EMPEROR BACK
IN HIS PALACE
SECRETLY RUSSIA'S RULER
CHANGES ABODE
With Greater Precautions Than Ever
Car Resumes His Old Quarters.
Executions and Arrests in
Empire Continue
ev AssocIated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST PETERSBURG. Oct. 4.--The en-
peror and the members of the imperial
family. who have been visiting in Fin
nish waters on board the yacht stand
art, arrived at Peterhof this evening.
The emperor will move almost imme-
diately to his winter palace at Tsarskoe
selo.
Warned by the immunity in which
zenaide Knoplianikovo resided at
Peterhof for months prior to her as
sassination of General Min on August
20, the police are verifying the pass
ports of all doubtful persons in the vi
cinity of Tsarskoe selo and most
strict supervision of all strangers ar
riving there has been instituted.
The capture OF bombs here yesterday
Is regarded as of the utmost lmpor-
tance, as it revealed and apparently
frustrated the designs of the revolu
tionists to convert st. Petersburg into
a second Warsaw. Enough explosives
to annihIlate an entire regiment were
seized. A band of Polish experts came
here recently for the purpose of in
structing the local terroriSts in the best
methods of using this material.
The throwing of bomb today at
General Starynkewisch, governor of
Simbirsk, is described here as the act
of irresponsible local revolutonlsts
anxious to strike a blow at authority
in general and not the result of de-
cree In the terrorists' organization.
Starynkewisch has the reputation, even
in radical circles, of a fairly mild and
unobjectionable bureaucrat. He never
rendered himself odous by political re-
pressions.
According to the Bourse Gazette the
contemplated measures for the relief of
the Jews included the annulment Of the
percentage of restriction in the admis-
sion of Jews to schools and universe
ties, the granting of permission to ur-
willing converts to orthodoxy and their
descendants to return to Judaism and
the granting of the right to purchase
lands to the Jews Of Poland. This will
be unpopular in Poland.
The reactionary leagues are lombard
ing Premier Stolypin and the emperor
with petitions against the unrestricted
opening of schools to Jews, on the
ground that this is a matter in which
the entire nation should have a voice.
The Novo Vremya records the ship
ment of a large quantity of gold to
meet the interest on Russia's short
time obligations to the Mendelsohns of
Berlin. This presumably is the bullion
which just arrived here by sea from
London. The reason for this round
about method of transmission is not ex
planned.

National Association of Commission
ers Condemns Get-Rich-Q Quick
and Rebate Practices Of
Some Concerns
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--The Ma
tional Association of Insurance Com
missioners today adopted resolution
against the so-called rebate evil from
which it was stated the public had
suffered even at the hands Of some of
the biggest companies.
1t was explained that many insur-
ance companies run regular get-rich-
quick schemes under the guise of offer
ing dividends that are wholly impos-
sible of realization.
1t was shown that frequently some
wealthy and influential man in COM
munity is offered a secret special con-
tract, reducing the cost of the insur-
ance to him on the promise that he
will work for the ends of the company
in his locality
1t was represented that many people
who take the chance of getting large
dividends are induced to insure be-
yond their capacity to pay, but that
these dividends, which it was stated are
really secret rebates, go to the richer
members of the community, who, 1t is
alleged, do not need them.

the twenty-one-yea franchise amend
ment in existence.
'Mr. Huntington has done a great
deal toward the development of South
ern California, but the people have done
much to assist him. All things being
should be satisfied with the present
conditions, as there is no city in the
United States that has the prosperity
ahead of it that Los Angeles has.
MY aim and ambition has been to
ASSIST and encourage the upbuilding of
Los Angeles My assistance, services
and encouragement will be always at
the disposal of any corporation that
! shows disposition to do right by the
citizens and meet them half way"
Mr., Hewitt, in discussing Mayor Nc
Aleers position, while in no way TAX
/ ing up the cudgel, says in defense of
Mr.. Mathews and his own ruling that
IN reality the much debated ordinance
is resolution passed In pursuance of
law that the constitution of the state
gives the city council the right to pro-
pose amendments to the constitution
without stating the method by which
this shall be done. "Our charter con-
tains no provisions for it's amendment"
he said. IF the ordinance is consld-
cred as an ordinance 1t was passed by
the council under this right given it by
the state constitution and not under
any right provided for in the charter,
/ or course we would have much pre-
ferred that Houghton had voted with
the majority and made any attack on
the legality of the ordinance impossl-
BILE"
Another point which has crept up to
cause trouble in placing the amend
ments on the ballot Is the fact that
exclusive of Sundays there will not be
a sufficient number of days to provide
for the publishing of the ordinance for
twenty days and permit forty days to
eapse between that time and the elec-
tion. The present official paper is not
published Sundays. IL will be neces-
sary therefore to advertise the ordi-
nances for three Sundays in one of the

