RUSSIAN REFUGEE
SET FREE AT LAST
Christian Rudowitz, Whose ExtradI.
ton to Cars Country Was De-
MED, Released from Jail.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Christian Rudo
WITT, Russian refugee, who was held
in the county Jail for two months
charged by the cars government with
murder and other crimes, is at lib.
erty.
The order of Secretary of State
Elihu Root directing that Rudowitz be
released from custody was received
yesterday by United States Marshal
Luman T. Hoy. Immediately after
ward Deputy Marshal William Grit
fiths was sent to the Jail to have Rudo-
WITT released.
The order of the secretary of state
is as follows:
Washington, D. C.-Luman T. Hoy,
United States Marshal, Chicago.-Sir:
The secretary of state has decided
that the evidence as certified by the
commissioner in the case of Christian
Rudowitz, who was charged by the
Russian government with the crimes
of murder arson, robbery, larceny and
burglary, committed within it's terri
tory, and who was committed by the
commissioner for extradition, is not
sufficient to justify the issuance of the
presidents warrant of surrender.
THE president, therefore, directs
that you discharge the said Christian
Rudowitz from further custody under
the commissioners commitment in the
present proceedings. 1 am, sir, your
obedient servant,
"ELIHU ROOT"
Chief Deputy Marshal Wolf wrote
out an order on the Cook county jailer
directing him to turn Rudowitz over
to Deputy Marshal Grifiiths. With this
order Grifiths went to the Jail shortly
before ten o'clock to get the prisoner.
He was directed to give Rudowitz his
liberty as soon as he had taken him
outside the Jail doors.

ORGANIZED LABOR
 NOT A BAD THING
BUT ITS METHODS SUBJECTED
 TO CRITICISM.
Two Views Held by the National As
 sociation of Manufacturers.

New York, May 17.-An attack on the methods of organized labor broke the otherwise calm routine of the first days session of the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers today at the Waldorf-AstOria. This included a fling at Samuel Gompers, in a report of the committee on industrial education The report was referred to special com mittee after the convention had gone on record as endorsing not an attack on organized labor per SC, but the methods of organized labor"
 The attitude of the delegates was made clear when the motion to refer the report to a special committee was made. Then Anthony Ittner of St. Louis suggested that this committee have the power to emasculate anything in the report that might appear to the members as improper or an unfair at tack upon labor"
 He added that, we do not fight the labor organizations by themselves; we consider them beneficial, but we fight the methods of organized labor-and some of them are damnable" His statements were applauded and the motion was adopted

Rudolph SpPeckeIs Takes Stand in Calhoun Trial HIS MOTIVE $ EXPLAINED
He Was Not After Calhoun's Railroad System The Story of the Granting of the Inn munity Related at First Hands.

San Francisco, May 17.-Rudolph Spreckels. the San Francisco banker, who contributed s1OO,OOO to prosecute an inquiry into municipal conditions in 1906, was called to the witness stand in the trial of Patrick Cal houn today, and added to the case of the people a detailed account of his reasons for opposing Calhoun's plans for railroad development and of the manner in which he became in volved as a supporter of the pros ecution.
 His examination had been in pro- gress but a few moments when As sistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney, replying to a statement by one of the attorneys for the defense, declared that he had thrown down the bars, had summoned Spreclels as a witness for the first time in any of the trials for bribery and that he stood ready to meet any line of inquiry the defense might choose to pursue when the cross examination was reached.
 We have been trying Calhoun and no other" said Heney. but from the time we began the selection of the jury the defense has endeavored to try Rudolph Spreckels and James D. Phelan at the same time. You have ihsinuated, times without number, that MT. Spreckels was back of the prosecution for a malicious purpose, for his personal gain and profit and in an effort to gain control of the

MOULIN GS W ! RTHS BREAK
He Managed to Get Vigorous Criticism of Himself Into the Record and Was Then Denied Privelege of Rep plying to It.

