PASSION ROCKS
RUSSIAN HOUSE
OF PARLIAMENT
Government Demands Expulsion
of Member of House Un-
der Indictment.
MINISTRY MARKED
WITH BRAND OF CAIN
ST. PETETISBI'RG, June 14—The lower
Hms" of Parliament was roeked and
iswayed this atternoon by successive
waves of passion, evoked by a series of
Kovrmment communications, including;
Military Procurator Pauloffs rejection
of the appeal of the House for a ces-
sation of th* executions in the Baltic
provinces and the cool request of the
Procurator of the District Court that
the House expel M. Ulianoff, who has
been indicted, although a member of
Parliament, in order that he may be ar-
rested pending- his trial for press of-
fenses. So fierce was the storm that
President Mourometseff announced that
he would be compelled to adjourn the
session if the demonstration was con-
tinued. The District Procurator's let-
ter informed the House that the trial
of Ulianoff was set for June 27, but that
lie was protected from arrest by the
constitutional privilege of the House, and
that according to a proviso of the statute
the right of expulsion was asked for.
House
Refuses to Expel.
M. Kokoekines' resolution that the
House sees no reason to utilize the right
of expulsion and to proceed with the
order of the day was adopted. '
Procurator Pavloff then ascended the
rostrum in the face of the angered
House and read his communication re-
garding the death sentences. He de-
clared that until the military laws were
changed the court martial had no option
nut to impos? death sentences for such
r tfenses as those committed at Riga an i
Sebastopol. The right of revision he
explained, rested solely with the Gov-
ernor-generals, who can rejert appeals
or confirm sentences. The Minister of
War cannot interfere and cannot decide
whether culprits shall be judged by mili-
tary or civil courts.
Procurator Pavloff, after reading his
communication in a hurried, agitated
\oice, immediately left the hall, but no.
too soon to escape cries of "Murder,"
"Assassin" and "Dog" from the radicals.
At this point President Mourometseff
threatened to suspend the session unless
order was restored. He cited case after
case, with which he was familiar from
his former connection with the military
law, in which the Minister of War threw
the influences of the court martial
against the accused persons.
Charge Ministers
With Murder.
M. Lednitzky, a. Polish representative
who followed, presented, without a word
of rebuke from the Chair, the charge
that Pavloff had deliberately delayed
the orders suspending the sentences of
those workmen executed at Riga, the
reprieve arriving an hour after the cxe-
« utions. The speaker declared that the
Minister of War, instead of answering,
tossed away the appeal of the House
with a snarl at red tape, laying the
i"sponsibility on the court martial. Rut,
he said, the true culprits were those who
brought the condemned victims before
the court martial. He concluded with
saying:
'These are murders and not sentences
and you are murderers instead of ful-
filled of th » law."
Father Akhantieff brought the House
to its feet with a reference to the Holy
Synod's prohit iting prayers for the re-
pose ©f the soul of Lieut. Schmidt, who
was executed for participation in the
naval mutiny in Sebastopol. He said the
ministry wis marked v/ith the brand
of Cain and was ripe for divine ven-
geance.
The House adjourned at 8 o'clock, after
adopting a resolution expressing pro-
tound disenntent with the answer of the
ministry on the subject of the death
sentences.
CRISIS IS NEAR AT HAND.
Russian Government Has Lost Its Op-
portunity to Compromise With
Parliament.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 14.—Such
shrewd judges of the situation as Profes-
sor Muluikoff are growing more pessi-
mistic daily.
The radical elements in the lower house
of Parliament are getting more and more
out of hand, and events in the interior
are developing so rapidly that the people
almost doubt whether the surrender to
the demand for a responsible ministry
would not now come too late. The lead-
ers consequently arc preparing for event-
ualities.
The authority of Parliament is growing
constantly in the country, and if the ex-
treme elements can be held in check a
little longer the leaders hope that when
the crisis comes the Government will
realize the futility of resistance. On the
other hand the agrarian movement,
which is now extending in all directions,
threatens Parliament as well as the Gov-
ernment, and it is Increasingly manifest
that the troops from the villages are
siding with the peasants, from whom
they are recruited. Even the Cossacks
are beginning to rebel against the odious
work of holcfing the people in subjection.
M. Sveshnikoff, a Cossack member of
the lower house, claims to have received
a thousand letters from Cossacks, saying
they are tired of playing the role of
oppressors of the people and adding that
the time-honored name of Cossack, for-
merly synonymous with the brave pro-
tectors of the country against the rav-
ages of the savage hordes on the border-
lands, was now anathematized, and they
desire to right the wrongs they have
been compelled to inflict on the Nation.
BOMB LEADS TO MASSACRE.
e neighboring forests and mobs are pur-
suing them. Detachments of dragoons
have been sent to protect the Jews.
Jews arriving here on railwa.v trains
• been dragged out of the cars and
many murdered. The troops have cleared

turbances still continued.

