Harrisburg, Pa.,, April 25—As a re- sult of the investigation by the legis- latlve committee into the expenditure of $9,000,000 for furnishings and dec- orations for the new state capitol it is probable that criminal proceedings ‘will be Instituted by the state against certain persons who have prominently figured in the investigation. Both Governor Stuart and Senator Fisher, chairman of the investigating com- mittee, have declared their bellef that enough evidence has Leen brought out to warrant such action. The gov- ernor, it is sald, will lay the matter before the attorney general as soon as the commission has made its final report. The commission has been investigat- Ing the charges of extravagance, over- charges, duplication in payments of bills and fraud for nearly two months and has yet to take the testimony of meny important persons who have knowledge of the subject under in- vestigation. Among those to be ex- amined is former Governor Penny- packer. The Investigating committee has been assisted by a large force of au- ditors in the employ of a New York audlt company. The report of these auditors will be made shortly to the commission and will cover much ground that the commission was un- able to touch through the calling of witnesses. COMPROMISE IS LIKELY. Outlook for Peace in Central America Brighter. ‘Washington, April 25.—A more hope- ful view is taken of the situation In Central America, advices received by the government leading to the belief that a compromise yet will be effected in the negotiations now going on be- tween Nicaragua, Honduras and Sal- vador. Tuesday during the conferences at the state department matters looked impossible of adjustment except by arbitration, but the announcement was made that within twenty-four hours some development might be ex- pected. This has materialized in the shape of a dispatch from Philip Brown, ‘American charge of the legation at Honduras, stating that everything now seems to Indicate an agreement in principle. Senor Corea, the Nicarag- uan minister, who had a lengthy con- ference with Assistant Secretary Ba- eon, expressed the belief that the stumbling blocks to a complete agree- ment will soon be swept away and that peace will be re-established in the near future. FRIENDLY TO LABOR President Discusses His Attitude Toward Organizations. MOYER AND HAYWOOD CASE Mr. Rooseveit in Reply to Protests Re- iterates Former Assertion That Offi- cials of Western Federation of Min- ers Are Undesirable Citizens. Washington, April 25.—The pres- ident during the day talked with two of his visitors about his attitude to- ward labor organizations. These per- sons were S. B. Hammer, chief con- ductor of West Virginia of the Order of Railway Conductors, and R. H. Gra- ham, an attorney representing the West Virginia conductors. After the presentation of the visitors by Sen- ator Scott the president asked the two men to remain a few moments until some other business was dis- yosed of and then gave them a talk abeut the Haywood and Moyer cases, taking the same position in the matter as he did in the letter just made pub- lic. The president told the railroad men particularly of what he had done for the benefit of railway organiza- tions in his advocacy and support of the railway employers’ liability bill and the safety appliances law. The two men left the White House ex- pressing their satisfaction with the position the president had taken in the Moyer-Haywood controversy. REFUSES TO RETRACT. President Reiterates Statement About Moyer and Haywood. Washington, April 25.—President Roosevelt, in response to the demands of organized labor throughout the country for a retraction of his state- ment that Moyer, Haywood and Debs, labor leaders, are undesirable citizens, wrote a letter to Honore Jaxon in ‘which he not only reiterated the state- ment, but denounced them as men who “habitually appear as guilty of incite- ment to or apology for bloodshed and violence.” The president declares that Moyer and Haywood ‘“represent as thorcugh- ly an undesirable type of citizenship as can be found in the country.” He says that he is as profoundly indierent to the condemnation of the rich class of undesirable citizens as the poor class and that he stands for a square deal for every one. He de- clares that it is highly improper to endeavor to influence the course of justice and points out that the sta- tlonery on which the complaint of the Chicago labor leaders was written shows that this organization is at- tempting to bring about the acquittal of Moyer and Haywood regardless of the question of guilt or innocence. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. Railroad Commissioner Believes It ls Certain to Come. Milwaukee, April 25.—That the final analysis of the railway rate problem will be governmental ownership is the belief of John Barnes, president of the Wisconsin railway 'commission. Mr. Barnes, in an address before the Merchants and Manufacturers’ asso- clation, said he did not favor govern- mental ownership, as under this condi- tion the roads would not be operated either as well or as economically as under private hands, but he feared that it might come to that in the end. There were, he said, two other meth- ods: Firet, to permit the roads to run their business as they please, and, second, to have the rates controlled by the government. The second he believed to be the best for the coun- try and jt ought to be given a fair trial before the proposition of govern- mental ownership was considered serl- ously. Ralilroads, he sald, were wholly monopolistic in their tendencles and were strengthening themselves con- stantly and it was time for the gov- ernment to step in and fix rates. If this should not succeed in restoring falrness in vates then there would be nothing left but governmental owner- shlp, even though it had serious dis- advantages. Taft Silent on Politics. Washington, April 256.