Contrary 10 Public Morality
and Common DeCeRCy."
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS IT'S
WRONG WHETHER LEGAL OR NOT
Arguments Concluded and Court Re-
serves Decision in Matter Of
Perkins Habeas COrpuSWrit,

New York, Mar. 30.-Arguments on
the habeas corpus proceedings in the
case of George w. Perkins, former
vice president of the New York Life
Insurance company who is charged in
a warrant issued by Magistrate Moss
with the larceny of $4S,702 belonging
to policy holders of the New York
Life, which he advanced to Cornelius
N, Bliss, treasurer of the republican
national committee, were made today
before Justice Greenbaum in the
state supreme court. Decision was re-
served. Briefs will be filed Monday by
Icontending counsel, and then Justice
lGreenbaum will take the matter Of
the legality of Mr.. Perkins arrest un-
der advisement
District Attorney Jerome argued for
the prosecution and former Judge
fWilliam n. Cohen and Lewis Delafield
appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Jerome said that criminal in
tent according to legal authorities,
was to appear from all the circum-
stances of the case. 'Shall the Off
GERS of corporation" he asked, cor
single officer say. take the money
of the policy holders, take your and
my money and give it to a political
party? I say that such an act is in
herently wrong, whether it is prohih-
tied by law or not | say that it is
contrary to public policy, contrary t.
public morality and contrary as well
to private morality and common de-
cency Half of the policy holders may
have been democrats and to take their
money to assist the republican party
certainly goes to the establishment Of
felonious intent"
Drawing a parallel in justification
of the payment of money to the re-
publican campaign committee Judge
Cohen said that President John A. Nc
| Call, of the New York Life company,
had at different times directed the
payment Of large sums OF morey for
| the relief of the Johnstown food suf-
ferers and for use in a yellow fever
epidemic in New Orleans These pay
ments may have been outside the
vested authority of the president, he
said, but surely not Illegal; certainly
very far from criminal.

To MASSACRE
MORE JEWSA7
EASTERT|DE
Police VIII Lei Loose the
BLACK Hundreds"
APPEAL MADE TO RUSSIAN
PEOPLE TO PREVENT CARNAGE

ST. Petersburg Mar 30.-The League
of Russian Writers has issued an ap-
peal to the Russian people to unite
in the name of their cOnsciences and
self-respect to prevent the Jewish
massacres which, they claim, are be-
yond doubt being prepared in south
western Russia for Eastertide. The
appeal says that 1t is not fancy, but
fact that the police gendarmes are
arranging to let loose the Black Hun
dredsupon membersof the poor help
less race. 1t recalls that the Kishi-
neff Gomel and Odessa anti-Jewish
outrages were committed at the insti-
cation Of Minister of the Interior
Plehve, Chief of Police Neidhardt and
Count Podgorichanie, chief or the gen.
darmerie of Gomel. Just as in the
past times st. Bartholomew days
were arranged by agents of the gov
ernment, the appeal declares, the re.
cent proclamations emanating from
the printing office of the police mast
er at st. Petersburg, and that of the
military staff at Odessa leave nc
doubt that the authorities are privy
to the present propaganda.
The league of writers claims tc
hold proof that massacres have beer
planned to take place at Alexandrovsk
Minsk. Brest-Ltovsk, Rostov-on-Dor
and Krementchug.
The appeal asks how long the Rus.
sian people will remain idle specta.
tors of an infamy which brings the
shame of the world upon the nations

That Mrs. Crossons mind Is seri-

other people in the South Grand
avenue house were awakened this
morning by mysterious chantings and
weird words which Mrs. Crosson be-
gan to utter shortly after daybreak.
An ambulance was summoned, bu-
while waiting for its arrival women
entered the room and compelled Mrs.
Crosson to don street garments. She
struggled and insisted that she should
be let alone to await the coming OF
her spirit husband. Slipping from
the friendly hands she tore the sheets
from the bed wrapped her body In
them and clasping her hands on
her breast laid down on the floor and
announced hAr readiness to pass into

BY French Miners.
THIRTEEN TAKEN OUT OF
MINE BLIND AND HALF DEAD
Lived on Flesh Of Dead Horses Amid
Human Corpses in Total
Darkness,

Lens, France, Mar 30,-The disas-
ter at the Courrieries coal mines had
a startling sequel today when thir-
teen miners were taken out alive af-
ter having endured unspeakable hor-
rors during twenty days of entomb-
ment. The story of the survivors so
far as ii has been told discloses that
they lived for many days on putrid
horse meat amid total darkness and in
the stencil from scores of decaynS
corpses. The presence of human flesh
would speedily have forced the starv-
ing men to resort to the last desperate
extremity if they had not been res
cued
The survivors were sturdy young
miners from II to 20 years of age. eX-
cept their leader, Henri Nemy, who is
SO years old. All show the terrible
effects of their experiences being en-
aciated and blinded Their rescue
caused a temporary nervous lucidity
during which they greeted their rela-
tives and graphically related their
Isufferings The doctors then enforced
quiet upon them, fearing the results
of fever and poisoning from their hav-
ing eaten decayed horsefesh.
There were touching scenes as
wives and mothers greeted those
whom they had long given up as dead.
Crowds besieged the hospitals to
which the men were taken, cheering
the survivors and imprecating the in
effective nature of the salvage work
that followed Immediately after the
disaster.
The rescue Of these thirteen men re-
vived hope in many families that 9TH
ers are alive, and relatives of those
whose bodies have not been recovered
Iclamorously demanded that efforts be
redoubled to bring out any possible
survivors.
There is a report that in addition
to the thirteen men VINO were brought
tup out of the mine today, there were
five others who came with them al
most to the bottom of the pit but
were unable to come further on ac-
count of exhaustion
The total number of men missing
after the catastrophe was f,212. The
bodies recovered approximately num-
bered $40, and there are still unac-
counted for approximately 700,
The engineers explain that some
smolderinp fires prevented them from
lexploring the remote passages of the
mine, where it was thought there
could be no survivors. The mine own
ers also claim that the strike Of mi
ners reduced the number of rescuers
available. Many engineers and sci
entists agree that all in the mine must
have died long ago. Engineer Laur
| however, dissents, asserting that the
salvage work has been deplorably in
efficient and he believes that scores
have died of exhaustion owing to the
poor work of the salvage companies.

