RAVING LIKE LUNATICS
Utopian Schemes Can Only Result In
Blood and Flame, Says the
Best-Hated Man In All
the Russiaa.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. General
TTrepoff. commandant of the Imperial Pal
ace, was Interviewed at Peterhof this
evening regarding the situation in Russia.
The train on which the correspondent
went to Peterhof was full of troops, and
the little town swarmed with soldiers.
Oeneral Trepoff's house was guarded by
Armed police, a necessary precaution, in
asmuch as the General is the best-hated
man by the revolutionists, who make no
secret of their intention of assassinating
him at the first opportunity.'
Talking of the general position of af
lairs, General Trepoff deplored the lack
of energy displayed In combating the rev
olutionary movement. It was easy to de
duce from his remarks that he considered
that Premier Goremykln's place was on
the Ministerial bench in the lower house
of Parliament, and that he should be
there, ever watchful and every ready to
reply to his political opponents. The Gen
eral referred in complimentary terms to
the Minister's Intelligence and good inten
tions, qualities, however, not so much
needed as initiative perception and prompt
recognition of the inevitable.
Necessity of Existing Government.
General Trepoff gave the impression
that he realized the necessity and advisa
bility of the existing government, though
lie said that, as far as he knew. General
Goremykin and his colleagues had no im
mediate intention of resigning. Discuss
ing Parliament, General Trepoff said that
at present it was simply being utilized
as a revolutionary center.
"Look t the immunity allowed M. Al
ladin and persons of his stamp," said
the General. "The labor group Is given
practically a free hand by the other par
ties for tactical purposes, forcing the
hand of the government by exaggerating
the strength of the extreme revolutionary
element, but should the moderates come
Into power, they would. In my opinion,
overthrow the extremists, who would then
take their proper places In the political
perspective.
"The prevalent tone of Parliament is
destructive, but I dare believe It will be
come constructive, at least I hope so.
It seems to me that the best solution Is
a Ministry from the Center party, as
being the strongest party. I admit that
the appointment of such a Ministry would
be a great risk, but the risk would be
Justified by the urgency of pacifying.
Order at Any Price.
"Everything reasonable should be done
to restore order by pacific means. If all
these are exhausted then some other
measures may have to be devised."
General Trepoff pointed out that only
political interests and no material Inter
ests are represented in the present Par
liament, and it is the unanimous aim of
Parliament to remove the existing gov
ernmental regime. General Trepoff hoped
that ultimately a more sober spirit would
prevail In Parliament, and that the mul
tifarious Interests of the country would
have due representation. Revolution
aries, he said, must be opposed by sound
common sense, and. above all. with en
ergy, and again energy.
Revolutionaries Control Press.
"The great power of the revolution
aries." General Trepoff declared, "lies in
their control of the press. Political pas
sions are such that the most prudent of
men have lost their heads and are raving
like lunatics over Utopian schemes which
can only result in blood and flame. I can
not deny that the revolutionaries have
won over nearly all the men of talent!
Even If moderate journals should be
founded, their promoters would find no
collaborators.
"Furthermore, you know that the larger
number of papers of St. Petersburg are in
the hands of the Jews, and that most of
the members of Uie staffs are Jews, while
the reporters are generally revolutionary
agitators. Then see to what extent the
Jew is reported in Parliament, and say
what will prevent an upheaval, practically
the work of Jews, through their cunning
provocation of skillfully contrived posing
as innocent victims of a bloodthirsty tyr
anny.
Says Prince TJrusoff Lies.
"I indorse every word of the official re
port regarding Bialystok. When Prince
Urusoff spoke the other day in Parliament
regarding organized Incitement of po
groms. at headquarters, he lied; that Is
all. His calumnies are the outcome of
disappointed ambition. When he came to
make concrete charges he could only cite
two cases of officials who had betrayed
the trust the government had reposed In
them.
"It must not be forgotten that offi
clals in the provinces have been driven to
a state of desperation by frequent mur
ders and other crimes, the instigators of
which they well know. However one rep
robates them, can one wonder that re
prisals should sometimes be made? To
talk of granting complete amnesty now.
when the papers are full of lists of mur
dered officials, and when no one in au
thority is safe from the bomb, the knife
and the pistol, is sheer nonsense.
Believes the Troops Loyal.
Turning to the question of disaffection
In the army, General Trepoff declared pos
itively his conviction that the overwhelm
ing proportion of the troops are implicitly
loyal and never will turn against their
sovereign.
Asked concerning the allegations that
he virtually dictated and that the Minis
try's hands were tied. General Trepoff
said the revolutionaries always were
narplng on this note, in order to discredit
the Ministry and to try to prove that the
Ministers were weaklings possessing no
authority. It was, he said, a fable spread
by enemies of the country the same ene
mies who are filling the ears of the peas
ants wun nes.
The land question," General Trepoff
oiuu. is tne question of questions. Per
sonally, I consider the government's land
proposals quite acceptable. Possibly fur
ther concessions might be made after rea
sonaoie ai6cussion by Parliament. What
is needed more than increased holdings is
an improvement in the system of agricul
ture. The general introduction of this Im
provement will require at least a genera-

