ROOSEVELT MAY
ttr
Europe Looks to Him to Make
Peace Conference a
Success.
KNOWS NATIONS' TERMS
He Would Step In to "Break Deadlock.
Plan to "Disarm Port Arthur
and 'Vladivostok Cred
ited to Him.
CHICAGO, July 23. (Special.) The
Post's London correspondent cables as
follows:
In spite of Mr. Roosevelt's repudiation
of an Intention to become active In the
peace negotiations beyond formally Intro
ducing Baron Komura and M. Wltte,
there Is a persistent belief In London and
Paris among persons not .disposed to
guess recklessly that. If an lmpas should
be reached, the "expert diplomatist of
the White House," -who is a good friend
of both belligerents, would find a way to
peace with honor for each. ,
"It would "be a calamity of almost end
less complications were thenegotlatlons
to come to nothing, says a Week-end
writer.. "There would be three, perhaps
four, years more of war, and then the
whole business of negotiation to be gone
through with again. But can any one
Imagine the embroilments during the pro
longation? It may sound Quixotic, but
there is no sense in It."
Reports from Washington that Japan
may agree not to fortify Port Arthur In
case Russia will consent to the neutral
ization of Vladivostok are Interpreted as
showing that American influence in mod
erating Japan's terms may already be
present and the strongty optimistic tone
of the Washington Government is con
sidered a reflection of Mr. Roosevelt's"
knowledge of the situation.
"We may take it for a certainty,"
says the Matin, "that the statesman who
is best informed as to the lrriduclble
minimum of Japan and the maximum of
Russia la the American President, who Is
directly responsible for the negotiations
and the man best qualified In the world to
keep tho envoys together, once having
.got them there. Things are coming out
well, unless European powers become per
niciously active in their own interests."
It is highly improbable that Emperor
W)Iliam has. any thing to gain by oppos
ing peace that would not 'tie more than
doubled by Its early establishment.
WAR PARTY GAINS RECRUITS
Claim of Indemnity Causes Vigorous
Action in War Office.
ST. PETERSBURG, July SO. (2:05 A.
M.) The intimation of Mr. Sato. Baron
Komura's secretary, that Japan "will
claim full Indemnification for the cost of
the war beside the Island of Sakhalin
has gained recruits for the war party
from among the class which had hoped
Russia would be able to offer .the rail
roads to Port Arthur and Dalny. tha
Island of Sakhalin, and other valuable
considerations In lieu of a direct cash
indemnity. j
The War Offlce Is not .slackening prep
arations for continuing the war In case
the peace negotiations are unsuccessful..
'The gap In General Lljgevltch's army,
caused by the losses at Mukden has been
filled and the railroad Is working to its
full capacity, carrying reinforcements to
form fresh corps.
A dispatch from Irkutsk announces the
completion of work ou the trans-Baikal
line. In order to relieve the traffic on the
railroad. Prince Hllkoff, Minister of Rail-.
road Communications, has sent three
steamers loaded with rails and a flotilla
of river steamers by way of tho Arctic
Ocean to the mouth xt the Yenisei River,
whence they will be transported by that
river to Krasnoyarsk, which Is within 4i0
miles of Lake Baikal.
CHINA WANTS INDEMNITY" TOO
Russia Must Pay for Illegal Occu
pation for Manchuria.
BERLIN, July 30. The Lokal Anzelger
prints an Interview with a prominent
.Chinese diplomatist. evidently the
Chinese Minister at Berlin, who says that
the Dowager Empress and the Emperor
nave sent a circular letter to all Vice
roys and Governors and to Chinese Mln-.
-lsters abroad, asking them to state fully
their view as to what attitude China
should take in the settlement of the Man
churian question.
The diplomatist further states that
China, in determining what indemnity to
demand from Russia, will include not only
the reduction In public revenues during
the war. but a sum sufficient to cover
'damages suffered through years of illegal
(occupation of that country. He assumes
that Jaruin will keen her word and hand
'over Manchuria to China, but thinks It
will be Impossible for China to install the
,old form of government there, since the
improvements the Russians and Japaneso
have introduced make a modern system
of administration necessary. The dlplo-
jmatist concludes:.
(a mere spectator, but will assert her
'claims with energy In the Portsmouth
negotiations and Interesting developments
will certainly follow."
TURN THEIR GUNS ON SATO
Russian Papers Say Terms Are Hh
mlllatlng and Would Fight On.'
ST. PETERSBURG, July 29. The tone
5 of the Russian press grows more, warlike
&b tne peace conicrence a raws nigh. The
government on all sides Is urged to resist
humiliating demands, even at the cost of
continuing the war.
"Peace, on the terms outlined br Mr.
Sato," says the Russ, which is theVirst
paper to comment seriously on the Sato
Interviews', "can only be an armistice."
The Russ, which has now the largesj
uikiw iDiivwinis, unas me Japanese ae
masd far from moderate, and sees little
ckajfce of the conference ending euccene
fuHy If Mr. Sato has correctly stated the
Japanese position, but It appears to be
lieve that Baron Komura's spokesman Is
acting on "his own responsibility" or
scents a possible bluff to paye the way
i or me acceptance of actual and more
moderate terms by Japan.
The Svlet continues Its fault-finding

