FIRST REGIMENT BAND.

Lovers of brass band music will be
given grand treat at the Chautauqua
this season. The management has
been very fortunate in engaging the
First Regiment band, the crack mus
ical organization of the state, for two
concerts. The dates are Sunday eve
nings, July 7th and 18th. The band
is under the dictatorship of Will D.
Wallace, whose ability as band lead
er is rated as among the best in the
northwest. Those who have heard the
.well-known Minnesota State band
would travel miles to- hear them again
and cheerfully pay $1.00 for seat,
and the First Regiment band this
year is said to be equal in every way
to the famous Minnesota organiza-
ton. a.

PRESIDENT TALKS
OF ATTACK MADE
BY Mr., HARTMAN
Explains COntribu-
tiOn Story
Roosevelt Doesn't Want to BE Quoted
but Tells Friends That "Tainted
Money" Was Always Re.
funded
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April B-President
Roosevelt discussed with a number OF
his callers today various features OF
the controversy with MIR. Hartman
growing out of the publication OF the
letters between them. He desired not
to be quoted, however. ..
To his friends the president made IT
plain that his version of Mr.. Harrl-
mans visit preceding the election OF
1904 was that Mr.. Hartman wanted
assurance from the national Repuen-
can committee to help Chairman Odell
in the New York campaign TOWARD
whose expenses he (Harriman) hau
raised 100000.
The president promised to communi-
cate with Messrs. Cortelyou ana Bliss
to see what could be done lie olu
in this case, he declared just wnat ne
had done in other instances where ne
had been appealed to to help in state
campaigns.
To some of his visitors the president
referred to the statement made public
last ~night by Judge Alton b. Parker,
in Albany, in which he said that 1t
has never been denied that $150,000 was
turned over by the Equitable, Mutual
and New York Life Insurance compa-
MES to Mr. Cortelyou's committee and
that congress has refused to make an
Investigation into the corporate contrl-
buttons of 1904 or pass a law prohibit
ing such contributions in the future.
On this subject the president referred
to statement which he made on NO
vember 4, 1904, in which he said in part:
Motive Considered
"That contributions have been made
to the Republican committee, as con-
tributions have been made to the DEM
ocratic committee, is not the question
at issue. Mr.. Parkers assertion is in
effect that such contributions have been
made for improper motives, either in
of threats or on account
of improper promises, direct or indirect
on the part of the recipient.
But there is not one particle of truth
in the statement" etc.
Neither Mr.. Parker nor his support
ers, the president said, have been able
to traverse or question the statements
made in that answer. The president
said that to his own knowledge about
a dozen contributions offered by corpor-
atoms had been declined by Chairman
Cortelyou, but that others had been
accepted.
A contribution by the American To-
bacco company, he said, had been re-
turned. A prominent man had made
q contribution of $4,000 to the Repub
lican campaign fund. subsequently
this man had made his desire known
for an appointment in the diplomatic
service in the event that the president
was elected.
AS soon as his motives were under
stood the national committee returned
his contribution. The president as
serted to his callers that none of the
corporations contributing to the fund
in 1904 had come to him for favors
either directly or indirectly. In this
connection he referred to the legisla-
ton enacted in regard to the corpora
tions during the last few years as dis
proving any imputations that immunity
would be shown them for their contri-
buttons

SAYS FIRE Loss
WAS EXAGGERATED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The loss
sustained by the San Francisco Gas
and Electric company in its power
house fire is not so great as was esti-
mated and is fully covered by insur-
ance. President John A. Britton stated
today that the damage will not exceed
S15O,000, which amount is covered by
policies in twenty fire insurance COM
panies.
A large portion of the power house
plant at Twenty-third and Louisiana
streets is said to belong to F. H. Bar
ney, head of the engineering depart
ment of the company, who directed the
fighting of the fire and the use of the
apparatus. President Britton says that
two-thirds of the generating plant was
in operation yesterday and that the
company is supplying It's service COM
pletely to every section of the city.
This afternoon at o'clock the fire
at the power house broke out again
in portion Of the wooden roof of the
structure, which remained unburned,
The fire department was summoned and
1t required one hour to subdue the
flames. Meantime the service all over
the city was interrupted. One hundred
and fifty cars were withdrawn from
service by the United railroads today
because of the diminution of the cleo
trio current furnished.

