yesterday in the trial of Patrick CAL
houn, president of the United Rail-
roads, on a bribery charge.
Luther Brown, who admitted that
ne directed the activities of several
assistants worins in the interests Of
the defense, was asked as TO his
relations with men who have con-
fessed 10 compli,ity in the theft OF
papers from the office of w. j. Burns
agent OF the prosecution. He re-
fused to answer on the ground that
his statements might tend 10 incrim-
mate himself.
Norman Melrose, another attache

bureau, said he had delivered TO Will
liam NJ. Abbott. general attorney
for the United Railroads and jointly
indicted with Mr.. Calhoun, reports
procured by men under his direction.
Nicholas Korngold, now in the EN-
ployment OF the prosecution, but for
merly a United Railroads detective,
testified that he had followed Dis
trict Attorney Iangdon, with two de-
te,tiYes and John Claudlanes, to
the Oakland home of James L. Gala
CHER, which had been wrecked by
dynamite. He declared that Abbott
had commended him for this work
and had instructed him to ascertain
what had occurred in the grand jury
rom in Oakland when Clandianes was
indicted in connection with the dyn-
amiting.
All the testimony of the day was
offered, according to Prosecutor

Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. Abbott were
ENGAGED in a conspiracy TO suppress
evidence.

PORTO RICO WANTS TO

Washington, May 6.-Porto
Ricans, representing the Republican
party of their islands. have come here
to urge that the United States grant
citizenship to the islanders. They in

sympathies, If possible, 10 get Con-
gress to take up the Porto Rican
citizenship plank contained in the
last Republican national platform.

formed themselves into an Illegal
monopoly for the control Of the ex-
press business throughout the United
States and that they are conducting
such monopoly in violation OF the
Sherman antitrust act OF 1887.
The senator asks the commission
to break up the monopoiy and to fix
schedule of prices for the express
business which will bear fair re-
lation to the cost OF transportation.
That such proceeding had been
begun became known yesterday when
Il was announced in the supreme
court by +. II. Newkirk, as counsel
for John II. Dudley, that he wished
to withdraw temporarily his motion
for the appointment OF temporary
receiver for the Uuited States Express
Co., pending the trial of his suit for
a permanent receivership and the
dissolution of the corporation N
Attorney Newldrk SAID he had
learned some additional facts con-
cerning the need of a temporary re-
ceivership and that he wished to in
corporate these facts in a new set of
affidavits.
Among the new facts IS the COM
plant of Senator Sundberg. Addi-
tional facts relate to the personal
management OF the United States
Express Co. by the Plat family and,
It is believed, the new papers to be
submitted by Attorney Newkirk will
shed interesting sldelights on the
system of nepotism which is alleged
to have governed the appointment Of
officials in the company under the

Washington, May pa protocol
for submission to arbitration Of the
Emery claim was signed at $3.50 last
night with representatives OF the Mic
araguan government at the home OF
Secretary of State Knox.
In the protocol Is a provision that
during four months from this date the
representatives of Nicaragua will

reach a definite settlement of the
claim directly with the company, sub
ject to the approval of the govern

in such settlement, the course OF
arbitration will begin at the expire
ito nof the four months.

WHAT PUBLIC
OPINION stands FOR

That proposition of the President
to cut the war expenditures $4,000,
900 is eminently sane. There is no
good reason for fostering the military
spirit in our country. Such a course
would be barbarism. No armies
threaten us; no fleets are hostile:
no nation is our enemy; but Great
Britain, Germany, France and
Japan, the only sea powers of i'm
portance, are all suppliants for our
favor and good opinion if not even
for some kind Of an alliance. AS
the years roll by tnis disposition to
seek the favor of our government
and people will grow stronger be-
cause our relative potential energy
will Increase each year and each
decade over any other nation 1t is
because our country has thus re-
served power that It is able to take
the responsibility for promoting the
worlds peace and really begin the
work of beating it's swords into
plowshares and its spears into prun.
ing hooks"
Congress should lend a hand to
this initiative and cut down these
expenses for both the army and
navy. AS for the expenses for dig
ging the Panama canal they should
not be reduced but that work should
be carried 70 rapid completion. The
money expended for that matter is
in line with intelligent thought and
enlightened craftsmanship and has
for its purpose to better subserve
the welfare of mankind while the
cultivation Of the war spirit, the
augmentation of armies and navies,
Is at best only costly and unproduc-
tive necessity. And where 1t is not
that 1t is an extravagant expenditure
OF money. The government expenses
are too high by about 100000, 600
and this reduction of S36 600 700 II
but one of three that should be made.
Give us an economical expenditure Of
the public money, a reduction of ex-
cessiye tariffs and then if there is a
deficit enact an income or inheritance
tax, or both, to make up the shortage.
That is what the people want and
taht is what they will get sooner or
later. The desires of the people
make up public opinion and public
opinion is stronger than presidents
and cabinets and armies and navies
because it is the ultimate power
which stands back of them all. But
where will Aldrich and hale and
smoot and Flint and Depew and Can
non and Payne stand on this propo-
sition TO reduce war expenses $780,

LOOSENS
A LITTLE
Russia May Not Hold SO
Firm a Grip Upon
Church People.

st, Petersburg. May 26-The Duma
began the discussion of a law ia
legalize the sect of Old Believers.
This is the first of series of import
ant measures designed to put into er-
feet the principles of religious liberty
enunciated in the Emperor's mani
festo of May 10, 1905. The sect Of
the Old Believers, which in various
forms embraces 15,0o0,OO0 worshipers
is the largest dissenting body in
Russia. 1t separated from the parent
orthodox church during the period
of religious reforms under Peter the
Great.
The bill, which was first enacted
as an emergency measure after the
dissolution of the second Duma,
grants the Old Believers the free
practice of their religion together
with certain special rites, but 1t de-
nies them the privilege OF proselyt-
ing among the members OF the ortho-
dox church, OF preaching in public
or of using the title of priest for their
elergymen. The bill was subjected
to two-sided attack. A represen-
tatiye Of the Holy Synod denied en-
tirely the right of parliament to legis-
late in matters affecting the orthodox
church, while the liberals proposed
amendments removing all the restric-
tions.
The measure probably will be
passed in the form it is reported to
the Duma

AS a rule I'VE do not place much
stress on Henry Clews' weekly letter,
hut his recent discussion of stocks,
harvests, Industrial situation, money
market, imports and exports and the
tariff question are of more than usual
clearness and Importance. He init
mates that there will be no reforma-
tion Of the tariff and thinks the
opposition to Aldrichs domination is
fruftless and that 1t will be settled
early. 1t will be a sore day in
human history if such a monopolist
and representative OF predatory
wealth as Aldrich has his way with
out determined opposition. II oc-
ours to us that a gentleman OF large
size now occupying a big house, in
Washington, with a sharp eye on 1912,
will not wholly agree with Mr..
Clews. But the prophets differ.

A large corps of civil engineers con-
nected with the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company are encamped In
the grove behind No slope.
They are surveying the recently &C.
quired properties of the company, pre-
paratory to the erection of an immense
water storage plant. 1t Is stated a
Reservoir so feet deep will be built on the
new property. The engineers have their
camp arranged in a military fashion and
1t presents a neat appearance. The

big improvements are contemplated by
the company.
