GOREMYKIN GOES.
The Russian Premier is Weak Sister
and is to be Ousted.

st. Petersburg, June S.-According
to reliable reports from Peterhof EN-
peror Nicholas has about decided to
retire Premier Gormykin. From the
first it was apparent to outsiders that
Goremykin did not possess the force
capacity or skill necessary to steer
the ship of state in the present crisis
and the emperor, who is extremely dis
satisfied with the premier's sorry
failure to make any Roadway toward
Impeachment with the lower house
of parliament, is now ready to sacri-
flee him. The emperor, however,
seems to be torn with conflicting coun-
sells. Few of his advisers are urging
him to make a frank surrender and
accede to the parliament's demands
for ministry from the opposition ma
jority. These influences are hardly
likely to prevail against the party
headed by General Trepoff which be-
lieves that no further concessions
should be made. The cabinet itself
under the leadership Of Kokovsof, min
lister of finance, and Stichinsky, min
lister of agriculture, rivals of Goremy-
kin, is in open rebellion and with the
support they are receiving from court
the rebels are confident of being able
to unhorse Goremykin.

ALL DAY CONFERENCE.
A Definite Result Not Looked For as Some

WASHINGTON, April l7.-There is un-
usual interest manifested among Republic
cans and Democrats in the conference of
Democratic Senators called to meet at Ii
O'Clock tomorrow morning to consider
the rate bill.
While the object of the conference is to
afford opportunity for an interchange Of
views on the rate question, NOBODY is bold
enough to predict any definit results, be-
cause OF the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the call.
Several Democrats declined 70 sign the
call, but will attend by invitation Of their
colleagues who did sign. The dissenting
Senators believe the question Of rate legis-
lation is not a party question. and should
not be treated as such. These Senators
and others decline to be bound by vhe con-
ference and have received assurances that
no effort will be put forward to pass any
resolution or pledge any individual Senator.
A variety of views will be represented in
the conference. Senator Bailey will en-
deavor to secure the adoption of his amend
ment f%orbidding the suspension OF a rate
pending judicial review, but the indications
are that he will fall short of securing any,
thing like unanimity of action.

ENJOYS representing both sides OF the Senate
Radicals are at work trying to bring abou
an agreement between DEMOCRATS and Re-
publicans on a basis Of limited court review,
such as is embodied in the amendment
proposed by Senator Lodge of Kansas.
But encouragement followed close upon
their efforts, when, at the conclusion OF the
~forceful speech Of Senator Foster OF Louisi-
ana, a Democrat, to-day, advocating the
broadcast possible court review, a number OF
Democratic Senators classed heretofore as
doubling declared they had been led to
adopt MIR. Fosters views.
1t is understood that Senator Carter Of
Montana has been intrdsted by the Presi-
dent with the delicate mission Of envoy
between the Republicans and Democrats
in the Senate in an effort to bring about
an understanding that will produce legisla-
tive results In accordance with the Presi-
dents views.
The conference tomorrow will occupy
most of the day. The Senate will be in
session only a brief time to permit the
Democratic Senators to have the fullest
opportunity for parley.
Senator La Toilette will address the
Senate on the rate bill Thursday, and Sem
ator Spooner will probably answer Mr..
Bailey on Friday.

DIR. CRAPSEY,S TRIAL PUT OFF.
Accused Minister'S Counsel Secures an Adj
Journment Until Next Wednesday.


BUFFALO, April Thames B. Perkins
# Rochester, counsel for the Rev. Dr..
Algernon S. Crapsey, the Episcopal min
lister charged with heresy, forced an adj
iournment of the trial until April rs when
the court met to-day at Batavia.
Mr.. Perkins wanted an adjournment to
the middle of June, that is, until after the
next meeting of the diocesan council. He
wr,ng the concession he gained from the
court by a threat to let the case go by de-
fault and appeal to the court of review,
intimating that a judgment against his
client by default would not carry the weight
of fairness and might be criticised.
The court met at II O'Clock and organized
with Walter c. Roberts of Corning, presi-
dent, and c. H. Boynton of Geneseo, clerk.
Judge Stafford f. Moth sat with the court
as it's legal adviser. John Lord O'Brien
of Buffalo represented the standing oom-
mittee.
President Roberts called the court to
order after a short formal invocation. Mr..
O'Brien moved the trial of DR.. Crapsey on
the ground that he had denied the divinity
of Christ, the miraculous conception and
the birth of Christ and the trinity.
MIR. Perkins then read DR.. Crapsey's
answer, In substance il admits the author
ship of the statements in the book Religion
and Politics. quoted in the p~resentnlept,
but declares they should be read with the
context. 1t denies statements attributed
TO DIR. Crapsey in a sermon last December
and denies that he violated his ordination
vows. The answe also raises a question
of Jurisdiction of the court and Of the COM
mittee that prepared the charges.
MIR. Perkins then asked for the adjourn
ment to the middle of June. His reasons
were, first, his wi convenience, AZ his
duty called him to Washington; second
lack of time to prepare a defence, the pre-
sentiment being filed only thirty-fve days
ago; third, the inability Of his associate
Counsel, Edward NJ. Shepard Of New York,
TO be present.
The court stood four to n against a post
ponement. The court also denied the APP
plication for a change Of place OF trial to
either Buffalo or Rochester. Mr., Perkins
then threw up his hands and said he would
have to let the case go by default, and after
some argument the court agreed to an
adjournment of seven days.

