Protect Communication Line

TIOkCSs SOIuIuOtIlOdSiOu W
The expedition that went in from
Baku found it's TANKS to be menaced
by the brigands, it therefore occupied
points in Persian territory in order to
adequately protect the line of COM
munication. In addition to the losses
previously reported the Russians have
had seven soldiers killed. The Rus
sian commander says in a report that
the Persian authorities have lost their
heads entirely and that anarchy reigns
In the district. Advices received here
from Tabriz are that the governor Of
that city has received imperative or
ders from Teheran to hasten the dis
patch of a Persian force into the dis
turbed territory, sending all the reg
ular troops available.
Governor to the Scene.
Lieut.. Gen. Mistchenko, governor
general of Tifis, has left here for the
Kars district to supervise the precau-
tionary measures Russia Is taking
along the Turkish frontier in view Of
the mobilization Of Turkish troops on
the other side Of the line. The people
of Tifis are considerably concerned
over this situation, but higher mill
tary officials now profess confidence
that the Turkish measures are not d.
rected against Russia.

LAW IS Hello VALID
ILLINOIS STATUTE UPHELD BY
THE SUPREME COURT.
Local Option Measure Passed by tho
Legislature Last Year ls De-
cIared Constitutional.

Springfield, Ill, Apr. 24.-The 81.
preme court Thursday handed down
an opinion in the John Mcbride appeal
case. holding that the local option law
which was passed by the legislature
last year is constitutional in every re-
spect. The court is unanimous in its
decision. Every point on which the
law was attacked is gone into by the
court, and no section of it but what
is pronounced valid by the supreme
court. The supreme court holds that
the title Is not defective; that the law
does not interfere with Interstate CON-
merce; that it does not %con1scate
property, because the saloon keeper
invests In furniture and FILINGS
knowing that he is liable to have his
license revoked at any time under the
old law, even, and that the new law
does not create any new offenses.
The higher court also holds that the
United States stamp is prima facle
evidence that the man is engaged in
the sale of liquor; that in case Of cleo
tions without notice. for which it pro.
vides, such elections, If held, would be
invalid, but that this does not invali.
date the act itself. The supreme
court holds that the legislature may
create districts like a county or town:
ship, and that If the voters in the
district shall decide that Intoxicating
liquors shall not be sold in the dis
trict then a village or city in this dis.
trict created cannot permit the sale
Of liquor. The sale Of liquor for
medicinal purposes by druggists ia
never regarded as the saloon business,
says the supreme court.
Regarding the returning Of the ga;
loon license creating a debt, the gu,
preme court holds that when a man
gets a saloon license and cannot use
1t, the municipality issuing the license
ID morally bound, though not before
the passage of the law, legally bound,
to pay 1t back to him.
One of the principal objections was
that the law permits the legislature to
delegate legislative powers to the PEG.
pie by permitting people in localities
to adopt the law. The supreme court
says that from the beginning to the
end the supreme court Of this state
has held that to be legal.

WASHINGTON SENATOR SEEKS
TO AMEND NAVAL BILL IN
THAT WAY.
Backs Presidents PIan-Appropriation
of 100000 for Two Vessels Is In
serted-Materials for .Warships
Must Be Purchased in America.

Washington, Apr. 24.-As the sen,
ate was about to conclude considera-
ton of the naval appropriation bill
Thursday Senator Piles of Washington
proposed an amendment increasing
from two to four the number of new
battleships to be authorized. AS sew
eral senators desired to speak on the
amendment the further consideration
of the bill was postponed until Friday.
An amendment to the naval bill was
adopted appropriating 100000 to
begin construction on the two battle
ships authorized by the bill a it was
passed by the house.
Materials Cheap In America.
A spirited debate occurred on the
amendment for the restriction of the
purchase Of materials for the con-
struction Of the battleships, subma-
rine boats, ETC., to those of domestic
manufacture. Amendments to remove
that restriction from the bill were de-
feated, Mr.. Hale stating that since
the investigation of the steel trust
some years ago the price of steel
armor had been reduced from $3.50
to $500 per ton to 416 per ton. MI.
Beveridge declared that the United
States pays less for it's armor plate
than any other nation except Japan.
President Threatens a Veto.
Washington, Apr. 23.-President
Roosevelt will veto the naval appro.
priation bill should the senate, as did
the house, fail to make any a%ppropria,
ton for the two battleships which are
authorized in the measure. The
prompt announcement Of this fact to
senate leaders Wednesday Is regarded
as responsible for the announcement
by Mr.. Hale that he would propose an
amendment appropriating $4,000 0C
towards the construction of those
ships.
The president stated his position on
this point with usual emphasis and
s%uddenness, upon learning that the
bill, as passed by the house, was sim
ply a paper" provision for naval in
crease. Authorization Of the ships
was made, but no money carried tc

ness, as we'll as bearing all the ear
marks of legislative legerdemain, in

GIVES NEW YORK TO TAFT.
New York Herald Predicts vivtory for
Republican Ticket in State,