Washington, May IA ruling by Speaker Cannon today prevented, per haps, the re-opening in the house of the old wounds of the civil war. MT. Hollingsworth of Ohio sought to jus tify, as a matter of privilege, his re- cent resolution objecting to the plac- ing of the portrait of Jefferson Davis on the silver service to be presented to the battleship Mississippi. because of editorials in certain southern news papers hurling all sorts of epithets at him. The editorials were read.
 The speaker declared that as the editorials did not attack Holihgs- worth in his representative capacity. he could not continue. The result of Hollingsworths attempt was to get into the Congressional Record a number of uncomplimentary remarks about himself with nothing to offset them. As the editorials were read, the house was convulsed with laugh ter
 Although its consideration was com- pleted, the Philippine tariff bill was not finally acted upon because of the absence of a quorum. Should a res olution by MT.

long. The gentlemen the Gazette sug- gested as an examining committee are all estimable citizens and any of them may have as much information as was supplied the examiner for the Asso- citation of American Advertisers when ever he wants it, if he chooses to go behind the certificate issued by the association and published in The Re publican. In all of its long "holler, the Gazette said nothing of it's own certificate or of the detailed report of the Association of American Adver- tisers, both of which that paper should have, but in lieu of it the Gazette makes another Claim" for which it furnishes no proof. But even this claim is the first public one ever made by the Gazette and The Republican de- serves credit for forcing it into the limelight, erroneous as it probably is.
 As a sample of how these claims" are taken by the eastern advertiser. The Republican submits the following letter recently received from a large eastern firm which advertises exten- SiVely:
Arizona republican., 1909-05-18
45OO FOR ONE WEEK VS. SABA FOR FOURTEEN MONTHS

, A remarkable thing about the Ga- zette is that it never has any stops, according to the figures it presents. The A. A. A. gives it circulation of 45OO for ONE WEEK in March not withstanding it blowed loudly about an examination for fourteen months. A little later the Gazette is found quoting an eastern firm a larger amount and in the article last night there was a still larger number of subscribers, though at the time the Gazette's circulation was examined its big contest was half over and fully 50 per cent of the contest subscriptions of any newspaper are for one, two and three months, and are stopped and off the list by the time the contest is over. But in the case of the Gazette the Hist" goes merrily on whether the papers are being sold or not. The Ga zette is again cautioned not to over play its hand or it's claims" wiA soon become so extravagant the manage ment will become skeptical of its own statements.
 For the information of the Gazette it is stated that The Republican has had stops as well as orders which accounts for the fact that the number of new subscribers acquired in The Republi- cans contest, did not run the average of the papers circulation up any high CT. It also accounts for the fact that The Republican has a considerably smaller circulation than the New York Herald. Another fact is that when a s-fln in f fc fal- of Pa- publicans list and is not carried along to be counted in competitive exam nations. While the average of The Republicans circulation is 6434, the circulation for several months has been fully 600 in excess of that figure and is still growing a little.
 The Gazette dwelt at some length last evening on the brief time spent in The Republican office by the repre- sentative of the A. A. A. It is only necessary to say that he spent all the time he desired, got all the information he required, and furnished a nice clean report, one that The Republican feels quite proud of and is making no effort to go behind Moreover, as to the cor respondence with the gentleman in Fl IdSO ne NdS OlteTtu every pOSSiDlc courtesy for an investigation of cir culation, though no competitive" ex- animation would be entered into.
 The Republican deplores that it seems necessary at times to devote space to controversies of this sort which interest only a limited number of readers and hopes it will not be necessary hereafter to expose at-length the falsehoods of the evening paper every time The Republican has occasion to speak of its own business. It will try with its $500 word telegraph report and the loyal support of an appreciated adver- Using clientele, to go on printing the news. both commercial and advertising, leaving the afternoon paper to it's own devices as much as possible and to the spacing out of its 800 word telegraph report with such abuse of its betters as it may find necessary to justify its vacuous columns.
Arizona republican., 1909-05-18

