German Captain Says Other Nations

NEW YORK. Jan. 27-That the ma
tives of India are preparing to shake off
the British yoke is the opinion of Cap
tain William Rohde of the German
steamer Neidenfels, just in from the
orient.
The captain says that throughout
the east the natives are getting over
the idea that the white man is their
logical master and are preparing to de-
clare themselves. The 300,000000 ma
tives of India, he believes, are prepar-
ing to strike a blow for freedom, and
he expects it to come soon.
The success of Japan in the war
with Russia he believes to have much
to do with the changed conditions in
the far east. He says: I'm the Pun

natives to open revolt The white man
throughout the east is no longer looked
upon as the natural lord and master

RAILROADS PETITION
ROOSEVELT FOR AID
Operating Vice Presidents Of Many
Lines Call on President to Pre-
vent Enforcement of
New Law
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The oper-
ating vice presidents of many OF the
large railroads of the country were re-
ceived by President Roosevelt today
and presented a request that in execut-
ing what is known as the commodity
am sndment of the railroad rate law
bill one case be brought against the
railroad by the government, this case
to be finally disposed of by the supreme
court Of the United States. This, if
agreed to by the government, would
mean that the railroads owning coal
producing properties would mot sell
them by May 1 next, as required by
the law, but could operate them as
heretofore until the disposal of the test
cases.
The law in question is regarded by
the roads as unconstitutional In that
1t requires the disposal of property at
what would be necessarily a sacrifice.
The law is also questioned on other
grounds.
The president referred the railroad
men to the interstate commerce COM
mission, where it is understood the
question will be fully discussed and a
report made to the president as to the
legal possibility Of carrying out the
suggestion made.

PENNSYLVANIA BEGINS FIGHT TO SEND CAPITOL GRAFTERS TO PRISON
TAFT CHARGED WITH
KNOWING OF SLAVERY
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Debate Comes Up in the Senate and
Secretary of War is Accused
of Being Cognizant of
Traffic
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Greatly to
the surprise of everyone the subject
of slavery was in reduced in the senate
today. Secretar Taft was directly
charged with h ling knowledge OF
slavery in the isl nds. The debate was
made pertinent ! the sections of the
bill revising the criminal code of the
United States which provides penalties
for dealing in slaves.
Mr.. Hale asserted that such pro-
visions should be stricken out, as he
regarded slavery as obsolete in the
United States and he could see no
reason for referring to it.
Senator Hepburn, in charge of the
bill, declared that not only is there
immoral traffic in white slaves but
that coolie labor in the form of prac-
teal slavery does exist, and added that
actual human slavery is still main
tanned in the Philippines.
Mr. Lodge made a statement to dis
prove the charges of slavery in the
Philippines.

ANOTHER LABORLAW
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Decides That Measure
Prohibiting Railroads from Dis
eliminating Against Union
Members Is invalid
Ry Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The con-
stitutionality of the act of congress of
June 1, 1898, prohibiting railroad COM
panies engaged in interstate commerce
from discriminating against members
of labor organizations in the matter of
employment was called into question
by the case of William Adair VS.. the
United States, which was decided by
the supreme court of the United States
today favorably to Adair.
The opinion was by Justice Harlan
and held the law to be repugnant to
the constitution.
mechanic of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad company had right to dis
charge an employe who was a member
of a labor organization just as it was
the employees right to quit such en-
ployment because of his membership
in an organization.
Such a course the decision adds
might be unwise, but regarded as a,
mere matter of right there could be no
doubt. Congress could not under the
constitution authorize violation of
contracts under the guise of protecting
Interstate commerce.
Justice Holmes also expressed the
opinion that the law should be con-
strued as constitutional. He thought
that the right te' make contracts had
been stretched 10 the limit by the
courts decision in this case That con-
gress had a right to so legislate so as
to encourage labor organizations was
another suggestion of Justice Holmes.

