inent residents of Indianapolis.- When
he was arraigned Immediately after
his arrest, he was held for 48 hours
for further examination.
According to, a detective of the Dis
trict Attorney's office who made the
arrest, Brennan came to New York
several days ago, after having been in
communication with Heinze for some
time. The complaint which led to
Urennan's arrest was made by Heinze

He said that an attempt was being
made to exort money from him and
that Brennan had told htm that he
(Heinze) had violated the laws of
Montana In some of his copper trans
actions there. It is charged that Bren
nan threatened to start the law after
Heinze if not paid $40,000.
The first threats were made by let
ter, according to Heinze, and, getting
no satisfaction in that way, Brennan
came to New York and visited Heinze
in his Broadway office. The detective
assigned to the case had Heinze make
an appointment with Brennan today.
Before the appointed hour the detec
tive concealed himself in a closet
where ho could see and hear all that
was said.
Heinze Gave Him Notes.
According to the police, after a con
ference Heinze made out three de
mand notes for Brennan. One note
was for $15,000. and two notes for
$12,500 each. After these notes had
been made out and passed over to the
Butte man, the detective placed him
under arrest.
Although he had no bondsman in
court when -bail was fixed at $5003,
Brennan said that he thought he could
furnish it without any trouble.

JAPAN FILES PROTEST
Objects to Continuance of Boycott by
Chinese Merchants.
PEKIN, May 7. Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese Minister to China, has handed
In another communication from his
Government to the Chinese Foreign
Hoard, protesting against the contin
uance of the Chinese boycott on Jap
anese goods arising from the Tatsu
Maru incident.
BOYCOTT CAXXOT LAST BOXG
Japanese Bring Pressure to Bear on
Chinese Viceroys.
SHANGHAI, May 7. The Chines boy
cott of Japanese goods, which came about
as a result of the humiliation inflicted
upon the Chinese people by the Japanese
government, in securing what the Chinese
ihavo considered an unfair settlement of
the Tatsu Maru case, will soon die a nat
ural death. The movement was started
by the Cantonese merchants, who endeav
ored to cawy the propaganda Into the va
rious parts of China by sending urgent
telegrams asking the residents to join
the boycott. This movement did not suc
ceed on account of the strontr position
taken by the Viceroys, who took severe
etcps to prevent its growth and who suc
ceeded in stopping the Cantonese mer
chants in Tientsin, Shanghai and Hankow
from joining. This attitude by the Vice
roys doubtless w;ls a result of Japanese
pressure upon China. Two societies, one
calling itself "The Society of National
Disgrace," and the other a woman's or
ganization, were formed to help the move
ment. Their establishment is of Interest,
as showing the national spirit as every
where manifest in China.
Will Not Banish Emperor.
TOKIO, May 7. Not even a shadow
of truth exists' for" the rumor of the
banishment of the Corean Emperor by
Japan, high officials of the Foreign
Office simply ridiculing its absurdity.
The former Emperor, on the earnest
advice of Prince I to, once resolved to
come to Tokio to see how the Crown
Prince, who is here prosecuting his stud
ies, was progressing, but afterward
changed his mind.

tended by a staff, was in command. The
splendid alignment, quick evolutions and
military bearing of the well-drilled men
drew spontaneous applause from the
densely packed sidewalks, from the re
viewing stands and from the windows of
tho many tall buildings that fronted the
streets along the line of march. The pic
turesque bluejackets were commanded by
Captain Seaton Schroeder, of the Virginia,
who soon is to be elevated to the rank of
Rear-Admiral.
The broad thoroughfares over which
they marched seemed fairly choked with
the sailor men as far as the eye could
reach, and from the first company to
the last the cheering continued. The
rolling gait of the sea had been left be
hind today, and . the bluejackets, with
eyes to the front, marched in straight

