KILLING PERSIANS

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. l9.-One Of
the newspapers OF this city has a tele-
gram from Tehersn saying that by
order of the Russian consul at Resht
four Persian constitutional leaders in.
Guiding a mollah, had been executed
there. 1t thus appears that Russian
activity in northern Persia has reach
ed another phases. Hitherto Persian
patriots have been executed only by
order of Russian generals and military
tribunals, but now 1t seems that the
Russian consuls are assuming auto
cratic power over the lives and prop
erty Of Persians active in politics.

JACOB RIIS CONSIDERS DRAGON
OF GREED THE NATIONS PERIL

CHICAGO February 22.-Greed OF
Americans in their wild desire to pile
up gold is a presentday parallel OF
the dragon of disloyalty and jealousy
that refused supplies to the army Of
George Washington at Valley Forge,
the same that called Lincoln a clown
and a canker, Grover Cleveland a wife
beater and Theodore Roosevelt a
drunkard, according to Jacob A. Riis,
author and sociologist, who delivered
a stirring address in the Auditorium
theater this afternoon. The address
was the feature of the afternoon meet
ing in commemoration of the 180th an
niversary of the birth of George
Washington, the father of his coun-
try" under the direction of the Union
League Club.
Riis' denunciation of the desire to
amass wealth was bitter. He termed
1t "a dragon of disloyalty that plots
murder and bloodshed," and declared
that ut wages civil war with the
weapons of the midnight assassin
with torch and dynamite, to avenge
industrial wrongs" He insisted that
it proclaimed worldwide peace as its
principle and practiced murder at
home" The speaker was introduced
by Alexander A. Mccormick, who pre-
sided at the afternoon meeting.
Sees Peril from Within.
THE union stands strong against
outside assault since it received it's
baptism of blood under Lincoln" said
Mr.. Riis. Unless we ourselves sur
render our right to be the only arbi-
tors Of its fortunes, it is safe against
foreign foes. No one will attack us.
But from within there has come
peril against which it behooves us to
make a solid and united front Each
day has its task, each day its prob.
lems to solve. The world is advanc-
ing; it does not stand still. Washing
ton and Lincoln in their day met the
issues that demanded to be dealt with
the problems crowding for solution
and because they dealt with them
wisely and firmly, as American pa
triots, we are today prosperous and, I
was going to say, safe. But we are
not safe if we delude ourselves with
the vain hope that all is done, that the
last word has been said"
Democracy is a process of educa-
ton that is never finished" he went
on. "The fathers of the republic laid
down the lines.

which it strongly resembles in looks
as it is dipped up with the fingers.
The other dishes were fish and suck
ling pig cooked in Hawaiian fashion,
pineapple and pineapple juice. The
more daring guests sampled the kawa,
which plays such an important part in
the action Of the play, and which had
the taste of mild furniture polish, and
in small doses had no exhi'arating or
other effect. Every one ate sitting on
the floor, without the aid of knives,
forks or plates, the place of those ne
cessities being supplied by artificial
leis, or garlands, which were placed
about the necks Of the guests by the
naive girls,
The general impression seemed to
be that as a press agent novelty it
was interesting, but that as a steady
diet for Americans the Hawaiian
feast would not be entirely satisfac-
tory.
The correspondent only repeats a
stale untruth when he talks of canni-
balism in these islands.

High Cost Of Living.

NEW YORK, June 3.-It costs more
to live in this, the month of June, 1912,
than ever before in the history of the
United States except, perhaps, in war
time. Prices are nearly 10 per cent
higher today than q year ago, accord
ing to trade authorities. Food pro-
ducts are the highest on record. Meat,
eggs, butter, fish, potatoes, coffee, tea,
sugar, salt, molasses, rice, beans and
peas average % per cent higher; wheat,
corn. oats, barley, -four, etc., 33 per
cent higher.
The biggest advances have been in
meat prices; beef 26 per cent; hog pro-
ducts, 40 per cent and mutton over 50
per cent. Dealers lay the increase to
last years hay crop, which was poor
and the general high cost OF proven

After Fake Land Companies.

