CAUSE OF COLLISION WITH
LINER REPUBLIC REVEALED
Agents of Ship Which Rammed PaIa-
tiaI Steamer, Causing Her to
Sink, Issue State
ment

NEW YORK, Jan. ga statement
as to the cause of the Nantucket col
lision between the White Star liner Re
public and the italian liner Florida was
issued today by @. B. Richards & Co.,
agents of the Florida. The statement
says:
The Florida was proceeding slowly
when the fog whistles of another
steamer, which afterward proved to be
the Republic, were heard by the Of
ficers and lookouts off the starboard
bow of the Italian steamer.
THE engines on the Florida; were re-
versed and two signals of the whistles
were blown, indicating that the engines
were going astern. The collision never
theless took place, the bow of the
Florida striking the port side of the
Republic somewhat aft of amidships.
causing serious damage to both steam
ers.
when the Republic became visible
through the fog she was crossing the
bow Of the Florida from starboard to
port and running at high speed The
helm of the Florida was promptly put
to starboard, hoping to swing the bow
assist in averting the danger of a COL
lision. The other steamer, however,
was running so fast that the vessels
collided.
1.-The published statements that there
was a misunderstanding of orders on
the bridge of the Florida are not true.
The orders given by the captain were
promptly and properly executed"

ACCUSES SENATOR
OF GIVING BRIBES
SCANDAL SPRUNG ON EVE OF
REELECTION
Stevenson of Wisconsin Declared by
State Legislator to Have Partici-
pated in Primary and PoIiti=
cal Corruption

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 26.-Late in
the afternoon the ballot for United
States senator stood: Stephenson, Re
publican, 120; Brown, Democrat, a;
Rummell, Social-Democrat, present but
not voting, 16. If Stephenson can hold
today's strength tomorrow in both
houses a total of 72 votes, he will be
elected United States senator in joint
assembly, as but 81 votes are required

chairman, E. A. EdmunCs of Appleton,
a sum of money in excess of $106, 600
and approximating $250,000 in relation
to the primary election held on Septem-
Der 10 last, and by such acts violated
a Wisconsin statute; that the money
was given to Edmunds to pay to other
electors prior to the primary in sums
ranging from SIS per day to $1,000 in
bulk as a consideration for some act
to be done in relation to the primary
by electors for Mr.. Stephenson.
Other charges allege that the money
was paid to United States senator
Kelly, Sau; county; one Hambrighton
of Racine; Roy Morse Of Fond du Lac
and other persons paid various sums as
a consideration for acts to be done
corruptly and unlawfully.
A motion in the assembly to recall
the investigation resolution from COM
mittee was lost-S0 to So.

YOUTH VANISHES
in CHINATOWN
SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS IN A
MYSTERIOUS MANNER
Goes Sightseeing with Two Girls and
Leaves Them to Make In
quiry-Is Not Seen
Again

ROLAND Poston Of Boise, Idaho, aged
21 years, son of prominent contractor
and who came here from Kansas two
weeks ago to make his home in this
city with his mother, Mrs. Ella Poston
dropped from sight in Chinatown Sun
day night last in a most mysterious
manner, and to date the police have
been unable to find any trace of him.
Young Poston and his mother are the
owners of property at 532 Benton way,
Los Angeles, and came here to take
possession of the property and to make
their home here.
Sunday night last, in company with
Miss Ciceley McKennon of 2523 Belle
vue avenue and Miss Lena Hancock of
721 Solano avenue, he went to China
town to witness the ceremonies of the
opeFing of Chinese New Year.
After the young people had wandered
around Chinatown for a short time
Poston left the young women in the
curiO store Of the Huey company on
Marchessault street and asked them
to wait for him for a few minutes until
he inquired as to where they could go
to see some of the ''real life'' in the
Chinese quarter.
He stepped out of the place and was
swallowed up in the crowd whicn
packed the narrow sidewalk From that
time he has not been seen.
The young women waited in theistore
until 10 o'clock for him to return. and
at that hour concluded to go home.
Girls Much Alarmed
Misses McKennon and Hancock were
very much alarmed at the unexpected
absence of their escort and finally Sc
cured the services of a young Chinese,
who escorted them to a street car,
from which they transferred to a Tenn
pie street car and got home.
They at once reported the disappear
ance Of young Poston, and while no
inquiry was made that night, the next
day his mother attempted to find trace
Of him.
Neither Mrs. Poston nor the police
have found any trace of the young man
from the time he left the curio store.
Mrs. Poston stated last night that her
son carried only a little money with
him, and she could conceive of no rea-
son why he should go away. She is
fearful that he has been enticed into
some place and either made prisoner or
done away with, but for what motive
she does not venture to guess.
The police were informed of the alb
sence of the young man last night, and
Sergeant Charles Sebastian of the Chi
natown squad had the Chinese upar-
ter combed for trace Of him.
Although the search was a most thor
ough one, no news of the young man
was found. 1t is believed by the police
a clew to his whereabouts will be found
today.

