commander and Dreyfus as a chevalier of
of the Legion of Honor.

trumpets sounding and the spectators ap
plauding. Dreyfus in Post of Honor.

PARIS, July 21. The council of the or
der of the Legion of Honor, to which, ac
cording to custom, the French govern
ment submitted the proposal to decorate

Says American Labor Agitators Start,
ed Absurd Revolution Story.
MEXICO CITY, July 21. Reports today
from various points on the United States
border regarding an alleged plot for a
demonstration against foreigners in this
country on September 16, which Is Inde
pendence Day, were denied today by Mex.
lean officials here.
- They say that the internal peace of this
country is assured, and that there has
been no conference of state Governors
called at this capital for the purpose of
taking steps to put down a threatened
revolution in the country. It is wholly
untrue, it is asserted, that preparations
are making for an anti-foreign demonstra
tion on the part of Mexican labor unions
The labor situation is well understood by
the government, which protects working
men in their legal rights of organizing for
mutual aid, but does not allow such or
ganizations to transcend the bounds of
public peace.
The federal officials declare that a few
agitators who for some months published
a paper In St. Louis, Mo., are responsible
for the reports that ill feeling exists' be
tween Mexican workingmen and foreign
residents here.
The Mexican authorities ridicule the
alarm and assure all classes of their abil
ity to continue the reign of law and order.
NEW MOTIVE FOR KILLING
(Continued Prom First Page.
Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry K.
Thaw; Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, his wife, and
Mrs. George L. Carnegie, with Harry K.
Thaw was held in his cell in the Tombs
prison today. The mother and sister were
the first to arrive, and were talking with
Harry when the younger Mrs. Thaw ar
rived. Following the report yesterday that
Harry Thaw had been reported Insane by
alienists employed to make preliminary
examinations by W. M. K. Olcott, it was
said that, although without direct co
operation, friends of Stanford White were
on the side of the mother of the prisoner
In an effort to settle the case without the
necessity of a trial. Thaw, his wife and
Mr. Hartridge, his personal counsel, are
all for a trial, where either justification
of the "unwritten law" or "emotional in
sanity" is to be the defense. The District
Attorney believes the ends of justice
would best be served by a trial.
Mrs. William Thaw and the firm of
Black, Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge, which
she still retains, although the engagement
Is not recognized by her son. are against
a trial. Mrs. Thaw has set to herself the
task of bringing her son to her way of
thinking In the matter of retaining the
Olcott firm and accepting the aelvi.-e re
garding the plea of insanity. Thus far
she has gained little ground, and her fail
ure has not served to increase the cor
diality of feeling between herself and the
daughter-in-law, who is supporting her
husband in his position.
Should other resources fail, it was said
yesterday that the elder woman would
apply to the courts for appointment as
her son's legal guardian, on the ground
that he was mentally unable to take care
of himself. She would thus become a
committee of his person and state and
have the right to take any steps she
might deem to his advantage.
The half dozen or more prominent
alienists who were retained several weeks
ago by Black. Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge
are not. It Is believeH, to work for Thaw's
new lawyers or to make any report to
them. These alienists have been retained
by Mrs. William Thaw, and they will not
be transferred to Messrs. Hartridge and
Gleason. who are conducting maws per
sonal defense.
A Russell Peabody, who is associated
with c. M. Hartridge. called at the of
fices of Judge Olcott today and demanded
from Terence McManus. one ot judge oi
cott's partners, the reports of the alien
ists. Mr. McManus simply told him he
did not have the papers asked for and
Peabody left after threatening to bring
the matter before the Supreme Court
Monday.
William J. Stribig Dead.
William J. Stribig. of 127 Twenty-second
street, died at Good Samaritan Hospital
last night, after an illness lasting but a
few days. Mr. Stribig lived in Portland

