Haleru— What disposition to make of the antl-pa*« law le a problem that la troubling the state officials. It Is not because they do not favor the enact ment of such a law. They are not call ed upon to pasa upon that phaae of the question. It was discovered before the law was submitted to the people that it was fa tally defective, in that it did not con tain an enacting clause. The law books were scanned for some authority to correct the defect, but it was discov ered that it could not l>e corrected or amended. The law on that point was explicit. The constitution says all laws must have an enacting clause, and the Su preme court has decide.i that a law without an enacting clause is void. The secretary of state must submit all measures to a vote of the people that are Hied in his office with the proper numlier of names signed to the petition. He has no authority to pass upon the constitutionality of the pro- posed law, or question its expediency. La Grands— Machinists are busy at the sugar factory overhauling the ma chinery and getting the plant in order for the summer run for the working in to brown sugar of the residue syrup of last year. The m ill expects to start on this run early in July, and w ill con tinue for six or eight weeks, which will bring it almost up to the time when the regular fall run w ill commence, which to meet demands must begin not later than the middle of Heptemher. The pressing need for this unusually early beginning is brought about by the exceptional heavy crop of beets that is expected to he harvested this year and which must lie disposed of before the hard frosts come; therefore an early start is necessary to get all the beets through. Manager Bramwell is enthusiastic on the present prospects for a beet crop. He says: " W e have 4,400 acres of beets this year and at least 4,000 acres of this is a perfect stand. The only difficulty that confronts us is the scarcity of help. We employ all the white help we can and then fill out with the best A LL P O LIC IE S ARE C AN C ELE D . we can get.

Sanator Warran Says Country Is Too Prosperous to Think o f Tariff. Washington, June 29.— Senator War ren made a speech in the senate today on his resolution calling on the director of the census for a statement coveriog the extent of the livestock Industry of the United States and of the foreign business in this country in leather and raw material. He cited the recent agitation concerning this industry as his reason for seeking this information. He confidently asaerted that the state ment wonld show an astonishing in crease and that the product of not leas than 92 , 000 , 000,000 annually, more than the value of alt the gold produced by the United States in the entire his tory of the country. Warren pronounced as unjust and selfish the demand made by the manu facturers lor free bides. He said that while the livestock men do not envy Massachusetts its prosperity they do not desire to add to it by taking off the duty of hide* and wool, and closed an appeal for the continuance of the tariff. " W e are,” be said, “ too busy, too well employed, too well paid for our labor, 100 prosperous to think seriously of tariff revision in the year of our Lord, 1906." FAITH IN TH E BAY C IT Y . Claus Sprecklet Says !t Will Be the Greatest Port on Hemisphere. Chicago, June 29.— ‘ ‘ Han Francisco will soon be Greater Han Francisco in deed as we are in name. Things have settled themselves since our terrible dis aster, capitaists are patting their mon ey into rebuilding and enlarging and in beautifying, and the people general ly are exercising a great degree of con fidence in the city’s future prosperity.” Claus Hpreckles, of Han Francisco, who with bis wife was in San Francisco yesterday, thus expressed himself in discussing the future of his home city. A ll financial interests, he said, al though he spoke especially for the sugar interests, were firm in the belief that Han Francisco would become the largest and most important port of en try in the western hemisphere. "W h en our Oriental trade, already large, has become still larger, and when new modern buildings have sprang up oat of the ruins, as they surely w ill, Han Francisco w ill be a greater city in all ways,” he said. A T T O R N E Y S ARE C ALLE D . Instructions Given fo r Action A gainst Standard Oil. Washington, June 29. — Attorney General Moody had conferences today with Frank B. Kellogg and Charles B. Morrison, who have been engaged as special counsel in the investigation which is being made into the affairs of the Standard Oil company, with a view to ascertaining whether there have been any violations of the anti-trust law. With reference to this it wa< stated today that farther investigation is to be made. The attorney general also held con ferences with some of the district at torneys he had summoned to Washing ton, and it was stated that they were being instructed as to how they should proceed against the 8 tandard Oil com pany. It was also said to be most likely that special grand juries will h* called to determine whether the Standard Oil company has been granted rebates or concessions. Earthquake In Wales. Cardiff, Wales, June 29. — Violent earthquake shocks were felt throughout South Wales at 94:5 this morning. Houses rocked and many of the cheaper ones were damaged. Hundreds of chimneys fell, occupants of dwellings weret hrown to the ground and people Hed from their houses, shrieking in panic, with visions of the San F ran cisco disaster before them. Though there were many narrow escapes from falling chimneys and copings, there were no casualties so far as known. FTarthquake shocks were also felt at Bristol, Ilfracombe and elsewhere. They were accompanied by loud rim - blings. • Earthquake In Ohio. Cleveland, O., June 29.