Dangers to the Republic.

Governor johnson declared that the pro-
gram of the republic is opposed by two
dangers. One is a tendency OF the fed
eral government TO a Capitalization of
power and the assumption of sovereign
powers not delegated To il by the con-
stituuOn and belonging TO the state and
to the people. The other is the power
of centralized and predatory wealth. fOs-
tered by special privileges and defiant Of
both the public welfare and the law of
the land.
THE inherent powers of this republic "
he said, should not ne delegated TO the
federal government, but should reside in
the state and the people. They are the
original sources Of sovereignty and Yet
the present administration maintains the
doctrine of inherent sovereignty in the
government. Today the government of
the United States denies the existence OF
the constitution and its immunity to our
Islands

WILL REMAIN
WIFE OF THAW
Evelyn NeSbit WithdraWS Suit
for Annulment of Her
Marriage.

New York. May 26-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw through her counsel today with
drew the suit which she instituted some
time ago for the annument of her mar
riage to H. X. Thaw. The motion for
withdrawal was sanctioned by Referee
Deyo. who had been appointed by the
court to take testimony in the proceed
ing. and the case was declared diseon-
tinued without costs to either party TO
the suit. Immediately following the dis
missal of the action, Daniel OReilly.
personal counsel for Mrs. ThaW, issued
a statement in which he declared that
Mrs Thaw had been an unwilling party
10 the proceedings from the first. Ii
was only because OF pressure on the part
of her husbands relatives that she had
any part in such proceeding, said Mr..
O'Reilly, and that she withdrew the ac-
ton because she believes her husband
present position demands her loyalty
Would Serve No Good Purpose.
There has been much misrepresenta-
ton as TO Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in
first bringing an application for annul-
ment and then subsequently discontinue
ing the same said the statement. Mrs.
ThaW reluctantly made such an applica-
ton in response TO pressure brought by
relatives of her husband; she withdraws
from the action at this time because she
believes her husbands present situation
demands from her a loyalty 10 his inter
est and that il would not serve any good
purpose TO prove az time when he is at
tempting to gain his liberty that he was
insane when he married her. Especially
is this true in the light of the unfor-
tunate conclusion of the last proceed
ings."
Name Not Given.
Mr., O'Reilly declined to give the name
of the relative who had brought per
suasion to bear on her to institute the
proceedings for the annulment of the mar
riage.
Mr.. O'Reilly was quoted today as say
ing there had been no reconciliation be-
tween Harry X. Thaw and his wife and
that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw wanted none He
added that Mrs Evelyn Thaw thought
she had a right to some financial recon-
pense for the sacrifice she had made in
ThaW's behalf. Mr.. O'Reilly said that
some step of that kind might be taken.
but he would not Indicate what form the
movement would take.

Every Democrat in the house. he said,

was more imperative that the order pass

have been wasted" If that time could
have been used in intelligent debate, he
said. there would have been no necessity
for the order. The gentleman talks about

AUTOPSY PLACES His
OWN LIFE IN DANGER
Death of New York Man Through
Bulldogs Bite May Prove Only
First in List of Many
Tragedies
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 21.-Dr. Ira Van
Giesen, expert on hydrophobia of the
New York board of health, was inocu-
lated with hydrophobia today while
making an autopsy on the body OF
William Fl. Marsh, the Brooklyn manu-
facturer who died of that disease yes
terday. DR. Van Giesen scratched his
arm with one of the bones. He said
he had been inoculated before and ex-
pressed only annoyance at the acct
dent. He went to the laboratory OF
the board of health for treatment and
will go to the Pasteur institute later.
The autopsy showed that Marsh died
of hydrephobia. There was no sign OF
poisoning by drugs.
The extraordinary circumstances
attending the death of Marsh, who died
-aftCr having been bitten by his bull
dog, and particularly the warning
which he received from physicians that
he was suffering from hydrophobia and
could live only a few days, resulted in
an inquiry by Coroner Brewer, who
went to the Marsh home this afternoon
accompanied by DR.. Van Giesen.
Miss Edna Thompson, a stenographer
for Marsh, was also bitten by the dog
which is supposed to have caused
Marshs death. Miss Thompson was
treated at the Pasteur institute Tues
day, but she did not tell the doctors
that she had been bitten. Today, how
ever she admitted it.
81 was about to pet the dog one day."
said Miss Thompson, when it jumped
at my face and bit me in the cheek. l

SPITE FENCE ADDS ZEST TO
NEIGHB0RH0OD ROW
Residents on 6eaudry Avenue Declare
He Is Mean and Stingy, Just Sort
of Man That Would XIII
Poor Chicken

Although Carl Unger has been ac-
quilted of saying bad words and shoot
ing ROSTERS, he is not indicated in the
eyes of his neighbors. Everybody who
lives in the negihborhood of Beaudry
and Temple streets looks upon him as a
moral leper; fathers point him out to
their sons as a man to be Stunned;
mothers hide their babies at his ap-
proach.
A little girl threw mud at him and
called him a KILLER"
"A killer?" he asked. as he meekly
brushed the mire from his clothes.
Yes; a chicken killer" replied the
dauntless maid.
Last March Unger and his sister were
annoyed by the racket made by a lot
of chickens kept by Mrs. Mary Thomas,
who lives at 41S North Beaudry avenue.
All efforts to induce Mrs. Thomas to
muzzle her chickens proved futile.
Every morning after breakfast the
Thomases and the fingers would have
it out over the back fence about the
chickens.
Finally Mrs. Thomas swore out a
complaint against the fingers. She ac-
cused Unger of shooting a rooster and
using language that would drill holes
through boiler plate. A jury in Justice
Frederckson's court acquitted the
fingers.
But that doesn't let Carl Unger on.
He goes home at night, so the neigh
bors say, and finds the hens laying for
him. The mark of Cain is on his fore
head and the boys shoot putty balls at
him.
Now the Thomases have built spite
fence fifteen feet high. q sort of quaran-
tine against the bacilli of crime and
profanity that is supposed to float in
cloud over the place.
The women go to their lodge meet
ings and instead of transacting bust
ness they try to see who can most
aptly describe the depths of inquiry he
is capable of. They call him stingy.
They say he would rob blind beggar,
steal candy from a child and kick a
sick dog. In fact, just the sort of a
man that would kill poor, defense
less chicken.
''But the ROSTERS still crow" Unger
declares.

