MISSIONARY GAGGED.
Chinese Robbers Entered His Home
 at Dead of Night.

San Francisco. June 25.-Dr A. Beattie, an American missionary who arrived here yesterday from China on the steamer Siberia, had an .experi- ence with Chinese robbers shortly be- fore he left Canton, where he has been stationed for years. Dr Bcatties residence was in the heart of the city. Anchored in the river within less than 200 yards from his house was the United States monitor Monad- mock. Patrolling the streets were na- tive policemen who frequently passed the house. One night Dr Beattie, his wife, children and servants were sud- denly awakened to find the house in the possession of thirty robbers. Ev- cry member or the family was gagged and tied to bedpost. The burglars then stripped the house of everything of value. Despite the fact that Unit ed States warship was lying so close to the house and police patrols were passing at frequent intervals, the robbers escaped with their loot. The Chinese government promised repara- tion, but up to the time that he left Canton Dr Beattie had received noth- ing but apologies.

MAYOR DUNNE WILL ACT
f Officials of the Chicago Traction Companies Do Not Make Satis-
 fictoy Explanations to Hin
Fl PEOPLE KILLED IN 50 DAYS

Chicago, June 25.-The Record Herald to-day says: Indictment of the presidents and leading officials of the various Chicago traction compan- les will be sought by Mayor Dunne if immediate and satisfactory explana- Hons are not given him concerning the recent fatalities laid at the door of the street railway corporations The mayor announced last night that he would write an open letter to the traction officials to-day, presenting to them the report of Dr Doty, super intendent of street car service, who has notified the city executive that within fifty days twenty-one persons have been killed by cars in Chicago.
 Mayor Dunne will ask the com panies to affirm or deny, then to ex- plain, the charge made by Dr Doty. He will follow this request with one demanding that the officials acquaint themselves with their street railway equipment, with the conditions of their lines and the existence or non existence of proper safeguards and appliances for the protection of their patrons.
 When the city executive has re- ceived the replies and explanations of the companies he will decide If they are adequate and if there Is promise of improved conditions in the future. If he concludes that the people of Chicago are not to be given greater protection he will at once submit the cases to States Attorney Healy and ask that the>grand jury re- turn true bills, not only for the em- ployes of the company, who are gen erally placed under arrest and haled into court, but for tha presidents of every company included In his
 black list" This list involves all of the important surface lines in Chi cago.

BLOOD FLOWED FREELY And One Man Was Killed In a Faction Fight Near Chicago Yesterday
 Afternoon
ATTEMPT MADE AT LYNcHlNC

Chicago. June 25.-A feud in the Austrian colony at Thornton, III, re- suited yesterday in a fight which waged up and down the main street of the town for an hour and ended in the killing of one man and the in- jury of many others.
 Peter Hendricks, a laborer on the town roadway, was the innocent vic- tim Of the race war. The man who shot him gave the name of John Steinucz, a labOrer in stone quarry. Edward Goening, night watchman in the quarry works, was probably fa- tally injured.
 The fight started in a saloon, a headquarters of the Austrians cm- ployed in the stone works. There had been strife among these men and an outbreak was expected.
 Goening, 1t is said, started the im- mediate trouble by trying to break up celebration which the Austrians were having in the saloon. Steinucz secured revolver and led a small band of men down the main street.
 Crowds of people had gathered and Stienucz began shooting at them. Hendricks was in the front rank of the spectators and fell dead at the first volley.
 This so enraged the crowd that an immediate attempt was made to lynch Stienucz. He was surrounded and beaten on the head with beer bottles. When the police rescued him he was unconscious. He and four of the rioters were locked up.

YALE COLLEGE WILL
 BE MORE STRICT Students Who Have Not Received CoI- lege Degree May Not Be Allow
 ed to Study Law nrAN nncrnc Ic IN raNnn
DEAN ROGERS IS IN FAVOR
The Big Universities Are Placing Such a Restriction on Students
 Entering Law Departments.

