LElrER EsrATE RoBsED.
Securities Worth Between $1O,900 and -." e25,OOO Are Taken.

$Z5yOOO Are Takem.
 Chicago May 1.-The office of John Letter and of the estate of the late z. Letter, father of Joseph Letter. was robbed last night. and bonds and se- eurities valued at from $10.000 to s25.- coo weer stolen. The burgulars gained entrance in the door with a sledRe ham nier. using rubber mats to deaden the noise of their work. The robbery. which Is supposed to have been commit ted Saturday night. was not discovered until the clerks had entered the office today.
 A hasty examination of the contents ot the vault caused the assertion by the clerks that securities valued from s1O0,000 to S150.000 had been taken. When Hugh. Crabbe. the manager of the estate of Levi Letter arrived at the office, he at once declared that the amount of the robbery would not amount to more than $10.oOo or s25.o0o and produced a package of bonds val ued at S125.000 which the clerks thought had been stolen. The offices of Robert E. and Frank Grove. at torneys. adjoining that of the Letter estate was also entered and securities valued at about $5.000 taken. The door to this office was opened in the same maner at that of teh Letter estate. in bot hcases the vault doors were opened with chisels. .,
 The robbers evidently conducted their work In the most deliberate man. Ter. as they had pulled down the cur talns. turned on the lights and scruti- rized the bonds In order to determine which were negotiable and which were not. All of the securities taken were negotiable.
 The building in which the office Is located is within half a block of police headQuarters.

RACE ISSUE
 IN RATE BILL Southel Senators Pro-
 ystsd Violently. QNSTl0N WAS ELIMINATED Free Pass Bugaboo Was Also
 Under Discussion. Mir. Money Declared That He Would Not support BilI If It contsined
 Provision Which Raised Race
QT.STlON WAS ELIMINATED

Washington, May 7.-The Senate to- day spent the major portion of its time on one amendment to the railroad rate bill. but instead of accepting 1t. adopted a substitute.
 The provision, which was made the basis of the discussion was that sug- gested by Mir. Foraker prohibiting the granting of rebates. passes. drawbacks or special rates to passengers on rail- ways and also prohibiting discrimi- nations in the way of accommodations where equal rates are paid.
 The discussion took a broad range covering first the pass question and then the race question in the Southern States. The race issue was raised in connection with the clause relative to determinations which was interpreted as referring to separate cars for the races and 1t called out very warm pro- tests from Mir. Bacon, MT. Money. Mir. Cuiberson and other Southern sena- tors.
 Mir. Money declared he would not support the rate bill with provision which raises the race issue. MT. Gull person also contended for the eiimi- nation of that question and offered a substitute accomplishing that result. His substitute was adopted and was as follows:
 .aThat no carrier engaged in Inter Stdte cOEiIHCFCt bHdii oitocttg UT AA0A rectly issue or give any free ticket. free pass or free transportation to any person except to the officers, agents, employees and attorneys exclusively in the service of the carrier issuing the same. or to ministers of religion, in- mates of hospitals. eleemosynary or charitable institutions. Any carrier violating this provision shall be deem ed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall for each offense pay to the United States penalty of not less than sl00 nor more than s2,000."
 Before taking up the Foraker amend ment, the Kittredge amendment rela- tive to private cars was voted down.
 The Elkins amendment to prohibit interstate railroads from engaging In the mining of coal or in business other than interstate commerce, was debated for some time So many amendments and substitutes to the amendment were -offered that finaily all were ordered printed for, the consideratfoni of the Senate tomorrow. ~

EMPEROR
 IS SUPREME Same Fundamental Law
 Drafted. DID NOT PERISH WITH WIFE Imperial Power is Further
 Strengthened. People Had Been Led to Believe that Unpopular Draft Had Been
 Abandoned-storm fs
DID NOT PERISH WITH wlTTE

