Steel Trust Magnate, Testifyine Before
Inquiry, Announces Belief that New

Washington.-Judge E. H. Gary, chair
man of the executive committee of the
United States Steel corporation, stated
to the Stanley investigating committee of
the house that he considered it very i'm
portant that the people should be pro-

view, and that the railroads objected to
it for a long time. But whether the

ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS.

ashington.-During the last session
of Congress. bills were introduced in the
Senate and House to regulate the con-
struction and operation of elevators in
the District of Columbia. The intent of
the bills was to prevent the elevator
cars from being moved in either direc-
ton while any gate or door used for en-
trance or exit is unclosed. There are
automatic devices which place the power
of starting the elevator beyond the con-
troll OF the operator while the gate or
door is open. Official reports state that
there is a record of over 5000 killed and
injured each year in accidents of this
character. but that SO far it has been i'm

TRADE UNION FUNDS.
Bill Introduced in English Parliament
LegaIizing Expenditure for Par
iamentary Purposes.

Washington-The bill introduced in
the English parliament to amend the law
with respect to the objects and powers
of trade unions contains the following
points: 1t is provided that wherever a
member files notice against paying his
proportion of the levies made in the fur
therance of political objects, even though
it has been approved by majority of the
trade union to which he belongs, he is to
be relieved of his proportionate payment
of the same. Should there be no levies
and the money taken out of the general
fund of the organization, he is to be re-
bated his pro rata share when it comes
to settlement for his dues. Another
condition is that the member who files
notice of refusal to contribute to the po-
litical fund of the union shall not be ex-
cluded from any benefits of the union or
placed in any respect at any disadvant-
age as compared with other members of
a union, except, of course in relation to
the control or management of the polit-
ical fund by reason of his being so ex-
empt, and that contribution to the polit-
ical fund of the union shall not be made
condition for admission to the union.
Some objection has been offered by Of
ficials of the organizations of England to
this procedure, but it is not thought that
any serious objections will be raised
Any Individual or any number of indi
viduals, refusing TO assist in a general
way, the entire organization must of ne
cessity be held in an unfavorable light
This being the case, it is assumed that
very few members of the English trade
unions will refuse to contribute their
proportionate share of the expenses in.

LUNATIC TRIES TO
KILL BRAND AND
WOUNDS ANOTHER
to Police and Was Form
erly In an Asylum for
the Insane.

Paris, Jan. 1S.-The chamber of dep-
dties was thrown into a panic today py
an attempt on the life of Premier Brt-
and. Two revolver shots Were hred ac
the ministerial bench from the public,
gallery, but the premier was unframed.
One of the bullets entered the leg on
Leon Mirman, director OF h departs
ment OF public assistance In the mill
istry Of the interior. The wound Is not
q serious one
The as~sailant Is a nan OF the name
of Gisolme, who was formerly a clerk
Of the courts of Bayonne. He was
bounced upon by police officers before
he could use his weapon again ana
was hurried from the place. Nj. Br1-
and was quickly surrounded by frienos
and heartily congratulated on his eS-
oape from death. Only the poor marks-
manship OF Gisolme saved him from
death or injury.
Gisolme first attracted the attention
OF those seated near him when he
arose from a seat near the center OF
the balcony n pushed forward quick
ly to the railing. Suddenly he whipped
a revolver from his pocket and airnedl
the weapon first In the general direc-
ton of the ministerial bench and then
deliberately upon vi. BRAND n fircd.
First Bullet in Woodwork.
The first bullet. it is thought, en-
bedded itself In the woodwork near
the premier's seat. The report had
scarcely died away when the second
hot was fired. 1t Is believed this is
the one that struck M. Mirman. jules
RaziInbaud, the radical socialist dep-E
uty, was making a speech when the
first shot rang out. Many OF the dep
uties laughed, thinking the explosion
was a joke. but the second report
changed their mirth 70
Mirman, sitting beside Premier
BRAND, was seen to topple over. ex-
claiming as he felf: Il am shot
Cries OF Coward Coward!" filed
the chamber as the spectators seized
the assailant, who was attempting to-
make his escape.
Formerly in Asylum
Gisoime is we'll known TO the police
having been but recently liberated
from an insane asylum in which he
had been incarcerated following an
unsuccessful attempt which he mad on
the life OF the British consul IN ST.
Sebastian.
He was removed from the courts OF
Rayenne some time aso On tho ground
that he was insane. He resented his
discharge bitterly and is thought I o
have held M. BRAND responsible as tina
premier was the minister or justice
at the time.
A number OF spectators who saw,
Gisolme deliberately aiming his re-
volver a second time rushed behind
the columns Of the balcony for safety.
Amid the uproad President Brisson
declared the session adjourned and or
dered that the hall be vacated.
As Gisolme was led through the
corridor by guards several deputies
rushed on the prisoner and struck HIM
Other members surrounded the mar
and protected him from further vi0S
lence.
Following his arrest Gisolme declared
he wished to kill BRAND. He said ha
hated ali deputies anu WAS sorrv thaN
some or them had not been wounded
by his shots.
An examination of Gisolme later con-
WINGED the authorities that he was q
mailman.

