The Tmes-Dspatch Chinese famine

having been remitted to date Reports
indicate that help will be needed for
about three months, until the spring
crops como In. Tho attempts IRE not so
much to alleviate conditions, as to save
life, for actual starvation has set In in
earnest over u large dNtrict. Over a
half million people are sleeping In the
open air around Chinllang, living on
roots, leaves and the bark of trees.
In addition TO starvation, various dis
eases have broken out among the people,
and many are dying of fevers and small
pox. The medical missionaries CT all
denominations have been assigned to tho
care of the refugees, and all intelli-
gent foreigners and lay missionaries
are being pressed into service as

The Chinese officials. proverballys slow

HART WAS DISABLED
 AND LOST THE FIGHT
With Broken Wrist He Held Schreck of For Twenty one Rounds.

TonOpah, May 30-After hard fight. the seconds of Marvin Hart threw up the sponge in the twenty first round and Mike Schreck was de- clared winner. Hart broke his right wrist in his fight with Gardner. and three days ago. it is claimed. broke it again while training. His hand went back on him after the sixth round to- day. but he fought like a demon until in sheer mercy his seconds threw up the sponge.
 Hart was the aggressor nearly all through and in the eighteenth came near putting Schreck away. There were no weak spots in the work of Schreck. He was there all the time. and administered severe punishment to Hart
 There was not so much science as slugging and the men fought all over the ring. In the twentieth only the gong saved Hart from the terrific on slaught of Schreck. In the middle. of thes twenty first, the sponge was thrown up. much to the surprise of everybody. When the news was learn ed that Hart had been hurt, there were cheers for his pluck. He declar- ed that Schreck had not hurt him and that he would have finished him but for the wound breaking out afresh.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
 ON RAILROAD PROBLEMS
His Advocacy of the the Absolute GOvern-
 ment Control of the Roads
The Long Expected Declaration by the President Was Made in the Course of His Indianapolis Memorial Day Address. |,

Indianapolis, May 30.- President Roosevelt today delivered the princi- pal address at the unVeiling of the monument to General Henry w. Law ion. The speech was devoted to a dis Cussion of railway problems and incl dentally the president paid a warm tribute to Oliver Morton, the war gov ornor of Indiana.
 The president arrived at 1O.3S from Canton. accompanied by Vice Presi- dent Fairbanks. and was driven 10 MT Fairbanks home. where luncheon was served, after which he was escorted To the court house square by three battalions and a battery of United States troops. and thirteen companies of the G. A. R. and other organiZa- tiOns. The parade route of two miles was lined with cheering masses of people.
 The president. after addressing him. self to eulogy of General Lawton. and having paid tribute to the sol diers of the Union and the Confeder- acy. plunged into a discussion of the regulation of the corporations. He said:
 ''One great problem that We have before us is to preserve the rights of property; and these can only be pre- served if We remember that they are in less jeopardy from the socialist and the anarchist than from the predatory man of wealth. It has become evident that to refuse to invoke the power of the nation to restrain the wrongs com mitted by the man of great wealth who does evil is not only to neglect the interests of the public, but is to neg lect the interests of the man of means who acts honorably by his fellows. The power of the nation must be ex- erted to stop crimes of cunning no less than crimes of violence. There can be no halt in the course We have delib- erately elected to pursue. the policy of asserting the right of the nation. so far as it has the power, to supervise and control the business use Of wealth. especially in its corporate form. Today l wish to say word to you about the first and most important feature of this task, the control of the common carriers doing an interstate business: a control absolutely vested in the ma ton. while in so far as the common carriers also transport the mails it is in my opinion probable that whether their business is or is not interstate it is to the same extent subject to fed eral control. under that clause of the constitution granting to the national government power to establish post roads and therefore by necessary i'm plication power to take all action nec- essary in order to keep them at the highest point of efficiency.

 Due regard to your exalted station forbide that l should reply tO your let ter in language which would be justi- fled under the provocation 1t offers: If you were not president-but I am permitted by my sense of .propriety to forget what Is due to your great office. as well as ts myself. l hope. howev- CT. that my reply will not be consid- cred less forceful because of the ab- sence of harse language.
 Permit me to say in conclusion. that but for your gratuitOus and ir- revaient assault upon my father. I should probably have been able to re- strain myself from making any reply to your letter. notwithstanding it is easy to refute every suggestion of fraudulent or improper conduct you make against me. but construing as I do your reference to my father as a threat to blast his reputation unless I remain silent. silence is impossible"

THE POWER OF WEALTH
 AGAINST PROSECUTION
Frank Heney Charges That Hc Is Be- ing Handicapped by the Capitalist Element.

