MAXIM GoRKY AT NEW YORK.
Russian Apostle of Freedom Is Here
in the Interests of
His Country.

New York, April lit do not know
how long or how short my stay in
this country will be, but of this am
sure, that while here, will try to do
something for my fatherland"
Surrounded by his friends, many Of
whom are political exiles themselves,
Maxim Gorky, the Russian novelist,
made this statement in his cabin on
board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
which arrived in port Tuesday evening
after a rough passage.
Gofky was accompanied by his wife,
and secretary, Mr.. Bousenine He is
a man Of 38, about five feet six tall.
His hair and his mustache are light,
his eyes are blue and his nose sharp.
He wore long black oyercoat over his
Russian blouse, high around his neck.
The Kaiser Wilhelm was boarded at
quarantine by large deputation Of
Russians representing many different
political parties. Chief among these
was Gorky's adopted son, who came to
this country a year ago. Gorky re
ceived them on the upper deck, with
his wife, and at the first moment
seemed quite overcome by the meeting
of SO many old friends. He gave out
the following statement for publica.
ton:
u apologize many times to the press
Of the free United States that 1 cannot
speak at this time. am very fatigued
and overwhelmed by the grandeur Of
the ocean. l will take a few days
rest and in two or three days 1 will
be delighted to receive the representa-
tives of the press. At this moment
however, I beg to be excused and give
you my hearty thanks for your well
come.'

An Only Daughter
Cured Of CONSUMPTION,

When death was hourly expected, all
remedies having failed, and DR.. FL.
James was experimenting with the.
many herbs of Calcutta, he accident
ally made a preparation which cured
his only child of consumption. His
child is now in this country, and en-
joying the best of health. He has
proved to the world that Consumption
can be positively and permanently
cured. The Doctor now gives this
recipe free, for two 2-cent stamps to
pay expenses. This herb also cures
Night Sweats, Nausea at the Stomach
and will break up a fresh cold in

COAL sTRIkE AFFEGTs ALL
Shortage is Felt BY Railroads and
Mills.
Local Flour Mills Have Only a
Limited Supply.
Northwestern Road ollows Exam
pie of the st. Louis.

4 ! 5 50 Z -
There is little telling where the dis
tress will end if there is to be q pro-
longed strike of the miners of coal,
even at this time Of the year when there
is little consumption of that mineral
for fuel.
w alter 4. Adams, district passen-
ger agent of the M. & st. u. road was
in the city last week and in conversa-
ton with him representative of the
ReYiew learned that his road had little
more than enough coal on hand to run
its trains for thirty days.
The Northwestern is more fortunate,
but even that road is cutting off it's
least used branches and many of the
short stub lines that have had the adj
vantage Of two trains day and some
that have had but one are educed
to one train and some have to depend
on the freights for their passenger ac-
commod ations.
In connection with this the flour mills
of the state and particularly those of
this city will begin to feel the effect of
the shortage within the next few weeks.
The New Ulm Roller mill has supply
that will last under the present system
of running, for little more than a
month and the Eagle mill has about
the same. At the present price of -four
and the slight demand there is for it,
neither of these mills can ford to pay
much of an increase for their fuel, even
if by so doing they were able to secure
it and the result here will be the same
as it will be in other parts of the state
and with other mills than Touring
mills, they will have to shut down,
men will be out of employment and
there will be as much distress as if all
were striking miners.
This condition brings us face to face
with the proposition that the govern
ment should control the necessities of
life and have the power to intervene in
behalf of the public which is affec-
ted by conditions now under the con-
troll of a few apparently disinterested
men.
With large strike fund at their
disposal and a determination to win
out in this affair there is little belief
that the men will be back to work until
they have exhausted their resources
and are forced back by the pangs Of
hunger.
Yesterday the management Of the M.
& st. =. road issued the following cir
cular letter:
"Our information is that the pro-
gress made toward a settlement be-
tween the8coal mining operators and
the miners is such that we can safely
resume the operation of trains Nos.
Is and 16 without jeopardizing more
important service at a later date. This
is to advise that unless developments
are such this week as to indicate a
more prolonged suspension of coal
mining than now seemsprob able, trains

