GROUND WORK FOR IDEAL
CITY, SAYS MAYOR SE|DEL
MiIWaukee's Chief Executive
Makes Address to Ger
mans in Chicago

CHICAGO June 27.-Bullding the
ground work of an '1dealist socialist
city" was described by Mayor Emil
Seidel yesterday as the object of the
present Socialist administration of
Milwaukee. He addressed an audience
of 5000 German american singers at
Volksfest, in a local park, speaking
first in German and closing his address
in English.
The occasion was the open-air dem
onstration in connection with the fifth
annual convention and saengerfest of
the German American Singerbund of
the Northwestern States.
when we came into the city hall at
Milwaukee we found the administra-
tive machinery rickety and rusty and
absolutely useless for our purpose,
said the Socialist mayor. 1.-THE board
of public works was a three-headed
monster with tentacles reaching into
corporation and contractors offices in
all parts of the city.
"When we set about to kill the mon
ster the Republicans and Democrats
told us we could not do it. We said
nothing, but went ahead and killed it.
MANY are wondering if we have in
troduced Socialism in Milwaukee. 1
am frank to confess that we have not
and it probably will be a long time be-
fore we shall be able to do so. We are
building the ground work for an ideal
city for men and women to live in"

OF EMBEZZLER
TO MAKE GOOD SHORTAGE
Sperry Flour Company Slow in
Preferring Charges Against
a Trusted EmpIoye

OAKLAND, June 27.-Leland H. Bar
nard, cashier for the Sperry Flour COM
pany, who was arrested yesterday on a
charge of embezzling from that firm, is
still in the custody of the police. Bar
nard this morning admitted that his
peculations would amount to more than
100000. but he has become reticent in
explaining what he did with the money
further than to state that he had pur-
chased property In Oakland, Berkeley
and San Francisco, there being In
cluded in these purchases barber shop
and a restaurant.
The prisoner was visited by counsel
this morning, and later the police stat
ed that for the present no charge would
be made against him, 1t being believed
that an effort will be made by Bar
nard's family to straighten up his ac-
counts. Loyal Barnard, brother, told
Chief Petersen he would pledge the
support of his family to make good the
amount stolen by the young cashier.
Experts are at work on the books to
discover the full amount of the short
age.
THE firm for which worked" said
Barnard this morning to the police,
"never suspected me of anything wrong
until last week. They always trusted
me. but [ began falsifying my accounts
two years ago. Realizing that all was
discovered, | intended to kill myself,
but was dissuaded by my wife,"
CAPTAIN Petersen stated that the po-
lice would take no action in the case
until formally requested to do so by
the firm from which Barnard is alleged
to have stolen.

DENIES OPERATION is TO
BE PERFORMED ON T. r.
DR.. ChappeII Says That CoIonePS
Throat Trouble Is Trivial

NEW YORK, June 27.-Reports that
an operation is to be performed on the
throat of Theodore Roosevelt were de-
MED today by the secretary of DR..
Walter f. Chappell, who was said to
have made an engagement to attend
the colonel. DIR. Chappell was out of
town today and his secretary sa he
knew of no engagement having been
made for DR.. Chappells services by
Colonel Roosevelt. No information re-
garding the matter was obtained at
Oyster Bay, where it was said the
colonel had no visitors at Sycamore
Hill today nor were any expected.
The report was that the trouble had
been caused through Colonel Roose-
velt's long stay in Africa and that the
cause of his recent huskiness of voice
was a small growth in his throat.
Denial was made today by Walter
Frankl Chappell that he was to op-
crate on the throat of Colonel Roose-
velt DR.. Chappell said:
"A newspaper has stated that an
engagement has been made for me to
meet Theodore Roosevelt at the Man
haitian eye, ear and throat hospital
and there perform an operation on his
throat It is absurdly false. 1 have
not been in communication with Colo
mel Roosevelt since his return. From
other sources have heard the affec-
ton of his throat Is trivial"
The officials of the Manhattan hos
pital deny that any engagement has
been made there by Colonel Roosevelt