ROTTEN STATE OF FINANCES
Admissions of Minister of Finance
Cause a Sensation.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 6 While the
action of the lower house of parliament
today in appropriating $7,500,000 to be
dispensed by the administration, Xor
JEWS AR
LEADERS
famine relief was epochal, as the first
recognition of the Cabinet by Parliament
and the first step in joint work, its im
portance was far overshadowed by the
revelation of alleged admissions made
by Minister of Finance Kokovsoff in the
budget commission about the padding of
estimates for the liquidation of war ex
penses in order to be able to extract a
larger loan from the foreign markets.
These developments made an immense
sensation and were eagerly discussed in
the corridors of the chamber, where it
was declared that if the statements of
the commission members were true it
placed Russian financial methods on a
par with those of mushroom South Amer
ican republics and would undermine the
confidence of foreign financiers in the
old guard now managing Russian finances
and immensely complicate future credit
operations.
All this naturally is fish for the net
of the Constitutional Democrats, who see
in the revelations the brightest prospect
for forcing the transfer of administrative
power to a responsible Cabinet.
All of today s moves 01 tne iuiisiiiu
tional Democrats tend to a realization
of their expectation that they may soon
be entrusted with the full responsibility
of government, unhampered by a bureau
cratic ministry- The speeches of Floor
Leader Naboukoff and others on Thurs
day during the debate on the Sidelnikoff
incident show that the decision to break
with the extremists and Socialists, as
foreshadowed In the recent interview of
the Associated Press with Ivan Petrun
kevitch, has been definitely taken, and
that the party leaders are now looking
forward to constructive work in place
of merely criticism of everything govern'
mental.
LEVER OX THE GOVERNMENT
Democrats Find Way of Loosening
Hold on Purse Strings.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 6. The de
bate In parliament on the Bialystok re
port was adjourned until Monday to
permit the consideration of the Minis
try's bill appropriating $25,000,000 for
famine relief, which developed the sen
sation of the day, showing that the
Constitutional Democrats have finally
found a lever with which to compel the
government to surrender control of the
purse strings, the vital object for
which they have been aiming from the
beginning.
Professor Hertzenstein. chairman ot
the committee which reported the bill
revealed the important fact that M.
Kokovsoff. the Finance Minister, who
appeared before the committee, made
no effort to conceal the desperate linan
clal straits of the government. He in
formed the committee that the condi
tion of the treasury was much worse
than believed and even impeached tne
figures given in this year's budget by
M. Shipoff, as conveying no adequate
idea of the real state of affairs. He said
the government was living far beyond
its means and agreed that it must re
trench, but, he explained, this could
not be accomplished this year, i Here
fore it was necessary to make a fresh
loan to cover the famine relief.
Professor Hertzenstein said tnis was
exactly where the committee took issue
with the Ministry. Parliament, he said
wa3 in favor of a famine relief meas
ure and would give more money if
necessary. But it would never agree to
a new loan, for which in reality there
was no necessity. The budget was filled
with extravagant items and money
could be found by revising the budget.
This method, the committee proposed,
should be coupled with the provision
that the right to make such revision
belonged to Parliament and not to the
Ministry.
M. Kokovsoff, who was present, re
plied to Professor Hertzenstein. The
Minister denied that he had proposed
a fresh loan. He had said only that be
yond the $7,500,000 which it was pro
posed to appropriate immediately, the
treasury had no funds available and
that the sum must be taken temporar
ily from money assigned in the budget
for other purposes. New sources of
revenue to meet the full famine ap
propriatlons must be found, but it was
not in the province of Parliament to
specify the means by which the money
should be raised. That duty fell to the
government finance committee.
When M. Kokovsoff left the tribune
the members of the Left followed him
with cries of "resign," "Go to Sakha
lien," etc., but the Center did not join
in the demonstration.
M. Rodetcheft and other members of
the committee insisted that the budget
must be scaled. The real cause of the
financial straits of the government, M.
Rodetcheft said, was its persistence in
its present political policy. Unless the
government did something to stay the
course of the revolution the state and
nation would be bankrupted. The weak
ness of the state's credit was due to the
refusal of the government to heed the
voice of the nation, as evidence of
which was the fact that prices on the
Bourse rose upon every rumor that
the Ministry intended to resign.
The greatest service the Ministry
could now render the country and peo
ple would be to give way to a respon
slble Cabinet, representing the views
of the majority In Parliament.
Governor of Minsk Removed.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 6. Interior
Minister Stolypin has removed General
Kourloff, the Governor of Minsk.
General Kourloff was held to be respon