New York, Oct. 6.--The New York
Herald today said: Mr.. Taft, accord
ing to all surface indications, at pres
ent holds New York state It ap-
parently will require a political con-
vulsion or revolution in the remain
ing weeks Of the campaign to dislodge
him from his position.
Mr.. Chanler's chances now seem su-
perior to those OF Mr.. Hughes for gov
ernor. But in the opinion of many po-
litical observers the full strength OF
the opposition to the present governor
developed early in the campaign.
They declare it is now at flood tide,
and is likely to recede during the com
ing month. The vigorous whirlwind
campaign which the governor is about
to begin, his supporters believe, will do
much TO win the state.
The preceding paragraphs sum up
the situation as the Herald finds II
after a careful preliminary canvass OF
the entire state.
There are not likely to be any heavy
pluralities either way. The governor
and other sanguine republicans do not
expect Mr.. Taft to carry the state by
more than $4,000. The democrats hope
to elect Mr.. Chanler by $4,000 and some
of them figure out small plurality for
Mr.. Bryan.

HEAD OF LEAGUE OF REPu5Ll.
CAN CLUBS TO SPEAK.
Services Of Engineer to BE Used In an
Effort to Capture the Votes of Or
sanized Labor-cIub Is Being Ex-
tended TO Every State.

Washington, Oct. 6.-John Hays
Hammond, president of the National
League of of Republican clubs, will
travel through the mining states with
in the next two weeks and make
speeches for the republican ticket. Mr..
Hammond is we'll known among the
miners, and his services are expected
to do much toward removing any dis
satisfaction that may exist in that part
of the country on account of the efforts
OF the democrats among organized la
Dor. t@
During his conference with the presi-
dent this week Mr. Hammond made an
extended report, showing the develop
ment of the organization Of which he
is the head and its growth in the pres
ent campaign to upward of a million
members. which number. he says, is to
be doubled before election, day. ...
Smell Smith, national secretary of
the organization, said of the work of
the league ff3a'st-iNr
when Mr.. Hammond assumed the
presidency of the league, Sept. /, sue
ceeding Gen. Edwin A. McAlpin, he
found in a few states the league had
been continuously and consistently ac-
tive; in some if had become dormant,
and in many 1t remained in existance
only on paper. With unremitting en-
deavor he sought to rehabilitate it and
put it upon a basis where it would be
an effective and practical working force
lin the campaign. Headquarters were
opened in the Hotel Astor, New York
city, and such interest was aroused
in the movement that at the national
convention of the league, held last
week in Cincinnati, nearly every state
in the union was represented by a
strong delegation.
"At the final meeting in the evening,
when Judge Taft spoke, 5000 people
attended Judge Taft also rendered
the delegates a reception. The plan
of campaign for the league was thor
oughly discussed and much enthus-
iasm aroused.
"Since then the delegates have re-
turned to their respective states and
are working assiduously to extend the
club organizations.
Among those prominent in the club
work are winston Churchill. of New
Hampshire; W. W. Heffelfinger of Min
neapolis, the old football star, men
toned as possible candidate for gov
ernor OF his state, and Robert w, Goe-
| let, of Providence r. l."

EDISON EXPECTED TO LOSE
SUIT FOR MANY MILLIONS.

New York, Oct. s.--Suits pending
against Thos. A. Edison and his COM
panies for seven years are expected
to end this month by judgment OF
from $7,000.000 to sS,O00,000 against
the inventor.
Capitalists organized to sell the Edi-
son phonograph. This organization
having got into difficulty, Edison IL
said to have offered to conduct the
sales himself for two years. Later
the assets OF the sS.e0O.0O0 organization
were sold under the hammer for s12b,-
600 to Frederick r. OFT, who is said
to have acted for the inventor.
Then Edison is said TO have or
ganized the National company as q
sales company, and the members 81
the original company now demand o
part OF the original profits.