STEAD DISCUSSES
HAGUE CONFERENCE
Believes Many Wars Gould BE Averted
II Special Mediators Were Called
In Before Hostillties
Start
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 3.--William T..
Stead, who has recently made a tour
of the European capitals in the inter-
est of The Hague conference and who
came here to attend the dedication of
the Carnegie institute at Pittsburg, ar
rived here today. Mr.. Stead will at
tend the international peace conven-
tion in this city April 16 and II.
In speaking of The Hague confer
ence today he said it would carry one
step farther the principles which the
American delegates incorporated in
the convention Of 1899 the recon-
mendation that usage in duels should
be extended to wars.
Article of the convention, which
contains this recommendation, has not
been voted upon, although the recon-
mendations have been made frequent
ly," said Mr.. Stead.
1T recommends that when two pow
ers have a dispute which they are
unable to adjust by ordinary means of
diplomacy they should not resort to
hostilities the moment they suspend
diplomatic intercourse, but that they
should each call in a special mediator
who shall have period not exceeding
thirty days i'm which to try to compose
the dispute and avert war.
IF 1t had been acted upon neither the
South African war nor the Russo
Japanese war would have broken out
when they did. pause Of thirty
days and a fresh deal with new nego-
tlators would give the world absolute
security against sudden outbreak of
war and place the delirium of war
fever under the control OF the common
sense of the community"

PROMINENT POLITICIANS
REFUSE TO BE DRAWN
INTO THE CONTROVERSY
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 3.-While the
controversy which has arisen between
President Roosevelt and u. H. Harri-
man is attracting widespread attention,
politicians and others who were closely
connected with the campaign of 1904
do not show disposition to discuss the
subject.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew was the
only one who would add anything to the
letters and statements made by the
president and Mr.. Hartman. He Is
quoted as saying:
MY knowledge of the 100000 cam
paign fund was all gained after the
Occurrence to which Mr.. Hartman re-
fers. / knew nothing about 1t at the
time and it would be very improper for
me to mention any names in any way.
may say however, that the money did
not come from corporations, neither
from individuals whose corporation af-
filiations were such that they had any
thing to expect from the administration
in return. They were men of wealth,
who necessarily had corporation con-
.nections, but this did not move them
in contributing the money.
$50 far as the mention of my name
for the post of ambassador to France
is concerned, = will say positively that
the matter was not broached to me un-
til December, after the opposition to
my reelection as senator had crystal
lied.
IT will not say through what sources
the suggestion came that 1 should take
the post except that l was asked If l
would not accept such an appointment
and withdraw from the senatorial con-
test"

WASHINGTON, April 3.--Information
reached the immigration bureau of the
department of commerce and labor that
hundreds of Japanese have arrived In
Mexico destined for the United States.
Inspector Braun, who was sent TO
Mexico to investigate, telegraphed to-
day that he had Interviewed several
hundred Japanese, principally laborerS,
who now are in Mexico Many of them
are in straltened circumstances.
They have no intention of remaining
in Mexico but desire to come TO the
United States. They expect to obtain
employment on the railroads of the
west and southwest.
Some of them have already applied
for admission to the United States and
have been denied. In every instance
the immigrants hold passports issued to
them by the Japanese government to
Mexico. They tell the American Of
ficials that the Japanese government
will not issue passports to the United
States
Under the circumstances the Japanese
cannot be admitted legally to this coun-
try, but scores are being smuggled
across the Mexican border.

