Wisconsin Inspection Law Invalid

A dispatch from Madison, Wis.,,
says that Federal Judge Sanborn has
decided that the Wisconsin grain in
spection law passed in 1905 is invalid
as its real purpose was to regulate
interstate commerce. The court
holds that the primary purpose OF the
law is not to regulate the inspection
of grain and the conduct Of ware
houses in the state of Wisconsin and
the city of Superior, but rather to
interfere with. guard against and
destroy fraudulent system of inspec-
tion established by the state OF MIN.
pesota. He holds that the evidence
has established the fact that the
Minnesota system Is fraudulent. But,
not withstandlng this fact, he de-
clares it Is incompetent for the legis-
lature OF the state Of Wisconsin to
seek to destroy such system because
this act is aimed purely against a
system of interstate commerce to deal
with which is solely in the power OF
the federal government.

Suffering Chinese Not Neglected by
Relief Committees.

Washington, April 26.-The report
that suffering Chinese are being neg
lected at San Francisco was denied in
a telegram received at the war depart
ment from General Greeley. The dis
patch is as follows:
"I am greatly surprised to learn
from General Funston that the suffer-
ings of destitute Chinese are reported
to be in danger of neglect. Nothing
could be more contrary to the truth.
Arrangements have already been made
for conjoined action Of the civil and
military authorities to establish a
semi.permanent camp for destitute
Chinese, such camp to be located ad-
jacent to Fort Mason. It will be put
in the best possible condition for COM
fort and sanitation, the plans and
methods being endorsed by military
authorities and tentage supplied from
the same source. So far the citizens
committee and military authorities
have known no distinction of race, the
sole question being one of destitution
and practical relief. It would be par
ticularly unfortunate If the idea is
circulated that the National Red Cross
association is the only one which
treats without discrimination the des-
titute and sick in this city,

GAN FRANclscANs BEGIN RECON.
sTRUcTIoN OF THE CITY ON
A GREATER PLANE.
LARGE FORCE CLEARING The STREETS
ERECTION OF NEW BUILDINGS TO
BEGIN As SOON As THE
."
RUINS ARE COLD.

San Francisco, April 26.-A week
has passed since this city was visited
by an earthquake which laid low the
metropolis of the Pacific coast and
started a confagration unequaled in
the history of this country. Although
the ruddy glow of the dying embers of
the fire which devastated San Fran
cisco, made homeless 100000 people,
caused the loss of many lives and left
q black trail of utter desolation and
ruin in its wake, still nightly illu-
inmate the sky, the work of restora-
tion is already well under way, show
Ing a spirit unbroken, a courage un-
daunted and a determination seldom
equaled and which has never been
surpassed.
Plans for the construction of the
new buildings to replace those de-
stroyed by earthquakes and flames are
rapidly being drawn and work on some
of them will begin as soon as the ruins
of the old sites are cold. Many of the
new buildings planned are on larger
scale than those licked up by the
flames, giving promise that from the
ashes will rise a new San Francisco,
greater and more beautiful than the
old.
Streets Being Cleared of Debris.
In addition to the large force of men
and teams already at work about fifty
teams of government mules have been
put to work hauling away debris. Sev-
eral more streets have been cleared
for traffic, numerous street car lines
are ready for operation, while the re-
pairing of the water mains and the
work of restoration of the gas and
electric systems is making rapid head
way.
The exodus from the city continues.
All day a constant stream Of men,
women and children, afoot and on
every conceivable vehicle, wended
their way down Market and Mission
streets toward the ferries. A little
bundle on a stick carried over the
shoulder represented all the worldly
possessions of some; others had grips
and baskets and great many had
saved trunks and furniture. It is esti-
mated that 10000 people were fur
nished with free transportation to the
different parts of the state by the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail-
ways.
The relief work is now thoroughly
organized and rapidly becoming sys-
tematized. Many carloads of pro-
visions and supplies are being received
daily.

SEND CONTRIBUTIONS DIRECT.
Necessity for Working Through Red
Cross Has Passed.


