It Was Roosevelt’s Advice to the Czar GRANT OF LIBERTY TO DUE TO THE AMERICA BY GILSON GARDNER, Staff Spectaf WASHINGTON, D. GC. Nov. 6.—In granting a re ptative form of government to the Russian people, the omar has followed the urgent advice of President Roosevelt con veyed to him through former Am baswador Cassini and again through Count Witte. The president's part in this mat ter has assumed a new interest in| t light of the sensational news from St. Petersburg The only thing in which the czar | did not take Roosevelt's advice was | as to the time for the concession. Tt was last spring, just previous to Cassini's departure from Wash KILLED While in an intoxicated condition Sunday night, Dennis Henchey, a jeweler, fell on the sidewalk In front of his rooming house, the Alaska Commercial hotel, and was rendered unconsc by the fall. He was taken to his room and, some hours later, was found dead on his bed. ‘The Ballard Food company case was thrown out of court Saturday. The receiver of the company wanted to compel an assessment on the @tockholders in order to raise funds to meet outstanding claims. A number of the creditors have ve hired their claims an attorney to begin directors to force the to pay that claims as it is claimed they contracted them in their official capacity, This case has not yet been set for trial, but will probably come up this term of court.

If not, why not? During the proceedings Tuesday morning before Judge Albertson, in the breach of promise suit brought by Rosena EB. Grover, of Ballard guinet James KB, Zook, mayor Ballard, {t appeared that three out) of perhaps five witnesses had at one time or other been chief executive of the classic suburb to the north If they had not been mayor of the! town, some of them at least had held offices of some kind which entitled them to hang an “X @ handle before their names. It appeared to be the atm of the defense Tuesday morning to make plain that Zook was not worth much more than from §7,000 to $10,000, but the queries propounded by At- torney Hart, for the plaintiff, dur ing crows examination tended to pull down this line of argument It was Indicated by the attorney for the plaintiff that Zook not only owned @ half interest in what ia called one of the best shingle mills in Ballard, but that he also worked in his own mil! as filer or sawyer, thus increasing his daily income from $4 to $7 a day. ZOOK 18 RICH. It Is also shown by the plaintiff that Zook owned property all over the town of Ballard, including sev- eral valuable pieces of both bust- ness and resilence realty. Zook is also said to own real estate In Ta- that he is also owner of at least 10,000 acres of fine tim- ber land. And yot it is the evident intention of the defense to make out of Zook & poor man, and by this very move are weakening their own case, prac- Ueally admitting that he violated the marriage contract entered into by him and Rosena Grover, and by depreciating his holdings trying to got off as cheaply a6 possible. Attorney Hart, for the fair plain- Uff, will prove that the mayor of Ballard is worth at least from §60,- 000 to $60,000, and that ho is fully able, should the case go against him, to pay the $75,000 damages de manded by the jilted girl. “What is the salary of the mayor of Ballard,” the defense ask- NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Bloodshedt is expected at the polls tomorrow ‘The police wield enormous {1 finence, and it is almost certain that they will be active tomorrow. ‘They are for any candidates against Murphy, and will probably show fa- voritiam for Hearst.