Because The Republican saw fit yes
 terday morning. to publish an article concerning it's circulation and in so
 doing necessarily disproved the numer-
 ous lies of the Gazette to the effect
 that there had been no examination of The Republicans circulation this year, the evening paper last night went into mysteries. It devoted the greater part of its front page to an effort to square
 itself with the public, though it might
 better have filled the space, or so much
 of 1t as would have been required, with
 its 500 word telegraph report. Cor
 respondence was published showing that the Gazette has been trying ever since last November, to secure recog- milton by the Association of American Advertisers, through an examination
 of it's circulation and that it had final
 ly succeeded but was dissatisfied with the finding of the examiner. apparent 1 ly, because he could not give it REAL circulation for a longer time than one week, and therefore sought
 to discredit his report.
 The Republican has stated at differ ent times why it declined a com petitive examination and will continue
 to ignore such propositions. The Re | publican has been the only newspaper | in Arizona with certified circulation the amount of which was publicly known. The Gazette has consistently
 refused any such information and has tried to cloud the issue by clamoring | for examination. No inexperienced | committee, no matter how honest or
 well meaning, could ever arrive at the GaZette's circulation. except to follow each paper to it's destination, which obviously is impossible. An expert eX- animation amounts to a great deal
 more than the uninformed might i'm agine and merely watching the edition
 run off is but one of many features of it. The entire shop is inspected, the
 capacity of the various departments for service is taken account of and
 checked against the apparent showing, and finally the paper stock handled, not for a day or a week, but for a long period, the stock bought, used, and left on hand, as shown by the bills, etc, is calculated and each of the
 many features that have a bearing on the test of circulation, aside from
 books and press work, is gone into
 with scientific accuracy. and the ex-
 aminers are men who know their busi-
 ness and from this data can work out
 an estimate that is practically as de-
 pendable as a national bank report.
 A typewriter girl with a city di-
 rectory and a few great registers can ] make a fine looking circulation for the Gazette's purposes but only the gen
 uine article can get by an examiner
 of the Association of American Adver- tisers. Padding" with which the Ga
 zette showed such wonderful familiar | ity in it's article last night does not go
 as circulation with the Association of American Advertisers. A paper with
 a known and approved circulation,
 such as The Republican, has no need
 of going against brace game such as the Gazette has had in pickle so

sPRECKELS ESTATE
 GETS INTO COURT KING TO BE TESTED. Two Sons Who Were Left Out Be-
 gun Proceedings.

San Francisco, May Illegal pro- | ceedings, the effect of which will be to test the validity of the will of the late Claus Spreckels, sugar mag nate, who died at his home in this city a few months ago, leaving an estate valued at many millions, were begun today. The will divided the estate into two equal portions, one of which goes to the widow without restrictions of any kind, and the oth- CT into the hands of Rudolph and Claus A. Spreckels, two of the four sons, as trustees, to be distributed as later directed on the death of the widow
 The trustees were named also as executors of the will. During the life of the widow she was to receive half of the estate held by the trus- tees, and on her death that portion was to be divided into three parts, one of which was to go to Rudolph, one to Claus and the other to be held by the trustees and the income to be paid to the daughter, Emma c. Fer ris.
 By these terms the other two sons, John D. Spreckels and Adolph Spreck- els, were ignored in the distribution of the estate except for unfmportant bequests. The executors filed peti- tion with the court a week ago ask ing that property valued at between s2, ,OOO, 900 and s3,OOO.OOO, being a DOT ton of half of the estate held in trust, be transferred from them, as executors. to them as trustees.
 This action is protested by John D.. Spreckels and Adolph Spreckels in a demurrer to the petition filed. The demurrer is viewed as a protective measure taken by the protestants with view to the safeguarding of any rights they may have in the estate.

This is clearly a case of overplaying the hand. The "claim" was too strong. Friends of The Republican on the coast and here in Phoenix have plentifully supplied this newspaper with copies of a letter signed by the president of the Gazette company, which contains this ungrammatical and preposteTous gem:
 That the Arizona Gazette has .he largest circulation in Arizona than any newspaper published. and larger cir culation than the combined circulation of the other two Phoenix dailies," etc
 It was in the Gazette's Phoenix let ter. dated May 14. over the signature of its president, that the fatal quota ton was made, of an extract from the report of the Association of American Advertisers, that the Gazette had a TOTAL circulation FOR THE WEEK ENDING MARCH 18, 1909, OF 4500 COPIES" But at that time the letter writer had not seen The Republicans certificate proving AN AVERAGE CIRCULATION FOR THIS PAPER OF 6434 FOR THE FOURTEEN MONTHS PRIOR TO FEBRUARY 2s, 1909.
