SELF GOVERNMENT
 CLUB FORMED After More Rights for Cities and Towns in the way of
 Sunday Laws. NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW Because of the Severity of Some of the Ordinances Obsolete and Ancient Laws Should Go

Chicago, May 2S.-Rrepresentatives from 319 organizations formed the United Societies for Local Self Gov ernment at a meeting here yesterday. The society's purpose is to obtain from the state legislature enactments granting to cities and towns the right to adopt laws of their own regulating Sunday observance and social and popular recreation.
 The organization is the outgrowth of the mammoth demonstration at the First Regiment armory, March 9. when 10000 persons met in the hall and outside in Michigan avenue to protest against the withdrawal of special bar permits in the effort to abolish dlsreputable dance halls. The representation yesterday, made up of five hundred persons was largely from the United German societies, but members of Bohemian, Danish. Ital- ian, Swiss, Norwegian, Polish, Swed- ish and French societies also were present.
 Respect for all lows is under mined by he open or silent disregard of some laws" the resolution adopted said in part, '.or by leaving to the discretion of executive officers the de- cision what laws shall or shall not be enforced. Tn a democratic republic the laws should conform with the opinions and wishes of the great mass of the people and with the actual con ditions of society. Anticipated or ob- solete laws that are no longer re- spected and obeyed voluntarily by good and law abiding citizens are contrary to the spirit of popular gov ernment and should be amended and repealed"

STANTON CHOSEN Grandson of Famous
 War Secretary. WILL DEFEND SOLDIERS Who are Charged With MansIaught- CT for Killing a Man Who Had
 Stolen Copper from the
 Government Reservation.

Washington, May 2S.--The war department has detailed Lieutenant Edwin M. Stanton, Third infantry, a grandson of the famous war secre- tary and at present attached to the office of the judge advocate general, to assist the United States district at torney at Pittsburg in the defense Of two soldiers who are to come before the court of oyer and terminer at that place June IS on charge of manslaughter. The case is one of first order of importance to military men, for upon 1t depends the right of the United States to infict sum- mary punishment upon civilians who commit crimes upon military reser- vation and then make their escape. Incidentally is involved the question as to the extent of the authority of the commanding officer of a post to protect the government under his charge from harm.
 Lieutenant Drury and Private Dowd are the accused. Some copper had been stolen from the Allegheny arsenal and a man was seen running away with parcel. He was pursued across the line of the post and fail- ing to stop upon demand of Drury, by his order Dowd sent a bullet through the fugitive.
 If the man had fallen within the limits of the post there would have been no question as to the right of the soldiers to have shot him. But as he was killed on Pennsylvania soil the local authorities had the soldiers arrested. The government intervened and in the lower court pleaded lack of Jurisdiction on the part of the state, but this was rejected and now the case will come before the appel late tribunal to be tried upon Its mer- its.

PRINCESS SAVES
 MAN FROM DEATH Her Act of Mercy to This Man Endears
 Her to the Spanish
 People. SERVICES AT PARD0 PALACE The Future Queen Inspects the Arms and Accoutrements of
 the Spanish Soldiers.

Madrid, May 2s.-The first notable act of Princess Ena of Battenberg since her arrival in Spain to become the bride of King Alfonso XIII has been to induce the king to pardon Fernando Levera, who was condemn ed to death after an exciting trial. The dramatic circumstances under which pardon was given, as the con demned man was going to the gal lows, attracts widespread attention and further aug1nents the popularity of Princess Ena.
 Leyera was to have been executed in the neighboring town of Badajoz, but the population solicited Princess Ena's intercession and she spoke to the king, who consulted with his ministers and after cabinet council the government resolved to grant the request as it was the first petition the princess had made in Spain.1 Thereup- on the king issued pardon and telegram announcing his fact reached the prison at Badajoz half an hour before the time set for the execution. The march to the scaffold was about to begin when a messenger brought word of the pardon. There were re- markabln scenes of rejoicing. The townspeople formed procession and sang tn epraises of their queen-to-be The people of Madrid also highly ap- prove the princess's humane interven- tion and the newspapers comment up on the coming queens first act as be- ing one of mercy.
 The wedding ceremony will take place Thursday in the old church of San Geronimo and the state cerenio- nies and popular fetes will occupy all of this week and until June s.

