THE PRESIDENTS rlEssAoE,

President.Roosevelt's message
to congress was most satlsfact-
DRY to alt7thoughtfui and judic-
ious people and was another
reminder that such a wise states
man should be retained for an
other term, regardless of his
declaration to retire.
The annual message was read
70 the national legislature Mon
dav afternoon and is a sane and
virile document, quite as comp
reheusible by the average read
eE as by the experienced member
of congress. And thatis saying
r. good deal forsit. The ponder
osity of the annual messages
addressed to congress but meant
for the countrysas well-of some
of our great presidents has been
somethingeappahing.
1t has been left for the twenty
sixth president of the United
States to change the whole as
pect of the recommended tons
>5hicI, go to congress from the
executive mansion, and it IS a
fact, VIZ. think, that the message
which Mr.. Roosevelt sent to the
ucn at the capitol and through
out the country will take a
more intemate hold upon the
people than any which he has
heretofore written. A good deal
is happening in and about the
United States just now that has
Aveighty bearing upon the coun-
rvs future welfare, and the
presidents message is plain
and honest story about it, up to
the level of the work of some of
ourvery best newspaper repor-
crs, absolutely candid in it's
recital of facts and equally fear
less in it's deductions from them.
We are not going to reView@lr1,
because all the essential portlods
of it are printed in other columns
of the News and it is so iuter-
esting and it touches our nat
ional vttals. so directly that
every citizen is. sure to read 1t
for himself audto- enjoy it and
profit by it.
Two or three of the great
human interest" topics covered
By the presidents message, how
eyer, deserve to be read by
everyhodvs with special care,
aud Me point them out. not be-
cause anybody will be in danger
of missing them but because
they SO perfectly illustrate the
differences that we have been
writing about between this
illain and powerful Roosevelt
message and the messages of a
very large number of Mr.. Roos-
egelt's predecessors. In the
copy of the message which lies
before us, these topics are dis
cussed under the sub-headings

TWENTY MILLIONS
STARVING In
RUSSIA
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 3.-Princes
L'Voff and Orbeliat 7, representatives
of the famine relief organization, who
have just returned from the stricken
district, have furnished the Associated
Press with the following facts in the
famine district:
The crops in the seven provinces of
Samars, Saratov Simbirsk, Kazan,
Tambov and Ufa were practically total
failures.
In twenty provinces the harvests
were very poor.
About 20,000,000 people will need as
sistance for from four to ten months,
to stave off starvation until the new
crops are available. In some regions
the inhabitants have been suffering
from starvation for ten years, partial
crops having been gathered in only two
of the ten years. The Moscow zemstvo
relief committee calculates that $685.
900, 900 and possibly more will be neces-
sary.
Though the conditions in the famine
regions are now distressing, far worse
may be expected in January. The
zemstvo organizations 100000 will
then be exhausted and the relief Or
ganizations will be compelled to cease
efforts for the starving peasants.

PLAY JOKE ON THE POLICE
Called in Hurry to Stop Shooting in
a Gallery Conducted for That
Purpose

The police scarcely know whether to
laugh or swear over a joke that was
played upon them last night by some
practical joker.
Late in the night a telephone message
was received by the desk sergeant
from some one who spoke in breathless
excitement, calling for quick run of
the patrol wagon to ITO East Second
sire ct.
There has been some shooting here"
was all that the agitated sergeant
waited to hear, and the tired patrol
horses were speeding away within a
moment on an emergency errand that
gave promise of being anything from
a murder to massacre.
But we .heavens When the patrol
men arrived with the wagon at the ad-
dress given over the telephone they
found it to be shooting gallery. The
proprietor of the little resort was dunn

and patrolmen could say as the crack

taunt them uncomfortably.

oELRICHS CASE NOT SETTLED
Objections to Decree Made and New
Issues Arise in Liti-
cation
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.--The contest
over the will of Herman Oelrichs, who
died while returning from Europe to
the United States last June, has not
been settled.
1t was announced a week ago that a
settlement had been effected by which
Mrs. Oelrichs was to receive Pacific
Coast railway bonds valued at 100000
and his son the Cygnus estate in Cali
fornia valued at $4,000. A decree was
subsequently submitted to the surro-
gate for signature, but on account OF
objections were not satisfied.
Surrogate Fitzgerald took the testi-
mony of other witnesses to prove that
the testator, some time prior to his
death, had definitely given up his resi-
dence in California, and intended to
make his future residence here.
According to the laws of California,
Mrs. Oelrichs would be entitled to the
bulk of her husbands estate, whereas
under the laws of the state of New
York her share would be comparatively
small, as the estate consists almost
altogether of personal property and hel
right of dover would only extend to G
life interest in the real estate.
Under the terms of the will practically
the whole estate goes to Mr.. Oelrichs
brother and sister. "

