ROOSEVELT 10 GARRY KNIFE AF00T LONG Small Sword Will be Used to Cut Passages Through Canebrake. MAY BE HANDY OTHERWISE

p Jungles of Louisiana Call President . to Hunt "Bar," Boars Panthers and Wolves Eetreat. Xew Orleans, La., Sept. 20. A double edged knife with a straight blade nearly a foot long will be one of the weapons carried by President Roosevelt when he starts on his bear hunt In the cranebrake of Southern Ixuislana Oct. 5. The knife will not be carried for slaying bears, although the president may find It handy for this purpose If lie and one of the beasts meets face to face In close quarters. Whatever other uses the chief executive may put his long- knife to, notwithstanding, the real purpose of the President will be to chop passages through the thick canebrake. At this time of the year the cane grows to a height of ten or fifteen feet, and Is blown Into long windrows, leaving- alleys between them. Trailing vines grow among the tall cane, and it will be necessary for the president and his party, all of whom will be on horseback to cut passages often for the horses and dogs, as well ah themselves. In these canebrakes they will doubtless encounter boars, panthers, and wolves, as well as bears. As a guide the president and his party will have Holt Collier, a famous Confederate negro scout. Collier Is noted especially as a bear hunter, and was In charge of President Rossevelt's hunting- expedition In Mississippi a few years ago. He is expected to conduct the presidential party safely through the canebrake, whore, as far as Is known, no human being has ever made a permanent habitation and where the sport In many respects Is out of the ordinary. STRIKERS JEEK FUNDS Telegraphers to Solicit Money for Six Months Continuance of Struggle. Chicago, Sept. 21. A "rally" week has been decided upon by the striking telegraphers, beginning next Monday, to offset Indications of a break In the ranks of th; operators In Chicago, New York, and other cities. It Is expected President S. J. Small will reach here today and immediately prepare for the attempted rejuvenation of the strike. The chief feature Is a big massmeetInar at Tattersall's. Kvery trade union In the city will be asked to have a representative present. It is planned to make the affair a general labor conference to discuss the financing of the strlko for at least six months more. O. Dal Jones, of the local executive hoard, said yesterday efforts will be made to get each union, to pledge weekly donations. If the organizations will consent to furnish $30 weekly apiece, the telegraphers ligure they will have an income of between $5,000 and $10,000. With this, they say, they could conduct the fight indefinitely. Iluth Sides Oppose Arbitration. The reports of a break In New York caused anxiety along the local key nu n. The leaders insist, however, the Chi cago strikers are still firm. A viva voce vote was taken at the massmeetlng In the afternoon on the question of arbitration. and the result was an unanimous protest against settlement by that method. Several thousand dollars were paid by the union to the strikers during the day. '"Positively no arbitration," was the expression used by the telegraph company officials in Chicago, In referring to rumors President Roosevelt had been visited by XVw York strikers on a peace mission. "I am absolutely certain there will be no arbitration of this strike," said Supt. T. 1'. Cook of the Western Union, "in a few days we will start opening some of our branch offices." Breaking Strike by Auto Device." At the Postal company o Rices It was said "all reports of a setthnunt hereafter will b? treated only as rumors." Supt. W. I. Capon said the company Is breaking the strike by means of automatic telegraph machines operated by girls. "One girl can do the work of four men by our now automatic system." sfaid Mr. Capen. " and It takes only seven days to learn the business, girls get $35 a month, while the received $S2.30." The men A SENDOFF FOR GH! The House Speaker is Cheered as Next President at Champaign. Champaign, .111., Sept. 20.

As hosts with Mr. McKinley was the Champalg-n lodge of Elks, Including many prominent men of this city and Urbana. In addition there were present a host of leading republicans from different parts of the state, who had been Invited by Mr. McKinley to come and meet Mr. Cannon. Several short. Informal speeches were made, and while the occasion had not been specially arranged for the purpose of booming Mr. Cannon's presidential campaign nearly every speaker referred to him a3 the logical candidate. Mr. Cannon made one of his charac