Of Richmond Byers, the six year old
son of DR.. S. Z. Byers, a newspaper
man Of Seelyville, Ind, who was
stolen from his home, presumably by
a band of moving horse traders, near
~ two years ago. It is said that DR..
Byers has expended all his means in a
fruitless search for the little boy, and
now he makes an appeal to his breth-
rem of the newspaper profession. The
missing boy is of light complexion, a
small v shaped nick in the left ear,
sharp chin and narrow, projecting
forehead. He is. rather small for his
age andsis unusually bright and intel
ligent, talking in the manner of a boy
much older. It is his fathers theory
that the kidnapers took him for the
purpose of forcing him to begfo them.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The Herald calls attention again to
the approaching school election and the
necessity for electing TO memberships

material available. The election is to
be held early next month. Polling
places are 10 be opened in every NUM-
cipal ward, and one member of the
board for each ward is to be elected.
Nominating conventions will be held
this week.
1t seems certain now that the Demo-
cratic party, as a party, viii make no
nominations. Whether or not the Re
publican party will act as party re-
mains to be determined. There is 4
sentiment in favor Of calling together
conventions Of independent citizens, re-
gardless of party, for the purpose OF
nominating candidates in opposition to
the american" nominees, who are to
be selected tomorrow night.
The only advice The Herald has to
offer at this time is TO look the lists
oyer very carefully. ascertain the rec
drds of the nominees, where they have
any spublic records, and their private
records in cases where there is no pub
lie record. BE sure to pick out the men

ARRIVAL OF WINTER.

The storm of Friday night and yes
terday was of the type that the oldest
inhabitant likes to tell about 1t was
the first genuine snow of the late fall.
carrying with it the opening indication
that winter is at hand. There wasn't
a great deal of sport yesterday morn
ing in blowing through the snow to
your car ine, and it wasn't much fun
to stand in the snow for a long time
waiting for your car. But you COM
forted yourself with the thought that
the snow in the hills will be very use
full next summer.
1t is an old story here. the story of
the SHOWS blessings; but it is an al
ways true story and, therefore, al
ways worth hearing Copious snow be-
fore the first of the year means an
abundant supply of water for the city
and all the people within its gates.
We really cannot have too much of il.
even if it does make good business for
the man who sells rubbers and the
man with the infallible cure for colds.
If we can have four or FIVE more
storms like the first one between now
and the end of the year there won't be
any question about saving the lawns
next summer, or about sprinkling the
streets. At least If the lawns die and
the streets are dusty it won't be the
fault of the water supply. And it is
only fair to say in this connection that
the American" administration that
has brought about such a tremendous
revival of business in Salt Lake, if you
don't care what you say, and such a
heavy increase in the taxes. whether
you care what you say or not, is di-
rectly responsible for the snow.
If the Americans" were not in con-
troll of the city administration it is per-
fectly obvious that there wouldn't be
any snow. There would not have been
any snow last winter. with its atten-
dant increase in the water supply. If
the Almighty hadn't known that the
Americans were going TO take charge
of city affairs on the first day of last
January SO, while you are being
thankful for the snow you might, if

INCOM z TAXES.

President Roosevelt is understood q
be in favor of an income tax-just now,
Whether or not he will still be in favor
of it when congress meets is another
question, for the executive has habit
of changing his mind on important mat
tiers, notably the matter of tariff re-
vision. However, the subject is being
agitated. and it may be interesting to
know how the law works in other eoun-
tries. Great Britain has an income tax
law.
The figures from Great Britain are
definite. They show that during the
last fiscal year this form of taxation
Eetted the government $4,000. 900. The
amount is greater by several millions
of dollars than the previous years col
lections, and the people have become
so accustomed to it that they no longer
regard it as a great hardship.
There was a decrease in Great Britain
in the incomes from lands. Rents, it
sessments were decreased. On the 9TH
er hand. the returns from national, for
eign and colonial securities increased
is per cent, and incomes from bust
nesses and professions showed gain of
IL per cent. In the last fiscal year in
come taxes pere paid on securities val
ued at s225, 100000. The total income
taxed was s4,552, 100000
1t is admitted in England that much
of the taxable income is not reached
by the assessors, but the general work.
ing of the law has been found to be adj
mirable. The French ministry is now
preparing an income tax bill for SUBJ
mission to the chamber of deputies and
it is thought that, in spite of strong
opposition that has been aroused. the
measure will become a law. The min
istry explains that the law is needed
because there is a heavy deficit and a
fresh source of taxation is needed. be-
cause this is the fairest method Of Sc
curing the necessary revenue.
The supreme court of the United
States once declared an income tax to
be unconstitutional. The personnel of
the court has changed considerably
since that decision was handed down
by a majority of one. and shrewd law
yers believe a law can now be framed
that will pass muster.
