PRAISE FROM RUSSIAN.
Government Printing Office Is the Best
In the World.

In the Worid.
Captain Jean de Nazimoff, cham
berlain of the tZar and vice director
of the imperial printing office in st.
Petersburg, left for Russia after Wis
iting the government printing in
Washington, and spending a busy
three weeks in inspecting the other
printing plants and manufacturing
establishments as far west as Chica-
go. In an interview Captain de Nail
moff said that he had found out why
America was such a great country,
and believed that he had met one Of
the greatest men in it in Judge E. H.
Gary, head Of the United States Steel
corporation.
For five days I spent six hours
each day in the government printing
office in Washington, where every ia
cility was given me to investigate"
he said to New York Herald report
er. "It is the best printing office I
have seen, and I have inspected the
government institutions in Berlin,
London, Vienna and Paris. Especial
ly should I mention the method of
getting out work quickly, which does
not exist abroad.
"Your great newspaper plants have
no duplicate in Europe. The people
here demand that their news shall be
purveyed quickly, and I found that
every city has ample provision for the
instant spreading of the news Of vital
happenings. The workmen in the
printing offices are imbued with the
same spirit that found in every trade
that I inspected-to do their best all
Of the time. The fact that many
plants do not stop at the noon lunch
con for more than half hour sur
prised me, for in Europe it Is an hour
and a half to two hours in many cases,
but work late into the evenings to
make up. Here your American work.
man stops work at what seems to me
an early hour and can go home to
his family at a time when they will
enjoy his presence.
Although I have visited America
three times, and expect to come again
next year, I was not prepared for
such sights as / have seen In the world
Of mechanics. Through the kindness
of Judge Gary, who took me from
Chicago on a special train, saw the
new town of Gary, now being built on
the shore of Lake Michigan. To see
the long rows Of magnificent dwell
ings, factories, works and public util-
ity buildings that had arisen from the
sand of the prairie in two years was
like awakening from a dream"

he prayed. Once upon time he was
kneeling at the foot Of the altar. The
pope saw him there and anointed him,
and so he became German Emperor.
Then he gave the people German

churches. These learned to read and
to write. When he died he sat down
in a golden chair and was put in a
vault. He Is sitting there STILL"

BURGLARS IN BosToN.-A Boston
burglar at midnight stealthily climbed
a heavily carpeted stairway, a dim
candle in hand, when the voice of the
unseen mistress about called: Who is
there?" Abstractedly, the intruder an

still. At this crucial moment that
Boston burglar suddenly overcome by
the consciousness of one of the worst
breaks of his life, lost heart, turned
wearily about, descended to the base
ment, deliberately ate small piece of
cold chicken and sauntered away in
deepest detection from the back door.

Well Known in Wall Street
as a FinanCier.

New York March 4-Made despond-
ent by ill health and the collapse of a
number of financial and industrial I'M
dertakings he had launched, Frank G..
HOllins, so years old, the well-known
Wall street banker. today committed
suicide by inhaling Illuminating gas.
The banker was the lessee or d pre-

position with his brothers firm, II. X.

some disagreement. he left to engage in
company promoting, particularly Of
straw pulp manufacturing schemes.

BALTIMORE THE
STORM CENTER
Thousands of Persons on Their
Way to Witness Taft Inau-
guration SnoWbound.

Baltimore, March 4.-The storm of last
night and early today seemed to center
in Baltimore and vicinity The train serv-
ice was crippled 50 that a great crowd
of persons, from Philadelphia, New YORK
and other cities, were stranded at the
railroad stations unable to proceed to the
capital. This condition was due chiefly
to the blowing down of the telegraph
and telephone wires along the railroad
tracks.
Snowdrifts also made traffic particularly
difficult between Baltimore and Wash
ingtOU and other sections within radius
Of fifty-flve miles of the city. At a.
m twenty-five trains were stalled be
tween Baltimore and Washington.
Wrecking gangs were hurried out, with
the result that by noon the tracks were
cleared up enough to permit slow tTaf-
fic.
A single emergency wire was strung in
an effort TO get the city in communica-
ton with the outside world
One of the first trains to reach the
Union station of the Pennsylvania rail
road was the Colonial Express, between
Washington and Boston. This train left
Washington several hours after the sched-
uled time. $50 a. m. and arrived in Bal
timore at 1870 o'clock In the afternoon,
nearly five hours late 1t was crowded
with Philadelphians, New Workers and
others who decided to start for their
homes rather than run the risk of being
snowboUnd in the capital city over night.
Two persons at least are known to have
persisted as a result of the storm These
were Policeman Thomas Worthington and
Miss Marguerite SchUmpf, who were elec-
trocuted by coming in contact with fallen
live wires.

