UPHELD BY THE VOTERS.
Kansas Mayor Who Refused to En-.
force Laws Reelected.

Kansas City, Kan, May 10.-Resign-
ing just before the state supreme court
decided against him in custer proceed
ings, based on his refusal to enforce
laws relating to the liquor traffic and
gambling, William w. Rose, former
Democratic mayor, was reelected TO
that office at a special election. He
defeated E E. Venard, Republican,
and David Harris, Socialist.
The issue Of the election was the
enforcement of the prohibition and
anti-gambling laws. Rose was sup
ported by the element which believes
that the best interests of the city de-
mand the licensing of joints and gam.
bling halls, as they maintain that a
strict enforcement of the law against
such places deprives the city of nee
essary revenue.
The question of Roses right to hold
the office will now be tested. The SUI
preme court held that its action in
ousting Rose rendered him ineligible
at this time. Rose contends that, as
he resigned before the supreme court
acted in his case, the custer proceed
ings against him were ineffective.

MISSED THE EXPRESS CAR.
Robbers Hold Up imperial Limited or
Canadian Pacific.

Vancouver, B. c., May 10.-The I'M
perial limited was held up on the
main line of the Canadian Pacific rail
way near Kamloops, $50 miles from
here, early in the day. The robbers
compelled the engineer to uncouple
the mail car from the rest of the train
and haul it a mile away, where they
rifed it of the registered letters.
The robbers were under the impress
sion that the express packages were
in the mail car, but when they found
that the express was in another car
they had not nerve enough to go back
for it and slipped away into the hills.
The robbery occurred near a small
station called Furrer, between KAN
loops and Ducks. Special officers have
been sent out from Vancouver to pur-
IL the robbers. The bandits made no
attempt to interfere with the passen-
gers.

TWO VESSELS SUNK OFF HAIR
Dor OF CLEVELAND DURING
SEVERE STORM.

Cleveland, May 10.-The steamer AL.
geria sank about two miles off the har-
Dor of Cleveland during the morning
and four men lost their lives.
The schooner Iron Queen is in a
sinking condition outside the break
water and the crew of eight was taken
off by the members of the lifesaying
crew.
The storm of the night and early
morning, with the heavy sea kicked
up, was a menace to shipping outside
the harbor.
The big steamers that had been tied
up there by the strike came inside the
breakwater, but the small s%chooners
could not get in. Signals of distress
came to the lifesaving station and Cap
tain Motley of the ~lifesaving crew
went out to the Iron Queen. rescuing
the eight members Of the crew with
difficulty. They could not reach the

miles out.
The present storm is said by vessel
men to be the most violent experienced
during the month of May on the lakes

VETERAN EDITOR is DEAD
JOSEPH A. WnEELOCK OF THE
ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
PASSES AWAY.
recovery.

st. Paul, May ~10.-Joseph A. Wheel
ock, editor of the Pioneer Press and
for years a conspicuous figure in Amer
lean journalism, is dead at his home
in this city, aged seventy-five years.
The exhaustion of the return trip from
California, where he had been spend
ing the winter months, is given as the
cause of death.
Mr.. Wheelock was born in Nova
Scotia in 1881. He received his edu-
cation at an academy in New Bruins
wick and came to st. Paul in 1850.
For two years he vas employed in a
suffers store at Fort Smelling, but the
work was little to his taste. In 1854
he became the editor of the Real
Estate and Financial Advertiser,
owned by Charles H. Parker. He on.
tinued as editor for four years. He
became associate editor of the Pioneer
in 1859 and in 1861 he associated him
ing the Times plant and out of this the
establishment of the Press, of which
Mr.. Wheelock became editor. In 1860
he was commissioner of statistics and
in 1863 he made a trip with Governor
Ramsey to consummate a treaty with
the Red Lake Indians. Mr.. Wheelock
became postmaster in 1870.
The Press absorbed a paper pub
lished during the war by Fred Driscoll
and called the Daily Union and in
1875 it took in the old Pioneer as we'll
and the paper then took the joint name
of Pioneer Press. The great caliber
and strength of its editor gave the
paper a national reputation and placed
its editor among the men of the first
rank in American journalism.

ard oil trust and incidentally berating
w. r. Hearst, the press, Thomas W..
Lawson, the magazine muck rakers,"
Wall street, congress and the public
generally.
The ~chancellor's warm proclamation
well may be entitled "Anarchism in
the White House" and will take place
with the address of his in which he
~eulogized John ID. Archbold of the
Standard Oil company, patron of SYRIA
cuse university, and heatedly declared
the term tainted money" all tommy
rot" that he would take for the uni
versity all the so-called tainted mil
lionaires would give to him; that he
could take the faint off the money in
five minutes. Chancellor Day said in
part:
The amazing blunder is in the chief
executive of the great nation attack
Ing the business interests, judges and
persons, in proclamations to congress
and in interviews for the daily press.
There are two general forms of
anarchism. The late practices of our
president are the more dangerous OF
these two forms. That form of an
archism for which William r. Hearst
is noted is harmless in comparison
with that which takes on the forms Of
our institutions and laws and does un.
lawful, unjust and tyrannous things
officially. Hearst can do little because
his cloven foot instantly is seen wher-
ever he steps. But anarchism clothed
with official authority is covert, de-
ceptive and perilous in the extreme.
The press and people, who applaud it
in the official form, shudder at it as
Hearstism. They shudder at the lesser
evil. They applaud only the form of
anarchism that really threatens our
republic"