MOB STILL .MENACES HINDBER.
Drunken Miners Try to Dynamite Church
Driven BACK With WInchesters

WINrBEk, Pa, April 1.-THE riots OF
last night, when three men were killed and
a score wounded, did not put the enemies
of the Berwind-White Company in a good
humor, and more bloodshed was averted
only by the presence Of a score Of Deputy
Sherifs, twenty members OF the Stat
constabulary and 200 private detectives
from Pittsburg. Each of these men is
armed and has orders to shoot first and
ask questions later.
The rioters, filled with liquor, were march
ing on st. Johns Catholic Church with
the intention of destroying it with dyna-
mite when the deputies helped the con
stabulary to drive them back. Father
Saas had angered the miners by sermons
urging them to return to work.
The streets are patrolled by members
of the constabulary and private detectives,
and no one is allowed to travel without
a permit.
Thirty Of the rioters who participated
in last night demonstration were ar
rested and are now in jail at Somerset.
Eleven of the rioters who were placed in
the little lookup here would have been
rescued by their comrades had not the con-
stabulary stood them of with Winohesters.
While the men. were being held up at the
front Of the lookup the prisoners were
hurried out OF the rear and taken across
country in carriages to Somerset.

would get their chance to land.
The steamship companies also are dis
satisfied. They are compelled to feed
thousands OF persons from two to three
days longer than they had calculated upon.
and they see their profits d%windling.
However, they are doing the best they
can for the immigrants and keeping a sharp
lookout that none of them gets ashore, be-
cause it costs $500 for each person allowed
to escape.
Yesterday boatmen did q thriving bust
ness along the waterfront in the vicinity
of the ships on which the immigrants are
detained. Relatives and friends of the
imprisoned ones rowed to the sides of the
ships, carrying with them baskets Of fruit
and provisions, which the men and women
on the ships hauled up with twine.
At night, in order that the immigrants
may get more fresh air, the ships were
sheered of from the docks as far as pos
sible from the sheds, and kept in position
in the slips by means Of long booms.

GOsLIN FORGED WOTHER's NANEa
Referee Concludes That He Swore TO n
Bogus signature.

The missing Alfred R. Goslin is accused
of perjury, if not Of forgery, by Stanley W..
Dexter, referee in bankruptcy, who rec
ommends the dismissal Of a petition in
bankruptcy Goslin filed a year ago against
Henry j. Robert, a lawyer. Goslin put in
Bernard Uhren as one creditor. Uhren
held an assignment of a mortgage for
S.. 900 guaranteed by Robert. The assign
ment purported to be made by Sophie
Mai chais lie Greve Of Paris. Goslin swore
that Mrs. lie Greve was his mother. that
Mr.. Robert handed him the instrument
when it was made, that Goslin mailed 1t
to his mother in Paris, and that she re-
turned it by mail with the assignment to
Uhren, which Goslin previously had dra wn
and sent to her for execution.
Subsequently Mr.. Robert offered In
evidence from the Registers Office, this
city, a bond and mortgage for 81 600 and
a satisfaction thereof acknowledged by
Mrs. lie Greve in Paris on July 20, 1904.
On a careful comparison of the signature
on this last instrument, says the report of
Mr.. Dexter, and the same signature on an
admitted letter of Mrs. lie Greve with the
assignment to Uhren, II was apparent
to Mr.. Dexter hat the signature to the
assignment was written by another hand
swore falsely when he testified that 1t was
his mothers signature. Mr.. Dexter says
he is satisfied that the bond in question
never left Goslin's possession and that the
purported assignment was a forgery.