—In answer to a specific question as to whether he intended to make any announcement in the near future regarding his polit- ical purposes Secretary Taft sald that he certainly would make no such statement before his Ohio trip, which begins Friday, and he was not pre- pared to state whether or not he would have anything to say after that trip. Serious Drought in Cuba. Havana, April 26.—The drought con- tinues and there is no cessation in the hardships endured. Everywhere in the island serious conditions are faced because of meteorological conditions. From Santiago comes a report that the source of supply of the water- works has drled up and that there is much suffering in consequence. Ten Per Cent Increase In Wages. Providence, R. I, April 25.—An- nouncement of a 10 per cent increase of wages, on a basis of a ten-hour day, has been made by the management of the Rhode Island company, the cor- poration that operates practically all of the street raflway lines in the state. This increase will be shared by 615 motormen and 598 conductors. HIS IUENITIY WIIHHELD, Police After Leader of New York Bond Thieves, New York, April 25.—William O. Douglas, assistant loan clerk of the Trust Company of America, who is charged with stealing bonds valued at many thousands of dollars, and Oliver M. Dennett, a broker, who, it is al- leged, received the stolen securities, were given a Rearing in the West Side police court. The officials of the trust company, not content with the arrest of these two men, are continuing their detective work. They say they are convinced that there waa a nlat and that there was somebedy behind Doug- las in a scheme to defraud the com- pany out of many hundreds of thou- sands of dollars. The identity of the third man in the ulleged plot was not revealed, but the statement is made that he is more prominent than either of the prisoners and that the prisoners ‘were probably his dupes. The trust company has succeeded in getting back all of the bonds which were found to have disappeared when Douglas’ books were checked up last Saturday. The amount pald out for their recovery was $140,000. In ex- planation of this it was said that all of the bonds stolen from the office of the trust company, except those which had been found in Dennett's bed at the Manhattan club, had been placed with various brokers about Wall street, innocent parties to the trans- actions, by way of margin for stock transactions. To recover the original bonds it was necessary to get orders from Dennett and Douglas to call back all the collateral and to reimburse the brokers holding such bonds for the Joss entalled to them by such action. The total amount of this relmburse- ment was $140,000. CARRIED A CREW OF SIX Fishing Tug Searchlight Lost Off Harbor Beach, Mich. Harbor Beach, Mich., April 25.—The fishing tug Searchlight of this port is missing and is believed to have sunk in Lake Huron with her crew of six men. A heavy sea prevailed on Lake Huron for twenty-four hours. The Searchlight went out to her nets as usual and was last sighted out in the lake headed for port from the lifesav- Ing station. The tug did not arrive, however, and when finally anxiety be- gan to be felt for her safety the har- bor tug Johnston and the lifesaving crew went out into the lake and spent the night searching for some trace of the missing tug. A number of fish boxes which are supposed to have be- longed to the Searchlight were dis- covered floating and this is taken as a certain indication that the tug has foundered. CANNOT BE IMPROVED. Health Conditions on Canal Zone as Good as They Ever Will Be. ‘Washington, April 25.—Health con- ditions on the canal zone are about as good now as they ever will be, ac- cording toa report from Colonel Gor- gas, chief sanitary officer, just re- ceived at the offices of the isthmian canal commission. Since August last the number of sick among the em- ployes has steadily decreased until it is now 19.40 men per 1,000, as against 33.72 in August. This, in the opinion of Colonel Gorgas, is an excellent sick rate. Among 4,600 American (white) employes there were only two deaths from disease during the month of March, a rate of 5.17 per 1,000. Among 1,200 American women and children living in the canal commission quar- ters there were no deaths and very little sickness of any kind, as has been the rule in the past. The negro em- ployes show the highest mortality and the American whites the smallest. The mortality from all causes for March was: Negroes 4850, white employes 15.69, American whites 13.34 per 1,000. MILLION FOR NEGROES. Philadelphia Woman Gives Large Sum for Education. Philadelphia, April 25.—With regret that the world must know of her gift Miss Anna T. Jeanes, the aged million- aire philanthropist, last of a noted Philadelphia family of Friends, has, by deed of trust, bestowed $1,000,000 upon the negro race in this country for educational purposes. To Booker T. Washington of Tuske- gee Agricultural institute; to Dr. Hol- lins Burke Fossell, principal of Hamp- ton Industrial and Agricultural insti- tute, the $1,000,000 is conveyed and the administration of the income is to be in the hands of a board of trustees soon to be appointed. Tt is expressly stipulated that the income is to be devoted to “com- munity, country and rural schools for negroes in the South,” and Mr. Wash- Ington gives assurance that this shall in no way be construed to mean that even a small portion will be spent upon either the Tuskegee or Hamp- ton Institutes. SUPERVISE CUBAN CENSUS Victor H. Olmsted Goes to Havana for That Purpose. ‘Washington, April 25.—Upon the application of the Cuban government Secretary Wilson has granted a fur- lough to Victor H. Olmsted, an em- ploye of the department of agricul- ture, to permit him to supervise the taking of a census of that island. Mr. Olmsted has left for Havana and will establish headquarters in Santa Clara. It is estimated that six or seven months will be required to enumerate the population of the island. Mr. Olm- sted was assistant director of the Cu- ban census bureau in 1899-1900. Minnesota Tax Commission.

