continued until May 25. With one exception
the bonds of these men were fixed at SIT.OijO.
The bonds of Henry J. Neuman, financial

8T. PETERSBURG, May lB.-Wlth tho
Russian May day happily passed without
general disorders, the authorities breathe
easier and are Inclined to regard the danger
of a really serious interior crisis this
spring as over. Turbulence doubtless will
continue with sporadic disorders, but the
plans of the social democrats ahd social
revolutionists to produce disaffection
among the troops and co-ordinate peasant
and workmen's movements for the creation
of a state of general anarchy have slg
nally failed.
The only place whence acute disorder was
reported yesterday was Klshlneff, and that
was In no sense attributable to the revo
lutlonlsts. Apparently a crowd of soldiers
off duty got out of hand, pillaged shops
and even government buildings, and created
a reign of terror among the Inhabitants
until surrounded and arrested by their
comrades.
It Is now evident that while social demo'
crats and social revolutionists made a lot
of noise, they had neither organization nor
real leadership behind them. Even the
terrorists held uloof while waiting for
bigger game. These two parties, which al
leady have forfeited the sympathy of the
major portion of the liberals, now stand
discredited by their failure with the work'
lng classes generally.
Attempt at Strike Fails.
The attempt to retrieve their lost pres
tige in bt, Petersburg by proclaiming a
general strike for today has also broken
down, tho workmen refusing to follow their
leadership. A period of calm is now likely
to supervene, In which tho Intelligent ele
ments of reform, which aro not In sym
pathy with violence, will devote themselves,
as they are now doing, to discussing and
elaborating Ideas of the form which the
promised popular representation should
take and to bringing rational pressure to
bear on the govamnent to meet their
views.
Everything now depends on Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky, but cool observers are more
and more convinced that the reforms of
the Russian state, like all their prede
cessors, will come from above and not
from below. The people are not ripe for
physical revolution. In the meantime re
forms In all directions are being worked
out, although the liberals are too Impa
tient to properly appreciate the great
changes which are gradually being effected.
The repeal of the law prohibiting Poles
from buying land will be followed by a
general amelioration of the condition of
the Jews, touching particularly the exten
sion of the right of residence, On which
the committee of ministers Is now ear
nestly laboring.
Bo far as ascertained, the troops have
not fired on the workmen.
Trouble in Ship Tarda.
3:23 p. m. There was a serious disturb
a.nce this afternoon at the rsewski snip
yard, In tho Schlushlburg causeway, on
the left bunk of the Neva, above St. Peters
burg. The Chevalier guards have Just left
their barracks on Horse Guard boulevard
at a gallop. The Associated Press Is In
formed by telephone that the men at the
shipyards walked out In a body, carrying
red flags and singing revolutionary songs.
When a representative of Ihe Associated
Press arrived at the scene of the disturb
ance pickets were posted about the works,
but all was quiet. Tho presence of tho
Chevalier Guards was unnecessary and
they returned to their barracks, a detach
ment of Cossacks having broken up the
demonstration and dispersed the workmen
without difficulty.

