TALK IN CONGRESS
is NOT FRIENDLY
Message from the President
Is Expected Soon.

That the temper of the House-in fact
of Congressg eneraIIy-is far from friend
ly toward Russia, is strongly evidenced
by the tone and number of joint resolu-
tiOns which have been introduced in the
last two days calling for the abrogation
of the treaty of 1892 between the United
States and Russia as a result of the re-
fusaI by the latter to honor passports in
the possession of American Jews. The
question will come before the House
Committee on Foreign Anaffirs Monday,
when a hearing will be given on Mr.. Sui
Zer's joint resolution, calling for the
abrogatiOn of the treaty.
a number of bills of similar nature
also have been introduced in the Senate
and speedy action is expected from that
body.
President Taft will probably send a
message to Congress upon the Russian
Jewish passport question as soon as a
reply is received from the Russian gov
ernment by Curtis Guild American Am
bassador at St. Petersburg. upon the re-
quest of the United States for informa-
tiOn as to RusSia's present attitude upon
this question. Several days ago Secrs-
tary Knox instructed Ambassador Guild
to ascertain how far the Russian gov
ernment will go to settle the question
through diplomatic channels. and to
learn whether there is any way in which
Russia will meet the desires of American
Jews who are indignant over the attitude
of the Russian government in denying
them admission to their country. A pre-
liminary reply las been received from
Ambassador Guild, but a more complete
report is expected before any action will
be taken by the State Department or the
President. The fact that Russia has
not closed the case Immediately and
that the diplomatic correspondence is be-
ing continued is construed here as an en-
couraging sign.

Of Samuel Gompers, president of the

accordance with the principal commonly
accepted in the administration of crimi-
nal juriSprudeSce. That expectation has
not been disappointed in these cases. At
the same time the duty of the court in
fixing the penalties in these cases would
have been unperformed had it been
swayed, in any degree, by the hypotheti-
cal policy favored by Mr.. Steffens (who,
by the way, is a pSofessed anarchist).

Lesson for Offenders.
The lesson taught by these cases is
that the law must be vigorously enforced
against all Observation-Disclosures they be
rich or poor, high or low, capitalists or
laborers-and that only by obedience to
the law can society be maintained and
its blessings enjoyed"
Tonight the McNamaras are resting
quietly in their cells. They show no
nervousness nor are they unusually
downcaSt. Late tonight Sheriff Ham
NELL said that the men spent the after
noon as they usually did, apparently un-
mindful of any change in their condition.
From the time when they rose for break
fast until they went to bed, their calm
was unshaken. The sentencing itself
was carried out amid scenes of confusion.
Outside the hall of justice a great crowd
had gathered. The news that the prison.
ers were to be sentenced there went the
rounds in the mysterious way such It'd
ings travel and the street was blocked.
More police were called out and more
deputies, of whom scores of special men
were on hand, kept the crowd away from
the entrances to the jail and the court
room as far as possible. Thousands had
gathered about the building.

WLER In CHARGE
OF BOMB INQUIRY
Fully 500 Secret Service Men
to Assist in Work.

The Federal dynamiting inquiry has
been placed in charge of Oscar Lawler,
of Los Angeles. Cal, former Assistant
Attorney General, whose appointment
was announced Yesterday by Attorney
General Wickersham. Fully 500 Secret
Service men will be put on the case.
Mr. Lawler was formerly legal adviser
to Richard A. Ballfnger, former Secre-
tary of the Interior. Mr.. Lawler wrote
the famous memorandum which figured
in the Ballinger- Pinchot controversy,
which President Taft used as the basis
for a letter absolving Mr.. BallinSer
from all blame in connection with the
Cunningham coal claims in Alaska.
The appointment of Mr.. Lawler to
take charge of the dynamite inquiry in
dicateS that the inquiry will be pushed
vigorously. Heretofore the govern
ment has been proceeding cautiously in
the case, and, although considerable
evidence was placed before the officials
of the Department of Justice several
months ago, very little progress was
made The confessions of the McNa-
mara brothers. however. has cleared the
way for a more vigorous prosecution
of the Federal case.
Los Angeles. New York, Chicago, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Indian
apolis, and Seattle are to be the storm
centers of the nation wide attempt to end
dynamite cOnspiracies in the United
States.
VIII Vote Indictments.
Despite the start that United States At
tOrney Miller has had in the investiga-
tiOns. Los Angeles will be the center of
activities for the next three or four
days. 1t is intimated here that the first
indictments will come from Los Angeles.
They will De based on the documentary
evidence turned over to Prosecutor Law
Ter on the order of the Department OF
Justice. and on the complete confessions
which are known to have been already
made by both the McNamaras.
1t can he authOritatiVely stated that
the two brothers sentenced yesterday
have made confessions which in their
startling ramifications exceed anything
that the public has anticipated. This is
Corroborated by the fact that Secret
Service agents are speeding to all of the
large cities of the United States, and
that developments are promised in every
center that has known dynamite eX-
plosion within recent years.
The 500 Secret Service agents will work
simultaneously in all the big population
centers, and more will be appointed if
necessary to complete the work.
Also Sent to New York.

Tribble was away at the time and could
not believe the wolf had been killed In
such a manner until Mr.. Gillespie proved
his skill with the hatchet by throwing 1t
a number OF times and hitting a mark.
In early days Gillespie spent much time
with Indians and learned from them the
knack of throwing the tomahawk.