The landing of the great force of sail
ors and marines involved problems of

Tonight the streets are thronged with
the liberty men of the fleet. The parks
are filled with holiday crowds and are
gay with music and illuminations. At the
Fairmount Hotel the Governor and his
staff entertained at dinner In honor of
Secretary Metcalf and the flag and com
manding officers of the fleet. Admiral
Evans was unable to attend, his place
being taken by Rear-Admiral Thomas,
who responded to the welcome to the
Atlantic fleet. A number of informal
speeches wore made.
Changes Wrought Since Fire.
The route of the parade today lay up
Market street from the famous ferry ter
minals to Van Ness avenue and up the
latter to Washington street, where the
countermarch began. Officers not march
ing, with ship commands rode in car
riages, of which there were 49 in line,
and had the best opportunity to observe
the many changes wrought by the great
fire. Market street was in the heart
of the fire and Van Ness avenue practi
cally marked its western boundary, so
there was evidence in every block of the
new order of things. On their march of
a mile and a half up Market street and

SCUTTLED BY HER CREW?
Australian Steamer Sinks at Sea
Under Suspicious Circumstances.
VICTORIA, B. C, May 7. Steamer
Aorangl, which arrived this morning
from Australia, brought news of the
sudden sinking of the steamer Bega,
an Australian coasting vessel under
suspicious circumstances and investi
gations were being held to show
whether the vessel had been scuttled
by striking seamen, as she was carry
ing a non-union crew during the re
cent strike of the coastwise shipping
unions.
The Bega was steaming in a smooth
sea at night, when she suddenly began
to fill, listed to port and foundered in
20 minutes with the sea rushing into
her open ports. There were 47 crew
and passengers, including 23 women
and children on board, and excepting
an old man who died from shock, all
were saved by the boats and rafts.
News was brought from New Cale
donia of the loss of the Dutch ship,
Emanuel, Ex Hugo Nolenaar. on the
main reef of the F. Teremba, near
Noumea. The masts came down soon
after the vessel struck and" the hull Is
full of water and considered a total
loss. She was in ballast bound to Ne

The steamer Hampstead, from Hono

FOSSIL Or., May 7. (Special.) A most
sensational esdape of a prisoner from
the county jail occurred here last night.

