David Starr Jordan Doesn't
Want to See the Kaiser
Abdicate if His Son Is to
Succeed Him to the
Throne.

New York, March PA small riot
with open fighting featured attempts
of several bclligcTcnt and militant
spectators at tonight's mass meeting of
the emergency peace committee to OBJ
ject to the pacifist proceedings.
Three or four persons in the aud
fence, directly adjacent to the speak
er's stand, started heCkling Chairman
John C. Milholland. In a moment
several hundred people charged the
disturbers and free for-all fist fight
ensued
The hecklers were elected after 20
minutes fast and furious fsticuffs.
PUT UP A HOT FIGHT.
The pro-war advocates were vastly
outnumbered by the pacifists, but they
put up a hot little fight, in which the
pacifists showed they knew how to
use their fists.
Madison Square garden was in an
uproar during the disturbance. At
least COCO persons were massed there.
A number of women left frightened at
the fighting. No one appeared to be
much the worse for the scrapping.
John G. Milholland, who presided,
strenuously defended the patriotism of
those opposing war.
LOYAL TO CONSTITUTION.
We are loyal to the constitution"
he said. I'VE resent to the utmost
that these grave questions cannot be
settled without going to war
Never mind being called a traitor"
Milholland said. some day this coun-
Try will be freed of this hell called war
and it will then be fit to live in"
He then referred TO recent events in
Russia.
Are you an American shouted a
man from the rear of the hall.
"Of course" returned Milholland, ap-
parently peeved at the interruption.
Throw him out" This from the
rear.
No retorted Milholland, you won't
throw any one out"
Directing his remarks to the man in
the rear, Milholland continued declar-
ing:
WANT NO DICTATOR.
we arc not going to inausurate a
dictator in Washington or anvwhefe
else. We want time to consider this
question thoroughly and shall refuse to
be stampedcd."
Other speakers were Joseph Cannon,
DR.. David Starr Jordan. DR.. Judah
Magnus and Professor Scott Nearing.
As Milholland concluded. an officer
marched out of the hall, taking the man
from the rear, charged with disturb

BIG FEES CHARGED
LESSEES IN THE PAST
Report of John Walker to
the Land Commissioner
Shows How System Of
Sub-leasing and Transfer
ring Has Been Operated.

The state land board proposes to
clos down on large agricultural land
lease operators in the southeastern
part of the state so as to prevent
monopoly on state lands and when
leases expire will see that they are put
up at public auction and the land
leased to the highest bidder. AS for
the speculator who has been securing
leases and then transferring them to
others at a premium, the board hopes
to be able to cat them out altogether.
1t was learned Saturday from mem
bers of the land board that all per-
sons interested will be cited to appear
and show cause, where they hold trans
ferred leases in opposition to the rules,
why the leases should not be cancelled
The board members take the attitude
that while they do not wish to be ar
btrary at the same time they do not
propose to have spectators reap
profit off of state holdings to the detri-
ment of the small farmers.
The rules of the board provide that
no individual shall lease agricultural
land from the state for longer period
than five years. In southeastern Ida
no. it IL charged the dry farm agricul-
tural lands have been leased in nu-
merous instances by spectators. The
report of John Walker, state land APP
praiser, who made an investigation re-
garding the sub-leasing and transfer,
ring of state leases in southeastern
Idaho particularly in Fremont county,
contains some interesting data abou:
how these leases have been speculated
upon. Fees of from 500 to $1,000
changed hands, it is shown.

The fact is, the American war fleet

Within "a months we can put 5000, 900

field in history.
READY FOR SACRIFICE.
I'm the face of this national danger
the soul of this mighty people is in
spired with the sentiment of deathless
loyalty of unfaltering courage, of
heroic sacrifice. God knows we all do
hope this cup will pass from us. but if
it shall be pressed to our lips. then the
sons and daughters of America will
know how to live-and how TO die.
And when the story shall have been
written the Hapsburgs will have fol-
lowed the Romanoffs into obscurity;
the shackles of tyranny will have been
broken from the limbs of millions, and
democracy will have erected temples
of freedom out of ruins of the palaces
and prisons of autocracy."
