Appeal to Secretary OF State.
NEW YORK. June I1.--Friends of
Oscar Hammerstein In this city have
taken seriously the refusal OF the
Russian government to permit him to
enter that country and have appealed
to the secretary OF state to have him
use his good Offices to have the
Cxar's officials rescind their ruling.
There Is little chance OF this, how
ever. The requirements OF the Rus
sian government for admission to
that country are most severe and a
passport cannot be recognized unless
vised by the Russian consul at the
immediate point OF departure for the
Russian frontier. Early, last month
Oscar presented his passport at the
Russian consulate in London, but the
consul refused to 20. X" 1t.

Government Appoints Indian

LONDON. June 1.-THE influence of
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is believed
to-day by leading English politicians
to be partly responsible for the sp-
pointment of SIR Charles Hardinse.
permanent under secretary of state to
succeed the Earl of Mimic as viceroy OF
India.
II is argued that Col Roosevelts

In Egypt. decided the government to
adopt more repressive rule In india,
whore the growth of the nationalist
movement is one of the most serious
problems now confronting the govern
ment.
Hardinge Is recognized as an advo-
cate of force and will undoubtedly
adopt a policy far different from that
followed by Lord Mimic and other re-
cent viceroyS of India.
1t Is believed too. that Lord kitche-
ner favored the appointment of Har-
dinge for this reason. Hardinge pos
sesses tremendous influence in goyern-i

opposition In his iron-hand rule. 1t Is
believed he mas sufficient strength TO

directed against Sheriff Owens of
Nye county, asking for the release
of the four strike breakers who

fore Judge Averill late yesterday
afternoon and he granted the re-
lease of the men under bonds
amounting to 5000 each A mo-
ton was made that the bonds be
refunded but this was denied as
the sum was required to cover the
costs in the case. The appeal be-

SMITH PAID
HIS fine and
WAS RELEASED
STRIKE BREAKER WHO TRIED
TO EMULATE A BAD MAN
is NOW FREE.

L. Smith, who was found guilty
twice in the justice court on a
charge of carrying concealed wea-
pons, who with four other strike
breakers appealed to the district
court, yesterday paid a fine of SIS
and costs and is now free man.
The case has been in the courts
for nearly a month, the attorneys
taking every possible action that
would effect a release for their
client. After the appeal had been
filed a motion was made that it be
dismissed and that the defendant
be freed from the charge.
The ruling of the court yester-
day upon the first ground of mo-
ton, that the judgment in the JUS
tice court was void because both
fine and Imprisonment had been
imposed, was to the effect that the
sentence was not wholly void. The
other ground was then dismissed
The Southern case, and there were
few others, admit the right of the
defendant to dismiss his appeal
provided he makes the request him
self, for the reason that his at
torney cannot offer himself in salts
faction of the judgment; that is
that only the defendant himself car
respond thereto. They hold, how
ever, that it is altogether unrea
sonable, that a defendant can ap
peal to a higher court and thereb.
divert the lower court of jurisdic
ton; and then dismiss his appea
and thus divert the upper court o
its authority, for which reason TIL
defendant is required to offer him
self UP in response to the judg
ment of the lower court before
dismissal of the appeal can be con
sidered. Following this ruling tn
defendant was asked how he intend
ed to abide by the judgment of tn
justice court. After a short con
ference with his attorneys present
Messrs. Danforth and Smith, of tn
firm of Campbell, Metson an
Brown, he answered that he de
sired to pay the fine. The cou!
ordered the fine of SIS and cost
amounting to $2S to be taken frol

Mr.. Danforth then moved his di:
charge from custody on the groun

was void, and this motion wa

apparently well pleased to get o
so easily. He returned in the af
ernoon and asked for the return {