PAYS LARGE POLICY
Equitable Had Risk of $149,-
000 on Stanford White.
CONDITION NOT PERFECT
Contract Provided That a Percentage
Should Be Deducted If Death Oc
curred Within a Certain
Period of Time.
NEW TORK. July 6. The widow of
Stanford White was today paid by the
Equitable Life Assurance Society $149,040,
which was the value of a single policy
Mr. White had carried on his life for a
number of years.
There are several policies for compara
tively small amounts issued by the Equi
table on the life of Mr. White, on which
no claim for payment has yet been pre
sented. The face value of the pollciee is
about $65,000. but their value to the bene
ficiarles Is $50,000.
When Mr. White took out these policies
his physical condition was not perfect.
and the contract he made with the ,qul
table provided that if death occurred
within a certain period a deduction of a
stipulated percentage should be made
from the face value of each policy. The
bullet which Harry Thaw fired Into the
architect's brain terminated his life within
the period mentioned in the policies; and
consequently reduced their value.
ALIENIST EXAMINES THAW.
Dr. McLane, Retained by Defense,
Spends Two Hours With Prisoner.
NEW YORK, July 6. Dr. Allen McLane
Hamilton, the alienist, who has been re
tained by the defense, Bpent nearly two
hours with Thaw today. Upon leaving
the prison he said he had examined Thaw
at the request of counsel for the defense.
He would say nothing, however, regarding
the result of the examination.
Ex-Judee Olcott, after reading the state
ment given out today by Chauffeur Burns,
said he wished to deny absolutely that
Mrs. Thaw, since her marriage, had been
a guest of White and had used his auto
mobile. 'There is not one chance in a million of
it being true," said Judge Olcott.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan said
that, although he had examined Burns in
connection with his investigation of the
I'haw-Whlte tragedy, be never had heard
of Mrs. Thaw's rides in White's automo
bile until today. Burns today told him
nothing whatever during the examination
concerning White having entertained Mrs.
Thaw, he said.
WHITE'S CHAUFFEUR TALKS
Architect on Friendly Terms With
Harry Thaw's Wife.
NEW TORK, July 6. Mrs. Harry K.
Thaw's daily visit to her husband in the
Tombs prison was very brief today. She
remained scarcely more than 20 min
utes In the prison, and after leaving
went to the offices of her husband's at
torneys. That Mrs. Thaw and Stanford white
were on friendly terms up to last Sep
tember, Is the assertion made in a signed
statement given out today by. John Burns,
who was employed by White as a chauf
feur. Burns says in his statement that
on two occasions, once In February and
again in September, 1905. the electric cab
whicn he drove was placed at Mrs.
Thaw's disposal by WThite. The first of
these occasions was before her marriage,
the second was five months after. In
each instance, according to the chauf
feur, she was taken from a restaurant to
her hotel, and In neither case did White
accompany her.
Burns says that he was engaged by
White in the latter part of June. 1905.
to drive his electric cab between the
hours of 5 P. M. and 3 A. M., and con
tinued in his employ until the latter part
of September of that year. The use of
the electric machine was discontinued at
that time, he says, because of the per
sistent following of the cab by men rid
ing bicycles, on foot, and also hansoms,
runabouts and automobiles.
"In those nine months," says Burns,
"taking out the time Mr. White was in