NIGHT OUTBREAK in HAVANA
Liberal Leader Zayas Makes Crowds
in Street Dlsperse
o., Aa.tatod proae

BY Associated Press.
HAVANA, Oct A disturbance
which at one time threatened to become
riot occurred this evening as the re-
suit of conspicuous riding through the
streets of the city of former insurgents.
The chief of police had Just tele-
phoned to all the police stations to take
the small arms from all insurgents
throughout the city when Damasco
Castillo, an ex-insurgent, was seized
by the police while riding past pre-
cinct station. Castillo resisted and in
the melee which followed his arm was
cut with his own maehette. AS soon as
he was overpowered he was taken to
the vivac jail, followed by crowd of
several hundred persons, including a
number of mounted eS-rebelS.
This crowd surrounded the jail and
the excitement was growing when AL
fredo Zayas, the Liberal leader, ar
rived on the scene. After a long parley
he procured the release of Castillo
after he had surrendered his revolver
to the police. Senator Zayas is of the
opinion that the taking of the weapons
from the rebels, where they are at. the
disposal Of the disarming commission,
is unjust prosecution.
Forty mounted policemen charged
and dispersed a crowd in Jesus del
Monte this afternoon which was fol-
lowing a dozen mounted ex-rebels.
The first actual laying down of arms
near Havana occurred this evening
when ninety-fiye guns were accepted
by Maj. Ladd from 125 of Col. Acosto's
command.
Gen. del Castillo, who is ill, came
into Havana this evening after hav-
ing issued orders naming Maj. Ladd
as his successor and directing his
subordinates to obey the American
officers.

Government volunteers mustered out
this afternoon 400 Of Pine Guerreras
men who had Hbeen sent into Pinar del
Rio from Santiago las Vegas. This
operation passed without incident.
A number of young insurgents In a
reckless mood and dressed in pictur-
esoue costumes galloped their horses
about Havana all day today and
aroused much enthusiasm from boys
and other thoughtless persons, who

Coincdent with the occupation OF the

of the trouble. were sent elsewhere.
The palace is guarded now by only
half dozen policemen.
No Formally Now
The previous atmosphere OF formality
at the palace disappeared with the de-
parture of President Palma. The
American authorities are quite access
sible to visitors.
The first batch of claims for dam
ages resulting from acts committed by
insurgents was presented to the pro-
visional government by the French
charge d'affaires. Governor Taft told
the charge to file his claims. The gov
ernor is considering the appointment
of bureau to adjust such matters.

was completely surprised when ad-
dressed, and in reply to Inquiries said:
L have nothing to say We wish
to be left alone. We are quite happy"
do you know General Oushakoff
threatens to kill your" was asked.
Yes" was the answer, but he will
never find us. We will be gone before
he arrives here"

hotel in the Rue Rivoli, but later
changed their quarters several times
and succeeded in hiding their tracks
1t is believed they intend to take an
other ocean steamer.

several weeks ago, closely pursued by
the general, who tracked them to vari-
Gus cities in Europe and finally reached
Hamburg two hours after they had
sailed for New York. The general fol-
lowed on the next steamer only to find
upon arrival there that his wife and
the lieutenant had returned to Europe
on the Savoy.
General Oushakoff is now on board
the steamer La Provence on his way
