ANGURIEFF DEFENDS CHIEF
Says Former Russian Minister Was
Not Responsible for Tronble

BT. PETER8BCRQ. May l.-M. Angur-
leff, formerly an assistant of M. Wltte,
president of the committee of minister
undertakes the defense of his former chief
against the charges that he was In any
manner responsible for the Manchurlan ad
venture or the events which brought on
the war. On the contrary, M. Angurleff
proves, by means of hitherto unpublished
documents, that M. Wltte opposed the Man
churlan plans throughout In the most
energ manner, intimating In fact that
It was -v-ally his opposition to the schemes
In the 5 r east which led to his downfall

that In e first place M. Wltte waa not
responsl. . 'or the Bibcrlan railroad. Its
conceptit1 tnd execution belonged to his
predecessor as finance minister, M. Wych-
negradskl. M. Wltte was opposed to the
selxure of Port Arthur in 1898, but wsa
overruled by the advice of Count Mura-
vleff. the minister for foreign affairs, who
submitted alleged proofs that Great Britain
Intended to seize the port If Russia did
not. Subsequently M. Wltte opposed the
retention of Manchuria. After the Boxer
uprising M. Wltte presented a memoran
dum to the emperor pointing out with the
foresight of a statesman Manchuria and
Corea as territory for the extension of
Japan's growing activity, its life or death.
and adding that Russian occupatlon'of that
territory waa bound to lead to . a clash
and eventually to war. When he again
was overruled, M. Witte advised the lm
mediate construction of the Clrcum-Balkal
railroad for strategical purposes In prep
aratlo.i for the conflict which he saw
ahead. Later, when the situation became
acute, seeing that Russia was not pre
pared, M. Witte urged at least the tem
porary withdrawal of the Russian forces
from Manchuria. He then wrote to the
emperor as follows:
"Instead of making an enemy of Japan
we should win Its friendship. I strongly
advise a friendly solution. We need to
populate our eastern provinces and have
vital Interests to defend In the eventual
war with the yellow race. In order that
the peasants of Russia may understand
what they are fighting for."
All M. Wltte'a warnings were unheeded
and he was no longer consulted. The
Corean timber concession waa obtained
without his knowledge.

English Minister to Morocco Will
Try to Aid French Plan.
PARIS, May 1. The British minister to
Morocco, Gerard A. Lowther, In an Inter
view with the Temps correspondent at
Tangier today made the first official decla
ration that the purpose of his visit to Fes
is to support the French policy In Morocco.
He said:
When I first arrived at Tangier I did not
expect to present my credentials to the
sultan before the autumn, but under the
present conditions I start for Fes in three
weeks. My mission will not be merely to
draw up a protocol. It will embrace also
the questions under that clause of the
Franco-British accord in which the two
Sovernments mutually engage to lend their
Iplomatlo support to the execution of that
convention. My government Is all the
more desirous to fulfill this duty since the
French proposition made to the sultan of
Morocco strictly conforms to the spirit of
the accord of April 8. threatening the In
terest of no third power, guaranteeing the
security of Morocoo and providing for the
graauai aeveiopment or me country wun
out sudden transition. I
Mr. Lowther's statement controverts the
view of the German official presa that he
goes to Fes merely to present his creden
tiala and 'la in line with the understanding
of the officials here concerning the purposes
of his visit. Therefore, they say, the
French mission at Fes is not likely to press
Its negotiations until Mr. Lowther arrives.

mittee on interstate commerce today. He
reiterated his assertion that If .the Inter
state Commerce commission had power to

general attorney of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, waa heard during the afternoon
and discussed the laws and decisions re
lating to the delegation of power to fix

supreme court decisions to determine what
it meant.
Mr. Bond had not concluded his argu
ment whon the committee adjourned until

The attorney general has rendered an
opinion sustaining Secretary of Agricul
ture Wilson In his contention that the
law requiring stock in transit to be

not greater than twenty-eight hours, ap
plies to terminal railroad capitals as well
as to through linen.