teristic Ehort speeches and was cheered as the next president. To AddrfM "Homerolk' Today.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 20 Judge Willlam Lochren of the United States Clrcut court this afternoon, in a lengthy opinion delivered from the bench, granted the request of the complaining stockholders of the railroads operating in Minnesota that a temporary injunction issue against the commodity rates enacted by the last state legislature. The court, however, made preliminary rulings with the attorneys for the state in three other points as follows: First That the exercise of rate making power by the state does not interfere with Interstate commerce. Second The merchandise rates ordered by the state railroad commission Sept. 1, 1906, shall remain In force. Third The 2 cent passenger rate enacted by the last legislature Is not confiscatory and shall remain In etTect. Th injunction only affects those rates which were to have taken effect or. June 1 last, but which did not because of the restraining order of the court. A master to take testimony will be appointed later. The court said that the railroad commission's order of Sept. 1, 1906, must be considered as to whether it has the effect of being given the legislative acts relative to commodity rates and the 2 cent passenger fare. In this preliminary hearing it has been impossible for the court to go into the minute detail of the financial and statistical showings of the various railroads. "The railroads. In their showing," he said, "offer no charge for depreciation of property. There can properly be made a reasonable estimate of the per cent, of loss in railroad property each year by depreciation. It would be a short sighted policy to reduce the compensation of the railroads to a degree where they could not perform their duties fully and fairly for the benefit of the people." SEIGE DUPLICATED German Army in Maneuvers to Reproduce Conditions at Port Arthur. Posen, Prussia, Sept. 20. The siege of Port Arthur is being reproduced on the plains near here as a part of the German army's war game. Ileal shells are being used in the heavy long range siege guns and numerous batteries of field artillery, and the conditions of actual battle are being reproduced with startling realism. Dummy forts, manned by dummy soldiers, are being fired at by actual projectiles, the idea being to obtain artillery practice under conditions resembling those of actual warfare. One part of the operations is the pursuit of a retreating army with artillery, the gunners finding the ranges of dummies moved by electricity. Whole Country I Cleared. As the artillery is using shells full bursting charges, the ground which the operations are being with over con - ducted has been cleared of Inhabitants niiu uouu'Mic nnimai.o, ami extreme precautions are being taken to prevent any one from entering the fire zones, not alone because it Is dangerous but also on account of the secrecy observed regarding the result? attained. During the day the city of Posn. with upwards of 100,000 Inhabitants, was placed under a state of siege. Involving an entire suspension of traffic and communication, so that the two armies taking part in the operations could cot procure Information. A censorship was placed upon all telegrams sent from Po-.-n. The state of siege lasted only a few hours. Just ns in Ileal War. Showing the strictness with which the rules of actual warfare are followed. Field Marshal Count von IIul-sen-Haeseler. the emperor's aid de camp general and chief of his military cabinet, who was in uniform, tried to get through the military lines without a password, but the sentries would not allow him to pass, although he was recognized. Later the field marshal, having obtained a pass, got through the lines, and joined the emperor, to whom he praised the vigilance of the sentinels. So carefully are the secrets of the guns being guarded that permits have been refused to military attaches or other foreign officers to witness the maneuvers, the- preparations for which were in progress all summer.

CELESTIAL HIHISTER

W RETURN AS ENVOY Wu Ting Fang Likely to Come Back to Washington; Liked Here. WOULD MEAN A VINDICATION Oriental Displomat is Pleasing With His Breezy, Frank and Open Manner Is a Lawyer. Washington, D. C, Sept. 20. News that Wu Ting Fang Is likely to return to Washington as minister from China has been received in official and diplomatic circles with genuine satisfaction. A cablegram from Peking announces: "Liang Ton En. who some time ago was apponted minister to Washington to succeed Sir Chentung Lian Chang, today was appointed assistant secretary of the Chinese foreign office. This will prevent him from going to Washington as minister. While the vacancy at Washington has not been filled, it is commonly believed that Wu Ting Fang, formerly minister to Washington, will be returned to that post." AVu'g Bifeay Methods. Breezy, frank, unconventional in his methods and having some of the strenuous characteristics of the present president of the United States, Wu Ting Fang was a joy forever during the period of his former service as the Chinese minister here. From the standpoint of diplomatic observance he was sometimes too unconventional to suit officials of this government, but in the popular estimation he stood high. Mr. Wu was recalled by his government In 1903. It was understood at the time that the empress dowager and her advisers were dissatisfied with him and that his recall was in the nature of a rebuke, although he was appointed to office on his return to China. He was succeeded by Sir Chentung Liang Chang, who has been popular. Sir Chentung had been a crack baseball pitcher at Phillips and Andover and had lived long enough in America in his youth to acquire the manners and understand the customs of the occidental. When he left Washington this year to return to China much regret was felt throughout official circles here. Means Ills Vindication. "Mr.Vu's return will be regarded as a complete vindication and restoration to Imperial favor. Should his appointment be made soon it will not be long thereafter before Mr. Wu arrives in this country, for he has never let the grass grow under his feet in starting out to do what was expected of him. Mr. Wu Is a lawyer. He practiced before the British courts at Shanghai and learned to speak English fluently and with hardly any accent. He is progressive and enterprising and decidedly up to date. He bought an automobile when he was in Washington and enjoyed it greatly. EMMA GOLD Government Will Refuse to Allow Her to Land From Steamship. Xew York, Sept. 20. Emma Goldman, high priestess of anarchy, is to be barred from the United States. Anarchist, unnaturalized foreigner, ex-convict, person with no visible means of support, "undesirable citizen" on any or all of these counts the "female firebrand of chaos" may be halted on her triumphal return from the international congress of anarchists In Amsterdam. From inner sources in the immigration bureau it was learned today that this decision had been reached. After the assassination of President McKinley, which the murderer attributed to the inflammatory speeches of Km ma Goldman, Congress enacted laws barring out anarchists who knocked at our gates for admission. Prison bars have failed to suppress Kmma's preaching of terrorism and destruction. She has thrived on small imprisonments and preached to larger audiences from cells than she could reach from hr platforms. It Is heliev.-,l a little exclusion will succeed where Jailing fulled.

