(Spe cial. The I. W. TV. carried the demon strations against John D. Rockefeller .Tr., to liis home here today, and al though they could not get by the heavily-guarded gates, they marched back and forth in front of the main en trance for two hours as a silent pro test against the attitude he has taken in the Colorado trouble. The Rockefeller home had been ap praised of the coming of the agitators and the estate was sealed tight. Kvery entrance was chained and locked and at the main entrance three ffuards were on duty in charge of William Dunston, the colored foreman, a big heavy negro who was fully armed. The I. W. W. party was in charge of Arthur Caron and David Sullivan. There were two women in the party. One passed as Caron's sweetheart, and the other wished to be known as Miss Harris. The other members were the "Tacoma Terror," Nathan Messman, and a third young man refused to give his name. Miss Harris displayed a card in her hat printed in red ink which read: "I protest against the murder in Colorado." Aim Is to Worry Rockefeller. As soon as the little band arrived activity started. Dunston stood his guard at the main entrance, and. two white men came up to assist him. The little band started walking back and forth, not going more than 50 feet each side of the gates. Superinten dent Briggs rode down slowly and carefully watched each face and passed on. Caron. who acted as spokesman for the party said: "We came up here today to worry Kockefeller and we have him worried. It is a peaceful demonstration, but we intend to keep it up every day. To morrow we will have double the num ber and wo will follow Rockefeller wherever ho goes. We have him thinking." Monster Demonstration Plan. After the pickets had walked to and fro for half an hour, Sullivan and one of the young men went on a trip. They were gone half an hour and when they returned the party went into confer ence and it was decided then to return .to New York. Sullivan said: "The trip today was just a recon noiterlng expedition. We wanted " to get the lay of the land. I can see now that the estate is too large to make any demonstration with such a small body of men. We aro coming up to morrow with a larger force and will be up every day. Next Sunday we in tend to make a monster demonstration. We will come out in a body and will all wear black clothes and white gloves. I Intend to have a black cof fin made and we will carry that with us, if possible we will also hire a hearse and drive that back and forth." "This thing has Just started.

The Swedish Antarctic Committee, an association founded last year by former Polar explorers and persons interested in ioiar exploration, with Admiral Palander at its head and Professors Nordenskjold Andersson. Da Rn Nathorst and Lonnberg among Its mem bers, has planned a new Swedish ex pedition to the Antarctic regions, which is to start in the Autumn of 1915. It is proposed that the exDeditlon should establish its base at Graham Land, somewhere on the shores of Ant- .arctio sound, the scene of Professor nordenskjold s and Professor Anders son's former exploits, and should spend nve years in exploring the country round.

The expedition will consist of 10 eci entiflc men well acquainted with the Antarctic regions. The Antarctic Committee estimate the cost of the expedition at $75,000 ana the government has included t grant ot half that amount in the eBti mates. CHINA TO ADOPT NEW COIN Silver Dollar, Similar to Mexico's, Will Be Standard. PEKIK, April 28. (Special.) A presidential mandate is expected shortly sanctioning the draft currency law establishing a regular silver cur rency for the whole country, -with coin or almost precisely the same weight and fineness as the present .Mexican ooiiar as a standard, the previ ous plan of making a smaller coin the unit having been abandoned, because deemed inexpedient. The "quintuple" bankers have finally held meetings regarding the loan neces sary to effect this reform, but Chinese circles state that they are proposing impossible conditions, in order to delay the negotiations until the Summer, when the home markets will be more favorable. Previous expert calculations stated that the silver coinage necessary to make the total reform must equal 13 per head of the population, say 700, 000,000 ounces. Obviously, years must elapse before such a vast coining can be completed. "Dcky." "Ton used to call me 'Ducky," up Until we wed!" said she.