NEW YORK, June 27.-Two Chinese
are dead, a third badly wounded in
hospital and seven Orientals are
under arrest as the result of the re-
newal yesterday of hostilities in the
never-dying tong war in Chinatown.
Shu Foo, a Long Island laundryman,
was the first victim to succumb to the
wounds he received when a fusillade
of shots broke loose while the Four
Brothers, one of the parties to the
conflict, were celebrating an anniver-
sary in Pell street, and the On Leong
tong. their rival, sore over the murder
recently of one of it's members, was
gathered in Mott street, near by, and
is said to have raided the arriving
banqueters.
The second victim was Sen Jing, in
front of whose store, at Mott and Pell
streets, the heaviest shooting occurred.
Jing died early today. Chu Pam, the
third man to be struck by the flying
bullets, is expected to recover. He is
under guard in the hospital.
The outbreak was entirely uneX-
pected by the police. who rushed in
time to confine the trouble to the i'm
mediate locality. and believe that
among the men they grabbed during
the smelee they may be able to find
some of the participants. The two
dead men We're members of the Four
Brothers, and the recent killing of
Chong Fook Yuen is said to be con-
sidered by fellow tong members of the
dead man among the On Leongs to
have been adequately avenged.
Immediately after the shooting a big
force of police was thrown into China
town. and today the district is being
strongly guarded to prevent a renewal
of the warfare.

Judge Will Not Interfere with the
Deliberations Until Friday

CHICAGO, June 27.-Eighty hours
and no sign of verdict.
This is the story of the jury which
is considering the Browne bribery case
up to midnight tonight.
Judge McSurely opened his court this
morning, waited a while on the bench,
then closed up for the day. The judge
held himself in readiness, however, to
receive a verdict or give instructions,
but was not called on to do either
Not a word came from the jurors.
The twelve men already have estab-
lished a precedent here as endurance
jurors" They have held out many
more hours than the fifty-nine which
heretofore stood as the record in Cook
county.
Judge McSurely went to his home
at o'clock tonight and announced
he would not return to the courtroom
until tomorrow. He reiterated his
plan of yesterday not to interfere with
the jury until next Friday, and then
if he finds it is hopelessly divided he
will discharge it.
If, however, one, two ore three men
are baking the majority, he will send
them back for further deliberation.

Evidence Given Involves
congressman

WASHINGTON, July 27.-After three
months of hearings the house commit
tee to investigate charges rejecting on
members of congress in connection with
the ship subsidy legislation closed it's
Washington sessions today with an
unofficial announcement to counsel
that it had foud no corruption on the
part of any member of congress.
Two newspaper editors, j. A. O'Ma-
honey of Indianapolis and W. A. Shaw
editor of the Texas Farmer, testified
today that they believed there was a
lobby here, but neither produced any
definite details
Mr.. OMahoney said that while he
was a Washington correspondent over
a decade ago, he understood that one
Don M. Smith and "a man named
Gaddis," by whom counsel thought he
meant the late DR.. CLAWS. steamship
representative, had lobbied for the
foreign lines"
He told of "Gaddis" submitting a
story to Philadelphia correspondent,
long since dead, which the latter told
the steamship man was "too apparent"
TO use.
He had heard that ten men were on
the pay roll of what he called "the
steamship combine" but he could only
suggest these two names, and when
asked whom he meant by ''Venal sub
sidized newspapers" said newspapers
were subsidized by their advertise
ments.
The committee rebuked Editor Shaw
for his allegations that there were
steamship representatives in congress,
inasmuch as such a slander was, they
said, unsupported by any details what

Legislative Program

PEKIN, June 27.-An impartial de-
cree issued today refused the popular

diate convocation of a national par

The secretary will visit the new
transport dock at Fort Mason, going
from the dock to Angel island and Al
catraz and later to the Preside.
my visit to the Preside will be
more or less perfunctory," said the
secretary "as l will not have time to
make a close study of the fortihca-
tions and will have no recommended
tions to make concerning them"
When asked for an opinion regarding
the adequacy of the Pacific coast for
tifications the secretary said he had no

other subjects, including recent aer-
oplane flights and Zeppelin's latest
balloon trip
"If we had had aeroplanes at the
time of the Civil War the battle of
Gettysburg would never have oc-
Cured" he said. "They will prove in
valuable for scouting purposes, but
doubt their usefulness in dropping ex-
plosives. 1 do not believe that aim
could be taken with sufficient accuracy
to do any damage. l saw Hamilton
make a flight recently and ! have been
tremendously impressed with the pos
sibilities of development of the ma
chimes and their use in warfare"

