Evidence to show that the massacre of Russian Jews at Blalystok was plan ned and carried out by the civil and military authorities, and probably was inspired by General Trepoff, is pre sented to the douma by the commis sion which investigated the affair.

Massacre of Jews at Blalystok was due to a plot on the part of the troops and police, there being no religious hatred of the Jews among the Deaceful Russians there, reports the investi gating commission appointed by the douma. Count Boni de Castellane's election to the French chamber of deputies is annulled by that body on the ground or corruption and bribery during his recent election. William Jennings Bryan arrives in London and says he is not willing to be placed in the position of a candi date for the presidency at this time, as it is two years before the con vention and he wishes to remain free to do and say what he pleases. Doomed Russian cabinet holds a midnight session to consider the change in the ministry. Constitutional democrats in the douma nersist in their refusal to participate in a mixed cabinet.

Will Support Either Bryan, Folk or Stevenson : San Francisco The aan Chronicle prints the following inter view with William Randolph Hearst today: "I would like to state very positively that I am not a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination in 1908. "Mr. Bryan said the other day in London that there were others besides himself who had claims on the nomi nation through previous service ren dered the democracy and mentioned pleasantly Mr. Folk, Mr. Bailey and me. ' While ' appreciating Mr. Bryan's compliment I must decline to be con sidered a candidate. "Let the list stand, if Mr. Bryan pleases, Bryan, Folk or Bailey. For my part I would substitute Stevenson for Bailey. "Mr. Bryan's services, to the democ racy are too well recognized to be rehearsed. He has led the party con spicuously in presedential campaigns and one senatorial campaign. In the national campaigns he has made the issues himself, and expounded them wun a priinancy uneaualed. unan- proached. Folk's Services Real "Mr. Folk's services to the democ racy are notable and real. In fact. his services have been rendered to all citizens, irrespective of party, for his career as an honest and' efficient public servant is an example to republicans and democrats alike. As for Mr. . Bailey, well, Bailey's services have been rendered to that corporation end of the democracy that do not consider democracy, and whose control of the machinery of the demorcatic as well as the republican party has led me to seek my ideals of the democracy of Jefferson and the republicanism of Lincoln in the hide pendence league. Bailey's nomination for the first place, even by the ma chine that nominated Parker, would be impossible, but Bailey's nomination for second place is conceivable. "It would have the material advant age of insuring Texas to the democ racy and of eliciting a substantial cam paign contribution from John D. Rocke feller. But its disadvantages are ob vious. Folk and Bailey for instance would be an oil and water ticket that wouldn't mix a ticket of good, pure water and Standard oil. Praise for Stevenson "Bryan and Bailey would be allitera tive and tickling to the ear, but would sound too much like Barnum and alley to suit the discriminating taste of the convention. Bailey, I am afraid, must continue to waste his fragrance on the desert air of the senate. But there is Stevenson of Illinois, than whom there is no finer figure among democratic satesmen. He stand with Tilden and Thurman, a noble type of true American and old-fashioned dem ocrat, respected by all men, but neg- ected in the greed and graft of mod ern politics. "Why not Bryan or Folk or Stev enson in 1908 on the democratic side and why not Roosevelt or LaFollette on the republican side? 'I repeat definitely and positively I am not a candidate. T made the first fight in 1904 for what I considered true democracy, for the democracy I had been taught and the demorcacy I believed in, for the democracy that represented the will of the majority and the best interests of the majority. "I made the fight against what I honestly believed to-be, and still be lieve to be, the forces of corporation corruption. I offered to lead that fight only when no other would undertakg that task. I consider .that I did mss duty in that contest, but I will nevec undertake another one in that way; A man's motives are much misunder stood and his purposes much misrep resented if he can be charged with having a personal object to attain. Will War On Trusts . "I am, moreover, well pleased, as I am well satisfied, to use the power of my publications to drive out of office the white slaves- of the trusts and to promote the fortunes of the honest" servants of the people and I can not do this as effectually if I am mixed up in purely party politics. In the po litical fair, whenever I see a trust owned head I am going to hit it, no matter what party it is said to belong to. I have been hitting the corpora tion crown of Mr. Tom Taggart, best known as a gambling house keeper, and after that as chairman of the na tional committee, and am glad that the governor of Indiana has just or dered the attorney general to proceed against Mr. Taggart for maintaining a gambling den, and that the sheriff has raided his establishment. "I have been hitting the head of Mr. Guffeyof Pennsylvania," a gentle man who is a politician in business and a Standard Oil agent in politics. I am glad to see that the sincere democrats of Pennsylvania have re pudiated Mr. Guffey and have united with the Lincoln republicans in an honest effort to represent the people. Aiding Fellow Men "I think that I am doing a work that is of value to my fellow citizens and I am content. I do not say that I will not run for any office, for I am willing to run as I did last fall to break up a political trust, a criminal combination between both parties or to help defeat those wretched little political sneak thieves that are lifted into the open window of public office by the corporations to pass out to them the people's property. . . "I am willing to join in any inde pendent movement, the object of which is to. free parties from boss rule and corporation control, and to give the people a free voice in the management ' of their own affairs. "I am eager to see the line drawn, irrespective of party, between those who believe in special. privileges and those who believe in popular rights, between the producing classes and the plundering corporations, and wherever that line is drawn I will gladly fight in the lead or in the ranks as re quired." Contest Over Estate San Francisco A contest over the estate of the late Jackson McKcnty, valued at $175,000, has been instituted by the decedent's heirs, Clayton and Howard McKenty, who assert that the signature to the will was forged and that McKenty was of unsound mind at the time it was evecuted. Matthew H. Messebert of Douglasville, Pa., the sole legatee and executor, died "re cently. DECLARE IN FAVOR OF BRYAN Baton Rouge, La.