Echoes the almost forgotten Neapolitan Camera trial at Vitrabo were heard the other day when a duel took place between the celebrated Captain (now Major) Fabroni, whose nine days peech, with its masterly unmasking of the Camora system, was one of the most memorable features of the trial nd a lawyer named Roberto Mama, the chief editor of the Naples period! cal "La Scintilla port to the Carabi tempt to extirpate the Major Fabroni, shortly before his promotion, put Stgnor Marvasi in pon' session -of a considerable amount of confidential information, together with ocumentary evidence, which, it is al leged, had been hushed up at the trial SenStOP BTJldy UrQ6S SlirVey because of its politically compromis- I of upper waterways; Attempting to forestall a threatened clash between striking longshoremen and strikebreakers at the close of work on the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company's steamer Navajo at Albers Bros." dock yesterday, officials of the company suddenly changed their plan f landing the men on the dock under police protection and instead sent them on board, the chartered steamer Stranger to the upper harbor, where a safe landing was made before the strikers could get there. Angered at the crew of the Stranger for carrying the men, strike sympa thizers attacked the boat with rocks and bolts as she was passing under the Hawthorne bridge on the return trip, and but for the appearance on deck of Captain Archibald Geer, armed with a rifle, serious damage might have been done. Fearing that Captain Geer intended shooting, the crowd cattered and the boat went on to its landing place at the foot of Alder treet undisturbed. At the landing she was met by a large crowd of irate men, but they created no disturbance. A squad of policemen was present. Police Protection Provided. Serious trouble at the close of oper ations on the Navajo was expected by C. D. Kennedy and other officials of the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company and arrangements were made for police protection. Etrike sympa thizers had chartered boats and were seen about the river during the greater part of the afternoon. A large crowd assembled on the dock where the men generally land. Police Captain Circle detailed 2a po licemen to the dock when the time came for the workmen to quit for the day. The policemen were stationed bout the docks and on the Broadway bridge, it being expected that the men, as jusual, would go ashore at the docks. The crowd kept growing larger as the quitting time neared and it was feared that the police would be unable to con trol the situation. Haety arrangements were made for the chartering of the steamer Stranger, which was docked at the foot of Alder street. The boat soon after 5 o'clock went into the lower harbor, and, pull ing alongside the Navajo, took the strikebreakers, 18 In number, aboard. Amidst the jeers of the crowd on shore and on the Broadway bridge, the boat sped up the harbor through all the bridges and.pulled up at the Portland Rowing Club, where the men landed and were taken away in waiting taxi cabs. A few of them wiu lived close by walked to their homes. There was no trouble.- Rifle Scatter Crowd. Turning about, the Stranger proceed ed down stream" toward the - Alder street dock.

Captain Geer afterward said he did not believe the anger against him and his crew yas justified.

BIG COUNTRY' IS SERVED BERLIN, April 30 Extraordinary revelations of police corruption were made at a trial which was brought to close at cologne recently. The nomi nal defendant in the case was a Jour nalist named, Sollman, who is the ed ltor of the Socialistic Rheinische Zel tung, and he was sentenced on more or ess formal grounds to pay a fine of BOO marks for libeling the police and me department of the Public Prose cutor, but on the main points both the evidence and the judgment completely Justified the articles which formed the substance of the charge. Indeed the court expressly' admitted that four out of the six police inspectors of Cologne and two commissioners of police had accepted bribes.. - It was shown to be quite a common thing for persons who were seeking concessions for restaurants.- cafes or dancing balls to send to oollce in spectors or their wives "luncheon-ham pers'' with loe-mark notes concealed in tnem. On one occasion an ins nee tor re. ceived from a concession hunter e bas ket containing 100 or 150 bottles of wine. Undisguised gifts of monev were also proved to have been by no means uncommon. Moreover, it was testified that police officials were en tertained with" champagne carousals by persons anxious to oDtain favors. Ihe race committee of the local race course paid a grant of S125 to the no lice ior preventing the bookmakers (an illegal profession in Germany) from pursuing business on tho course. The bookmakers went one better and paid a few dollars more to be allowed to continue. Anotner case referred to an Inquiry By the Berlin police as to the whereabouts of a young lady who was tnougnt to nave eloped. The no- lice at Cologne found her, but when the man with whom she had edoped offered to pay $250 they told the police at Berlin that their search had been fruitless. Not less astonishing was the condi tion of affairs shown to exist among tne criminal police. Several witnesses frankly admitted that in cases of rob bery the police were denendent nnnn the pecuniary support of the sufferers and that if these were not prepared to pay very little was done.
