THIEVES CAUGHT.
Three Quickly Rounded Up for Dia-
 mOnd Robbery.

Hartford. May 1.--Three alleged diamond thieves were taken into custody by the police yesterday soon after Mrs Frederick s. Belden of No 492 Pennington avenue reported that a diamond ring, worth S250, had been stolen from her home. The ring had been missing since Satur- day and suspicion pointed toward a 'colored servant girl, Myrtle Under wood, 17 years old.
 Shortly before Mrs Belden made the complaint the police had re- ceived a communication from the police in New Haven that a negro had sold a large diamond down there for $75, and that the stone was worth much more than that. Detective Sergeant Butler was as- signed to the case, and he soon found that Carroll Anthony. the ne- gro elevator man in an insurance building, who is a friend of the col ored servant girl, answered the de- scription of the negro who had sold the ring. and that Anthony had been in New Haven this week. Anthony and his wife and the servant girl were all arrested, and then the story was told.
 According to the police, the Un- derwood girl said that she was in need of a large amount of money, and did not know where she could get it. She saw Mrs Belden's ring and took it, as her only chance. and gave 1t to Mrs Anthony, telling her 1t was stolen and that she wanted to realize some money on if. Then, according 10 the story. Mrs Anthony gave the ring to her husband, who removed the stone from the setting and took it to New Haven and sold 1t, getting SIS. s60 of which he gave the girl. keeping SIS for himself. The girl and Anthony will be charged with theft and Mrs Anthony will be charged with receiving stolen goods.
 After the confessions were all made the Underwood girl and An- thony were measured by the Bertil- Ion system.

JAPAN IN MOURNING,
Loss of the Cruiser Matsushima
 Shocks Empire.
HALF OF HER CREW LOST.

country's Prominent Families Had Sons Serving on Vessel as Cadets.
 Officers Go Down With Ship-cause
 of Explosion Not Ascertained.
 Tokyo May 1.--All Japan was plung- ed into grief by the explosion on the protected cruiser Matsushima, which tore asunder the gallant warship, caus- | ing her to sink in few minutes. The lamentable accident occurred while the ship was anchored at Makang, har- l Dor in the Pescadores islands. | More than half of the officers and crew went to the bottom with the war ship.
 The list of the killed or drowned in- | cludes many men of note, including, it is feared, sons of Baron Chinda, dep. I uty foreign minister, and of Prince I Oyama, Japan's great field marshal. The young men were cadets on the Matsushima A great majority of the officers on board were lost, including Captains I Yoshimori, Yashiro and Name l From the reports made by Admiral Moshimatsu, commander of the train ing squadron to which the Matsushi- ma belonged, the loss of officers and men is about 240. In all about 175 were saved.
 Only Three Officers Survive.
 The officers who survived are only I three in number The other survivors include 24 cadets, ' noncommissioned officers and Al. of the crew, as nearly as can be gathered from the meager details so far obtainable.
 | The cause of the explosion is not yet 1 known. It occurred in the stern mag azine. The ship sank almost immedi- ately until only her bridge was visi- | ble. Sister ships of the Matsushima, the Hashidate and the Itsukushima, which also belonged to the training squadron, were close at hand and at once put out boats to the rescue. But for the prox- unity of these two ships the loss of life WOulu nave Uctu very luuCu SIedIcI.
 All those saved were taken in by the rescue boats, which worked five hours and only ceased when there was nothing more for them to do. Great Families Bereaved.
 In additional to complement of $50 officers and men there were fifty-eight cadets on board the Matsushima. Many of the greatest families in Japan are bereaved by the catastrophe. | The loss of the Matsushima is keenly ! felt throughout the nation because of the conspicuous part she took in the sea battles in the war with Russia. ! Though only a protected cruiser and now out of date as naval fighting en- zine, she was Admiral Ito's flagship in the battle of tie Yalu river and also took a gallant part in the great battle ! of the sea of Japan. In many fights of lesser importance she was also an active participant.
 With their usual caution and conser- vatism the naval officials are obtaining all the Information possible before giv- ing out any full report of the disaster.

