The public emotion of the Ameri- can is short-lived. Unwatched, uncared- for, mourned, the “phwritten law” of Mr. Delphin Delmas is now dying in the squalid ashes of the Thaw divorce. One year ago Rev. Madison C. Peters and his “pity brigade” had the whole country rocking inecstatic harmony with it. Every murderer before the bar called its pleasantly vague principles to his defense. It began to be applied to lesser crimes. The written law hung its head in in awkard embarrassment. But we are bravely through all that now. We are no longer argu- ing ourselves toward appoplexy in an earnest effort to prove that any man may kill another man “‘to avenge a woman’s wrong.” Matea- wan and the businesslike suit for separate maintenance produce the uncomfortable impression that the higher law was simply another name for humbug. We prefer to think of something else. un- CONCERNING JOEL P. The Aitkin Age sizes up the Hon. Joel Heatwole as follows: The Heatwole publicity bureau made an awful blunder in sending out an editorial from the Anoka Union in an attempt to inflate the Heatwole gubernatorial boom. It says “he will build up a party or- ganization,will see to it that repub- licans have the offices and half hearted ones will be put aside.” “Old Pease” has certainly said it. The republican party of Minnesota went into decay and defeat at the hands of the people because it was so beautifully “organized”dominated and dammed by men of the Heat- wole stripe—machine politicians— and if they hope to get back into the traces and in good standing they don’t want Joel P. Heatwole mixed up in the doings. His own people know this and he can’t carry his own county. The Pioneer has received several invoices of clippings, presumably from Heatwole’s press bureau, and we have consigned the whole batch to the generous maw of the waste- paper basket. OBSERVATIONS.

New York Lawyer Completes His Prison Sentence. New York, March 20.—Abraham H. Hummel, the lawyer who was sen- tenced to serve a year in the peniten- tiary for conspiracy in connectien with the Dodge-Morse divorce case, bas been released from prison. His ferm was reduced to about ten months by the allowances made for good be- havior. Hummel had been notified that he could leave the island on the ‘workhouse boat, but he chose to wait untll a little later, when the regular boat would make a special trip across the river for him. Dressed in dark clothes of the latest style, which he had ordered in anticipation of his re- lease, Hummel entered the boat in company with his nephew, Abraham H. Kaffenburg. Arriving at the pier on the New York shore they made a quick dash to a waiting automobile and were whirled away before any one could put a question to Hummel. It is sald that arrangements have been made by Hummel’s friends for him to sail for Furope within a few days. His health has been very poor since he has been in the penitentiary and it is in hope that it may be restored that the proposed European trip is to be undertaken. ‘The Force of Habit. A certaln accountant is so devoted to his profession that when he has noth- 1ng else to do he casts up his eyes. BY NEW YORK GRAND JURY Action of Attorney General Jackson Under Investigation. New York, March 20.—The inquiry into the conduct of Attorney General Jackson in connection with the recent banking cases continues. District At- torney Jerome, who has the inquiry in charge, declined to make any state- ment as to the aim of the present proceedings. It is believed that the matter which the jury is sifting has to do with the appointment of receiv- ers for some of the banks which have received attention from the attorney general. Frank White, who was re- ceiver of the Hamilton bank, already has testified before the grand jury. | Mr. White was Attorney General Jack- son’s first deputy when the Hamilton bank closed and he resigned that po- sition to become receiver of the in- stitution. While White was before the grand jury Joseph Ford appeared in the criminal court building in an- swer to a subpoena. Mr. Ford for- merly was private secretary to Attor- ney General Jackson. He resigned to become receiver for the Merchants and Traders’ bank. Mr. Jackson has issued a statement in which he denied a published allega- tion that Frank White had been so- licited by him for a portion of White's receivership fees. Mr. Jackson also gave out copies of two telegrams, one addressed to Senator Thomas F. Grady and the other to Assemblyman George Palmer, Democratic leader of the as- sembly, asking them to co-operate and confer in the fullest degree with the proposed legislative investigation into the affairs of his office. LITTLE HOPE OF RECOVERY Governor Guild of Massachusetts Crit- ically Ml Boston, March 20.—There is no ap- parent change in the condition of Gov- ernor Guild, whose illness has reached a critical stage. Governor Guild has been suffering from rheu- CURTIS J. GUILD, JR. matism and grip for more than a week. It is understood, however, that the governor’s condition gives very little hope of his recovery. UNEMPLOYED IN RIOT. Anxiety to Secure Work Cause of the Trouble. Cleveland, March 20.—One man was fatally injured and a number of oth- ers seriously hurt in a riot near the plant of the American Steel and Wire company on Independence road, in the southern outskirts of the city. Fifty men crowded around the gates of the plant seeking employment, word hav- ing gone out that additional help would be taken on. A quarrel started among the men following the attempt of those in the rear to get closer to the gate and a general fight began, the men using stones and clubs as ‘weapons. One man was armed with a revolver. He shot down his opponent, who had struck him with a rock. At this juncture a patrol wagon loaded with police arrived on the scene. The officers clubbed the rioters right and left. A number of the rioters were found 1lying unconscious on the ground. Charles Wryciet, one of the rioters, who was shot, cannot recover. Due to Heavy Gas Pressure. Pittsburg, March 20.