.■■■"".■" ■ 325,000 IN ONE YEAR TH£ IMMIGRATION TO CANADA SURPASSES ALL RECORD. The returns recently issued by the •Canadian Immigration Branch shows that upwards of 325,000 persons ar rived in Canada during the past twelve months, declaring their inten tion of becoming settlers in that coun try. Of this number about 130,000 •were from the United States, the bal ance being from the British Isles and Northern Europe. It will thus be seen that the sturdy farming element that has gone forward from the United Slates is being splendidly supplement ed by an equally sturdy settlement from across the seas. The lure of •Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax grown on the rich prairie of Western Canada Is constantly attracting more ar.d more, and year by year the tide of immigrants to the Western Canada plains Increases; there is no ebb to this tide. The Canadian authorities arc not surprised at the number from the United States being as large as It 1s but they did not look for so large an Immigration from the old countries. Still, they will not be found unpre pared. Reception halls are in readi ness at all important points in Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur veyors were at work during the past Season opening up new districts on which to place those seeking free homesteads of 160 acres each, rail ways have been projecting laterals from their main lines, and every pro vision ban been taken to accommo date the newcomer. A recent dis-‘ patch from Antwerp reads: “The di version of European emigration from the United States to Canada ig said to be seriously affecting the Atlantic steamship lines. The Red Star today •gives up to the America-Canada line two of the best special emigrant Steamers afloat, the Gothland and the Samland. These vessels heretofore tn the Antwerp-New York service are now to be operated from Rotterdam to • Canadian ports.’’ On the date of the above dispatch word came to the Immigration branch that the “Vanguard of the 1911 army af United States settlers reached Win nipeg at 1:30 o’clock this morning. There was a solid train load of ef fects, comprising 41 carloads and two colonist sleepers attached to the train, which contained the members of 25 families. Every man Jack in the party is a skilled farmer, and all have come north prepared to go right on the land, which was purchased last year. They are equipped with every thing that experience has shown is necessary to make a start on virgin prairie. In addition to machinery and household effects there were a large uumber of horses and cattle. Some of the farmers had also brought along gas tractors, which will be put right to work on ground breaking.” One of the agents of the Canadian government advises that it would ap pear as If each month of the present year would show a large increase over the past year.

Andrew Carnegie, at a recent din ner in New York, said of a certain labor trouble: “It is silly of employers to pretend In tiiese troubles that they are always In the right. Employers are often In the wrong; often unreasonable. They often—like Mrs. Smith-Jones— , ask impossible things: “Mrs. Smith-Jones, taking a villa et Palm Beach, engaged for a butler a stately old colored deacon. ” ‘Now, Clay,’ she said to the old fellow, ‘there are two things 1 must Insist upon—truthfulness and obedi ence.’ “ 'Yes, madam,’ the venerable sen ant answered, ‘and when yo’ bids me tell yo’ guests yo's out when yo's in which shall It be, madam?’ ” Now He Doesn’t Believe It.

DAKOTA YOUTH IN BADGERING GRAFT ADMITS HIS GUILT k. A. Armstrong, of Watertown, Confesses in Washington Court. Washington, May 8.—Preferring to acknowledge their guilt and throw :hemselve8 on the mercy of the court rather than stand trial, Benjamin H. Knotts, 33 years old; his brother. James Bailey Knotts, 20 years old, both of Orangeburg, S. C.; Albert A. Armstrong, 20 years old. of Water town, S. D., and Flossie Bennett, alias Flossie Knotts, the supposed wife of James Bailey Knotts, pleaded guilty to blackmail when arraigned before Justice Wright.

