CRlTIClSES THE RAILROADS
Address of President of National Live
Stock Association.

Denver, Jan. 22.-The address Of
President Mckenzie at the convention
of the National Live Stock association
was devoted largely to criticism of
the treatment of stockmen by the rail-
roads He charged that the railroads
had broken faith with shippers of live
stock by taking selfish advantage of
the change in the "hours in transit"
law, which, through the efforts of the
American National Live Stock asso-
citation, was increased from twenty
four to thirty-six hours as the max
imum time during which live stock
could be kept In cars without being
unloaded for feed, water and rest. He
said that the railroads instead of in
creasing their speed rate SO that the
destination was reached more quickly

TO PROBE ALLEGED GRAFT
New York Grand Jury Will Make Ex.
haustive Investigation.

New York, Jan. ga committee
appointed by the grand jury will make
an exhaustive investigation into the
widespread belief that persons con-
nected with financial institutions and
public service corporations of this
city have been guilty of illegal acts.
The grand jury came before Justice
made long presentment on the sub
ject and announced that a committee
will receive reliable information as to
any specific crimes that are believed
to have been committed and that the
committee will make thorough inquiry
into the subject.
The grand Jury in its presentment
declared that widespread belief exist
ed that many persons now or lately
connected with financial institutions
and public service corporations in this
city have been guilty of serious
crimes and the guilty persons should
be discovered and punished II the law
Is adequate for such purposes.
Should the law be found inadequate
to properly protect the community the
grand jury recommends that the legis-
latnre, now in session, should amend
the law. If there has only been a
laxity in the conduct of business and
not criminal disregard of duty 1t is
for the interest of the public that the
fact be made clear, the presentment
states.

than formerly, as promised, consumed
the thirty-six hours in running be-
tween feeding stations. which delayed
the arrival of shipments at the point
of consignment, with consequent great
loss to 2e shipper. He favored the
passage of law by which the rail-
roads could be punished for failing to
give reasonable speed to live stock
in transit and suggested that the inter
state commerce commission should be
given power to enforce such a law.
He also favored a law to compel
railroads to supply cars for stock and
fixing heavy penalties for failure to
do so.

OCCUPANTS KNOCKED ABOUT
Bomb Thrown at House of Mine
Foreman on Mesaba Range.

Biwabils Mimi, Jan. ga bomb
thrown at the house occupied by the
family of Thomas Nicholas, captain of
the Mohawk mine, near Aurora, tore
out one side of the building and threw
Nicholas, his wife and their four chill
dren from their beds. The youngest
child, an infant that was sleeping with
the parents, was seriously injured.
One explanation of the outrage, say
Nicholas friends, is that some of the
foreigners who have been employed at
the mine, quite a number of whom
were recently laid off, conceived the
idea that Nicholas was to blame for
their losing their jobs and decided to
put him out of the way.
Before daybreak the search for the
perpetrators of the outrage had be-
gun. Word was sent to all the neigh
boring police departments to be on
the outlook and through Duluth other
departments will be asked to assist in
hunting down a couple of Italians who
have been working at the Mohawk
for some time and were among those
laid off

JAPANESE POSITION STATED
Foreign Minister Outlines Pol.
icy on Emigration.

Toxic, Jan. 22.-Viscount Hayashi,
Japanese minister of foreign affairs,
in an interview, made a statement
concerning the emigration question
which may be considered as an Off
cial declaration of the attitude of the
government, it having been prepared
for publication in Japan, anticipating
similar statement in the diet. Min.
lister Hayashi said:
THE government of Japan is deter
mined to investigate the personal
standing of those that go to America
as students, requiring two sureties be-
fore they leave. The government
realizes that the emigration of labor
ers pretending to be students is liable
to be embarrassing to America and,
therefore, we are determined to pre-
vent the emigration of laborers.
while the proposed restrictions
may be embarrassing to real students
all legal restrictions will be made
alike because one dishonest person
may embarrass many who are honest
SHOULD emigration to Hawaii not
be prevented entirely the minister of
foreign affairs will not hesitate to en-
tfrely prohibit Japanese emigration to
those sections. The foreign office in
tends to prohibit emigration to Mex
leo. Those who desire to send emf
grants to Mexico will be regarded as
assisting emigrants to enter the Unit
ed States through the frontier and,
therefore, they will be treated as law
breakers

