BACK OF THE ORDER
President Himself Responsible
for Suppression of Anarch-
istic Paper.
LETTER IS MADE PUBLIC
Declared Sheet Was Murderous and
Same Rule Would Apply as in
Case Of Poison.

Paterson, N. j., March 24.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt states in answer to an
appeal from Mayor Mcbride to ex-
clude La QUESTION: Sociale," an an
archist paper, from the mails for the
purpose of suppressing the publica-
tion, that besides directing that the
newspaper be denied the use of the
mails he has requested the depart
ment of justice to make every effort
to prosecute criminally those respon-
sible for the publication. A copy OF
the presidents letter to the depart
ment of justice was enclosed by Sec
retary Loeb as the reply to the ap-
peal Of Mayor Mcbride, who made
public the presidents letter last night.
La Questione Sociale" recently pub
lished an appeal of infiammatory char
acter which resulted in the action
taken.
Denounced as Murderous.
In his letter the president denounces
The paper as IAN anarchistic and muir
derous publication" and tells the de-
partment of justice that "the news
paper article in question advocates
murder by dynamite. 1t specifically
advocates the murder of enlisted men
in the United States army and officers
of the police force, and the burning
OF houses of private citizens. The i'm
migration law now prohibits entry
into the United States of any person
who entertains or advocates the views
expressed in this newspaper article.
1t is, of course, inexcusable to per-
init those already here to promulgate
such views.
Like Poison<in Mails.
Those who write, publish and cir
culate those articles stand on a level
with those who use the mails for dis
tributing poison for the purpose OF
murder, and convictions have been OBJ
tanned when the mails thus have been
used for the distribution of poisons
and no law should require the post
master general to become an acces
sorry to a murder by circulating liter
ature of this kind

interest aroused in the hearts of a
childless old couple by 12-year-old

Home and Aid society has been en-

adopted daughter, they were led to

ILLINOIS BANKS AFFECTED
Have No Authority to Turn Collateral
Over to Depositors.

Springfield, H., March 24.-Accord.
ing to a recent ruling of State Auditor
Mccullough. Illinois state banks have
I'd authority to secure deposits with
them by collateral turned over to de-
positors. This was the opinion to
prominent fraternal organizations do
ing business in Illinois. State Auditor
Mccullough held that, should the
transaction be considered a deposit,
Tie point might be raised that the
capital of the bank has been impaired,
as the collateral turned over by the
bank would carry with it margin,
however small, taken from the banks
capital. Otherwise the transaction
would be unjust to other individual
depositors whose deposits are not Sc
cured by collateral.

four northern clubs NJ. H. Sexton of
Rock Island the Three-Eye league
magnates in their adjourned session
at the Sherman house stand dead
locked this afternoon. Holland re-
signed at the beginning of the ses-
sion. Neither side seems disposed to
yield and the prospects for baseball
this year are not bright.
Make Many Suggestions.
There is an earnest desire, how
ever, on the part of all the delegates
to continue the organization and every
possible expedient has been suggested
since reconvening this afternoon. Kin
sella of Springfield proposed the
names of George McGurn,' president
of the City league of Chicago; Robert
L. Welch, president of the Spalding
team of Chicago, and Tip ONeill of
the Western league, but there was de-
termined opposition to the election of
an outsider.
Moves for Commission.
Rosenfield of Rock Island proposed
that commission Of three men to
be chosen one by each end of the cir
cult and the third by the two men
thus selected, be given the powers
that ordinarily are invested in the
president. This plan likewise had
few champions -
Still another proposition, and the
one last suggested, was that the
names of the two candidates be placed
in hat and the one first drawn out
be unanimously elected.
Hill of Cedar Rapids declares he
will pull out If the commission plan
carries or If an outsider is chosen.

tied for business, Mr.. Holland showed
his nervousness and impatience by