Europe and Canada, my employer never
once entered the electric hansom in the
company of a woman other than Mrs.
White, whom he frequently took to Sher
ry's for dinner.
"The first time I ever saw the present
Mrs. Thaw was in February, between 12
and 1 o'clock In the morning, standing
with a company of men and women on
the sidewalk in front of Rector's. Mr.
White escorted her to the machine and
put her in, saying to me: 'Take this lady
home and then come right back for me.'
"Several weeks later I took Mr. White
to a restaurant in West Twenty-sixth
street. Hardly had Mr. White reached
the sidewalk when a hansom approached
from Broadway, pulled up, and Miss Nes
blt jumped to the sidewalk and ap
proached Mr. White, saying as she held
out her hands, 'Hello, Stanny, how 'have
you been?'
"Mr. White shook hands. He seemed
anxious to get up the stoop. They talked
for a few minutes and he bade her good
night. He then turned into the restau
rant and she got back Into her hansom
and was driven off.
"The second time Miss Nesbit rode In
Mr. White's cab was in the latter part of
September, after his return from Europe
I had gone to Rector's to get him from a
dinner. He came out on the sidewalk
with three men besides himself and two
women, one of whom was Miss Nesbit.
" 'Take these women home. Johnnie.' he
said to me. I never once took Mr. White
to his studio In Madison Square Garden
tower in the company of a woman, and I
never saw a woman enter there."
Denial From Actress' Mother.
PITTSBURG, July 6. Mrs. Charles J.
Hdlman, mother of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw,
broke silence today for the first time
since the killing of White, and in a short
fact, and Cohan sent me a wire saying
that he would not finish the play. I
answered that he was relieving me of a
responsibility that I was happy to lose.
Mr. Erlanger was very nice about it. Mr.
Cohan is a clever little fellow. But he
got off somewhat wrong in this instance.
The less said about it the better. I have
my own plans for myself, and I think that
I can carry them out.
Hi OU would be Interested in the
origin of "When We Were Twenty-One."
Esmond was down at my place
In England, 'Deadwood,' and he had been
greatly taken with an episode in the last
act of 'An American Citizen,' where the
star shows great affection for a boy. That
little touch struck him hard. He spoke of
it several times, and said he would like
to combine it with a story he had In
mind. De Wolf Hopper was there with us
at the time. I asked him to stay a month
and write the thing out. He did
so, and 'When We Were Twenty-One'
was the result. The club scene
killed the thing In England, for the people
over there know just what It means it
means that the demi-monde goes to those
supper clubs after the closing hours of
the public houses, etc., to meet men. I
had to change it for production in Eng
land, and substitute the scene In the
Fire Fly's flat. In America the people
only knew that the scene was unwhole
Bome. But they did not penetrate the
full meaning of the situation, so it was
not so objectionable. It was Esmond's
crucial point. He thought lots of that
club scene. He did not want to leave It
out.
f IHE GENIUS' is a farcical play
I good, strong, takes well. But
'When We Were Twenty-One is a real

"The way I came to secure 'The Genius'
was unusual. Unusual things take one's
fancy yes."
Nat Goodwin, if we adhere to his story,
bought "The Genius" (it was called "The
Genius and the Model" at first) in order
to stop people talking to him about it.
"First off, some one asked me if I want

Mr. Goodwin continued.

"This was Sam Schubert. I remem
ber now. He first spoke to me of It.
The Miss Goodrich who is now playing
the leading woman role in it had the
play then. Schubert wanted me to join
with him and put the play on. I said
that I was under Mr. Erlanger's direc
tion that I wanted nothing underhand
about matters that I, of course, was In
the market to buy plays when I saw
fit but that he was to keep quiet
about it until I got home. A few days
after that I heard about my intentions
from four or Ave different sources in
New York. So I called the thing off en
tirely so far as Schubert went.
"Next, some of us were at the club
somewhere and one of my business

play 'The Genius and the Model?'

seem to appreciate it, and I am

before of their approach, and had re
marked that he was going to bed. It
was 11 o'clock in the morning and he
thought he had been staying up rather
late. They had held the train Thurs
day night 40 minutes at Seattle in order
to bring him to Portland after the

faithfully, and his baggage was at
the Portland Hotel. He was sitting up
rather late, as it was, and he had an
opening at the.Heilig Theater the same
evening. So he needed a little rest.
