Scalp Specialists Use and Recommend L CUBAN GQNGRESS GIVES UP GONTRO Two Armed Terrorists Arrest ed in Palace Grounds at Peterhof. SERVANTS IN CONSPIRACY They Smuggled Would-B Assassins Through' Guards Into Their Quarters Many Suspects Taken Into Custody. ST. PETERSBURG-. Sept. 28 A well laid plot against the life of the Emperor, and one with all the chances of success on its side, was uncovered today by the arrest of two armed terrorists, a man and a woman, in the quarters of one of the servants of the Alexandria, Palace, Peter hof, His Majesty's closely-guarded resi dence on Cronstadt Bay. The servants and a lackey named Klemm Klepnikoff, who were concerned in smuggling the ter rorists through the guards, were arrested also. Emperor Nicholas has been expected to return to Peterhof this week, and it is presumed, that the terrorists intended to ehoot him while he was promenading or playing with his children in the palace grounds. N Part of the great park at Peterhof is protected on one side by the waters of the bay, and on the other sides it is in closed by a high wall surmounted with Iron spikes. This wall is constantly pa trolled by trusted Cossacks. Iaside the palace grounds the only buildings are the unpretentious palace and two or three smaller houses for the servants. , The ramifications of the conspiracy, in which arrests have been reported almost daily since September 15, when a lackey and several others were arrested,, are ex tensive, and may possibly have Included two or more subdivisions, one directed at the Emperor and the other against Grand Duke Nicholas. The arrest of the lackeys explains the manner in which threatening . letters were introduced into the apartments of the Emperor. JEWBAITIXG OX THE INCREASE Situation at Odessa Daily Growing Worse Police Are Powerless. ODESSA, Sept. 28. (Special.) The sit uation here grows worse diily. Mem bers of the Union Russians are attack ing the Jews and students in the streets with revolvers and knives maiming and murdering them. The Irktusk 'branch has telegraphed the Czar praying that an order be issued that all Jews be ex pelled from Russia forever. The police are powerless to counteract the anti Jewish movement. It is charged that General Kaulbars is openly assisting the fomenting of a pro gramme, and one of the most terrible Jewish massacres In recent years is in prospect. The Union has threatened the assassination of the Czar because he is protecting the Jews. MANY DEMOCRATS BOLT (Continued From Paso 1 as they are today against that led by William R. Hearst." Mr. Chanler spoke briefly. When Mr. Hearst entered the garden the audience greeted him with deafening cheers, while the band played and flags were waved. It was nearly a half hour before Mr. Hearst could make himself heard. He said .in part: Before I received the nomination from any party I spoke at Syracuse and stated the principles in which I believed and framed my personal platform. Therefore the nominations that have been given me were given with a lull understanding of exactly what I believe. I shall make the campaign according to my own honest opjnion. and If elected shall con duct my administration according to my own convictions. I am a Jefferson Democrat, and that, as I understand it, is practically the same as a Lincoln Republican, for the Republican party wal founded to restore the action of the Gov ernment to the principles of Washington and Jefferfcon. I believe In the impartial enforcement of the laws as they exist. I beiieve in public ownership of public utilities. But the first qualification for public own ership. Is honesty In office and Independence in votinr. I believe that the protective principle is valuable in itself, but has been unreasonably extended and outrageously abused. I believe in protection for infant Industries. I believe in protection for American labor. I believe the tariff ehould be modified anA pub lic ownership inaugurated, but that both should be done cautiously and conservativelv with due regard to the stability of business Interests and the perpetuation on which we all derend. I believe m the restraint and regulation of trusts and monopolies by law. I believe in labor unions and farmers' granges and organizations that promote the distribution of wealth, and I reallxe that the prosperity of legitimate business men depends upon the purchasing power of the masses. I believe in every measure that gives the people more direct control of the Government. I believe in direct nominations and open primaries. I believe in purity in politics. I will run in this campaign, not merely rep resenting the Independence League, not mere ly the Democratic party, but. I hope, tha people of the State of New York. I appeaJ to them and make my pledge to them to retain for them the rights they still have and to