| “REOPENED WOUNDS OF RACE ENMITY.” Federal Offceholder Emphatical- ly Disapproves President's Negro Policy. HIS OPINIONS ARE PUBLISHED. Freedom With Which He Criticizes Roosevelt's Course Excites Com- ment in Administration Circles. New York, Oct. 10.—Henderson M. Somerville, of Alabama, chairman of the Board of General Appraisers in the custome service. has not gained favor with the administration by an article over his signatare in the cur- rent number of the North American Review, in which he criticises the President's attitude toward the race issue with a freedom that is remark- able in view of the fact that he holds a Federal appointment by the grace of Mr. Roosevelt In this article Mr. Somerville saye: “The disturbing effect of President Roosevelt's attitude toward the negro never can be adequately esti mated in ite retardation of the solu- tion of the race problem which is staggering American statesmanship The appointment of the negro Crum as Collector of Customs at the Port of Charleston, in opposition to the known sentiment, even of the Repub- lican Senate, and other like presi- dential policies, produced great ex eitement in the South and reopened the wounds of race prejudice which were gradually being allayed. “These issues were made para mount in the recent Democratic pri- maries in the State of Mississippi, where & most exciting election was held. The result was thenomination of a candidate for Governor who avowedly tolerated negro lynching and strenuously opposed the policy of negro education, As the New York Sun well said: “This means a deeper barbarism for the Mississipp! negroes, a greater danger for the Mississippi whites.’ The overzealous friends of the negro thus become practically his worst enemies.” Had this criticism of the President been made by some person not in the Government service it would not have attracted attention among of- ficials of the-administration. Though Mr. Somerville’s right to hold his opinion of the wisdom of the Presi- dent’s policy in dealing with the race problem may be conceded, as is con- tended, as is conceded by many offi cials, he has shown 4 lack of delicacy in publicly criticising his policy and eontinuing to hold office under the administration. Notwithstanding the displeasure occasioned by the publication of Mr. Somerville’s article, it is not proba- ble that it will be made the ground for his removal from office. For some time there has been more or leas friction between the Board of General Appraisers and the Treasury Department growing out of a differ- ence of opinion as to the exact rela- tions between them. Some of the members, and chief among them Mr. Somerville, have held that the board was in large measure independent of the department and occupied a posi- tion analogus to that of a United States court. It cannot be saidthat this friction had gone so far as to lead to a determination on the part of the President to remove Mr. Som- ervillefrom office, but there is reason to believe that, if such a removal has been contemplated, it will be defer- red, 80 as not to put the ebairman in the position of being disciplined for his criticism of the President. Farmers Chase Doctor Away With Shotguns. Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 9.—Dr. San- ders, territorial veterinary surgeon, was assaulted at Kingfisher last evening by William Doorley, 8 prom- inent farmer, whose horses had been ordered shot by Sanders, because af- flicted with glanders. To-day Sanders was ordered off two more farms by their owners when he called to examine their| horses and their demands were back- ed up with shotguns. Doorley was arrested, but afterwards was releas- | ed on bond. The county authorities have been called upon to protect | INDICTED FOR ABETTING TURF SWINDLER’S SCHEME Ex-Postal Officials Charged With Extorting Bribe From John J. Ryan. Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct, 10.—Daniel Y. Miller, late assistant attorney general for the post office depart ment, and Attorney Joseph Johns wore indicted by the United States grand jury to day, charged with con- spiracy to commit an offenseagainst the United States. Daniel V. Miller was employed as second assistant to Attorney Gener- al Tyner of the post office depart- ment. Joseph Johns was an attor. ney at Rockville, [nd., where he was arrested May 27. Miller was arrest- ed the same day in his offices at Washington. The allegations upon which the ar- rests were based related to charges ot extorting a bribe from John J. Ryan of J. J. Ryan & Co., surf com- missioners. Prior to their arrest post office in- spectore had recommended shat a fraud order be issued against the Ryan firm, suspending all its mail. Ryan and Judge Outcault went to Washington to argue their case, At- torney Miller representing the other side, Ryan claimed his company had enough money to pay all depositors in full and, as a result of the hearing. Acting Attorney General Christiancy recommended that the post oftice in- epectors make another Investigation. They did so, and @ second timea fraud order was recommended. A few days later, according to tele- grams produced before the grand jury, Miller telegraphed Johns to deal with Ryan. A meeting washeld at the Gibson house between Johns and Ryan, in which Ryan paid $4.- 500, of which $2,500 was for a fa- vorable decision on the scheme al- lowing Ryan’s continued use of the mails, and $2,000 was for revising Ryan’s advertising matter so as to conform to the ruling of the attorney general. Ryan paid the amounts in checks, which are held as evidence against Johns and Miller. Later both Miller and Johns ap- peared in court and entered pleas of not guilty. Johns made his plea conditional, reserving the right to change it after reading the indict. ment ‘The defendants were allowed until Friday to file demurrers or mo- tions, and their bail was fixed at 2,500 each, which was furnished. The chief witness before the grand jury was John J. Ryan, who, itis said, produced telegrams received from Miller directing him to meet Johns in Cincinnati, where he paid to Johns the money by checks. The checks also have been presented as eviderice.

