REPUBLIC TO BE OVERTHROW
Powerful Secret Council at Work with
the Object Of Placing Helen
Of New York. on the
Throne.

London.-To overthrow the Amer
ican republic and establish q monarchy
instead. with Helen Of New York as
queen. is the modest scheme OF Louis
A. Gourdain, now stopping at the
Savoy hotel.
Attention was first drawn to Gonr-
dams scheme by the publication in
the fashionable Morning Post Of an
advertisement reading:
"Royalists Of the United States Of
America organized for the purpose of
securing real liberty and to crown
Helen OF New York queen. We desire
the aid Of the royalists Of the world
who can place our cause before their
respective sovereigns and secure their
practical support.
LOUIS A. GOURDAIN."
While Gourdain was explaining his
plans his dark eyes flashed in antici
patton. He explained that one secret
council, composed OF seven members,
had been sent by the supreme council
OF chicago on private mission to the
crowned heads Of the world.
According to Gourdain this secret
council arrived on the steamer Lu-
cania June 20 and is now scattered in
st. Petersburg. Berlin, Madrid, Rome,
Tokyo and London trying to interest
the heads Of the respective govern
ments.
This movement to overthrow the
American republic said Gourdain,
"and establish a monarchy began In
Chicago in 1908. Our secret organiza-
tion is represented in every state and
can control 100000 votes. We not

BATHING NELSON VIC
TORlOUS OVER CANS.

Colma Arena, San Francisco, Sept.
10.-Battling Nelson clinched his
claim to the lightweight pugilistic
championship by defeating Joe Cans
for the second time at Colma arena
yesterday afternoon. The fight ended
in the 21st round when Cans, beaten
down by a succession of blows from
his sturdy conqueror, failed to get up
on his feet within the count of ten.
The veteran negro fighter was Sc
verely punished but the champion,
too, bore the marks Of battle. From
the first clang of the gong to the
last moment Nelson forced the fight

battered down the older and less Wig

the lad from Hegeswich. Nelson, in
this round, rained right and left
blows to jaw and body and Cans sank

die Smith wave his hands, apparently
too far gone to hear him count. Not
until the count Of ten was finished
did Cans, ashen pale, his face terribly

rise. He realized, however, that 1t was
too late, and feebly declared:

The fight was spectacular, n at
no time did it appear that Cans had a
chance to win. Time and again he
would shoot wicked punches to Mel

never for an instant wavered. Failing
to arrest the rushing champion at
any stage, Cans seemed to lose heart
and gradually weakened, though he
often rallied and fought back ferce1y.

EUROPEAN ATTITUDE IN
RESPECT TO CONCRET|

AT the recent International Cong
ress of Architects, held at Vienna,
concrete a. a structural material was
the subject of considerable discussion
says the Cement Age, New York. In
the consideration of concrete con.
struction there was manifested no dis
position to retreat, but, on the con.
trary, a spirit of enthusiasm prevail
ed. An interesting feature of the
proceedings was the suggestion that
steps be taken to educate the people
at large as to the utility of concrete
construction, and along lines that
would insure sound workmanship. 1t
was even urged that study of the sub.
ject be made obligatory in technical
schools, and that workmen be given
special opportunity to acquire practi,
cal experience in concrete work. 9th:
er provisions of the same character
were suggested, such as inspection
by experts and the prompt publica.
ton of accounts of concrete failures.
Thus there was not only recognition
OF the extreme Importance of this
material as used at present, but evi.
IDENTIFY the conviction that the future
would witness a marked increase in
concrete construction of every des-
cription. The attitude of the archi.
tects of Europe on this subject should
be encouraging to the members of
the profession in this country who
are making a special study of concrete
constructor.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND THE PANIC.

AND THE PANIC.
From the San Francisco Star.
Tt was in 1896 that the Republican
party adopted the standard by which
it must now be judged. In their ma
donal platform that year they loaded
the Harrison panic, which began in
1892, on the shoulders of the Demo
cratic party. They asserted that the
party in power must be held respon-
sible for the panic. According to their
platform, the party in power had ''pre.
cipitated panfc." and halted enter.
prise" And therefore, what? This,
according to the Republican platform
OF 1896:
EVERY consideration OF public SAT
ETY. and individual interest demands
tina the government be escued from
the hands of those who have shown
themselves incapable of conducting
it."
According to good Republican doc
trine in 1896, it is an objectionable
Sh ~ poASASoA QoAy ~ hoNO
panic while it is in power, and it is
not a valid excuse that crops fail or
that the hand of the Lord is laid up
on the land. That vas Republican doc
trine in 1896, and it is still an article
in Republican party faith that the
Democratic party was responsible for
the panic Of 1892 and therefore deser-
we'd defeat in 1896.
So b question arises. What answer
can the Republican party make when
it is charged with responsibility for
the present panic? What excuse a
they for the occurrence of a panic
during a Republican administration
and under the highest and most "pro-
tective" tariff this country has yer
had? Can they persuade the people
that a high tariff is a magical, In in
fallible creator of wealth, happiness,
full employment and prosperity?
The emergency arose, the panic
came; and OF what avail was the
Dingley law? Did it keep us all rich
and prosperous? Did it keep in m
ployment at high wages all who were
willing to work? And when the panic
came, what man in all the country
looked to the tariff for relief? What
man was silly enough to suggest that
the Dingley law would in a few months
re-open the mills and factories? Yet
why not?
When business began to improve
some nine years ago, the Republican
leaders and organs pointed with pride
to b Dingley law as the giver of
renewed prosperity" How is it that
the protection law that brought pros
perity back to the country could not
prevent prosperity from leaving us
last year? Therefore, why was it that
no one thought last fall of looking to
