been euolia feelmg of apprehension
in thia aficient city as", exists this
morning', and.it is believed certain
that bet ore .the - day. ends much

in the; city anguish prevails today
and victims of the present regime
are to be found in the lodging homes
of the Jewish quarter.' . '
. One thousand Jewish socialists
aseecbbled " on Sdnday before, the
main prison and demanded that the
bddy .of a Jewish -labor leader who
had died during the -night be deliv
ered to them. .Their . demand was
refused, with the result that - after
listening to "an address by : their
leaders, they , stormed the prison
and carried the enter entrance..
,-i Hurry calls were sent out for
troops and three regiments under
the command of Brigadier-General
Saasanblealz were hurried' to the
rescue of the prison guards. The
commanding officer -ordered the
mob to disperse, and, as it did not
move on quick enough, he ordered
a volley fired, which had a deadly
ettect.
Fiva fell dead at the first fire and
tbea tha mob retreated,1 firing re
vol vers and cursing at the soldiers
as - they ran. - When i the smoke
cleared five dead were found in the
main corridor of the prison while
hospital. After the mob had re
treated , the police got busy and ar
rested more than lUO, among them
being all of the leaders of the social
ist element.

proclamations : appeared at all of
the public places in which the pop

that, following the next overt act
martial law will be proclaimed.
Oregon; April 3. Two attempts
to wreck the sou'thbound overland
From Portland to San Francisco
were made near Albany last" night,
the deed being apparently the work
of wood-be hold-ups. ' Obstructions
were p'aced on the track-: in two
places, both designed to wreck ' the
train, and had the midnight over
land struck either, it would have
been thrown off the track.
A northbound freight ran into
the first obstruction, which consist
ed of a pile of ties. . This was about
9 o clock. The engine dragged one
of the ties for the remarkable dist
ance .of .' 1 rail . lengths, When it
struck the guardrail at a private
crossing, derailing the tender and
one oar; - - "'. .
When 'the overland reached , the
place of the freight wreck it; stop
ped io see if .the track was clear,
and just; afte,r starting again two
shots were fired frjsm near the track.
An attempt waa made to wreck
the overland at Albany two wjeeks
ago, but was not so -well planned as
this one. ; '. ,. j?-j.;v

dscieion in the case of the pearl,
valued at ver $750, found in - her
month by a woman; who,- accom
panled by a male escor t, was eating
oysters . in a reBtaurant. i The wo
man claimed, the pearl and her.' es

propYief or of the restaurant sued to
recover the pearl on ?' the . ground
that ; 'shell', like chicken bones, were
by traditiontleft by customers and
were a source of profit to the pro
prietor. v."
1 he court declares that the Dearl
did not belong to the woman who
found it nor to the proprietor of the
restaurant, but to the man who
paid for the oysters. In rendering
its decision, tha court pointed out
that, if Toe ownershiD of the ' Dear!
were to repose, in the restaurant
proprietor instead of the person
who paid for the oysters, then . its
ownership might as well be carried
back to line oyster dealer who supplied.-

St. Petersburg, April 1. .JFifty
Japanese prisoners of war, . con
fined in the navy-yard at Novgorod
were found dead today by the. Rus
sian guards. They had committed
suicide. r'Ih some instances,. they.
had usedarsehic, but others , had

The prisoners were fretful" ' hd
morose over their being ".confuted

v An official investigation has been.
started to place- the blame for the
suicides.; The war office feels that
the guards were not attentive, oth

