"REFORMv IN CHICAGO.
Mayor Busse Switches the Police
Force in TenderIoin District.

Chicago. May 21.-Mayor Busse, in an
attempt TO ''renovate" the 'tenderloin"
district OF Chicago, today made the most
sweeping change ever made in the local
police department. He transferred the en-
tire police force of the district, from cap
tain down, embracing 240 men, to other
parts of the city, and appointed other
men. 1t has been charged that the po-
lice in the district had countenanced vio-
lation of the law.
The move was hailed by acclaim by re-
formers. but the mayor nonplussed other
reforrners by a flat-footed statement that
considering Chicago large foreign popu-
lahon. he would not attempt to enforce
the Sunday saloon closing law unless
forced to do so by the courts.

Odessa. May 2I-The Black Hundreds
took advantage of the funeral today of
the police officials, assassinated at the
central police bureau yesterday, to re-
new their attacks on the Jews. The
whole Jewish population became terror
stricken. All the stores were closed and
the streets were almost deserted
Jews and students were barbarously
attacked and beaten. and Jewish houses
were fired into. One preteXt for this
shooting was that shots had been fired
from the houses in question, the we'll

STRONG DEFENSE OF SENATOR FORAKER
BY WELL KNOWN SANDUSKY PIJBLISEIE

Sandusky, O., May 2t-Sharp issue
with the recent utterances of Chairman
Brown of the state central committee
was taken today by l. T. Mack, a well
known publisher of this city.
Mr.. Mack, while disclaiming authori-
ty to speak for any person except him
self, said he was confident the senior
senator from this state would be re-
turned to his seat without difficulty
when the time arrived for choosing his
successor. He asserted also that much
of the criticism that has recently been
directed against Senator Foraker in
certain parts of the state were unjust
and unrea sonable.

FORGERY IN THE
THIRD DEGREE
President John R. Hegeman of
the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company Indicted.

New York. May, 2l.-The special grand
jury which has concerned Itself with the
conduct of the insurance business in New
York county. has concluded its investiga-
ton OF the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company and today returned ten indict-
ments against the company's president,
John r. Hegeman. Seven of the indict-
ments charge forgery in the third de-
gree, while the other three charge per-
jury All are based on what have come
to be known as the ''year-end TRANSACT
tons"
These consisted of certain changes in
the conpany's books effected prior to the
submission of the annual report to the
state insurance department, which, it is
alleged, were designed to place the com
pany in a more favorable light than the
facts warranted

NOT STAND-PATTERS.
Majority of Manufacturers Favor
Revision of the Tariff.

New York, May 21.-The report of the
committee on tariff and reciprocity,
including the result of a poll of the
members as to their views on tariff re-
vision. will be made to the National
Association of Manufacturers of the
United States tomorrow. Much inter
est centers in what the committee has
learned, and its report is the subject of
much speculation tonight.
While the committee has carefully
guarded it's findings, it was stated with
some show of authority that the poll
has found so per cent of the 5000 MEM
bers of the association in favor of a
revision of the Dingley tariff. This
practically viii be the reverse of the
expression elected by the Home Market
club of Boston in q similar canvass.

here. There is no such turmoil as has
been depicted.
The attacks on Senator Foraker that
have been made by certain people are,
in my opinion. unjustifled. Mr.. For
aker is admittedly one of the ablest. IL
not the ablest man in the senate today.
He has done much work for his party,
and he deserves well of it. He was de-
feated for governor by treachery in his
own party. but he came out and worked
as hard for the Republican party at
the next election as he had ever done.
Secretary Taft has never done any
thing for the Republican party of Ohio.
He never has been even political fac
tor. As 1 understand it. he has never
claimed to be or tried to be a political
power. He has a delightful personal
ity, but as a party leader he is not to
be compared for moment with Sem
ator Foraker"

New York. May 21.-The National Assoc

annual convention here today. The asso-
citation placed itself on record by the
adoption Of report submitted by the

The posse then retired for reinforce
ments. The news spread rapidly, and
by 10 o'clock 500 armed men were on
the scene and started in pursuit of the
negroes who had escaped. One of them
was captured and taken before Mrs.
Moore but she failed to identify him.
The negro, however, was identified as
the man who shot Hare, and he was
started for the Reidsville Jail, together
with Padgetts wife and son.
On the way the officers were over
taken by about seventy-five men, who
took the prisoners from them. The
woman was told to run and, as she did
so was riddled with bullets, her son
being shot to pieces where he stood.
The negro who assaulted Mrs. Moore
has not been captured, but it is re
ported that he is surrounded in a negro
house and that in all probability he has
been killed.