EMPEROR SILENT He Still Looks for a
 Compromise. DEADLOCK IS NOW ON.
Official Notes Issued Say CoysIa- mont will Not Resort to Forcs-- Meantime the Pessimism
 Continues to Spread.

St Petersburg, May 28.-The pes Simism over the outlook continues to grow. The government as usual in every crisis seems to be hesitating as to which course to pursue. The emperor refuses to yield to the coun- sells of the court camarilla, but his attitude continues to be negative and not affirmative. He seems to cling to the idea that a compromise is still possible. Several official notes have been issued denying that the govern ment intends to resort to force, but at the same time there is no evidence that the emperor is ready to yield to the demand for the supercession of the present ministry with one from the majority in the lower house of parliament. The result is virtual deadlock, the prolongation of which can only serve to diminish the chances of a peaceful settlement.
 Two plans for extricating the gov ernment without meeting the direct issue are suggested by the emperor's s moderate advisers. One is to simply allow the lower house to talk until the end of June, when the summer vacation will be scheduled. The other is to dissolve parliament and order a new election. But either course, in the opinion of the best judges of the situation will only increase the dan ger of an explosion in the country. The peasantry, whose hopes are cen tered in parliament, will undoubtedly be profoundly stirred by the govern ment's refusal to distribute the crown and church lands and recognize the principle of the appropriation of pri. vate holdings. and many people ex- pect to see the destruction o: their hopes followed by an immediate up- rising of the peasants against the nobles The correspondent of the As- sociated Press has talked with a number of landlords from various parts of the country who declare that the peasants are fanatically attached to, parliament and that between the dictum of the emperor and of parlia- meat they will obey the authority of the latter. The revolutionary leaders and the proletariat organizations of the cities are sure to profit by the deadlock and terroristic campaign is already in full swing.
 M. Shipoff of Moscow. who last week was considered to be possible compromise premier. Is out with an interview declaring that after the ac- tion of the lower house on Saturday he could not accept the premiership. The only hope now of saving Russia from a revolution is the formation of a ministry of constitutional demo- crats. which would throw upon the dominant party in the lower house the responsibility of fighting the ex- treme clements.

ICE TRUST BUSTED.
An Agreement Binding for Three Years Signed by e6 Saloonkeepers.

Harford. May -saxf s.d work sss done last evening towards busting the Ice Trust. At the adjourned meeting of the saloon men held in Hibernian hall, about sixty of the 100 saloon men who are actively engaged in the organization of an independent com pany were present and few outsid- CTS who are interested In the matter, which although started by the saloon men is for the benefit of the general public.
 All merchants are especially invit- ed to subscribe so as to give sub stantial character to the company, the promoters being satisfied that the more large consumers they have as stockholders the greater the business to be done and the more beneficial the results. Each saloon man who has joined in the movement has agreed to take at least two shares of stock and many have expressed an intention to take more. several having promised to put at least S1OO. which means four shares of stock. Wagons and drivers will be got. SO that before the end of the week the people of Hartford will no longer be at the mercy of the ice trust.
 It will be seen that for a starter those who will sign the agreement have bound themselves in such q manner that the new company will have nice line of customers to start with. One hundred bona fide custom ers, each of whom uses considerable ice is a nice business alone. They agree to take all their ice of the new company until May 1. 1909. under a penalty of so. and no stipulation as to price this season. After this season until the expiration of the agreement the price is not to exceed x5 ton. In as much as the new company will have no high salaried officials. will do business with the minimum expense and will not have to expend any mon ey to buy up ice fields and let them rot. or to secure crops of ice at a high figure in order to stife honest com petition. 1t -ls expected that it will be able to sell Ice to it's members and the public in general at reasonable figure.
