Murder by Dynamite and Those

Paterson, N. j., Mar. 24.-President
Roosevelt states in answer to an ap-
peal from Mayor Mcbride to exclude
La QUESTION: Sociale," from the mails
for the purpose Of suppressing the
publication, that besides directing that
the newspaper be denied the use of
the mails, he has requested the de-

tary Loeb as the reply to the appeal
Of Mayor Mcbride, who made public
the presidents letter Monday night,
la QUESTION: Sociale," recently pub
lished an appeal of inflammatory char
acter which resulted in the action
taken.
President Roosevelt's letter to the
department of justice as sent to Mayor
Mcbride in part follows:
by my direction the postmaster
general is to exclude La QUESTION:
Sociale, Of Paterson, N. j., from the
mails, and 1t will not be admitted to
the mails unless by order of the court,
or unless you advise me further that
II must be admitted. Please see II 1t
Is not possible to prosecute criminally,
under section of the law that is avail
able, the men that are interested in
the sending out of this anarchistic
and murderous publication. They are
of course the enemies Of mankind and
every effort should be strained to hold
them accountable for an offense far
more infamous than that Of our ordi-
nary murderer.
1.-THE newspaper article in question
advocates murder by dynamite. It
specifically advocates the murder of
enlisted men of the United States
army and the officers of the police
force, and the burning of the houses of
private citizens. The preaching of
murder and arson is certainly as Inn
moral as the circulation Of obscene
and lascivious literature and If the
practice is not already forbidden by
the law It should be forbidden. The
immigration law now prohibits the
entry into the United States of any
person who entertains or advocates
the views expressed in this newspaper
article"

A SERIES or MYSTERIOUS HOTEL
RossERIEs EXPLAINED.
For Years She Had Entertained Law
Ishly In Paris and the Riviera
Caught In the Act

Paris, Mar. 24.-A series Of mystert
Gus hotel robberies on the Riviera, ex.
tending over many years, has been ex-
planned in the arrest OF the beautiful,
charming but masquerading countess
Of Monteil. For years the countess Of
Monteil has entertained lavishly both
at Paris and the Riviera. Her wealth
and jewels have drawn comment and
admiration from far and near. Now
she is declared one Of the most In
genious, successful and audacious
hotel thieves that has ever troubled
the hotel proprietors Of France. Her
arrest at Nice reveals her not as the
captivating, brilliant countess, but as
a thoroughly up-to-date burglar, car
rying concealed In her bewitching gar
ments an array of burglars imple-
ments Of intricate workmanship which
opened to her any hotel room on the
Riviera, which she knew to contain
the coveted wealth of money and valu
ables.
Wherever the countess stopped,
there always did mysteriously mex
plicable robbers battle the police.
Valuables disappeared from the rooms
of rich Americans, in the most mys-
FERROUS manner for the doors were
always found locked and windows fas-
tened.
It was several years ago that the
first thoughts of police suspicion drift
ed toward the countess, and her sen.
sational arrest at Nice at one Of the
famous hotels is the elimination Of
long and patient watchfulness by
French detectives. Her undoing came
In a moment of over-eagerness to rob.
Waiting detectives found her envel-
oped in long and beautiful cloak,
bending over the door Of the room Of
a wealthy American tourist. When
the woman was searched the police
found hidden in special pockets of her
clothes, pincers, files, skeleton keys,
screwdrivers and no fewer than TWEEN
ty-seven pairs of small delicately made
nippers used by burglars to unlock and
lock a door with its own key when
the key is on the inside of the door.

CHICAGO LOST THE SUIT.
Supreme Court Reversed Commerce
Commission in Meat Case.

Washington, Mar. 24.-The case OF
the Interstate commerce commission
VS.. the Chicago Great Western Rail-
way company, known as the meat rate
case, and involving the right of the
company to reduce the freight rate on
live stock products without making a
similar reduction In the rate on live
stock itself, was decided by the su-
preme court of the United States Mon
day In favor Of the company. The suit
was instituted In the interest of the city
Of Chicago, It being alleged that the
change had worked incalculable hard
ship to Chicago by diverting shipments
Of live stock from that city to st. Paul
and to Missouri river points. The In
terstate commerce found that the
change of the rate on one article with
out corresponding change on the 9TH
er was unlawful, but the courts re-
fused TO uphold that view.
Justice Brewer found the reduction
to be due to competition and there
fore, as he viewed the matter, com
mendable rather than otherwise.

Berlin, Mar. 24.-The emperor has
been spending two or three hours daily
for the past five days conducting re-

last Society evening" of the season
1t the Royal Opera, which was held
Monday night in the presence Of
brilliant and distinguished audience.
During the rehearsals the emperor
himself welded the baton and gave
the singers directions as to how they
should impersonate the roles. He fol-
lowed his own ideas in the interpre-
tation Of the music, allowing no inter-
terepce from the professional con-
iuctors. The performance Monday
night was heard by a crowded house
and was received with uncommon en-
thusiasm, the audience little suspect
ing who had drilled the performers.
Those who appeared in the production
say that the emperor's energy wore
IN their nerves severely during the
rehearsals.
