WAR OF EDUCATION TO
REPLACE WAR OF BLOOD
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Ivan Ivano-
witch Norodny, head of the Russian
liberty organization, who arrived here
last Tuesday from Russia, explained
yesterday what his reported secret mis-
sion was.
II was sent here" he said, "by the
Russian military party to represent
10000, 600 people in an appeal to the
world for a petition to the czar asking
for peace and a new form of govern
ment."
M. Norodny said his people look to
the United States for a large part of
the support in this new movement
which was suggested to his party, he
said, by the czarina's secretary.
1T has been proven conclusively,
said the Russian reformer that it
avails nothing to wage a war of blood
upon the czar so we have decided
instead to declare on him a war of
education and moral suasion,"
M. Norodny' expects to seek the sup
port of William J. Bryan and Con-
gressman John Sharp Williams. He
will organize clubs in many Of the
large cities to obtain signatures to
the petition.

The official test of the balcony of the
new Temple auditorium was made yes
terday, when 450 pounds of weight to
the square foot was placed ON the
balcony. in addition to the weight of all
the workmen on the building.

only one of it's kind ever erected.

is without a pillar or visible support,
thus giving an unobstructed sight line
to the stage.
The weight is carried in the steel
frame and in the walls.
The great dome is also without visible
support, being sustained by massive
girders.

not the least effect on the balcony and

AGAINST
EMPEROR
FAILS

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 28-A well
laid plot against the life of the emperor
on it's side was uncovered today by the
arrest of two armed terrorists, a man
and a woman. In the quarters of one
of the servants of the Alexandria pal
ace, Peterhof, his majesty's closely
guarded residence on Cronstadt bay.
The servants son and another lackey
named Klemm Klepnikoff, who were
concerned in smuggling the terrorists
through the guards, were arrested also
Emperor Nicholas has been expected
to return to Peterhof this week and 1T
is presumed that the terrorists intended
to shoot him while he was promenading
or playing with his children in the pal
ace ground.
Part of the great park at Peterhof
is protected on the side by the waters
of the bay and on the other sides it is
enclosed by high wall surmounted
with iron spikes. This wall is constant
ly patrolled by trusted Cossacks.
Inside the palace grounds the only
buildings are the unpretentious palace
and two or three smaller houses for the
servants.
The ramifications of the conspiracy,
in which arrests have been reported al
most daily since September 10, when q
lackey and several others were arrest
ed, are extensive and may possibly
have included two or more sub
divisions, one directed at the emperor
and the other against Grand Duke
Nicholas
The arrests of these lackeys explains
the manner in which threatening let
ters were introduced into the apart
ments of the emperor.

Expedites peIivery


Word has been received at the Los
Angeles postoffice that the postal au-
thorities at Washington have decided
to abolish the back stamp on letters,
which has heretofore been required.
This has been tested at Chicago and
other eastern cities and found of great
value in shortening the time of deliv-
cry and the number of clerks.
In the windy city thirty clerks were
dispensed with in the emitting of this
stamp.
1t will be of great value to Los An
geles, especially during the tourist
season, when the mails are exception
alIy heavy, and will gain much time in
the delivery, as the time and date OF
arrival will be omitted.
This stamp has been found of great
assistance in some cases, but when the
subject was broached few weeks ago
Postmaster Flint stated that such
case was only once in 9,999 times, and
that he was strongly in favor Of doing
away with back stamping.

WATER SUPPLY OF PANAMA
Elevated Reservoir Holding Vast
Quantity Furnishes the City
Plentifully.

Writes John F. Wallace in the En-
cheering Magazine: The system
consisted of a main impounding reser
voir, at an elevation of approximately
235 feet above the level of the sea
containing enough water to supply the
city of Panama with 100000 gallons
daily, an average of the basis of 80,
600 population, which was at least 5O
per cent. in excess of the present mum
Der of inhabitants. This water was to
be conducted to the immediate vicin-
ity of Panama through 16-inch
main, and discharged into an auxiliary
reservoir of 100000 gallons capacity,
situated at an elevation of approx
mately 140 feet above the sea level In
the immediate vicinity of Panama,
from which the water was conducted
through 20-inch pipe to connection
with the distributing system in the
city.
Numerous delays occurred in the
construction of this water supply sys.
tenn, due to the fact that the last ship
ment of 16-inch pipe for the water
main did not arrive on the isthmus
until May, 1905-eight months after
the requisition for it had been issued
The system was in final readiness for
the delivery of water in the city OF
Panama at the close of June, 1905
although the auxiliary reservoir and
the full local distribution would still
require several months for completion
Even in the United States 1t is rare
indeed that water supply of this
magnitude is conceived, designed and
executed in so short a time, and, con
sidering the delays in securing the
material and especially the difficulty
experienced in obtaining the proper
quality and quantity of labor. the re
suit of this particular installation wal
certainly gratifying. And the credi
therefor is due to Mr.. Carleton e
Davis and his efficient staff of assist
ants.

DIFFERENCE. OF DECREE.
Both Parted Their Hair in the Mid
die, But Ones Part Was Much
the Wider.

One Of the veteran lawyers of Bur-
lington, VT, is A. v. Spalding, writes
F. H. Kelsey of Lowell, in the Boston
Globe. One day. when he was trying a
case in the Chittenden county court
he called as a witness a stylishly
dressed young man who parted his
hair in the middle, practice that
used to be regarded as indicative of
a dude" The young man, however,
gave his testimony in plain, straight
forward manner and resumed his seat.
When the argument came to be
made by the counsel opposed to Mr.,
Spalding, reference was made in a
peculiarly cutting manner to the fop-
pish looking witness who parted his
hair in the middle.
On rising to reply, Mr.. Spalding
said: 81 fail to see how the fact that
this young man parts his hair in the
middle has any bearing in this case
He certainly has right to part his
hair in the middle, and he parts it ex
actly as my brother on the other sidt
does his, only" he added, pointing tt
the perfectly bald head of the oppos
ing lawyer, che doesn't part it quit
| so wide"
