Yesterday Alexander Horr. of Seattle

for Miss Goldman's visit.
Things are too quiet on the coast"

Shippy of Chicago; the conviction of

But Instead, Goes to Pest House.

DR.. S. A. Fulton, a well known dem
tist of this city. who has his offices in
the Die Brucke building, was yester-

ment prevailed in the building when

pox.
There is, however, assurance from
physicians that there is no danger
from contagion in the building.

EVANS PLACE.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Al-
though the names of Captain Schroe-
der and Sperry have been frequently
mentioned in connection with the COM
mand of the Atlantic squadron after
Evans gives up the fleet, it is said that
it is practically certain that Richard
Wainwright will be given the COM
mand.
President Roosevelt is very fond OF
Wainwright and this will go far to-
wards a decision.
It is said that Evans will not give up
the fleet until just before it leaves
San Francisco.
In the meantime it is thought Evans
will be made a. vice admiral.

CHICAGO, March 14.-An organized

Bohemian fortune teller. hypnotist,
Inecromancer, dispenser of charms and

Unless the confession of 18-year- old
Jaroslav VrZal, who escaped the tragic
fate of nearly all the other members
of the Vrzal family and whose testi-
mony was the main factor in convict
ing Bilek. now serves to save the b.
|hemian from the hangman. In an affi-
davit, young Vrzal not only admits
that his testimony was pure perjury,
but he declares that two of his rela-
Itives also lied.
The supreme court has affirmed the
verdict of death, but it is likely tnat
Governor Deneen will intervene to pre-
vent. at least, the immediate execu-
ton of the sentence.

declaring that he is innocent and that
he is now certain that he will be ac-
quilted and set free.

Following are the deaths in the
Vrzal family. all resulting apparently
from the same cause, that lead to the

LONDON, March 14.-China. fgu-
ratively speaking, dealt Japan an
other slap in the face when she re-
fused to recognize the transfer to
Japan of shore rights recently granted
to the Great Northern company, a Dam
ish cable company. The Japanese are
said to be boiling over with wrath at
this latest move and complications are
certain.
The trouble is over the Shanghai
lNagasaki cable. Recently Japan COM
pleted arrangements to take over the
company.
When Peking heard of this the gov
ernment notified Japan and the Great
Northern company that the transfer
would not be sanctioned.
| The general belief here is that Chi
ma has called the Mikado's bluff in the
Tasu Maru case and that either Japan
| is held by Great Britain or lack OF
funds, from making war.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Jefferson
day dinner of the National Democratic
Club April 13 is not going to be devoid of
human or political interest if the press
agents of William ]. Bryan know their
business, and they think they do. If
Mr.. Bryan attends the dinner he is going
to make speech. His press agents have
said SO, and no one can doubt that Mr.
Bryan will be willing to oblige
harry w. Walker. Mr.. Bryan's personal
representative in this city. announced to-
day that he has received a check for
1000 from a personal friend of the peer
less one, and with that backing he has
engaged the ballroom of the Waldorf As
tor1a Hotel for the evening of Aprl IA
in which to hold a rival Jefferson day
feast If Mr.. Bryan decides that he will
not attend the dinner of the National
Democratic Club. Mr.. Walker said:
Ready for Contingencies
II do not know whether Mr.. BRYAN vii,
come to the Democratic Club or not, but
If he does he will have to speak. even
II 1t IS against his will. The people who
pay SO for ticket will have more to say
than a committee of the club. Two-thirds
of the members of the Democratic Club
are Bryan men and they will not allow
Thomas F. Ryan and August Belmont
through a committee to tell them what
to do.
LAS far as I am personally concerned,
I think that under the circumstances Mr..
Bryan should refuse to accept the invi-
tation. I have this morning engaged the
large ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria,
which will hold 1000 people. Mr.. H H.
Hughes of Springfield. Mo-. the leading
democrat of the Ozark mountains, has
placed in my hands a check for 81 600 to
the order of the New York Progressive
Democratic League. to be expended In
celebrating the birthday of Thomas JET

