SHAW LAMBAsTs THE CRITICS.
Should Make a Barefooted Pilgrimage
 or Shoot Themselves.

George Bernard Shaw tells the Lon- don correspondent of the New York Sun that he Is grateful for the de- cision of the court In the Mrs War ren's Profession" case. He says the blame for the agitation lies in the hands of the New York critics. The Irish playwright is thus quoted:
 The entire blame for the agita- tion against Mrs Warren's Profes- sion lies in the hands of the New York critics. Their stupidity, inhu- manity and scurrilous and obsence language in dealing with the play drove the poor, wretched little police commissioner to steps he was reluc- tant to take. No words of mine are adequate to describe my feelings toward these critics. They should all be gathered in dustpan and thrown into a dust heap-Had they any sense of decency they would make bare footed pilgrimage somewhere and shoot themselves. but don't suppose they will.
 '.I do not consider the decision of the court complete unless 1t contains a recommendation for the imprison- ment of all the editors and critics of the New York press who were re- spons.ble for bringing about this agi- tation. The remainder of my life will be devoted to forcing home their dis graceful attitude in this matter. With thousands of women in New York under the adverse influences with which I deal. they had splendid op- portunity of aiding the work: but their stupidity was too great to per- init them to see other than sensa- tional phases. In their ostrichlike dullness they imagine they know more about the subject than I do. but when say thing Is so no sane person will accept their word against mine-"

GOVERNOR PARDONED
 THE PRISONER But Nc Would Not Be Allowed to Leave the County and Is
 Again a Prisoner.
REFUSED TO GO ON THE SHIP.
Carried on Bodily, Ship. Surgeon Pronounced Him Insane and
 Refused Him Passage.

Providence, R. T., July 9.-Al- though he has been pardoned by Governor George H. Utter, officially discharged from the state prison, and started on his way to Italy, Pedro Jaswell, a convicted murderer, is once more behind the prison bars hcre to-day. and the state prison au- thorities are in quandry as to the final disposition of the man. When Jaswell was released last Saturday 1t was intended that he would be shipped to Italy on board the White Star liner Romanic, but upon his ar- rival in Boston the pardoned prisoner refused to go on board the steamer. When he was carried bodily to the deck of the steamer by the prison guards, assisted by several policemen, fifteen minutes before sailing time, the ships surgeon interfered and de- clared that the man could not sail because he was insane. The captain of the steamer supported the surgeon and the prisoner and his guards were put ashore. They returned to Provi- dence and Jaswell was locked up in the prison from which he had been released. Warden Wilcox says he is without authority to hold the man, but he does not know what to do with him, Governor Utter having pardoned him with the understanding that he would be sent to Italy and placed in . hospital for the criminal insane.
 Jaswell was sentenced to life im- prisonment on May [. 1901. for the murder of George Collins at Rum ford. Jaswell does not desire to re- turn to his native land, but wishes to settle in New York state.

LEADING MAN GOING.
Richard Gordon Not in Favor Here
 Stock Co at Polls.

esSSN " Ss = VA ss
 A large crowd was on hand to-day when the doors were opened at Polls | theatcr at which the Poll Stock com- pany which has been showing at Jacques will appear for the remaind- CT of the season.
 As Jacques theater is to be re- modelled and the seating capacity en- larged before the opening of the vau- deville season in September, the com pany which has been at Jacques since the close of the variety season had to move to the house on East Main street. The company seems to be mak- ing as much of hit this year as last and all the performances have been well attended.
 It is said Richard Gordon, who has been the leading man of the compa- ny, will sever his connection with the troupe inside of two weeks. It leading man have not been on the best of terms and to make matters worse one or two members of the company seem to be sore on Gordon. So as not to have a repetition of the Earle Simmons affair last year, Cor don has decided to quit the company since everything Is not, running smoothly and has given Lawrence McGill, so it Is said. his two weeks notice before retiring. The trouble this year, although not as serious as last when Earle Simmons, the lead- ing man, was given trimming by the stage hands, is much the same and might have terminated in the same manner if Gordon has decided to stay.