—Two China- men are believed to have perished, scores of persons are suffering from Inhaling gas, eight places were either set on fire or were the scenes of ex- plosions and many persons narrowly escaped death as a result of a land- slide, which demolished the gas reg- ulator house of the Manufacturers’ Light and Heat company at Ben Avon, a suburb, cauging a sudden heavy pressure of gas. Rich Brewer Sued for Divorce. St. Louis, March 20.—Suit for di- vorce has been filed by Mrs. Lillian Handlan Lemp against William J. Lemp, Jr., president of the Lemp Brewing company. She asks the cus- tody of their seven-year-old son, Will- fam T. Lemp III. and a gross sum of alimony to be fixed by the court. The couple separated in September, 1906. House Authorizes Timber Cut. ‘Washington, March 20.—Bills were passed by the house of representatives authorizing the cutting of timber, the manufacture and sale of lumber anc the preservation of forests on certain Indian lands in Wisconsin. Condition of Francis Joseph. Vienna, March 20.—The slight fe- verishness accompanying the cold from which Emperor Francis Joseph has been suffering for the past fow days has entirely disappeared. The general condition of his majesty s satisfactory and the cold and wet weather at this season of the year makes the greatest caution necessary lest there should be a recurrence of the feverish bronchitis from which the emperor suffered a few months ago. R A P T nNrErrrcCATI\/ LABOR FILES PROTEST Objects to Being Outlawed by Su- preme Court Decision. SENT TO BOTH BRANCHES Memorial Adopted Protesting Against the Failure of Congress to Enact Legislation Favorable to Organized Labor and Setting Forth Demands. ‘Washington, March 20.—The confer- ence of the executive officers of the national and international trade un- fons of North America was taken up with consideration and final adoption by a rising vote of a protest against being placed in a position of outlawry by reason of the decision of the su- preme court making the Sherman anti-trust law applicable to labor as 17 it were a trust conspiracy and an or- ganization in unlawful restraint of trade. A memorial protesting against the failure of congress to enact legisla- tion favorable to the interests of or- ganized labor and setting forth its de- mands was presented to Speaker Can- non and to Vice President Fairbanks. WANT BOYCOTT LEGALIZED Labor Leaders Ask More Than Presi- dent Will Approve. ‘Washington, March 20.—According to the details of -a conference held between Seth Low of New York, pres- ident of the Civic Federation, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, which are slowly coming to light, it is shown that labor is mnot yet committed to legislation about to be urged by Pres- ident Roosevelt along the lines of rec- ommendations made by the Civic Fed- eration. [ Mr. Low is said to have returned to New York much discouraged. He had expected to be able to harmonize the points on which the labor interests, represented by Mr. Gompers, failed to conform with the programme of the Civic Federation. The officials of the American Fed- eratyn of Labor are said to be with- holding their support from the pro- granime because the president feels that he cannot endorse legislation which would legalize trade boycotts by the labor unions. NOVEL FORM OF DEATH. Assassins Again Threaten Lives of Chicago Officials. Chicago, March 20.—Sensational letters threatening a novel and hid- eous form of assassination have been received lately by Mayor Busse, Chief of Police Shippy and Assistant Chief Schuettler. The letters enclosed a dozen or more small steel points. They were smooth, bright and sharp. The letter to the mayor was written in a good regular hand and couched in grammatical, if terrible, terms. The writer said he was one of a number of persons banded together to kill the mayor and other officials. A revolver, he said, had been construct- ed to shoot cartridges composed of steel points, samples of which were enclosed. The shooting would be noiseless and the steel points, the writer sald, were dipped ini deadly poison. By means of this gun a dose of fatal poison could be shot into the system of the intended victim and death would ensue at once. Anna Gould in New York. New York, March 20.—Madame Anna Gould, formerly the Countess de Castellane, arrived from Cherbourg on the steamer Adriatic. She was ac- companied by her three sons, Boni, Jay and George, a maid, chauffeur and valet. Madame Gould and her children occupied a suite of rooms and on embarkation were entered on the passenger list as “Mrs. Miller and party,” but after the steamer was at sea the members of her party were registered under their own names. Great Western Wage Dispute. St. Paul, March 20.—Word has been received from Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission and Commissioner of Labor Neill that they will be unable to give any attention to the question of a change in the working schedule of the employes on the Chicago Great Western for at least iwo weeks, and possibly longer, on account of the press of other rail- road matters which they are consider- ing at Washington. Chicago Banker Indicted. Chicago, March 20.—Five indlect- ments against A. C. Tisdelle, a pri- vate banker, whose bank was declared insolvent several months ago, were returned by a grand jury here.

New York, March ./.—While the great transatlantic liner Kronprinz ‘Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd line lay at anchor in a thick fog off Staten Island the steamer Crown of Castile ran into the liner and tore a hole more than ten feet in diameter in the overhanging stern. The bow of the Crown of Castile penetrated the steward’s quarters on the Kronprinz Wilhelm to a distance of about fifteen feet, but nobody was injured. Water tight doors on the hull of the Kron- prinz were promptly closed, but it ‘was quickly ascertained that she had suffered no damage below the water lne and after a wait of several hours for the log to lighten she proceeded to her dock in Hoboken. The Crown of Castile, which was bound in from Rotterdam, belongs to the New York and Continental line. No one was injured on board.