jn the transfer business with his brother.
LIED,' SAYS HDOE
Confession Made to District
Attorney Is Revealed.
DRUNKENNESS HIS PLEA
Intoxicated When He Blackened Mrs.
Hartje's Character Paid $500
for His False Deposition
In Divorce Case.
PITTSBURG, July 21. It was learned
today that Clifford Hooe. the negro coach
man, recently an employe of the Hartje
family, in the sworn statement made to
District Attorney John S. Robb, Jr., in
the District Attorney's office. May 22,
said that deposition made by him in
which he declared that he had been in
timate with Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje was
a lie.
In the statement made to Mr. Robb,
Hooe said he was under the influence of
liquor when he made the statement to
the detectives. He said that he was paid
over (500 ' at different times for making
the deposition. It was largely upon the
strength of this statement that Mr. Robb
caused charges of conspiracy to be en
tered against John L. Welshons, Edward
J. Hartje, brother of the llbellant, and
Hooe.
"We will go into the Clifford Hooe
mciter just as deeply as the court will
permit us," says Attorney John Marron,
of counsel for August Hartje, the mil
lionaire llbellant in the celebrated di
vorce suit, in which a negro coachman
was 'named as a corespondent, "We are
not running away. We will meet the
issue and the Hooe matter will be
brought out In all Its details by us if
possible. I have not said that Hooe will
be placed on the stand by us."
Attorney John Freeman, of counsel for
Mrs. Mary ' Scott Hartje, the- fair re
spondent, announces this afternoon that
he will complete the case for the defense
Monday. Mrs. Hartje conferred with him
today and left his office in good spirits.
A terrific struggle will be started when
counsel for the llbellant begin their re
buttal. In order to get in, shape their
evidence for presentation to the court
whenever the respondent's case may be
completed; attorneys for that side and
the handwriting experts spent one of
the busiest days of their lives today.
That the biggest struggle of all in the
celebrated case is to come is the belief
of those who have followed it carefully.
HARTJE CASE WILL GO OVER
Divorce Decision Will Not Be Ren
dered Until Next Fall.
PITTSBURG, July 21. A decision in
the Hartje divorce case will probably not
be handed down before Autumn. It was
learned today that when the plaintiff
closes his rebuttal, which is expected to
be Thursday of next week, some of the
attorneys in the case will ask for an ad
journment until the September term of
court, when the arguments will be heard.
A report was current today that two
new conspiracy charges. In connection
with recent developments In the case
were to be entered at once, but Assistant
District Attorney John S. Robb refused to
verify it.
All he would say, in view of the stand
taken by the court against talkine. was
that nothing would be done until the
close of the divorce trial.
The conspiracy charge aeainst Augustus
Hartje, his friend, John L. Welshons, and
t-imord Hooe, the negro coachman, will
be called before Alderman King Wednes
day afternoon next.
Mrs. Hartje expressed herself today as
not at all alarmed over the report that
kidnapers were laying plans to steal the
children. It is thought the plot, if there
Is one. Is the work of persons who want
to noia tne children for a ransom.
CZAR DISSOLVES DOUMA
(Continued From Papa 1.)
week closes the dissolution of Parlia
ment, with all the grave possibilities
Involved in such an event. Is staring
the country in the face. The Emperor,
discouraged by his failure co form a
coalition Ministry and the distinctly
revolutionary paths which Parliament
has chosen, has apparently been per
suaded to risk a final appeal from
Parliament to the people or, in other
words, to dissolve Pailiament and or
der new elections on the basis of uni
versal suffrage.
It Is positively asserted that Thurs
day an imperial ukase authorizing the
dissolution of Parliament was actually
signed and was to be enforced today,
but yesterday, in view of the manifest
efforts of the Constitutional Democrats
to nullify the effect of their action,
the execution of the ukase was post
poned. Tonight, however, it is learned
that the delay did not mean the aban
donment of the decision to dissolve
Parliament and that a final, momen
tous conference on the subject was
held at Peterhof. Exactly who was
present cannot be learned, but it is
understood that the Grand Dukes,
General Trepoff and other court offi
cials and one or two Ministers are at
the palace. ,,
Troops Massed in Capital.
Evidently . the Government is not
blind to the fact that the dissolution
of Parliament will be accompanied by
tremendous excitement, riots and
bloodshed, if nothing worse. Troops
are being massed at St, Petersburg,
Moscow and other centers, prepared
to apply physical force, and, in addi
tion to the guard regiments, which
were hurriedly marched into the cap!
tal Thursday night, the entire twenty
third division of infantry arrived here
this afternoon from Pskov. This im
posing military array is expected to
over-awe the masses.
The Socialists and the Group of Toil
in Parliament have prepared for an
emergency. They have drafted an ad
dress for Issuance to the country the
moment the dissolution is declared.
Bloodshed on a large scale with a
