| ROOT AND ROSEN SETTLE
MANCHUR|AN CONTROVERSY
There Will be No More Friction Be-
tween the American Consul and
Russian Government at Hardin.

Washington. Secretary Root had a
long conference at the state depart
ment on Monday with the Russian
ambassador. Baton Rosen, the feature
OF which was the Manchurian situa-
ton. and In consequence when the
ambassador left for New York on his
way to Russia he bore with him the
last words Of the American state de-
partment on that important subject.
The interview was eminently satisfac-
tory on both sides.
From the Russian standpoint II was
made plain to Secretary Root that the
local Russian officials In Hardin were
deserving Of support In their Efforts
to rehabilitate that important trade
center and resume the execution OF
the ambitious plans that had been
formed by the Russian government
Tor the development OF the city be-
fore the war with Japan.
Therefore the objection Of Ameri-
can Consul Fisher 10 full recognition
of the Russian authority at Hardin
was found to be based rather upon
the form In which the local Russian
officials proposed TO attain their OBJ
Jects and not to the objects them
selves. Therefore IL may be stated
that there will be no further friction
between the American consul and
the Russian government at HarblD
over this incident.

LIABILITY OF COMMON CARRIERS
Railroads Made Responsible for
Death or Injury Of Employe.

Washington.-The bi,. relating to
the liability of common carriers by
railroad, passed in the house of rep

the senate on Thursday without
amendment and without a division.
AS passed, the bill is expected to
meet the objections of the United

to be unconstitutional by the court.
TIE bill abolishes the strict common
law liability which bars a recovery
for personal injury or death of an EN-.

OF a fellow servant. 1t also relaxes
the common law rule which makes
contributory negligence defense to
claims for such injuries, and permits
an employee to recover for an injury
caused by the negligence of a co-em.

ANARCHISTS TO
Be SUPPRESSED
Special Message ON Subject by the
President, With Legal Opinion
of the Attorney Genera.
Chief Executive Declares the Anarcf.
ist 10 the Enemy Of All Mankind,
and His 10 Deeper Degree IT
CririnaIi.J Than Any
Other.

Washington.-In a special message
submitted to congress on Thursday
President Roosevelt called the atten
ton of that body to the necessity fol
further legislation on the subject OF
anarchy. With the message he trans
mitted report reviewing the legal
phases of the question by Attorney
General Bonaparte. The message OF
the president is as follows:
Il herewith submit letter from
the department of justice, which ex.
plains itself. Under this opinion
hold that existing statutes give the
president the power to prohibit the
postmaster general from being used
as an instrument in the commission
of crime; that is, to prohibit the use
of the mails for the advocacy of muir
der, arson and treason: and l shall
act upon such construction. Unques-
tionably, however, there should be
further legislation by congress in this
matter. When compared with the
suppression of anarchy, every other
question sinks into insignificance.
The anarchist is the enemy of hui
mainly, the enemy of all mankind,
and his is deeper degree of crimi-
nality than any other. No immigrant
is allowed to come to our shores ii he
is an anarchist, and no paper pub
llshed here or abroad should be per.
mitted circulation in this country if
1t propagates anarchistic opinions.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Besides his direction to the post
master general to exclude from the
mails such publications as La Ques-
tione Sociale, President Roosevelt in
his letter to Attorney General Bona
parte, asking for an opinion on the
legal phases of the subject, says he
has had the particular case called to
the attention of the governor of New
Jersey by Secretary Root that the
governor may proceed under the state
laws. The opinion of the attorney
general, which the president trans.
mits to congress, embraces discus,
sion OF the whole subject from many
legal angles. His first conclusion is
that the article in question, which
advocates the use of arms and dyna.
mite in annihilating police and sol.
diers that anarchy may prevail, con.
stitutes a "seditious libel" and is
undoubtedly a crime at common
law"
The greater portion of his opinion
is devoted to the question of whether,
in the absence of any legislation by
congress the postmaster general has
the right to exclude such publications.
On this point his conclusion is:
The postmaster general will be
justified in excluding from the mails
any issue of any periodical otherwise
entitled to the privileges of second.
class mail matter, which shall con-
tain any article constituting a sedi.
uous libel and counseling such
crimes as murder, arson, riot, and
treason"
