PANIC CAUSED BY PARENTS

Newark, N. j., Apr. "a ru-
NOR that big public school in
the Italian section mad been
blown up by Black Hand black
mailers as an act OF revenge for
failure to pay tribute, resulted in
a panic yesterday in which tw,
children were injured. 1t became
necessary to call out the scnoo!
for the day. The school was in
session when a great throng ot
excited women, shouting and geS-
ticulating, gathered in front of
the closed gates. They demande |
that their children be sent from
the building and threatened 10
break in if it was not done. The
principal telephoned for police
assistance, but before help arrlv-
ed the women had broken down
the gates and forced their way
into the building.
They made their way upstairs,
screaming and calling for their
children by name and so excited
the pupils that they got entirely
out of the control of the teachers
and ran from the class rooms into
the halls. In the wild scramble
of mothers and children down the
stairs many of the little ones
were thrown down and trampled
on, and two were seriously injur-
ed. When the police arrived or

BENEFIT FOR VoN DER AHE

st. Louis, Apr. 9.-This was
"Von Der Abe day" at Sports
mans park. The baseball fans of
st. Louis turned in full force for
the game between the Browns
and the Cardinals, the entire pro-
ceeds of which are to be given to
Chris Won Der Abe, the old-time
baseball magnate.
Won Der Abe, popularity known
as "Der Boss President" was the
founder and owner of the origi-
nal st. Louis Browns. who won
four successive American associ-
alton pennants and one world S
championship. He was for years
one of the most notable and pic
turesque personages identified
with professional baseball. He
disposed of his interest in the st.
Louis club some years ago. His
subsequent business ventures
proved Improbable and recently
he has been overtaken by adver-

Kentucky, who asked it that
Thurman's brother might have
an opportunity to collect further
evidence.
Thurman n's crime was the mur-
der here in February, 1906, of
Walter P. Dolsen of Michigan.
Both the murderer and his vic
tim had been in the United States
marine corps and were discharg-
ed from the service but a short
time before the crime. The two
became friends and occupied the
same room ina lodging house in
East Main street. where the mur-
der was committed. Thurman
was practically penniless, while
Dolsen had several hundred dol
lars which he had saved from his
pay and which he intended to
take home with him to Michigan.
While Dolsen slept one night
Thurman chopped the defenseless
man to pieces with an axe, rob
bed him, packed the body in a
trunk and made it ready for
shipment Though the crime was
discovered almost Immediately.

ANNIVERSARY OF
LEES SURRENDER

Washington, Apr 9.-Forty-
three years ago today, which in
1865 fell on a Saturday, General
U. S. Grant received the surren-
der of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia from General Robert f. Lee
at Appomattox Court House, Va.
This surrender marked the end
of the Civil war and the fall Of
the Confederacv. The South was
exhausted, and Lee, his forces re-
duced by fighting, hunger and
disease. and surrounded by over
whelming numbers, had no alter
native but to yield. This he did
in way to win the respect of his
opponents and the admiration Of
the world. He was consistent as
a soldier to the last. and though
given an opportunity by Grant to
conduct negotiations for surren-
der through his officers, he did
not put the unpleasant duty on
others. but faced his conqueror
himself.
The scenes of the surrender
have been often described, with
varying degrees of accuracy. The

MYSTERY FINALLY SOLVED

Trinidad, Apr. 9.-While Pat
rick Barrett, stone mason, was
being taken to the insane asylum
at Pueblo yesterday he confessed
to the sheriff that eighteen years
ago he had dynamited building
in Pueblo. because when the
building was completed the own
er refused to pay him for his
work.
Investigation at Pueblo disclos-
ed the fact that such an event
occurred and that until now the
reason for the destruction and
who the perpetrators were had
remained a mystery.
From present indications the
four men who will be chosen as
delegates-at-large are Senators
Lodge and Crane, Ex-Governor
John Il. Bates and Sidney c..

