Not Keep Mouth Shut.
LONDON, April 11. (Special.) How
T8. George Kopr-el precipitated a
irltlsh miniuti-rlul crisis Is ail the talk
Ti politica'. circles.
When Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-tnan
sent his resignation to King Ed
ward at Biarritz. Friday. April 3. ly
special messenger, the Intention was
tlmt It should not bo made public until
Monday. April 13.
This was by arrangement with Her
bert H. Asqulth. to give him time to
complete quietly a plan of Cabinet re
construction before proceeding to Biar
ritz to see the King, and also to en
able the government to proceed with
the business of Parliament until a
couple of days before the date Already
arranged tor adjournment over the
J-'aster recess. This. In view of the
Immense, mass of legislative work be
fore the House of Commons, was of
Importance to the government.
Woman Gave the Hint.
The King received Sir Henry's resig
nation last Sunday morning and at
luncheon that day a remark let fall. It
is said, by Mrs. Keppel, was seized
tipon by one of the company, a French
diplomat, who immediately telegraphed
the French Premier that Sir Henry
had sent in his resignation. Premier
C'lemenceau at once communicated the
news to the official paper, "the Temps,
whIMi published it Sunday afternoon.
It appears that Mrs. Keppel did not
say directly that Sir Henry had re
signed, but made some remark about
a possible alteration In the King's
holiday arrangements, which the keen
Frenchman Instantly Interpreted as in
dicating Sir Henry actual or Immi
nent retirement. "When the statement
was published ifi the Temps, there was
nothing; for It but to make a clean
breast of the secret and so the King
gave an authorized announcement to
the' Havas Agency.
Aquith's Plans Spoiled.
Mr. AsQuitli was dumbfounded and
desperately angered when inquiry at
his house Sunday evening showed that
all his plans had been shuttered and
that Cabinet reconstruction, which was
to have been completed secretly and
disclosed only when finished, would
have to be carried on In the full blaze
of publicity, hampered by press and
political influences, and that ten days
of the Parliament session would be
lost when every hour is valuable.
Makes Him Angry With Press.
It will be Impossible, of course, to
carry on the House of Commons dur
li:g the reconstruction because. If the
ministerial party were concentrated at
Westminster. the Commons lobbies
would be a maelstrom of Intrigue and
sectional feuds, threatening the sta
bility of Mr. Asquith's administration
from the very outset of its career. As
It is. the premature disclosure has
made his task enormously more diffi
cult and Intensified his known dislike
of press Interference with his schemes,
nd it accounts for bis display of even
luore'than ordinarily brusque rudeness.
WIPE OUT LAST LOTTERY
Federal Officials Rejoice Over Re
sult of Chicago Trials.
CHICAGO. April 11. Finos aggregat
$10,150 were today Imposed by Judge

neys and their cases were continued.'

SPOKANE, Wash.. April 11. A spe

Wallace. Idaho, says:
With consent of the two companies
affected. Judge Wood, of the District
Court. In chambers, this afternoon ap
pointed Fred B- Morrill. of Coeur
d'AIene City, receiver for the B. R.
Lewis Lumber Company, at Coeur
d'Alene. and also for the Idaho
Northwestern Railway Company. Mr.
Morrill Is general counsel for botli
companies.
L'p to within the- laet few days 'the
companies have confidently believed
that B. R. Lewis, who is now in the
East, would succeed in raising: money
needed. A telegram from Mr. Lewis
on Thursday, however, destroyed all
hope, and with payday on hand and no
money to meet time check a receiver
ship was decided upon as a last resort.
Receiver Morrill and Attorney Whit
la. HCttnjc fnr the creditors, said the
lumber company's indebtedness is
about $350,000. and all due. The assets
of the company are about $ 1,5 JO, 000,

Th liabilities of the railway com
pany are about $50,000. while the as
sets are $3o0.000 more than liabilities.
The railway company, however, finds
Itself in the same position as does tha

It developed today that Joe Paterman.
who attempted to murder his partner,
Fred Diet, on Swltslers Island yester
day, had written a letter to Captain
Pempke. of the Salvation Army in this
city, concerning his troubles with his
partner.
He said In. that letter that Dietz had
cheated him out of tiO and that he would
fix him so that he would, never cheat
another man.
The letter was dated April 3 and was
written in German. Dempke. who had
known Paterman five years, did not at
tach any importance to the letter and
did not turn It over to the officers.