Washington, April 26.-.In a procla-
nation issued during the day Presi-
dent Roosevelt urges the American
people now to send their contribu-
tions for the alleviation of the distress
in San Francisco directly to former
Mayor James D. Phelan, chairman of
the finance committee in San Fran
cisco, instead of to the American Red
Cross. The president pays high
tribute to the work accomplished by
the citizens committees of San Fran
cisco and indicates that the necessity
for working through the Red Cross
exclusively has passed.
In connection with the proclamation
the president authorized the publica-
tion Of telegram which he had sent
to Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco
acknowledging the receipt of a tele-
gram signed by the mayor, Judge Nor
row, eX-Mayor Phelan and others. In
the telegram the president quotes the
proclamation he had issued and then
adds to it as follows:
"1here was of course absolutely no
question that every sufferer would be
helped simply as sufferer by your
committees as soon as they were Or
ganized and action through the Red
Cross was simply to fill the gap until
your organization was perfected and
it would of course have been a dere-
LECTION of duty on our part if we had
not at once taken steps to see that the
gap was filed at time when it was
impossible for us to know how soon
you would be organized"

cossAcks IN BLOODY FIGHT.
Peasant Uprising Suppressed With
Brutal Slaughter.

Veronezh, Russia, April 26.-News
received here from the village of Die
witza, where it was announced that
Cossacks killed nineteen and wounded
fifty persons in suppressing peasant
disorders, shows that the trouble arose
when the peasants attempted to take
some grain from the municipal stores.
The guards protested and finally one
of them shot pregnant woman.
khereupon the peasants of the sur
rounding villages assembled with
axes. The guards fired repeated vol
'leys at the peasants, killing eleven
men. Cossacks finally came to sup.
port the guards and the peasants were
driven of. It is presumed that it was
during this conflict that the Cossacks
killed the nineteen peasants.

Los Angeles, CAL, April 26.-Com-
pared to the population it is now be-
lieved that in Santa Rosa the greatest
loss of life occurred from earthquake
and fire, even If that unfortunate city
does not lead in the actual number of
victims. In letter received here from
q former Los Angeles man the writer
says, in part:
"This town is in awful shape. There
is not a single brick or stone building
standing and scores of fine residences
are in ruins. Fire broke out In the
business district right after the shock
and burned dead and living alike.
There were three big three-story ho-
tells, but while all of them fell but one
took fire. From the St. Rose they took
out nine bodies during the day. They
found little girl in these ruins. She
was unhurt, but very hungry and
thirsty, having been buried four days
and nights. The timbers had lodged
so that they protected her. Cases of
this kind have been numerous. There
would undoubtedly have been great
many lives saved II they could have
been gotten out in the first twenty
four hours, but the task was SO great
1t was un impossibility."

/ States Land Office in. a Local
Contest Case. y .ssr.

The contest case of Richard S. Ed
wards vs.. Oliver S. Humes, involving
the northwest quarter Of 2S-fl43-eS
has been decided by the United
States Land Office at Bismarck, In
favor of Mr.. Humes, the claimant.
This contest as based on allegations
of non-resjdence and the testimony
showed that Humes after making bis
entry some years ago, continued to
20 to his land and STAYED thereon
from one to two week at time each
three or six months and that he
built a habitable house thereon and
cultivated and cropped seventy-one
acres. That during the time that he
was not upon the land he was con-
ductor on the Northern Pacific Rail-
road, and that he had planned going
to his homestead to remain continu-
ously, soon after filing, but owing to
the sickness of his wife, cause by an
accident while burning fire breaks
around the homestead and from
which accident she has never recOv-
cred. that he was unable to remain
continuously upon the land, but had
complied with the requirements as
best he could and pay the doctor bills
and support his family.
The evidence also showedthat some
s-weeks before the contest notice was
served Mr.. Humes had gone to the
homestead to reside and had built,
and thereafter moved his family in
accordance with such plans to the
homestead. where his wife was taken
violently i'll from the same old injury
and was necessarily taken away Tor
treatment.
Mr.. Humes IS much gratitied at
the decision in his favor altho he had
never doubted a favorable decision.
The decision will be OF much interest
to homesteaders who are compelled
to leave their land owing to sickness
OF themselves Of family as we'll as
those who cure any laches or non-res-
dence by commencing to live upon
and improve their homesteads before
