DIAMOND JUBILEE
Emperor Francis Joseph Celebrates
Event Amid Gorgeous Splendor.

LNtuI Amlu UOrSGOuS SplcuuOEs
Vienna, Dec. 2.-In honor of En-
peror Francis Joseph's diamond jubi-
less, the city was illuminated last
night Oh a scale of unprecedented
brilliancy. The cathedral and city
hall and all the public buildings were
outlined in electric lights and the eff
feet was enhanced by powerful search
lights and Bengal lights playing from
the high towers. The outer gate of the
imperial Eofburg, the residence of the
Austrian princes since the thirteenth
century, bore a huge Illuminated de-
vice of the imperial crown fronted by
columns seventy feet high which were
covered with thousands of electric
bulbs and surmounted by gas favaus.
In the windows of all the private resi-
rences or every street were lighted
candles.
The pressure of the enormous
crowds in the streets caused several
serious accidents. Three persons were
killed and sixty or more injured,
twenty-five of them seriously. At one
time panic ensued directly in front
of the Eofburg, where the crowds
converge1 from three directions. Hun
dreds were trampled to the ground,
among them being Parliamentary
Deputy Holzl and a woman, both of
whom were crushed to death.
The emperor announces partial
amnesty and has conferred high dec
orations on Baron Won Aehrenthal,
the foreign minister, and the Austro-
Hungarian ambassadors abroad.

SU|C|OEO ON
W|FE'S GRAVE
Wife Suicided on Friday, No
vember Ii, and Husband
Has Been Despondent

New York, Dec. 2.-Depressed by
an apparently uncomfortable melan-
clohia which had haunted him since
the suicide of his wife on an ill
omened Gay, Friday, November 13,
last, DR.. Randolph F. Hass, Lexing-
ton avenue dentist, today ended his
life by swallowing poison. He was
kneeling on the grave of his wife in
Woodlawn cemetery as he drank the
fatal potion and watchman who
some days ago had prevented his sui
eide with O. revolver on the same spot.
was unable to reach him in time to
prevent the accomplishment of the
same purpose today. :
DR.. Haas died within few moments.
One of his closest friends, DR.. Philip
Goldstein, upon hearing of the trag-
edy, told OF the heart-broken existence
DR.. Haas had led since the death Of
his wife: that he had daily visited and
placed flowers on the grave, had
closed his home and gone to live with
his sisrer-in-law and had neglected
his practice. His professional work.
it was said, had been largely dropped
for some time before his wifes death,
because Of an apparently insane jeal-
ousy on her part toward his patients.
For more than fortnight before
shooting herself, she had compelled
him to remain away from his office,
and it was as he was leaving their
apartments to fill some important en-
gagements that she took her life. Mrs
Haas was remarkably beautiful
woman anG the two had been married
but a short time.

GOVERNMENT Of
MORO ALEXIS IS |.

Tyrant Well Planned and

SPILLED IN THE WHOLE AFFAIR

ents Fled to Foreign Consulates.

Port Al Prince, Dec. 2.-The people
of Port Au Prince have revolted
against the government. They are
now in possession of the city. There
has been no fighting with the gov.
ernment troops. A provisional gov
ernment has been established and
Gen. egitime has accepted the presi-
dency of the new administration.
The events of the morning cams
before they were expected. An un-
easiness was noticed throughout the
night on the part of the people, but
1t was not thought that the outbreak
would occur SO quickly nor that the
movement would be successful with
out the shedding of a drop of blood.
The deposed president, Nord Alexis.
Is still at the palace. The members
of diplomatic corps were in confer
ence at . o'clock this morning for the
purpose OF taking measures to facili-
tate and hasten his departure from
the republic. The coup has been re-
markably successful. All the remain
ing ministers together with the high
military officials under Nord Alexis
have taken refuge in the various for
efgn legations. These are the same
men who nine months ago were pro-
testing vociferously against the grant
ing of tl,e right of refuge to the un-
successful revolutionists by the for.
eign diplomatic and consular repre-.
sentatives. Today they are only too
happy ID seek the protection Of for
eign flag to escape the fury Of the
people.
The only man to remain loyal to
Nord Alexis is Gen. Camille Gabriel,
his nephew, who for the last six
months has directed the. policy of
the Alexis administration. Gabriel, is
at the palace with Alexis. The move-
ment had been we'll organized. The
final preparations were completed last
evening and in the early hours of the
morning bands of citizens, organized
and armed, moved quietly about the
town and took possession of the vari-
GUS points of vantage. No shots were
fired.
---.. No Surprise.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The news of
the establishment of provisional gov
ernment in Hayti created little or no
surprise at the state department. The
policy Of the United States. covering
a long term of years, has been to pro-
ceed very slowly in the recognition,
of provisional governments.

though they were seen escaping in an
automobile, all trace of them was
soon lost. The bank vault was
blown open about 2 o'clock, at which
time the last Of three explosions was

Charles E. Davis, charged with the
murder OF DIR. Frederick T. Rustin,

said the witness. "Of course l could
not carry him. I half carried him,
however, and as we reached the door
could no longer sustain his weight
and he fell across the door sill. Then
screamed for Hannah, my servant.
We got him into the hallway. He
was still conscious and told me to
call DR.. Lord, which I did. also
called DR.. Langfeldt, who was near
neighbor."
Mrs. Rustin then recited the events
which followed. or how the physicians
came, examined the wound, decided
on an operation and took the injured
man to hospital.

did not see revolver around the
house at any time before or after the
shooting. She said she could not
have seen q person leave the vicinity
of the porch, owing to an overhang-
ing roof.
On examination, witness admitted
she had M watch and could only ap-
proximate the time.
Mrs. RIstin was quick to detect any
attempt of Mr.. Gurley to lead her into
traps. and easily avoided making re-
plies unfavorable to the prosecution.

ance wnen he died, Of which amount

DUAL CONTEST
Cannon to Be Constructed to Pune.
ture' War Dirigible Balloons.

