the
Employers Association, including Jno.
V. Farwell, Jr., chairman Of the "ac-
ton committee" Vice President Woos-
ter of the gas company; Robert J.
Thorne, general manager for Montgom-
cry Ward & Co., have been summoned
before the jury, as well as a number
OF labor leaders. and it is expected the
investigation will string out much
longer than originally expected.
1t is intimated that aside from the
conspiracy and bribery charges, they
may find evidence to indict some labor
men on charges of attempted man
slaughter, The rumor has been re-
vived that application was laid out to
"do up" Attorney Levy Mayer and pos
sibly one of the leaders of the Employ
ers' Association, and that some talk in
connection with this matter was re-
ported to the states attorney today.

ENGLAND AND JAPAN
REACH AGREEMENT
WHICH EXTENDS ANGLO-JAPAN.
ESE ALLIANCE.
One Result Will Be Return of Eng
lands Best BattIeships to Euro
pean Waters.

Chicago, June 16.-A special cable
gram to the Daily News from London
says
Great Britain and Japan have ar
rived at an agreement embodying the
main principles OF an extended Anglo
japanese alliance. 1t is improbable
that the negotiations yet to take place
will materially modify the new treaty.
Details are inaccessible, but your corre-
spondent is informed that henceforth
Japan will practically safeguard all
British interests in Central and East
Asia in return for Great Britain's in
fuence in preventing a coalition of
European powers to deprive Japan. of
complete predominanCe on the coasts
and in the waters adjacent to its own
islands. The treaty will guarantee the
independence and integrity of China
! and the open door.
| One of the results of the arrange
n'ent will be the prompt return of the
hest of the British warships to Euro
pean waters, where the situation is
now highly threatening. The officer of
the German general staff quoted in yes
| terday's Berlin cable discusses the de-
} fenselessness of Russia's coasts against
| Germany, as if war forced on France
in connection with Morocco would
raise no question of British participa-
ton. Nevertheless, if such a war
Should happen, Great Britain's fleet
would more than likely be heard from,

This country would not need technl-
cally to become Frances ally. 1t could
