no bargain whereby money was to be

REACTIONARY PLOT
Plan to Force Russian Parliament to
Dissolve Made P1blic-scheme May
be Successful.

' Isl
st. Petersburg, April 4.-Documen-
tary evidence of a plot on the part of
reactionary organiza tions, supported
by powerful influences at court, to
cause dissolution of the lower house
of parliament, was printed today in
Rech, the organ of the constitutional
signed by M. p. Urishkevich, monarch
ist member of the house from Bessara-
bia, and vice president of the League
of Russian people. which was sent to
all branches of the league.
The circular shows that many tele-
grams to the emperor, now appearing
in the reactionary organ, the Russian
Banner, demanding dissolution of the
house. were sent by direct orders from
the leagues headquarters here. The
date of the circular shows the plot
was conceived March Is, a week, after
the convocation of parliament, and was
set in motion March 81 by a prear-
ranged signal, the mysterious black
cross in the Russian Banner, whose APP
pearanca conceded with the murder
of DR.. Jollos. The circular directed
that, should the plot succeed, loyalist
demons .rations were to be organized
on the day of the dissolution of parlia-
ment.
The movement for dissolution of the
house las the full sympathy of the re-
dictionary members of the cabinet, and
tho no steps have yet been taken in
that direction, the possibility of paria
ment being dissolved is plainly fore
seen

CONSERVATION I'M YORK STATE
Court of Appeals Decides Apportion-
ment Act is Unconstitutional.

Albany, April 4.-The entire appor-
tionment of legislative districts made
by the last New York legislature is
overthrown as unconstitutional and
void by the court of appeals in a de-
cision handed down late yesterday.
The court reverses the judgments of
the courts below which hitherto have
sustained the act. The court expressly
holds that the decision does not affect
the personnel or invalidate the acts Of
the present legislature, but political
relations and alignmellts in every part
of the state made to suit the new con-
ditions have been thrown into confus-
ion. and formerly influential politicians
who were supposed to have been killed
politically by last years apportionment
return to the field of influence.
Far-seeing politicians here say that
it is impossible to calculate the con-
sequences of the decision, which they
describe as political earthquake"

WOULD DEPoRT NEGROES?
Governor of Florida Would Have Gov

ernment Colonize Them.
Tallahasse, Fla, April An the BIZ
ennial message which Governor Bro
ward sent to the Florida legislature on
its converting here, he refers to the race
problem as follows:
1t is apparent even to the casual
observer that the relation between the
two races is becoming more strained
and acute. The negroes today have less
friendship for the white people than
they have ever had since the civil
war. and the white people have less
tolerance ana sympathy for the negro.
1t is my opinion that the two races
will not for any great length of time
occup, the same territory without frfc-
ton and outbreaks OF disorder between
the two.
Il doubt if education can possibly
tend to the happiness of any race 50
long as it only aids in a keener dis
cernm ent of the hopeless difference
between the past and future history
of that race and that of dominant
race in the same country and in the
same neighborhood.
Il deem it best and therefore rec

TAR AND FEATHERS FOR TEN

Texans Brand Gamblers and Hioe
Them Out Of Town on Fails.
Galveston, Tex, April 4.-Ten gam
blers and bunco- steerers. who sought
refuge in Del Rio from the reform cru
sade, could not be decent, and the re-
suit was that they were tarred and
feathered and run out of Valverde
county.
Two days ago three of the gamblers
buncoed a wealthy ranchman out of
$500. The victim informed his friends
and they planned a private game of
poker to which the ten gamblers were
invited. The game was in full prog
ress when the vigilantes broke into
the room. Their winnings, as we'll as
their own money, was taken from the
card sharks, and divided among their
victims.
The citizens of this border town
were greatly wrought up over the in
vasion of the gamblers and some of
the cowboys suggested hanging the
men, but it was finally decided to
brand them and ride them out of the
county. The pitch and feathers were
administered on the outskirts of the
town, and the men made to ride rails
suspended on the shoulders of citizens,
who threatened to shoot the first vic
tim who fell off the rail. At the coun-
ty line the victims were dismissed with
a warning that if they returned to the
county they would be strung up.

