ROMANOFFS WILL
COME OUT AHEAD
Sell Land to Peasants and
Clip Six Per Cent In- .
terest Coupons.
SAVE COST OF MANAGING
Great Scheme to Secure Income for
Czar and Grand Dukes and Wean
Peasants From Adherence
to the Revolution.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24. It was
explained by Finance Minister Kokovsoff
to the Associated Press today that the
bigf project for the distribution of 25,000,000
acres of land among the peasants, on
which the government has decided imme
mlately to embark and from which great
hopes of measurably appealing to the
discontented peasantry have been built,
does not involve any charge on the treas
ury. The peasant bank will issue, in ex
change for land, two species of scrip.
With a view to preventing a flood of pa
per breaking the money market too heav
ily before it can be absorbed, a nomi
native scrip bearing 6 per cent Interest
will Be issued, the venders agreeing not
to place It on the market before five
years, while only 5 per cent debentures
will be issued, payable to bearer.
Romanoffs Come Out Ahead.
The Emperor and the Grand Dukes will
accept the nominative scrip, and in effect
the imperial family will simply convert
Us land holdings into 6 per cent securities
and be relieved of all the expense of man
agement of crown lands and appanages,
which at present absorbs a large share of
their revenues.
The period of amortization through In
stallment payment by the peasants has
not yet been fixed. Until redeemed, the
debentures and scrip will constitute a
blanket mortgage.
Win Peasants From Socialism.
In the process of the distribution of this
land all the energy of the government
will be devoted to the dissolution of the
existing communistic system, which now
covers two-thirds of the peasant hold
ings, and allotments to the peasantry in
severalty, in order to Instill respect for
the principle of private property. If suc
cessful, the government confidently ex
pects the peasantry will become conserva
tive and set their faces against Sooinllstlo
dreams of the nationalization of land.
KEEP VP FIGHT OX REBELS
Cabinet Will Not Relax Efforts All
Elections Same Day.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 21. At a pro
tracted session of the Cabinet this even
ing the conclusion was reached that, in
view of the existing conditions, any ..re
laxation in the rigor of the government's
policy Is utterly out of the question and
that It is necessary to continue the battle
against the revolutionary forces with all
the means at command.
It also was decided that the elections
for members of Parliament should be
held on the same day throughout the
empire Instead of over a period of several
weeks, as was the case in the former
elections. In order to prevent the oppon
ents of the government from concentrat
ing their efforts in various districts of
the country In succession.
AH the Ministers were Instructed to
prepare and have ready for submission
not later than September 14 the projects
of necespary legislation, which will be
illvlded Into two categories, the first
those which are urgent and should be
enacted immediately in the form of tem
porary laws or administrative edicts, and
the second such as will require to be
published by the Cabinet before submis

President Orders Reform in
Printing 300 Words. .
INDORSES SPELLING BOARD
All Messages and White House Docu
ments to Be Spelled According to
New System Departments
May Follow Suit.
OYSTER BAY, Aug. 24. -President
Roosevelt has Indorsed the Carnegie spell
ing reform movement. He issued orders
today to Public Printer Stillings that
hereafter all messages from the President
and all other documents emanating from
the White House shall be printed in ac
cordance with the recommendations of the
spelling-reform committee, headed by
Brander Mathews, professor ot English
at Columbia University. This committee
has published a list of 300 words in which
the spelling Is reformed. This list con
tains such words as "thru" and "tho,"
as the spelling for "through" and
"though."
The President's, official sanction of this
reform movement is regarded as the most,
Governor Frank M. Higgln. of New
York, candidate for renomlnatlon.
effective and speediest method of inaugu
rating the new system of spelling
throughout the country. Not only will
the printed documents emanating from
the President utilize the reform spelling,
but his correspondence also will be spelled
in the new style. Secretary lxeb has
sent for the list of 300 words which have
been reformed, and upon its arrival will
Immediately order all correspondence of
the President and of the executive force
of the White House spelled in accordance
therewith. As the spelling reform commit
tee shall adopt new reforms, those will
be added to the President's list and also
that of. the Public Printer.
While the order to the Printer today
does not contemplate an immediate re
form in the spelling of official documents
from the executive departments In Wash
ington, it is regarded as more than likely
that the respective heads of the depart
ments will fall in line with the Presi
dent's ideas and have their official docu