RED FLAGS CARRIED
 AND SONGS SUNG The ReYolutionistS Were Busy in Many Places in Russia
 Yesterday POLICE AND MILITARY BUSY An Officer Gives Revolutionary Talk Mob Drove Off Police
 With Stones.

St Petersburg, July 9.-Political demonstrations during which the crowds carried red flags and sang revolutionary songs, occurred in many places in St Petersburg yes terday afternoon and night. necessi- tating the interference of the police and military patrols.
 Street cars were held up and their occupants were compelled to uncover and salute the red flags. The most serious affair happened near the Mos- COW railroad station, where an officer later identified as Lieutenant Tom, made revolutionary speech to a crowd of 2,000 persons. A detach- ment of police attempted to disperse the assemblage but the people armed themselves with stones dug up from the streets and beat off the police and a squadron of cossacks. Event ually the cossacks were reinforced and fired blank volley in the air, whereupon the rioters fled to neigh boring courts. Only few persons were slightly injured. Lieutenant Tom was arrested and taken to the fortress.
 A meeting which was addressed by orators from a window of the consti- tutional democratic club was dis persed by mounted gendarmes, dur ing which several persons were ance at the peoples palace was brok- en up, the audience singing the "Marseillaise" as they dispersed.
 The guards on the mail wagons are now armed with rifles, owing to the increasing number of attacks made upon those vehicles. Six more news papers of this city have been confls- cated.
 Landlords from the provinces where agrarian disorders are occur ring are fiocking into Moscow and St Petersburg, appealing for troops to protect their property, without which they declare 1t Is impossible for them to live on their estates. Some of the papers regard General Trcpoff's announcement In favor of a ministry composed of constitutional democrats as a sham deathbed repen- tance designed to give the emperor and court breathing spell, while others consider it to be confirma- tion of the report that Trepoff has fallen from favor and is trimming his sails to the prevailing breezes.
 The holy synod has issued strict instructions forbidding the printing establishments of monasteries from publishing political tracts or in any way taking sides in the present strurple,

GAGE MAKES STATEMENT
Doubts the Wisdom ofk But Still He Makes One For His Own Satisfaction
HIS RELATION TO THEOsOPHY

Chicago, July 9.-The Tribune to- day publishes a signed statement from Lyman J. Gage, former secre- tary of the treasury, defining his re- lation to theosophy. The statement is as follows:
 Point Loma. Gala, via San Diego, Gala, July 9.
 "I doubt the wisdom of making ex- plantations of any kind through the press. Life is too short to spend 1t chasing up sensational or false re- ports, and have always refused so to act. One must rest for defense upon the confidence and respect which one deserves to enjoy in the minds of his friends.
 However, in response to your cour- teOus suggestion that set right the many inaccurate stories relating to my coming to this place from Califor- nia, my alleged relations to theosOpry, etc, make this statement once for all.
 Having passed my seventieth birth. day, l claim the privilege of with drawal from the struggles of business life. At the end of the school year some time is profitably spent in the re- view of what has been studied. In graduating from lifes long school term q similar course seems excusable, if not desirable.
 T am trying this life at Point Loma because have personal friends here; because the climate is most agreeable; because 1t is just outside of the rush and roar of the world; because here one can lead the simple life.
 Beyond these reasons there are two institutions established which to me lend much interest to the place. The first Is the United States military res ervntion, with its fine system of har- bor defenses, its companies of artil- lerymen, etc. The second is the Raja Yoga school for children and youths of all ages.
 This school was established and Is being carried on by Katherine Ting ley as leader and official head of the universal brotherhood and theosophi- cal society throughout the world. The school excites my interest, and the magnificent work it is doing in the de. NciOphAeHt VI SiCuA, H0oitAys WEI Su- ucated, and self controlled young lives stimulates my hope for the future of the society.
 Il am not affiliated except in this friendly way either with the military station or the theosophcal society. am too old to enlist in the army and I have not yet been invited to join the theoeophists. would consider 1t honorable to be related to either of them.
 No I am just living my own life ac- cording to my best conception of 1t, and would much enpoy 1t if could be left to mind my own business.