— A shock of felt here at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon is pronounced by Cleveland scientists to have been an earthquake. It is re ported to have shaken the southern shore of Lake Erie for a distance of 100 miles, the eastern lim it being Pinesville and the western lim it Mar blehead. No damage has been re ported, though in some places the shock was sufficient to slam doors and rattle windows. Local scientists be lieve the seat of the seismic disturbance was probably beneath Lake Erie. France Faces Big Deficit. Paris, June 29. — Finance Minister Poincaire intrdouced the budget in the chamber of deputies yesterday showing a considerable deficit in consequence of the extraordinary expenditure for the m ilitary preparations during the Mo roccan crisis, amounting to $60,000,000, and also $30,000,000, owing to in creased expenditure resulting from in ternal reforms. FORM NEW MINISTRI WAVS OF OLD WORLD Spread of Revolt Among Troops America Will Not Lose Anything Alarms Czar and Court. by Comparison. GOVERNMENT IN FEAR OF ARMY HONESTY IS NOT COMMON THERE News From Provinces Shows Gene Everything M ust] Be Put Down in ral Anarchy T o Be Growing- Black and White In European Procurator Gives In. Commercial Life. Ht. Petersburg, June 30. — The cam paign which the oppoeition elements iu parliaments are waging to root pel Emperor Nicholas to dismiss the Go remykin ministry and accept the prin ciple of a responsible ministry prom ises to be successful soon. Both the emperor and the court are frightened into surrender by the alarming spread of revolutionary ideas among the troops. When the Preobrajeneky regiment, " H is Majesty’s Own,” pronounced its solidarity with parliament at Kraano- Helo, less than a dozen miles from the Peterbof palace, the emperor’ s eyes opened and the court began to realize that there was only a step from that to dtclaring allegiance to parliament as acainst the government. Even the procurator general of the holy synod, M. Pobedonoetseff, who to day celebrated his sixtieth jubilee of his entrance into the service of the state, and who has been much at Peter- hof recently, is said to have reversed the position of a life time and to have advised the emperor to yield to the de mand for a responsible ministry as the only means of preserving the throne. The government’ s sudden fear of affronting public opinion, after finding the army affected with the revolution ary propaganda, is shown in the hur ried grant of a new trial to seven men condemned to death at Riga, the ac quittal of six others and the commuta tion of death sentences imposed on the three murders of the foreman of the PutilofI Iron works. The news from the provinces shows that general anarchy is growing. In Altara and Tauride provinces the peas- ar t * are abandoning the fields, and in Tula province roving bands are march ing through the country, dragging in their wake not only the workers from the fields, but the domestic servants of the gentry. Chicago, June 28. — The Berlin cor respondent of the Chicago Daily News cables the following interview with Adolph Kahn, a prominent American business man, on bis observance of business mettods abroad: "European mud-slinging at Am eri can commercial morals, which is now so popular, is hypocrisy of the rankest kind,” said Mr. Kahn. "W id e know- ledge of European methods assures me that a comparison of ethics would de cidedly favor the business men and business practices of the United 8 tates. Representatives of our leading indus trial organizations declare that their daily experiences reveal little of the boasted moral superiority of the Old World. RED C R O SS TH IE F. Superintendent o f Relief Station Steals Blankets and Is Caught. Han Francisco, June 30.— Accused of selling large quantities of blankets and appropriating the money, John Clark, superintendent of the Red Cross relief station No. 1, at Golden Gate pars, and George Bryant, engineer at the children’ s playground in the park, who, it is alleged, aided and abetted Clark, were arrested by detectives today. The police state that they were made aware of the alleged peculations through A. Huggerman, a junk dealer. W hile a refugee in the park, Hugger- man made the acquaintance of Bryant, and after Snggerman had resumed bus iness, it is alleged, Bryant called upon him and said he could sell him a quan tity of new government blankets. Bry ant said he could deliver him 400 pairs, and if the price was satisfactory it wonld lead to a delivery of 800 pairs per week. Huggerman notified the police, who set a trap for the man. After some haggling, a price of $1.25 a pair was agreed upon, and, according to Detec tive Ryan. Bryant handed Huggerman an envelope with Clark’ s name on it, which the teamster was to hand to Clark, so that Clark would know the right man. A wagon followed by the detectives was sent for the blankets today and se cured 400, which are being held as evi dence. Clark was arrested at the relief station, and Cryant at Huggerman’ s store, where he was waiting to receive the money. "O ne of them makes the sweeping assertion that, barring perhaps English men, be would not trust any European merchant, manufacturer or tradesman, unlers the transactions were tied up in formal documents producible in coart. “ Bach things as a ‘ gentleman’ s agreement,’ which is an everyday feat ure of American business, is unknown here. The doctrine of common honesty and mutual trust appears to play no part in European commercial life. Everything must be put down in black and white, and even then there ia a tendency to quibble and crawl. Broad- guage, generous methods and princi ples, characteristic of the beet class of American concerns, are utterly foreign to the European business code.” PA SS E S ARE T O BE LIM ITE D . Rate Bill Conference Will Also Report Pipe Line Amendment. Washington, June 27.— The confer ence on the railroad rate bill tonight resulted in no agreement on that meas ure. The discussion made it clear that the pass provision, which is to be per fected for the action of the committee tomorrow morning, w ill follow closely the lines of the original senate amend ment on that subject. It w ill name certain classes of persons who may re ceive passes and exclude all others. There is also ground for the predic tion that the pipe line amendment w ill be reported exactly aa it was in the last conference report— that ia, the phrase "common carriers” w ill give piece to the word "railroads.” The effect of this w ill be to permit pipe lines to transport the product owned by the owners of the pipe line. Before discussing the two disputed amendments it was decided that the former agreement as to all other points in dispute should stand. This was the first meeting since the rejection of the conference report by the senate on ac count of the pass amendment and the provision relating to pipe lines. Sulphites Used in Sausaaes. Kansas City, June 28.— A chemical analysis of hamburger steaks, bologna sausage, loose sausage, Polish sausage, frankfurters and weinerwursts, bought in the open market from the three lead ing packing companies, has convinced Dr. B.