HONORS ABOUT EVEN.
Evelyn Neshit Thaw in Constant
Tits With MIR. Jerome.
NO DETAILS OVERLOOKED
With Her Testimony at the Former
heres to Her Original Story.

New York, Jan. 22.-Mrs Evelyn
Eesbit Thaw continued under the lash
of District Attorney Jerome's cross
examination at the trial of her hus-
band for the killing of Stanford White.
The prosecutor spent much time por-
Ing over the evidence of the former
trial and confronting the witness with
her testimony on that occasion. No
detail was overlooked. Mrs. Thaw ad-
hered to her original story, declaring
1t was all true. Mr.. Jerome was ag-
gressive in his attitude, but his man.
ner of questioning lacked the fire of
the previous day. He and the witness
constantly were engaged in tits In
which the honors seemed to be even.
There was an inclination on the part
of both prosecutor and witness to
argue with each other, but Justice
Bowling cut the debates short when
ever he could.
Thaw listened intently to all that
was said, oftentimes holding his hand
behind his ear to better catch the low
toned replies of his wife.
Mrs. Thaw's cross-examination was
concluded early in the afternoon ses-
sion and she was then asked a few
questions by Mr.. Littleton in redirect
examination.
Frederick w. Longfellow, formerly
attorney for Harry Thaw, was called
to the stand to identify certain letters
he received from Thaw late in 1903
and which were introduced in evi.
dence last year as tending to show
the insanity of the defendant just
after he had heard Evelyn Nesbit's
story. The letters were read to the
jury.

Washington, Jan. 22.-During the
debate In the house on the bill to
codify the penal laws Champ Clark of
Missouri declared that the Democrats
intended to name William J. Bryan
for president at the Denver conven-
tion. Prolonged applause greeted the
statement. Mr.. Clark was speaking
in reply to Mr.. Payne of New York
and in opening touched upon the polit-
ical attitude of Missouri. Mr.. Payne,
he said, seemed to think there was
some question as to how Missouri was
going to vote at the next presidential
election. He then explained that at
the last election $4,000 Democrats
stayed home because they did not
like a certain telegram sent from
Esopus to the st. Louis convention"
Those Democrats, he declared, we're
not dead. They haven't moved away"
he said, land they didn't join the Re-

Berlin, Jan. 22.-There was a seri-

one of the mass meetings organized
and addressed by the socialists. The
police used their sabers when the
crowd hurled missiles at them and be-
fore order was restored many men
were wounded.
The demonstrants, when they en-
countered the police, were marching
down the Schiffbauerdamm, near the
Lustgarten. The authorities tried to
disperse them. The men at once took
up a position around several piles of
tiles before a new theater building
and began hurting the tiles at the po-
lice. The policemen were at once re.
inforced by a mounted detachment,
which charged the crowd with drawn
sabers.
The men scattered and fed, but not
before many had been injured.

tachments of police, armed with sa.

the vicinity. Interference was not
necessary. however, as the meetings
were orderly.
Herren Singer, Bruehne, Emmel,
Lehman, Scheidemann, Steucklan,
Zeubel and others, all Socialist men,
bers of the reichstag, addressed the
assemblies and called upon the state
and the municipality to provide en-

without work to gain a livelihood.
They declared that among the unem-
ployed in Berlin there were 24,826
skilled artisans belonging to trades
unions; this in addition to many thou
sands of unorganized and unskilled
laborers.
At the conclusion of the addresses
