HAS A DIG NEART.
President Promptly Acts in the
Shadow of Death

WASHINGTON 49, That President
Roosevelt showed himself a man OF
most generous impulses is the opinion
of Representative Hinshaw, but as for
the presidents secretary, Mr.. Loeb,
the congressman from the Fourth Ne
braska district is by no means as GER
tain. Some weeks ago Rev. Mr.. Ware
was convicted of frauds in connection
with western Nebraska lands. He was
tried in Omaha and sentenced to the
penitentiary. Ware had a number of
agents working for him in procuring
old soldiers to make application for
homestead entries. Among these
agents were Harry Welch of Daven-
port, Neb. WEIGH pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to six months impris-
onment in the Douglas county Jail and
fined 5000. WEIGH has now served
three months of the sentence.
Believing that WEIGH was really ig-
norant of the law a large petition has
been signed by citizens of Davenport
and vicinity requesting the president to
pardon WEIGH, which petition Mr.. Hin
PiAth" plOoOhNOu W tliC plNoAuNhN, Auh
Mr.. Roosevelt refused to act.
Last night Mr.. Hinshaw received
telegram from Welch stating that his
wife was in dying condition in hos
pital in st. Joseph, Mo- aid stating he
had made application to the district
attorney to be permitted to go to st.
Joseph under guard to see his wife.
The prayer Of Welchs had been re-
ferred to Attorney General Moody who
refused the application on the ground
that there was no law to authorize it.
This morning Congressman Hinshaw
received telegram from District At
torney Goss saying that at his instance
the police of st. Joseph had investigat-
ed the case and had ascertained that
Welch's wife was fatally i'll and that
she was asking in heartrending tones
for her husband and that the doctor in
attendance strongly advised his COM
ing.
With these two telegrasm in his pos
session, Mr.. Hinshaw was at the White
House at s o'clock to see the presi-
dent, but Mr.. Loeb said Mr. Roosevelt
could not be seen before $3.50. He told
the presidents secretary of the ex-
IRENE importance of the case, but Mr..
Loeb said it was impossible to forego
the rule.
At OILS the president entered and,
possibly having an inkling of the con-
tents of the kilograms, saw Mr.. Hin
shaw at once. He read them and then,
in his impetuous manner, wrote across
the last telegram to Attorney General
Moody to have the request of WEIGH
granted Immediately and inside of
thirty minutes from the time Mr.. Hin
shaw saw the president the following
telegram was speeding from Mr.,
Moody to Marshall Warner.
Under authority of president you
are directed to send prisoner WEIGH
Immediately under proper guard to st.
Joseph, Mo-, to see his wife, now fat
ally i'll.

ONE VAST DESERT
OLD vEsUvIUs is STILL BELcH.
ING FORTH.
SITUATION APPEARS IMPROVED
Fall Of Volcanic Ash is Finer and Di-
minishing in Quantity-People OF
Naples in a Panic, With Shops closed
and Manufactures Deserted.

NAPLES-The whole of the Vesu-
vius district as far as Naples, Caserta
and Castellamare Is one vast desert.
Reports tonight from all sides state
that the fall of ashes is not so heavy
as it has been for the last few days
and that the ashes are much finer, and
from this it is argued that the pros
poets are much brighter.
The blockade of local traffic con.
tinues, but service on the main lines
of railway has been re-established al
though greatly disarranged by the in
describable confusion in the stations,
where foreigners, not fully under
standing the situation. inveigh against
the delays and discomforts to which
they have been subjected. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 people have been
driven from their homes and property
damaged will exceed S20000,000.
This has been a disquietlng day in
Naples. The people, alarmed by what
has happened, have deserted their
shops and the manufactures are nearly
all closed. The crowds are in a tenn
per for any excess. 1t would only re-
quire a spark to start contlagration.
The arrival of King Victor Emman-
uel and Queen Helena has done much
to restore calm. They have been re-
ceived with great joy, especially when
the sovereigns left hospital after a
visit to the wounded there. One poor
woman exclaimed: 81 would consent
to be wounded for the sake of being
kissed by the queen"
Others cannot find words in which to
express their gratitude. Both the royal
palaces of Cappodimonti and San Fer
nando have been given up to refugees.
Reports of the destruction Of two
towns Sarno and San Generro-the
fomer having population of more
than 5000, have proved to be without
foundation. At Sarno 5000 persons
from nearby villages and farms have
found refuge. Ottajano, where many
lives were lost on Monday, is now
practically buried.
Conditions tonight in the section af-
fected by the eruption of Mount We
suvius are greatly ameliorated The
fall of volcanic ash has diminished,
and scientists express the opinion that
the volcano has spent itself All the
papers tonight advise the public to
be calm, pointing out the improved
condition of affairs. The papers also
eulogize Director Matteucci for his
courage in returning to the ruined OBJ.