WASHINGTON. April 11. An enthu
siastic greeting was given to Senator
Foraker of Ohio today by the Balti
more Conference of the A. M. E. Church,
session here. In introducing the Ohio
Senator Bishop Uaines paid him a cor
dial tribute as the friend and defender
of his people.
The Senator referred to the great
work of the A. M. E. Church in uplift
ing and making better the black race
In the lafit . 40 year, and said it now
had everything guaranteed to it except
"some political rights." He added:
You see. I try to stick to my text, but
before I know It I lose mv religion in
talking to you. I lost It when 1 heard of
the butchery at Atlanta a short while a?o.
I lost It again vhen I heard of the
Brownsville affair. 1 would not have re
ferred to that unhappy blot If you had
not insisted upon it; and I lost it onlv a
few days ago when I read of the action
of the Virginia Republican convention at
Lynchburg that ignored the delegates of
your race. I think it was a shame, and
I do not care who knows it.
I don't care to criticise my farty. .but
1 do condemn those who represent it. The
question that was raised in that Vireinia
convention will be carried for settlement '
to the next Nanonul convention at Chi
cago. We will find out there whether the
fiarty of Lincoln, of Grant and of McKin
ey is a Lily White party. If it is. I
assure you that there will soon be new
parties in the field which will stand for
the rights of humanity. Religion and that
kind of politics go hand in hand.
XEGROES OPPOSED TO TAFT
Leader In Ohio Says They Will Vote
for Democrats or Stay at Home.
WASHINGTON. April 11. A letter
addressed to Representative Rainey, of
Illinois, by Walter S. Thomas, chair
man of the Ohio Afro-American League,
with headquarters of the State Central
Committee at Columbus, Ohio, was read
in the House today. Mr. Thomas, re
ferring to a speech some time since In
the House in reply to one by Mr.
Rainey, declared that the "niggers of
Ohio refuse to be led like dumb cattle
to the voting booths, and there cast
their ballots for President Roosevelt
his Secretary of War or any man he
may see fit to support for President of
the United States-at Chicago."
The letter points out that a grave
injustice was rendered the negro race
by the discharge of the companies of
the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and states
that the negroes of the country will
support no candidate for President
who dos not stand -squarely upon the
broad principles of justice. In conclu
sion, the latter says:
W, have almot reached that point where
we can say, thank God for Senator Till
man, ror we believe him to he at !eat hon
est in his expressions and we believe him
square In his life. I am absolutely convinced
of tills one fact, that, should sretry Taft
he nominated for President at ChlcaKO, the
colored voters of Ohio and of the whole
United States, 93 per cent of them at the
least calculation, would cast their votes for
the straight Democratic ticket for President
or remain. away from the polls, thus making
the election of a Democratic President ab
solutely certain.

her almost amidships and cut a big hole
into the side.

sank in a few minutes before the boats
could be got out. There was a panic and
people fought frantically to get the boats.

crumpled off. More than two hundred of

Congress and the Legislature.
The Republican State Committee

that point, but the contest between
Senator Penrose and the Independent

ceptions. The Democratic slated candidates for
Congress were also nominated, but
there were many fights over National
and state delegates.

the anarchist 'meeting in Union Square,
New York, on March 28, was dispersed,
and charging that the local authorities
of that city are grossly violating the
Federal- Constitution.'
The letter says Police Captain Schmlt
tenberger, at the time of the riot, pro
