Of Bodies of the 17 Shrlners
Killed In Southern California.
Ruef Pleads Guilty Plot Against the
Czar Test of Submarines Inter
view With Harry Orchard General
Kuroki at West Point Standard
Oil's Monopoly.
With practically the entire commun
ity paying respect to their honor, the
bodies of the 17 Mystic Shrlners of
Heading who were killed In the South
ern California wreck on May 11, were
brought home Sunday night. With the
dead came 10 survivors who showed
the effects of the ordeal through which
they passed.
When the funeral train arrived 200
Knights Templar in full uniform were
on hand to net as a guard of honor.
An entire troop of the state constab
ulary together with the city's full po
lice force were on hand to preserve
order. They were called upon to do
little more than prevent people from
blocking the approaches to the sta
tion. The 17 caskets containing the Read
ing deud were carried from the car
and placed on four large floats, each
of which was drawn by white horses.
Each float was laden with flowers.
Headed by an escort of Shrlners and
Sir Knights, the procession moved
from the depot to the three city
morgues, where the bodies were depos
ited for the night.
Large Masonic Funeral.
Two thousand persons were at the
station t Binghaniton when the sur
vivors of he California wreck, with
the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. John W.
Cutler, reached that city at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Fred W. Grumniond was in a
worse condition than telegrams had
led her friends to believe. She is still
suffering greatly from bruises to all
parts of her body, but her greatest
trouble is the severe nervous shock
to which she was subjected by being
pinned for two hours under the wreck
ed baggage car.
A large Masonic funeral. was held
for Mr. and Mrs. Cutler Monday after
noon, all of the 33rd degree Masons of
tho city acting as bearers.
' California Buying Wheat.
Wheat options at Chicago for July,
September and December all went
up past the dollar mark on Friday
and remained there to the close,
with the pit in a condition which a lo
cal newspaper described as "brain
storm." Erstwhile mythical dollar
wheat being a reality, prophesy took
on new enthusiasm and there was
much talk of 91.25 wheat. It was this
sort of talk, coupled with reiteration of
previous short crop predictions, that
brought a flood of buying orders into
the market and set a new record for
the volume of business done. News
from California was surprising. Or
dinarily that state is a good wheat pro
ducer. On Friday California bought
500,000 bushels of real wheat in Chi
cago to be delivered at her granaries
and predictions from that state were
that California would need close to
10,000,000 bushels ere long.
Ruef Pleads Guilty.
Abraham Ruef, acknowledged ad
viser of Mayor Schmltz, and once the
recognized dictator of municipal af
fairs in San Francisco, pleaded guilty
Wednesday to the charge of extortion
in Judge Dunne's department of the
superior court. Sentence will be pro
nounced on him two weeks hence.
After a conference with his four at
torneys in Judge Dunne's private
chambers and after they had with
drawn from his case because of his re
solve to change his plea and avoid
trial, Ruef, to the utter astonishment
of the prosecution, arose In court and
announced in a dramatic address that
after long and earnest consideration
he had determined to withdraw his
plea of not guilty and to enter a plfa
of guilty. He then asked that the
jury be dismissed and the trial aban
doned.
Plot Against the Czar.
A terrorist conspiracy directed
against Emperor Nicholas, the exist
ence of which has been suspected for
some time past, has been revealed by
the arrest at Tsarskoe-Selo of a sol
dier of the guard regiment, who has
confessed to the acceptance of a large,
money bribe to assist in the murder
of his majesty.
All the threads of this conspiracy.
Which is radically different from form-
cr attempts of thin nature, are not yet
in the hands of tho secret service men.
A few underlings have been appre
hended, but the real instigators of the
crime and the men who furnished the
Wood money have not yet been Iden
tified. Lake Mohonk Conference.

