E-EATTLB, "Wash., May . (Special.)
In full view of the throng witnessing

San Francisco Is Seaport City and
More Exposed, Is Another
. .'. Reason Given.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6. Owing to
the overcrowded condition of the vaults
of the United States Mint here, and for
the further reason that this- is a seaport,
and therefore a more exposed place at
which to store the Government's wealth
than an Interior town, the Government
has Just completed the transfer of $50,
000,000 in newly minted gold and silver
to the vaults of the Denver mint.
The treasure was handled in transit
by the Wells-Fargo Express Company,
and guarded Ly messengers sworn in as
Deputy United States Marshals. The
transfer iras made in several shipments
which went East during last month.
The last previous shipment of coin to
Denver was made in August, 1908, and
reached the enormous total of $210,000,
000. Many millions still remain in the
aults of the San Francisco Mint, but
will not be moved, as a large sum is
necessary for the transaction of business
on the Coast.
CABINET OPPOSES CZAR
Is Unit for NaTal Bill and Nicholas
Is Considering.
ST. PETERSBURG. May -6. The out
come of the Russian ministerial crisis is
now entirely dependent upon the Emperor,
as Premier StolyRin's exhaustive report,
based on the cabinet meeting of May 4,
and submitted to the Emperor today left
no doubt in the latter's mind that the
cabinet was a unit in favor of sanction
ing the naval bill.
The Premier had a long audience with
the Emperor at Tsarskoe-Selo. The ne
cessity of the retirement of- the cabinet,
case of an adverse decision was deli
cately implied, and the Emperor an
nounced he would consider the matter.
The issue has nothing to do with a
bigger navy; it is as to whether Parlia
ment, which admittedly possesses the
right to vote appropriations for the army
and navy, should have the power to at
tach a clause declaring that a naval staff
had been established.
TUNNEL UNDER BANK FOUND
Extensive Plan for Robbery Discov
ered In San Francisco.
..
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6. The discov
ery of what appeared to be the starting
of an underground passageway beneath
the flooring of a vacant store adjoining
the building occupied by the Swiss-Amer
ican Bank, led to the circulation today
of -a report that robbers had planned to
tunnel under the bank vault, blow It open
and secure the $250,000 cash reserve kept
there.
Further investigation showed a narrow
opening had been cut in the flooring of
the store and about two feet of tunnel
du, but the police don't believe an as-
suit on the bank vault was planned.
The tunnel would have had to be ex
tended more tnan au leet and pass
through a brick wall to reach the vault.
It Is supposed the burglars planned to
break into a Jewelry store near by.
QUAKE CANNOT STOP RENT
"Unforeseen Events" Do Not Entitle
Lessee to Money Back.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 6.- Character
izing the earthquake and fire of 1906
as 'unforeseen events, not blamable
to. either party, the District Court of
Appeals, in a decision handed down to
day, holds that tenants paying their
rent in advance, prior to the disaster,
have no grounds for action to recover
that rental because the premises were
destroyed.-
The decision was rendered in revers
ing the case of Harvey & Deroux
against Weisbaum Bros., the trial court
having ordered the defendants to return
the sum paid by the plaintiffs as rent
in advance, just before the great Are.
The Appellate Court held that the law
had no right to aid a lessee who' had
not protected himself in the wording
of his lease.
FIRE STARTED IN REVENGE

diary Nebraska Blaze.
NORFOLK, Neb., May 6. Ftre start
ed by an incendiary early today
threatened to destroy the town
Plainview, near here, and it was neces
sary to call upon surrounding town
for aid. A gale carried the flames
over the entire town. Men and women
fought the fire for nearly five hours
and In the excitement many of the

The Methodist Church, the floor

cently went "dry" and enemies of th
Prohibitionists are accused of havin
started the blaze.

