Being Compelled to Beat

Kerson Ninety-seven peasants
were tried here on Tuesday on the
charge of devastating the estate Of
M Kriyoshein, formerly minister of
railroads. Sixty-three were sentenced
to Imprisonment, while thirty-four
were acquitted The trial brought
out a recital of the horrible atrocities
committed by the authorities upon
the accused. The chief of the dis
trict, accompanied by detachment
of Cossacks, reached the estate soon
after the devastation. All the peas
ants on the ground were at once gath
cred in No investigation was made.
The chief invited priests to admins
ter the last sacrament to the prison
ers and then ordered the Cossacks to
beat them all to death. The butchery
lasted for four hours. The Cossacks,
then thoroughly tired out, compelled
the peasants to continue f1ogging each
other, and men had to beat their own
brothers, sons and fathers. The vic
Tins of this slaughter were innocent,

Secretary of War Issues Proc

Head of Government
President Palma Expresses Relief at
Shifting the Burden of Guiding
the Tempestuous Republic,
While the Masses are
Utterly Indifferent

Havana.-With far less ostentation
government of Cuba was formally
taken over on Saturday by William H.
Taft, secretary of war of the United
States, who, in a proclamation cloth
ed in a kindly and diplomatic Tone
indicative of the policy he would pur.
sue, declared himself provisional
governor of the island. Promptly at
noon Governor Taft, Assistant Secre-
tary of State Bacon and Captain Nc
Cook, Governor Taft's aide-de-camp,
called officially at the palace and paid
their respects to the retiring presi'
dent. Ignoring President Palma's
message to congress on Friday, in
which he wrongly interpretated the
mission of the American mediators,
Governor Taft spoke kindly to Senior
Palma, to whom, he said, the people
of Cuba owed an unquestionable debt
of gratitude. President Palma's brief
reply was devoted entirely to an ex-
preston of relief for the opportunity
of shifting the burden of guiding the
tempestuous republic to the represen-
tatives of nation strong enough to |
enforce control over it.
The fact that the government has
changed hands, from position of abb
solute independence to the restraint
of temporary protector, ETC., was re-
ceived by the masses with utter indif-
ference. Most of the refined and
thoughtful Cubans, while they feel
certain sensativeness over the loss of
the islands sovereignty, are inclined

OLD WOODEN STEAMER
GOES DOWN IN STORM
City Of Concord Goes to the Bottom OF
Loke Erie, Near Huron, Ohio,
and Three Of the Crew
Are Lost.

Cleyeland.-The old wooden steam
or City OF Concord. having three barges
In tow, went down Saturday night in
the storm on Lake Erie off Huron, o.
Three OF the crew OF twelve were
drowned. The otner mine, after ter
rible experience in their yawl boat,
landed at Cedar Point at o'clock Sun
day morning and walked into Huron
seven hours later in an exhausted con-
dition.
The City of Concord was built
thirty-eight years ago, but, notwith-
standing her age, her captain, Charles
McEacheran, of Buffalo, put out of this
harbor In the face of the high wind
Saturday night with three barges in
tow. For several hours she was able
to proceed only few miles from port.
In spite Of the increasing storm she
made no effort to return to this har-
Dor, but late in the afternoon steamed
westward. That was the last seen of
the vessel until the news of the sink
ing reached here. Nothing definite
has been received as to the fate of the |
barges, and 1t is feared that some of |
them have gone down.

Washington. President Roosevelt
discussed freely on Tuesday with his
cabinet and with individual callers,
among whom were Senators Knox and
Foraker, the present situation In Cuba
and its temporary occupation by the
American forces. The matter was
talked over at the cabinet meeting,
but no definite announcement of the
result OF the deliberations was given
out. The president related to the cab

whom he talked that the action taken
by the American government was des.
tined solely for the benefit of the peo-
pie OF the island with view to the
complete restoration of order there
and the protection of all interests. He
declared that he had no such motive
In view as the possible annexation of
the island by the United States. What
he wanted now was that the Cubans
should be given another chance at
selfgovernment.

arise, no extra session of congress will

ADVISES WOMAN TO BITE
Italian Sonora Fails to Have Coun@
tryman Fined for His
Teneritv