READING
Standard-Oil's Monopoly.
That the history and operation ol
tho Standard Oil interests "show foi
the past 35 years a substantial
monopolization of the petroleum in
dustry of the country, a deliberate de
struction of competition and a conse
quent control of that industry by less
than a dozen men, who have reaped
enormous profits therefrom," largely
through abuse of transportation fa
cilities, is charged in a report just
submitted to President Roosevelt by
Commissioner of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith.
The report contains the net results
of a study of the petroleum business
during the year 1904. It is the first
official statement of the operations and
methods of the Standard Oil company,
by which, the report states, through
"scandalous railway discriminations"
and other unlawful devices they have
secured and maintained an "exclusive
domination of the petroleum industry."
Interview With Harry Orchard.
Harry Orchard, the prisoner wit
ness at Boise, Idaho, upon whom
the state of Idaho chiefly relies to
prove Its charge that an Inner circle
of the Western Federation of Miners
planned the murder of ex-Governor
Stcunenberg, denied duress or force
wus used to obtain the statements he
made, and denied that Detective Mc
Partland and state officers promised
him immunity for his confession of
crime or reward for the value of his
alleged confession Orchard's manner
and conversation tended strongly to
confirm the assertion that he has been
converted to Christianity.
Submergence Records Broken.
With all hands well and contented,
with a bountiful supply of fresh air,
and with records of submergence brok
en, the submarines Octopus and Lake
rose to the surface of Narragansett
bay at 4 o'clock Thursday mornimg,
ending a test of 24 hours under fater.
The Octopus blew out foul air only
twice during the 24 hours she was at
the bottom of the bay. It was com
puted that only l-45th of her air sup
ply was exhausted. If these figures
are correct they tend to show that the
boat could remain submerged 45 days,
provided the food and fuel supply was
sufficient.
Schwab's Steel School.
Hundreds of boys from the Lehigh
valley, Virginia, Iowa, Florida, Michi
gan and other states enroll them
selves as apprentices In the Bethle
hem steel works, attracted by Charles
M. Schwab's unique offer to instruct
them in the steel industry, so that they
will not only become mechanics, but
skilled mechanicians. So far several
hundred boys between 16 and 21 years
have applied and been enrolled In the
trades school which is Mr. Schwab's
pet scheme, but which, however, is
still In Its initial stage.
Board of Guardians Sentenced.
With a single exception all the
members of the West Ham board
of guardians in London and the work
house and Infirmary officials whose
trial began at the Central Criminal
court April 24 on the charge of re
ceiving bribes, were found guilty and
sentenced to prison. In summing up,
Justice Jelf characterized practices
disclosed in the evidence as being a
curse to the country. He added that
he was afraid It was a growing curse
and that the people were losing their
hold on all that was best In the civic
life of the country.
General Kuroki at West Point.
The methods of teaching Ameri
cans to be army officers were demon
strated at West Point to Gen. Kuroki
of the Japanese army and the officers
of his staff. The Japanese were guests

Three Officials Killed-Black Hundreds
In Work of Revenge.

here yesterday' serious rioting oc
curred and at 8 o'clock last evening the
Black Hundreds were running wild
through the streets, mercilessly beat
ing people, particularly Jews, more
lhan a hundred of whom were serious
ly injured soon after the disturbance
began.
The police apparently remained pas
sive spectators of the disorder. No
arrests were made and the Black Hun
ireds continued their work of revenge
unchecked.
The tragedy which led to the riot
ing was as follows: While the super
intendent of police and other officials
were In the central police bureau in
the morning two men and a girl en
tered the building, deposited an infer
nal machine in the office and hurried
away. The machine exploded almost
immediately afterward, killing the
chief of police and the two chief de
tectives of this city. They were blown
to pieces and seven other persons were
seriously Injured. The police pursued,
fired at, wounded and captured the'two
terrorists but the girl who was with
them escaped. The leader of the ter
rorists was subsequent identified as
a man named Tcherthoff.
The two detectives killed were bit
terly hated by the terrorists, one of
them for participating In inciting the
outbreak of 1005 here, aud the other,
who was nicknamed "The Hangman,"
because he had tortured political pris
oners. Joy at Emperor's Escape.

cial Revolutionists, part of the Group
of Toil aud others were absent from

sented and adopted. In formally an
nouncing the discovery of the plot,

pany agaiust the striking union mold
ers. The strike began about a year
ago, and last fall Judge Quarles issued

but suspended sentence as to the
greater number of them. Now he
makes the injunction permanent and
so sweeping in its provisions that con
certed picketing will be practically Im
possible. Crashed Into Rear of Frleght Train.

HUMMEL WORKS IN BAKERY.
Is Serving a Year on Blaekwell'a Is
land For Conspiracy.
New York, May 21. In a handsome
touring car Abraham Hummel left his
home in East Seventy-Second street
yesterday to go to Blaekwell'a island
to serve a year in ttie penitentiary for
conspiracy in the celebrated Dodge
Morse divorce case.
A few years ago Hummel enjoyed an
extensive practice as a lawyer, having
as clients some of the best known ac
tors and actresses in this country, but
his conduct of the now famous divorce
case resulted in his disbarment and
the humiliation he now suffers.
His method of going to the peni
tentiary was almost on a par with his
farewell dinner given a few nights
ago, at which he bade farewell to about
a dozen friends prior to his Imprison
ment. About J 00 curious spectators
and reporters were gathered in front
of his residence at 11 o'clock when Mr.
Hummel endeavored to depart for
Blackwell's island without observa
tion. An automobile had been standing at
the curb for several hours. One of
Mr. Humniel's friends left the house
and entering the machine was whisked
away In It. The spectators followed it '
a short distance and returned to the
house just as it drew up to the curb
again. Thi n Hummel, holding a hand
kerchief before his face to prevent a
snap shot picture being taken of him,
ran from the basement door, jumped
into the tonneau and It dashed away. '
For about three hours he took a
ride around the city und then surren
dered himself to n deputy sheriff, who
took him by an unfrequented route to
Blackwell's Island. He will be put to
work In the bakery.
