PULLMAN FLOUR
FOR STARVING JAPS
Artesian City will Send Carload of
Her Plenty to Aid the
Sufferers

President Roosevelt's appeal for
assistance for the hungering humanity
in the famine strickn portions of Japan
was heard and promptly needed in this
the most western though most favored
of the states of the union, and in no
place has the call for help met more
generous and hearty response than in
Pullman, the center of the greatest
grain producing region on earth.
For this state committee Of Seattle
business men will have direct charge
of the work of sending contributions
to Japan. This committee says:
president Roosevelt has appealed
to Americans to extend aid to the jap
anese, nearly million of whom are
starving from famine. The state of
Washington owes much of its great
prosperity to its close commercial re-
lations with Japan. Humanity alone
should be ground for aid in such cir
cumstances, but here humanity and
commercial reasons coincide. Free
transportation from Seattle to Japan
has been offered by the Boston Steam
ship Company and the Great Northen
Steamship Company.
For Pullman the work of soliciting
carload of wheat or -four was put in
the hands of committee composed of
DR.. Nelson, E. w. Mccain and Will
ford Allen, appointed at the citizens
meeting Tuesday night, and so readily
did the people respond that the carload
was assured in a short time.
1t was the first intention to send the
wheat, but it has since been suggested
that the contributions of wheat and
cash be used in sending a carload of
Pullman flour, each sack to be so
plainly branded that all who see it
will know where the flour comes
FROM" 1t is also proposed that the car
be labeled so that it will serve to
'Pull for .Pdilman" as we'll as to
carry Pullman -four.
The farmers have shown lively
interest in the cause, and some of the
largest contributions have come from
them. Many others will be in town
today, when it ~ expected that the
balance necessary will be made up, and
the car shipped out Monday. The COM
mittee collected some $500 along the
street in short time, and as the
amount required is only about $3.50,
there will be no difficulty in making
up the amount.
Every donor will be more than re-
paid for his slight sacrifice in the
knowledge that out of his plenty he |
has fed some hungry, famine stricken
Jap, although in this prosperous Pa
louise country it is difficult to realize |
that famine could exist anywhere.

POISONING
AT ASBURY.
Mystery at That Place Has
Authorities Guessing Young
Man Laid Down to Die.

ASBURY PARK, May S.-Edward
Mason, twenty-five years old, and be-
lieved to be slightly deranged, enter
ed his home in East Asbury Park
Sunday night CATER having left in
the afternoon, saying that he was go
ing to Red Bank, pulled off his coat,
and threw himself on the lounge.
why, Edward, did you miss your
carr" his mother exclaimed in sur
prise.
The young mar made no response,
but going to his bedroom fell on the
bed in commissions. AS revealed by
the autopsy yesterday afternoon he
had taken carbolic acid.
The case is a peculiar me-. Clasped
in the young mans hand while he
writhed in agony were two papers.
One was an insurance policy for $500,
which he had taken out in the order
of Foresters two weeks before. The
other was practically a will, written
in a feminine hand, directing that
$3.50 be paid to Carrie Wright, a
friend of his mothers; $25 to one
Edwards, of Red Bank, a dealer in
monographs, from whom he had late
ly purchased an instrument, and the
balance to his mother. A second
paper, addressed to DR.. James Sayre,
medical examiner of the Foresters,
requested that he give a certificate of
death.
The mystery Is made deeper by the
fact that Mason was unable to read
or write, and the police are endeavor-
ing to identify the handwriting with
a view to ascertaining the circumstan-
ces under which the peculiar will was
prepared.
Chief of Police Steelman, of West
Park, is positive he can identity the
writer, and there is reason to believe
the case will be cleared up in a short
time. Pending investigation by the
authorities, the coroner's inquest was
postponed until later in the week.

AMAZING BLONOER.
Hot Words Against Roosevelt from
Chancellor Day.