Alleged Attack by Jewish Anarchist
on Corpus Christi Procession Fol-
lowed by Scene of Blood.
BIALYSTOK, Russia, June 14.—A Jew-
ish anarchist threw a bomb among the
Corpus Christi procession which was in
progress here today and killed or
wounded many persons. In consequence
the Christians attacked and massacred
the Jews and demolished their shops.
Hundreds of persons were killed or
wounded.
The bombs were thrown from the bal-
cony of a house in Alexan-drov. A Rus-
sian clergyman was amonK those killed.
Immediately after the explosion Jews be-
gan to fire with revolvers from the
windows of the house into the crowd
Soldiers surrounded *he house and flreJ
two volleys into the windows. Mean-
while the enraged Christians attacked
the Jewish stores, demolishing the
fixtures and windows.
A crowd of Jews fled to the railroad
station. Three Jews were thr-wn from
second-story windows of the railruad sta-
tion.

When the Doctor says says "it's coffee, stop it if
you want to get well."
Oh dear, what a mean doctor, but then plain
facts are best to know, so we inay cut out the
things that hurt.
About 4 years ago a Cin. man went to Germany
for his health and to consult one of the famous
physicians in Berlin.
The Dr. found him a nervous wreck suffering
front loss of sleep and constipation and about 50
lbs. off his usual weight.
But M him tell his own experience.
"The Dr. surprised me very much by asking at
once if I was a coffee drinker and on my telling him
I used it two or three times a day he said 'It is
poisonous to some persons.'
"After carefully examining me he told me
there was nothing the matter with me whatever but
what could be entirely cured in 30 days by letting
coffee and other stimulants alone and dieting.
"So I put back home and wife got some Postum
Food Coffee for me.
"The first trial didn't please me but we found it
hadn't been boiled enough. The next mealit wasfine.
"I seemed to begin to get well at once and kept
it up until I gained back my 50 lbs. and all the old
sick times from coffee left for good. Now I am in
prime health, fine appetite, and sleep like a boy."

POSTUM
ST. PETERSBURG, June 15.—(2:16 a.
m.)—The latest dispatch from Bialysfc^k,
which was received about midnght, re-
ports a situation of the utmost gravity.
The anti-Jewish outbreak there was still
raging, fighting was in progress in the
streets, the firing was continuous, the
best stores in the city have been looted
and many were dead and injured. Figures
were not given out, and probably the
casualties were njot known in Bialystok
owing to the continuance of the disor-
ders. The signal for the outbreak, which
apparently was deliberately, planned, per-
haps as u counter-stroke for the murder
of Chief of Police Derkatcheff on June
10, which was attributed to Jewish bund-
ist.s, was given as the explosion of a
bomb during a religious procession.
The nolice are said not to have at-
tempted to interfere in the early stages
of the riot. The Jews, who number three-
fourths of the population of the city,
offered the best resistance possible, many
them being armed, but were unable to
prevent the pillaging of their homes and
places of business.
Finally the military interfered, but ac-
cording to advices received here, were
unable to restore order. Several members
of Parliament tonight received messages
from Jewish correspondents at Bialystok
declaring that the police apparently had
given over to the Hebrew population to
slaughter and pillage.
These correspondents urged that the
only relief was in an appeal to the Min-
ister of the Interior to interfere in their
iialf. A delegation of deputies immedi-
ately called at the headquarters of the
Police Department, where they were in-
formed that all measures possible had
been taken to stop the excesses and re-
store order.
Murderers of Father Gapon.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 14.—The offi-
cial inquiry into the death of Father
Gapon has resulted in a verdict that
Gapon was murdered by Rutenberag and
two accomplices. The Government has
formally demanded the extradition of
Rutenberg from Switzerland, whence he
fled from Finland.