Sonora Carmelo Catalina, a corpulent
denizen of the Italian quarter, was un-
able to substantiate her accusations
against Raphael Belino yesterday in the
police court and Assistant City Prose-
cutor Eddie was compelled to dismiss
the complaint which charged disturbing
the peace.
Since the trouble on April 1 Sonora
Catalina had apparently forgotten the
language used by the defendant and
about the worst thing that she coI'd
remember was that he told her to go
and bite your elbow"
Although the phrase might have hld
peculiar significance in Italian, 1t did
not impress Justice Chambers very
forcibly.
Through an interpreter Sonora Car
melo stated that she was bringing her
aged goat to it's accustomed grazing
place near her home at 1911 Lemon
street when Belino came out from her
yard in a towering passion.
She said he bit his fingers, danced
up and down and spat furiously upon
the ground. In the meantime she was
anxiously inquiring what had disturbed
his usual serenity.
1t was then that he told her to go
and bite her elbow.
After hearing several witnesses, who
became badly tangled, the prosecuting
attorney moved to dismiss the case.

SEVENTEEN PATROLS WILL
COME IN FIESTA WEEK
BIGGEST DELEGATION SINCE THE
SEVENTIES
Saturday Driving Matinee Arranged
for Visitors-Mrs. Routzahn's Inde=
fatigable Work for Eastern Star
"Bears Fruit" in Floral Parade

With seventeen patrols in line, as
representing that many temples, the
Shriners promise the biggest patrol
delegation that has been known at any
meeting of the imperial council since
"c2e organization of the Shrine in 1876.
Among those who are to come are
Moslem of Detroit, ten from Winnipeg,
Man; Arrarat from Kansas City, Mo,
and Bedina of Chicago, These are said

ranged for Saturday afternoon, May IL,
and following a parade of handsome
vehicles and thoroughbred horses there
will be single and double races such as
will attract all who will enjoy racing.
Mrs. Routzahn, grand matron of the
Eastern Star chapters, has been indie
fatigable in her efforts to interest the
various chapters in the floral parade.
She has been so successful that only
two chapters have not been heard from,
and one of those that will take part
has entered a tallyho and two automo-
biles.
1t has been arranged by the Massa-
chusetts society to have tallyho in
the parade. Many others of the state
societies have taken up the matter and
they will send in entries later.
DIR. A. Jarvis Barlow, chairman OF
the floral parade committee, is working
day and night for it's success. The de-
tails are all worked out and he is con-

OIL KING SUES FOR
RECOVERY OF TAXES
PAYS EXCESS TO ASSESSORS BUT
UNDER PROTEST
Controversy Hinges on American Pc
troIeum Stock, on Which in the
Suit He Declares There Is No
Tax

e. L. Doheny, one of the best known
oil men in Los Angeles, has brought
action against the county of Los An
geles to recover $3.50, which he alleges
is the amount he paid in excess of his
just taxes
Mr.. Doheny, in his complaint filed in
the superior court yesterday, states
that in June last a deputy assessor
called upon him and that he gave a
statement showing that his real prop
erty was valued at $14,5O0, with i'm
proVements valued at $23, 400 and per-
sontal property $42, 2,730.
The assessor then demanded that he
make a statement of the stock which
he owns in the Mexican Petroleum
company. Mr.. Doheny alleges that he
stated at that time that he owned
1000 900 shares of the stock of the COM
pany but declares that he never for
mally nor legally made such a state
ment, claiming that he was not called
upon legally SO to do.
Pays Under Protest
When the assessment rolls were COM
pleted Mr.. Doheny was called upon to
pay $145S.42 which assessment included
the tax upon the Mexican Petroleum
company's stock, credited to the pos
session of himself and wife and placed
at valuation of $5O,OOO Mr.. Doheny
says he rendered, in writing, an offer
to pay to the assessors $9O3.42, his tax
on everything save the stock in ques-
ton. This offer was refused and he
then paid the amount in full under
protest,
His contention in the suit is that the
assessment of the stock in question is
Illegal; that the company is duly in
Il NF INN1f ffN. Ni
and that the name of the company is
the Mexican Petroleum Oil company
and not the Mexican Petroleum COM
pany.
Mr. Doheny presented a claim to the
board of supervisors on March 20 and
on April the claim was rejected. John
S. Chapman is Mr.. Doheny's attorney.