'The late Senator Dolliver,' said a

his success TO his thorough understands
ing OF the American character.
"He understood the American people,
and he admired and sympathized with
them. I'll never forget an after-dinner
speech OF his on equality.
HE said that in America we understood
by equality not that we were all equals In
learning, in intellect and so forth, but that
We were all equals in the power to be good
and honorable and generous.
And he told, by way Of illustration. how
a Fort Dodge church once gave a charity
concert where the best talent volunteered

and actors.
"At the end of the concert the chairman
went up to the organ loft and said to the
little boy in patched clothes who had
blown the organ:
well, Freddie. what do we owe you
for your work this EVENING"

JAPANESE COURTS
CONDEMN FOES OF
MIKADO TO DEATH
What Is Said to Be Wholesale
Conspiracy to Murder Is to
Have Most Bloody Gull
mination.

Toxic, Jan. I'D. Kotoku, his wife,
and % fellow anarchists were today
sentenced to death for having con-
spired against the life of the emperor
and other members of the royal fam
lily. Two other men similarly accused
were released.
Kotoku, who was formerly connect
ed with a Toxic newspaper. and at
ono time lived in San Francisco, where
he Is said to ave been associated with
a political organization, was the al
legged leader OF the plot discovered last
September.
All OF the prisoners were first ar
raigned before q special court, the
duties of which are similar to those
Of a grand jury in America. On No
vember 8, this court announced the
prisoners had been found guilty and
recommended they be punished under
clause 73 of the criminal statutes.
which provides capital punishment for
p~lotters against the imperial family.
One Woman to Die.
The wife of Kotoku was the only
woman in the band. The trial proper
opened in the supreme court on De-
cember 10. The public vas excluded
on the ground that the publicity IN
connection with the proceedings might
be preJudicial to the peace and the
maintenance of public morals.
Kotoku and his associates were ar
rested last fall following the discov-
cry by the police of an alleged plot to
assassinate the emperor. The facts OF
he arrest were kept secret until Sep
TENDER 81. when they were announced
by the Hochi Shimbun. The publication
caused a sensation. as it was the first
time in the history of the empire that
a conspiracy against his majesty had
been discovered among his subjects.
According to the paper, the assassins
planned to accomplish their end while
the emperor was visiting the military
school just outside the capital.
Story First Denied.
Two days later the Japanese govern
ment issued an official and positive de-
NAL Of the Hochi Shimbun's statement
that the prisoners were accused Of
plotting to assassinate the emperor.
The police explained hat q number Of
anarchists had been arrested on sus-
picion OF having been engaged in the
manufacture of bombs.
Nevertheless the special court was
soon organized and examined the pris-
oners on the allegations upon which
they were subsequently convicted and
sentenced.