SeIf-Condewned.

Newspaper organs of the interests,
from the Ike Stephenson organ to the
j. Piermont Morgan organs, recognize
ing the inevitability of Mr.. Bryan's
nomination, have been sorrowing that
the Democratic party should persist in
its determination to nominate weak
candidate" If the party should name
a "conservativ," it would be much
stronger, they assure it. And they
have shed oceans of crocodile tears
because the Democracy is intent upon
nominating a man "who can't be
elected"
Ii is quite well understood by the
Democrats of the country that the
plutocratic interests are fearful that
Bryan will be elected. If they were
confident that he could not be elected,
they would welcome his nomination.
The New York Evening Post, more
frank than its Wall street contem-
poraries, says that "those Republican
managers are living in fools para
disc who think that it will be holt
day task to beat him. The forces
which make Mr.. Bryan's candidacy
formidable are not hidden. He has
vast and idolizing personal following.
Its vote can be transferred to no other.
AS campaigner, he has inexhaustible
physical energy, and endless resources
o., agitation. And on what willing
ears his appeals would fall in present
circumstances! Are the Republicans
not aware how he could retort all their
own favorite arguments upon them
with terrific force? The Republican
platform of 1896 could be read as an
indictment of the Republican party of
1908. All the dire consequences of
misgovernment therein set forth are
now swarming home to condemn Re.
publican policies"
1t did not need panic to make Mr..
Bryan q formidable candidate, but
there is no concealing the fact that the
panic has bankrupted the Republican
party and exposed the hollowness of
its pretended ability to keep full the
dinner pail of labor. BY its own argu-
L.ants it is made incompetent and in
efficient. 1t is exposed as an enemy of
labor and foe of productive capital.
II stands arraigned by its indictment of
the Cleveland administration. 1t has
been weighed in the balance aud f
wanting. 1t is condemned out a
own mouth. News.

Mr.. Bryan s Opinions.


The plan of guaranteed bank de-
posts has probably found favor, among
all classes of people and irrespective of
official utilization, more rapidly than
ny other public question.
The new state of Oklahoma has al
: sady enacted law taxing state banks,
he fund thus accumulated to be used
4 paying the depositors of any state
lank that from any cause becomes un-
able to meet its obligations. A special
session of the Kansas legislature has
been called for the purpose of enacting
legislation similar to the Oklahoma
plan. The governor of Nebraska is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of calling
special session of the legislature on
account of the growing belief among
the people that protection to bank
depositors in the form of state or federal
guarantees of their deposits viii stop
the boarding of money, bring into cir
culation sufficient currency to conduct
the business of the country, and prevent
a recurrence of such disastrous panics
as the one through which we are now
passing
Mr. Bryan has heen an advocate of
law guaranteeing deposits in state and
national banks since 1893 The legisla-
ture of Ohio has adopted joint resolu-
ton inviting Mr. Bryan to address its
members in joint session February IS,
1908, on the subject of Guaranteed Bank
Deposits.
Mr.. Bryan, in discussing the tariff
question, insists that residents of the
United States should be permitted to
buy home made goods at home at as
low price rs the foreigner can buy
made goods abroad. He also
insists that our government should be
by and for the people as a whole, rather
than by and for the trusts and admin
istered in the interest of few benefic-
iaries of the trust system. He believes
that national legislation for the purpose
of better regulation and control of in
terstate commerce and common carriers
should supplement state legislation,
and not be substitute for state legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The Commoner,
reflects his opinion each week on ques-
tions of public Importance and in it's
columns Lay also be found his maya
zine articles, public speeches. addresses
and lectures, which are referred to in
the daily press from day to day
If you are interested in political ques-
tons, if you desire to keep in touch
with the progress of the campaign and
to read Mr.. Bryan's speeches send sixty
cents to The Commoner, and the paper
will be sent to you each week until the
close of the next presidential campaign.
Postoffice money order, currency, or
stamps will be accepted Only sixty
