Wasiilnoton, Koli. 26. President Tnft
to-day ordered the United States Dis
trict Attorney nt l.uwrenco, Mass., to
Investigate conditions there, particularly
the charges that citizens were dpprlvrtl
of tholr Constitutional rights an the re
sult, of a conspiracy
The District Attorney In Lawrence wired
the Department of Justice that there wan
no occasion for Federal interference now,
ne tho State had assumed cluirge, and that
no repot It ion of recent occurrences was
expect id
resident Taft was not sal lulled with this
report anil ordered an exhaustive investi
gation and rcort to the Attorney-General,
Ino Presiib-nt took action after ho had
mtilrred with Itepresentatlve Bergen
.he .Milwaukee Socialist, and Attorney
denera'l Wlokershnm. Mr Merger wild
otter the conference that ho had found the
President very sympathetic and that he
vds certain a thorough iii(uiry would be
nude
Attorney-General Wickersham told tho
1'rfsident that he believed the situation
at Lawrenco demanded investigation.
The President U particularly concerned
its to whether any Federal statutes, the
one, for instance, ngalnst u conspiracy to
deprive u citizen of his liberty, have beeu
violated. If the report ot the United
titaics District Attorney warrant prose
cutions they will be ordered.
It is practically certain now that there
vill bo an investigation by a Congress
committee of conditions among tho mill
wor!iC"l at Lawrence and the incidents
of violence thero In the last week. The
ltu!c Committee of the House decided
to-day to hold hearings this week on the
resolutions introduced by Representa
tive Wilson of Pennsylvania and Kcpre
stntatlve Berger providing for such an
investigation. A committee of strikers
accompanied by their children will appear
before the Kules Committee In support
of tho resolution.
A similar resolution was introduced
In the Senate to-day by Kenator Poin
dexter of Washington, who had personally
visited Lawrence and investigated con
ditions there. The resolution stirred up a
heated debate, it being opposed by
nearly all the New England Senators.
The Poindexter resolution proposed
not only an investigation as to wages
and living conditions but also the number
and percentage of aliens and what action
has been taken by the local authorities
for "forcibly interfere with the free pas
sage of said aliens or others from the city
of Lawrence and State of Massachusetts
to other States."
Senator Oallinger objected and it went
over until to-morrow. The burden of
opposition to the resolution was that
neither the Legislature of Massachusetts,
which Is now in session, nor Gov. Foss
has indicated any desire for Federal in
tervention. Senator Lodge said It was his personal
belief that the local authorities of Law
rence had exceeded their authority in
interfering with tho transportation of
children from Lawrence, but ho added
that the State has now assumed control
and is in charge or the situation, which
it is entirely capable of handling.
LAwnu.sX'K, Mass., Feb. 26 A score of
shots were tired by police and strikers
and about thirty arrests wero made this
morning as the textilo strike started on
its seventh week.
Carmello Meliz was hit by a bullet on
Common street and was sent to the
General Hospital for treatment under
arrest. Ho wart wounded in the shoulder.
The idtuation that developed was
boisterous, but oxcept for the shooting
affray it was hardly in the nature of a
riot.
Tho strikers began to gather nt 5:30
o'clock, moving toward points which are
believed to havo Uhmi designated In
advance. Their plan, which was ad
hered to in some measure, was to place
women of delicate health in the front
ranks as targets for the lirat attacks,
At da"wn those women appeared in the
streets In large numbers, forming endless
chains, ami behind them came groups
of men who are said to have been in
htructed to engage the police if any
fighting was started.
A detail of metiopolilan police was as
signed to tho comer of Common and Jfew-
hury streets and at 5:&ft o clock some
hody opened tiro on these men in uni
form, The shots came from a third
story window, and in an instant one or
two men appeared in an alleyway below
and opened lire. Tho police replied in
kind, firing pome shots into the window
whence the first flushes came.
A woman foil face forward in the street
and screamed, giving rise to a rumor
that she had been murdered. It devel
oped, however, that she only had been
ordered to move, and that she dropped
down instead, though not injured. Bul
lets flew crisscross in the street, and it
Is regarded as remarkable that only one
man was hit. Others were injured, but
not with bullets.
A little later, a crowd packed Essex
street. Patrolmen poured into the crowd
from side streets with drawn clubs and
began to make arrests. Wherever a cen
tre of disturbance developed as the noisy
throng moved on officers broke in upon
it and arrested the leaders.
Soon twonty-live men had been ar
rested. 4
Bruno was arraigned befoie Judge
Mahoney at noon. He w,ts charged with
murderous assault upon two police offi
cers, pleaded not guilty and was held in
114,000 ball for a hearing In ten days.
Announcement was made to-dny by the
itrike leaders that 2S0 children of the
strikers Mould bo sent to Philadelphia to
morrow. They Buy that they have re
ceived no further notification from the
authorities not to send away moro chil
dren Acting City Marshal Sullivan said
that until the e;urt or some othor au
thority higher thiin himself declares that
he was wrong in stopping children from
being sent away from this city last .week
he would continue his policy.