dictatorship In the background is con
sidered to be the inevitable sequel of
a dissolution of Parliament, but the
supporters of a dissolution claim that
the Emperor must take the risk, ar
gulng that new elections may give
definite results and. In any event chat
it is better to fight than to abjectly
surrender to the revolutionary Pariia
ment. A prominent Minister said to
che Associated Press this evening:
Dooms Stirring Up Anarchy.
"What alternative Is left? Parlia
ment has demonstrated its incapacity
for constructive work and has been
engaged in simply inflaming the pop
ulace to anarchy. Last night the po
lice captured- a nest of terrorists in
which they found two members of
Parliament actually discussing a list
of persons condemned to be .assassi
nated. We believe the Russian people
are growing tired of anarchy and po
litical murder, while the price of a
policeman's life has fallen at War
saw to 30 copecks (15 cents) and it is
easy to hire an assassin for that sum.
Russia is not like foreign countries.
America, for instance, where, when
one Government falls another is ready
to take Its place Here the masses
are politically uneducated. The Gov
ernment represents the thin veneer of
civilization, which covers the coun
try and, if this is removed, there is
nothing to replace it. The Govern
ment must hold on until a stable rer
S Ime is assured or anarchy will super
vene." No Hope of Avoiding Conflict.
M. Yermolcff, ex-Minister of Agricul
ture and leader of the Conservative
Centrists in the lower house, who sev
eral weeks ago vainly tried to form a
coalition Ministry, in conversation with
the correspondent of the Associated
Press tonight, before the ukase was is
sued, declared that the situation was
extremely critical, but he refused to
believe that the Emperor had taken an
irrevocable decision to dissolve Parlia
ment, though he considered that such
a Btep might become necessary. He
was without hope, however, that a con
flict could be avoided.
"The situation Is so complicated," he
said, "that it is impossible for any man
to predict the course of future events,
but I feel safe In predicting two things
first, that Russia will come to a con
stitutional basis; second, that there will
be no great revolutionary cataclysm in
the sense that foreigners anticipate.
People abroad talk of the coming revo
lution In Russia, while falling to un
derstand that a passive revolution has
been in progress for 40 years. The ac
tive revolution began with the assem
bling of the first Zemstvo Congress a
year and a half ago. The present trav
ail is only a natural accompaniment of
the birth of the new order of things.
Mistakes of Democrats.
"The main obstacle to the work of
the peaceful reconstruction of the state
is the implacable attitude of the'differ
ent elements which are fighting the
government. Of course, it is useless to
expect anything from the extreme revo
lutionists, whose object is not recon
struction, but the destruction of the
whole fabric of the government. The
more intelligent of the Constitutional
Democrats, however, from whom much
might be expected, instead of accepting
the elementary principle of practical
politics, that progress is made by a
compromise, committeed the mistake of
thinking that they could ride on a rev
olutionary whirlwind into power. Two
weeks ago they could have had the
Ministry, if they had been willing to
discard what was impracticable in
their programme. Now that the ex
treme Left has definitely broken with
them, they begin to appreciate their
blunder. If their prestige were not
destroyed by their tactics, and they had
at last come to their senses, perhaps it
might not have been too late to tide
over the present situation with a mixed
Ministry, representing the Liberal and
Conservative factions, and in which
they could participate. Now they are
bound to share the fate of their proto
types, the Girondist doctrinaries of the
French Revolution, and the government
might be driven to a. dictatorship.
Douma Not Truly Representative.
"There is much truth in the conten
tion of the government that Parlia
ment no longer represents the real sen
timents of the country. The masses
are not so revolutionary as represented.
The peasants, It is true, who are land
made, and the Socialists are filled with
dreams of an unattainable land Utopia.
The occasion calls for practical men
and practical measures. The people
must not go on harboring false hopes.
If the agrarian programme of the ex
tremists was adopted, there would not
be enough land in Russia to satisfy the
peasants and the projected Socialistic
labor laws would ruin the country in
evitably. "Personally, I can see little hope of
a reconciliation or reconstructive work,
either with the present Parliament or
the Goremykin Ministry. With the
new Cabinet and a new Parliament a
settlement is possible. The future is
fraught with danger and deplorable
possibilities. Riots and other disorders
in the cities and agrarian excesses in
the country will continue to character
ize the political readjustment, but the
country is too big for a general simul
taneous uprising."
Suppressed for Inciting Disorder.
YEKATBRINBERG, July 21. The edi
tor of the People's Voice has been ar
rested for reprinting a reactionary arti
cle originally appearing in the Moscow