FRANCE STIRRED BY
MOROCCAN DEBATE
Chamber of Deputies VIII Support
Government, Which Is Steering
a Course Between Two
Extremes

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Jan. 27.-None of a series of
sensational surprises anticipated in
connection with the Moroccan debate
in the chamber of deputies occurred
today.
NJ. Pichon, minister of foreign af-
fairs, speaking for the government,
showed plainly that the cabinet, with
out ignoring, prefers not to discuss the
Deicasse incident, which aroused such
storm of vituperation beyond the
Rhine and such high praise across the
channel. He went no further than to
register an energetic protest against
the idea that the restoration of Frances
prestige was due to the former min
lister.
NJ. Pichon's strongest words in con-
nection with Morocco, which were re-
ceived with cheers on all sides, were:
France, on account of Algeria, could
never permit the internationalization
of Morocco"
The reception of M. Pichon's speech
makes it manifest that the chamber
will support the government against
both extremes-M. Jaures, who wants
to abandon, and NJ. Delcasse, who
wants to conquer Morocco.

TIRED OF WAITING
KENTUCKIAN'S PAINT LEADS
TO NEW AUTO REGULATION.

A police regulation has been adopted by
the Commissioners which provides for the
immediate refund of the fare paid by q
patron Of a sightseeing automobile. IL the
money is demanded by the passenger
whenever the automobile fails to leave
its designation or station within ten min
utes after time announced for its start
ing.
This regulation was decided upon by
the Commissioners as a result Of q COM
plant made by A. w. Campbell Of Ken
lucky. who was in Washington several
weeks ago with some friends, and who
got tired Of waiting for an automobile to
start after boarding it and was refused
a repayment of his money when he de-

Mr.. Campbell wrote the Commissioners
that he and his friends boarded the sight
seeing automobile in front of the St
James Hotel. 1t was scheduled to leave
at $50 a m, and after waiting three-Quar-
tiers Of an hour for the machine to start
Mr.. Campbell and his friends were direct
ed to get into another car standing near
and in which all the desirable seats were
taken. Mr.. Campbell contends that when
he demanded his money the manager re-
fused, saying the matter would have to
be referred to the New York ONCE.

Caricaturing Dignitaries.


The caricaturing Of high officials, even
the head Of the state, of which complaint,
sometimes we'll founded and sometimes III
founded, has often been made in this
country. and for the regulation of which
legislation has been sought, is evidently
one of those matters which they do not
order better in France. On the contrary.
the grievance seems to be particularly
serious there and to involve features
which are really Omnous.
Mr.. Gervais, prominent member Of the

he and his colleagues are caricatured, but
that the president of the republic is gross

BULL SNAKE ON BRYAN LAWN
IT CHASES A DEMOCRAT, BUT Is
SCARED FROM PREY.
Newspaper Woman's Parasol Drives
Away Big Intruder at
Lincoln.

LINCOLN, Eeb., August ls-A big bull
snake, seven feet long, added to the in
terest of life at Fafrview Sunday and
yesterday by wriggling through the
grounds in front of Bryan's house and
trying to collect chickens.
Sunday he branched forth and made
things interesting for small boy in the
neighborhood. who made over mile i'm
lao. and broke Tetrazzinrs record for
high notes
over his successes and started to chase
visiting democrats off the lawn. His
chosen victim was Peleg Bagg of WalIa
Walla. Wash, who was, just departing
from Fairview. after assuring Bryan that
the Pacific slope was going democratic.
AS Bagg descended the sloping walk
from the house the snake wriggled out
of the alfalfa fields. The highest places
around there are two hills. and they were
all that Bagg hit. He did not wait for
the westbound train. but started out for
Walla Walla on foot. going something less
than 100 miles an hour.
A newspaper woman. who had been
waiting i'm the tent to interview Bagg
saw him vanish She started after the
snake with a parasol.
Completely daunted. the snake turned
eastward, with the newspaper woman
and her weapon after him. and hit about
as few places as Bagg did. AT last ac-
counts the snake was headed for Bangor,
Me-, and the democrat for Walla Walla.
Wash, and both are going yet.
