ministered to the reactionists who
are conducting the anti-semitic agita
ton. Premier White after he had
forced a decision of the cabinet tc
suppress the agitation, knowing the
audacity of his opponents, took the
precaution privately to ask the Jew
ish leaders to notify him instantly
whenever the Jewish inhabitants of
any locality were threatened in order
to place him in a position to insist
that measures be taken to protect
them. The Jewish leaders now, how
ever, claim that the reactionary
clique, with the connivance of sympa
thetic local governor generals, are
boldly arranging to block such warn
ings. The leaders claim to have
proof that orders have been given at
several places, specifically citing
Vitebsk, West Russia, not to trans
NIT messages to the premier warning
him of the imminence of the trouble.
1t is further charged, but proof l.

matter and will not be looked upon
either way by the judges.

REPUBLICANS STAY

Washington, March 16-As the re-
suit of caucus which lasted for
two and half hours yesterday, the
republicans of the house voted 1876

Mr.. Mondell, in offering his propo-

with their duty. He discussed the

The speaker followed, touching
first on the binding effect of both
caucuses and conferences. He took
the position that where the party
took action on any matter of this ma
ture all members participating were
bound by that action.
He made the point that there were
twenty residents of Oklahoma and

one in Arizona and New Mexico. He
admitted that he was being deluged

JUDGE [. G. KINKE
CALLED BY DEATH

Des Moines, March 16-Judge L.
G. Kline, pioneer jurist of Iowa and
senior member of the board of con
troll, died at his residence, 1882 Ridge
Road, at 1910 o'clock this morning,
from heart failure. 1t followed a
period of sickness which has lasted
for number of months.
At the time of his death Mr.. Kline
was surrounded by members of his
family. He had been feeling com
paratively r'ell all day yesterday and
had been declaring that he felt bet
ter than he had for months. He re-
tired at the usual hour, supposedly
in his usual health.
His family heard him UP and around
during the night and getting up to
find out what was the matter, discov-
cred him stricken with heart failure.
He was carried to his bed and expir-
ed before medical aid could be secur-
ed
Judge Kline was one Of the orig
mai VI llc UOdIu VI COL-
troll. He was appointed with Cover
nor Larrabee and John Cownie and
has served continuously. He was
the democratic member Of the board.
Judge Kline came to Iowa and To-
Gated at Toledo in 1869. Here he
practiced law until he was elected
to the bench in 1887.
Judge Kline was a democrat since
1870 and was the nominee of his
party for governor in 1881 and 1888,
leading the speaking campaign both
times. He was also the nominee of
the democratic party for United
States senator, district attorney and
circuit judge at different times. For
many years he served as secretary
and later as chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee, and
was delegate at the national con-
vention In 1876. Again in 1884 he
was delegate at large to the ma
tional convention of his party. In
1880 he was elected district Judge in
the Seventeenth district, nominally a
republican district, but resigned Jan.
1, 1887; was nominated again that
fall and was elected to fill his own
vacancy. He was reelected without
opposition in 1890 and in the fall of
1891 was elected supreme judge on
the democratic ticket, receiving 1000
majority in his old district, which
had given him only seven majority
in 1886. In 1897 he was renominated,
but the republican majority was too
large to be overcome, although a
movement was started to re-elect him
as a nonpartisan judge.
In 1894 Judge Kline was appointed
one of the commissioners from this
state on uniform legislation in the
several states; in 1896 he was presi-
dent of the Iowa State Bar associa-
ton. The judge was up to the time
of his death, a member of the Ameri-
can Bar association, and has served on
important committees. He was for
many years a lecturer on the law of
domestic relations and taxation in the
Iowa State university, and a lectur.
er on the law of corporations in the
Iowa College of Law in Des Moines

long and eventful life of Susan B. An
thony closed at 1910 o'clock this

Miss anthony had been unconscious

her death had been momentarily ex-
pected since Sunday night. Only her
wonderful constitution kept her alive.
DR.. M. S. Kicker, her attending
physician, said that Miss Anthony
died of heart failure induced by
double pneumonia. She had had
serious valvular heart trouble for the
last six or seven years. Her lungs
were practically clear and the pneu-
monia had yielded to treatment, but
the weakness of her heart prevented
her recovery.
Miss Anthony was taken i'll while

time, in the winter of 1861, when
she was Kissed and hooted when she