the application to be relieved from the
operation of the law by the Terminal Rail
road association of St. Louis.
The secretary says that his efforts to
enforce the twenty-eight hour law has re
sulted In 400 violations being reported
within the past three months. , The viola
tions are being Investigated with a view, to
Instituting prosecutions. Certain large
railroad companies have Informed the sec
retary that a plea of guilty will be entered

BILL TO PREVENT RACE SUICIDE
Chicago Council Considering Law to
Ponlsh Landlords Who Refaso to
Rent , to Large Families.
CHICAGO, May 1. In tonight's meeting
of the city council Alderman Ruxton in
troduced an ordinance which he entitled
an act to prevent unjust discrimination by
landlords against parents. It sets forth
that many landlords refused to rent fiats
to families in which there were children
or Infants, "thereby discouraging and mill
tatlng against the probable Increase of
population In Chicago, contrary to the In
Junction Imposed upon our first parents
upon their expulsion from the Garden of
Eden to multiply and replenish the earth,
and against the policy and purpose of our
national administration."
The ordinance provides that any landlord
who shall refuse to rent any house or flat
to families In which there are children
shall be subject to a fine of not less than
$6 nor more than J100. If the landlord shall
establish the fact that the "children In any
such family are of a boisterous disposition,
and likely to disturb the peace or dignity
of such house or flat, It shall constitute l
good defense."
The ordinance was referred to the com
mlttee on judiciary.
NEW YORK, May 1. "This case Is one of
deliberate murder or suicide. There can be
no manslaughter about It. There should
be no comprise verdict. She is either
guilty of murder In the first degree or not
at ail."
With these words Abraham Levy, counsel
for Nan Patterson brought to a close this
afternoon his five-hour argument In de
fense of the former chorus girl, charged
with the murder of Caesar Young.
During the long argument Miss Patter
son faced the Jury unflinchingly. The court
room was crowded, most of the attendance
being women, who struggled to get a look
at the defendant. At one time during the
afternoon the Judge was compelled to stop
Mr. Levy, while court officers expelled from
the room some women who persisted in
discussing the case In audible tones to the
annoyance of all present
Mr. Levy reviewed all the testimony In
detail and declared not a word had been
Introduced which showed any purpose on
the part of Miss Patterson or her brother-in-law
and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan
Smith, to threaten the life of Caesar
Young.
The suicide theory was strictly empha
sised by Mr. Levy, who contended that the
powder stains on Young's fingers proved
he had shot himself. Mr. Levy scouted the
Idea that a girl would be able to make
such an assault on a trained athlete like
Young. He also ridiculed the Idea that
Miss Patterson should have chosen a
crowded public street as a place for mur
der when she had so many opportunities
to attack Young where there would have
been little danger of detection. Assistant
District Attorney Rand will close for the
people and It Is possible the case will go
to the Jury tomorrow afternoon.
Levy Begins Argument.
When the trial was resumed today Mr.
Levy formally announced that the defense
would rest on the state's case, and then
began his closing argument for the prisoner.
Mr. Levy warned the Jury that circum
stantial evidence must be considered with
the greatest care, as any Judgment they
might make could not restore the life that
had been taken, saying In parti
A circumstantial case carries with It the
necessity on the part of the prosecution
to live up to the very letter of the law.
What I have to fear Is that you will be

