The idea is prevalent that the evil accomplished by the “present particularly coarse, cruel, stupid and deceitful Russian Government” is due to the fact that | the Russian Governn.ent is not organ- {ized on the model of other existing Governments, which “are similar in- stitutions for the committal of all kinds of crimes against their peoples,” For the purpose of correcting this the people had used all the means at their disposal, “imagining that an alteration | of the external forms might alter the essence.” Tolstoy says: Such activity is inexpedient and unreason- ble, in that the people ssert rights which they do mot have. Violent strife by external means on the part of an insignificant handful of men against a powerful Government de- fending it iife is only comical from the point of view of the possibility of success and pite- | ous as regards the unfortunate misled indi- vidual who perishes in the unequal strife, The Government has no 1ight to claims h do not appeal to the great mass of the people. One hundred millions of the peasan- try need nothing of these demands, their one desire and expectation being the liberation of the land from the law of property, or common ownership of land, matters which are entirely | 1gnored in liberal positions and speeches, and | only incldentally alluded to in the revolu- | tionary soctalistic programme. | Concerning the representation mands, Count Tolstoy says: The people in great mass still believe in au- tocracy, both by r.ason of inertia and because they think tha: only through autocracy and | through the Czar can they attain this com- munalization of land. The present activity is | pernicious, because it distracts the people from | the moral pertecting of separate individuals, whereby only can be obtained the objects to- | ward which those who are fighting the Gov— ernment are striving. In conclusion Count de- Tolstoy says that in America, ce, Germany, Japan and England the perniclous character of the Governments is so marked that those belonging to those nations point to events in Russia and naively imagine what is done in Russia { is done only in Euzllu, while they en- | Joy complete freed and need no im- | provement of their positions. He adds: | They are in the most hopeless state of slav- ary—the slavery of slaves who do not under that they are slaves, and pride them. es on thelr position as slaves. The fact is every coercive government 1s in the es- sence a great and unnecessary evil. The: | the aim’ both of the Rubsians and s an | men schould not be to replace one form of government by another, but 1o free themselves trom every form of government and abolish it. ——— | RESOLUTIONS OF SORROW. At a meeting of the Stanford Club of San Francisco held in the Y. M. C. A. building the following resolution was adopted: In the loss of Mrs. Stanford the Stanford lub of San Francisco shares the Sorrow of innumerable people Who thus have lost & ble and beloved friend.

Ma 10.—Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University, ~and Timothy °Hopkins. member of its board of trustees, Detec- tive Callundan of the Morse ' Agency and Detective Harry Reynolds of the San "rancisco Police Department ar- rived on the steamship Alameda this morning. The Call correspondent boarded the vessel outside the harbor shortly be- fore 7 o'clock and obtained interviews with the four men who have come to take charge of Mrs. Stanford’s remains and of the investigation in connection { with her death. othy Hopkins asked the corre- 1t for an outline of the proceed- at have taken place in Hono- he was on the_high seas, Both he and President Jordan listened eagerly while the details of the inquest and the work of the police were being recounted. After thanking the correspondent for the information given, Hopkins said: “Both Dr, Jordan and myself have been earnestly hoping during the voy- age that by the time we should arrive at Honolulu the news would have been cabled to the world that poisoning was the cause of Mrs. Stanford’s death. “Now that the Coroner’s jury has de* cided that her death resulted from strychnine administered with purpose of murder our hopes are blasted. 