FIRST MARTYR
OF GREAT CAUSE
TRAGIC DEATH OF ELIJAH P.
LOvEJ0Y RECALLED BY FACT
THAT THIS IS SEVENTEEN AN
NIVERSARY OF THE EVENT.

ALTON, Ill, Nov. To-day was
the SEVENTEEN anniversary of the
tragic death here of Ethan p. Love
joy, one of the earliest martyrs to
the cause of abolition. 1t was on
November I, 1897, that Lovejoy was
killed by an Alton mob that sacked
his printing Office, and he was buried
two days later on the thirty-tifth an
niversary of his birth.
A young man of "a, Loveioy had
come from his home in Maine to St.
Louis, where he established school
and became an industrious contribu-
to the press, acquiring some fame as
forceful writer. But the people of
st. Louis were in such violent Opposi-
ton to his views that in 1886 he
came to Alton, which was to be the
scene of his death.
The citizens of Alton did not take
any more kindly to his preachings
than the people of st. Louis. They
threatened him and when this was
without result they destroyed his
press. AS often as they wrecked it
he replaced it, until three presses had
been destroyed and a fourth one was,
ordered
The night after it was received a
mob attacked the building. Loveioy
was there with some friends ready
for the conflict, and in the fight that
followed they defended themselves
bravely and succeeded in killing one
member of the mob. When the crowd
undertook to fire the building Love-
JOY was one of three volunteers to
make sortie. AS soon as he got
outside he was assailed with storm
of lead and fell dead with five bull
lets in his body.

GIRL STEALS FOR
SWEETHEART
STENOGRAPHER IN GOVERN
MENT OFFICE SELLS SECRETS
AND STEALS PAPERS IN I'M
PORTANT CASES.

CHICAGO, Nov. THE Inter
Ocean today says:
Secret service operatives are work.
! ing to determine to what extent gov
eminent secrets in recent cases OF
national Importance have been sold
| by Miss Eta Mclean and Alexander
r. Gordee, who yesterday were held
in $4,000 bonds to the grand jury on
charges of conspiracy and the theft
of papers in the John r. Walsh case.
Discovery of papers relating to the
Standard Oil trial in the room Of
Miss Mclean has led to the suspicion
that she and her confederate may
have disclosed government plans not
only in the Walsh case, but in the
case against the Standard Oil, the
Chicago and Alton railway and the
school book combine
Miss McLean's position as stenog-l
rapher in District Attorney Sims Of
flee, which she held since April, gave
hiSi uhiplC OppOl IuhiIy " ODJdIA
copies of the most valuable papers In
all these cases.
the fact that Gordee, her sweet
heart, was able to live in idleness,
dining at expensive restaurants, for
the past six months, has made it APP
parent he had some secret source or
income.
While the government officials feed
confident they have unearthed far
reaching conspiracy, they have yet to
learn it's magniture or to what ex-
tent its operations have injured gov
eminent prosecutions. In the prose-
cution of the Standard Oil, the Alton
and the book combine 1t was APP
parent at every turn that the de-
PENDANTS knew in advance the gov
ernment's moves, no matter how Sc
secretly planned. The arrest of the
couple, it is believed, has solved the
enigma.

JAPANESE
CAN ENTER
OREGON JUDGE DECIDES THEY
ARE IN CLASS WITH OTHER
ALIENS.

Judging by the decision reported in
the following dispatch Japanese here
who have been threatening to test the
rule by which they are prohibited from
landing on the Mainland, would win
their case:
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 27.-Judge
WolvertOn. in the United States Dis
trict Court this afternoon handed
down an opinion that sweeps away the
restrictions imposed upon the admis-
sion of Japanese to this country by the
commissioner general Of immigration.
The effect Of the decision is to remove
the departmental bar against Japanese
and to admit them equally with other
aliens.
The opinion wipes off the regulation
Of the bureau of immigration which
held that whenever a Japanese applied
for admission to this country and car
ried no passport emitting him to land
in Canada, Mexico or Hawaii, the pre-
sumption was that ne had no such
passport
This means that the presidents or
der against Japanese landing on sol
adjoining this country or its insulaI
possess. ons stands, but it removes re-
trictions upon Japanese coming di.
rectly from Japan to this country.
The opinion was rendered in decid-
ing the case of the master of a French
ship who recently allowed two Japan
csc to escape.

Bryan Discusses Rooseve1t's Policy in
His Ottawa Speech.

Ottawa Kan, June 20.-Whether the
hen that lays the egg or the hen that
matches it is the mother of the chicken
is the problem, the solution of which
will properly place credit for the re-
forms carried out by President Roose-
welt, declared William J. Bryan Wed
nesday afternoon in his third speech at
on Ottawa Chautauqua assembly since
his entry into public life
Mr. Bryan spoke to 5000 people. His
address, ordinarily an economic one,
was featured by partisan political re-
ference, owing to the appearance of
Secretary Taft on the same platform
today. His delayed arrival was the
cause of disappointment to a coterie of
Democratic statesmen who had gather
ed here to entertain him. The party
included w. A. Harris, Hugh P. Far
Kelley, ]. @. Johnson Frank Foeckle,
Senator Sheldon, Governor elder, and
others, and a dinner was served at Sen
ator Sheldon's residence in Bryan's
honor, with Bryan absent.
Colonel Harris introduced Mr.. Bryan,
to speak on THE Average Man." The
Democracy, Mr.. Bryan said, laid the
reform eggs, and President Roosevelt
Is Matching them out. The Democracy
claims the right of parentage. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has done well, he de-
clared but he has gone neither far
enough nor fast enough.
There is some inclination to enjoin
the trusts" said Mr.. Bryan. Would
you enjoin a horsethief?" Mr.. Bryan
repeated his statement that the Okla
homa constitution is the best written
in this country, not excepting the con-
stitution of the Unied States.
''Three-fourths of the Republicans In
this country" he said, "are Democrats
and don't know it. I used to be called
very radical; now 1 am classed as
conservative"