New Haven, Conn. June 25.--It Is
 announced on high authority that an
 important proposition has gone from
 the Yale law school faculty to the cor
 poration for action. The proposition,
 1t is stated. involves the exclusion hereafter from the law school under the requirements of admission of stu dents who have not obtained college degree, alternative propositions being a qualification of two years in college and of giving the degree only to men who have taken high rank in schQl- arship, others being given certifi- cate. Dean Rogers of the school in his annual report to be printed tomorrow comes out very strongly in favor of the college degree as requirement. of the school. He argues that such q requirement coincides with the tend ency of large American universities, that it gives strong support to the bachelor of arts degree and that it creates homeogenious group of stu dents who are well trained and in which the better scholars do not re- tard the progress of the poorer ones. Under the second proposition, namely the two years' requirement., Dean Rogers suggests that the law school in that case be allowed from academ- ic students taking the law school courses. such proportion of the tui- ton fees as their law courses bear to their general academic studies. The third proposition of joining the de- certificate to the lower studies, the dean criticises unfavorably.
 The main question involved in these important propositions of the dean, one or more of which comes before the corporation is the question of financing the affairs of the law school as the change seems pretty certain to reduce the number of students and the revenues from tuition. On these points the dean in his annual report suggests that the Yale corporation must assume the financial risk.
 The dean In his annual report shows that as regards numbers the past year has been the best in the history of the school. The number of aca- demic students taking the law cours- es has risen in six years from 37 to oO2. and the coming year will show a large increase. The report also shows considerably increased strin- gency in the examinations. Out of the present membership of the school of about 24O In the three regular class es sixty-two now hold college de- grees.

HE WANTS THE MONEY
Deputy Knox of the Bureau of Corpor- adons Would Like to Spend the
 Unexpended Balance
COMMITTEE DOES EXTRA WORK

Washington, June 25.-An outline of the work of the bureau of corpor- ations has been given the house ap- propriations committee by Herbert Knox Smith. deputy commissioner, in urging that the unexpected balance .of $79.00O for the current year be made available for the work of next year.
 Possibly you remember" he said, when I appeared before the commit vestigation of steel, completion of the beef investigation, investigation of oil, sugar and tobacco. The steel in- was quite inexpensive, because we were furnished the work by the United States Steel corpora tion, and as yet We have had to ex- pend almost nothing. If we had ,lone the work it would have cost a good many thousand of dollars. In the to- bacco investigation We did most of the work that we intended.
 The sugar investigation we had to hold up and part of the tobacco investigation because of the inlmun- ity decision, until 1t was determined just how we stood on that matter. Then, when the special development came out in regard to the discrlmi- nation in the transportation of oil. the attention of the entire bureau had to be given to that, and We could not really undertake another irves- tigation at that time. The result bas been that we have not done as much work as we expected. That shows the difficulty of estimating beforehand.
 The past two years have been ab- normal because 1t is new bureau and we have run up against these legal questions like the immunity question, and we feel now that those questions are settled and we can get the bureau organized so that we can handle the work and will need all the money estimated to carry on the work started and held up."
 Representative Littauer "you think that you can expend $2o0,- 000?"
 Mir Smith-"Yes. sir; if We carry out the work we intend to do we shall. The steel work is vast job and when we get our men working instead of having the United Statcs Steel corporation furnish the figures. 1t is going to be very expensive. and with the tobacco and sugar 
 Representative Brundidge -" "D.d the United State Steel corporation do the work that your men should have done? Is that corporation supplying you with the information upon which to make a proper investigation"
 MT Smith-"Yes, sir; they furnish ed us with a lot of statistics h ro- gard to the cost of various kines of Then We have the right 10 go to their books and check the figures up. That has saved us a great deal of work and we get 1t in much better shape"
 MT Littauer-"They submit the figures for you to check up instead ,f your going to their books and tak- Ing them7"
 Mir Smith-"Yes. sir. Then we will l .ake up the whole steel industry, rot | merely the steel corporation, ard that | Will take lot of money"

I 'MEARA WANTS ID BE ]. REAL HEAD Of POLICE Boston Superintendent Has Issued a Statement Stating Just What He
 Expects MAYOR FITZGERALD WARNED Police Not Doing Their Best, Being Afraid of Unseen Political
 Forces.