BRYAN IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Discusses Situation With Leaders of
Russian Factions and Is Button-
holed by a Crank.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 14.-William
J* Bryan today attended the sessions of
the lower House of Parliament, and
discussed the situation in Russia with
leaders of the different factions, who
appeared eager to explain their views to
the distinguished American.
Mr. Bryan was also buttonholed by a
harmless crank, who had planned to
stop famines by teaching the peasants
to eat the field rats which destroy the
crops, and offered to subscribe $25,000 if
he could interest Americans to take up
the plan.
Mr. Bryan expressed his pleasure at
the complimentary resolutions passed by
the various State conventions, hilt said
it was too early to make any announce-
ment relative to his renomination.
This afternoon Mr. Bryan called on For-
eign Minister Iswolksy, to whom lie was

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 14.—The In-
terstate Commerce Commission opened
the investigation of the Standard Oil
Company here today. C. A. Prouty was
the only member of the Commission
piesent. In opening the session Com-
missioner Prouty said he had received a
letter from Virgil Kline of counsel for
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio on
June 7. in which it was stated that the
Standard Oil Company did not desire at
this time to offer any testimony.
Mr. Kline, who was present, corrobor-
ated this statement, and said that this
course was decided upon because he
believed that a full reply to all the
charges against the Standard Oil Com-
pany was now on file in the office of
the Commissioner of Corporations. Com-
missioner Prouty asked if anybody else
desired to be heard, and1 t■ oniy re-
sponse was from Chief Counsel Mer-
chand, who said he had the testimony of
one witness to offer, that of M. C. Tul-
ly, an auditor in the freight department
of the Lake Shore &<Michigan Southern.
Mr. Tully
Was Hard Witness.
Mr. Tully's testimony was concerning
storage charges made against the Stand-
ard Oil Company at Chicago, and ft was
sought to draw from the witness state-
ment* concerning the methods used by
the railroad in keeping such account.
Slose questioning on the part of the
counsel failed to obtain definite informa-
tion from the witness.
Commissioner Prouty took the. witness
in hand, and after a sharp examination
ordered him to proceed to his office anl
obtain the accounts of the Chicago ol-
flce for the last two years containing
the record of freight charges.
When Mr. Tully returned he was
companied by Henry L. Meyer, a clerk,
who had charge of the accounts in ques-
tion. Mr. Meyer produced a bundle of
storage reports from the Chicago office,
end Commisjioner Prouty, selecting sev-
eral at random, proceeded to ask Meyer
about them. The reports examined
showed storage charges averaging $500
per month against the Standard Oil
Company. Having questioned Meyer
without obtaining any information as to
whether the charges were ever paid or
not, Commissioner Ptouty turned to Mr.
Tully, and succeeded in gradually draw-
ing from him the admission that the
agent at Chicago was not required to
send in the items for the storage charges
against the Standard Oil Company. But
that the account was balanced by a
voucher sent to the Cleveland office.
This, Tully said, was done upon orders
from G. J. Cramer, traffic manager of
the road.
The practice, he said, had been fol-
ic, wed since 1903, but had ceased on Jan-
uary 1 of this year.
There was no cross-examination, and-
there being no other witnesses, adjourn-
ment was taken without day.