San Francisco. May 30.-In a state ment issued tonight Assistant District Attorney Heney. at the head of the graft prosecution, outlines the policy of the men who have made possible the indictments of nearly a score or San Franciscos capitalists. and de- nounces as malicious falsehoods the charges which have been made that the prosecutors are influenced by pO- litical motives and openly charges that some of the most powerful financial interests in the country have been brought into the battle nthe side of the alleged bribe givers. Mir. Heney declares that the greatest crisis in the graft exposure is now at hand. and that the greatest crisis in the history of San Francisco goes side by side with 1t. He charges that President Calhoun of the United sRailroads has sought the aid of the wealthiest bank CTS and merchants of the city to free him from the clutches of the prosecu- ton and prevent his having to pay the penalty for his alleged crimes.
 4 meeting was held a short time ago. he says. at which Calhoun called together a number of the heads of the largest san Francisco banks and sought their aid through the thinly yelled request for backing in the car rying on of the car strike. Powerful influences which has been set at work to injure the prosecution. Heney said. have succeeded in hampering the pros ecutors to a certain etxent as they have raised a sentiment of doubt as to =, f,,.~. fsrl
 ton, and he calls upon the citizens Ot San Francisco to give the fullest as- sistance to the work still to be done
 Admitting that the sixteen confessed bribe takers on the board of supervis- CTS have been promised immunity from prosecution Heney declares that this step was essential to carrying out the work at hand. He states that ev- cry effort to gain legal proof of cor ruptiOn in the bribery deals failed un- til concessions were secured from the supervisors and that to secure these promise of immunity was given. In answer to the cry which he said has been raised by the capitalist interests that the supervisors be punished. he points out that while the prosecutors were laboring for months to obtain proof concerning the briberies none of the alleged bribe-givers came forward to their assistance and as soon as they became involved they raised the cry of punish the bribe-takers and let us go free"
 Heney asks the pertinent question: (Which is the man who should be punished for the crime if one must be allowed to go free. the confessed bribe- taker or the unconfessed bribe-givers Let us show - he continues. that no no man. however wealthy he may be, is greater than the law. Let us prove that the power of wealth cannot cor rupt our courts and prevent the car rying out of justice"

| ing the last six years has been a step in advance in the right direction All action taken by the administration under these and the preexisting laws has been just and proper. Every suit undertaken during that period has been a suit not merely warranted, but required. by the facts; a suit in the interest of the people as d whole. and. in the long run. particularly in the in terest of stockholders as well as in the interest of business men of prop erty generally. There can be no swerving from the course that has thus been mapped out in the legisla- tion actually enacted and in the mes sages in which have asked for fur ther legislation. We best serve the interests of the honest railway men, when We announce that We will follow out precisely this course. IL is the course of real. of ultimate conserva- tism. There will be no halt in the for ward movement toward a full devel- opment of this policy: and those who wish us to take step backward or to stand still. if their wishes Were real iZed. would find that they had invited an outbreak of the very radicalism they fear. There must be progressive legislative and administrative action for the correction of the evils which every sincere man must admit to have existed in railroad management in the past.
 Such additional legislation as that for which l have asked in the past. and especially that for which I asked in r.at a. I,. .t- session of congress. is not merely in the interest of the public. but most emphatically in the interest of every honest railway manager and of all in- vestors or would-be investors in rail- way securities There must be vested in the federal government full pow CT of supervision and control over the railways doing interstate business; power in many respects analogous 10 and as complete as that the govern ment exercises over the national banks. IL must possess the power to exercise supervision over the future issuance of stocks and bonds. either through a na- tional incorporation (which l should prefer) or in some similar fashion. such supervision to include the frank publicity of everything which would be investors and the public at large have a right to know. The federal government will thus be able to pre- vent all overCapitalization in the fu- ture; 10 prevent any man hereafter from plundering others by loading railway properties with obligations and pocketing the money inslead of spending it in improvements and in T. any man acting in such fashion should be held to q criminal accountability. It should be declared contrary to public

The replacement of the sev- enteenth juror peremptorily chal- lenged was in progress when court adjourned on Monday and will be re- sumed when the trial reopens.
 There are still three challenges un- used and it is expected the fourth va cancy will be created by excusing Jur- or Tourtellottc. who insists that he is opposed to capital punishment.
 Senator Borah, assistant counsel for the state, was today at Caldwell. where Steunenberg lived and met his death. He interviewed some witnesses and revisited the scene of the crime
 Carl H. Duncan. a young man who came here disguised and armed, and was arrested on suspicion Tuesday. is still held at the city prison and an extended investigation of his career and conduct is in progress here and in other cities where he lived. It is ex- pected that he will be taken to court tomorrow, charged with carrying con- cealeG weapons. None of the social ists in Boise accept Duncan as a mem Der of their particular branch of the party. pr. Harman Titus of Se- attle. one of the socialist writers at tending the trial, had an extended in- terview with Duncan this afternoon. He declared afterwards that he thought it would not be to the best in- terests of socialism to have the young man released at this time. Duncan insisted he had not come to Boise to shoot any one.
 Memorial Day was universally ob- served in Boise. There was q parade of Grand Army veterans. public speaking and decoration of the graves of the soldier dead.

It appears that Cora was dissatisfied with farm life and this with the invalid condition of her sister. made her discouraged. The evidence tended to show that the girl shot her sister and dragged the body to a creek. then shot herself and sunk in the water.
