The Dove of Peace"

ST. Paul Pioneer Press: "'Hello,
governor.
"Hello Bob. Glad to see you.
Come right in
This cordial greeting was not
between two long lost brothers,
as one might suppose, but it was
between two men who were the
principals in one of the bitterest
political contests ever pulled off
in the state of Minnesota-Gov.
John A. Johnson of st. Peter
and Robert G. Dunn of Princeton.
It was not the first time that
the two leaders had met since
their strenuous campaign of 1904.
Several times the former op-
ponents met, and while there
had been nothing strained in
greetings, the salutatlons we're
more perfunctory than cordial.
But to see them yesterday one
would think that they had been
bosom friends all their lives.
Mr.. Dnnn was seated in the
governors reception room when
the governor came out of the
private office. Mr.. Dunn was
admiring the panel paintings
and rich furniture of the COVER.
nor's apartments, and was no
doubt ricturing in his mind what
might have been had the tide of
the contest swept the other way.
When the governor emerged
from his private chambe and
saw Mr.. Dunn seated among the
other visitors he at once rushed
across the room ard the two
grasped hahds afectionately.
"Come right in, Bob," said the
governor, as he led the way to
the sanctum sanctorum. "Come
and join us Harvey, and Frank,
too,' said the governor to his ex-
ecutive clerk, Harvey Grimmer,
who straight away hustled Frank
A. Day, the governors private
secretary, into the private Office.

LIVELY SESSION OF DUMA
Members Bitterly Denounce the
Russian Judicial System.

st. Petersburg, April ia demand
for the exclusion from parliament of
three Socialist deputies pending their
trial for political offenses, submitted
to the lower house of parliament by
the minister of justice, M. Chtcheglo-
vitoff, caused great excitement at the
days session. The prosecutions Of
the deputies have been Instituted in
the provincial courts for acts CON-
mitted before the convOcation OF the
duma Two men, l.. F. Gerus,
teacher and Social Revolutionist Of
Kuban, and A. A. Kuznetsoff, Social
Democrat, Of Simbirsk, are accused
of being Socialists and therefore mem
bers Of a party contemplating the
overthrow Of the state. The third, A.
R. Kupstas, a peasant landowner of
Kovna, who was returned as mem
Der of the Left party, is charged with
making revolutionary speeches..
The Constitutional Democrats, who
are anxious to avoid heated discus
sion on the floor, proposed to refer
the minister's demand to committee,
but the Socialists and Social Revolu-
tionists insisted on an immediate, fiat
refusal in order to place the house on
record against the classification as
crimes Of such acts as the three depu-
ties are charged with committing.
The Constitutional Democratic mo-
ton to refer the demand of the min.
lister Of justice to a committee, which
was opposed by both the Socialists
and the government, was carried by
the slender majority of 1877 to IT'S
votes.
M. Chtcheglovitoff' remarks were
blunt and uncompromising and pro-
vol1ed a series of fiery answers, which
reused the house into the first great
excitement of the present session.
Even the Constitutional Democrats
we're swept off their feet. The rule
closing the sitting at 6 o'clock was
suspended and the house shook with
applause as speaker after speaker de-
nounced the Russian judicial system
as being a travesty on justice.

JURY FAILS TO AGREE
First Trial Of Harry X. Thaw
Ends Without Result.
OUT FOR NEARLY TWO DAYS

Members Made a Determined Effort
to Get Together, but Found 1t I'M
Observation-Disclosures Remanded to the
Tombs Without Bail.
New York, April 13.-Harry K.
InaW has been remanded back to the
Tombs without bail to await second
trial On the charge of having muir
dered Stanford White. The jury, after
beIng out forty-seven hours and eight
minutes, reported to Justice Fitzger-
aid at 4:25 p. m.
FOREMAN Smith announced that the
Jurors had found it impossible to
reach an agreement.
Justice Fitzgerald said he felt he
had kept the jury as long as he should
and with the consent of the public
prosecutor and counsel for the de-
tense he would discharge them from
any further consideration of the case.
AS the disagreement was announced
Thaw turned even paler than he has
been for the past several days and
when he was remanded back to the
city prison at the suggestion of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome he hung his
head dejectedly.
Had Hoped for AcquittaI.
Up to the very last Thaw had hoped
that the jury would finally agree upon
a verdict Of not guilty.
Thaw's wife sat by his side when
the disagreement of the jury was re-
ported to the court. When she first
came into the courtroom she took a
seat but a little distance away from
the prisoner, but he beckoned her to
an empty chair he had had placed be-
side his own.
All of the other members of the
family were in court when the final
disposition Of the case came.
They included Mrs. William Thaw
and her two daughters, the Countess
Of Yarmouth and Mrs. George L. Car
ueBie, anu Lne LWO DfOLnefS VI lie

The members of the family had an
ttoipated the result and showed but
little emotion. Mrs. William Thaw's
face was hidden behind heavy black
veil. AS Thaw passed them on his
way out of the courthouse and back
ia his cell in the Tombs his mother
and sisters smiled at him as cheer
fully as they could.