SYRACUSE, \. T., May S.-Charac-
terizing the Standard Oil message Of
President Roosevelt as an amazing
blunder' and arraigning the acts of the
executive as savoring of a dangerous
form of anarchism, James r. Day,
chancellor of Syracuse university, in a
letter issued here defends the oil trust
and expresses the belief that the people
will not accept improved charges from
even the president.
There are two forms of anarch-
ISM" says DR.. Day. 1.-THE late prac-
tees of our president are of the more
dangerous of these two forms. That
form Of anarchism for which William
r. Hearst stands is harmless in COM
parison with that which takes on the
form of our institutions and laws and
does unlawful, unjust and tyrannous
things. officially.
1.-THE first can do little because his
cloven foot is instantly seen whenever
he steps. But anarchism clothed with
official authority is covert, deceptive
and perilous in the extreme. The press
and the people who applaud it in the
official form shudder at 1t as Hearst
ism. They shudder at the lesser evil.
They applaud the only form of an
archism that really threatens our re-
public.
"Anarchism which among anarchists
is comparatively harmless Is not SC
when we adopt it into the administra-
ton of our government. The president
of the United States has positively no
right, constitutionally or morally, to
attack corporate business or private
business by name or judges who decide
cases in opposition to his views.
There are regularly constituted
methods and processes of u country,
national and state, for the correction
of evils in corporations and courts and
also for the arrest and punishment of
criminals. 1t is an amazing blunder
for our president to depreciate the
properties of the country, like those of
the New York Central railroad, Stand
ard Oil, the sugar and other corpora
lions, by an ex parte condemnation
and by sensational charges.
at is an amazing blunder for the
president to exceed his constituted
rights and the judicial functions Of his
Office and attack the integrity of the
decision of a judge in "A popular inter
view, as he did the other day"

OIL MAN SHOT
BY A BURGLAR.
Charles 5 Spisr Killed in Fight
With Midnight ROhber in
Staten Island Home.

NEW YORK, May S.-Charles l..
Spier, confidential man to Henry H.
Rogers of the Standard Oil trust and
president of the Richmond Light and
Railroad company, was shot to death
by a burglar in his home at New Brigh-
ton, Staten Island, after Mr.. Spier and
the burglar had had a hand to hand
struggle in which they overturned ia
bles, wrecked chairs and smashed
china and glass.
The Spier home had been a mark for
robbers for almost two years. Three
months ago it was p%lundered under the
very eyes of a fierce bulldog, which
had been purchased to keep off the
robbers. Either the thieves had a
strange influence on the dog or else he
knew them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spier retired shortly
before midnight. Three hours later
Mr. Spier arose and dressed, He tried
not to awaken his wife.
Now, DEAR he said, don't be
frightened. We should be getting used
to burglars by this time.' As he left
her he kissed her and walked down
stairs.
Mrs. Spier, terror stricken, locked
herself in her room. In a few minutes
her husband returned, closely followed
by the dog.
II couldn't find any one" he began.
While he spoke there came a rattllng

stairs, the dog running behind him,
growing furiously. The burglar must
have been waiting for Mr.. Spier in the
hallway at the bottom of the stairs.
The two closed on each other. Mrs.
Spier could hear them as they strug-
gled about the hall. Then there came
a single shot, and then all was quiet
save for hurrying footsteps out into the
yard.
Mrs. Spier became desperate and
made her way through the dark hall
way and down the steps. She turned
at the bottom and called softly:
Charlie! Charlle!'
She found him lying dead, shot
through the heart.
Mr.. Spier had just insured his life
for $4,000 in the New York Life. He
got two policies and paid the premium
on one of them on Saturday. This was
probably the last piece of business he
transacted. A Judgment for over $780,
600 was rendered against him a short
time ago. Although the police believe
that Mr.. Spier was shot by a burglar,
there is much that puzzles them in the
case.

BILL IN SENATE.
Another Decided Charge-AllisOn
Amendment Meets Opposition.

WASHINGTON. May S.-The situa-
ton of the railroad rate bill took an
other decided change. and at the same
time there was an additional step to-
ward final agreement as to what The
judicial review amendment shall be.
The Allison compromise proposition
met with such determined opposition
from those senators who have fought
against a broad" court review that
despite President ROosevelt's accept
ance of it and his declaration that
other provisions he had advocated were
not vital an agreement was reached
by which several restrictions will be
placed on the review proposition.
These were agreed upon in conse-
.quence of many informal conferences
on the floor of the senate during de-
bate. The result is that in return for
the amendment comforting jurisdiction
on circuit courts to review orders of
the commission friends of the bill de-
handed and by agreement of senate
leaders will secure counter concessions.
Senator Allison's return to the senate
after a brief illness had much to do
with the additional agreements.
After the adjournment of the senate
Senators Aldrich, Knox, Carter, Hop
kins, Cullom. Fulton and Crane met in
Senator Aldrich's committee room.
The conference lasted nearly an hour.
Both factions were strongly represent
ed. At the conclusion Senator Aldrich
stated that the bill would be passed
