FRENCH CABINET
DEFEATED IN CHAMBER OF DEP
UTlEs. RESIGNS.
RESIGNATION is ACCEPTED

Crisis Comes At An Awkward Time
and May Embarrass Moroccan Con.
ference Trouble is Over Anti
Church Crusade.
Paris.-Like a bolt of lightning from
clear sky the Rouvier ministry was
defeated in the Chamber of Deputies
Wednesday night and Immediately re-
signed.
The Cabinet crisis comes at most
dramatic moment, when the Franco.
German contest has reached decis-
ive stage, and may exert an important
adverse influence on the Algeciras con.
ference and on European affairs.
The defeat Of the government came
on comparatively minor debate over
the church disorders. The govern
ment succeeded in holding only 234
votes, while the various elements In
pposition-Clericals, Socialists and
Nationalists-united and polled 267
votes, thus placing the ministry in a
minority of 33.
Premier Rouvier, with all of his col
leagues, Immediately proceeded to the
foreign Office, where a joint letter OF
resignation was prepared. Later NJ.
Rouvier presented this letter to Pres.
ident Fallieres, who accepted 1t. The
President announced his intention of
consulting the presidents of the Sen
ate and Chamber of Deputies to-mor-
row relative to the formation of a new
cabinet.
The debate in the chamber was on
the bloody riot yesterday during the
taking of an inventory of a church In
the village of Boeschepe. resulting in
the death Of a manifestant.
Various orators severely criticised
the governments course. asserting
that 1t threatened to precipitate re.
ligious warfare.
Premier Rouvier responded: "The
government has the duty to apply the
law. 1t will apply it without weak
ness. but also with the prudence. tact
and wisdom consistent with public
tranquility. / ask the adoption of
resolution approving these declara-
tions of the government"
The resolution was thereupon put to
a vote and defeated. The result was
due to a combination of opposition in
fiuences. The vote was more express
sive of personal antagonism to the
ministry than opposition to church in
ventories.
Prior to the Cabinet crisis, the
FrancoG German controversy over Mo-
roccan control seemed to be in the
balance. with the inclination strongly
toward an agreement. All depended
upon Berlins last word. II this was
frank concession of a Franco-Spanish
policy without impossible conditions,
then agreement was assured; but II
the concession involved further condi-'
tions. France. whose pride was al
ready much aroused, was prepared to
reject 1t. The foreign office stated the
situation as follows:
THE reported German concession
has not been communicated to us, and
we are therefore unable definitely to
state what action may be taken
thereon. One thing. however. can be
stated with absolute positiveness.
namely. II the German concession of
the police question is conditioned upon
international supervision 1t will not be
accepted.
1t Is generally believed that NJ. Rou-
vier, until his successor Is appointed.
will continue to carry on the same
policy.

Denver.-Prospects of Denver Sc

that new postofiice building costing
perhaps $500.000 be erected. Other
cities are endeavoring to secure post

ELEVATOR TRUST.
Suit Begun In Federal Court at San
Francisco.

SUIT Begun In Federal Court at San
Francisco.
Washington.-On advices that a
federal suit was filed in San Francisco
Wednesday against thirty-one elevator
concerns, including the Otis Elevator
Company, on the charge of violating
the antitrust law, Attorney General
Moody made the following statement:
"The United States attorney for the
northern district of California, under
instructions from the attorney general,
filed in the United States Circuit Court
for the ninth circuit bill of COM
plant against the Otis Elevator Com
pany and twenty-seven other COM
panies and three individuals engaged
in the elevator business charging them
with violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. The companies named as
defendants comprise the principal ele-
vator companies of the United States,
but the operations specifically COM
planned of have been carried on mainly
in California and the states and terri
tories west of the Rocky mountains.
1T is charged that these companies
make and sell at least eighty per cent
of all of the elevators used in that ter
iritory and that they have entered into
combination among themselves to con-
troll and enhance the prices at which
elevators are sold; that in order to
make the combination effective the
Otis elevator Company has acquired
the whole or a majority interest in the
businesses of all the other defendants,
althOugh said defendants are said to be
operating as apparently separate and
independent concerns; that when an in.
quiry is received from a customer by
any of the defendants it is Immediately
referred to the Otis Elevator Company
and If there is no outside competition,
that company designates the concern
which is to get the business, fixes an
excessive and exorbitant price to be
charged and directs the other COM
panies to submit bids, apparently in
good faith, but higher than the bid of
the company which has been desig-
mated to receive the contract; IL out
side competition does appear, one OF
these subsidiary companies is directed
to take the contract at a loss, in order
to freeze out the competitors.
"The bill also alleges that there are
only three elevator companies not in
the combination carrying on business,
west Of the Rocky mountains, and in
order to drive these companies out Of
business and secure an absolute mon
opoly the Otis Elevator Company has
instituted suits against them for al
legged infringement of its patents,
which suits are brought solely to
harass and injure them, and when one
of these Independent companies Sc
cures a contract, the Otis Elevator
Company notifies the customer that it
has brought suit against the indepen-
dent for infringement and if the GUS
toner allows the independent. COM
pany to carry out the contract, he (the
customer) will thereby become liable
for damages for said infringement
"The bill prays that the defendants
be perpetually enjoined from carrying
out their illegal combination"