Special Cable Despatch to Tug Hl'N.
Havana, Feb. 20. Seflor Ferrari,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
persists in refusing to withdraw his resig
nation which seems to have been the re
sult of the refusal of President Gomez to J
keep his promise to be Impartial in tho
coming campaign and to compol the
Liberals to combine in favor of Heflor
Zayas. The newspapers say to-day that
the President intends to resign.
La Lucha says this afternoon that the
country Is virtually without a head and
that the President is to all intents and
purposes a prisoner tfiiirded by troops
and police. It adds that ho has but
two courses open is either to resign
or to light tho disaffected friends who
have turned against hint on account
of his bad fultli. 'Jhe puicr goes on to
say that in tho event of tho resignation
of Home?, ho would lie comfwlled to leave
the country, as ho would not dnio to
remain and face the many charges which
would lx" brought against him. It adds:
"He has been promising everybody
pvorythlng and letting each party in turn
coerce him. He Is now reaping the whirl
wind. A resignation at this time would
perhaps make matteis worse, but be that
us it may, the situation is intolerable."
The House is hesitating to accept the
resignation of Ferrara, There was no
quorum present at roll cull to-day, al
though there were members enough In
theb'ttldlng.
A bill will -be Introduced In the House
demanding an investigation of the alleged
squandering of millions or dollars by the
Cuban executive and calling for an ex

ments In running so far over their appro

The situation is so intense here that an

CAIRNS SCORES RUSSIA.
Stir Will I'ltlnistely Annex Persia,
Shunter's Lieutenant Thinks.
Special Cattle Despatch to TilK Sr.v.
Ixj.ndox, Feb. 2C. -Frank Cairns, the
American who was assistant to W.
Morgan Shuster in charge or tho national
finances of Persia, and who lost his place
when his chief was ousted, has arrived
hero on his way to the Philippines to
resume his old station hi the customs
service. He said to-day that he was con
vinced that Russia would ultimately
gobble the territory of Persia with the
acquiescence of Great Britain. He added
that' the unfortunate country of the Shah
was already under the domination of
Kussia, whose atrocities in the name of
reprisals continue.
"I believe," ho said, "that until Russian
prestige, which suffered greatly because
of Shuster'e fearless course. Is completely
restored, Persia will have no mercy shown
to her. .
He went on to say that Monard. thei

was absolutely the creature of Hussla and
u. u. t..i -jii..At-
tuui luuKiiuitii uuiiimitjiriiiioii was
released.
He gave it as his opinion that the other
Americans, Poklovsky and Barclay, had
been well treated in the matter of com
pensation, but thought that they would
have fared still better but for the inter
ference of Mr Hussell, the American
Minister, who insisted that the claims
of tho Americans wero exorbitant. He
attacked Mr. Itussell bitterly, saying he
was not qualified to represent the United
States abroad.
Cairns also said that the Persians,
while amazingly dishonest commercially,
morally and politically, idolized Shuster
because of the hitler's honesty. After
he had gone the Russians and English
adopted two of Shuster's schemes to
reform the finances.