SPRING SURPRISE ON PREMIER

REVOLUTION IS FEARED
Government Employes Unite With
Body Which Makes War on Cap
italists Days of Turmoil
Threatening France.
PARIS, May 6 The famous P. T. T.
that is, the Posts, Telegraphs & Tele
phone Employes Association threw
down the gage of battle to the gov
ernment today by transforming Itself
into a syndicate or union under the law
f 1884. This places the association on
the same footing with workmen's
unions with the right to strike.
This defiance, which is nothing short
of open revolt, came as a sudden and
sensational sequel to Premier Clemen
ceau's failure today to receive a depu
tation of postal employes, who called
to demand the redemption promises
they say the government made when
the recent strike was declared off.
Employes Spring Surprise.
The Premier was ill, but the delegation
pretended to believe his indisposition was
simulated. Its failure to be received,
however, served as a pretext for spring
ing the surprise and an hour later the
transformation of the association into
national syndicate was announced and
the statutes of the organization were of
ficially filed in the City Hall.
It was what the French call a coup de
theater, but if it proves successful, it
would be more like a coup d'etat, as its
parnosie 1s to make the emolovcs the mas-
ters ana not ine servants oi tne state.
Follows Union Methods.
The rules of the. organization follow
strictly in form those of the workmen's
organization., They declare . the purpose
to be for economic interests and to give
more material support to members hav
ing differences with the administration.
A commission is created following the
lines of trades unions, to act as inter
mediaries in such differences, and mem
bers are forbidden, under penalty of los
ing their membership, to present Issues
personally to the administration.
"Destroy Capitalists," Is Cry.
The most serious aspect of the situa
tion is the fact that the leaders are un

spirits of the . General Federation of

STATE RIGHTS INVOLVED
Conflict About Missouri Rate Laws
Rages in Congress While Mc
Pherson Stands Pat and
Phillips Courts Trial.
WASHINGTON, May 6. The war be
tween the Federal Court and the State
of Missouri in regard to the state rail
road rate law is to culminate in the mak
ing of formal charges of impeachment
before the House by Murphy of Missouri,
against Judges Smith, McPherson and
John J. Phillips. This climax came on the
very day that Judge McPherson, at Kan
sas City, continued the injunction by
which Judge Phillips had incurred the
wrath of the state.
The Missouri Legislature, at its session
last year, had no sooner passed the 2
cent passenger fare law and the max!
mum freight rate law than the railroads
sought an injunction from Judge Mc
Pherson on the ground that the rates
were confiscatory. The court insisted that
the laws should be put to the test of
actual enforcement for a reasonable time
before he would render a final decision
Accordingly they were enforced for sev
eral months, after which a prolonged
hearing was given. Judge McPherson then
issued a permanent injunction against
the enforcement of the laws, on the
ground that they were confiscatory.
Appeal to State Court.
The railroads then restored the 3-cent
passenger rate and the former freight
rates. The state, through Siebert Jones,
Circuit Attorney of St. Louis, then ap
plied to the State Circuit Court for an in
junction against the application of the
3-eent rate. The railroads then applied
to the Federal Court for an injunction
against the prosecution of this suit and
Judge Phillips, in the temporary absence
of Judge McPherson, issued a temporary
restraining order.
This was followed by the presentation
of Murphy's resolution in the House last
Monday, ordering an investigation of the
conduct of the two-Federal Judges. He
charged them with having gone on a fish
ing trip with railroad attorneys and with
violating the. Kansas game law; with in
fringing on the authority of the Missouri
Legislature; and he charged Judge
Phillips with Insulting lawyers when
juries did not bring in verdicts according
to instructions.
Murphy brought the matter up again

State and Municipal Governments,
He Says, Do Harm When They

Navy Needed for Protection.
NEW YORK, May 6. Ex-President
Roosevelt declares in an article In this
week's Outlook that it is the duty of
America to wait and see whether or not
Japan succeeds in preventing the immi
gration to this country of an appreciable
number of Japanese of the laboring and
small trading classes. If Japan fails, he
writes, this Government must protect it
self by treaty or legislation.
Americans have the right to say what
immigrants shall come to their shores
says the ex-President. The professional
peace advoete, he continues, who opposes
the upbuilding of the Navy, would place
the United States where it would be at
the mercy of any nation which wished to
disregard Its desires. America would fight.
he says, whether prepared or not.
Great Praise for Japanese.
Mr. Roosevelt is unsparing in his praise
of the Japanese. He characterizes them
as "a highly civilized people of extraordi
nary military, artistic and industrial de
velopments. They are proud, war-like and
sensitive," he adds and continues:
'But admiration and respect are ac
companied by the firm conviction that it
is not for the advantage of their people
thai emigrants should settle en masse in
the other ' country."
In his article he says only the National.
Government can carry out such a policy
effectively, adding: "The surest way to
do harm is for state, municipal or local
governments to pass laws which would
be ineffective to obtain the real object
and yet would produce intense irritation.
Insist on What Is Due.
"There are certain elementary principles
all of which should be kept steadily in
view if a nation wishes to act justly,
both by itself and by others. It must
insist upon what is. necessary for its
own healthy life, and this, even at the
cost of a possible clash; but this In
sistence on what is due to itself, should
always be accompanied by all possible