Victor Williams, son of Percy Williams, is to be the best man. Tod Sloan first met Miss Sanderson two years ago when she was playing in '"Fantana." According to his friends would have been glad to marry her

I A BARRED

before. Not that there was any objection on the part of Miss Sanderson, but the former jockey's circumstances have not been entirely prosperous until recently. Indeed, it is not too much to say that he wa3 decidedly down on his luck for some time previous to this summer. Recently, it is said, he haf been fortunate in his selections at the tracks and has won a lot of money. At any rate, he has blossomed out in a motor car, and in a renewal of the gay attire for which he was formerly famous. Also, it Is said, he has bought a home on Long Island. Julia Sanderson is one of the youngest of the favorites on the stage. She is only 21 years old.

ANNOYS AJOUL TWIN Chicago Woman Chases Hubby's "Affinity" to New York Pulls Hair. Xew York. Sept. 20. The affinity wave, sweeping westward, has reached Chicago. But it appears that even in Chicago twin souls feel that Xew York is the best place for their attuned notes to play the harmony of life. Thus It was that when Robert O'Brien, a lumber merchant of Chicago, found in a heavy, dark skinned woman named Rose Wall, his other note, he gathered together what money he could, and, without kissing his pretty young wife goodby York with the soul Some four or five , started for Xew sister, weeks ago it was, according to the story told today in the Yorkville court, Robert O'Brien met Miss Rose Wall in Chicago. When her husband disappeared Mrs. O'Brien called on Joseph O'Brien, a cousin of the missing husband, and a private detecMve. They decided from what they could learn of the affinity that the couple must have come to Xew York, and so the wife and the detective also set out for this city, arriving Thursday afternoon. They went to the police headquarters and got the assistance of Lieutenant Brown. Heats I j the Soul Sinter. The trail of the twin souls led to the neighborhood of Third avenue and Twenty-third street. This morning at 3 o'clock the two detectives and Mrs. O'Brien were standing at that corner. Came then a cuple swinging along under the bright light he wi'li, a dazed expression in his face and she vith her black eyes telling of bossship. "That's her," cried Mrs. O'Brien. With that Mrs. O'Brien ran at the heavy soul sister, caught her, pounded her calmly and scientifically for a moment, and then she fell back on plain old fashioned hair pulling. That brought Rose Wall out of her surprise, and she began to work her fingers through Mrs. O'Brien's hair. The husband stood leaning against a lamp post with his mouth open. The detective i separated the two mutually repunpant anti-affinities and locked the two affinities up In the East Twenty-second street station, charged with disorderly conduct. When the case was brought up in the Yorkville court today Magistrate Wahle threatened to hold the two prisoners lor trial under the new auuitery law. "I'm getting sick of this affinity business," he said. SiO A DAYF0R GRIME Posted Notice Offering Pay for Murder of Pittsburg Millionaires Startles. Pittsburg:. Ta., Sept. 20. The entire detective force of the city is looking tonight for a man who today posted a notice on the fence surrounding the old cathedral site offering: $10 a day to men who would murder Pittsburg: millionaires and burn their homes. The police are not decided whether the notice was posted by some irresponsible crank or by a practical joker with a grisly idea of humor, but they are determined to find him. Leading the hunt is Roger O'Mara, the man who is paid $10,000 a year to keep track of Alexander Berkman, the anarchist who tried to murder II. C. Frick. Posted N'enr Frlok's nnnk. The notice was posted on that side of the cathedral fence directly opposite the Frlck building, on Fifth avenue, and within sight of the windows of the Union Xational bank, Frick's big financial Institution here. It attracted thousands of persons, who blocked traffic in the street. Before the police arrived the crowd had torn it to pieces, and I-etectlve John Roach obtained only portions of it. .Joined together, it reads as follows: AN ARCHISTS, NOTICE. Iiirdtr tlie rich and burn their tinmen. Too loiiaj have the vrorkinjc people of llila city been trampled on by I lie rich, lion rany It la for them to enjoy wine, women and xoiis: when they urlnd ont the live of the poor to add to their Hches!

The detectives hunting for the man who posted it were reinforced tonight by several policemen in plain clothes. If the notice was written and posted there by . a crank the police say they can find him. So far the police hare learned of no person who saw the , notice being posted.

"What have you to say for yourself?" asked Magistrate Kerby. "The Servant Girls' union has been hounding me ever since they learned I was doing household work," cried Chester. "They think a man has no rights. My arrest Is an outrage. I am an honest, hard working man." "Then I will give you another place to work," retorted the magistrate.