LONDON PAPERS ALL PROTEST
Don't Believe Reform Will Go.
Spelling Congress Proposed.
LONDON, Aug. 25. President Roose
velt's decision to adopt the reformed spell
ing in his messages and executive corre
spondence is commented on by the news
papers of London this morning in any
thing but a sympathetic spirit. The
Standard bluntly declares that the Presi
dent overrates his powers, adding that
It declines to believe that scholarly and
cultivated Americans will sacrifice the his
I :r:
tory and meaning of the language b
adopting the "Carnegie Jargon."
Other newspapers deal with the matter
in a humorous vein. The Dally News
points out that. If American publishers
wish to invade the British market, they
should be conservative in their orthog
raphy. The Chronicle, which has more sym
pathy with some of the changes, says:
"Whether we like the new spelling or
not, it probably will be forced upon us,
because the United States Is coming more
and more into control of the printing
presses of the English-speaking world. If
only President Roosevelt can establish uni
formity in America- on the lines he pre
scribes, the new spelling will likely bo
come dominant In Great Britain, but, as
he Is strong, he might have been merci
ful and summoned an Anglo-American
Congress to endeavor to arrive at an
agreement on a comon mode of spelling,
so that the President's English and the
King's English would be the same."
GREAT SHOCK IN WASHINGTON
Department Officials Can't Believe
They Must Reform.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24. (Special.) No
official notice of the President's contem
plated phonetic spelling reform In the
Government departments has been re
ceived in Washington. While several
heads of the departments are personally
in favor of the proposed change, others
do not look upon It with much favor.
They believe It will occasion confusion.
In the War, State and Navy Depart
ments, the news was received with In
credulity. Officials, high and low, re
fused to discuss tho movement openly un
til Informed through the official channels.
In these departments, more thnn In any
other branches of the Government, the
"no-talk" rule prevails.
It Is in the Department of Stntn that
the neworder of spelling might have far
reaching effects. Frr Instance, if trea
ties and other communications between
the United States and Britain should be
embraced in the President's order, thi
British Government might be perplexed.
Such documents would probably bo made
out In two sets, one In the English man
ner of spelling, and one in the new Ameri
can fashion. Officials today, however,
contented themselves with saying these
things could be worked out later, when
emergencies arise.
There Is an intimation that 'Congress
will resent any attempt to change the
spelling even of executive documents in
the Record.
EDUCATORS INDORSE MOVE
Majority of Portland Teachers Say
Spelling Should Be Simplified.
President Roosevelt's move for sim
ple spelling appears to have the in
dorsement of Portland educators quite
generally. Nearly all of those seen
last evening- commended the change,
saying the culling out of unnecessary
letters is bound to prove a great bene
fit and improvement.
Frank J. RIgler, City Superintendent
of Schools, while favoring the changes
indorsed by the president, does not be
lieve the time is ripe for the installa
tion of the system in public schools.
"I would not favor any such change
in our schools at this time.'1, said Pro
fessor RIgler. -I think the English
language is very much in need of sim
plification as regards spelling, yet the
school is not the place for beginning
such a change. Orthodox . or estab
lished spelling systems must be pre
served in the schoolroom.
T. T. Davis, principal of the High
School, held a different opinion. While
not having given the matter a great
deal of thought. Professor Davis said
he was not inclined to look with favor
upon the Innovation.
"In a general way I would say that
in my opinion we had better leave the
language as it is. I have not devoted
a great deal of thought to the subject,
but am inclined to believe that chang
ing the language would not im
prove it."
"It's a movement in the right direc
tion, I believe," said Dr. J. W. Hill,
p'rinclpal of the Hill Military Academy.
English spelling is an accident large
ly. It has been revised many times,
and the modern tendency is towards
the shorter forms of spelling. Of
course, the present reform will -move
slowly. But in time the academies will
have to take it up."
"I approve of the simpler forms of
spelling, provided it is not carried too
far." said S. U. Downs, principal of the
Williams-Avenue School.' "Modified
spelling- lias been In use for some time
by many people and I shall be glad
when the change is general. The
change will cause some confusion for
a time, but will result in much good
in the end."

lost $5000, has made an effort to se
cure the return of his money, going
directly to the men in the game, but he
also has been unsuccessful.
For some time past .Matt Rles has at
tended none of the contests, and has as
sociated but little with Harrlman and
Brown. He has, however, so far as cdw
be learned, secured one-third of the pro
ceeds, it being understood that a portion
of this was being paid for protection.
Some of the Steerers.
The steerers engaged. were: Joe Carroll,
of Bellingham. the well-known wrestler,
whose true name is Ole Marsh; Jack Car
keek, wrestler; Dan H. McLeod. wrestler:
a man by the name of Losler, one Green
and others made up the aggregation who
were sent out to secure the. victims.
From the very nature of things, the vic
tims were almost entirely chosen from
among men not familiar with prizefights
or wrestling matches.
Carroll Used Newspapers.
In securing victims, it Is said that Joe
Carroll has been aided Innocently by the
Seattle papers in the publication at fre
quent intervals In the sporting colunms
of the papers of challenges by 'Carroll to
wrestle Dr. Roller, of the Athletic Club.
In these stories it will be recalled that
Carroll stated that he was prepared to
back himself In any amount that he could
defeat Roller or other wrestlers to whom
he referred.
CUNNINGHAM DENIES STORY
Looks Innocent as a Woolly Lamb
When He Does So.
PENDLETON, Or., Aug. 24. (Spe
cial.) Charles Cunningham, the
wealthy ex-sheepman, emphatically
denies the story from Seattle that he
was the victim of a fake wrestling
match In that city. He said:
"I don't know anything about the
matter. I was not mixed up in any
such proposition. I have not lost any
money in such a way. I am not an
expert at wrestling and I know noth
ing whatever about prizefighting.
"Why," he continued, looking out of
eyes as guiltless as those of one of the
sheep which made him rich, "I couldn't
lose $40,000, because I haven't got that
much money."
It is the sentiment here among
friends and acquaintances of Mr. Cun
ningham that if any man, or set of
men, succeeded in buncoing the sheep
man out of any money, they are en
titled to it. with a medal to boot. It
has always been considered that Cun
ningham was amply able to protect
himself at any game.