ORCHARD ADAMS CONFESSION
Declares "UnIawfuI Extradition and
Brutal kidnapping" Doesn't Look

Washington Mar. 30.--President
Gompers of the American Federation
of labor has declined the invitation
extended to him and to President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America by Governor Gooding, of
Idaho, to appoint a committee to
meet at Pocatello April II, to inves-
tigate conditions growing out of the
charges of conspiracy between the
state officials and mine owners to pun
ish innocent men for the assassina-
ton of Governor Steunenberg.
Governor Gooding referred to the
confession of orchard and Adams
President Gompers tonight telegraph
ed Governor Gooding as follows;
Surely, if Orchard and Adams can
not give the details of their confess
ion, what benefit can result from Mr.
Mitchell and my hearing their general
statement? In any event such state
ments would only be ex-parte without
cross examination and without being
confronted with the accused men. The
justification for the general suspicion
lies in their unlawful eXtradition and
brutal kidnapping from their homes
and states"

BTTUNIINOUS OPERATOR
PROPOSES ARBITRATION PLAN

Washington, Mar. 30.-President
Roosevelt today authorized the publi-
cation of kilograms received last night,
one from John w Winder, chairman
of the Bituminous Coal Operators
association at Indianapolis and the
other from Mitchell and Francis L..
Robbins. The telegram from Winder
proposes the president appoint a
commission to investigate all matters
bearing on the scale of wages which
should be paid coal miners in the ter
ritory involved. He proposes the COM
mission report to the president its
findings of the facts together with re-
concentrations and suggests the COM
mission have power to administer
oaths and compel the attendance Of
witnesses. The telegram signed by
Mitchell and Robbins takes issue with
the statement made in Winder's tele-
gram saying it does not represent the
real facts. They assert one half the
total tonnage of western Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio Indiana and Illinois is pro-
duced by operators willing to pay the
compromise scale. The president has
taken no action in the matter yet.

MIR. ROBBINS WILL OPERATE
STRIKE OR NO STRIKE

Pittsburg, Mar. 30.-The general
sentiment in the Pittsburg district of
the bituminous coal field tonight bas-
ed upon the news of the action of the
miners convention at indianapolis, is
that, while a strike is now inevitable,
in western Pennsylvania at least 1t
will be short of duration. BY the adpp-
ton of the resolution permitting mi
ners to sign the 1903 wage scale
wherever it is offered by the opera
tors, the way is opened for the oper-
alton of the western Pennsylvania
mines. SO per cent of which are con-
trolled by the Pittsburg Coal COM
pany. Dispatches tonight from va
rious points where there has been
trouble announce the restoration of
the 1903 scale and the intention of the
striking miners to return to work
Monday morning under that scale.
Francis L. Robbins, chairman Of the
executive board of the Pittsburg Coal
company, has been foremost among
the operators in the movement to re-
store the 1903 scale and it is now
practically assured that this company
will operate its mines, strike or no
strike. 1t is expected, however, that
thirty days suspension at least will
be called in this district.

Cool summer nights are the
rule in North Dakota and give
opportunity for refreshing sleep.
The average annual mean
temperature for the state is 1914
degrees, but very little less than
St. Paul in southern Minnesota,
while Western North Dakota is
warmer.
Several stock men in Stark
county are breeding Angora
goats. 1t is claimed that the
mohair grown in North Dakota
is exceptionally long and of un-
usually fine texture.
Carpenters and masons and
other outdoor laborers lose fewer
days in North Dakota than in
states with a more humid atmos-
phere.
Sunshine is a feature Of North
Dakota. The state leads in the
percentage of clear, sunny days.
Land in North Dakota costs
less than one years rental in the
east and a few years crops and
stock raising pays for the land.
Lumber will soon be out of the
running for building material and
then the clay beds of Stark and
other counties in the state will
build up most important in
dustries.
The average value of North
Dakota land is s. per acre. 1t
will produce as much and as good
wheat, flax, and other grains and
vegetables and raise as good, or
better horses, cattle and sheep as
high priced eastern land, while
the investment and taxes are
much less.
In the east the farmer who,
after twenty or more years of
hard work., owns his farm, build
ings, stock and machinery and
perhaps has a little money in the
bank is accounted successful. In
western North Dakota most of
the farmers who came to the
country with nothing six or
eight years ago, now own from
100 to $40 acres Of land, build
ings, lots of stock and more
machinery than their eastern
brothers, and are worth from
$1,000 to $4,000.
North Dakota is a good place
for a man who has children to
educate. In 1905. the revenue
derived from state school lands
was 1896 per capita. This when
the school lands are just beginning
to be valuable!
The estimated hay crop of 1905
was 100000 tons, a large portion
of it cut from native grasses.
"Chinooks"-winds warmed by
the Japan current--sweep

Minnesota, the copper mines in
Montana, the forests of Washing

have been worked out, the farms