AGREE ON APPROPRIATION
BILL FOR P0ST0FFlCE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-Complete
agreement was reached today by the
conferees on the postoffice appropria-
ton bill, and the report was adopted IN
the senate. The most important dis
putes were settled, as follows:
An appropriation of 1921 300 was au-
thorized for the promotion OF postoffice
clerks from the fifth to the sixth grade.
The provision made for leaves of abb
sence of thirty days annually to en-
ployes of first and second class post
offices and other offices having city
delivery service was dropped, but the
house provision eliminating Sundays
and holidays from the calculations on
| the fifteen days authorized by exist
| ing law was retained.
The appropriation of 100000 for pay
ment of substitute letter carriers who
holl themselves In readiness for calls,
| but who are not actually employed,
was stricken out.
| The provision for the payment of ex-
penses, not to exceed 81 a day, to every
mail clerk while away from the termi-
| nails where they reside, was eliminated
for the fact that 1t would cost the gov
eminent $1.000.000 a year.
The conferees said they believed
this amendment to be just, but the
postal deficit was now too great to per-
NIT action at this time.
The ocean mail subsidy provision was
retained, and to carry 1T into force
the appropriation for the transporta-
| ton of foreign mails was Increased
from $2,00S, 062 to $4,60S, 1862.
The amendment to prohibit the pub
LEGATION of incendiary or inflammatory
articles was further amended by the
conference so that the new provision
of law will be as follows:
"And the term indecent within the
intendment of this section shall include
! matter of character tending to incite
arson, murder or assassination"

BISHOPRIC WAR
WARMLY WAGED
FIVE BALLOTS CAST BY BAL
TIMORE METH0DlSTS
Mo Choice Is Rumor at Late Hour
Last Nieht-Rev. Edwin h.
Hughes Lacks Only
Twenty Votes
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 21.-The battle
for the bishoprics was holly Waged To-
day. and before the adjournment OF the
Methodist Episcopal general CONFER,
ence the fifth ballots had been cast and
was in the hands of the tellers, who
were instructed to report at the open
ing of the conference tomorrow.
Late tonight it was learned from
thoroughly we'll informed source that
the ballot resulted in no choice, but that
it shows Rev. Edwin H. Hughes lack
ing only about score of votes of cleo
ton.
He is followed by Rev. c. w. Smith
and W. S. Lewis in the order named.
1t also shows Rev. j. 3. Hingley, sec
rotary of the conference, has gained
about fifty votes.
The election of Rev. Edwin Fl.
Hughes on an early ballot is looked tyr
confidently. The ballots thus far snow
marked gains for Rev. Charles l..
GoodelI. pastor of Calvary church, New
York, whose votes have increased from
1874 on the first ballot to 1872 on the
fourth.
Significance attaches to a recommen-
dation which the book commission de-
cided to make to the conference. 1t
is that hereafter the book concern OF the
church employ union men at union
wages, and favor union labor when
ever opportunity offers.
During the past four years the TWO
great publishing houses of the general
conference have had good deal OF
trouble with labor unions, especially
with the Typographical union. The
resolution is the outgrowth of this and
the desire of the Methodist Episcopal
church to get into closer touch with
la boring men and women.
The temperance committee has been
asked to define the duty of Methodist
lawyer who may be assigned by court
to defend a liquor dealer.

PUBLIC BUILDING
BILL BOTHERSOME
Asks Secretary corteIyou to Prepare
Report to Enable Him to Deter-
mine if He Should Sign
or Veto 1t

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 21.-President
Roosevelt already has taken notice"
of the So, 000,000 public buildings DILL
although that measure is sull IN con-
ference between the two houses of con-
gress.
He asked Secretary Cortelyou today
to prepare a report on the measure to
guide him in determining whether to
sign or veto it.
Mr.. Cortelyou is asked to include in
his report first, the condition of the
public funds justifying SO large an eX-
penditure for public buildings at this
time second the amount OF future ex-
penditures which will be made neces-
sary to complete the new projects au-
thorized, and, third, an opinion based
on the expert judgment of the super
vising architect of the treasury as to
the necessity of the projects provided
for.
That there is connection between the
presidents desire to be fully informed
as to the public buildings bill and the
anti-injunction bill and also his desire
to have a bill passed appropriating
sums for ocean mail steamers, is de-
clared to be most obvious.
1t is conceded that no measure
passed at this session is more tooth
some to members of both houses than
the public buildings bill. The prospect
of having this bill vetoed would cause
emphatic concern and alarm.
Meanwhile the president is continu-
ing his personal work with members
to induce action on the anti-injunction
proposition and to persuade house
members that the senate subsidy pro-
vision contained in the postoffice APP
preparation bill should be accepted. The
report, which Secretary Cortelyou will
lose no time in preparing, will I'M
doubtedly be convincing along its de-
signed lines.