FRESCII CHAMBER REASSEMBLES
Government Will Issue !fo Yellow
Honk on the War,
PARIS, May 15.-The Chamber of Depu
ties reassembled today after the Easter
holidays.
M. Vulllant (socialist) presented an In
terpellation of the government on the ob
servance of neutrality In the far east and
M. DePressense (socialist) interpellated the
ministry on neutrality and Morocco.
Premier Rouvler in reply said the
government, as recently explained, had
given explicit orders to the authorities In
the far east to strictly observe neutrality
and this continued to be tho situation.
The Interpellations were thereupon post
poned and It was announced that the gov
ernment had abandoned Its Intention to
Issue a yellow book un the neutrality ques
tion.
The postponement of tno neutrality Inter
pellations, which was for an Indefinite
time, was adopted at the government's re
quest and brought on a sharp discussion
between Rouvler and M. M. Valllant and
De Pressense. The premier appealed to
the patriotism of the deputies to refrain
from accusations affecting the good faith
of the country, pointing out that a debate
on the subject would not be advantageous
and might lead to embarrassments.
M. Valllant asserted amid an uproar that
the government's orders to observe neutral
ity were not executed. He said:
'Neither does the Russian fleet respect
our neutrality, and It Is necessary to
make It do so. It Is necessary to show our
Impartial neutrality by acts Instead of
words."
M. De Pressense declared the country
was entitled to know the exact situation
so as to be able to Judge of its responsi
bilities.
M. Rouvler made a final statement to
the effect that the word of France was not
open to debate.
The government's motion for an Indefi
nite postponement of the Interpellations
prevailed by 4!9 to M votes.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Somewhat to the
astonishment of those present at the
monthly dinner tonight of tlu Phi Deltn Phi
club, nn organization of lawyers, Justice
Vernon M. Davis of the supreme court of
the state of New York, who was the guest
of honor, gave his opinion as to the guilt
of Nan Patterson while mnking nn argu
ment In defense of Assistant District At
torney Rand, who hnd prosecuted the young
woman at her three trials for tho murder
of Caesar Young. Justice Davis, who pre
sided at the first two trials of the former
chorus girl, said thftt she hnd lied from
beginning to end and It wns his opinion
that the majority of the community now
believed that Miss Patterson held the pistol
by which Young was shot; that J. Morgan
Smith bought the weapon nnd gave It to
her, charging her at the time with tho
duty of "scaring" Young.
Calls Reporters Hack.
In the middle of the Justice's remarks
the reporters were asked to leave the room,
but before they had reached the door they
were called back by the speaker, who said
that he left it to their discretion as to Just
what purls of his speech were to be used.
He continued:
We have heard a greot deal In the pub
lic press of late of severe criticism of Mr.
Rand and his conduct of the trial. You
can't prosecute a criminal without telling
what you believe to be the truth. In the
seond trial before me the defendant went
on the stand, and It was quite obvious
that she was telling falsehoods from be
ginning to end. The very air seemed
charged with the fact thnt she was lying.
Yet she was a woman. She was young.
It was natural that the public should sym
pathize with her. People seemed to Know
that she was not telling the truth and tho
great public of New York said; "Why
shouldn t she lie? Ixt her He. Let her
get the beneHt of her lies."
But today In the light of the last dis
agreement I feel sure that most people
are convinced that a majority of the peo-
le believe that the pistol that killed Caesar
'oung was held by Nan Patterson, was
discharged by her, was bought by J. Mor
gan Smith, in an attempt to get money
from Caesar Young for the support of
the combined family. 1 don't mean to say
that she took the pistol from the retlculo
and shot him In the side, but I do believe
that she had tho pistol and showed It to
Caesar Young. An argument followed and
he took hold of the weapon. In the con
versation nnd consequent struggle the pis
tol went on and tne mnn was Kiuea.
I believe, moreover, that had she told
the story on the witness stand as It really
happened, In other words, had she told
the truth thnt the second Jury would have
acquitted her.
NORTH OMAHA IMPROVEMENTS
Clnb Has nosy Time vrlth Important
Matters, Inelndlnsr Ward Bound
aries and Golf Links.
A big attendance and Ibts of business
characterized the meeting of the North
Omaha Improvement club last night. The
committee on entertainment submitted the
outline of a program for a social meeting
In the near future, which will consist of
a May party, followed by a. dance.
The committee on ward boundaries re
ported through Chairman Sweet that there
was but little real satisfaction to be de
rived from his inquiries and Investiga
tions other than that the city council seems
to have agreed to leaving the division of
the Fifth and Sixth wards to Councllmen
O'Brien and Evans, and whatever they
agree to will largely govern the action
of the council In the matter. Mr. Sweet
was of the opinion that an active delega
tion of the club should make It a point
lo attend the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening, and make an effort to
be heard upon the ward division propo
sition. A committee from tho Omaha View club
presented a proposition to the club for a
federation of the six Improvement clubs
now In the Sixth ward, and asked for
the appointment of ft committee of three
from the club to meet with Blmllar com
mittees from tho different Improvement
clubs of the ward to confer on vnrlous
matters of Interest to the Sixth ward. The
Improvement clubs of the ward are the
Prospect Hill, Orchard Hill, Omaha View.
Central Park, Monmouth Tark nnd North
Omaha clubs. Chairman Wallaco appointed
as such committee, Dr. Billiard, M. O.
Hadley and C. H. Bnssler.
Commissioner Craig of tho Park board
spoke briefly of the petition now In cir
culation relative to establishing publlo
golf links In Miller park, and urged that
If anything Is to be accomplished that the
petitions be presented to the Park board
at Its next meeting. The club Indorsed tho
golf link proposition for Miller park, nnd
the secretary was directed to notify the
Park board of the action of the club.
C. H. Bassler and other North Twenty
fourth street residents urged that the club
should take action to have that street
surfaced, with cinders from Ames avenue
to Fort street, nnd that new crosswalks
be placed at the street intersections be
tween these points. A special committee,
consisting of C. W. Martin. M. L. Mc
Carthy and C. H. Bassler was appointed
to see the city council nnd urge. this mat
ter, and to also take up the matter of
the expediency of paving Twenty-fourth
street, from Ames avenue to Fort street

CROPS LATE, BUT LOOK GOOD
Farm Work Is Delayed by AVeuther,
Yet Prospects Are Ex
cellent. Cool weather and heavy rains all over the
state covered by the Burlington have
served to make spring farm work late, but
at the same time these conditions have
made tho ranges excellent and prospects
for hay good. Grain is growing and in
fact no disastrous results are apprehended
because of the unusually late season. The
Burlington's crop report says:
The weather over the entire district has
been a little cold and rattier unfavorable
for spring work. 1 hero has been plenty
of moisture, there having been about one
Inch average ratntall. Bending Is progress
ing, but has been retarded on account of
cool weatner and wet condition ol the
ground. The general prospects for crops
and grass on the I'ange are very good
at present.
All kinds or small grain is in good grow
ing condition; winter wheat look a gojd and
is growing last. Small grains on ine
Guernsey line Indicate acreage about equal
to tnat ot last year, out on tne una irom
Holdrege to Holyoke an Increased acreage
Is looked for and everything is In line
shape tor an excellent crop, bpnng grains
on tne line between Seneca and rtavenna
are reported being little weedy and weeds
growing last.
On the line between Seneca and Ravenna
and other corn-growing points on the Alli
ance division the weather has been unfa
vorable for corp planting; ground too wet
and cold. This work, however, Is being
pushed on the line from Curtis to Holdrege
and Curtis to Holyoke, und an Increased
acreage Is looked for.
Ranges and pasture s reported In good
condition and grass is growing well: cattle
are looking fairly good; slight loss of lambs
Is reported on account of wet, cold weather.
The work of potato planting is going on
steadily, although the extreme mniature Is
retarding this work In sections. The Indi
cations point to a good acreage. A large
acreage of sugar beets Is being sown be
tween Sterling and Mlnto, also around Hill