restore to them the liberties they have lost. Mr. Hearst spoke only 14 minutes. At the close of the meeting, when Mr. Hearst, accompanied by Mrs. Hearst, left the hall, the police had their hands full in protecting the party from being crushed through the eagerness of the crowd to shake hands with Mr. Hearst. There was a regular football scrimmage through the lobby to the carriage. It was noticed that there were some Tammany men in the audience. No formal delegations were sent by any Tammany Club or other organizations. HEARST AVORKS FOR FUSION Tries to Pull Down Tail of Indepen dence League Ticket. , NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. The Republican state committee has decided to transfer Its headquarters from the Fifth Avenue Hotel to No. 12 East Thirtieth street as soon as offices at the latter place can be fitted up. At Republican. Democratic and Independence League headquarters there, was much activity today, campaign managers and candidates planning the speaking tours for the next few weeks. The executive committee of the Inde pendence League discussed fusion with the Democrats. The nominations for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor are Identical on both the Democratic and In dependence League tickets. It is un derstood that there was a difference of opinion as to whether four league nomi PARTY MUST SUPPORT HIM Tom Taggart Says Xew York Dem ocrats Cannot Quit Hearst. INDIANAPOLIS.- Ind.. Sept. 28. Thomas Taggart. chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee, in reply to a question tonight ir regard to William R. Hearst's nomination for Governor of New York, said: - "It has always been a rule of the Demo cratic party that when a man goes into convention and gets a nomination he is entitled to the support of the party. "If the Democrats of New York have allowed themselves, through the anflu ences of individuals, or for any other reason, to nominate a man they do not want, they have no one to blame but themselves." BRYAN'S VOICE WEARIXG OUT Finishes Tour of Oklahoma and In dian Territory. ENID. Okla., Sept. 28. William J. Bryan concluded his three days' tour of Oklahoma and Indian Territory today and left here tonight for Kansas City. Mr. Bryan shows the effect of his strenuous trip through the South. His voice is hoarse and his last series of speeches was made with evident difficulty. Fifteen thousand people heard him at Enid this evening. His special train ar rived at 6:30 from Geary, where he spoke to a large audience this afternoon. He was escorted down town to a stand, where he spoke. At Geary some bitterness was shown because the School Board refused to dis miss the city schools in order that the children might hear Mr. Bryan. He left at 7 o'clock for Blackwell, which was the last point of his itinerary. Here he was greeted by a large crowd. The party returned from Blackwell at 8:30 and left immediately for Kansas City. PULPIT IS NOT FOH BOYS ! ILLINOIS METHODIST BISHOP PLEADS FOR AGE. Denounces "Oslerizing" of Pastors as Senseless Hankering for Youth. CHICAGO. Sept. 2S. (Special.) Bishop Berry today sent a thrill through his co workers at the Rock River Methodist con ference, when he criticized the "Osleriz ing" of pastors. "The dead line in the ministry," he said. "was once 70, then 60, now it's 50 and by and by it will be 40 unless the young men themselves put a stop to the senseless hankering after boys in the pulpit." This was part of his address to the young men applicants for admission to Methodist ministry. His auditors sat up and this appeal to the younger generation followed: "Give the old man and middle aged men a chance now and you will have yours after a while. When there is an extraor dinary demand for veal, there is not al ways enough -to go around." BELL INDORSED BY LABOR Unions Demand Withdrawal of Langdon from Race. BAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 28.

First: .That the executive committee should telegraph Samuel Gompers to use his best endeavors with William R. Hearst to have William H. Langdon, the candidate of the North ern Pacific League, for Governor, with draw; second, that the executive com mittee of the council call upon the Demo cratic campaign committee and have the latter wire the state Democratic com mittee of New York to use its influence with Hearst to have Langdon withdraw; third, that the executive committee wire Hearst direct to have Langdon with draw. The resolution endorsing Bell was adopted after two hours' debate, in which some of the members of the council stood for Langdon and others for Austin Lewis, the Socialist candidate for Governor. The motion to make Bell's endorsement un animous was lost through the opposition of the Socialists. - CAMP EXPENSES CUT DOWN San Francisco Relief Corporation Reduces the October Budget.

