' NEW YORK, April 30. (Special.
As the inevitable price of peace and of
a perfect working coalition with Mayor
McClellan, the Sullivans -demand the
head of General Theodore Bingham,
Commissioner of Police.
The price Mayor McClellan positive
ly refuses to pay.
As a natural consequence, the dove
of peace, which appeared hovering ex
pectantly over the dome of the City

away today with the loss of most of
its pin feathers.
Two facts may be accepted as final.
the Mayor's closest friends say. One of
these is that he never will be found
playing the role of the suppliant prodi
gal to Charles F. Murphy, and the other
is that he never will consent to sacri

exception are men of experience in politic.

two votes thua far taken by the committee

members voted against Senator Dick, because
they were fully convinced that to Intrust the

The election of a chairman of the State Cen

wa purely a personal matter. There were
three candidates, W. H. Phipps, of Paul-

that Menator Foraker tk any interest In that
election. So far an Senator Iick took any
part he irave his preference to Air. Phipps.
My election was brought about by the veterans
on the committee, vith whom I had served

TAKES UP AN OLD THEME
Koosevelt
Again Writes
Suleltle;
on Itace
NEW YORK, April 30. In a letter to
tile editor of the Review of Reviews,
President Roosevelt takes exception to
ccrtatn statements made In an article
on "The Doctor in the Public School."
published in the April number of the
periodical, and takes occasion to renew
Ills expressions on the subject of race
suicide.
"This writer states clearly." says the
President, "that It is an erroneous Idea
to assume that the average family should
have a larger number of healthy chil
dren than the present birth rate showed.
The vital statistics of a state like Mas
sachusetts shows that there the average
native American family of native Ameri
can descent has so few children that the
birth rate has fallen below the death
rate. This, of course, means race suicide,
and it ought to be understood that after
a while there are no children to go
to school. The question of their health
in school would not even be academic."
Continuing. Mr. Roosevelt says:
"The greatest problem of civilization
Is to be found In the fact that? the well-to-do
families tend to die out; there re
suits In consequence, a tendency to elim
ination, instead of the survival of the
fittest, and the moral attitude which
helps on this tendency is, of course,
strengthened when it is apologized for
and praised in a magazine like yours.
"Our people could still exist under all
kinds of iniquities In government; under
a debased currency, under official cor
ruption, under the rule of a socialistic
proletariat, under wealthy oligarchy.
"All. these things would be bad for us,
but the country would still exic. Hut it
could not continue to exist if it paid heed
to the expressed or Implied teachings of
such articles as these."

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30. Of the 50
talesmen composing the new venire
Issued yesterday by Judge Dunne for the
completion of the Ruef jury, 45 answered
their names in court today. Twenty-live
of these gave privately excuses as to
why they should not be required to serve,
and they were excused over the objection
of the defense. Seven of the remaining
20 were examined, five of them standing
aside on challenge for cause, and two of
them being tentatively accepted on .qual
ification, but still subject to peremptory
challenge by either side.
Hiram Johnson, special counsel for the
prosecution, stung by Henry Ach's fre
quent sneering references to him as "pri
vate counsel employed for public prose
cution." finally said:
"I've heard enough of these slurs di
rected against "priiate counsel." and I
am tired of It. I would rather appear
for the prosecution of a boodler and a
rogue, a thief and a scoundrel a man
who has shamelessly robbed his own
city than I would against almost any
other type of citizen. That's my posi
tion.'" Mr. Ach demanded that tiie nine
Jurors already sworn and the veniremen
present but not yet accepted, be in
structed by the court to "Ignore utterly
the remarks of counsel for the state."
"The jury, Mr. Ach." said Judge
Dunne, "will be instructed on all phases
of the law at the proper time."
When Mr. Ach objected to the excus
ing of the 25 veniremen, Judge Dunne
said :
"It is not any concern of yours, but
it is entirely within the discretion of the
court to accept or refuse these excuses."

