The Italian histo- rian points out that between jarring conceptions of state duty he is calling his people back to primitive simplicity, while at the same time aiming at terri- torial and commercial expansion. “Only a short time ago,” says Fers rero, “Roosevelt edited for his Yankees, exactly as Augustus did, an old speech of Metellus Macedonicus on augmenting the population. He frowned down celi- bacy, sterility, the frequency of di- vorces, and all the vices and egoisms of civilization tottering under wealth.

POt Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Jan. 6.—British feeling as to the forthcoming Moroccan conference os- cilliates between the serenity born of the statement of Moret, the Spanish Premier, that all the powers will endeavor to reach a pacific outcome, and the alarm aroused by the cablegrams from Wash- ington representing American officials as belleving that both France and Germany have been secretly increasing the effi- clency of their armies of late, Sir Edward Grey, the new Foreign Secretary, is rapidly adjusting himself to the situation, and the Berlin explana- tion that the Lansdowne policy, which was pro-French, would be modifiled by the Liberal administration, has not been met. It is thought here that if the dis- cussions at Algeciras show Germany in- clined to refuse France her rights the American delegates, White and Gum- miere, will tender their best offices, and that President Roosevelt, rather than see the conference collapse, will intervene in what & London evening sheet calls ‘“‘an- other divinely inspired mediation.” Long-headed diplomacy in London con- tinues to belleve that the considerations against war—considerations of dynasty and commerce—are so patent that the | German Emperor will avold it, provided the proceedings af Algeciras do not spell humiliation for Germany; but as he con- stitutes himself the supreme judge of | these delicate matters the prophecy is | of little value. | Europe is coming to the conclusion that the Emperor is not g0 much of a diplo- matist as he is a soldler, and that he has found it out. In the political fleld his reign has been a succession of folled am- bitions and disappointments. His army is larger by a million men than when he came to the throne, and he has been able to keep it at the Moltke level of ef- ficlency. Already he regards his navy as a match for any in the world save Eng- land’s, and with words of peace in his mouth and infinite palaver for America and Russia he is pushing on with naval construction that will cost more than | $800,000,000. “If we could discern & clearly defined object for this mighty armament,” says M. Clemenceau in the Aurore, ‘‘we would feel easier than in our suspicion that the Emperor, having found that he cannot get new territories in Europe or colonles abroad by peaceful means, is intending to strike somewhere with the mailed fist when the suitable opportunity is offered. For Germany must get new flelds by falr means or foul, and if not in South Brazil or South America, where?” M. Clemenceau has placed his finger on the vital spot in the Morocco contro- versy. Germany's chief desire is fgr col- onies in temperate zones; but she cannot ignore the tropics, and the German col- ony party loudly demands a footing In Morocco. It is well understood hers that the wrath of the German colony is maln- Iy against Great Britaln. Without the ald of Great Britain France would not venture to resist the Teuton in the hour of Russian collapse. INSURANCE SOLICITOR TAKES HIS OWN LIFE Carl A.

Heesch lies dying at the Park | Emergency Hospital, where he s at- tended by Dr. Willlam H. Lawlor. Heesch,was a patient at the German Hospital. Yesterday he left there with- out the knowledge of the attendants. At 4:40 p. m. he was found lying uncon- | scious near the intersection of the south | drive and Ninth avenue by Policeman | Harrington. He was removed to the Park | Hospital, where it was found that he was | fatally hurt. The ball had passed through | the skull. £ | On Heesch’'s person was found a note | which told of untold suffering experienced by the writer from cancer of the stomach. By his side lay a mirror, which he used in aiming his pistol. In a memorandum | book, tucked away beneath the cover, was a small cross bearing the words, “Gott mitt air.” 3 The German Hospital authorities were not aware of Heesch's absence until 8 o'clock last night, when they ‘were in- | formea of his attempt at sulcide. Dr. | Parsons of the hospital staff was treat- |ing Heesch for cancer of the stomach. He says Heesch refused to be operated upon. . The deceased was 50 years of age, single and lived in Berkeley. ————————— HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET AT ST. FRANCIS HOTEL San Francisco Lumber.