DISEASED AMERICAN MEAT
Startling Allegations of Medical Of
fcer of the Port of London Con-
corning Recent Consignment.

London. March 4.-Startling allegations
concerning the diseased condition of some
recent consiynments of American meat
are contained in a report by DR.. VIII
lsms, medical officer of the port of Lon
don, presented to the city council to
day.
In a shipment of meat that arrived
Feb DR.. Williams reports that he found
% sheep livers and 100 lungs were dis
eased, out Of a total of 200. There were

says. "of removing the lymphatic glands
unless with some specific object and pre-
sumably in the case of the fifteen car
cases found without glands they had
been discovered. on inspection in the
United States, to shoY some evidence OF
disease"
Continuing. the doctor pointed out that
in the above consignment more than GO
cases of tongues, livers. pluCks, etc, bore
an official label, indicating that they had
been inspected and passed as sound in
the country of expectation.

ROOSEVELT WRITES OF THE YELLOW
JOURNAL AND MENDACIOUS EDITORS
JOHN {. BARNETT,

New York, March 1.-The first editor
isl article from the pen of former Pres
ident Roosevelt, which appears in a
March issue of the Outlook, deals with
the subject of Journalism" It says in
part:
Every owner. editor or reporter of
a conscientious newspaper is an asset
of real value to the community. We
have many newspapers, big and little.
of this kind. But we also have many
that are emphatically not of this kind.
During the last few years il has be-
come evident that certain newspapers
are controlled by men who have gained
wealth in evil fashion, who desired to
stifie honest public opinion and who find
an~instrument in the purchased men
dacity of those who edit and write for
such papers,
Mr.. Roosevelt then pays his respects
to the apostles of that hideOus yellow
journalism which deifies the cult of the
mendac.Ous, the sensational and the in
ane."
In conclusion he refers to another
type of temptation which has great fas-
cination for men of cultivation and
which is quite as fatal to the usefulness
as yellow journalism. He says OF
these:

John c. Barnett Strangled and Beaten to Death
in American House by Party of
HObOeS.
Suspect With BoodStaned Shoe and Hat Is Held and Country
Is Being Secured for the MuTdereFS.

For the sake of So, John c. Barnett,
aged 80 years, and a resident of Salt
Lake for the past ten years, was muir
deTed some time between midnight and
1 o'clock Thursday morning. The muir
der was committed in the American
House on Commercial street, and was
discovered about 12:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. 1t is supposed to have been
committed by gang of 'hoboes,"
three at least participating in the ac-
tual murder.
One of the gang, Hugh Myers, is now
confined in the city Jail under strong
suspicion, and the entire police depart
ment is securing the city for the others,
perfect descriptions of whom were OBJ
tanned. The police of surrounding cities
were also notified yesterday, and are
on the watch for two men especially,
joe" and the other by the name of
Mann.
The lifeless body of Barnett was
found on the floor in room az OF the
American House yesterday about 1890
O'Clock by chambeTmaid, whose
screams of fear and terror brought to
her side G. w. Beck, day clerk of the
rOoming house. Beck promptly nOti-
fed the police, who took charge Of the
body until the arrival of the coroner,
Stanley A. Hanks.
That Barnett was slain for the few
dollars he had in his possession seems
to be proved, and that he was slain by
tTamps who arrived in the city just d
few hours earlier seems to be equally
well established.

GOOD SIDEWALKS PROMISED
Complaining Residents Assured That
All Defective Work Will Be
Done Over Again.