self of any of the facts, but if I were
district attorney I would not use the
mighty poww of my position to resort to
unfair methods to send any girl to her
death. He shduld have been fair with this
defenseless girl, and he should also have
been fair with you, who lean on him for
guidance and not misguidance.
I muBt call your attention to the pawn
tickets by which Mr. Rand sough- to de
lude you that they wero dated June 8,
when as a matter Of fact thev bnrw rtn.
of October. I had them put in evidence
so as to show you, ss an object lesson, the
unfair tactics resorted to by the prose
cutor. He has also told you ' about the
350,000 which he says was lavished by
Young on the defendant, when he knew the
case was barren of evidence of any money
excepting cw.
Mr. Levy declared that the prosecution
had failed to prove that J. Morgan Smith
bought the pistol, and also had failed to
prove a motive for the deed.
Victim of Her Own Weakness.
Mr. Levy argued that Nan Patterson
was a victim of her own weakness and
the blandishments of Caesar Young. It
was admitted that she was the mistress
of Young, he said, but before that she
had been true to her husband, and she
was as loyal to Young as if she had truly
been his wife. Young was the master;
she the weakling. He would have the
jury not accept the letter written to Leslie
Cogglns as . showing that she was dl
loyal to Young. The letter was not dated
and the only way to fix the time It was
written was to go back to when Miss Pat
terson was in a California hospital. That,
he said, was two and one-half years ago,
before Caesar Young came Into her life.
It had been shown by the prosecution, he
said, that Young saw the Cogglns letter
last May, but there are at least three
letters In this case which were written
by Young to Miss Patterson after that
time. He asked the Jury to read them
and to determine why they were written
to a woman whom the writer wished to
get away from.
"These letters were signed 'all love,' "
he said, "and In them we. have a voice
from the dead indicating that this mar
rled man waa pursuing this girl, instead of
she pursuing him."
Mr. Levy then took up the witnesses one
by one, after classifying them under three
heads official, interested and disinterested
He called their attention to what he termed
discrepancies In the testimony of Police
man Junior and William Stemm, who, he
said, saw practically the same things, but
In a different way.
It was S o'clock when Mr. Levy, who had
spoken In all over five hours, concluded
his address. During his long talk Nan
kept her eyes fixed on the Jury, watching
the effect of Mr. Levy's argument, which
may decide her fate.
When adjournment waa announced Miss
Patterson walked back to the prison with
a steady step. She made no comment on
the day's proceedings.
Assistant District Attorney Rand will
make his closing argument tomorrow.
The dlHtrict attorney's office is making
thorough Investigation of a story as to the
suppression of certain evidence In the case.
A number of witnesses have been subpoe
naed and affidavits will be taken from them
at the conclusion of the trial.
Young Osborne Saya Ho Did

ho lived at 1403 Brown street and who

flicted by the dead man's son and recom

Numerous witnesses were examined at
the inquest, all of whom testified that the
father had made life a burden for his
wife and his whole family by repoatedly
abusing them and threatening the lives
of all.
Leo Osborne, the son, who did the shoot
ing, requested that he be permitted to go
upon the witness stand and tell his story,
which he did.
"I did not inter.d to kill my father when
took the run." said youna- Osborne. "I
merely wanted to scare him. If I had
known that the shot would have killed I
surely would not have touched the gun,
but he was abusing my mother so badly,
and I was afraid that she would be In
jured, so I thought I would only scare
him. I am very sorry that I have com
mitted such a crime, but I have done It
and I suppose I will have to stand the
consequences."

