SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
WASHINGTON, April 1e.-President
Roosevelt has made known to some of
those with whom he has talked recently
that his ambition is to represent the State
Of New York in the United States Senate
after he leaves the White House in 1903.
There is not the slightest doubt in the
minds of the Presidents closest friends
that he intends to adhere strictly to his
announcement on election night in No
vember, 1904, that under no circumstances
would he serve another term in his pres
ent Office. In speaking of his future Mr..
Roosevelt has taken 1t for granted that
his listeners fully understood that he
would not again be a candidate for the
Presidency
1t is assumed from what Mr. Roosevelt
has said that he much prefers remaining
in public life to becoming president of
Harvard University.
Both of the present Senator's from New
York are more than 20 years of age. and II
is generally understood that neither will
stand for reelection. Platt will cease TO
be Senator on the same day that Mr..
Roosevelt will cease to be President,
March 4. 1909. while Depew's term will ex-
pirei on March 4. 1sf1. If he were elected
to succeed Platt, Mr.. Roosevelt would be
sworn in as Senator, IL he so desired, on
the day of his retirement from the Presi-
dency.
Upon his accession to the Presidency in
1901 Mr.. Roosevelt was the youngest man
lives until the expiration of his present
term he will be only 80 years old. He will
then be thirty-five years younger than the
nestor of the Senate. Pettus Of Alabama.
John Quincy Adams served eight terms
in the House of Representatives after he
had ceased to be Preside mt in 1929

.LADRONE BAND
RAIDS ARSENAL
NEAR MANILA
Three of the Defending
COnstabulary Slain
in Fight.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


MANILA. April 16.-One of the bold
est exploits Of "ladronism" in the Phil
ippines was carried out in Malolos. the
capital Of the province of Bulacan, in
the island Of LUzon. only twenty miles
from Manila, today. Forty ladrones
raided the headquarters of the Philip
pine COnstaoulary in the center of the
city, capturing twenty rifles. and es-
capped after killing three men and los
ing one Of their own number.
The brigands entered the city early
in the morning. and were not discov-
cred until they mad reached the Con-
stabUlary headquarters. This is in a
building in the very heart Of the town.
fronting on the residence of Governor
Sandieo. Here they were challenged
by a sentry. They promptly killed the
sentry; .and then swarmed up the stairs
OF the building.
In addition to the city Offices of the
Constabulary, the administration
building contains the arsenal, where re-
serve rifles and ammunition are kept
1t is believed that the ladrones had
learned the location Of this arsenal and
had planned the raid to obtain arms.
The few men OF the Constabulary de-
Tended the quarters. but they were out
numbered and were at a disadvantage
in the hand-to- hand fighting which fol-
lowed. Two OF the defenders wero
killed.
The robbers then proceeded 10 help
themselves to the rifles, and had taken
twenty before the uprOar caused by the
hghting frightened them away. They
fed out Of town. leaving one Of their
number dead in the headquarters build
ing.

