Chicago, July 17.-Progressive Re
publicans of Illinois who viii support
Col. Roosevelt for the presidency, to-
day voiced the opinion that there
would be no new party in the field for

on the action of the conference held
here yesterday in refusing to incop-
porate in the call for the state con-
vention provision for state tick

This action was INN ediately fol-
lowed by the withdrawal of Charles
E. Merriam, former Republican may
orally candidate of Chicago-and
four other district representatives
who had been fighting for new party

DETERMINED TO- BEAT LAW

London, July Undetermined to
beat the new workman's insurance
law somehow. big British employers
held a conference on ways and means
today. The law provides for the pay
ment of part of the premiums by the
state, part by the employers and part
by the employees. The employers cam
not escape taxation for the states
share but it is understood they are
talking of a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES wag-
es to the amount Of their own contrl-
buttons. Then the workmen's atten-
ton will be called to the fact that
they are paying for their own lnsur-
ance. Chancellor of the Exchequer
Lloyd Georges open declaration OF
what the employers have long sus-
pected that workmen's insurance is
only a step in vastly larger program
of social change, has alarmed some oil
them greatly and they are desperately
anxious to upset his plans before he
makes any further progress. Leaders
of the movement think they will have
their best opportunity during the first
six months of the new laws operat-
ions, since the period will be one OF
pavment. for the insurance while
nothing will be paid back to them in
return.
1t is agreed that the proposed wage
reduction will precipitate violent labor
troubles, but the more trouble there is
so long as they can lay it to the work
mems insurance law, the better the
measures opponents will be pleas
ed.

JAPANESE FURIOUS.

Chefoo, July 16.-The Japanese
government is furious at the collapse
of the case it was trying to make out
against the American missionaries in
Korea, according to information from
Toxic today. The officials who pre-
pared it are disgraced and their ca
reers ruined.
From many of the 1913 Koreans on
trial at Seoul, charged with completely
ir plot to assassinate Japanese, Gov
Gen. Count Terauchi and regain Ko-
rea's independence, the police had ex-
torted confessions that the mission
aries sympathized with and aided the
conspiracy. But officialdom made the
trial hoping to convince the world that
everything was fair and above board.
AS soon as they came into open
count, counting on the strength of
foreign public opinion to save them
from Japanese vengeance, the prison.
ers uniformely repudiated these con-
fessions, declaring they made them
under torture or threat of torture.
The result has been not only to eX-
pose japanese police methods, but to
frustratc the plot against the mis-
sionaries and to render it almost i'm
possible to form a new one. The Mi
kado's advisors think western teach
ings, such as the Koreans get from the
missionaries, are anita. onistic to an
autocratic government and are afraid
of them.

Portuguese Republicans Wild With
Rage and Explanations Will be De-

Madrid, July 17.-Spanish Portu-
guese relations suffered. violent
They were badly strained previously
If Portugal were strong enough there
would be a clash. Some sort of troub-
lie may yet occur if the Portuguese
can get foreign backing, which is pos
sible.
For some time the Lisbon govern
ment has complained that King AL
fonso has been encouraging the roy
alist rebellion in Northern Portugal.
Finally England and France were per-
suaded to tell him that he ought to
maintain neutrality along his side of
the frontier. Furious, but afraid to
offend England and France, he made
a pretensc of doing it.
Evidently, however, the humilia-
tion was too much for Spain to con-
tinue bearing indefinitely. 1t was Civ
en- out from official sources here to-
day that unless Portugal pays for hav-
ing Portuguese royalists prisoners ar
rested on the Spanish side of the from
tier and for keeping them after they
have been arrested, they will all be
turned loose.
1t was added that Spain does not
propose to mobilize it entire army to
keep the royalists from going back to
Portugal.
The tone of the announcement even
more tan it's substance has driven the
Portuguese republicans wild with rage
and explanations are certain to be de-
manded.

ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS
Motion to Quash Notices Promptly
Overruled by Judge Gordon.

