RULE OF MONEY OR LABOR
EVIL, DECLARES BREWER
Justice Points Out Dancer from
Combinations of Financiers
or Workinemen.

Washington, Nov. 29-Justice David
J. Brewer of the supreme court of the
United States yesterday spoke at the
Mount Pleasant Congregational church
in this city on Our National Oppor-
tunities."
While he dwelt especially upon the
power of Christianity to uplift the
masses of the people and of it's eff
cheney in bringing the immigrants
who swarm to the United States into
harmony with American institutions,
he incidentally took occasion to speak
of the influence of special interests
upon the welfare Of the people gener-
ally.
High and low, rich and poor" he
declared, should be protected.E We
can never come to the full measure
of that truth so long as we permit any
group of financiers, any persons or
corporations, to crush the individual
nor can we allow any labor organiza
ton to dictate any course we should
follow"

st. Petersburg, Nov 29.-The dec
laration of the government, read by
Premier Stolypin before the duma to-
day, was received with dismay by the
octoberists and constitutional democrats
and with open exaltation by members
of the right party The keynote of the
address ,was reiteration of the idea
of autocratic power of the emperor to
enable him to guarantee security and
welfare in the area of disorder.
Expects to Outline LegisIation.
The announcement also was made
that the duma is expected to take its
cue from the administration in the
matter of legislation, and the premier
outlined what future Legislation was
expected. He eXcoriated the radical
parties as fosterers of crime and sedi-
tions, and said their excesses would
no longer be tolerated in Russia.
Opposes All Alliances.

Goldfield. New, Nov. 29-Nine mask
ed men yesterday entered the freight
depot of the Tonopah, Goldfield & Bull
Frog railroad, overpowered the watch
man, blew open the safe, and secured
several thousand dollars. Several ar
rests have been made on suspicion
After taking all the cash in sight the
robbers tore up a lot of paper which
they thought was checks, but which
was in reality a large amount of mon
ey represented in scrip issued by the
John S. Cook bank. The scrip was
made payable to .bearer" and is the
money currency in Goldfield.
Think Haul Was Big One.
Although denied by the local rail.
way officers, it is believed the robbers
made a big haul from the railroad, as
large amounts of money have been
taken in in the last few days through
the freight office, and as all the Gold.
field banks are either closed or only
paying out a limited amount of money
the agent was carrying quite sum in
the company's safe, supposedly well
guarded
The freight depot is located far from
any other buildings. The robbers first
overpowered two watchmen in the
freight yard and threw them into box
cars Then the. operator was over
powered.
Neat Job on the Safe.
Three of the robbers watched theil
prisoners while the other six did the
work at the depot. They dynamited
the safe so neatly as to indicate that
they were professionals.
The robbers soon left, but their pris
oners were not able to relase them
selves until three hours later, wher
the first alarm was given. S. w
Brooks, resident agent of the railroad
arrived upon the scene and began ar
investigation.

KNOTS ARE INVALID
Many Marriages Void Because Greek
Priest Was Not an American
Citizen,

st. Louis, Nov. 90 Hundreds of
marriages are technically invalidated
because Father Peter c. Phiambolis,
formerly of Boston, but now of the

American citizen at the time he SOL
emnized them.
Father Phiambolis applied for citi-
zenship papers late Saturday, and it
was then that he learned of his predic.
ament as to the marriages. When the
priest was asked about the matter he
chiefly was concerned lest his congre-
cation should learn of his ambition TO
become a citizen.