retary of War Taft asd MUa Alice Roose-
velt to Japan, "while the United State 1

HAS NOT TOLD PEACE TERMS
Sato Repudiates Interviews and De
nies He Is Komura's Spokesman.
NEW YORK, July 29. Almar Sato, of
the Japanese peace mission, made a.
statement to the Associated Press. In
which Tie denies-that ho has ever In any
Interview given the outlines of the terms
on -which Japan will negotiate peace or
that he has announced that Japan will
make any demands whatever. Mr. Sato
said:
, "I wish it to be understood that I have
never given out anythlnVr that could be
construed as a demand of the Japanese
peace commission or anything that could
be taken as a condition -upon which
Japan would enter into negotiations for
peace. I wish also to deny that I am the
spokesman for Baron Komura. Sensa-.
tlonal articles have been published which
are fabrications and in which I have
been misquoted. I do not know upon
what terms peace may be negotiated. I
do not. know what the Japanese envoys
will' consider as peace terms. I know of
no humiliating or other demands." i

eign Offlce today was shown Mr. Sato's
reference to the delay in the Russo-Jap
ancse negotiations because of the faulty
credentials, and reiterated that there can
be absolutely no doubt of the complete
ness and adequacy of the credentials of

Russia Is a civilized nation and that she
has made treaties before, and that she
docs not omit seals."