FOUR YEAR TERMS
HOUSE GIVES APPROVAL TO THE
NORRIS MEASURE.
SENATORS BY A DIRECT VOTE
Report Says Continuous Drama Causes
People TO Lose Interest in Politics
Election Of congressmen Every Two
Years Encourages Political Grating.

WASHINGTON--A resolution provid-
ing for the election Of senators by d.
rect vote Of the people has been favor
able acted upon by the house commit
tee on election of president, vice-pres-
ident and representatives in congress.
The resolution, which was introduced
by Mr.. Norris of Nebraska, makes the
terms of members of the house four
years instead of two Both PROPOSE
lions are to be accomplished by amend
ments to the constitution
Reasons why the term of members
should be four year are stated to be
because no party can inaugurate its
policy in two years.
THE people are tired" the report
says, "of this continuous drama and as
a result are inclined to give no atten-
ton to the primaries and the conven-
tion-the very foundation of our polit-
ical systematic forum wherein the
country's interests can best be guarded
and protected. With an election every
two years, the political CRATER who
thrives on partisan strife and on the
nervous uncertainty controlling candi-
didates for office is able to live from
one election to another by the Doodle
secured at his unholy business. The
adoption of the proposed amendment
would render it less possible for this
creature to ply his trade"
Regardg the election of senators by
direct vote the report SAYS:
"The proposition to provide for the
election of senators by direct vote Of
the people has been before the house Of
representatives and has received favor
able consideration upon several diff
ferent occasions A proposition to
amend the constitution having this
object in view has passed the house
of representatives at four different
times and each time by a practically
unanimous vote"

TOO MANY ANARCHISTS
COMING AMONG US

notwithstanding to Off
cial information received in the city
Italian anarchists are arriving in the
United States in great numbers at
both Pacific and Atlantic seaports. The
diplomatic representatives Of the Ital-
ian government have positive informa-
ton to this effect, and have brought
the matter to the attention of the
Unied States. Through these repre-.
sentatives at San Francisco and Balti-
more the immigration officials have
been advised of the recent landing of
q number of anarchists from Italy.
The city of Baltimore, it is stated is
rapidly becoming an anarchistic cen
ter. Italian consuls are engaged in
assisting the immigration officials with
view to locating these men, and 1t
was said that very shortly there will
be placed in the hands of the immigra
ton authorities sufficient data upon
which to make number OF arrests.

IOWA CROP BULLETIN.
Farm Work is Ten to Fourteen Days
Behind Normal.

OCHItu NOITfldI.
DIES MONIES, lathe winter of
1905-1906 was phenomenally mild, but
March was unusually cold and stormy,
except the last week, with conditions
unfaborable for farm operations in all
parts of the state The first week in
April was above normal in tempera-
ture. with frequent showers and excess
sive rainfall except in portions of the
northern section. The season for farm
ing operations Is ten to fourteen days
later than the average. The showers
OF the latter part of the past week
will cause still further delay in seeding
and spring blowing
In well drained portions of the state
a little seeding of spring wheat and
oats has been done, but generally field
work has been impracticable, except
blowing grass lands. All reports indi-
cate that fall wheat and rye came
through the winter in good condition.
There are no reports of material in
jury to fruit buds. One of the most
favorable features of the crop situa-
ton is that an unusually large amount
of blowing was done last fall, prepar-
atory for spring seeding and planting.

State Officials Make Move in a New
Matter.
LINCOLN-An effort is to be made
by state officials to save the lives of
the song and insectivorous birds of
Nebraska. Chief Game Warden Car
ter has now in preparation a circular
which is to be distributed by State
Superintendent McBrien in all of the
schools of the state. The school chill
dren are to take the appeals to their
parents. Mr.. Carter remarked this
morning that the farmers and horti-
culturalists should be especially inter-
ested in the preservation of the birds,
as insects would become almost eX-
terminated if the birds were let alone.
A single robin eats at least sixteen
ponds of insects in year.
A picture of Nebraska song birds
will adorn the front cover Of the cir
cular, which will contain ten excellent
reasons for not killing birds. Extracts
will be given from the Nebraska laws
and penalties for bird slaughter, and
the last page will contain an approp-
riate poem. 1t is hoped that the little
pamphlet will result in much good,
not only to the members of the feath-
cred tribe, but also to the farmers and
fruit growers of the state.