NO STIR IN INDIANA.
All the Roosevelt Men Were Already

I.snuNAi'oLls, Ind., Feb. 28. The

ing's papers did not create the sensa
tion here or ithroughout the State that
was hoped for by his friends and fenred '
by the friends of President Taft, Judg- i
lug from reports from nil parts In I
Jndluna. Ills supporters were nil In I
tlie open and thero were no more to
be brought out by the formul announce
ment of his candidacy.
U cannot be denied, however, thut
there ure n good many of the party
workers and some of them men of con
ceded Influence enlisted under the
Hoosevelt banner. Among these are
State Senators, Representatives) In the
Legislature and county and former
county officers and there Is hardly a
county In the State that has not a more
or less numemuM Roosevelt organiza
tion. At the head of It In this county
nre former county officers and a former
State Senator. Linton A. Cox, n former
Stuto Senator and one of the Roosevelt
managers, said to-day:
"The nomination of Mr. Roosevelt
would undoubtedly be the most ac
ceptable to tho party that the Chicago
convention could make, and I do not
believe, that any little or big politics
will prevail to prevent this result. Per
sonally 1 would consider such a nom
ination equivalent to an election, so
completely would It represent the
wishes not only or Keptiullruns nut or
thousands of Democrats. The organi
zation Is hourly growing unrt wo ex
pect to send two Roosevelt delegates to
the national convention from thl.) dis
trict and shall not be surprised If we
send four delegates at lurge also."
Notwithstanding the apparent confi
dence of the Roosevelt following the
organization here Is for Taft and is
working to control the ill di let conven
tion. County Chairman Wallace Is a
pronounced Taft man and district
Chairman, Ruchelshuus who Is equally
loyal to the President, said: "I am for
Taft anil the Jdlstrlct organization
Is for him. lly all party rules
he Is entitled to a second nomina
tion and I lvelleve It will be given to
him. I do not have any fears for In
diana, for I don't think Roosevelt has
much chunce In this State. The major
ity of the Indiana delegntts will cer
tainly be for Taft and that majority
will be very pronounced. No, I do not
think II possible for Taft to lose the
delegates front this district or for
Roosevelt's friends to make any pro
nounced showing In the State conven
tion on March 26, nt which time the
delegates at large will be selected."
0SB0RN AS RUNNING MATE.
(invernnr Asks legislature to Provide
Presidential Primary.
Dktiioit, Feb. 20. The special session
of the Michigan Legislature called by
Gov. Osborn convened at noon to-day.
The Governor In his message declared
for only two things the Presidential
primary and the consideration of the re
port of the Committee on Worklngmen's
Compensation.
The Governor's message Is devoted
almost entirely to a discussion of the
Presidential primary luw, which he says
can go into Immediate effect without
straining the Constitution.
The news that Roosevelt declared
hlmse'f it candidate for the Presidency
stirred tip much excitement and con
versation among the Senators and
Representatives. That Gov. Osborn Is
oponlv a candidate for Vice-President
on the Roosevelt ticket Is the general
opinion, his ambition in that direction
being a matter of common knowledge.
His calling of the present session to
provide u Presidential pitmary Is taken
now as showing bis part In a prear
ranged programme to Malt until Roos
velt could follow his Columbus speech
with his announcement that he, would
run for President.
CH0ATE PLEADS FOR HAMPTON.

Joseph II. Choate told the Carnegie
'
eis i
Hull audience last night "tbat'tbey must
the entire contents of their pock-
hls side of the door" for the bene
fit of Hampton Institute, founded by
Gen. Armstrong In 136S on behalf of
the freed slaves and Indians and which
Is now In need of $4,000,000 endow
ment to properly run its elaborate plant
of 113 houses and 1,400 pupils. There
Is Immediate need for $12.ri,000 yearly
expenses and f 100 apiece tuition for 300
deserving students.
LJl , 1. ..(Mill J. tlVIUVI.CIIil. IMl'OlUCill
which for sixteen years has arranged
this yearly Hampton meeting, Intro
duced Mr. Choate as "the first cltlxen
of Xew York, crowned with years and
with honor since the days when as a
young Stockbrldge lawyer Gen. Arm
strong bad nsked him to plead for
Hampton." Mr. Choate then said he
had been speaking for Hampton ever
since and brought great nppluuse by
telling of Mr. Tuft's generous contri
bution last simmer nt Pride's Cross
ing.
If. It. l-Tlssell, ptlnclpal of Hampton,
said the songs and dances which the
tlfty-odd lndluns and negroes had
brought with them would show the
audience "The real race with Itn fund
of folk loro nnd sured ceremonial."
The Indians In costumu gavo a war
dance, death song, love song, planting
song and ball dance. Thirty negroes with
picks gave the slave song of the road
diggers. A real Zulu prince gave Ida
war dance, native songs and narrative.
The Hampton Glee Club sang.
Major Robert R. Moton, a colored pro
fessor, earned a tribute from Mr.
Choato as "the most eloquent, upright,
downright black nnd white speaker" he
had ever heard. Major Moton said tho
negro should be glad of the slavery
which brought him close to the greatest
race of modern times, that taught hhn
a language, n religion and gave him
benefits that "the ownors of slaves
never got." Ho said Hampton would
solve tho problem of getting the two
races to live "harmoniously, helpfully

