SEES REDS eaREAK 'Mobs Make Attack on Spsish
 Embassy. FERRER'S DEATH E CAUSE Mounted Po6ce Drive lnfriated Socialists From Place. With Anarchissic EmbIems and Hoots at king AIfenso and other RuIers, Red FIag is Raised
 in Ensiish capi-
 

London. oct. 1.-The red flag was raised in London this afternoon and q large mob moved upon the Spanish em- bassy. to make demonstration of It's dtsapproval of the execution of Pro- lessor Ferrer. the convicted revolu- tionist, at Barcelona few days ago.
 Several bodies of police were sta- tioned at the approaches to the em- bassy, and they drove off the crowds in their usual bloodless, effectuaI way But considerable excitement and un- easiness pervaded the neighborhood . The groans and hootings were plainly heard in the embassy and at Bucking- ham Palace, nearby.
 No one was Injured seriously, al- though the mounted police rode against the crowds and scattered them several times.
 The trouble began with a mass mest- ing in Trafalgar Square. which was organized by several socialist and la bor bodies. Several hundred of the members of these organizations march, ed to the square. carrying red flags, draped with crepe, bearing inscriptions denouncing King Alfonso. A black bordered banner was raised against the Nelson column, with big letters that read from afar, TO Hell With the Murderer. Alfonso.
 After J. F. Grey, Secretary of the Friends of Russian Freedom. had call- ed the meetinf to order. he read a telegram from the Countess of War wick. saying:
 Countess Sends Message.
 No words are too strong to express Europe's horror at the murder of Fer re-"
 Several iaborite members Of Parlia- ment delivered strong orations. Victor Graysons of Manchester, the Socialist member, capped the climax by deciar- ing that if the head of every King of Europe was torn from his body. 1t would not pay half the price of Fer rer's life. He called the Russian Em- peror "a dirty monster. and said that King Edward. who could have prevent ed the execution. was responsible for whatever might happen in England as result of it. He demanded the expulsion of the Spanish Ambassador.
 Strong resolutions were adopted be- fore the meeting ended. Several thous- and persons assembled in the square. the majority attracted by the same cu- Tiosity that would attract them to the suffragette demonstrations. The So- cialists' society, carrying their ban- ners, then marched in good order to the Spanish embassy. singing revolu- tionary songs and hooting King AL fonso. A great rabble accompanied them, filling the streets.
 It was dark when they reached the open square in front of the embassy, and found the square was filled wNh platoons of police. The embassy win dows were dark. and there was no sfRn of life there. The police would not let the procession enter the square. or even stop. The crowds were turned hack and kept moving up Victor Street. toward the Parliament build ing. shouting and grooming. The re- serves were then brought up. and they drove the mob into the side streets, dispersiug 1t without serious trouble.

ATTACKS FEDERAL BENCH
NEBRAsKA's GOVERNOR SCORES
 JUDGES ACTION.
rbiurx. Decision That Bank Guaranty Law Is Unconstitutional snacis of Partisnnship--AfsO Charges
 Usurpation of Power.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 17--1n a statement on the action of the two Federal judges who yesterday declared the Ne- braska bank guaranty law unconstitu- tiouai. Governor Shallengerger depiores the ruling as smacking. he says. of partisanship, and what he believes Is a distinct blow at remedial State legis- lation.
 Governor Shailenberger also declares the reference of the case to the Fed eral instead of the State judiciary a usurpation of power He says in part:
 saThe decision is exactly what those who for partisan or selfisn reasons are opposed to any effective guaranty or deposits law desired. It goes to the very heart of the question and denies the right of the State to require the hanls which exist by virtue of their charters. to pay @ certain tax to cre- ate a guaranty fund or to prescribe a form and manner under which the banking business shall be conducted. IL appears to leaving banRtng no more a matter for public legisTation or lim- Itatfon than the grocery or butcher bus. mess.
 "The law which has been set aside by the decree of the court was fraught with great benefit to the people. am sure that the people desired the leg ,slatIon and were anxious to see 1t put into actual practice. One result of the nuJliAcation of legislation by the courts would be to intensity the desire and determination that our State Supreme Courts shall not be longer constituted wholly of members of one political par ", Gt might be noted in pagsing. that the distinguished Democrat of this State Ivho was made a Federal judge by a reyered Republican President. was not called into judgment upon this case.
 The overthrow of legislative enact. ments by interference by the executive. bv the use ot patronage or the veto mower, and by the nullifivation of laws by our courts has steadily tended to degrade the power of the legislative hranch of our government and to make 1t a thing for politicians and lobbyists Id play with

 tI suppose you are interested in frri- gation here. All can say about this is that this Western trip of mine has impressed me deeply with the import ance of irrigation. with a view to max ing all this Western country produc- tive. The truth is. we are exhausting the land of the East and the high price of farm products and everything of that kind is explained by the fact that we are using up most of the land and unless we can extend our territory by making that which has heretofore been a desert useful, we are up against 1t.