Albany, March 31. Paulina
Schmidt, the 6-year-old daughter of
Paul Schmidt, an Albany business
man,; and a former resident of Cor-
vallis, was drowned today in the
(Albany, lhe bo'
4-V wo
touna in
the Cala pooisj 300yards below the
falls, at 4 30 this afternoon, ,in 25
feet of water. - '-
Paulina, with' a small girl com
panion, was playing neat the ditch,
abont 100 , feet .from the branch
which runs into the Calapooia riv
er. .The children were jumping
from a box trough on the bank of
the ditch to . a footbridge which
crosses the canal, and in some man
ner Paulina missed her footing and
fell into "the water. . At . , this place
the water not.used for the Electric
Light & Power Company and the
Albany Water Company is permit
ted to flow' through a branch into
the Calapooia river.
When the little girl fell in, the
Watergate which controls the vol
ume of water in the exhaust ditch
was raised about ten inches, and
the result was a powerful suction
as the water boiled through beneath
the gate. The child was drawn un
der the Watergate and carried down
the chute and over, the falls into
thB" river below. ' . . .
' The water in the- exhaust ditch
flows over a fall of about 35 feet in
the Calapooia, where for ages it has
been eroding the bed of . the river,
until there is a gieat hole of uncer
tain depth there. . Around tha hole
the waters of tha Calapeoia flow in
a maelstrom.; Into this 5 the body
of the little girl, went, and here it
was later, found.
Soon afterrthe unfortunate acci
dent occurred, a large force of men
Was busy searching the ditch, but
without availr Every Inch of the
I001eet between the-gate where the
girl fell in and the falls was drag
ged .unsuccessfully, and attention
was then directed to the waters ot the
Calip'ooia. '; Many " victims have
been claimed byjhe Calipopia river
near Albany in. years past, and it
has always, been difficult to -recover
the bodies.. '.'-;,..'; ..' ; . v i.
Cincinnati, March That J.
Morgan Smith and his wife will re-
eiet extradition to JNew York, where
they have been Indicted for con
spiracy with Nan Patterson, Mrs.
Smith's sister, was made , evident
this afternoon. Mr. Shay, attorney
for the prisoner, secured -two writs
of habeas corpuB from Common
Pleas judge smith, returnable on
Monday, one for' J. Morgan . Smith
and. the other .for t his wife, Julia
PatterBOu Smith. It is alleged in
the writs that the 'Smiths are held
without warrant; .that no -charge
has been placed against , them, and
that there is no authority of law
for the de.tention of either husband
or wife.
. Whga arrested yesterday thetwo
were held simply "on suspicion,'
but today, when it was thought a
writ of habeas corpus wonld be
sought, Chief of Detective Crawford
filed in police court an affidavit
charging Smith and his wife with
being fugitives from justice. Dur
ing the afternoon Detective Quinn,
of New York, who arrested Nan
Patterson last May after the shoot
ing of Young and who is well ac
quainted with the Smiths, called at
the central police station and form
ally identified them as the persona
named in the New York indict
ments. The writs are returnable
before Judge Spiegel in the com
mon pleas court Monday, ,
Before securing the. writs Shay
ra,d. cUe the aftef noon at the
?ollce station and held a long cod-
(ierence witn nis clients, wno met
each other for the first time since
their arrest.
The district attorney's office took
prompt steps today to ascertain
whether J. Morgan Smith, who,
with his wife, Julia, could be iden
tified as the man who bought a re
volver of Hyman Stern, pawnbro
ker, on the night before Caesar
Young was killed. - Smith is the
brother-in-law of Nan Patterson,
the show girl. Hyman Stern, the '
pawnbroker, had been asked to e?r
' o
Smith, but did not. do so. It was
stated at the district attorney's of
fice today that Smith would be
brought to New York and confront
ed by Stern. .
The conspiracy with which Smith
and his, wife are charged with Nan
Patterson is that they tried to ex
tort money from Young on the ba
sis of a false . claim that she was
about to become the mother of a
child for which he would be re
sponsible," . .Assistant District Attorney Rand
said today that when Smith left
New York a few days after the ar
rest of Nan Patterson, they were
met in Hoboken by J. Randolph
Patterson, the father of the show,
girl, whe brought a suitcase filled
w.kto SiWlc4hingi: JChe Smithsj, ;
he said, then disappeared.1 : ' s '
Washington, March 31. Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, accompanied
by her counsel, today had a long
conference with Acting Secretary of
State Adee. In the legal proceed
ings now in progress to which Mrs.
Maybrick is a party, involving
property interests, some obstacle
has been encountered in availing
of Mrs. Maybrick's testimony be
cause of her peculiar legal Btatus.
and she is seeking the good offices
of the state department to procure
from the British government the
papers necessary to habilitate her
in the eye of the law. The state
department will take up the matter
with tha American embassy in
London. .
Topeka, Kan , April 1. Gover
nor Hooh will not grant a pardon

acting as secretary of the Kansas
Gralndealers' Association.
"Mr. Smiley is a miniature Rock
feller," said Governor Hock today,
in discussing the case. "If - hte
methods were to prevail, ' the far
mers of Kansas would have receiv- ;
ed only $20,000,000 for their wheat
this year instead of $60,000,000. I

will protect the men who raise the
wheat."