f. Hughes, who was chief counsel for the
Armstrong insurance investigating COM
mittee, Mr.. Hughes has agreed to under
take the work. Alexander Simpson, Jr..
will be associated with Mr.. Hughes. The
announcement was made in the following
statement Of Acknowledgement Moody this
afternoon:
Charles F.. Hughes, ESQ, OF the New
York bar and Alexander Simpson, Jr..
Of the Pennsylvania bar have been retained
by the Department Of Justice to a k under
consideration all the facts now known,
or which can be ascertained, relating to
the transportation and sale of coal in inter-
state commerce.; to advise what, il any,
legal proceedings should be begun, and to
conduct, under the direction of the Attor-
ney-General, such suits or prosecutions,
if any, as may be warranted by the evidence
in hand and forthcoming.
The general subject for some time has
been under consideration by the Depart
ment. 1t ia believed that sufficient EVIL
dence has been developed In the investiga-
tons of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and otherwise to warrant the en-
ployment Of counsel under the provisions
of the appropriation act Of February rs,
1908, authorizing the employment Of special
counsel and agents in proceedings of this
nature.
AN important element in arriving at
this conclusion is the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court in Hale VS.. Henkel, holding
that the Federal Government has the right,
under legal proceedings, to examine the
books and records Of corporations engaged
in interstate commerce.

MAY SET JOHN n. WALSH FREE.
Alleged That All Supposed Illegal Acts Had
the Sanction OF hank Directors.

CHICAGO, April 17.--Charges that the
Chicago National Bank directors either
owned the railroads supposed to have been
John r. Walsh's individual property, or at
least held a connection with them so close
as to be illegal, were made to-day from two
sources.
In the Senate at Washington Senat or
Tilman spoke OF the close relation OF the
bank to the railroads.
The same charge was made in Walsh's
voluminous defence, which is now being
secretly studied by District Attorney Nor
rison.
An attache Of the District Attorneys
office said that If 1t was found to be true,
as alleged by Walsh, that the Chicago Ma
tional Bank directors were the real owners
of the railroads., the criminal prosecution
against Walsh would be dropped.
The Governments case, under Section
5000 Of the Federal stat ties, rests on the
swilful intent" of the defendant. If it
cannot be shown that Mr.. Walsh wilfully
intended to defraud by making false re-
ports to Washington tGere will be no case
against him.
Should the Government discover upon
an investigation Of the sixty page state
ment Of Mr.. Walsh that all of his acts in
regard to the charges made against him
had the sanction OF the directors of the
Chicago National Bank the "wilful intent"
feature Of the Walsh indictment would fail.
There could be no prosecution except
against all of the directorate, and then it
would have to be shown that each member
"wilfully intended" to defraud. In the
latter event it would be a case popularity
known as poor financial judgment" II

MISSING BOY FOUND.
His Mother. Who Lives Apart From His
Father. Has Him Safe.


Prentiss Christian, the eight-year-old
son of Harry F.. Christian of Indianapolis,
who dropped out of sight after starting
for Sunday school in that city last Sunday,
was found by a reporter yesterday at the
home of his mother, Mrs. Mary Jeffr,es
Christian, 418 East Twelfth street, Brooklyn.
The hoy Is in good health and apparently
happy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Christian have been sepa-
rated for some time, and until last Sunday
the boy lived with his father. The best
efforts of the police of indianapolis failed
to trace Prentiss after he disappeared.
The first news of the boy reached Mr..
Christian on Monday, when he got a tele-
gram from his wife stating that Prentiss
was safe with her. The telegram puzzled
the police as the boy did not leave nome
until 0 O'Clock Sunday morning, and the
Union Station officials in Indianapolis said
that no train left for New York after that
hour on Sunday by which the child could
have reached his mother at the time the
telegram was sent.
The police figured that Mrs. Christian
had carefully planned the kidnapping
and arranged to send the telegram as soon
az she was notified that her plans had been
ca rTied out successfully.
When seen yesterday Mrs. Christian
refused to discuss the details OF the kid
mapping. She admitted sending the tele-
gram, and said that although she was I'M
willing that Mr.. Christian should keep the
boy she didn't want him to worry. She
said that although she had separated from
her husband there was no divorce, and
that the question OF the custody of the child
had never been decided in the courts.