1 cannot say what course we shall pur- sue. Detectives Callundan and Rey- nolds are here with us and they will take charge of the case.” HOPED IT WAS NOT MURDER. “Before we left San Francisco The Call had very thoroughly covered everything ‘we know in connection with the mystery,” said Dr. Jordan. “I did not sthink it possible that any one had attempted to murder Mrs. Stanford at the time of the poisoning in San Fran- cisco on January 14, but she laid much stress on the matter. An investigation | wds accordingly instituted, but there | have so far been no tangible results from the work. “We have been hoping against hope that this last poison theory was un- jtrue. It is terrible, terrible. Mrs. Stanford was such a good woman and | it is horrible to think that her life should have had such an end. | “I presume the police of Honolulu | will hand over all papers in the case | to Callundan and Reynolds. They are to take full charge of the investiga- tion. “Mr. Hopkins and I came here to es- cort the remains of Mrs. Stanford back to San Francisco. We shall return on the Alamedd, which sails from Hono- lulu on Wednesday.” “Yes, we know the contents of Mrs. Stanford’s will,” answered Dr. Jordan in reply to a question. JORDAN SPEAKS EXCITEDLY. “What about Beverly and Miss Rich- mond? Were they left anything in the will?” “No, sir,” replied Dr. Jordan emphat- jcally. “She would never leave thoge people anything, never.” This was the only time Dr. Jordan showed any signs of excitement. He said that the reports that Mrs. Stanford was a spiritualist were un- true. She had told Dr. Jordan that she hoped there would some day be an | opportunity for scientific research into psychological matters so that the living ; might be placed in communication with the dead. Mrs. Stanford hoped she | might gain communication with her husband and son, if it were possible, s0 she could be guided by their sug- | gestions as to what she should do dur- ing her lifetime. ( “I never knew,” sald Dr. Jordan, “that Mrs. Stanford was a spiritual- ist as that term goes. With the name spiritualist I associate masks and other fancies.” “Is Miss Berner a spiritualist?”’ was asked. “No, I certainly think not. I have known her the past fifteen years and am sure she is not. “Miss Berner was Mrs. Stanford’'s stenographer and secretary and one in whom Mrs. Stanford reposed the ut- ‘ most confidence.” Dr, Jordan concluded the interyiew with the statement that the trip from San Francisco had been a period of great anxiety for him, SAME FORM OF “POISON N S0DA S N WATER e Continued From Page 1, Oolumn 1. carefully, and as he finished he leaned | back for support against the depot | building and covered his eyes with his | hands and in g voice quavering with | emotion, said: “I cannot believe it, and yet this statement must undoubt- edly be true. I cannot believe it, for the reason that there is no motive, | no reason for any one to take my | sister’s life. She never did any one | harm and her life was devoted to do- ! ing gobd. Who could possibly be ad- vantaged by her death? Surely none | of those of her immediate household, | for they would lose their pleasant situations and good wages. “1 have been criticized for not tak- ing more active steps in trying to look into the cause of her death. I could | not proceed further than I have done, | for I did not belleve that she had died | other than a natural death. I have | waited for the result of the inquest to | be made known. Now, of course, af- zmn essume a-different aspect.” ———————a ‘W. J. BRYAN ADDRESSES ‘WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE MADISON, Wis., March 10—On in- vitation of both houses Colonel W.

[ CHICAGO, March 10.—Bfforts are being made in the Probate Court to ,unravel the mystery which developed | after the death of the woman known as Miss Anna Mueller, a teacher of Germen in the public schools, also a student at the University of Chicago. The disappearance of a will said to have been executed by the deceased and a question as to the real name of deceased complicates the case. It is believed that she had been masquerad- ing under a wrong cognomen for the last sixteen years. Miss Mueller con- stantly avoided all reference to her family. She admitted on more than one occasion that Mueller was not her correct name and said that for per- sonal reasons she did not care to give the name of her parents. A will is sald to have been executed about three years ago and by its pro- visions the deceased left her estate to her parents in Berlin. Another will was found and by the terms of this instrument she bequeathed $5000 to Mathilda Bressler, a milliner living on | Market street, San Francisco, Cal. This woman has written to Aftorney Cleveland stating that she is the mother of the young woman. Attorney Cleveland to-day went be- fore Judge Cutting and filed a petition asking that the Chicago Title and Trust Company be appointed adminis- trator of the estate. — WOMEN - FOLND N POOLROON | time during the afternoon.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu- facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the, remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con- sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRDP ©OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by phfysicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain Every family should have a Tup CHADWICK CASE NEAR I1S EXD CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 10.—Sat- urday will see the close of the present trial of Mrs. Chadwick and the case probably will be given to the jury some Just before adjourning court for the day Judge Tayler sald it was his intention to keep at the present ease until it had been finished and he directed that all other court business be postponed until Mon- A poolroom in the rear of Jacob Tuch’s cigar store at 581 Geary street was raided yesterday afternoon by Po- | licemen Harrigan and Hooper. Tuch, the proprietor, and nine women were | arrested and taken to the City Prison. While they \ere being booked the wo- men talked excitedly, .making com- plaints against the policemen. Mrs. Foster of the Hotel Repellier and | her two daughters were among those arrested. Mrs. Foster complained vig- | orously against what she alleged was partiality on the part of one of the policemen. She said that a Mrs. Ber- | lin was in the poolroom when it was ralded and the bluecoat walked out | Wwith her. Mrs. Foster further says | that Mrs. Berlin was seen to open her purse and was heard to say, “I suppose I can pay my bail now.” That | was the last seen of Mrs. Berlin and her name was not entered on the prison | register, | Another woman said the policu:un[ took hold of her roughly and struck | her on the nose, bleeding it. She show- ed a handkerchief with a few blood stains on it in proof of her statement. One of Mrs. Foster'’s daughters also complained of being roughly handled. Most of the women gave fictitious names. All, with one exception, ad- mitted that they played the races and could not see why they should be ar- rested for doing £0. The exception was a deaf woman. Mrs. Foster said the deaf woman was a fortune teller and had nothing to do with pools. The deaf ‘woman happened to drop in to tell any of their fortunes while they waited for the results of the races. After they were all bailed out Mrs, Foster and her daughters complained to Acting Chisf of Police Spillane against the arresting patrolmen for partiality and rough treatment. They were informed that their complaints would have due attention. PREFERS. DEATH 10 4 MADHOLSE Robert King Hunter, who lived at 369 First street, left his home early Thursday morning in search of work. He did not return that evening and yesterday his wife receive a note from him, saying that he had committed suicide. Hunter has been ill for some time and until the first day of the pres- ent month was employed by the Olson Company, grocers. The police and | Morgue officlals have been notified and | are investigating the case, baby referred to in the note |Is ut 7 months of age.

The entire day was given over to ar- guments, half of the total number hav- ing been disposed of. Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Thomas H. Garry spoke in the morning and Judge Wing for Mrs. Chadwick took up all the after- noon, with the exception of one-half hour just before the adjournment of court. This time was taken by J. P. Daw- ley, senior counsel for the defense, who is to deiiver the main argument for Mrs. Chadwick. After him will come District Attorney Sullivan, who will close for the Government. The latter is not given to extended speeches, but it is believed that both he and Dawley will require more time than one session of the court for all they wish to say. Assistant District Attorney Garry’s argument at times was disconcerting to Mrs. Chadwick. Her face was pale and she kept her handkerchief pressed against her mouth, while she listened anxiously to every word he uttered. ‘When Garry finished his argument Mrs. Chadwick appeared much wor- ried. Her son, Emile Hoover, who sat beside her, passed his arm over her shoulders as if to comfort her. She grasped his fingers in an agitated man- ner and twisted them nervously. —_——— WILL AWAIT OPINION FROM THE STATE SUPREME COURT Further Consideration of Adams Gubernatorial Contest Is Postponed Until Next Monday.

The principal speakers were Judge Peter Grosscup of Chicago, President David Wilcox of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company and Inter- state Commissioner Charles A. Prouty. Each commented at length upen President Roosevelt's” views regarding the regulation of interstate commerce | rates. Prouty defended the proposed national legislation. Wilcox vigorous- 1y opposed the interference of the Gov- ernment in the rate question and de- clared it impossible for a small body of men at Washington to properly dictate what the railroad rates of the tountry should be. In conclusion Wilcox said: The remedy lles in the vigorous enforce- ment of existing statutes, whioh will prevent rebates and discriminations and resort by the commission directly to the courts without dila- tory preliminaries, so as to secure expeditious legislation by the only branch of the Govern- ment which is qualified to administer justice and determine rights of property. Judge Grosscup said that he saw se- rioug danger in the whole question un- less it was handled delicately not only by President Roosevelt, but the rall- road men.