NEW YORK DELEGATES
ITS NEWEST THEATER
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Manhat-
tan opera house, New Yorks newest
theater, was dedicated to grand opera
tonight.
The opera was Bellini's I Puritani,"
and the audience was one of the largest
and most snowy that ever gathered at a
first night.
In opening his beautiful house Oscar
Tammerstein introduced to America
several noted signers, including Ales-
sandro Bonci, an Italian tenor, who had
been heralded as the equal of his ia
nous countryman, Caruso. Others in
the cast were Mile. Plnkert, Mile Zac-
caria, M. Venturini, M. Ancona, M.
Arimondi and M. Mugnoz.
Mr.. Hammerstein was called before
the curtain after the second act and
made speech. He told the audience
that he had no partners. no board of
directors, no one to tell him what to do,
but had fulfilled his ambition in build
ing such a magnificent theater and
dedicated it to grand opera.

Of Police

Dan O'Neil, a fine looking old man

station Of being a chronic tippler, was
arrested last night on a charge of
drunkenness. He seems to enjoy the

him of spending more time in jail for
drunkenness than any other one man
In Los Angeles. When his record in
this regard is mentioned old Dan is
seen to stralghten his solderly body
with pride and look about smiling.

he was Napolean Bonaparte and had
no use for his old friends the "fy COPS"

CANCEL INSURANCE ON
TRUST STEMMERIES
By Associated Press.

PRINCETON, KY, Dec. 3.-All insur-
ance policies covering buildings owned
or controlled by the tobacco trust, So
called, in Western Kentucky were can
celed today as result of the burning
of two stemmeries by a mob, which
entered Princeton last Friday night.
The policies We're Cancelled by tele-
graph from Louisville, most of them
being in two companies.
The excitement caused by the mob's
action is intense, it being heightened
by the Inquiry begun today by State
Fire Marshal Ayres.
Several witnesses were examined,
among them prominent citizens. All
had encountered members Of the mob,
but with one exception they testified
that they failed to recognize any of the
raiders. The exception was William
Winters a section man employed by
the Illinois Central railroad, and who is
already under arrest charged with par
ticipation in the raid.
The fact that one witness who had
previously declared he recognized mem
bers of the mob testified to the contra
ry today is taken as an Indication that
the chances of securing convictions are
slight.

DISCUSS JAPANESE SITUATION
Measures on the Subject Will Be In
troduced in the House
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The Japa-
nese situation was discussed quite gen.
orally by the members and the opin-
ion was expressed quite freely that
measures affecting the Japanese may
be introduced in the house at any time.
Representative Kahn of California
said he does not think the California
delegation will take immediate steps
to push any Legislation affecting the
Japanese. He said that the California
delegation probably will hold a meeting
within two weeks for the discussion of
the situation and doubtless will act as
a unit in case decision is reached to
urge the passage of any special meas
ure.
Two Japanese exclusion bills, one by
Representative Mckinley of California,
and the other by Representative Hayes
of California, are now pending in con-
gress.
Representative Needham of California
was the first member of the delegation
from that state to reach the capitol.
Mr.. Needham is not from the San Fran
cisco district, and consequently Is not
in close touch with the situation in that
city arising from the exclusion of the
Japanese from the public schools at
tended by white children. He said,
however, that he believes the present
agitation will gradually die out and
the situation will quietly settle itself.

Politicians Engage In Personal COM

When Fred Paul said in the midst
OF a crowd of election enthusiasts near
Second and Spring streets last night
that Harper is. all right" he was
struck a singing blow on the back of
the head by someone who made evident
by his remarks that he considered Paul
a prevaricator, and further said nasty
things about Harper.
This was too much for Paul, and he
swung about with pile driver swat
in the face, and set his opponent
sprawling in the gutter.
The whole crowd who We're about
the scene of the disturbance accom-
panied Paul to the police station to
testify to the desk sergeant against
the man who assaulted him. However,
no arrest was made, as the police
seemed to think a man justifiable for
doing almost anything on election eve
except getting drunk.

ARGUING TO SAVE
GILLETTE'S NECK
Attorneys Spend Day In Addressing
the Jury In the Famous
Herklmer Murder
Case
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HERKIMBR, N. Y, Dec. 3.--Chester
70. Gillette, the young factory foreman
of Cortland, on trial here for the al
legged murder of Grace Brown, his
sweetheart, probably will know his fate
within the next twenty-fonr hours.
District Attorney Ward summed up
for the state, taking the ground that
Gillette deliberately planned to MUIR
der Miss Brown and did kill her or
render her insensble with blows on the
head with tennis racquet, her body
being then thrown into Big Moose
lake in the Adirondacks.
A. M. Mills, in summing up for the
defense, contended that the prosecu-
tion had failed to show motive for
the murder growing out of the rela-
tions between Gillette and Grace
Brown.
At $500 o'clock Mr.. Miller sat down
and District Attorney Ward began his
address
AT 6 o'clock court adjourned until
$3.50 o'clock tomorrow morning.