Submit Statement After
Hearing Complaint
gcMURRAY PREPARES ANSWER
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The sem
ate committee created to investigate
legislation concerning Indian contracts
discussed the matter at considerable
length today and tried to frame its
plans, but made little headway.
The time and place of hearing and
the method Of procedure will be de-
termined later.
Senators Jones, Burton and Hughes
were the members present. the other
two members, Crawford and Percy,
having left the city.
The committee announced it would
act as promptly as circumstances
would permit and it would make a
thorough investigation within the
limits of the Hughes resolution. Ihe
scope of the investigation is limited
to whether any senator during his
term of office has been interested or
connected with legislation affecting the
approval of Indiai contracts or has
done anything because of such inter-
est and whether any improper at
tempts to prevent or procure the pas
sage of the bill affecting the approval
of Indian contracts have been made
at the session of congress just closed.
The committee also announced that
it appeared that Senator Gore of Okla
homa did not himself charge any SEN
ator with being interested in any of
these contracts, but simply stated that
this charge was made to him by an
other person.
The house committee created to in
vestigate the contract matter will not
meet in Washington, if at all, until
after its meeting in Oklahoma City
the first week in August.
]. F. McMurray of McAlester, Okla,
about whose contracts the whole incl
dent revolves, his probable fees being
estimated at from 100000 upward,
will submit a statement to the COM
mittee setting forth that he has done
nothing but what is legal and proper.
This statement will not be presented
until after Senator Gore formally sub
mits his contentious to the committee.

SOCIALISTS OPEN BIG
OREGON CONVENTION
Multitude Cheers as Tent City at
Klamath Falls Is IIIumi-
mated

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, June 27.-
Greeted with the blare of brass bands
and the cheering of multitudes, a
thousand red and white lights flashed
up last night, Illuminating the great
tent city. The big top" 100 by 200
feet, serving as an auditorium for the
great socialist gatherings, glowed like
a monstrous fire balloon half inflated,
with the many lights within
A loud hum of excited voices broke
the quiet of the night, while the i'm
mense crowd cheered the informal
opening of the encampment.
The fact that in the course of a few
weeks the Socialists of klamath Falls
raised a fund of $4,000 to meet the eX-
penses of the Oregon-California So
cialist encampment, served with other
circumstances to arouse general inter
est in the opening. Beside the thou
sand or more visitors brought in by
the encampment and the holding of
the circuit court, more than two-thirds
of the population of the city made
their way TO the encanpment ground
last night, swelling the crowd to near
ly 1000.
A spirit of general goodfellowship
prevailed and stranger talked with
stranger about the showing which was
made with the 500 tents and the big
top" Illuminated. and the list of
speakers engaged Tor ule' encdIl l1inell'
Thus it was that a banker of Kla-
math Falls said to a stranger:
81 don't hold with these Socialists
at all They may have some good
ideas, but they go too far don't you
think so? But they sure got this thing
up in good shape, I'll say that for
them" And he did not know he was
speaking to an organizer of the So
cialist party.
The main address Of the evening,
1.-THE Next Step in Democracy by
Edward Adams Cantrell, was well re-
ceived.
Mrs. Dorothy Johns, for many years
a resident of Mexico City, will deliver
the address tonight taking as her sub
ject Sovereign Poems"

DO NOT ENTER BREAD

nitrates in bleached flour are mostly
eliminated in the fermentation of the
dough in breadmaking, according to
testimony today in the bleached flour
case in the federal court here today
by George L. Teller of the Columbus
laboratory of Chicago.
DR.. Walter M. Cross, city chemist,
said that he never had condemned
water having no more than five parts
nitrates per million, and he certainly
would not condemn flour having only
one-eighth parts per million.

1000 ACRES OF GRAIN
DESTROYED BY FLAMES
Engine Spark Causes Heavy
Damage Near Stockton

STOCKTON, June 27.-Fire started
from sparks from an engine this after
noon ran through the big barley fields
of Union island, in the southwestern
section of San Joaquin county, and
burned more than 1000 acres of grain
that was expected to harvest from
forty to sixty bushels an acre.
A lucky turn in the wind changed
the run of the fire to the river bank
and stopped the destruction The losses
fell principally on renters on the Will
liams and Bixler lands, but they were
nearly all insured. The grain crops
of that section are very heavy, and
the farmers feared the flames would
run through the whole district.
