1,500,000 UNEMPLOYED. I
Great Britain Detailing Troops to
Meet Starving Subjects.
LONDON, Sept. 21. Maddened by
suffering, over 1,500,000 of Great
Britain's unemployed have become
little better than savages during the
past few days Bnd the authorities of
the kingdom are at a Iosb for means
with which to cope with a situation
that daily becomes more menacing.
Riots occur daily in all the larger
cities. Public buildings have been
stormed in Beveral places by crowds
of men and women demanding that
the authorities furnish them with
work or with shelter and food.
Services were broken up yesterday
in cyclones of disorder at the cathed
rals at Canterbury, Manchester, Nor
wich and Glasgow by denunciations
from the starving worklngmen of the
wealthy congregations' indifferences
to the destitution about them.
From Manchester, Liverpool, Sun
derland, Glasgow, Newcastle, Brad
ford, Sheflield, Hull and Grimsby,
25,000 "hungry marchers" are on
their way now to Northampton,
where they expect to unite and throw
themselves upon the authorities'
hands and demand relief.
Admitting that they are unable to
cope with the situation, the police at
dozens of manufacturing centers have
?alled for military assistance to put
down the riots which have already
occurred and have given wnrninng
that the winter will so aggravate the
situntion that the presence of troops
may be continunlly needed to prevent
general uprisings of the poor.
All over, the country bodies of
soldiers are being stationed at strat
egic points to be ready for out
breaks. President John Burns of the local
government board will ask for $1.
500.000 and heavy loans for public
Improvements when parliament as
sembles later in the autumn, to re
lieve the widespread distress and
provide employment for the idle.
The board of trade today esti
mates England's pauper class at 928,
071. This is one pauper for every 38
of the population of the entire coun
try. The percentage of paupers in
London Is even larger, being one In
31.3, or more than three per cent.
The board of trade's statistics do
not include the hundreds of thous
ands who are usually employed but
who have had little or no work in
the last year and are now almost on
the verge of starvation.
I'HAY BEFORE LAWMAKERS.
'rohihif ionlNts Make Demonstration
in Indiana Legislature.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 21.
The abstinence forces of Indiana
made a notable demonstration here
today when more than 1000 of the
crusaders assembled in the lobby of
the State House and knelt In prayer
for the passage of the county local
option bill.
The demonstration was arranged
by the Anti-Saloon League and those
present included ministers, Sunday
school teachers and others, many wo
men being In the crowd. Three cars
brought to the city the ministers of
the Methodist conference at Shelby
ville, who went direct to the State
House and took part in the exercises.
Every delegation that came to the
city marched to the governor's of
fice and cheered the executive.
The meeting in the rotunda of the
capital was spectacular and at the
same time deeply Impressive. All
the workers present wore white rib
bons pinned on the InpclB of their
coats and on these ribbons was print
ed In large letters, "We Want County
Local Option."
Several ministers made speeches,
explaining their presence and snying
that they came because Crawford
Fairbanks, president of the Terre
Haute Brewing company; Albert
Lleber. president of the Indianapolis
Brewing company, and others of their
kind were at the head of a lobby to
prevent the passage of a local option
bill and it became the Christian duly
of men In the church to counteract
such influence if possible.
After the prayer meeting the work
ers distributed themselves among the
senators and representatives who are
known, or Bupposcd to be, opposed
to the bill. Twenty or 30 workers
would surround a senator or repro
sentatlve and ply him with questions
so fast that It would almost bewilder
him to keep up with the interrogator
ies. Some of the men thus cornered
wore pitiful expressions and deemed
anxious to get away, but they were
met by other crowds of workers as
fast as they escaped, and two or three
of them fled from the state house in
! desnair.
What the workers accomplished, if
' anything, did not become apparent
todav. as the session of me nous
passed without any reference to local
; ootlon. but in the senate the dual
feature was cut out of the Antl-Sa
loon League's hill, and it was passed
to a second reading.
1 Only one republican spoke on the
: bill and It was advanced by a strict
party vote, 35 democrats to M repun
licans.
HEARS NICKELL'S APPEAL.
Land Fraud Defendant Will Know

PORTLAND, Or.. Sept. 21. After
hearing arguments in three nppeal
cases, the United States circuit court
of appeals for the ninth district yes

tember term of court for this district

During the aftemoou the court
heard arguments on a motion for a

sions implicating Nickell and Hoge
and resulting In their conviction July
27, 1906. Hoge wns sentenced to
four months in the Multnomah coun
ty jail and to pay a fine of $500.
After completing his sentence, Hoge
took the "pauper oath" and was lib
erated. Nickell appealed his case
and was granted a rehearing by the
Court of Appeals last May.
In tho argument for a rehearinr
the only question presented wni
whether or not the court erred it
ruling upon the admission or ex
elusion of evidence or the Instruc
Hons to the jury as they wore affect
ed by the decision of the llnltoi'
States Supreme Court In the J. N
Williamson case. At the close oi
the arguments the court took tin
case under ndvlsement.
Nickell and his associates won

make entry on timber lands, repre
senting that they were in a posit lor
to sell the timber at 50 cents a thou
sand. The nlleged conspirators are
accused of having charged the entry
men a fee of $125 as a commission
an advance fee of $t!0 being required
The quartet was indicted following
the discovery by the government that
they did not Intend to do any more
towards securing the land for thr

WANTS INVESTIGATION NOW
Democratic Nominee Resents Veiled
Accusation Tbat Standard Is

Special to tho Evening Review.
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 22 W. J.
llrynn today Bent a telegram to Presi
dent Roosevelt, demanding that the
president prove his chnrgos thnt Gov
ernor Chns. N. Haskell, of Oklahoma,
national treasurer of the democratic
party, is connected with the Standard
Oil Company and thnt the company
Is backing the democratic campaign.
The telegram is the result of the
statement made last week at Saga
more Hill, when the president, In cal
ling upon the voters of the country
to elect Taft, referred to the open
charge made by Wm. R. Hearst, in a"
speech at Columbus, thnt Haskell
acted b an agent for John D. Arch
bold, of the Standard Oil Co., In of
fering a bribe to Attorney General
Monnott of Ohio to discontinue the
prosecution against tho oil trust in
that stato.- In his telegram to Presi
dent Roosevelt, Mr. Bryan says:
"In the statement given out by
you, you endorse the charge against
Haskell that he was once employed
by tho Standard In the attempted
bribery of Monnett. In this you at
tack the democratic party and its can
didate, saying Haskell 'stands high in
the councils of Bryan.' The charge
is so serious thnt I cannot allow It
to pass unnoticed. Haskell demands
an Investigation now. I agree wilh
you that If ho Is guilty he Ib unlit
to ho connected with the democratic
committee; and I think you will
agree with me that If he Is Innocent
he doscrvcB to he exonerated from so
damning an accusation."
' Haskell declares that the party
mentioned In Hearst's letter at Co
lumbus is another Haskell, although
tho Initials are the same as his own.
Ho stntes further that he was exon
erated of the chnrge of being con
nected wilh the Standnrd by Monnett
during his campaign for the gover
norship of Oklahoma. Monnett has
not confirmed thiB latter statement,
howevor, but hae openly declared
that before he will make a speech
In behalf of Bryan's candidacy, Has
kell must clear himself and account
for a contribution of $300,000, which
Is alleged to havo come from the
Standard.
At noon today, Mr. Bryan addres