Committee of National Association of
Manufacturers Present Report
on Packing Houses.
CHICAGO, III., June U.—The commit-
tee of the National Association of Manu-
facturers, appointed to make an investi-
gation of the packing establishments at
the Union Stock Yards, ha.s completed
its work and will submit its report to
the National Association tomorrow. The
committee consists of President J. W.
VanCleave of St. I»uis, president of the
National Association; David M Parry,
ex-president of the National Association,
of Indianapolis, and Elliott Durand, vice-
president of Illinois.
The committee followed the Govern-
ment inspectors in the regular routine
from start to finish and was convinced
• fiat so perfect was the organization no
carcass could possibly escape the watch-
ful eye of the inspector, and if by any
carelessness on the part of a single in-
dividual an animal did escape, it wr.uld
b<- detected by some one of the inspect-
or;. It was simply demonstrated that if
there was a question of douot regarding
th ■ healthful condition of a carcass tie
carcass was placed under look and key
until it entered the rendering tank.
The committee learned that 93 per cent
of the stock yards' traffic was in fre-h
meats against which very little complaint
ha<« been entered, the principal charges
lain*. against the curing and canning de-
partments.
The committee did find much to erlti-
cfse in the way of sanitary conditions,
an I asked for a conference f the prln-
cij als of all the large packing houses,
v r ieh was cheerfully granted. To these
representatives the committee presented
every point on which, in the opinion of
th< members, an improvement might be
mab<\ and the packers agreed hat these
suggestions should be acted upon immedi-
ately as far as practicable.
The committee, in summing up, de-
cided that the reports which had gone
out regarding the packing establishments
had been grossly exaggerated and that
a great injustice had been done, as well
as an irreparable injury to the cattle in-
dustry of the country. Also, that while
many details of a trivial nature might be
improved upon the general conditions in-
volving sanitation, treneral cleanliness and
a production of wholesome food were far
better than the average hotel Jltchen.
even the kitchens of a large percentage
of private residences, and largely supe-
rior to conditions found in a large per
cent of the smaller markets in city and
country.
"The sanitary conditions of the work-
men in the summer time, while not per-
fect. were all that could be expected
where so many men are congregated in
close proximity.
"None of the factories are conducted
as a show plant, but as a plain, every-
day business, where everything possible
is turned to account, like all other well-
conducted business enterprises "
EXPLOSION KILLS NINE.
Catastrophe on Board British Steam*'*
at Liverpool Leaves Two Score
Wounded.
Wedding rings a specialty, Hertzberg's.
LI\ ERPOOL, June 14.—Nine men were
instantly killed and some forty others
were wounded following a terrific explo-
sion on board the British steamer Haver-
ford this morning. Some of the injured,
it is believed, will die.
The Haverford, with passengers, arrived
here yesterday from Philadelphia. The
vessel is owned by the International Nav-
igation Company. The Haverford landed
its passengers yesterday.
Stevedores were in the act of loosening
the steamer's hatches when suddenly a
most violent explosion occurred. It blew
off the hatches, rent the decks and hurled
the dead and wounded men in all direc-
tions. Several bodies were dismembered
and the deck resembled the floor of a
charnel house.
The explosion, which was heard many
miles, was apparently caused by igniting
a barrel of naptha, and was followed by
the outbreak of fire in the cargo, consist-
ing of linseed oil cake.
Firemen and police hurried to the spot
and the injured were quickly taken to the
neighboring hospital, while the work of
searching for further possible casualties
proceeded with vigor.
After two hours' hard fight the fire-
men obtained mastery of the flames.
It is believed that a number of the men
taken to the hospital will succumb to
their injuries.
MAY BE MURDER.
Two Bodies Are Found Near Fort
Worth and the Scene Presents
Evidence of a Struggle.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FORT WORTH. Tex., June 14.—That
a diabolical double murder was commit-
ted some time Wednesday night or
Thursday morning about a mile north of
the stock yards, on the line of the Santa
Fe Railway, is indicated, if not abso-
lutely proven, by the discovery of two
bodies, supposed to be those of Jack
A. Bishop and W. Jackson, and the facts
elucidated which bear upon the presence
of the two dead men in the lonely spot
referred to strengthen the indications.
The discovery was made by a farm
hand, who immediately communicated
the news to the city, and Justice Charles
T. Rowland, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff R. S. Cloud, at once proceeded
to the scene.
Both men were mangled horribly, their
legs and arms being cut off. The ground
surrounding appeared to have been the
scene of a struggle, in which more than
two men took part.
The fact that another, and possibly
several others, had a hand in the affair
is indicated in the discovery of three
hats upon the ground.

Capt. Thomas Allen, manager of the
natatorium, who was with Mr. Hard-
wicke at the time he met his death,
makes the following statement, which
explains the sad affair:
"Mrs. Hardwicke and one of her chil-
dren had just descended the chutes and
Mr. Hardwicke, wishing t.o give the little
fellow another ride, started to ascend the
tower. 1 was following him closely, hold-
ing the slide up for them. When Mr.
Hardwicke got within one step of the
top of the tower he suddenly gave a
groan and fell backwards onto me. 1
tried to hold him, hut his weight dragged
me with him down the steps. Mr. Hard-
wicke fell into the water and I jumped
in after him as soon as I could regain my
feet. I raised his head out of the water
as soon as possible, but I found that he
was dead."
Deceased had been seriously ill for sev-
eral weeks with yellow jaundice and had
been out of bed only two days. He is
survived by a wife and two sons, mother,

convention elected officers, finished its
work today and adjourned to meet next
year at Norfolk, va.
The president of the North Carolina
division was railed upon to present the
Texas horn to the president of the South
Carolina division, his division having re-
ceived the greatest percentage of mem-
bers during the year.
Mrs. Jerry Porter sent a telegram to
Tevis Ochs of Louisiana asking him to
act as chape rone for Homer Wilson of
Texas, Howard Peake and Jerry Porter
and when this was received it was greet-
ed with much laughter. There was some
tall business when those anxious to have
the next convention city came up.
There was a great talk by the Texas
bunch for San Antonio, Tex., and a
promise of a trip to Old Mexico and this
treat got the delegations that had other
thoughts rather shaky. The Virginian
contingent sprung Norfolk and tho
Jamestown Centennial, however, and this
caught the crowd, Norfolk won with
ease.
There was no need to call the roll for
election of a National chaplain. When
nominations were called for each Stat«
cried out "Homer Wilson oi Texas." His
nomination was made unanimous, but
with every delegate on the floor standing.