A MAKES OFFER T0 PRESIDENT J. B. Harris of California Thinks He Can Solve Pana- ma Canal Labor Problem PR T SUBMITS A PROPOSITION ‘Would Employ the Natives of Mexico and Central Ameri- ca to Carry Out the Work Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, ‘WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.—J. B. Harris of California, who claims to have bullt more miles of rallroad than any other man in the world, called at the White House to-day, and made a proposition to the President which Harris ‘believes will solve the labor problem of the Panama canal. Harrls declares that the Jamaica negro now being used on the canal Is the most worthless laborer liv- ing. He stated that the natives of Mex- ico and Central America, who have gen- erally been regarded as the least sat- isfactory, are the best laborers in the world for the canal work. The propo- sitlon made by Harrls is as follows: “I will furnish you all the common labor you require in building the Pana- ma canal on the following guaranteed conditions: Wages not less than $1 gold per day, paid weekly; houses with water-tight roof; food consisting most- 1y of corn, beans and pork sold at rea- sonable prices, or the men to have the right of importing the same; ordinary poliee protection; permission to bring thelr families or leave to visit their familles. They are mostly married men with families. For myself I expect a reasonable remuneration, also to be properly accredited that I may stand well with the Governments, that I may be able to lead men out of their coun- try and away from their homes.” In discussing the subject Harrls sald: “The natives of Mexico and Central America are law-ablding and industrious, healthy, strong, obedient, quiet, easily managed, efficient and reliable in every way. They are difficult of approach and distrustful of strangers, and it is hard to gain their confidence, but they are loyal and faithful in friendship when they know a man. As laborers they usually bufld their own homes and furnish their own food. “I bullt the Jackson and Great North- ern Railroad with negroes of that vicin- ity. I bulit portions of the Central Pa- cifio, Northern Pacific and Southern Pa- cific rallways with Chinese labor. I built the Havana and Matanzas Rallroad on the island of Cuba with native negroes. I superintended all the work that was done by the Maritime Canal Company in Nicaragua, using Jamalca negroes. I built the Guatemala Central Ralilroad from the coast to the capital over the Cordllleras with the natlve labor of Mex- fco and Central America. “My experience is that the Jamaica and West Indian Island negroes are the most indifferent, unreliable and worthless of all men that I have éver worked and that the natives of Central America and Mexico are the best.” ————————— RAILROAD UNDER MARTIAL LAW. Condition o7 Anarchy Prevalls Along the Siberian Line. ST. PETERSBURG, .Jan. 6.—On account of the serlous condition of affalrs on the Siberian Rallroad, many stations of which are in & condition of anarchy, sev- enteen districts through which the line passes from the Ural Mountains to Lake Baikal, a distance of 1800 miles, have been placed under martial law. The Prefect of Rostoff-on-Don, Count Pillar von Pilhau. has been dismissed. General Dracheffski. who was retired from the management of the Finnish Railroad on the demand of the Finns when their reforms were granted, suc- ceeds Count von Pilhau. The report of Senator Kuzminsky, who investigated the massacre at Odessa, finds no epecific proof that they. were organ- ized by the authorities. Yet, it is pointed out, the withdrawal of the police and troops on October 21 was a provocative act and the report recommends the dis- missal of four captains of police, seven lieutenants, twelve sergeants and nine- teen patrolmen. The report did not pass upon the guilt of M, Meidhart, the Pre- fcct of Police of Odessa, who already had been relleved. The preparation of the lists of electors has begun. More than 70,000 persons of the taxpaying classes have already reg- istered in St. Petersburg. The members of the workmen’'s and Socialists’ organ- ization, In obedience to orders to boycott the elections, are refraining from regis- tering. In one district only six of the workmen's classes have registered. The League of Leagues has decided to make no declaration relative to the par- ticipation of the workmen in the elec- tion. All the factories, mills and other in- dustrial enterprises closed to-day for the holidays. The employers, at a general meeting, decided not to open thelr estab- lishments in view of the threats of dis- order, until after January 22, the an- niversary of ‘“red Sunday.” RS IR .RELIEF COMMITTEE’S WORK. Sum of $2,202,652 Distributed to Fami- lies of Jews, NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—The National Committee for the rellef of the Jewish Bufferers in Russia recelved yesterday from the International Committee in Lon- don a copy of the report the commission- ers sent to Russia to distribute the relief fund collected in the United States and in Europe. \ The report shows the commissioners” work from November 22 to December 10. Up to date the emissaries had granted for distribution $2,202,652 in the cities of Odessa, Moscow, Krementchug, Eliza- bethgrad, Rostof-on-Don, Kieff, Homel, Poltava and Ekaterinoslav. The Odessa. district, according o the report, suffered more than any of the others, forty-eight massacres having oc- curred there. In the Kieff district out- breaks occurred in forty towns and vil- lages, ruining about 11,500 families. The commission belleves that a reaction of the outrages on the Jews is not unlikely. It was agreed with all local committees that Christians who had come to harm in defending Jews should be assisted on the same basis as the coreligionists of the commissioners. Important rules were .adopted by the commission to guide it in its work, three of which were: As far as possible, the prevention of emigration; no purely elee- mosynary assistance; immediate grant of sufficient assistance to make the sufferers self-supporting.

