CHINESE BOYCOTT
Imperial Government Making All Ef.
forts to stop II.

Washington, July 14.-The state de-
partment this afternoon received a ca
blegram from Minister Rockhill. at
Pekin, saying the Chinese government
is making all possible efforts to pre-
vent the boycotting of American goods
by the guilds.
He made no comment on the success
of these efforts. 1t was said by an Of
fetal of the Chinese legation here that
the home government is taking steps
to thoroughly circulate President
Roosevelt's order modifying the ex-
clusion laws. He says that the gov
ernment virtually has no influence
with the guilds, ana boycott can be
obviated only by making generally
known the Presidents determination
that the better class of Chinese will
not hereafter be refused admission to
the United States.

STATE RECEIVED
SEVERE SETBACK
IN THE ILLINOIS TUNNEL CO.
BRIBERY CASE.
Judge Held That the Indictment Was
Bad, Although Forgery Had
Been Committed.

Chicago, July 14.-The Illinois Tun-
nCl Co. case, involving forgery of city
council records and alleged bribery,
came TO a sudden end late this after
noon, the state receiving a severe set
beck Judge Chetlain held that the
indictment charging Albert B. Wheel
~, president CT the Illinois Tunnel
Co.; former City Clerk William Loef-
Ter, Edward Ehrhorn, chief clerk in the
city clerks office; ex-Alderman Edward
Novak, and James Higgins, printer.
was bad. He held that a forgery had
been committed and that the printed
pamphlet proceedings of the city coun-
Gil we're a public record, but not the
legal journal of the city council He
keld that the city has not been
estoPped, under the altered wording of
the McGann report. 1t was taken as
significant that in the decision he
holds the city lost none of its rights
CIder this forged report, and that il
can, If it so chooses, begin custer pro-
Gee dings against the company.
The court holds that Loeffler is not
guilty because he is charged with forg-
ing his own records. The other de-
PENDANTS stand in relation to him In
Jaw, which rendered the Indictment
fatal as to them, and the court must
therefore order a verdict Of not guilty.
States Attorney Healy says that he
will not seek to re-indict these men.
He says that he could not legally do
so, because he would be placing them
twice in jeopardy.

ccrtinuing Odessa under martial law is
causing great anxiety and distress to
the merchants, who are wiring the

least six months, as the city is not yet

ly to occur. 1t Is to the personal in

BILE, as he receives an additional sal
ary of 5000 roubles per month while
he is at The head of the city's affairs.

VANDERBILT MONEY
May Unite Columbus With Cleveland
In the Near Future.

Columbus, July 14.-It is possible
that Columbus may be united with
Cleveland and Toledo by trolley lines
BY Vanderbilt money. The Pomeroy-
Mnndelbaum syndicate which controls
ex ensive interurban lines out of
Cleveland has shown disposition to
hold back from the Elkins-Widener
deal and the presence of William X !,
Vanderbilt, Jr., on tour of inspec-
tion of traction lines in northern Ohio

is to be interested in interurban exten-

RACE RIOT

New York, July 14-Five persons
were painfully injured, scores were ar
rested, and hundred policemen. un-
der the personal direction Of Police
Commissioner McAdoo, were needed to
bring about order in race riot that
ragged for four hours in the negro set
tlement in Amsterdam avenue today.
The trouble started when a young
white man stoned an old white man
who was going through the streets
buying old clothes. A negro came TO
the assistance of the old clothes buyer
and was getting the peter of the fight
when friends of the white man came
to his assistance. The negroes in the
neighborhood focked to the aid of the
one who took up the cause of the old
clothes man, and soon a battle royal
was in progress.
The negroes fought the whites in
Amsterdam avenue throughout the
block running from Sixty-first to Six
ty-third street. The few policemen
on the scene, seeing that they were
unable to handle the mob. sent in riot
calls, and soon hundred policemen
were on the scene.
The negroes, outnumbered, made
their way into their tenements. and,
going to the roofs. began to throw
stones and bricks from the chimneys
down upon the whites in the street be-
low. Many shots were fred. but as far
as known no one was hit.
Police officers made their way into
the various negro tenements and ar
rested the negroes on the roof after
strenuous work and hard fought bat
ties. The police were free in their use
of the riot clubs and scores of cracked
heads were treated in the neighboring
drug stores and at the Roosevelt hos
pital.
Roundsman Walsh, who was the
most severely injured. was attacked
by negro who attempted to shoot
him. The negro snapped his pistol five
times at the officer, but the cartridges
failed to explode He then beat the
policeman over the head until he was
insensible. All through the night
heavy details of police patrolled the
district to prevent fresh outbreak.

ENTIRE STAFF OF PAPER HAS
BEEN sUBPoENAEp.
New York Legislature Engaged In
Probing the Celebrated Case
of Judoe Hooker

Albany, N. Y, July lathe New
York state legislature, in joint session,
went on record twice today as being in
favor of compelling a newspaper man
to betray condolences and divulge the
source of information given him under
promise of secrecy
The newspaper man in question, Err
vim Wardman, editor in chief of the
New York Press, who was on the
rack, refused, however, to tell who
told him bribery was being used in the
Hooker case and was accordingly ad-
judged in contempt. The senate judi
ciary committee will, between now and
Monday night, decide how he shall be
punished.
The proceedings furnished the SEN
sation of the day in the Hooker trial,
and Editor Wardman proved himself a
clever witness. All efforts to learn
from him who wrote the now famous
bribery story failed, and as a result
practically the entire Press staff has
been summoned before the Joint ses-
sion next Monday night to tell what
they know and bring copy" of the
bribery story. If possible.
An effort to bring the editor of the
Newburg News, former Governor
Odell's paper. here on a similar mis-
sion, failed From the standpoint OF
the Hooker trial, the defense has the
best of the day.

guage that he should, for the best in
terests of all concerned. recommend
some other person. The fight is an
open and frank one, and the candi-
date has heard from both sides in the
fullest possible manner. Those oppos-
ing the present chairman say that they
will be satisfied with almost any other
man who may be named.
Suggestions have been made that
Judge B. F. McCann of Dayton, viii
S. Thomas of Springfield, Abraham w.
Patrick of New Philadelphia, James r.
Alexander of GAINESVILLE. and number
of others would be acceptable. The
names of William l.. Finley OF Ken
ton and w. w. Durbin of the same
place, who once led campaign in
Ohio, were also mentioned in the list
of possibilities.