The sidewalk extension covering some
fifty-two miles in the southeastern por-
ton of the city was under fire at the meet
ing of the council committees last even
ing A number of the residents of the
section where it is asserted poor cement
was used and bad work done appeared
before the engineering committee and stat
ed their grievances.
Michael O'Connor, superintendent for
James Kennedy. who has the contract for
the big extension, was also present and
admitted that some of the work was bad
and would be replaced. He told the COM
mittee and the protestants that he was
under bonds Of $4,000 for the proper COM
plettoD of the work and intended that
every bit of it that was unsatisfactory
should be relaid. He has already done
work amounting to over S21.00o, and of this
s. 900 worth has not been paid for The
property owners. he said, are protected
under his bond and ne agreed to take up
every piece of work that the city engi-
neer, the mayor or the city council might
find inferior and replace 1t with good
walk
The property owners present seemed
satisfied with this and the committee took
no action Mr.. O'Counor said that work
would be renewed on this extension by
April if the weather proved favorable.

Barnett appeared at the BombinO
saloon shortly before II o'clock We'd
nesdSy night and became engaged with
V. BOmbino in a friendly chat. Later
the two began shaking dice, the stakes
being the drinks for the two. Both
were losers several times, and when
Barnett on one occasion lost he threw
s. gold piece on the bar, receiving his
change, something ike $3.50 Just at
this time, while he was picking up the
change, two men, now identified as
Boston Joe" and Mann, entered and
forced themselves into the company.
GOOd-natuTedly Barnett accepted their
acquaintance and, during the banterinE
talk that followed. bought several
drinks. Tt was then suggested by one
of the men that all three go up to their
room upstairs, No. AZ of the American
House, where they could sit and talk,
and Barnett accepted willingly, show
ing his gOOdfellOwship by buying three
bottles of beer TO take to the room.
That was the last seen of Barnett
until he was found lying dead. When
he left the saloon with the two men to
go TO the room he had possibly about
s. on his person When found dead the
pockets Of his coat and trousers were
turned inside out and only nickel
was found in his vest pocket
Marred Beyond Recognition.
Judging from appearances, Barnett
had been struck by some Weighty in

PEARL NECKLACE
WORTH 100000
Greek From New York Arrested
in Omaha With Jewels in
His Possession.

Omaha. Neb., March 1.-The police
late this afternoon arrested a Greek
named John SAWS. who came here from
New York. in whose possession they
found a 100000 pearl necklace which
was lost near the Knickerbocker hotel
in that city Nov. 26. SAWS says he was
employed as aestreet cleaner and swept
up the jewels with a bunch OF refuse.
The Greek was arrested as the result
of the suspicious of Albert Edhelan. a
jeweler. To whom he tried to sell part of
the gems.
The necklace consists of a single
strand Of sixty-three pearls. carefully
matched and fastened with clasp set
with a diamond of unusual size.
The police had previously received
from the New York police department
the description Of the necklace which
was said to have disappeared from the
KnickerbOcker hotel in that city Nov.
26 last
Saws said he was employed by the
Knickerbocker hotel for thirteen
months as sidewalk man.
As he was sweeping the refuse from
the sidewalk, he said, he saw the neck
lace lying in the gutter with some rub
bish.
After going to his room that night,
he said, he examined the pearls more
closely and discovered a valuable dia-
mond set in the small clasp. He kept
the necklace in his trunk after that, lit
tie dreaming, he declares, its real worth.
He examined show windows for SINH
lar necklaces, hoping thereby to get an
idea of the value of the jewels, but
found they ranged from % cents to
thousands of dollars.
He said he thought the owner would
make known his loss. Not learning of
any loss of valuable pearls, he conclud-
ed the find was of comparatively small
consequence. Then he came west and
secured employment

SEWER DISTRICT IS FLOODED
Failure to Take Care of Flow Delays
Work on Lateral Ex-
tensions,

The streets committee of the council
had something to say last evening about
the work on sewer extensions 1S5, 1S2 and
lS9 following a resolution introduced in
the city council Monday evening directing
the board of works to order the contrac-
tor. James Kennedy, to rush the work. 1t
appeared informally during the evening
that the fault rests rather with the city
engineer than with the contractor, who
has been unable to do the work on account
of the way in which the inteTcepting sewer
is flooding the western portion of the city
The pumps at the new sewer have not
been working for week and the result is
that the water has backed up and is
drowning out the west side. Mr.. O'Connor
said that as soon as the water is out of
his way work will be begun on the sewer
extensions.
OF the sewer extensions which are being
delayed by the failure of the pumping
station to keep the water out of the way
some Loco feet of the eleven miles of
sewer have been laid.