it practically is impossible to prevent

Lunacy Commission
to Make Its Report
at Once
Unless Declared Insane
Prisoners Trial Is
to Proceed
Possible That Jury viii Receive In-
structions and Retire from Court
Room Within Forty-eieht
Hours
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 3,-Tomorrow
brings another critical stage in the case
of Harry X. Thaw. when the slayer
of Stanford White either will be Off
officially proclaimed insane and ordered
sent to a state asylum or his trial will
be resumed before Justice Fitzgerald
on the finding by the lunacy commits
sion that the defendant is at this time
capable of rightly understanding his
own position of appreciating the ma
ture of the charges against him and
of nationally advising with his counsel.
The commission completed it's work
tonight and will be ready to report to
Justice Fitzgerald tomorrow morning.
Thaw underwent a private mental
and physical examination for more
than two hours this afternoon. In this
last crucial test he was entirely alone
before the commission. even the dis
trict attorney and the members of his
own counsel being barred.
When the three members of the COM
mittee, DIR. David Mcclure, Peter b.
Olney and Dr.. Leopold Putzell, had
completed their final examination they
shook hands with Thaw in most cor
dial manner.
nav Cneef1uI
He went back to his cell in the
Tombs with light heart and declared
to his counsel that he felt the commits
sion would surely declare him sane
tomorrow.
The attorneys shared their clients
optimistic view of the situation. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome would not COM
nit himself in any way. Thaw's coun-
sci declared they were ready to proceed
with the case tomorrow and believed
that Mr.. Delmas might begin his sum-
ming up address before noon.
In that event, they said, Mr.. Jerome
would address the jury on Friday and
verdict might be expected before
the week ended.
There is little or no likelihood that
the report of the commission which
has inquired into Thaw's present mem
tai state ever will be made public.
If the decision of the commission
favors Thaw, Justice Fitzgerald will
merely order the trial to proceed with
uot any reference whatsoever to the
interruption which began two weeks
ago.
Should the decision be against Thaw,
Justice Fitzgerald would have to quote
but briefly from the formal finding of
the commission in his order committing
the young man to an asylum.

DEMOCRATS STILL
IN THE MAJORITY
CHICAGO COUNCIL REMAINS
THE SAME
Republicans Completely Showed un-
der at st, Louis, Their Entire
Ticket Going Down to
Defeat
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press,
CHICAGO April 3.--Revised un-
official returns of yesterdays election
show that Busse has been elected by a
plurality of 1905 over Dunno. The
Republican city ticket was elected with
the exception of Edward C. Young, the
candidate for city treasurer, who was
beaten by John Traeger, Democrat, by
1898. The city council will be Demo-
cratic by the same majority as the old
council-36 Democrats "a Republicans.
The traction ordinances recently
passed by the city council over the
veto Of the mayor and which provided
for the immediate rehabilitation of the
street railway systems were carried by
a vote of 165,646 to 1920.
Fear that the condemnation pro-
ceedings might entail many years of
litigation, during which the city would
be compelled to put UP with it's present
miserable transportation facilities, was
a strong factor in bringing out heavy
vote in favor of the ordinances. AS the
matter now stands the street car COM
panies are compelled to pay the city
55 per cent OF their net income, allow
ing the city at all times access to their
books.
Universal Transfers
They are to provide continuous pas
sage from one section of the city to
another for a. fare of five cents and to
grant universal transfers. The city is
to allew them a franchise for twenty
years with the option Of purchasing
the systems for $5O,OO0,0OO at any time
by giving notice six months in advance
of the date at which it proposes to take
over the property.
The cost of rehabilitating the lines is
to be added to the purchase price of
$50, ,0OO,00
The election also added to the ex-
tent of the city by bringing in the
suburb of Morgan Park which will add
about 5000 to it's population, provided
the citizens of Morgan Park approve
the annexation. Their election is to
be held two weeks hence.