In the Circuit Court for Alexandria
county today, Judge Bennett T. Gordon
is hearing the preliminary arguments
in the case of the petition of the city
of Alexandria to annex part of Alex
andria and Fairfax counties.
When the case was called this morn
ing the attorneys for the counties
moved to quash the notices which had
been served on the Boards of Supervis
ors of the counties on the grounds
that the notices were defective, and
that the city of Alexandria was not
properly incorporated.
These motions were argued briefly
by Mr.. Montague for the counties and
Corporation Attorney Fisher for the
city.
Judge Gordon promptly overruled
the motion to quash and the attor-
neys for the counties then filed de-
murrer to the notices.
At the time of going to press the
opening argument on the demurrer
was being made by Jno. S. Barbour
for the counties. His argument will
be replied to by Messrs. S. G. Brent,
John M. Johnson and S. P. Fisher for
the city. 1t is thought that the ar
guments will be concluded today and
that Judge Gordon will overrule the
demurrer and fix day TO rthe actu-
al trial of the case early in Septem-
ber.

Boston,, July 17.-Labor condi-
tions in Massachusetts today were
worse than at any other time in the
history of the Bay State, according to
the records today in the offices of the
state labor officials. Fifty-two strik-
es are on. Twenty thousand workers
are idle, as a result. The largest
strike is at New Bedford where 49,
400 cotton mill operatives struck for
abolishment of the graduated pay sys-
tenn abolished by the legislature. This
strike threatens to extend to dozen
other mill cities throughout New Eng
land. In Boston, $500 street car en-
ployes of the Boston elevated surface,
subway and elevated lines are on
strike. Three hundred painters are
also out here.
Other cities where strikes of mill
employees, shoe workers or other skill
led workmen are out are Lynn, Lud-
low, Holyoke, Springfield, Worchester,
Clinton, Amesbury, Webster,
Lawrence, Huntington, Fall River,
Everett, Lowell, and Pittsfeld. Hav-
erhill may come into the list if the
threat of the Industrial Workers of
the World workers there to call out
nearly 10000 shoe workers is made
good. The Havcrhill shoe operatives
want more pay and double pay for
overtime with a 50-hour week.

UGLY CHARGE
AGAINST POLICE.
Herman Rosenthal, it is Alleged, was
Victim of Police
Policy
TO CLOSE HIS MOUTH. :"
Five Officers Within Three Hundred
Feet When Murder Was Commits
ted-Little Effort at Capture.

New York, July 17.-With an open
feud existing between District Attor-
ney Whitman and the police authorl-
ties, developments of the most sem
sational character in the gambling sit
uation were imminent today.
Whitman openy charges that Her.
man Rosenthal, murdered in front OF
the Hotel Metropole early yesterday
was the victim of the police system.
He said flatly that he was killed not
alone to close his mouth, but the pub
lie place was selected for the murder
so others who might desire to 'squeaP
would be properly terrorized.
The police bitterly denied and re-
sented Whitman's character lzatlons.
They insisted that Resenthal was Kill
ed because he talked too much about
the gambling situation and that ne
was put out of the way by the down
town gambling syndicate. They SAID
they will prove this by the arrest
within a short time of every one OF
Rosenthals murderers.
But Whitman is having an lnde-
pendent investigation made. He has
positively asserted that he will place
no credence in any case the police may
furnish him. He positively declared
today that if the police were sincere
they would have arrested the murder
ers on the spot.
"There were five policemen within
300 feet of the shooting" said Whit
man today "two within 100 feet OF
it and one within so. Yet five men
were able to shoot to pieces the head
of a grand jury witness, get into an
automobile and escape without beng
seriously inconvenienced.
This at two o'clock in the morning
on a brilliantly lighted street forty
feet off Broadway in front OF a place
that was filled with people. And al
ter the assassins got into the car the
police made little pretense of pursuit,
not one got the right number OF the
car and they arrested as criminal
the man who tried to give them the
right number.
"Just as this man is about to give
the names of eight or ten men VINO
could and would support his charges
of organized corruption in the police
department; just as the situation
shapes up most dangerously for the
police involved, he is killed. The pub
lie feels this killing was part OF the
work of great secret organization
which can defy the laws as it pleases.
This killing has been frightful bio"
to the orderly execution or justice IN
this country, and one from which 1t
will take it long to recover, although
I will not rest until every man con-
cerned is punished.
The police arranged LOUIS, better
known at "Bridgie" Webber, in the
West 5Sth Street police court today
and had him remanded back into their
custody for twenty-four hours on
charge of being suspicious person.
They alleged that at an outing at
tended by most of the downtown
gamblers last Sunday on the steamer
Seagate, Wehber told several others:
"That guy Rosenthal is talking too
much. If he keeps on someone will
have to get him."
Webber has positively refused to
give the police any information and
he was remanded so that he could be
given the third degree.