ulary has gone in pursuit

noon admitted somewhat reluctantly
that, with Nine. Andreiva, he is domi-
ciled at Fifth avenue, which is
the headquarters of an organization
known as Club A, a cooperative So
ciety of writer's. Gorky is writing let
ters for publication and the work of
translation is being partially done by
his son.
Russian Consul General Nicholas de
Ladygensky, when seen at the con-
sulate, said that he had no knowledge
regarding the identity of Gorky's com
panion, and that the Russian Govern
ment was not concerning itself regard
ing the revolutionist. leaving the sub
Ject to the intelligence of the American
people and of Commissioner of Immi-
grafton Watchorn. If Gorky has vio-
lated any American law, the Consul
said, America could be depended upon
to do what was proper
AT the Russian Blue Cross Society ii
was said that the question of the iden-
tity of Gorky's companion did not in
terest them to any great extent, be-
cause in Russia common law marriages
were regarded with equanimity The
of the provincial type, such as tour the
country but are not allowed to play in
st. Petersburg, where only those of the
highest powers may appear upon the
stage.
Gorky showed feeling in talking of
the situation which had been brought
about through what he considers the
activities of his enemies.
THE Russian Government and its
secret police recognize my marriage to
Nine Andreiva," said Gorky, speaking
with some bitterness. why then
should there be a question over the
matter here? 1 cannot believe that my
wife and 1 are being sacrificed through
a desire for cheap sensationalism on
the part of a certain section of the
lieve that. But If it be not due to
that, then 1t is owing to the work of
emissaries of the Russian Government.
This hurts me very much-more than
1 can say. She is my wife-my wife in
every sense of the word"
immigration Commissioner Robert
Watchorn said the Gorky case was no
longer in the hands of the local I'm
migration Bureau. 1t was up to
Secretary Metcalf of the Department of
Commerce and Labor at Washington, he
said,
IF Gorky Is, as he says, married to
the actress and at the same time not
legally separated from his wife in Rus
sia. then he is liable to deportation,
said the commissioner, for both
bigamy and polygamy are under the ban
Of the immigration laws. AS the case
now stands, however, we have no evil
dence against Gorky or the woman who
came here as Nine. Gorky."
Word was received yesterday
through the central committee of the
Bund of this city that Maxine, who
was the leader during the revolution
in the Baltic provinces, and head of the
federal committee during the three
weeks of the republican government,
would be in New York in a few days
His mission to this country is similar
to that of Gorky. He will make a tour
of the United States, making speeches
and lecturing.

peculiar vouchers have been found in
the supply department of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company. the head OF
which was formerly Andrew C. Fields.
who also was the Mutuars legislative

! Like a knight of old, Attorney d. M.
Delmas appeared before Judge Kerrigar
yesterday to refute the charge made
against him by Attorney L. M. Hoefler
| last Thursday at the trial of the Yoell
will contest. Hoef1er, who represents the
| contestants, had charged that Delmas, at
| torney for the defense, had at one time
| been sued by j. Alexander Yoell for mon
eys he was alleged to have withheld.
| With convincing eloquence, backed by
certified copy of the proceedings in the
case referred to by Hoefler, Delmas pro-
ceeded to refute the charge and confound
his accuser.
The documents showed that in 1883
Yoell was empowered to collect $4,000
for Delmas, and claimed $4,000 as his
fee. Delmas regarded the amount as
exorbitant and Yoell then brought a
suit that was never pressed to trial.
Before Delmas produced these rec
ords to show how woefully garbled was
the account of that case as told to the
jury by Hoefier, Delmas made demand
of the contestants that they bring for
ward the records which might support
the charges their chief counsel had
made.
The attorney, who warmed up in elo-
quence, hurled challenge after chal-
lenge at his accusers, but the only an
swer came from Attorney e. E. Cothran
of San Jose. associate counsel for the
contestants. What Mr.. Hoefier has said
we will prove when the proper time
comes" was his only reply.
centuated by the deathlike silence that
prevailed Attorney Delmas addressed the
court as follows:

dress motion to your Honor, motion

courtroom, in making a statement to the
jury of what the contestants purposed
proving in this case. their counsel stated,
among other things, that he would prove
that years ago James Alexander Yoell
brought suit in San Jose against d. M.
Delmas to recover sum of money which
Mr. Delmas had collected for him but
had never paid over.
THAT statement was made with all the
deliberation which ought naturally to at
tend charge Of that gravity. 1t was at
once published to the world. The papers
appeared with headlines the next morn
ing stating that the defendants counsel
had publicly been charged with breach
of trust, and had withheld from his client

GAS REDUCED TO $3.50 PER

The very liberal patronage award
ed the Citizens Gas and Coke com
pany since commencing to supply
gas two months ago has more than
convinced the directors that the pub
lie is fully alive to the advantages of
gas for fuel. For a new company the
gas sales for the past six weeks have
been very encouraging and in apprec-
iatfon the company desired to make
very liberal concessions to fuel gas
users. Namely reduction to $1.5O
per thousand net-same to go into
effect June lst.
The Gas company has from the
start evidenced a very liberal policy
in selling gas stoves and piping hous-
es for light attachments at actual
cost, the support received from the
public encourages them TO make the
reduction in the price of gas. A re-
duction of this nature is only made
possible by anticipating a speedy and