Following: this announcement, . the Moderates held a long consultation at the residence of Senator Dolz, Presi dent of the Senate, at which it was de cided that no Moderate should return to the session after the recess, thus precipitating a condition in which no provisional President could be elected. This throwing up of their ' hands practically gave over the control of af fairs to the American commissioners. Up to that point the attitude of the commissioners also had been a waiting one. During the day Mr. Taft heard va Eious kinds of propositions and counter propositions about available and un available candidates for the Presidency. None of these propositions proved at all agreeable to all factions.

Congress Meets In Despair. It was in a spirit; of utter pathy that a joint session of the Senate and House received the resignations of the President, the Vice-President and the members of the Cabinet this afternoon. This attitude was due in a great meas ure to despair that any action would result in making American intervention less probable. After a brief but con fused debate Congress decided on. the final and forlorn hope of an appeal to Senor Palma to reconsider his decision to retire. Although the session had been called for 2 o'clock, it was nearly 3 before, the members began to arrive, and at that hour the Improvised gallery in the long bare chamber, formerly a workroom in a big tobacco factory, contained only a sprinkling of specta tors. Over the President's rostrum hung the faded and tattered folds of the original Lone Star .flag that was first raised by Carlos Cespedes in the"- ten years' struggle for independence. It was now a witness to the closing scenes of the brief life of the first Cuban republic. From the broad street upon which the house is situated a email crowd of loungers and workmen gazed silently at the windows of the building. , Palma's Resignation Read. The assembly was called to order by Senor Dolz at 3:20 o'clock and a roll call revealed a quorum, 14 Senators and 46 Representatives being present. The resig nations of the members of the cabinet to the President were then read. Thereon Senor Zayas entered a. protest, declaring that the President had no right to accept the resignations of the Cabinet without appointing successors. Representative Mandulay declared that the President had acted entirely within his rights. The resignation of Mendez Capote, the Vice President, was then read without com ment. Following this and amid a pro found silence, the resignation of the Presi dent was read. It was as follows: To Congress: The condition to which public order has been reduced since the initiation of armed rebellion In the Province of Pinar el Rio and the fact that there im now In operation in this capital an American com mision, said to be one of peace and repre senting the Government at Washington, and that in consequence the executive has practi cally lost all authority, while the rebels con tinue in arms and in a threatening attitude, and the writer, on the other hand, desirina sincerely and ardently that the country should turn to Its natural state of order and tran quillity, and as it 4a absolutely Impossible to accept the conditions which the said commis sion purposes as the only means of terminat ing the rebellion. I have resolved, considering It to be patriotic and decorous, to present formally to Congress, and in irrevocable form. my resignation from the Presidency of the republic, to which office I was elected by the citizens and the vote of the electoral colieK. May 16 last. Trusting this will be at once accepted. I extend my thanks to both legis lative bodies, to whom I offer this testimony of my highest consideration. As soon as the clerk had finished read ing the document. Representative Man dulay began an impassioned address in which he declared that Senor Palma was the only man to whom the Republic could look for salvation. With eloquence he urged Congress to cast to the winds all considerations of partisanship and to unite in an appeal to the President to reconsider the resignation. He also urged an appeal to the American commissioners Newbrq Hundreds of lady scalp specialists and hairdresers use and recommend Newbro's Herpicide, instead of products of their own manufacture upon which a much larger profit could be made. They claim that Herpicide makes friends for them and gives much better satisfaction. Some hairdressers use Herpicide -for obstinate cases only, but why not use the best first? - , Herpicide is a delightful dressing that can be used when there is no disease of the hair' or scalp, and as an actual remedy for dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair it stands in a class singularly its own. Many ladies object to a gummy and sticky hair dressing, or one that is. full of sedimentary chemi cals intended to dye the hair. The marked preference for a clean anddainty preparation, particularly one that overcomes excessive oiliness and leaves the hair light and fluffy, is reflected in the enormous sale of Newbro's Herpicide. Discriminating ladies become enthusiastic over its-refreshing quality and exquisite fragrance. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. At Drug StoresSend 10 cents in stamps to the Herpicide Co., Dept. N., Detroit, Mich., for a Sample FOR SALE AT ALL DRUG STORES to press the same request on Palma As Senor Mandulay concluded, a ripple of applause was heard from the spectators, but this was the only demonstration of interest. Senor Alfredo Zayas replied to Mandu lay. He urged that Congress had no legal right to present such an appeal to the President. Senor Mandulay retorted that in the present crisis, with the life of the nation at stake, it was the duty of Con gress to disregard such technicalities. Congressman Diego- Tamayo declared that Congress was face to face with the death of the nation, and that only Pal ma's continuance in office could save the republic. A, long argument ensued, to which many Representatives and Senators paid little heed. President Dolz chatted with some friends who gathered about his rostrum. Finally he terminated the question of the right of Congress to appeal to the Presi dent for reconsideration of his resignation by putting the matter to a vote. The re sult was 47 ayes to 13 noes. On the mo tion of Senor - Mandulay the house then took a recess to permit the Moderates and the Liberal Nationaliiste to visit Senor Palma. Palma Insists on Resigning. The members went to the palace, where they were at once received by the Presi dent In-the old throneroom of Spanish days, now the red salon. Palma was much affected at the appearance of practlcany all his leading allies. He greeted them sorrowfully and then listened intently to Senor Dolz, who stated the object of the errand. President Palma replied dejected ly that it was impossible for him to con tinue as President of a nation whose peo ple evidently had become out of accord and sympathy with him and his govern ment. Neither could he continue at the head of a government while a portion of the people was disposed to remain "in armed rebellion. He voiced his deep re grets, but reiterated that his decision was irrevocable. He was deeply moved, and spoke with tears iri his eyes. He said: I would never have hesitated to make any sacrifice asked for by my country, whose lib erty. I fought for during 40 years, exposing my life and wrecking my health. But you ask me to sacrifice my personal dignity and that of the government now Imperiled by armed forces, without any prospects of a prac tical result In securing peace and the sta bility of the nation. If I could believe that the sacrifice of my personal and official dig nity meant peace and stability and rightful liberty, you could count on my compliance to that extent. But since my authority baa been curtailed by armed force and as I have been notified officially that I am occupying my position by fraud. I beg you not to insist on asking me to- withdraw my realgnation, which has been presented to Congress and which represents my irrevocable resignation. Embraces and Tears. . Senor Dolz broke the ensuing silence, saying that the Moderates would not press the request, and-, ended the inter view by embracing President Palma. The President and several others wept freely and the delegates in turn grasped his hand and withdrew to the residence of Senor - Dolz. There they entered into a long conference. The tendency at first was to endeavor to meet the Liberals by agreeing on Gen eral Menocal for Provisional President. This, however, was soon abandoned, be cause it was recalled that Mr. Taft had intimated that Senor Palma's continuance in office would be the only arrangement sufficiently satisfactory to the .United States to prevent intervention. Consider able ill feeling was exhibited, toward Gov ernor Nunez. Dolz Bitter Against Americans. Senor Dolz said the problem before the Moderate party w;as one that it was use less to try to solve, as American inter vention was an accomplished fact. He said this was the true reason for Senor Palma's resignation, and instanced as proof of his assertion the landing of American forces at Cienfuegos at the re quest of the American commissioners to protect American property, completely Ig noring the Cuban government.

ANNA CONNER. 2S07 Archer Ave., Chicago, 111. Palma, he said, decided that the action of the commissioners in dealing with the rebels was ample reason for his resigna tion. He declared that the commission had not listened to the honorable proposition of the Palma administration, and that it would be . beneath the dignity of the Cuban government to continue the officers of a republic which for some time had been under American domination. Final ly, by a vote of 20 to 15, the Moderates refused to assist at the night session of the Congress and communicated this de cision to Senor Dolz. Congress Dies of No Quorum. The night session was called for - 9 o'clock, but at 10 only four members were present. Senor Mandulay demanded a rollcall to determine whether there was a quorum, saying, if there was not, he would move that the session adjourn. General Boza, a loyal Liberal, said he was willing to wait until midnight. How ever, as neither President Dolz nor Gen eral Freyre Andrade was present to open the letter notifying the chair of the action of the Moderate caucus, the session sim ply dissolved.