Mr.. Bryan and asked him II he would be

templated.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio April 1.-Political
interest centers now in the meeting of
the republican state central committee,
which is to be held here Friday OF this
week. It Is rumored that the committee
will at this meeting make some changes In
the personnel Of the recently nominated
state ticket. It is said that the commit
tee is Of the opinion that radical changes
must be made In the ticket in order to
save 1t from defeat. and that 1t will not
stop with the removal of Charles c. Green,
the candidate for state treasurer, but will
ask also for the retirement Of e. NJ. Full
lington, the candidate for state auditor.
and Grant U. Denman of Toledo, the
candidate for attorney general. These
are the three candidates who the republic
can newspapers of the state now boiling
the ticket claim were placed on the ticket
by sIate-making combination Of George
B. Cox. State Auditor w. D. Guilbert and
Chairman Walter F. Brown Of the re-
publican state central committee.
At the close of the republican state
convention it was the consensus among
the state leaders Of the party that 1t
would be unWise to take any steps to-
ward the opening of the state campaign
vention. The fact that they have so quick
ly changed their minds indicates that the
report that changes are to be made in
the state ticket is true. Otherwise meet
ing of the state central committee at this
time would be unnecessary.
The recent visit Of State Auditor Gull
bert and George B. Cox TO Washington
is said to have concerned the Ohio sit
uation. President Roosevelt 1s said to
have given these gentlemen to understand
that he Is not at all pleased with the
formation Of a state slate under cover OF
the Taft movement. The simultaneous
appearance here of Mr.. Hitchcock OF the
Taft organization tends to confirm the
suspicion of many that the President Is
dissatisfied with the direction Of the Taft
movement that A. I. Vorys Is giving it..
and that he has not been able to accept
the explanations Of the sending out from
the Taft headquarters here OF literature
tending to show that Secretary Taft, II
elected, will not stand for all that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has stood for. There is
even a feeling here that Mr.. Vorys may
retire from the head Of the TAFT move
ment within a few weeks.
So far as the organization OF the re-
publican campaign committee Is con-
cerned that Is already outlined. Henry
A. Williams, now associated with MIR.
Vorys in the Taft movement here. Is to be
the chairman of the campaign committee
and w. H. Phipps of Pauldin6 county is
to be the secretary.

SOLDIERS DENIED JUSTICE.
Committee Opposes Reinstatement
of Those Shown to Be Innocent.

The five democratic members Of the
Senate committee on military affairs have
succeeded in defeating both the Warner
and the Foraker bills for the restoration
to duty Of negro soldiers Of the 25th In
fanty who were discharged without
honor because Of the ARRAY at Browns
vile. Tex. The success OF the minority
was accomplished by voting as q unit
against the divided majority The effect
will be to cause both bills to be reported
adversely. A majority vote Of the Senate
would enact one Of the bills, however.
and Senator Warner IL hopeful that his
measure will yet become law.
The essential point OF difference between
the two bills Is that the Warner measure
provides that the President may rein
state any soldier upon becoming salts
fed that he Is innocent of the charges
against him, while the Foraker bill COM
pels the reinstatement Of such soldiers
If they take oath Of their innocence.
When the committee met yesterday aft
ernoon Senator Warner moved to report
his bill favorably, whereupon Senator
Foraker moved to substitute his bill.
The latter motion was defeated. the five
democrats, Messrs. Taliaferro. Foster,
Overman, Frazier and McCreary, Joining
with Messrs Warren, Lodge, Warner
and Dupont in opposing It. A vote was
then taken on the Warner bill and 1t
was voted down. the five democrats join
ing with Senators Scott, Foraker and
Bulkeley in opposition.

when the world began to wake up, pranks

petrated upon the unsuspecting. and
there were many laughs and many frowns
as result. The day Is regarded of such
Importance in the economy of human
happiness by the Germans that each year
the German societies set apart a. special
celebration in its bonor. Its origin is of
doubtful antiquity. The generally &C.