Berlin, Dec. 2.-Experiments that
have been going here for some time
have shown that it is almost impos-
siblel for dirigible balloons to escape
from the fire of field pieces and rifles
on the ground by going to high
attitudes. The greatest height the
airships can attain successfully and
safely still leaves them within range
of the special cannon for shooting at
balloons, with which the experiments
are made. Furthermore, the range of
these guns is to be increased. 1t is
the opinion of experts that dirigible
balloons will have to rely solely upon
their own speed to escape the fire of
q properly equipped enemy.

being brought to bear on the COM
plex problems of existence we are
facing, with the view of co-ordinating
this knowledge for the uplift of hu-
manity.''
Speaking of the national council and
its work, Mrs. Rosenberg said:
"The council represents 10000 Jew
ish women banded for work along
philanIhropic, legislative and cooper.
ative lines. Among the most interest.

come addresses were delivered by rep-
resentatives of various local and state!
organizations.
During the afternoon many express
sions Of regret were heard from dele

Senatorial Beliefs.

Herman B. Walker, writing for the Peoples
Lobby of New Jersey, gives the following as the
theory of our representative form of government as
it exists today:
Under form of government, that of demo-
cratic republic elect representatives to make and
enforce the laws. Matters of routine management
of public affairs left to their discretion. On
fundamental and close questions, and proposed
changes reforms in public policy, the representa-
tives are instructed through the medium of party
platforms and pledges or by referendum voting.
Yet Senator Borah believes that the man is super
ior to the platform-the uninstructed man.
Section ten of the Idaho state constitution says:
The people shall have the right to assemble in
peaceable manner to consult for their common good
to instruct their representatives and to petition the
legislature for the redress of grievances
The constitution further declares that all political
power is inherent in the people Senator Hepburn
does not take any stock in these constitutional de-
clarations.

Prejudice Against Silver.

Because congress failed to make appropriation
for the transportation of silver dollars the west and
the SOUTH those silver using sections of the country
may have to accept the eastern substitute of and
two dollar bills and permit the hard dollars to
cumulate in the national treasury
AS far back as the memory of man reaches it has
been the annual custom of congress to appropriate
money for the payment of expressage silver coin
other than subsidiary coin and the west has taken
silver dollars in preference to paper dollars
But finally of the wise men of the nation
bethought themselves that congress giving alto
gether too much recognition to the white metal and
the appropriation omitted. There was quite
much in their course as in most of the per-
formances of the monometaic monomaniacs who
have occupied the pedestal of fame since 1896

arranged in the inner circle of the republican man
agement, carried out by unaccustomed to the
methods imposed upon him by the directors of the
of the campaign. For example Mr., Taft made these
statements about Mr.. Bryan:
Has he ever given any practical demonstration
of his ability to meet problems and solve them !?
Has he ever done anything but formulate PROPOSE
tons in his closet of utterly mpractcable char
acter, with view of attracting votes by their
pauS1blty and very little with view of their OPP
Grafton? by their fruits we shall know them"
What is the history of Mr.. Bryan? 1t is from be-
ginning to end record of failures on public ques-
tons
The entire country understands very we'll that all
the popularity that Mr. Roosevelt has achieved as
president has been gained through the practical
adoption of ideas to which Mr.. Bryan has given
publicity and has persistenty kept before the public
Mr.. Bryan has formulated propositions as Mr.
Taft said, and Mr.. Roosevelt and the progressive
wing of the republican party have appropriated them
and President Roosevelt has worked them out to
his own great gain out among the common people.
Mr.. Taft in endeavor to shine by the reflected
light of Bryan reforms is dull and nsipid when he
charges that Mr.. Bryan has done nothing but form
ulate propositions of impractibe character.
If So why is Mr.. Taft trying to ride into power on
those propositions, handed to him by the man in
the white house, who has vainly endeavored to in
duce his party to adopt them? Mr. Taft's own
nominating convention repudiated them and he is
trying to repudiate them himself in saying that
they of an utterly mpracticable character"

Taft Assaults Bryan.

Mr.. Taft, presidential candidate the republi-
SIDE has Unexpectedly appeared in the political
forum traducer of the public character of Mr..
Bryan presidential candidate the democratic side
His newly assumed attitude is so foreign to the
traditions of his past to render certain that his
managers have placed words in his mouth that would
not have been uttered by the normal Taft.
They have been driven to desperation by the
steady and unchecked accumulation of sentiment in
favor of the democratic candidate, being even will
ing to emphasize their fellowship with the Sensational
vndictve and utterly untruthfu1 Hearst and his
string of yellow newspapers
Mr. Taft is largely academic in his attacks on his
opponent giving evidence of plan of assault