COUNCIL IRATE
AT LAWS DELAY
VOICES ITS SENTIMENTS ON
MEXICAN CASE
Communication from Nevada Miners
Union EIicits Strong Expressions
as to Treatment of Alleged
ReVoIutionists
'Tt's shame!" said President Pease

ITS shame!" said President Pease
Simply outrageous" exclaimed
Councilman Ciampitt, his voice trem-
bling with indignation.
Unfortunately said Councilman
Dromgold, 1--WE have no jurisdiction in
the matter and all we can do is to ex-
press our feelings"
This was the spirit in which the city
council received today a cOmmunica-
ton from the Bonanza miners union
No. 235 of RhyOlite, New, asking it to
use it's influence in securing a speedy
trial for the three alleged Mexican
reVOlutionists, Ricardo Flores Magon,
Antonio Villareal and Liberado Rivera,
who have been held in jail some fifteen
months. The communication was
signed by the president, financial Sec
retary and recording secretary of the
organization.
The letter stated that the three
Mexicans were political refugees from
Mexico and that the only crime with
which they had been charged was that
they had taken an active stand against
an oppressive and despotic form of
government" 1t went on tc say that
in doing so they had only followed the
precepts taught every free born Amer
lean citizen at his mothers knee.
Members OF the council showed
themselves entirely familiar with the
case and all were outspoken in their
denunciation of such a travesty on
justice, President Pease and Council
man Clampitt being specially emphatic.
But the. council has no Jurisdiction
over federal cases, and finally decided
on referring the communication to the
Mexican consul. 1t considered such
action would show to some extent it's
sentiments, and that as it was power
less in the matter, such a course was
better than mere filing of the letter.

WORK OF SECURING
JURY FOR TRIAL OF
COOPERS DRAGS ON

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Ef-
forts to secure jury in the case of
Col. D. B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and
John D. Sharpe, charged with the muir
der of former Senator Carmack, were
resumed today with some 400 talesmen
present in court.
Col. Cooper sat between his two
young daughters, Mrs. Lucius Burch
and Mrs. Beverly Wilson, today.
Robin Cooper changed his seat to be
close to his sister, Mrs. Burch.
The latter is an important witness
for the state, but she makes ceaseless
efforts to cheer and console her father
and brother.
G. w. Kieber, one of the taIesmen,
when summoned said:
Tell the judge to go to the devil. I
am too busy to serve as a juror
The officer who served him reported
the matter today. Kieber was brought
into court.
"Sit down over there" said Judge
Hart. 81 won't send you to the devil
right away, but I'll send you some
place else after a while"
Kieber was put in the custody Of an
officer while the examination of tales
men proceeded.

SEA CAPTAIN EXONERATED
FROM BLAME FOR WRECK
Charges of Cowardice and Neglect in
Star of Bengal Disaster, Cost
ing III Lives, Were
Unfounded

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan 26.-Capt.
Erwin Farrer of Seattle received no.
tice yesterday that he and Capt. Pat
rick Hamilton had been exonerated Of
charges of cOwardice and neglect in
connection with the wreck of the can
merry bark Star of Bengal and the loss
OF III lives on Coronation island,
Alaska, September 20 last.
The decision was rendered by United
States Inspectors Whitney and New
hall at Juneau. Capt. Farrer was mas
ter of the tug which was towing the
Bengal, but was compelled to cut the
hawser and seek safety.
Capt. n. Wagner of the Star of Ben
gal preferred the charges against the
tug boats, but the inspectors exonerat-
ed Farrer and Hamilton, vindicating
their actions.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-27

A ASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-ChriStlan
w RudoWicz, whose extradition on
charges Of murder, arson and
other crimes was demanded by the
Russian government, and involving
counter charges that the offenses were
in furtherance of a political movement,
will not be eXtradited.
This decision was announced by Sec
retary Of State Root today.
In effect the extradition was refused
because the offense charged comes
under the general prohibition against
eXtradition in the treaty with Russia
which declares that if it be made TO
appear that extradition is sought with
the view to try or punish for an of
fense of a political prisoner surrender
shall not take place.
The testimony taken in the case by
United States Commissioner Foote at
Chicago, it was held, upholds the views
taken by the department, though the
commissioner upheld the Russian gov
ernment'S demand.
Mr.. Root declined to comment on the
decision at this time, pending formal
notification to the Russian authorities
of the departments decision.
The case aroused widespread interest,
particularly in Chicago among the anti
Russian element, where a fund was
raised in defense of the man.
Establishes No Precedent
The action by the secretary, it is
said, does not establish any precedent,
as the question was regarded at the
department as simply whether or not
the case was one calling for extradition
for an offense against the law or
whether it was one of political char
acter.
Rudowicz was an acknowledged mem
ber of the Socialist Democratic Labor
party, a Russian revolutionary organ
ization with branches in all parts of
the world, whose avowed purpose is
the Improvement of political conditions
in the empire.
He is charged with having murdered
or participated in the murder of a man,
his wife and married daughter in one
of the Baltic provinces in 1906.
The next year he came to the United
States and went to work in a large
manufacturing establishment.
AT the hearing in Chicago testimony
was offered both by Rudowicz and his
witnesses that the order for killing
these persons was issued on the ground
that they were spies and that they
travelled around the country in this
capacity, but they gave the names of
persons taking part in revolutionary
movements directed against the govern
ment.
There was some discrepancy in the
evidence as to whether the order to
murder had been given by a county or
state group" which directed the opera
tions of the various branches of the
revolutionary party.

If the fellows who are eternally
harping on the evil of bad laws in
Texas with regard to the coming in
of outside capital will point out these
evil laws and show how and why they
are hurtful there are just enough good
loyal men in the state to put such
laws out of business in the shortest
possible order. And this would be
the sensible course to pursue This
continual knocking about bad laws
and hurtful laws can never do any
good, but works much injury to the
state and its development. If we
have these bad laws point them out,
name them, and let's all get busy and
GUST them.