DREAD ANOTHER FAMINE
Last Winter's Experience, When the
lines Were Ordered to Haul
Only Coal, Proves That It Is
Costly to Roads Concerned.
CHICAGO, April 30. Special.) The
traffic and operating departments of the
Harriman and the Hill lines have united
in a strenuous effort to prevent a recur
rence of a coal famine next Winter in
the West and Northwest. Orders have
been issued by the highest officials of
the various roads ind have the sanction
of E. H. Harriman and James J. Hill,
requiring all of the officials to make
every effort to induce the coal dealers to
lay in their Winter's supply in the Sum
mer months.
The officials of the railroads dread an
other such coal famine as occurred last
Winter, when they were blamed for the
Buffering and destitution which reigned
in the West land Northwest many weeks.
At that time the Interstate Commerce
Commission took the problem in hand
and issued orders which required the Hill
roads to discontinue all other traffic until
they succeeded in get-ting coal to the suf
fering people along their lines. This
proved an expensive operation and the
railroads do not want a recurrence.
Accordingly a personal canvas Is being
made in all the cities, and coal dealers
are being urged personally to co-operate
with the railroads in placing the western
country beyond the possibility of another
coal famine. Every facility and induce
ment is offered the dealers and In many
places the efforts are meeting with suc
cess. ,
It is the purpose of the railroads either
to get the West and Northwest adequate
ly coaled dcring the warm months, or to
place tne blame for any future famine
where they say it rightfully belongs
aeaiers wno wait until the last
moment to get their Winter supply.
COMPLA1X OF BAD TREATMENT
Northern Lumbermen Want Port
land Gateway Opened.
WASHINGTON. April 30. Rivalry be
tween the Hill and Harriman railroad
lines in the Northwest has culminated in
the presentation of the matter to the
Interstate Commerce Commission. For
several months lumber dealers and manu
facturers In Washington, nartlcularlv ir
the Puget Sound territory, generally have
complained- informally to the commis-
s:on mat owing to the refusal of ihe
Hill and Harriman lines to make them
through rates and joint rates they were
unaoie to get their products shipped to
points east ot the Cascade Mountains.
Finally it was suggested that they In
stitute proceedings under the new rate
law to compel the railroads to make such
through rates and joint rates. In com
pllance with the suggestion the Pacific
V oast dumber Manufacturers' Associa
lion, the Southwestern Washington Lum
ber Association, and the Shingle Mill!
Bureau today filed a complaint with the
commission against the Northern Pacific,
the Great Northern, the Southern Pacific,
tne Oregon Short Line and 15 other
roads, requesting the commission to issue
orders providing that the railroads shall
make through and joint rates on lumber
products from points in Washington via
Portland, Or., to points east of the Cas
cade Mountains.
It is alleged that there are now waiting
shipment from that territory not less than
25.000 carloads of manufactured lumber
and that the annual output of such lum
ber fro. i that territory Is not less than
110.000 ca. loads. It is alleged that the de
fendant lines refused to interchange cars
at Portland and this makes it impossible
to market lumber products.
STEVKXS FOR THE NORTHWEST
Canal-Digger May Become President

NEW YORK, April 2fi. (Special.)
An apparently well-authenticated ru
mor on Wall Street today is that John
F. Stevens, for nearly two years chief
engineer of the Tanama canal, is to be
come president of the Northern Pacific
Railway, succeeding Howard Elliott.
It now appears that he cast his lot
with the New Haven & Hartford Rail
road for the next 90 days, when he will
go to the Twin Cities to take charge
of the Northern Pacific. It is to be
presumed that this story will be vigor
ously denied, but the source of infor
mationxls such that considerable credit
is g-iven it on the street today.

NEW YORK, April 30. By sectoring

LONDON, April 30. A contradiction of
the recent declaration. In favor of alcohol
by leading physicians Is now published by
the medical press over the signatures of
a dozen physicians, including Sir Fred
erick Treves, William E. Ewart and Sir
James Barr. Referring to the recent
manifesto the signatories say:
'We gravely dissent from much of Its
teaching, nor can we accept it as an
authoritative statement of recognized
medical opinion on the matter." The
signatories say further that, they thought
alcohol is unnecessary as an article of
consumption in the case of healthy men
and women, and that its general use could
be discontinued without detriment to the
world's welfare." Believing, they also say,
that alcohol is one of the most fruitful
sources of poverty, disease and crime,
they are pleased to add that It is now
sparingly employed as a remedy by a
majority of medical men.