at Smuggler-Union Mine In 1902
Papers Issued to Sheriff Of San
Miguel County.
Denver.-Governor Mcdonald issued
requisition papers Monday afternoon
upon Governor Gooding of Idaho for
the extradition Of Vincent st. John
who is wanted to answer to the charge
of numbering Ben Burnham at Tellu-
ride, July 3, 1902. The papers were
made out to Sheriff Rutan of San
Miguel county, and he Is now on his
way to Idaho to secure St. John.
Sheriff Rutan and District Attorney
Selig came to Denver Monday morn
ing, and shortly before noon presented
the papers setting forth the details of
the charge to Governor Mcdonald. No
attempt at secrecy was made, as was
done when Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone were delivered to the Idaho au-
thorities.
Burnham was killed in an ARRAY be-
tween union and non-union miners at
the Smuggler- Union mine. Adjutant
General Bulkeley Wells was manager
of this mine, and he accompanied
Sheriff Rutan and District Attorney
Selig in their conference with the gov
ernor.
The information upon which the ap-
plication for requisition was based is
signed by R. M. Wright, and it makes
direct charge that st. John muir
dered Burnham. At the time of the
killing, it is alleged, Burnham was
working at the Sheridan lode, one of
the claims of the Smuggler- Union,
with other non-union miners, including
John Hyde, William Thomas, Trofilo
Logan and William Jordan.
A body of union miners, headed by
st. John, who was president of the
Telluride union, and comprising be-
sides, William Banks, Daniel Kohane,
John E. Conn, George Washburn,
liam Brennan, Jerry O'Rourke, Jerry
White, is alleged to have tried to en-
men from working. In the melee
Burnham was killed.
st. John was indicted for the crime
December Is, 1902, the information al
leges. The indictment was quashed
May 10, 1908, on the ground that the
grand jury venire was not properly
drawn. 1t was quashed late one Sat
urday night, and District Attorney Nc
Mullen asked Judge Theron Stevens
to hold ST. John until Monday morn
ing, until he could file a new informa-
ton. This the court refused to do,
and by Monday morning, it is claimed,
st. John had left Telluride. McMullen
filed new information against him
Monday morning, and the case was
held until the next term of court, when
1t was dismissed. f .f
It is asserted the authorities have
never been able to capture st. John
and that only recently it was learned
he was living in Idaho under, the name
of John w. Vincent.

REHRING STRAIT TUNNEL.
Scheme for All Rail Route from Amer
lea to Europe.

ST. Petersburg.-A more favorable
attitude is being taken here toward
the dazzling scheme for tunnel un-
der Behring strait and an all-rail route
from the United States to Europe.
Baron Loicq De Lobel, representing
the American Trans-Alaskan Siberian
company, is again pressing the project
vigorously, and has made considerable
progress toward securing a desired
concession from Russia.
A distinct party of the government,
which has the sympathy of Premier
Witte, earnestly favors closer CONNER
cial relations between the United
States and Russia and this project ap-
peals to it, not only as a method for
accomplishing this end, but for devel-
oping the resources of Siberia.
The company. which believes the ST.
berian side is as rich in gold as the
Alaskan side, offers to construct the
tunnel and build road 5000 miles in
length from East Cape to Kansk, in
the government of Yeniseisk, where 1t
will join the Siberian railway, on con-
dition that alternate sections of eight
miles on either side of the line, to-
gether with the mining concessions
covered, be granted the company.
Reports concerning the engineering
difficulties and the financial RESPONSE
bility of the promoters, etc, have
been submitted and were generally fav-
orably received by the ministers.
Emperor Nicholas has created a
mixed commission before which Baron
De Lobel will make final argument

In which to complete arrangements and