MOVING FILMS CAUGHT
THE JUNGLE BEASTS
Paul Kidney Flashes Startling
Views on n Wall or the
Astor.
RHINO CHANGED AND DIED
I'ili'jiliiihts. I'liljiiiuis mid Oilier Wild
Tiling Snapped lriiwlltltily
al 1 Ionic.
The &tt) diners or the Canadian Camp
who sat in the durk about the tables In
the Hotel Astor last night saw a life sized
rhino amble toward them out. of the
lighted square against one wall. Closer
and closer the beast came, head swinging
from side toIdo and tall flirting nervously
Of a sudden the five llttlo rhino birds that
could be seen perched upon the animal's
back took flight, the rhino looked up and
wagged his cars Inquiringly, then began
to wn'k closer to the diners of tho Canadian
Camp.
Just then the! African beast was obllt-
erated and only white showed against the
wall.
"We had to shoot that one," Paul J.
Ralney explained. "He was only fifteen
yards away from the camera nnd we wero
afraid he was about to mako a charge."
So Mr. Halney brought the wild of Africa
and its inhabitants right into a banquot
hall in New York. The reels that flashed
across the sheet were those taken by
tho photographer of his party In his
wanderings through German Last Africa
and along tho edge of the Abyssinian
desort last year.
For the first time since hunting with
the camera became ii sport, Mr. Ralnoy
caught such Iwasts us giraffes and ele
phants, unsuspecting and without their
consent, in several instances, such as
that of the rhino who got too curious,
the man who turned the crank of the
cinematograph machine worked under
tho protection of rifle barrels, which
followed the game along with the eye of
the camera. These films the young ex
plorer and big game hunter showed liefore
a public audience last night for the first
time.
"Let me assure you," said Mr. Ralney,
"that not one of these films is faked.
We Bimply built our blind by the side of
tho only water hole within sixty miles,
got behind It and waited. The procession
of the wild things simply came and they
were caught without ever knowing it.'
It was better by a thousand than any
menagerie or Bronx zoo that sitting in
the dark last night and watching jungle
beasts playing, lighting, grazing about
a cluster of white rocks under palm trees.
Baboons innumerable, striped zebras,
timorous horned things and the plodding
rhinos umbled back and forth over the
wall of the Astor's banquet room in un
disguised innocence. The diners could
see five rhinos before them at one time.
Again two great spindle legged giraffes
shambled down to the water hole, dropped
, themselves about a half story by bowing
their underpinning ana uranic, men
thero wus a matronly, elephant and her
two youngsters; never before had ele
phants In tno wild ikwpu for a camera
Mr. Ralney announced out of the dark.
As plainly as if it were in the next room
those in the dark could see Mrs. Pachv-
denu having a mwit aggravating time of
it sliooluglicr two plckannluuiesout of the
water hole until she herself had taken a
drink and a shower. Then she found a
convenient rook anu scratched herseir
in ii place where her trunk would not
reach. Yet that ludy elephant wus all
the tlmo within easy charging distance
Of the machine which was to bring her
likeness to New York and two hidden
rifles wero bearing upon her every minute
of tliat midday African toilet.
Before witnessing these unusual spec
tacles the members of the Camp and
their guests had done Andes and Amazon
jungle in twenty minutes with Prof.
Hiram A. Rlngham of Yale, who headed
the recent Yale Peruvian expedition to
determino the eastern limit of the old
Iuca culture. Prof. Bingham threw upon
the screen colored photos taken in the
hidden valleys of the Andes where no white
man had over been, he showed wonder
fully built Iuca temples andwalled towns
founu away over en ine eastern siope oi
the South American backbone where
the jungle Is.
So fascinating did the diners find theso

before the long list of speakers had been
exhausted. Amomz these were Melvln

Inu way member of the choir who
had been nble to attend--about ISO of
them jrt ready to irlvo the director
a loynl pendoff. If tho church didn't
like tho dlrectur, why, tin' choir didn't
'like tho church. That witu the Bint
of their remark nnd the Indignant
membern held mi Indignation meeting
to cmphnalKP. them.
In th mtilMt of the palaver came
William H. Dorman, member of the
musical cnmmltteo and a church trus
tee. Ho didn't want tho '.'lurch to lose
ono of tlio best cltolrn in- tno irrcaier
city it any amount of ex; 'ulnlmr could
prevent It, und he explained for about
un hour, but even now he ducim't know
just wlint t lie choir win o.
Tho trouble aturtcd ovet what the
choir thuUKht wuh mi unfair dlamlvsal
of the director who hnd been tholr
friend and teacher for six years. When
tho director announced on Friday that
ho was to lonvo by request after the
Hunday evening Horvlcea the. choir con
cluded that ho had been forced out
with tinreemly ImHte nnd it was this
Impression that Mr, Dorman trlwl to
correct on Sunday. He told tho choir
thnt Mr. Morgan had been consulted In
regurd to the severing of his connec
tion with the church and that It waa
at Ills own sitKUestlou that he waa leav
Iiir Immediately Instead ot serving out
the full church musical year, which
will end on May 1.
"Ah a matter of fact it was it Mr.
Morgan's own suireestton thut hi a con

abruptly." Mr. Dormnn said yesterday,
"He undeiHtnndH the situation thor
oughly, has understood It for averal
monthn nnd thinks it would be better
for him to ro at once, especially ua ho
hits found It hard recently to attend to
his outside Interests, moat nt which cen
tre In Philadelphia. Ho In Interested
In 'The Htorin,' which Is being staged
there, ami In severnl organ recitals."
Mr. Dorman lays that the church
feels that It must economise nnd for

Pot-mim doesn't know. The choir re-