TOKIO, Jan. 6.—Japan's foreign trade for 1906 was unprecedented, the rts totaling $244,000,000 and the rts $160,600,0 R ; ONESTATE PLAN IS NOT LIKED Arizonans Voice Their Senti- ments at a Rousing Mass- Meeting Held in Tueson R o st SPEAKERS ARE CHEERED Resolutions Declaring Citi- zens Are Opposed to Union With New Mexico Adopted TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 6.—In response to & call jssued by ¢he executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce, the opera house was crowded to-night with an im- mense audience that cheered to the echo speeches denouncing joint statehood with New Mexico. M. P. Freeman, president of the Consolidated National Bank, pre- slded. The principal address was made by Mayor Rose of Milwaukee, president of the Twin Buttes Mining Company and Tucson Buttes Ralilroad of Arizona. Nearly all the principal business men of Tucson had seats on the platform. Epes Randoiph, who it is claimed repre- sents more vested interests and more capital engaged in the development of territorial Industries than any other man in Arizona, proposed the following res- olutions, which were adopted unanimously by a rising vote: “Misleading reports have been sent out from this eity to the effect that a large portion of the population of this city are in favor of the admission of Arizona and New Mexlico into the Union as one State, and in truth and in fact the great mass of the people of Tucson are now, as they have ever been, unaiterably opposed to the destruction of the identity of Arizona and her admission Into the Unlon with New Mexico as one State. “Resolved, That we declare that the great body of the people of Tucson are, as they ever have been, loyal to the Teritory of Arizona, and that they have always been and still are utterly and unalterably op- posed to joint statehood with New Mexico, and they believe that such & unlon with New Mexico would be de- structive to the progress of Arizona and detrimental to the prosperity, peace and happiness of her people. “We denounce the reports sent out froma Tuscon to the effect that public sentiment in this city s In favor of Joint statehood as false and as a base reflection upon the intelligence and pa- triotism of our people. “We thank the Senators and Repre- sentatives in Congress who are stand- ing by Arizona and warding off the impending danger that now threatens our Territory by joint statehood with New Mexico.” PPOINTIIENT BPECTED SOON Lawyers Think That Vacancy on Supreme Bench Will Be Filled at an Early Day Governor Pardee is in San Francisco, but expects to return to Sacramento this evening. The immediate appointment of some well-known lawyer to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy on the bench caused by the death of Justice Van Dyke would not create surprise. It is a well- known fact that Chief Justice Beatty and | his associates desire that delay may be avoided in the selection of some one to fill the vacant place. Reports are to the effect that the Governor-has made up his mind in regard to the selection, but would be pleased to hear that the “man in mind” is quite acceptable to the court. Before leaving the city the Governor will doubtless know what the Chief Justice thinks of the slated appointee. Lawyers recail the gossip that the Gov- ernor and the Chief Justice, at the sug- gestion of the former, exchanged views as to the merit and availability of quite a number of aspirants for the Court of Ap~ peal, but when 'the appointments were made it was found that the lawyers in- dorsed by the Governor rather than those suggested by the Chief Justice were in the majority on the list of appointed. The talk under the palms of the Palace court and the whispers at the Union League Club convince many that the Judge slated for the Supreme Court is not a Justice of the Appellate Court. Judge Edward Sweeney of Shasta is men- tioned. Judge Max Sloss of San Francisco and Judge A. G. Burnett of Santa Rosa are spoken of. It is said that either would be acceptable to Chief Justice Beatty and his associates. Word comes from Southern California that neither Justice Gray nor Justice Allen is ambi- tious to serve on the Supreme bench. The successor of Justice Van Dyke, should he be elected by the people to fill out the unexpired term, would have only four years to serve. In each of the three appellate districts one of the Justices to be chosen at the next election will serve twelve years, one eight and one four years. Lots will be cast by the elect for the long, short and intermediate terms. One of the three in each district will be elected to the office of Presiding Judge. The ballot will designate the candidate for that office, but the Presiding Judge must take his chances in the lottery for terms with his associates. i The wrath of the workers in the Union Labor party, which was provoked to a bolling degree by the selection of old- time exponents of the political push for the fat places under the Schmitz-Ruef municipal regime, shows no sign of cool- ing off. Vengeance on the betrayers of the faithful in the Union Labor ranks is demanded. Comment is made that an ex- policeman who was dismissed from the force for cowardice is favored with a good place, while worthy boilermakers and carpenters/get the “turn down.” Among the statesmen at the Palace Ho- tel yesterday was J. O. Hayes of Santa Clara County, who will be a formidable candidate for Governor provided a ma- jority of the delegates to the Republican State Convention declare in favor of his nomination. ¥ ————————— Praise for American Judge.

Stone, medi- cal superintendent of the Napa State Hospital for the Insane, has given to the press a letter he wrote to Governor Pardee last October in answer to the charges filed against the conduct of fairs at the hospital. He denies that he has discharged employes for being union men, but states that all of the men let out have lost their places on account of Insubordination, drunken- ness, stealing and brutality to patients.