C., April 25.—Conferences between the coal operators and the miners were held behind closed doors.

LATTER’S ACTION CRITICISED Russian Emperor Questions Presiding Officer's Impartiality in Permitting Greater Freedom of Speech to the Radical Members. St. Petersburg, April 25.—The con- fidants of M. Golovin, president of the lower house of parliament, are very reticent regarding the details of the audlence which he had with Emperor Nicholas Tuesday, but it is learned that the discussion was frank and unreserved. The emperor spoke his mind freely and showed himself to be surprisingly well posted on the trans- actions in parliament, which is ex- plained by the fact that he reads all the revorts on the subject every night. The emperor criticised M. Golovin’s actions, questioning his impartiality in allowing much more freedom to the Radicals than to the Conmservatives, mentioning particularly several speeches of M. Alexiensky, Social Democrat, which his majesty said should not have been permitted. M. Golovin, in his defense, pleaded his difficult position as head of a Rad- ical parliament at the present time. Various features of the ministerial programme were discussed, but there was no hint of a dissolution of par- liament and the difiiculties between Premier Stolypin and the lower house were not mentioned. In the opinion of M. Golovin the reactionary cam- paign against parliament has not made any headway with the emperor. DEBATES CAU_S—E_E:‘.ITATIONI Russian Provincial Governors Urge Dissolution of Parliament. St. Petershurg, April 25.—Several provincial governors have arrived in St. Petersburg to support the move- ment of the reactionists in favor of a dissolution of parliament on the ground that the debates are causing dangerous agitation and ferment. This, it is alleged, is especially no- A REMARKABLE MIXTURE.

Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each mcal and at bedtime. Any good pre- scription pharmacy can supply the ingredients at small cost. This is said to do wonders for many people whose skin and complexion show the condition cf their blood, or who are sickly, wezk and run down physically, and is known to relieve serious, long - standing cases of Rheumatism and chronic backache quickly. Make some up and try it. ticeable in the provinces, where the agrarian disorders of 1905-6 occurred. The panicky feeling among the Lib- erals as to the possibility of a dissolu- tion of parliament has subsided owing to the manner in which the emperor received President Golovin recently. The first executive session of the lower house of parliament will be held April 26, when, at the request of the | minister of war, the house will con- sider the law fixing the number of re- cruits for 1907. This is an urgent matter, as the law must be promul- gated by May 14. TO CAPTURE NOTED BANDIT Russian Troops Blow House to Pieces With Artillery. ‘Warsaw, Russian Poland, April 25.— A notorious brigand, Stauislaus Lis, the author of many crimes, has been captured at Lublin, ninety-five miles from here, mortally wounded, after the house in which he had sought | refuge had been blown to pieces by | artillery fire. Lis, when he saw that | a detachment of police was advancing ! on the house, barricaded himself with- i in and opened fire on the police, kill- |ing several of them. Troops were | summoned to the assistance of the i police, but they were unable to dis- | lodge the bandit. Finally several i quickfire field pieeces were brought up and trained on the house. Eight shells hit the building, which was demol- ished, after which the infantry stormed the ruins and found Lis, desperately wounded, trying to reload his revolver, { which he had emptied at the attack- ing party. BODY OF WOMAN FOUND. | Believed to Have Been Cook of Lost Steamer Arcadian. Ludington, Mich., April 25.—Fisher- men from this port have discovered the body of a young woman floating in { Lake Michigan with one of the life preservers of the lost steamer Ar- cadian about it. The woman, who un- doubtedly was the cook of the Arca- dian, was only partially dressed, the clothing bearing evidence that it was donned in great haste. One arm was upraised, as though the woman had been clinging to something, the head thrown back and the face wore an agonized look. This is taken to indi- cate that the Arcadian’s crew had some warning of the fate that was upon them. Free for All Fight in Church. Ashland, Ky., April 25.—At Sutton, inear Grayson, a free for all fight be- | tween the Patrick, Sexton and Haney | boys broke up a revival service. The | affair was caused by Patrick, who held the hand of Albert Haney’s sweet- heart. Haney struck Jim Patrick and their friends took sides, starting a bat- tle that literally cleaned out the church., Paris Strikers Disorderly. | Paris, April 25.—The strikers at- tacked several bakeries in attempts to intimidate the bakers who were at work.