Wants Detectives to Find Husband.
"I want the best detective in the depart

rushed into the station at midnight and

out in a body to find her husband, who
departed suddenly last night and left his
bride of a few weeks in' the lurch. She
became indignant and called on the police
to assist her in finding her missing spouse.

WYOMNG
Mob Rule Follows Murder of
Town Marshal at Shoshone.
TROOPS SENT TO SCENE
Officer Shot by Assassin in Ambush
Son of I -ate Senator Moody.
"Sure Thing" Gamblers
Take Bloody Revenge.
SHOSHONE, Wyo., July 21. Warner
Moody, Town Marshal, was shot and
killed at midnight last night. He was
a son of the late United States Senator
Moody, of South Dakota. A homeseeker
named Frank Anderson was shot because
he happened to see the affair. He died
late tonight.
One of several "sure-thing" gamblers,
recently deported from this place. Is sus
pected and an angry mob has started in
pursuit. The posse is heavily armed and
should the murderer be overtaken a
lynching is likely to occur.
Moody and his wife had attended, a
dance at the home of a neighbor and In
response to a call that there was some
one at his house 'who wished to see him.
Moody excused himself and started home.
It was necessary that he cross a lot
which is covered with brush and shrub
bery.
When almost in front of his gate a
shot rang out and he fell in his tracks,
but aroso again and staggered to the
gate. Seeing that there was still life
in their man, one of the party turned and
sent a second bullet through- his heart.
Anderson the Only Witness.
Anderson, who had been camping in a
tent near by, was the only witness. After
shooting Moody -the murder ran in the
direction of Anderson's tent, and the lat
ter apeparing at the door, was shot to
prevent posible recognition.
Warner Moody is a brother of Burdette
Moody, one of the largest mine operators
in Deadwood and the Black Hills. Bur
dette Moody is now in Los Angeles, but
has been notified by wire of the murder.
The local police force has been rein
forced by the entire detective force of the
Northwestern Railway here, and every ef
fort will be made to apprehend the mur
derer. Already arrests are being made of
all the men suspected of possible partici
pation in the killing.
Mayor Qulntiell, at Shoshone, has re
quested Governor Brooks thslt troops be
sent to Shoshone at once, as the town is
under mob law. The Governor is now In
Douglass personally supervising the send
ing of the militia, and is endeavoring to
get them started by 10 o'clock.
Mayor's Life in Danger.
The first theory advanced for the mur
der was that enemies of Moody in his
former home in South Dakota had fol
lowed him to Shoshone and had taken
vengeance for his action in securing their
conviction while County Attorney. This,
however, quickly gave way to the true
cause, which is undoubtedly the closing
of the gambling-houses. Threats have
been made on the life of Mayor Quintiell,
and he is locked in a house, guarded by
ten deputies. Men, mostly strangers and
homeseekers, arc congregated in small
parties eevrywhere and further bloodshed
will, doubtless, ensue.
GOURDAINGIVES IT UP.
Leaves for Joliet to Begin Work on
Private Penitentiary.
CHICAGO, 111., July 21. Louis A. Gour
dain returned to Chicago today after his
futile attempt to break into the Joliet
penitentiary with the aid of the United
States Supreme Court. He left for Joliet
tonight, declaring he would at once begin
to construct a private state's prison and
serve out his sentence.
United States District Attorney Morri
son today said that all Gourdain needed to
do was to appear before him with a mo
tion to set aside his appeal and he would
see that some Judge immediately ar
ranged for Gourdain's entering the Joliet
prison and the beginning of his four and
one-half year's sentence for operating a
lottery. Gourdain refused this suggestion
"If I should go before Judge Land is or
Judge Grosscup," said Gourdain, "and
ask them to set aside the supersedeas un
der which I was released, it would put
me in the position of having sanctioned
the unwarranted petition filed by my at
torneys. I'm not going to withdraw some
thing I did not file.
"Monday I will start to give away
M.OOO.OOO to persons who have lost money
invested in my enterprises which the
Government has held illegal. I figure I
have taken from $800,000 to Jl,500,000 in the
last five years."

American Refugees Say Popular
Feeling in Mexico Is Bitter.
NEW ORLEANS, July 21. E. J. Mathes,
one of the party of 62 American men,
women and children who left Mexico be
cause of anti-foreign threats and passed
through New Orleans late last night en
route to Cincinnati said:
"One of the most alarming features of
the situation is the fact that the Mexi
can servants have joined In the anti
foreign movement, and the wives of for
eigners are in mortal terror of their fam
ilies being poisoned. I was reluctant to
leave the country, but I simply could not
resist the pleadings of members of my
family.
"The anti-foreign movement is strong
est in the northern and central portions
of Mexico, where the natives have been
wrought up to a high pitch of excitement
by agitators and agents of revolutionary
societies. Along the Rio Grande border
the movement is not so strong, because
the Mexicans fear the Texans, who know
how to shoot.
"The educated class of Mexicans is not
in sympathy with the anti-foreign move
ment, but Is in a hopeless minority. The
army is recruited from the lower classes
and cannot be relied upon. The uprising
is scheduled to occur in September, and
It probably will be necessary for the
United States to throw an army across
the border In order to protect American
citizens. The anti-foreign sentiment has
grown to such an extent that I do not
believe the Mexican government can cope
with it successfully."
Other members of the party include men
with their families bound for Kentucky,
Tennessee and states further East.

Of the vast multitude of women Dr.
Hartman cures annually, only a small
per cent of them consider it necessary
to write to the Doctor at all. a

a very small per cent are ever used in

While It is not affirmed that Peruna
will cure every case of this kind. It is
certainly the part of wisdom for every
