Doukh0bors Invade Min
nesOta From Canada.
Watched Day and Night TO
Prevent Them Going Naked.
Authorities Ask Russia to Trans sport
Them Back to Their Homes.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 2O.-The band Of
Doukhobors, that recently arrived at
Fort William on the northern coast of
Lake Superior from western Canada,
have to be watched night and day to
prevent their appearance in public IN
q nude condition and the local authori-
ties are at loss as to what course
they shall pursue in regard to the
Zealots.
A traveller in Duluth from Fort Will
liam yesterday said that the authorities
there are trying to arrange with the
Russian government to bear the ex-
pense OF transporting the Doukhobors
back to Russia, but thus far their eff
forts have been unsuccessful
The Russian authorities asked for
the names of the rcligionists, but the
members Of the sect refused to divulge
them.
The Doukhobors are without money
and the people of Fort William have
cared for them. Recently, however, the
town was scandaliZed by the appear
aHce Of all the Doukhobors in the
street in nude condition. They were
hurried back to their quarters and
compelled to don their clothes.

with the court"
Justice Bowling said he had consult
ed all the authorities cited by the dis
trict attorney and could find no war
rant under the constitution for exclud-
ing the public from a capital case.

tails of revolving testimony, he added,

thrown around defendant by granting
him "a speedy and public hearing"

Mr.. Littleton then asked Mrs. Thaw
to tell the story Of her experience with
Stanford White as she told 1t to Thaw
in Paris in 1903 when he asked her to
become his wife.
Mr.. Jerome was at once on his step
with a strenuous objection. He argued
the matter at some length.
Here is recital of years before
the homicide" declared the prosecutor.
"And I contend that it does not come
within the time limits of any precedent
that / know of. 1t certainly does not
come within the Wood case where tho
man to whom the story was told was
so mentally affected that he Immediate
ly went off and killed a man. This
recital by this witness is too remote.
1t Is absurd on the face Of il to say
that this conversation three years be-
fore accounted for the insanity Of the
defendant at the time of the killing.
Certaily, under the widest expansion
of the Wood case, we ought to have

Justice Bowling interrupted the dis
trict attorney to say that he found
nothing in the authorities fixing a
time limit to conversations or state
ments inducing or tending to induce
insanity. He thought the Wood case
covered the point and overrued the
objection.

cited the interest Of the entire House.

to certain classes Of immigrants, but
other members made earnest pleas for
them, upon the ground that the pros
perity Of the country had been ad-
vanced by their presence in this coun
try.
Mr. Hepburn made an impassioned
plea for more stringent restrictions
against immigrants. The difficulties Of
the problem were increased by lack Of
such restrictions, he said. and the gov
eminent was placing itself in more
peril
The presiding officer, Mr.. Boutell. OF
Illinois, found 1t necessary to call TO
order Mr.. O'Connell Of Massachusetts,,
for charging that Mr.. Hepburn had
been untruthful and unfair in his re-
marks.
Mr.. O'Connell commended that every
faculty should be afforded to bring to
the United States those whom Europe
may be able to spare.
The debate was notable In that It
was ged in largely by members
serving their first term, who found In
the bill chance to make their maiden
efforts at speechmaking on the floor
of the house. The entire session was
devoted to a consideration Of the bill
which was passed.

CAPITAL CHAT.
Congress Flooded by
. Many Petitions.
People Heard From on All
Kinds Of Subjects.
Many Columns In the Record De.
voted to Them Daily.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 20.-(Spe-
ciaD.-Both branches of Congress are
bullying this winter with petitions. 1t
may be a do-nothing Congress, but
not in the branch of acquainting sena-
tors and members with things that a
great many people want or that the
friends of great many people want.
Every year and at every session there
are new lines Of this popular activity
Hundreds of thousands of dollars Of
good money are spent, sending the pc
titions along to ones senator or repre-
sentative. The letters that so swell the
receipts of the postofflce department
come from Maine. Texas, California,
every state in the Union and nowadays
also from Alaska. Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines.
They form quite a department in the
daily publication of Congress-the Con-
gressiontl Record. No issue appears
without them, any more than a we'll
established newspaper would come out
without the local intelligence or some
thing about the activities of the sport
ing world. The editors of the Congress
sional Record simply shovel the items
all under q little heading of "Peti-
lions. etc" There are usually a page
or two and sometimes much more in
the House of Representatives alone.
Each petition is preceded with: by
the Speaker" by Mr.. Alexander" "By
Mr.. Bur]eigh," or by some other of the
39i members of the National House,
for there is not q member but what