Chicago's Mayor Yet in Favor
of Municipal Ownership.
MONOPOLIES' HIGH PRICES
"Private Corporations' Aim to Giro
as Little as Possiblb for tho
Money to Hold Charter on
Public Utilities.
B09TON. July S.-Judge Edward F.
Dunne, Mayor of Chicago and apostle of
municipal ownership, was the guest of
honor and the chief speaker at the Tam
many Club picnic this afternoon! Mayor
Dunne's speech was a clear exposition of
the Issue upon which he was elected. In
It he denied tho truth of statements that
have been widely circulated that he had
abandoned the doctrine of city ownership
and control of street railways. He said:
"For over .a quarter of a century many
of the great cities of the world Ameri
can. European and Australian have been
owning and operating many of their pub
lic utilities. The ownership and opera
tion of these public utilities by the mu
nicipalities has almost invariably resulted
as compared with the operation of these
utilities by private companies. In more
efficient and more economical service to
the public Within the last 10 years, or
thereabouts, owing to the expiration of
certain charters heretofore granted to
private companies, mostly In Great Brit
ain .and on the Continent, the cities In
those countries have begun to take, over.
own arid control their street railway sys
tems.
"The origin and cause of this movement
toward the municipalization of street rail
ways Is easily discovered. The owner
ship and operation of such utilities must
In Its very nature be a monopoly, and a
monopoly In private bands, as long as hu
man nature' exists as it is. Is bound to be
unfair and extortionate.
Giro Least Service Possible.
, "Whenever a private corporation or per
son Is placed in possession of a monopoly.
that private corporation or person so
manages the utility as to give the least
possible service for the greatest possible
price consistent -with the demands of their
charters. This has been almost the In
variable nope of private monopolies, both
In this country and In the old. Whether
that monopoly bein the furnishing of gas.
water, electric light, telephone or street
car facilities, the alms and objects of
those who manage and furnish the utili
ties to the public was to get as much
money as possible out of the operation.
"But where the public takes over or In
stltutes a system for the furnishing of
these utilities to the public, the aim and
object Is to give the best service for the
lowest possible price."
Mayor Dunno supplied many figures in
support of his statement, showing that
private companies In America charge fab
ulous prices for telephones, gas, electric
light, water and In street-car fares, while
public companies charge but a very nom
inal rate. In many Instances from 0 to
89 per cent less than the rates charged
by private companies.
FOR BETTER AGREEMENT
JOHN MITCHELL ASKS UNIONS TO
STAND THEIR GROUND.
Next Year Agreements Affect I bjc 5Sy
OO Mlaeworkers Expire and Great
Caution Will Be Necessary.
9CRANTON. Pa.. July 29. (Special.)
Much Interest was aroused here today by
& speech made by John Mitchell last night
In addressing a mass meeting of 009 peo
ple on Robinson's Field. In opening bis
remarks he said:
"I am going to talk directly to the non
union men .and I want you. each of you.
to feel that I am talking directly to you.
I want to Impress upon your minds the
great work which organized labor has ac
complished for you."
Mitchell spoke of the conditions which
the early efforts of union labor had en
countered among the mlneworkers In the
anthracite region, and of the failure of
their efforts because the wage-earners bad
failed to maintain the union. Because of
this neglect on the part of mlneworkers
from 1673 to 1900, they had known nothing
but defeat during that time. He contin
ued:
'Proud as I am of the love and the re
spect of the anthracite mlneworkers at
this time, the display of love and respect
for John Mitchell Is no greater than that
-which was shown John Slney during the
successes of that other organization, yet
the very men who had .honored him in
his successes denounced him when failure
came because men deserted the organ!
zatlon. I only ask that history may not
Tepeat Itself, though John Mitchell Is not
more worthy than was that great and no
ble character, John Slney. The union has
given an average Increase of $106 a year.
and all we ask In return Is 6 a year.
"I am apprehensive of the condition
which may prevail next year. On the Slst
day of next March the present agreement
expires In this region. The agreements
In many of the bituminous districts expire
at the same time. Five hundred thousand
mlneworkers will be affected by the ex
plratlon of these agreements. If we are
prepared we can gain better conditions
than -we are enjoying at the present time.
I shall not be satisfied until the eight-hour
day is established In the anthracite re
gion. I shall -hot be satisfied until the
United Mlneworkers of America Is recog
nized as a contracting party In fixing
wage conditions and other conditions of
employment. I want peace, but I want ah
honorable peace, which recognizes the
right of American worklngmen to meet
employers and Join with them in fixing
the conditions under which they are eta
ployed. Give me" 350,000 members in your
union and I will pros-use you to maintain
peace In the anthracite region."
In closing his remarks be said that from
now until September 1 a dispensation
would le granted permitting- men to coma
into the union at an Initiation fee of J2.

Mrs. John S. Strosnlder. wife of one of
two men whom he caused to be arrested

Sessions, declared that no specific crime
had been proved, and Intimated that he

over a house In which she had an equity
of JSflCO, under threat that, If she did not

ber of witnesses were called today, among
them Strosnlder, who testified:
"We were to go to a gambling house
where McKee was dealing faro, and Har
ris was to follow McKee's signals. This
simple system called for an outlay of
ttO.CCQ. with tho certainty of winning $20,
000 at a sitting. "We had several rehear
sals at my house, and at Dr. Harris'
house. On March 17 we went to a gam
bling-house. The doctor got a $10,000 stack
of chips and started In to play. I bought
a smaller stack. The doctor lost his
$10.00$. I lost, tod, but McKee had the
money. The next day he visited the
gambling-house again. McKee tells me.
and dropped $3R8. I was not there that
afternoon."

other rehearsal, he was arrested and con
fronted by Andrews, who demanded the
money, it cK.ee gave similar testimony.
