Louisville. KY. Mar. 1.-THE at
tempt of the street railway company
to run cars with nOl-unlOn men this
morning was only partially success
full While no violence was reported
up to $50, there were numerous
demonstrations. The company usual

on their way to work. The two con-
ductors were forced to return fares
to passengers, reverse the trolleys
and take the cars back to the barns.

dispersed the crowd. At Fourth and
Hill several cars were stopped and
the air brakes were put out of COM
mission. The crowd threw stones
through the windows of one or two
cars before the police arrived. There
were numerous calls for police in
widely separated sections of the ci-

day by the strike officials of the In
ternational Boilermakers and Iron
Shipbuilders Union. about 450 men
employed at the Globe yards of the

st. Petersburg, Mar 1.-THE Rad
ical party is hopelessly at odds re-
gardi1g the manner of raising the
question of amnesty. The Socialists
persist in forcing it Immediately to
the front in the form of an open dec
laratiol to the people, which practi-
cally would be an appeal for revolu-
ton. A caucus of the social revolu-
zionist leaders and the leaders of the
Peasant League last night rejected
this as well as the proposition to
make an appeal or demand to the EN-
peror, and it was decided to intro
duce regular bill providing amnesty
for political prisoners. This undoubt-
edly is unconstitutional and unaccept-
able to the Constitutional Democrats
The cabinet, in any event, will not
regard the introduction of an amnes-
ty resolution as warranting the disso-
luton of parliament.
The reactionist campaign for the
prororogatio1 of the parliament under
any pretense is in full swing
The lower house of parliament re-
assembled this morning for re-ex-
animation of the credentials of mem

EIGHTH WEEK OF
TILE TAAW TR

THE THAW TRIAL.
New York, Mar. 11-With the
Thaw trial entering on it's eighth
week today, District Attorney Je-
rome began the real work of prose
cution, offering testimony in rebuttal
of the defense built up by Thaw's at
torneys. The first witness called to-
day was Frederick w. Lo1gfellow,
one of the Thaw family attorneys.
Jerome wished to prove by Long
fellow that Harry Thaw more than
two years before Evelyn Thaw told
him the story which is said to have
unbalanced his mind, knew all the
evil practices of men in New York.
Jerome asked Lolgfellow about the
service of papers on Thaw in the
suit of Ethel Thomas. On objection
by Delmas, Longfellow was stopped
from giving any definite testimony as
to this suit upon the ground that ne
was acting as Thaw's counsel, and
his dealings with him were cOnfiden-
tial.
Blocked at every turn by objections
from Delmas in obtaining testimony
from Longfellow, Jerome switched to
the testimony of the policemen who
saw Thaw on the night of his arrest
and who declared his actions to them
seemed but those of a rational man.
DelmaS asked one officer if he mad
not overheard Thaw in the cell say
that he had heard the voices of wom-
en- crying out. The officer said there
had been no such statement in his
hearing

CHAMP CLARK MAY
VISIT ROSWELL IN APRIL.

Elder C. c. Hill, pastor of the Chris
tian church, is in receipt of letter
from mis- boyhood friend, Congress
man Champ Clark, of Missouri, stat
ing, in answer to inquiry, that he has
hopes of making several lecture dates
in the Southwest during the coming
two months, and that if he does, he
will surely come to Roswell. He does
not know anything about what time
he can come, but it is hoped that he
will be able to SO arrange his dates
as to reach here during the cattle
mems convention.
Champ Clark is one of the most
brilliant orators of today Many con-
slider him superior in this respect to
VIM. ]. Bryan. He is the leader of
the Democratic party on the floor of
the lower house of congress, and is
one of the brightest and brailiest
men in the United States Regardless
of party, politics, position or what
not, he is a fine speaker, and besides
that has something to say.

CITIZENS OPPOSE NEW

bill in the legislature that threat
ems to make law to the effect that
all fees received by the Justices of
the peace in the territory be paid to
the county treasurer and each justice
of the peace receives an annual salary
of 5000. At present the justice of the
peace receives no salary, but is enti-
tied to the fees of mis- Office. The new
law would be snap for justices re-
siding in thinly populated precincts
and have only case or two a year,
but on men like Roswell's Justice,
who have to keep an Office and work
ten or twelve hour per day, 1t would
be poor compensation; so poor, in
fact that no one could be induced to
take it who would do the work pro-
perly. Roswell's Justice, A J. Welfer
today circulated petition to the leg
islature asking that it turn down the
bill. He presented 1t to a majority
of the business men OF Roswell and
only one man refused to sign it. The
one refusal was based on a lack of
