SURE OF HEARs1'S DEFEAT'
Secretary Taft Declares Hearst's EIec-
 tion Would be DeplOrnbIe.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 2S,-secretary of War Taft to-day freely discussed the gubernatorial campaign in New York state, declaring emphatically that he was certain of MT. Hearst's defeat. He said:
 "The election of Hearst would be a most deplorable thing. It would be nothing short of calamity, the effects of which would be felt far beyond New York state. For that reason 1 am es- peclally glad to be convinced that Hearst is going down to defeat. In a way, the campaign Hears is making is helping his opponent The class of vo- ters that Is generally hard to arouse is being stirred up and it will assist ma terially in accomplishing the over throw of Hearst In my opinion 1t is the thinking vote that will bring about the election of Hughes and the repudi- ation of Hearst and his methods"
 Secretary Taft stood firmly by his determination not to discuss other state issues. When the question of his endorsement for the presidency by the next Ohio state convention was pressed on the secretary he said:

 Job

Omaha, Oct. 2S.-The departure from Fort Robinson, Neb., to-day of four troops of the Tenth cavalry makes six teen troops of cavalry, a total of 7e5 orlcers and men, now en route to round up the band of renegade Ute Indians now supposed to be dn camp on Powder River, in Wyoming.
 Four troops of the Tenth cavalry un- der command of Major Grierson' are now in Wyoming near the Indian canp. while six troops of the sixth cavalry. 275 strong, from Fort Meade, S. D.. and two troops of the same regiment from Fort Keogh ninety strong, under con- mand of Colonel Alexander Rodgers are bound for that point, marching overland. Colonel Jacob A, Angus goes with the detachment which left Fort Robinson to-day and will be in com mand of the entire expedition. No move will probably be made against the Utes until all the forces are joined.
 Tt is hoped by the display of a strong force to overawe the Indians and pre- vent fight" said Major c. A. Moves. military commander of the Department of the Missouri. They are, however, we'll armed and very sullen, and it is hard to say what will happen. There are about $50 Indians in the party, in- cludlng women and children, but I do not think there are over 15O fighting men among them"

 Unnecessary but He VIII be Met More
 Than Half Way--State Laws said to
 Require Separate Schools for All
 OrientaIs.
 San Francisco, Oct. 2S.-''When Sec retary of Commerce and Labor Victor lMetcalf arrives to inquire into the ac- ton taken by the board of education of the city and county of San Francis co, in providing a separate school bor Japanese children, we will meet him more than half way" was the state- ment made to-day by President Aaron Altman of the board of education.
 The position taken by the board was for the best interests of the public schools of San Francisco, and in strict conformity of the state laws. We be- heved that the best interests of the schools should be subserwed by sending children of Japanese parentageto a sep- arate school If we have erred, and can be shown whereby we have done so, the board will be more than pleased to correct it's mistake if any has been made.
 Without receding from our position, the board holds that the fault, if any exists, is with the legislative body of f1Q state TT1 ;cto ,1.I. guage that particular section of tha state statutes under which the board acted states that all children of orien- tai percentage shall be placed in a sep- arate school The board would like to have the constitutionality of the stat- ute tested in the courts" City Superintendent Alfred Rnncon. | veri said the coming of Secretary Met calf was not necessary, as the seclusion of the Japanese from the schools pro- vided for white children is required by law.
 Many of the so-called Japanese school children said MT. Ronconverl, are men of twenty to twenty five years of age. They have no right to attend schools established for our boys and girls, and We would not allow white men of the same age to go to the | schools.
 These pupils are largely of the Jap anese servant class, working for their board and lodging. They are to be 1 commended for so working, but they are not entitled to go to schools with boys and girls.

 Before the fire there were between 400 and 800 Japanese students in the public schools.

BODIES TAKEN FROM LUTIN.
Six Leaks Found iu Hull-opinion as to
 Cause of Disaster

Bizurta, Tunis, Oct. 2S.-Six bodies of the crew of the French submarine boat Lutin were removed from the vessel to- day The Lutin sank off this port Oc- tober 16 with fourteen men and two off, cers on board. The work of removing the dead probably will not be complet- ed before Monday The bodies of Lieu tenant Fepoux, the vessels commander, and four men were found clustered amidships, six bodies were found in the stern and the others in the bow. All were in horrible condition owing to the action of acids. The only means of Identification was by objects found on the corpses. Most of the men were barefooted. The indications are that they met their death instantly.
 The opinion prevails that the Lutin tried to come to the surface too rapidly and that her stern consequently struck on the bottom. This caused rivets to start and plates to burst. Six leaks were found in the hull

THUNDER SToWLD AWAY.
Russian Police Unable to Recover Any
 of the s193,OOO.

or the $1OJ,OOO.
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 2S.-The plunder from the amazing robbery committed in this city yesterday, when a number of highwaymen got away with $193,00O from a wagon which was conveying the cash from the customs department to the state treasury, has been slowed away, apparently beyond the danger of recapture. The purpose of the intrepid bomb throwers, to pour coin into the impoverished coffers of the revolutton- ists, has thus been achieved.
 To-day the police dragnet gathered in twenty-one persons. Among these prisoners are other actors in the rob- bery, including the driver of the cab in which rode a woman whose part 1t was to carry the leather bags containing the booty to safety. A man who was with this woman in the cab has been captured and Identified. The woman herself was thought to have been cap tured i'll the person of gipsy whe looked like her. This occurrence gave rise to a story that the money had been recovered, but according to the latest information this story is denied Three customs officers, who were 1T charge of the vehicle conveying the cash at the time Of the robbery are un- der arrest. The investigations are be- ginning to point toward a conspiracy in the customs service. The house DOT ter, who was wounded in the shooting, has died.