Investigation Will be Held for
Purpose of Determining
Restrictions Necessary
MAY LIMIT GRAZING

Washington, Apr. 9.-ln order
to reach satisfactory agreement
in regard to the proposed prohib-
ition of grazing on the banks of
streams supplying the various ir-
rigation systems in the West, u
joint investigation will be con-
Quoted by the departments of the
interior and agriculture. The ir-
rigators and officials of the recla-
nation service desre to restrict
grazing on the watersheds which
affect the irrigation of farm lands
while the stock men have vigcr-
ously opposed such restriction.
In discussing the matter, Sec
retary Wilson said:
"The protection of the water
sheds and streams supplying ir-
rigation reservoirs depends pri-
marily upon the possibility Of
giving full protection to all areas
where grazing is allowed. The
fewer forest officials there are to
attend to the grazing business on
the national forests the more land
will have to be closed to grazing.
Past experience has proven that
stock can be allowed to Craze,
under proper regulations, on
areas from which it would be nec-
essary to exclude it if the range
could not be properly patrol
led"
The investigation will be con.
Quoted jointly by officers of the
reclamation service, and the for
estry service, who will meet the
stockmen and irrigators on the
ground this summer and deter
mine what restrictions, if any,
will serve the best interests of
the majority. Complaints are
directed mainly against sheep
grazing, but as the allotmens for
grazing have already been made
grazing, but as the allotments for
est service, no change in allot-
ments will be made until next
year.

SANTA FE ADMITS
GIVING REBATES

company last summer on ship
ments of oil in 1906 was admitted
today by Edward Chambers, as
sistant freight traffic manager of
the road, in the hearing before
the state railroad commission.
This is the refund referred to
in a message of President Roose-
welt to congress last January in
which the president quoted a por-
ton of Mr.. Chambers letter au-
thorizing the refund.
On June 10, 1907, refund of
$30,750.75 was made to the Asso-
ciated Oil company in addition t.
81 ,239 that had been previously
paid back to the company. This
was on all shipments from the
Bakersfield oil district to San
Francisco bay points between
January l and November 15,
1906.
During that time the Associat-
ed Oil company had a rate of %
cents barrel on fuel oil from
Bakersfield to San Francisco.
when the published rate was 81 s
cents. General Manager Porter
of the Associated Oil company
desired the rate kept secret, but
this president Ripley refused to
allow, according to Mr.. Chambers
and ii was finally abolished.

0kIahoma's Regulation Has
Restored Confidence and
Deposits are Growing
fasteners CYNICAL

Guthrie, Okla, Apr. 9.-When
the Solons of the Oklahoma legis-
lature passed law requiring the
state banks to subscribe to fund
for the protection Of depositors
against loss through bank fail
ures, the wise men of the East
indulged in some very hippaul
and cynical criticisms of the
scheme and declared that it
would be a failure.
While the period of less than
two months that has elapsed since
the law became effective may not
have been sufficient to provide a
fair test. there is every probabii-
ity that the new law has come
to stay and that other states will
be forced to protect their banks.
Whatever may be said against
the law, it has served to restore
public. confidence in the banks
and to bring out much money
from hiding. The national banks
have generally stood aloof from
the law. and have suffered some
what from the competition of the
state-guaranteed banks. While
there has been no remarkable
rush of money from other states,
hundreds of people have taken
\ advantage of protection afforded
by Oklahoma banks to send their
savings here. At first. these i'm
portations of money We're mainly
small sums, but now many large
corporations in. other states are
looking up the advantages Offer
ed by the banks of the new stat"
and are making propositnos to
deposit large sums. Most of the
bankers are fighting shy of too
large deposits. fearing that the
returns would not be adequate
after paying the per cent pro
lection assessment to the state.
The banks across the staia
boundaries in Kansas, Texas ana
Arkansas are beginning to feel
the effects of the Oklahoma com
petition through a shrinkage Of
deposits. The drain has not sci
in heavily as yet. but with in
creasing public confidence in the
practicability and desirability Of
the new act. there is no doubt
that these states will in the
course of few years be forced
to adopt similar measure. a.

turn. act upon others, Oklahoma