Boston, June 25.-An admonish
 ment to Mayor John r. Fitzgerald that the police commissioner and not the mayor is the head of Boston DO lice department, together with a dec. laration that the present weakness of the department is due to the mems fear of unseen political forces is the essence of statement made public to-day by Stephen O'Meara, who was appointed three weeks ago by Gov Guild as the executive head of Bos- tons police force. Commissioner OMeara states that he makes defi- nite statement as to his attitude be- cause he has been led to feel that the mayor has sought in several concrete instances to exercise authority over the police. He says:
 The most subtle and dangerous weakness in Boston's police force is that it's members have long been in a state of doubt and anxiety as to the real seat of police power. They feel that if they move to enforce law, the approval even of their visible su- periors is not enough to protect them. They fear that from unseen sources, mainly political. in first will work to their personal disadvantage and to the injury of their prospects in the department. This condition of mind, caused doubtless by actual exper- fences, weakens their courage and cripples their efficiency"
 After pointing out that the mayor can exercise authority only in time of riot, or. other violent disturbance. Commissioner O'Afeara has declared that so long as the full authority of directing the police is with the con- missioner, he will resist every attempt ''even when made by so important an official as the mayor to order or to influence piecemeal either the mem- bers of the police department, or their police work"
 Several years ago the direction of the police of Boston was removed from the mayor by Legislative enact ment and given over 70 a commission to be named by the governor.

THE WORK OF LABOR Gompers is Making Arrangements to Have a Union Exposidon' at
 Minneapolis VIII pC LIFT n NEWT Nnyyr HsDrn
WILL BE HELD NEXT NOVEMBER

Chicago, June 25.-President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor sent representa- tiyes to Chicago yesterday to arrange for union exposition" The ob- ject of the fair is to celebrate the achievements of organized labor throughout the world and especially in the United States.
 Minneapolis tentatively has been selected as the place for holding this novel exposition, and it is probable 1t will take place next November, at the same time the convention of the national labor body is in progress in that city.
 Max Morris, fourth vice-president of the American federation of labor, who is in charge of the preliminary plans, explained that the exploitation |of union labor never has been at tempted on such a scale as President Gompers has in mind. The aim of Mir Gompers, he said, is to bring to- gether the products of union work ingmen in every branch of industry, to illustrate the superiority which is claimed for this class of goods, and also to demonstrate the growth of the union labor movement in the United tSates since It's inception six ty years ago.
 Some idea of the character of the projected exposition may be gained by the announcement that two mill Hon men, comprising the total mem bership of the American Federation of Labor. are expected to contribute to its success. Other countries also will be represented. There will be exhibits representing all of the in dustries in which union labor is in- terested.

The Light children, Ada, 2, and Green, years, over whose custodian ship so much has been said in the courts and elsewhere, were brought back here Saturday from the New England home for little wanderers, Boston. where they were placed by their father. who surrendered all fur ther charge over them, but decision of the court making the mother joint custodian with the father knocked out these arrangements and the boy and girl are back again in Water- bury. the girl stopping with the mother and the boy with the father. It was lively tilt and while it was on nobody. not even members of the bar. cared to wager much on the re- suit, although 1t was admitted from the outset that 1t was hardly fair to deprive the mother of the whole fam fly. Mrs Light thought that way her self and decided to give them a hus- tie before giving up all hope. To her own grim determination is due in measure the fact that the children are back from the Boston institution