St. Petersburg. May s-(4:20 a. m.)-s Another of the kaieidoscopic changea in the political situation to which Russ sia is becoming accustomed. occurred, late last night when, with utter unex-
 pectedness. the draft of the fundamen- tai law. which was supposed to have perished with the witte regime. was, officially promulgated and made tha( permanent basis of the Russian statas unalterable except on the initiative od Emperor Nicholas or his successor. Though the draft of the Fundamental law has undergone considerable edittna and numerous minor changes have been. made in 1t. in essence 1t remains iden~s. tical with the project telesraphed tnf the Associated Press on April 24. which evoked storm of anger and con- demnation by the dominant Liberal party.
 Published at the present instant when the people had been led to be- lieve that the unpopular draft had been dropped and when the dismissal of thas old cabinet was accepted as an indie. cation Of the desire on the part of the government to join hands with the national parliament the news will arouse still greater indignation and threatens to undo all the work of Pro- lessor Milukoff and the other consti~ tulionAl demOcratic leaders Tn the cauSo of moderation.
 The new fundamental law of the empire. signed May 5. contains eighty two articles dealing with tho nature of the imperial power. the rights and duties of citizens, the methods of leg isiation. the rights and limitations of the national assembly and council of the empire. and the constitution and responsibilities of the council of min- isters
 The only modification in the "con- stitution" as published which meets with favor in the elimination of the provision empowering the emperor to fix salaries and pensions of officials, thereby subjecting. even the Judiciary to the possibility of undue financial influence. All other changes are in the direc- tion of further undressing the imperial power protecting the crown lands and properties from interference by the parliament and giving the emperor power to concede loans Independently should the parliament refuse to pass the budget. 1.
 The retirement of seven members of Count wittes cabine. and the appoint ment of M. Schwanbach to be con- trolier of the empire; Nj. Kaufman to be minister of education; M. Stichnisky to be minister of agriculture. and M. Tcheglovitiff to be minister of justice. are gazetted this morning.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.
Not Believed That the Rhode Island is
 Seriously Injured.

Norfolk. Va. May 1.-The United States battleship Rhode Island. which went ashore on York Spit Saturday while en route from Boston to the York river target grounds and was successfully foated last evening, Is thought to be but little if any injured.
 Grave apprehension was felt by the naval authorities for the battieship for the reason that the great machine of war went aground at extreme high tide and 1t was not known what trouble might be experienced in float ing her. The Rhode Island draws from twenty-six to twenty-eight feet of water.
 In the event an examination of her bottom by divers proves that the Rhode Island needs to be docked fo" repairs naval officers said today she will probably return North for this purpose as the docks at Norfolk yard are not large enough

Cor National Vigor and Growth

President Roosevelt in his last mes
sage advocated national lnvestiga-
ton of the extent and conditions of
chill labor and wcmen's labor for
wages in the United States. Congress
man Gardner of New Jersey recently
introduced bill providing for such an
investigation, and tt g bill is now pend
ing in the houEe. There are many
weighty reasons why it should be ap-
proved.
The president looked upon the mat
ter in question from the standpoint of
the nation rather than of any particu-
lar locality. He believed that comp
rehensive information concerning the
subject should be gathered in order
that states that are backward in their
own legislation thereon might nnte
the example of more progre ssive states.
He urgded also that since lover FIVE
million American women are now en-.
gagged in painful cupations" more
accurate and complete knowledge
should be had concerning various prob
lens apparently related to this fact
The proposed investigation woUid
be a recognition of child labor and
women's labor as IN part at least nat
ional qr esttions.
1t would recognize such labor in its
relation to national vigor, efficiency,
and growth. II would recognize the
relation of this subject to TIE military
and CONNIE l ci Il prospects of the Unit
ed States among the nations of the
earth. It would be in line with the
action of tile leading countries of Eu
rope, which have long treated pro-
tective legislation for the coming gen
Grafton az fundamental item of nat
ional policy.
1t is not mere census count which
Is contemplated but real social IN
vestigation. 1t would be intended to
show. tor example, whether women S
labor for hire is reducing marriages
and cutting down the birth rate,
whether children III different parts of
the country are being sacrificed i'll
physique, mind and adult capacity by
heing put too early into wage seHrn-
ing harness, whether the Drift of the
weaker members of society to factories
and workshops is prejudiciug public
education, public health, and national
efficiency.
The bill in question is appI owed and
urged by many persons acquainted
with present day social conditions.
1t will scarcely be opposed unless from
selfsh motives. 1t provides for au ap-
