AFTER FAKE CITIZENSHIP EVIL.
American Government to Check
Cunning Orientals.

Syrians and Armenians who acquire
American citizenship for the sole pur-
pose of leaving this country and enjo,<3g
the protection of the United States n
foreign lands for the rest of their lives
are the men at whom the proposed revis-
ion of citizenship laws of the United
States is especially aimed. Most of the
entanglements of the United States with
Turkey have resulted from alleged wrongs
suffered by so-called American citizens
who were natives of some of the Turkish
provinces, but acquired alleged American
citizenship either by a short residence in
this country or through fraudulent means.
Many of the so-called American citizens
do not speak a word OF English and are
not in sympathy with this country. In
Hayti thousands of Syrians practically
absorbed the retail trade of the island and
became so distasteful to the Haytians
thai a general expulsion of Syrians was
ordered. 1t was then. discovered that
many of the Syrians had acquired Ameri-
can citizenship by some means and ex-
pected the United States to protect them
against wrongs at the hands of the island
republic. Secretary Hay and his prede-
cessors for fifty years have urged a re-
vision of the citizenship laws of this
country which will prevent foreigners
from acquiring citizenship here and en-
joying the protection of this government
all of their lives, regardless of whether
they reside in American territory. A
board appointed by Secretary Root is in
vestigating the subject and action by the
next session of Congress is expected.

ICE MEN INDICTED.
TWO WASHINGTON COMPANIES

Warm Months and Investigntion
Results-Three Italian Laborers
Slain i'm Dynamite Plot.

Indictments were returned by the grand
jury in Washington against the American
Ice Company, the Chapin-Sacks Ice Com
pany and four individuals, charging them
with controlling the ice supply of Wash
ington. The American and Chapin-Sacks
companies transact about % per cent of
the ice business in the District of Colum-
bia. With the coming of the heated term
shortage in the ice supply of Washing
ton was discovered" suddenly and an at
tempt was made TO advance prices. While
the two companies were formerly Compel
itors, il is charged that on April 20 they
entered into a combination agreeing not
to sell to dealers who should sell ice at
wholesale for less than p cents per hum
cred pounds or at retail for less than 40
cents per hundred. This combination is
alleged to have had the effect of destroy
ing competition not only between the two
principal companies, but also among the
smaller dealers. Citizens Immediately en-
tered a protest. Evidence was discovered
pointing to the formation of coinbina-
ton to put up the prices. This evidence
was presented to the grand jury. The
result was the return of the indictments.

Lyman j. Gage, Former Secretary OF
Treasury. Gees TO California.
Lyman ]. Gage, former Secretary OF
the Treasury, has given up financial
life, in which he had been most prom
lent figure in Chicago, Washington and
New York for many years, and las
taken up residence, which he expects
will be permanent. with the colony Of
theosophists at Point Iona, CAL, Of
which Madame Tingley is the high
priestess. Mr.. Gage says that this final
step in a direction he has long been in
c'ined is the result of vision and thst
during his sleep he was commanded to
join the Point Iona colony.
While the news of Mr.. Cages actien
comes as a surprise to the financial
world to those who have been thrown

took a deep interest in that cult. This
interest has grown since Mrs. Cages
death.
Even so far back as 1892, when he
was one of the great directing forces Of
the worlds fair in Chicago, Mr.. Gage
gave much thought to theosophy. In q
personal talk with correspondent, he
said at that time that he believed the
csophy explained many things that al
OTHER religions and even science LEFT III
darkness. He spoke of Madame Bla-
vatsky, and while he refused to give
her his personal Endorsement or conf
dence, he declared his belief that she
was endowed with remarkable powers.
From the mysterious abilities he ac-
klowIedged in the then foremost the
osophIst of the West he argued the
truth of its beliefs.

w. ]. Client, the well-known Socialist
writer, presents, in the Independent, the
view of his party on this eser-Eresent
question of graft. He says that the thick
and-thin defenders of the existing regime
are protesting against further mention of
this subject for fear that it will destroy
confidence in our institutions and leaders
and will shake the foundations of the re-
public. This silly optimism" he regards
as reasoned form of the instinct of the
ostrich. and declares it will give no i'm
munity from harm. Public graft, he
thinks, is but the outcome of private graft
and the latter reveals itself in food adul-
teration. the sophisticafion of ali classes
of commodities and in various financial
manipulations. lie does not say that all
men graft, but does asset that some men
in all classes of competitive occupations
do graft. Under these circumstances. the
exhortation to be good is of itself bar
rem counsel of perfection given by those
who earn their living by uttering it." Alb
stractly, a man may wish that all indi-
rection or deception might be abolished
by common consent, but in the needs Of
his daily life he justifies the particular
graft which he "a the beneficiary. By
this process of reasoning he reaches the
Socialist conclusion that grating can be
eliminated by merging the competing in
terests of mankind in a commosi interest
and by producing commodities. not for
sale. hut for use without profit.

Three men. were instantly killed and a
score of others we've injured, several of
whom are expected TO die, shortly after I
a. m. Friday, when shanty at the
O'Laughlin Bros stone quarry, near
Bellwood, H., was blown up by dyna-
mite. The explosion was the result of a
deliberate attempt TO kill the occupants of
the shed, laborers employed in the quarry,
according to employees. The dynamite
store room, nearly one mile away from
the shed, was broken into during the night
and large quantity of dynamite taken.
This was carried to the shed, where it
was exploded. The defamation shook
buildings in the vicinity, and when per-
sons living nearby hurried to the place
they found the shed blown TO pieces and
the body of one of the men hanging in
a tree. 1t is believed that the dynamiting
of the shanty was the result of ven-
delta, the thirty men who were sleeping
in the building being all Italians.

Indications that American farmers
this year will harvest the largest grain
crops in the history of the country are
given in the government report on
condition as of July /, and nothing
now seems in the way of unprecedent-
ed prosperity throughout the farming
regions.
Not only is the prospect for bou1-
tiful harvest most bright, but market
quotations show that the farmer will
get fair Es'ice for his grain, while
reports from Europe are that the
wheat crop will be 150.c00.000 bushels
short of that of 1905, indicating that
the export demand will be large, and
that America will have to fill good
share of it.
1t was thought when last years
bountiful crops were harvested that
the high-water mark for production
in the United States had been reach
ed. The percentage estimates of con-
dition of the Department of Agricul-
ture this year, however, indicate that
even that record will be surpassed in
spite of the fact that the oats crop
bids fair to fall short by 100000
bushels.