HARMONY IS LOUD
So Loud Police Have to Quiet
Its Advocates.
BAY STATE IS FOR BRYAN
But Convention Only Instructs Dele-gatoH-at-Large
Bitter Fight Over
Election, Which Williams
Finally Wins.
BOSTON, May 7. With some opposition
to Instructions in favor of William J.
Bryan for Presidential candidate, although
such instructions were adopted finally,
and with a more decided contest over the
selection of delegates-at-large. the Dem
ocratic state convention today elected
, KL.AGSHIP OF ADMIRAL EVANS,
four leaders to represent the slate at the
Denver convention.
The delegates were George Fred Wil
liams, of Dedham; District Attorney
John B. Moran, of Boston; ex-Mayor John
W. Coughlin, of Fall River, and Daniel
J. Doherty. of Westfleld. ;
Opposition to tho Instruction plank was
voiced by Professor Alex F. Chamberlain,
of Clark University, Worcester, but his
effort to obtain reconsideration was ig
nored. Confusion of Cries for Harmony.
The main contest came on the selection
of four delegates and principally over the
name of George Fred Williams. For two
hours Faneuil Hall resounded with shouts,
cries, speeches and motions from various
party leaders, and the chairman had
difficulty in maintaining a semblance of
order. At one time he was obliged to
call the police td clear the platform.
Some of the speeches were extremely bit
ter, but all speakers pleaded for har
mony. A roll call on the question of the choice
of tho four delegates by acclamation was
finally carried by a vote of 408 to 152.
Compromise on Instructions.
Previous to the meeting of the conven
tion there was a spirited contest within
the committee on resolutions over the in
struction plank. A compromise was effect
ed and, while the plank was retained,
it was modified so as to apply only to the
four delegates elected at today's con
vention. The Bryan advocates wished the
instructions to embrace the entire state
delegation to Denver. The platform says:
"The aim of the Massachusetts Democ
racy is a united party to elect William
J. Bryan President of the United States.
To this end we instruct the four dele
gates elected in this convention to cast
their vote in the National convention for
William J. Bryan."
TAFT HEX WIN AFTER FIGHT
Elect Kentucky Delegates Against
Fairbanks Men's Protest.
LOUISVILLE. Ky., May 7. After
'having controlled the organization and
seated their delegates in all save a few
of the contested counties, during an all
night session of the committee on cre
dentials, the Taft men were apparently
about to put through their slate of dele
gates at large without a hitch at today's
session of the Kentucky Republican con
vention, when the programme was en
dangered and the slate at one time ap
parently broken by a harmony speech
made by Senator-elect William O. Brad
ley, the Fairbanks leader.
Instead of winding up the business of
selecting delegates at large to the Re
publican National Convention in an hour
or two, the convention had a session
lasting from 10 A. M. until 5:30 o'clock,
when, after hours of disorder, wirepulling
and suspense, the Taft men finally won
out and elected the following delegates
at large instructed for the Secretary of
War to the Chicago convention:
Governor A. B. Willson, Judge A. R.
Burnam, Richmond; Marshall Bullit,
Louisville; E. D. Kane, negro, Louisville.
ROOSEVELT IS FIRST CHOICE
Utah Republicans Support Taft.
Smoot Wins Decisive Victory.
SALT LAKE! CITY, May 7. National
Issues figured but slightly at the Repub
lican state convention today. The 473
delegates cheered mightily a resolution
declaring Theodore Roosevelt Utah's first
choice for the Presidental nomination
and William H. Taft it's second choice.
But when D. O. Hideout, a Salt Lake
county delegate, offered a resolution
authorizing the Republican state conven
tion next Fall to nominate a candidate
for Senator, harmony dlsapneaxml and
an acrimonious fight began. The nomina
tion of a Senator in this manner has
been urged by a faction of the party com
posed chiefly of Gentiles and nicknamed
"The Insurgents." It has been opposed
by Senator Smoot and others in control
of the regular organization. The reg
ulars have maintained that the move was
hostile to Mr. Smoot, whose term expires
next Spring.
The speeches, virtually all of them,
were in favor of the resolution, but the
votes, in like proportion, were against
it. Even the regulars were surprised
at the completeness of the victory, in
view of the fact that the field of argu
ment had been yielded to the enemy.
It was a personal triumph for the Mor
mon Senator.
When Temporary Chairman Daniel D.
Houtz said in his opening speech that he
had met many "who believed in retir
ing President Roosevelt from office four
years hence." he opened the flood gates
of Republican enthusiasm. It was evi
dent that the assemblage was in accord
with those whom the temporary chair
man had "met."
BRYAN MEN HINT AT FRAUD
Say Republicans Voted for Johnson
In Minnesota Caucuses.
ST. PAUL, May 7. The latest returns
from last night's caucuses throughout
the State, based on the number of votes
in each county, show that in 36 counties
Johnson will have 449 delegates in the
... ... . '.mutr.t-.
COMMANDING LARGEST AMERICAN
State convention, and from 15 counties
Bryan will have 183. There are still 34
counties to be heard from. It will re
quire 468 votes to control the convention,
and on the showing of the returns so far
the Johnson men have control.
The Bryan managers claim that in
counties which have heretofore been
wholly Republican, the Republicans went
into the Democratic caucuses to vote for
Johnson and were talking today of the
possibility of calling a separate conven
tion May 14.

Great Britain's surplus of 1907-08 amount

largely applied to the reduction of the
national debt. The national debt, the
Premier said, had been reduced by ap
proximately $90,000,000 during the past
year. A further reduction of about $75,
000.000 will be effected during the current
year, and Great Britain's debt would

Not Like Other Countries.
Some other countries, Mr. Asquith said,
which were supposed to enjoy a happier
fiscal system than Great Britain, were
obliged to borrow yearly to make both
ends meet. It was not an unhappy re
flection on British conditions that in
three years the country had been en
abled to pay oft between $200,000,000 and
$250,000,000 of its debt.
Mr. Asquith estimated the total expen
diture for 19C8-09 at $764,345,000 and the
revenue on the existing basis of taxation
at $788,850,000.
Old-Age Pension Scheme.
Coming to the main feature the matter
of old-age pensions Mr. Asquith said it
had been decided to rule out all con
tributory schemes and provide the pen
sions from the national treasury. In or
der that lunatics, criminals and persons
now being relieved should be ineligible
under the new system, it had been de
cided to start with a pension of $1.25 a
week to persons over 70 years of age in
possession of an income under $130 a
year. The Premier estimated that the
pensioners would not exceed 500,000 and
the cost of the scheme would be $30,000,
000 a year. It will come into force
January 1, 1909. Stringent conditions
will be laid down for forfeiture and sus
pension, and if this was socialism, the
Premier declared, it was socialism of a
kind that both parties accepted.