Justice Wright, declaring that if the state ments of Benjamin Knotts were true, he was not guilty, directed that a jhry be impaneled to pass on his case. Girl Tell* Whole Story. ’ Flossie Bennett was attired in a t’baby blue” coat suit and wore a Jaunty straw hat, trimmed in ribbons 5f the same hue, of which color also was the crown of the hat. She an swered questions put to her in a straightforward, girlish manner. The young woman, who, while only 19 years old, has been married and left her husband In Michigan, told of making the acquaintance of Bailey Knotts and Armstrong. She said the two boys talked over the scheme to work the “badger” game by taking photographs of a victim whom she was to lure to her apartments. She consented to the proposition, she said, and went to Rockville and was mar ried to Bailey, as she called him. She declared Benjamin Knotts had never discussed the proposition with her or in her presence, and said that she was unaware that he was in the scheme until he accompanied Armstrong when the latter rushed into her bed room after Bailey had threatened Rosenthal and tied the latter to a chair. The court postponed sentence until the verdict of the jury in Benjamin Knotts’ case is returned.

New York, May 5.—IBx-President Theodore Roosevelt has prepared for publication an article entitled "Murder Is M-jrder," dealing with the dynamit ing of the Los Angeles TimeB and the arrests made by Detective William J. Burns. The article says: " "There is one feature of the develop ments as regards the arrest of certain .alleged labor men In connection with the dynamite outrage perpetrated against the Los Angeles Times to which especial attention should be called. If the explosion was not an accident, but the deliberate act of any man or men. It was an outrage of das tardly Iniquity, for It was one of those crimes In which the murderer. In order to gratify hts spite against an Individ ual, not merely wrecked that individ ual's property, but, with callous Indif ference, took the lives of scores of In nocent people as an Incident to the achievement of his sinister and crimi nal purpose. ' "The men responsible for dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building are responsible not only for the loss of the newspaper offices, but the loss of many lives. The arrest was made In conse quence of testimony secured by Mr. Burns, who has been Mr. Heney’s right hand man In bringing to Justice graft ers who violated the law of the United States In Oregon and grafters who vio lated the laws of California In San Francisco. Pays Trlbuta t» Burns. "He has proceeded with Impartial se verity against the most Influential poll-' tlclans and the richest business men. It happens that the men who he has now arrested are members of a labor organization, Just as men whom he formerly arrested were members of the republican or democratic parties or of great and wealthy corporations. “It would have been a wicked thing In the former cases with which Mr. Bums had to do for leading republi cans or democrats to combine to break him down and support the accused merely because the accused belonged to that political party, and It would have been a wicked thing for big cap italists and big business men to make common cause with the capitalists against whom he proceeded merely be cause they were capitalists. Cautions Union Leaders. "No worse service can be rendered by labor union leaders to the cause of unionism than that which they render when they seek to Identify the cause of unionism with the cause of any man guilty of a murderous attack of this nature. I have no Idea whether the men arrested on Mr. Burns' state ments are or are not guilty; the la bor leaders In question have no Idea whether or not they are. They are en titled to an absolutely fair trial. If they have no money to provide coun sel for themselves, then It would be entirely proper fqr any body of men to furnish them the requisite funds, sim ply as an Incident of securing them a fair trial. "But it Is grossly improper to try to create a public opinion In favor of the arrested men simply because the crime of which they are accused Is committed against a capitalist or a corporation, and because the men who are charged with committing it are members of a labor union. This is an Iniquity as gross as It wrould have been If, when three years ago the sugar trust was Indicted for swindling oper ations In the New York custom house, tire forces of organized capital had been put behind the Indicted men o.i the ground that the attack on capitalists guilty of crime meant an attack on all capitalists. Unionism Not Involved. "The question of organized labor, or organized capital, or of the relations of cither with the community at large, has nothing whatever to do w'lth this Issue. All we arc now concerned with 13 the