GERMAN UNREST

SUPPRESSION OF RIOTS IN BER-
 LIN STREETS.
American Correspondents Among
 Those Who Suffer. O..

Berlin, Sept 2S.-"Suppress dis turbances without mercy" were Po- lice Commissioner Won Jagow's orders today to the police.
 They followed the instructions to the letter They rode down and sabred mercilessly wherever a small group of people gathered in tn Moa- bit district. For two days this dis trict had been the scene of grave riots. Hundreds of persons have been injured and pitched battles between the strikers and their smypathiZers and the police have occurred.
 As a result of the severe oppressive measures, scores of persons, some of them mere passersby. were bruised or wounded during the evening.
 The correspondents of Reuters Tele gram company, the New York Times, the New York World and the New York Sun were among the victims while watching the progress of events from motor cars. The police swooped down upon them with drawn sabres and apparently without provocation. The Reuter- representative was wounded severely in both hands while the other correspondents were badly bruised. They were saved from fur thr injury by dashing at full speed to the nearest first aid" station where their wounds were bandaged.
 In accordance with orders strict police cordOns were maintained The strikers and their sympathizers held meeting on street corners which, in several instances, caused blood shed. The police charged furiously and beat down the workmen or ev- cry side. In this way they rode through Emdenerstrasse and Turm- strasse, which were blocked with ax- cited crowds. Traces of police charges were left in the dozens of persons lying severely wounded on both sidewalks

KIND OF CONSERVATION
 THE MINERS DEMAND
Use of the Resources Without Waste
 and Without Restriction.

Los Angeles. Sept. 2S.-Members of the American Mining Congress are for the conservation of the natural resources, a conservation that will eliminate waste. But they are op- posed to the Pinchot ideals.
 This sumarizes the sentiments of an apparent majority of the dele gates on the eve of the report of the committee on resolutions and pres ages the rejection of the former chief forester's theories when that com mittee submits it's report on censer vation tomorrow
 The committee is at work tonight on the mass of anti-conservation res olutions so far introduced. The in ention is to report a composite sub stitute embodying the anti-waste idea of conservation, and with it the es sentials of the resolutions which de- nounce the land withdrawal law as socialistic, demanding the free and unrestricted entry of American citi- zens upon mineral bearing lands, as opposed to the proposition of estab- fishing a leasing or royalty system.
 The composite resolution opposing policies will in all probability go through but not unanimously.

No Man To Head Fight In
 Empire Stale ONE LIKELY CANDIDATE
Who Has the Faint of the Sugar Trust on Him-A Flock of Other Aspirants From Which a Choice May Be Made Today.

Rochester, N Y, Sept 2S.-The man who will head the democratic state ticket this year had not been chosen when the leaders concluded their conferences tonight. But Chair man Dix. of the state committee, who last week gave an official impetus to the Gaynor boom declaring that the upstate sentiment tended strongly in that direction, said before he went to bed that he had found among the delegates, 'an undercurrent of feeling" toward Edward M. Shep- ard.
 After mentioning Shepard's name, the state chairman was asked what was his attitude on certain published criticisms of Shepard's alleged con nection with the American Sugar Re lining company, in an advisory legal capacity.
 "I have heard criticism" replied Dix. Out has it occurred to you that StimsOn. himself is not invul- nerable in that same spot? He served in the office of Senator Root when the Metropolitan Street rail way charter was drafted"
 From Shepard's headquarters came the statement that Shepard had nothing to do with drawing the sugar trust deed. The statement said that the sugar company was incorporated in 1891 in New Jersey by Mir. Par sons. in aon5unctio.l wFth Elihu Root who wasp then the partner of the present republican candidate for gov ernor, MT. Stimson, who acted with Parsons as associate counsel MT. Shepard's partnership with Parsons was dissolved eight years ago. in 1902"
 Much pressure has been brought to bear on Dix himself to consider the nomination for governor, but he has declined.
 Murphy reiterated tonight that he had no candidate in sight.
 This is a democratic year." he said, "and it would be a mistake to spoil it with pushing personal pre- ferences."
 We have no candidates" he con tinued There is no candidate in sight to command the situation. Af- ter the convention is seated tomorrow I hope to see various leaders and out of that list a name I can present to the convention"
 The democratic league met last night in the ball room of the Seneca hotel and put itself on record in fla vor Of the wisest type of direct nom nations
 James S.. Havens annd Herman Ridder remain strong probabilities for the gubernatorial nomination while the boom of Martin H. Glynn of Albany, sprang into activity to- night when the hotel corridors were crowded with literature describing their qualifications for office.

II IS NO WONDER
 RAWN WAS SHOT
HIS PART IN ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 CAR REPAIR FRAUDS.
The Testimony of Former Head of
 Osterman Plant.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Henry c. Oster- man, former president of the Oster- man Manufacturing company, who is said to have been a big factor in the Illinois Central repair frauds, related a sensational story of the inside workings of his concern before Mu- nicipal Judge Bruggemeyer today.
 The late Ira G. Rawn, former presi- dent of the MOnon route, who was mysteriously shot to death at his summer home last July, was named by Osterman as one of the chief fig ures in the alleged graft ring.
 Osterman declared that Rawn when vice president of the Illinois Central was given 1,500 shares of stock in the Osterman Manufacturing company and that this was increased to 2,700 shares. He said that Rawn sold this stock 10 the Osterman plant at par, or s5 a share.
 After he had sold back the stock for $13,5OO, the witness testified, Rawn demanded and got, first s5, then S10 and finally $15 for each car repaired or alleged to have been repaired at the Osterman plant.
 Osterman testified that he person. ally made one payment of $10,500 to Rawn, which, he said, was for 700 cars upon which the concern had col lected repair bills. In addition to the payment per car to Rawn, said Oster- man, a fixed monthly sum was paid certain officials. A ? per cent per month dividend was paid on large blocks of Osterman Manufacturing company stock held by Illinois Gen. tral officers.
