Proceeding Alone Upon Dangerous
Ground.

Stolypin caused a sensation in the low
er house of parliament by Unexpected
ly announcing that a serious conflict
existed between the house and the gov
ernment, through the agrarian com
mittee of the house proceeding to solve
the whole agrarian problem without
consulting any report of the govern
ment. The premier ended his state
ment by announcing that the forcible
appropriation land could not be permit
ted, and warned the house that the
speeches were exciting the peasants
and beginning TO cause a dangerous
agitation in the provinces which the
government was determined to re-
strain.

almost dramatic. At the close of siull
session devoted to the adoption of
rules of order Stolypin suddenly claim
ed the floor. 1t was after the regular
hour of adjournment. but a movement
to adjourn was defeated. The premier
declared that the agrarian committee

II Is Announced That an Investigation
Is to Be Made of the Mysterious
Phoenix Affair.

Chicago May 23.-The mysterious
case of the late Nicholas de Raglan,
secretary of the Russian consulate in

Raglan lived as a man, was married
twice. and divorced once. but when he

made by those who had charge of the
body at Phoenix that the supposed
man was a woman.
Public Administrator Reddick has
refused to turn over de Raylan's es-
tate. valued at $4,000. to his widow
on the ground that if de Raglan was
woman there could be no legal mar
riage.
Mrs. de Raglan claims to have many
witnesses to prove her assertion that
her husband" was a man. Mrs. de
Raylan SAYS a curious mistake was
made whereby woman's body was
substituted for that of her husband.

save San Francisco from ruin and dis
grace"
Mr.. Calhoun was given the floor. He
prefaced the reading of his written re-
marks with a brief statement in which
he charged that on the morning of the
strike he had offered to re-suDmit the
whole question to arbitration and that
this offer had been rejected by the
union leaders. who ordered the men
out in the face of the full warning that
such action would mean the unqauli-
fled refusal of the company ever af-
terwards TO deal with or in any way
recognize the local union.
After adding that the United Rail-
roads had resumed the operation of its
lines. reaching nearly every section of
the city, Mr.. Calhoun read a lengthy
protest against any action of the board
looking toward a revocation or for
feiture of the franchise. Mr.. Calhoun
charged that the supervisors are well
aware that the object OF the resolution
was to aid the striking carmen. by
compelling the United Railroads to
yield to their demands.
He said mo self respecting public
officials will lend themselves to a
scheme to hold up the United Rail-
roads, or coerce it into yielding to
the demands of a body of men who are
no longer its employees and whose lead
ers are responsible for mob violence
and bloodshed. for the illegal restraint
o; trade. for cowardly assaults upon
individuals. and foul and indecent in

You know the very consideration of
the resolution tends to give encour-
agement to the ex-employes of the
company in their lawiess acts: it en-
courages them to believe that YOU
will be coerced into forcing the Unit
ed Railroads to yielding to their de-
mands.

public opinion that you no

tiative. but are under the con-

The Proposed Revocation of Their Fran
ChiSeS is Under Consideration
In the Course of the Discussion President Calhoun
Saps the Face OF an Over Ardent Municipal Owner
ship Advocate.

San Francisco. May 2S.-At a meet
ing this afternoon of the public utili-
ties committee of the board of super
visors, called to consider a resolution
declaring forfeited the franchises Of
the United Railroads, President Call
boun was virtually called a liar by E
p. Troy. a municipal ownership advo-
cate. Calhoun's reply was blow in
the face that nearly knocked Troy
from his feet.
Supervisor Boxton sprang from his
seat and ordered Troy from the. room
Troy's reply was TO fling into Boxton's
teeth the accusation that he had TAX
en bribe money from Calhoun. Boxton
ran toward Troy. declaring that he
would throw him out. but others inter-
fered and held the supervisor. while
Troy was forced to take a seat outside
the rail.
Alexander K. Gallagher appeared
for the labor council representing
$4,000 citizens who protest against a
further continuance of the privileges
under which the United Railways are
operating" He charged the corpora
tlons with the responsibility for the
present strained relations between la
Dor and capital in the city, and said
that the labor council expects to prove
that the United Railroads has used
financial intimidation to align the
moneyed class against the striking
car men and that the car company has
strung wires and laid tracks 'alI over
the city in violation of the law"
He claimed that the United Rail-
roads has for years evaded the sim
plest terms Of its franchises and that
the only adequate remedy to apply is
the revocation of its franchises.
President Macarthur Of the. abor
council spoke at length He asserted
that San Francisco has had no street
car service worthy of the name for a
long time past" and that the United
Railroads is the greatest affliction the
overburdened community sustains"
Despite many acts of violence that
have featured the car strike, MacAr-
thur claimed that san Francisco to-
day il the most law abiding city on
earth" He advocated a revocation OF
the fanchises if such action lay within
the power of the supervisors and he
appealed to the people To increase the
power if more power is needed.
Supervisor TveitmOe took the floor
in support of the resolution by him
introduced. He claimed that the Unit
ed Railroads had failed to live up TO
its agreements contained in the fran
chises. and assured that board that it
had the power of revocation and
strongly recommended that action.
President Mccarthy of the building
trades council said that he was not a
man to counsel confiscation of prop
erty, but added IF such a step must
be taken let it not be until after we
have exhausted every other means to

INCREASES
Ia Setting a Jury for the
Haywood Case
Out of the Twenty-Three
Talesman a Lone Tenn
pOrary JurXman.

Boise. May 23.-The net results of
the tenth day of the Haywood trial
were partial wedding out of the
talesmen Of the second special venire
and the partial qualification of one
juror. The examination shows a re-
action of interest in the Steunenberg
murder case and that a rediscussion
of the facts established and disputed,
is by natural process disqualifving
many citizens for Jury service in the
case and indicates that the publicity
given to the examination of talesmen
has widely increased popular knowl-
edge as to the means of artistically
avoiding jury service.
When the sixty men OF the second
special venire were presented and il
was announced that the court would
hear excuses. twenty-three marched
forward. Five petitions were fatty
denied. nine temporarily denied. and
six granted. The other three did not
bother to present excuses. Then be-
gan an attempt to fill seat No. 9. The
first five talesmen had opinions that
would require evidence TO change. and
ali went down on challenges from the
state.
The clerk successively drew the
names of four talesmen whose petit
tiOns for excuse had just been tenn
porarily denied in order to give them
time TO get certificates from physi
clans as to the illness of themselves
or their wives. II was agreed that
they should all be passed until the
court finally decided on their applica-
tions.
The tenth and last talesman called
was Henry Curtis, farmer. who gave
every indication Of qualifying. AS he
went to the hands of the defense for
examination the trial was adjourned
until tomorrow.
What amounts to one-third of the
new venire was exhausted this after
noon. Some men who have watched
the trial believe that the venire will
not fill the one certain and the nine
or ten prospective vacancies in the
jury. The next will be the thirteenth
challenge out of the twenty allowed.
