Commerce, and M. Rabier, vice-president
of the Chamber of Deputies, were asso
ciated as lawyers with Rochette in sev
eral of his enterprises. This statement
was followed this afternoon by denials
from both M. Cruppi and M. Rabier.
A single brokerage house of this city,
which handled most of the Rochette
stocks, will lose over $600,000 by the col
lapse of these securities. The Rochette
stocks broke again on the market today
ad weakened the entire bourse, which

Bank of France and other Institutions to
the credit of the Franco-Spanish Bank

PRESIDENT'S IRE AROUSED
ORDERS ANARCHIST PAPER TO
BE EXCLUDED FROM MAILS.
La Quest ione Sociale, Advocating
Murder and Arson, to Be Stopped
and Publishers Prosecuted.
PATKRiJOX, N J., March 24. President
Roosevelt states in answer to an appeal
from Mayor McBride to exclude La
Queetione Sociale irom the mails for the
purpose of suppressing the publication
that beside directing that the newspaper
be denied the use of the mails he has re
quested the Department of Justice to
make every effort to prosecute criminally
those reeixnsible for the publication. A
copy of the President's letter to the De
partment of Justice was enclosed by
Secretary Loeb as the reply to the appeal
of Mayor McBride, who made public the
President's letter last night. La Ques
tions Sociale recently published an appeal
of inflammatory character which resulted
in the action taken. President Roose
velt's letter to the Department of Justice
I sent to the Mayor is as follows:
"To the DeDartiuent: By toy direction.
PANIC
the Postmaster-General fs to exclude La
Questione Sociale, of Paterson. N. J.,
from the mails, and it will not be ad
mitted to the mails unless by order of
the court or unless you advise me fur
ther that it must be admitted. Please
see if It is not possible to prosecute crim
inally under the section of the law that is
available the men that axe interested in
the sending out of this anarchistic and
murderous publication. They are, of
course, the enemies of mankinS and
every effort should be strained to hold
them accountable for an offense far more
infamous than that of ordinary murder.
"This matter has been brought to my
attention by the Mayor of the city of Pat
erson. I wish, every effort made to get
at the criminals under the Federal law.
It may be found Impossible to do this. I
shall also, through the Secretary of State,
call the attention of the Governor of New
Jersey to the circumstances, so he may
proceed under the state law. his 'atten
tion being -further drawn to the fact
that the newspaper Is circulated in "other
states.- After you have concluded your
investigation I wish a report from you to
serve as a basis for recommendations by
me for action by Congress.
"Under section 3893 of the Revised Stat
utes, lewd, obscene and lascivious books
and letters, publications for Indecent and
immoral uses. or of an indecent and im
moral nature, and postal cards upon
which indecent and scurrilous epithets
are written or printed are all excluded
from the mail, and provision is made for,
fine and imprisonment for those guilty.
"The newspaper article in question ad
vocates murder by dynamite. It specific
ally advocates the murder of enlisted men
of the United States Army and the offi
cers of the police force, and the burning
of the houses of private citizens. The
preaching of murder and arson Is cer
tainly as immoral as the circulation of
obscene and lascivious literature, and if
the practice is not already forbidden by
law it should be forbidden.
"The immigration law now prohibits
the entry into the United States of any
person who entertains or advocates the
views expressed in this newspaper ar
ticle. It is, of course, inexcusable to
permit those already here to promulgate
such views. Those who write, publish
and circulate those articles stand on the
level with those who use the mails for
distributing poisons for murder, and con
victions have been obtained when the
mails have thus been used for the distri
bution of poisons. No law should require
the Postmaster-General to become an ac
cessory to murder by circulating litera
ture of this kind. (Signed)
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
Postoffice inspectors have already com
menced an investigation of the newspaper.

president of the Unionist Free Trade
League he took an active part in the
campaign against tariff reform. He de
livered his last speech on this question
just one year ago, On the occasion of
the jubilee of his entrance upon a po
litical career.
Few men have spent a more active
political life than the Duke. He had
been almost' continuously a Cabinet
member in charge of some important
department as a Liberal before the
split with Gladstone, and later as lead
er of the Liberal Unionists. He led
the Liberals during the temporary re
tirement of Gladstone in 1875 and was
offered but - refused the Premiership
after the Midlothian campaign of 1880.
He was again offered this honor upon
the defeat of Home Rule, but he again
refused.
The Duke was also active socially,
and his entertainments at his Picca
dilly residence and at Chatsworth
House, In Derbyshire, and his other
country houses were the most notable
of their kind. Members of the royal
family frequently were his guests.
The Duke had no Immediate family
and the Dukedom passes to his nephew,
Mr. Cavendish, who married the daugh

Idaho Supreme Court Decides Im
' portant Mormon Prosecution.
.... BOISE, Idaho, March 24. (Special.)
"Celestial and patriarchial marriages to
be participated in the next world or in
the future life cannot be crimes here
under a civil and self-made government.
, "Constitutions and statutes care noth
ing about wnat men believe with refer
ence to a future existence, indeed they
are Intended in this American Union to
protect a man in anything he wants to
believe in reference to the futur elite.
They do not deal with beliefs, but with
acts and practices and teachings.''
The above sentences from the syllabus
of the Supreme Court decision, handed
down here today indicate the stand taken
by the court'in interpreting' that section
of the Idaho statutes which for years,
many have contended, disfranchises
members of the Mormon church from