CRAWFORD JuRiEs THROWN OUT
Judge Church Rules That Talssn,sn
Have essn illegally Drawn.

.Denison, April 4.-with the knock
ing out Of the Crawford county grand
and petit juries because the jury boxes
were improperly sealed, the April term
of the district court came to an abrupt
close here The result OF the action 10
that the Hassen murder case will have
to be resubmitted to q new grand jury.
AS soon as court had opened the
county attorney filed a motion asking
for an order OF court setting aside all
the lists Of petit jurors, grand jurors.
and talesmen that had been selected
to serve for the year 1907. on the
grounds that the said Jurors had been
illegally selected and drawn.
The evidence as given was that when
the different jury boxes were turned
over they were not sealed, and that
there was only one jury box properly
marked, which was the grand jury
box, the other boxes not being marked
petit jury box and talesmen box as re-
quired by law.
The evidence of the county auditor
showed that in nineteen out Of the
twenty five election precincts in the
county the judges and clerks of elec-
ton had returned jury lists contain-
lii6 lioAAASS VI JuN6CS sAhAN SASA 1A~' - SAss~
ton.
Now, Judge Church has sustained
the motion and set all jury lists for the
year 1907 aside, and according to the
new law passed by the present assem-
bly, ordered the board Of supervisors
to select new jury lists for the re-
mainder of the year and gave the
auditor, clerk and recorder orders to
draw a new grand jury to appear on
Tuesday, April 9. There Was no orde-
given for the drawing Of new petit
jury, as all the attorneys in the coun-
ty were not anxious to try any impor
tant cases this term, consequently
there will be no work done during this
term except equity and probate work.
The Indictment against Joseph Has
sen and Solomon Hassen, who are held
for the murder of Fred NaWfal, a Syr-
ian peddler, was set aside by the court
and the case resubmitted to the ne,-t
grand jury for further consideration.

PEACE NOW SEEMS NEAR.
Settlement Of Controversy Between
Men and Managers Appears Probable.

Chicago, April 4.-The settlement OF
the controversy between the western
railroads and their trainmen seems
nearer than at any time since Commits
sioners Knapp and Neill have inter-
Hceded in behalf of peace.
After delivering the ultimatum OF
the general managers to- the men, a
long conference was held and the final
result was that the labor leaders came
to an agreement which they requested
the two government officials to de-
liver to the managers today.
1t was the generally expressed opin-
ion early today that partial settle
ment, at least, will be reached before
night between the railroads and train
men and conductors. The general
managers held meeting lasting far
into the night. Conferences between
representatives of both sides OF the
controversy were resumed this morn

Experts Figure Out What Government
Ownership Would Cost.

Washington, April 4.-Growing in
terest in governmental control and own
ership of railroads has led officials In
Washington to make some estimates as
to the cost and methods by which such
ends might be reached.
Here are some of the conclusions:
1t will cost the government in the
neighborhood of s16.244,O00,000 to buy
the railroads; that is, this is the COM
mercial value of the whole railway
plant, including terminals, depots and
all appurtenances as estimated by the
United States census. To buy the rail-
way system of this country it is only
necessary for the government to ap-
praise the property and then issue gov
ernment securities in exchange for the
private securities now standing against
these properties. There would be no
real drain on the United States treas
ury.
The government simply would start

sociation and the board of the Chicago
Commercial association will be held at

Special TO
Charles City, April 4-Dr. Il. G. Den
mis- has received detailed report on
specimen of the brain of James Gull

mob who previously murdered his wife
and stepson. The brain was sent to
Henry Albert, NJ. S., M. D., professor
of pathology and bacteriology, director
of the Iowa state board of health ny
gienic laboratory, and pathologlst to
the university hospital.
Viewing the brain under considera-
tion in the light of certain conditions,
he finds that the brain corresponds to
the type of criminal brain. From
scientific standpoint, it must be said
that Mr. Cullen's brain presents indi-
cations of criminal type" says the
report. ut is thought, nevertheless,
that these same variations may and do
occur in entirely normal individuals,
and cannot, therefore, be said to be the
brain of criminal. AS far as size.
shape, and weight are concerned. the
brain appears to be normal

societies.
