TAFT IGNORANT OF R.. R.
CONDITIONS, IS CHARGE
Head of Publicity Bureau Says
President Is Unjust

CHICAGO, June 1.-Speaking on be-
half of railroad management, Slason
Thompson, head of the railways pub
licity bureau here, expressed the opih-
ion that President Taft had not care
fully studied the railroad problem be-
fore deciding to act against their pro-
posed raise in rates.
Surely the president has not under
stood the history of the railroad bust
ness during the last ten years." said
Mr. Thompson 80 far as l am aware
the purpose of the present proceeding
is the most remarkable in the history
of the country. Never before, so far
as I can remember. has the government
of the United States departed so wide
" and so radically from the functions
laid down for it as to say that the
seller of a commodity or service,
thou shalt not sell thy goods or thy
service at any price but one that
pleases me-
1T seems that President Taft and
Senator LaFollette have been in a
race as to which would get to the rail-
roads first and that the president has
beaten him to it. 1t was the most
startling innovation on record and un-
inst and unWiSe."

Before Large Audience

POMONA, June Hiram Johnson,
candidate for the Lincoln-R Roosevelt

a hearty welcome by citizens of Po-

Mr.. Johnson, accompanied by VIII
liam D. stephens of Los Angeles can
didate for congress from this district,
and Florence j. O'Brien, candidate for
secretary of state, arrived here in au-
tomobiles late this afternoon. They
We're met by a committee of local ctti-
zers, and a parade was formed which
traVersed the principal streets of the
city.
In bis speech Mr.. Johnson's princi-
pal point was the question whether
the people of California should take
back the government of the state from
the Southern Parific machine, where
it has so long remained, a mere chat
tel for the use of this great corpora
tion.
Both Mr. Stephens and Mr.. O'Brlen
made short addresses and they, too,
received the approval of the audience.
c. J. Dreher, secretary Of the San An
tonic fruit exchange, acted as chair

PASS POSTAL BANK BILL
. c. P. SLOGAN IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Repub-
licans of the house went squarely on
record tonight for the prompt passage
of the postal savings bank bill, which
is part of President Taft's legislative
program.
The bill finally was agreed on at a
four-hours' caucus. lasting until mid
night, at which the following resolu-
tion, submitted by Mr.. Tawney of Min
nesotd, was adopted:
Resolved, that the postal savings
bank bill, agreed on by this caucus, be,
and the same is hereby adopted. that
the same be reported by the committee
on postoffices and post roads, and that
it is the sense of this caucus that a
rule be reported from the committee
on rules for its consideration in the
house."
The caucus was largely attended and
the only bolt was by Mr. Southwick of
New York, who vehemently denounced
the bill as radically Socialistic and
withdrew, declaring his intention to
fight it on the floor of the house.
The caucus fixed at 90 per cent the
amount of the funds placed in the
postal savings bank that must remain
on deposit in banks in each state and
territory, and 80 per cent of funds that
the trustees NAV withdraw for invest
ment in United States bonds. The
other per cent must remain on de-
pOsit in the postal banks.

2s SENTENCED To DIE
FOR MURDER IN RUSSIA
Eight Women Escape Hanging
and Will Be Imprisoned
for Life

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-Penal-
ties of death or life Imprisonment have
been meted out to the men and women
members of the youthful band that for
eighteen months during 19071908 COM
mitted a series of murders and rob-
berries that kept the residents of
considerable territory in state of
terror.
Twenty-Five men ranging in age
from 18 to 20 were sentenced to death.
Eight women escaped hanging because
of their sex, but were sentenced to
Imprisonment for life. A 15-year-old
boy who was shown to have been an
active outlaw was sent to the colony
for juvenile offenders.
The most sensational feat of this
band was accomplished August 23
1907 when they held up train on the
coast railroad and robbed the cashier
of the Sestraetska Imperial Arms fac
tory of $4,000. Colonel Sudeikin, who
sat near the cashier, was fatally shot.
Many factories and wine shops were
looted, and among those who suffered
death at the hands Of the desperadoes
We're "a student, a woman and several
policemen.
The condemned showed great bra
vado during their trials and jested as
their sentences were pronounced.

DEFEATED MADRIZ FORCES
ARE IN FULL RETREAT
Uncle Sam Warns Against Seiz-
ure of American Ships

WASHINGTON, June IA dispatch
received today at the state department
from Capt. Gilmer, commanding the
gunboat Paducah at Bluefields, stated
that General Lara had been defeated
by the Estrada forces and was in full
retreat with the remnant of his army,
numbering about 300 men.
With the exception of these 300 men,
the only forces Madriz has on the east
coast, as understood here, is a detach-
ment on Bluefields bluff, six miles east
Of BluefleldS city, and a force esti-
mated at not exceeding 1000 men, fac.
ing General Mena, the Estrada COM
mander, at Rama. 1t is pointed out
that General Estrada with his vic
torious army, without hindrance, could
go to the Rama and, joining forces
with Mena, readily disperse the Madriz
army in front of that city.
Captain Gilmer has advised the navy
department that the Dubuque, which
yesterday landed force of marines at
Bluefields, had returned to Colon for
coal and provisions. The department
has directed that the Vicksburg go to
CorintO, on the west coast Of Near
aqua, and there relieve the Princeton,
which has been ordered to Puget
sound.
The state department has instructed
Captain Gilmer, in charge of the Amer
lean forces in Central American waters,
to notify both factions in Nicaragua
and shipping interests that this gov
emment denies the right Of either fac
tion to seize American owned vessels
or property without consent of and
rccompense to the owners

victed Weighers, TeSti-
mOny Shows

NEW YORK, June 1.-That the late
H. O. Havemeyer, former president of
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, gave directions two weeks be-

Iner cashier of the refinery and

Take care of those boys; get coun-
sci for them; see them through 1t,
were the orders Gerbracht said he re-
ceiVed from Havemeyer when he in
formed him after the first arrest OF
checkers that the men insisted on
their innocence.
''rake care of the boys" Gerbracht
later testified, had extended to the
paying of their wages from the day
they left the com pdny'a service until
the present time. The salary of oliver
Splitter. former dock superintendent
who was pardoned from the Atlanta
prison by President Taft Gerbracht
said was paid to Mrs. Splitter while
her husband was in prison. and he be-
lieved she was still getting it. Splitter
when on the stand for the prosecution
testified that his salary ceased when
he was locked up.
Gerbracht was the chief witness
today in his own defense. Theodore
Havemeyer. he said, had absolute
charge of the refinery until his death
i'm 1887, and H. O. HaVemeyer later
personally directed all the routine.

she is being held illegally and in viola

the accessory does not exist as the wife
of a principal in ii crime. The motion
will be argued tomorrow.

no idea as to her husbands where