CONDITIONS ARE GROWING WORSt
Strikers Are In an I'gly Mood and
Rioting Is More Open Five Mia
Injured Grocery Drivers
Go Ont.
CHICAOO, May l.-Condltlons In the
teamsters' strike were wcrse today than at
ny preceding time. The strikers were In
more ugly mood. The rioting was moro
open and vicious and the attacks on non-
nlon rren were more frequent and daring
than at any time since the commencement
of -the trouble. The chief cause for the
Increased belligerency on the part of the
strikers and their friends Is laid to ths fact
that the Kmployers' Teaming association
has today brought 1,600 men Into the city
to take their places and that BOO more are
said to bo now on the way, and will ar
rive within twelve hours. These men will
receive the full pay of union men, and It
has been guaranteed to them that their
positions will be permanent. Among them
are 200 farmer boys from all the surround
ing states, who have volunteered their
services and sought position aa drivers.
Today a new feature appeared In th
strike, and It will be In full evidence to
morrow whenever a wagon of the Em
ployers' Teaming company goes through
the streets. This feature will be the rifle.
The weapon will be carried on all wagons
of the Employers' Teaming association In
open view. During the last week triers
has been much complaint on the part of
the strike sympathizers of the readiness
with which the nonunion men, particu
larly the negroes who have drawn and
used revolvers. A number of them have .
been arrested on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons artfl today the attorneys
of the Employers' Teaming company called
upon Chief of Police O'Nell and asked If
their men had not the right to carry
weapons provided they were held In open
view and were not concealed. Chief O'Nell
replied that there was no law against It,
and arrangements were promptly made by
the employers to place rifles on every one
of their wagons. Over 1,000 of the weapons
were purchased today and during the lat
ter part of the afternoon a number of
wagons went through the streets with a
rifle lying across the knees of ths drive
and hla assistant.
Police Guards Insufficient.
The reason for this move on the part
of the employers Is that today, hotwlth-
Standing the- utmst efforts of the police.
they were unable to give nonunion team
sters that protection which the Employers'
association considered adequate. During
the morning Assistant Chief of Police
Schuettler requested the employers to re
frain from making shipments, as he could
not furnish sufficient men to guard their
wagons, because at that time he was com
pel led to make large details at various)
depots on account of the Incoming of nuas
bers of nonunion men. Assistant ChltC
Schuettler declared lator that he had suf
ficient men to handle the strikers, but that
the employers demanded ten men for a
wagon when three constituted sufficient
protection. The employers on the other
hand point to the Increasing number of
assaults made on their drivers and assert
that while tho polios are doing all that
they could possibly be expected to perform.
there are not enough of them to deal prop
erly with the strike, which has spread
more in area during the last three days
than It has In numbers.
Mayor Donne Is Disturbed.'
Mayor Dunne was Informed of the fact
that rifles would be carried by the non
union men, and he was visibly disturbed, and
declared that the police will not be per
mitted to authorise the carrying of arms
by anyone, whether In the employ of the
Employers' Teaming association or affili
ated with the strikers.
"The chief of police will give no au
thority to anyone to carry arms," lis said.
"I had not heard of the matter before,
but the city of Chicago will not authorize
the carrying of arms."
Chief of Police O'Nell, however, declared
that If the employers armed their men the
police cannot legally Interfere, aa long aa
the weapons are not concealed.
"There Is no law against the carrying
of weapons In the open," the chief de
clared. "If their men keep tha weapons
in full view on their wagons or by their
sides the police cannot Interfere. There
is a law against shooting within ths city
limits, and also a law against brandishing
a weapon In a threatening manner, both of
these will be strictly enforced by the po
lice. I (Unapprove of the arming of those
engaged In the strike, and as far as my
Influence goes I shall discourage It."
There waa a report late thla afternoon
that Mayor Dunne was about to fore an
adjustment of the trouble, but this he de
clared tonight was incorrect.
"I cannot force a settlement If the two
contestants are unwilling," he sajd, "There
Is no power I can see that 1 can employ
to bring them to terms; As for the report
that I am going to Interfere In the strike,
I have been interfering for some time, and
everybody knows how successful I have
been. 1 am exhausting every effort to
throw a ray of sunshine Into the struggle,
but at present I cannot see that I am ac
complishing anything."

President Shea of the Teamsters' union
said tonight that If the Employers' Team

rifles be would do the same with the union
drivers.
"If It Is legal for the nonunion men to
arm themselves," he said, "It certainly la
not Illegal for us to do likewise."
Plvo Men Injured.
Five men were aer!ounly hurt during the
fights today, but the number actually In
jured Is greatly In excess of this, and It
Is impossible to state It accurately, for the
reason that many of those hurt disappear
in the crowd or are canted away by their
friends as soon as possible after being
Injured. Thoxe serloucly hurt today are:
