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

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.

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.

question tonight ir regard to William R.

York, said: -
"It has always been a rule of the Demo

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

reason, to nominate a man they do not

themselves."

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.

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

BELL INDORSED BY LABOR
Unions Demand Withdrawal of
Langdon from Race.
BAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 28. The San
Francisco Labor Council tonight, after
formally endorsing the Democratic candi
date, Theodore A. Bell, for Governor,
adopted three resolutions. 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.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 28. The ex
ecutive committee of the relief corpora
tion has made a big cut in its running
expenses for October. The most remark
able showing is made in the department
of camps. There the budget is reduced
from $112,576 for September to $49,507 for
October a reduction of $63,069. The prin
cipal saving is made in the item of soup
kitchens. The kitchens as conducted by
private individuals during September cost
the fund $3S,3S4.-

corporation at Ingleside, under Captain J.
N. Kilian, the estimated cost of the
kitchens will be only $4348 a month, a
saving of $34,406.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 28. Jacob C.
Cross, arrested in Berkeley last Monday
on an indictment found against him in
Oregon for participation in land frauds,
will not fight extradition, as he at first
intimated, but will go to Portland and
stand trial there in the United States
Court. Cross, before United States Com
missioner Heacock today, waived exam
ination. He was held to appear before the
United States District Court at Portland.
A new bond for $5000, guaranteeing his
appearance in Portland, was filed.

President Palraa. definitely and firmly
announced to his political followers
that his resignation was absolutely ir
revocable. 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. Among those
who visited the Secretary were Govern

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.

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.

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. Senor

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.