CHICAGO, May 30.-F. H. Newell, di.
rector of the reclaim alton service. has
summored representatives of western
railroads, state land commissioners
and reclaim alton agents to meet here
tomorrow to take up the question OF
"blue sky" land investments. 1t ia
said the federal government is con.
sideripg a movement for their cup
preston.
The prime purpose is to build up the
'new west" Because better induce.
ments are offered in western Canada,
without actual conditions being better,
the government is said to have recog.
nized that something must be done to
stop the removal of approximately 100.
600 families year from the United
States. The continued exposure OF
'fake land companies which it is
claimed have mulcted Investors out OF
large Gums by inducing them to buy
land which Ia worthless or to which
they had no more title than q claim
on the blue sky, is blamed for the
large emigration to Canada. From
this is taken the nickname of the law
which Kansas passed to outlaw such
concerns.

WAsH1NGTON, June 2.-Congress is
about ready to Investigate another
"trust" and In consequence some of
the big men In the packing industry,
who were recently acquitted in Grim
inal proceedings in Chicago, probably
will be summoned to Washington to

meats has gone up. After q confer
ence today between Representative
Henry of Texas, chairman of the house
rules committee and Representative
Clayton of Alabama, chairman of the
judiciary committee, joint statement
was made indicating that such an in

Roosevelt Forces Organize.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 1.-The
Roosevelt line of battle for the repub-
lican national convention was formed
today. AT "a council of war" on
Sycamore hill, which lasted most OF
the day, there was mapped out q
campaign, which 1t is hoped will re-
suit on the capture of the convention.
The first step is to be the organiza-
tion of the Roosevelt forces through.
out the country. 1t is planned to send
to Chicago a week or so in advance
of the convention an executive com.
mtttee from every state in which
Roosevelt delegates have been elected,
or in which there is a contest. BY
this method it Is expected to mobilize
and drill an org ganiz alton that will act
as 9 unit.
As part of this plan, the Roose-
velt delegates In every part of the
country will be canvassed as to their
views on the temporary ch manship,
that harmonious agreement may be
reached. Although Roosevelt had
decided to oppose the selection OF
Sen ator Root and had asked Governor
Hadley of Missouri to be his candi-
date for the place, he indicated today
that he would waive his objection II it
seemed wiser to his supporters to re.
serve their fire for the more important
contests.
Whether Colonel Roosevelt will 20
to Chicago to lead the fight is now an
open question. The colonel virtu ally
served notice on his opponents that
under certain conditions he might go.
He said he did not intend to go "un-
less some grave emergency in the
shape of unf air play should arise"

With smile and q wave of his hand

Philip O. Parmalee, one of the Wright

q gusty west wind this afternoon.
Three minutes later his broken and
lifeless body was dragged from be-
meath the wreckage of his biplane in
an apple orchard in the lower end OF
the Mckee valley, two miles from his

the disaster that plunged him to death
probably will never be known.

THREE-YEAR HOMESTEADS
Bill Passed BY Congress and Ready
For Presidents Approval.

WASHINGTON, June Without q
word of debate, without q dissenting
vote, the house OF representatives this
afternoon agreed to the conference re-
port on the Borah-Jones three-year
homestead bill and it was signed by
Speaker Champ Clark. AS soon as it
is signed by the vice president it will
60 to the White House for President
Taft's approval and the general ex-
pecta,ion is that the bill will become q
law before the end of next week. 1t is
customary for the president to refer
all public land bills to the secretary
of interior before signing, and this
course probably will be taken with the
three.year bill.
The action of the house today was
accomplished ed without any friction j,
those in charge of the bill waiting un.
til it's opponents were out of the hall
before calling it up. Five minutes
after the conference report was read
it had been approved by the house
without roll call. Half an hour
later come who intended opposing
adoption of the conference report re-
turned, to find it was too late.
If this session of congress lasts long
enough Senator Borah will endeavor
to get through the house his co.rel att We
bill, directing the patenting of home
steads on government irrig alton prof.
ects as soon as enterymen comply with
the homestead law. This bill has
passed the senate, but has not been
reported by the house committee. If
enacted, homesteaders on government
projects can get patent in three years
instead OF waiting 10 years, as is at
present required.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The bureau
of m manufactures has received advices
that the Australian wool crop was
consider ably larger the past season
than the year previous. An increase
in the Victorian crop alone of more
than 5000, 900 pounds, with an average
increased fleece of 1928 pounds as CON-
pared with 600 pounds, gives a fair
idea of the greater production. Ad-
vices from Melbourne show that ex-
ports of wool from July l, 1911, to
April 8, 1912, increased 42,0OO bales
over the previous season.