grave and vital questions, of fact, whether or not tne accused men have been guilty of murder, and of murder under circumstances of peculiar foul ness and atrocity. Whether we do or do not approve the policy of the Los Angeles Times—and we very heartily disapprove of Its policy on certain mat ters—has nothing whatever to do with the question; the stern repression of murderous violence—above all of mur derous violence under circumstances of such cowardly infamy as always ac company the use of dynamite—-must, of necessity, bo a prime need of any civili zation calling Itself such. "Whether the man attacked lr a capitalist or a socialist, a wage earner or a professional man, has nothing whatever to do with the question, and whether the man attacking him does or does not belong to any organization, whether of labor or capital, whether social or religious, has nothing to do with the question. The one and only question has to do with the guilt or In nocence of the accused. Any man who seeks to have them, convicted if they are innocent Is guilty or a crime against the state, and any man who seeks to have them acquitted, If guilty. Is also guilty of a crime against the state. "Theodore Roosevelt.” FIERCE LETTERS IN THE DYNAMITE CASES Los Angeles, Cal., May 5.—Some defi nite action as to when and where John J. McNamara, secretary of the Interna tional Association of Bridge & Struc tural Iron Workers, and his brother, lames B. McNamara, will bo arraigned ts expected today, Vi. Joseph Ford, issistant district attorney, today con ferred with his chief. District Attorney* Fredericks, concerning tile arraignment pf the accused men. If the men are arraigned on the In dictment returned against them by the grand jury the casea will go directly io Judge Walter Bordwell. without a preliminary hearing before a lesser magistrate, as the action of the grand lury obviates the need for such a pro peedlng. After the men are arraigned they have two days In which to enter theii* pleas and that time may be extended to 10 days.

Mexico City, May 9.—-Sunday calm marked the anniversary of the battle of Puebla, which had been heralded as the date eet for an attack on the capital by rev* olutioniats and the forced resigna tion of President Diaz. Up to noon there had been no Indication of disorder in any quarter. Contradicting the information of the war office last night, Ambrosio Figueroa, representing the rebels in Guerrero and Morelos, said to day that no agreement for peace had been made between him and Minister of War Cosie. The con ferences thus far, he states, were merely those of courtesy. El Paso, Tex., May 5.—Peace Aegotiations between Mexicali in» lurrectos and the Mexican govern* ment today await an answer from Mexico City to the proposition lubmitted yesterday by Franciscc I. Madero, jr., that President Diaz make public his intention ta resign. Federal representatives idmit that they do not expect a favorable answer, though the is* lue of peace or war seems to hinge on the answer. Senor Oscar Braniff, one of the go-betweens in the negotiations, told an Associated Press represen. tative that it was he who had con veyed to Madero assurances oi President Diaz’s intention to re sign. He declared that President Diaz in a conversation with bins had said he felt obligated to th« majority of Mexican voters who had elected him, but the moment he felt convinced that the major ity of the Mexican people no longer wanted him as president he would resign. Senor Braniff asserted that he had personally ventured the opin ion to Madero that President Diaz would resign immediately after peace was restored. What Braniff Saya. Senor Braniff later Issued the fol lowing statement: 'i "Mr. Madero declares officially that he has been confided by some of us with the secret that General Diaz in tends to retire as soon as Mexico is pacified, and, on the strength of this assertion, appeals to his patriotism and invites him to Come out with a confirm ation of this secret, thus relieving the actual deadlock. "In my endeavor to fight the antl Diaz bogey which has been exploited by some, for purposes which in duo course of time we shall make public with appropriate and sufficient proofs, privately and confidentially I told Mr. Madero that for a long time past Gen eral Diaz was desirous of retiring from public life. Why Diaz Would Quit. “I told him that now more than ever Diaz was anxious to retire to private life, not only becauso ho thought that he deserved a few years’ rest and re lief from the terrific responsibilities of the last 30 years, but because he want ed to have the happiness of witness ing the consolidation of his country’s) stability through its political emanci pation to be brought about by a pa triotically exercised suffrage, but that his obligations toward the majority of voters, who had re-elected him to gether witli the prudence of the patriot, tho dignity of the executive, and the prestige and credit of the government and country, both nt homo and abroad, precluded his retirement under pres sure of an armed revolution. “Alongside of this determination the government was cheerfully willing to recognize and implant promptly all such reforms, however radical, as responded to the well defined general public de mands. In demonstration of good faith it stood ready to grant all practical guarantees to the effect of irrevocably binding tho administration to these re forms, but tills in a dignified and de corous manner.’’ ' Senor Braniff lauded the sincerity of the government, and declared that “it now was up to Mr. Madero and his followers” to meet the government In the same spirit. WAITING THE WORD FROM DIAZ AS TO RESIGNATION El Paso. Tex., May 6.—Cherishing the hope that President Diaz would make good his privately announced In tention of laying down the reins of government by a public announcement that he has done so, would thus end at once the revolution that Is tearing Mexico to pieces, insurrecto leaders at the Madero camp across the Rio Grande waited expectantly today for news from Mexico City. Judge Carbajal, the government peace envoy to whom the throe insur gent commissioners yesterday pre sented General Madero’s suggestion that President Diaz make public the private assurance already given of his Intention to resign, remained In his yoom at a hotel here to receive tele graphic Instructions as to how- to deal with the rebel demand. On the interpretation of the Mexican president's reply depends the fate ol Mexico, rebel leaders declared today .Should an unfavorable reply be re peace negotiations and continue the argument with arms. They have no al ternative, they say, for telegrams have been pouring Into the headquarters ol General Mudero from revolutionary Chieftains from all pai ts of Mexico, warning him that if he consents to any irrangement which will continue Gen eral Diaz in power they will renounce his leadership and continue tlfe rebel lion independently. Reports also have been received at the Madero eainp ol the mobilization of large bodies of rebel troc>s prepared to march on the City of Mexico if necessary. RUMORS OF ATTACKS IN MANY CITIES OF MEXICO Mexico City, May 6.—Although today, the 6th of May, one of Mcxico s great national holidays, as the anniversary if the victory of General Diaz's troops ever the French, has been fixed on by scores of rumor mongers during the past week as the date for a concerted Insurrectd attack on many of the coun try’s cities and even on the capital it self, residents of the capital were In clined to smile when one mentioned the probability of immediate attack. TAFT URGES PEACE WITH ALL NATIONS President Says United States Has No Wish to Extend Territory. Baltimore, May 6.—President Taft, In Jil» speech at the opening of the third national peace conference here yester day, said the United States would keep) hands oft and not seek to extend ltal domain or to acquire foreign territory.; He made no mention of Mexico, but to those who heard him it was evident the? trouble there and the suspicion of the South American republics as to the in-1 tentlon of this nation In regard to its' neighbors had Inspired him. "One of the difficulties the United? States finds Is the natural suspicions! that the countries engaged have of the! motives which the United States has in tendering Its good offices," continued the president. "Asseveration of good faith helps but little where the suspic ion Is real, and yet I like to aval) my- ’ self of an opportunity in such presence as this to assert that there la not in ths whole breadth and length of the United States among Its people any de sire for territorial aggrandizement, and that Its people as a whole will not per mit Its government. If It would, to take any steps In respect to foreign peoples looking to a forcible extension of our political power. “We have had wars and we know what they are. We know what respon sibilities they entail, the burdens and losses and horrors, and we would have none of them. We have a magnificent domain of our own In which we are at tempting to work out and show to the world success In popular government, and we need no more territory In which to show this. “But we have attained great pros-) perlty and great power. We have be-1 come a powerful member of the com munity of nations In which we live, and there la, therefore, thrust tlpon us necessarily a care and responsibility of the peace of the world In our neigh borhood and a burden of helping those, nations that cannot help themselves, if we may do that peacefully and ef fectively." ’ GRAND JURY ACCUSES FIVE SDLDNS DF OHIO Indictments Found Against) Them on Charges of Legis lative Grafting.