Mr. Folk With the President. Washington, Oct. 8.—Joseph Folk RUSSIA AND JAPAN ARE WEARING WAR Russia Answers Japanese Move mentef Troops by Assemb- ling Mighty Squadrons London, Oct. 9.—Russia’s answer to the Japanese movement of troops foto Korea was the dispatch ofa mighty feet to the same quarter to-day. The Russian ficet is com- posed of warsbips of all classes and is the one Russia has been gathering about Pors Arthur for nearly a year, presumably for just such a crisis. Additional warlike news is the an- nouncement that brigades of Rus- sian troops have been hurriedly marched to the Korean boundary line, where they arenow camped. With the dogs of war ready on both sides and straluing at the lash, the diplomats of Russia and Japan still are trying to reach an amicable agreement at Tokio. OPEN PORTS INSISTED UPON. Washington, Oct. 8.—Regardless of whether Russia to-day removes her troops from Manchuria or breake her promise, this government will at present go no further than to main- tain that the United States have equal trading rights in Manchuria with elther Russia or any other power. This, in fact, appears to be the only point on which Russia was pos- itive in her promises to this county, Her failure to evacuate may bea specimen of bad faith in fact, and undoubtedly will be so considered here, but state department officials believe she cannot be held to vague promises she made last year in this respect. The opening of the ports at Mouk- don-and-Antung— however, -will be insisted upon to the extreme limit. RUSSIANS THINK WAR DESIRABLE, St. Petersburg, Oct. 9.—In high ofticial circles the belief is rapidly gaining ground that war with Japan is desirable for many reasons. The first is that the officials think Russia will never make progress in the far east until Japan has been effectively crippled. Second, that war would afford the best excuse for Russia not to evacuate Manchuria now, while by the end of the war the situation would be so changed that the United States and other powers would not demand evacuation. Military and naval war advocates are of the opinion that after a brief campaign, Japan would be glad to resign all pretentions to the Asiatic mainland. THEY'RE GOING WITH HEARST. Republican Territory Officials Will Aid the Publisher's Little Boom. Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 8.—A telegram received here to-day by the editor of the Guthrie Leader announces that the Hearst party of congressmen who will tour the territories of New Mex- ico, Arizooa, Oklahoma and Indian Territory prior to the meeting of the extra -session—of-congress, willHeave Chicago Monday, October 12, arriv- ing in Kansas City Tuesday morn- ing.

Neosho, Mo., Oct.7.—Clint Cantrell was killed here about seven o'clock this evening by Frank Watson of Grandby. About six months ago Cantrell went to Granby to try and collect a note he had against Watson. Some words passed between them, and Watson shot five times at him. The excitement caused by the shooting threw Watson’s wife into nervous collapse. She brought suit against Cantrell for damage, and this suit was to come up for trial to-morrow in the circuit court here, A number of Grandby people were here to attend the trial. Watson and two companions stood at the corner of Wood and Spring streets by the saloon. When Cantrell came along Watson fired, The first shot Cantrell fell. Watson fired five more shots into his body. Oneof his com- panions gave him another revolver, which he held at Cantrell’s head as he lay dead on the sidewalk, and fired six more shots Into his head. A stray bullet struck E, W. Knotts in the leg, making a flesh wound. Watson was arrested, The Massachusetts Democrats, Washington Star The democrats of Massachusetts did not instruct for Richard Olney for president, but they nominated Richard Olney, jr., for Heutenant governor, and maybe with the view of testing sentiment inthe state with thename. Let us wait, then, and see how the maneuver worke before speculating further about the Olney presidential boom, It young Olney | runs ahead of his ticket, and partic- ularly if the ticket is elected, we may expect a rise in the stock of the elder Olney. But if there isthe same old story told at the pulls—a republican victory scored hands down—then we shall probably not hear much more about New England as fighwing ground for the democrats. By the way, the dispatches make no mention of George Fred Williams. Is a democraticconvention in Massa- chusetts regular or lawful without Mr. Williame, or with him present and not speaking? Is not his vocal assent to the proceedings necessary to their binding character? Where was Mr. Willlams when Mr. Gaston went in? Russia to Keep Manchuria Until Demands Are Met. Yokohama, Uct. 10.—According to information received here, the Rus- sian Minister at Pekin, M. Lessar, has informed the Chinese Foreign Of- fice that Russia will never evacuate Manchuria unless her latest demands are granted. China, it is added, has appealed to the Japanese Minister, M. Uchida, for Japanese assistance. The Japanese residents of Jef-Wie- Ju (Weja), Korea, have filed a peti- tion with the Foreign Officeat Tokio, asking that a Japanese warship and troops be sent to protect their inter- ests, in view of the menacing attitude of Russia, The reply of Japan isnot yet known. Revived After Four Minutes of Death. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 10 —For four minutes John Welle was dead, buthe was restored and is still alive, thougo the physicians give practically no hope of his recovery. Welle is official interpreter, at the criminal court. - He was taken to St. Joseph's In- firmary at 5 o’clock yesterday after- noon for an emergency operation. Just as the operation was about completed, Welle, to all appearances, died of exhaustion, and Dr. Frank E. Corrigan, was the chief surgeon, says he was dead for four minutes, the longest time on record. Oxygen was the principal restora- tive. Though the pilse was strong- erto-day, Dr. Corrigan gave small hope for the patient’s recovery.
