RELIGIOUS LIBERTY GRANTED Czar Decrees that Subjects May Wor ship as They Please. St. Petersburg, May 1.The grant ing of real religious freedom to the people of Russia by the czar yesterday as an Easter gift was an event of highest significance, in comparison with which the remission of millions of dol lars of taxes to the peasantry, a long list of decorations and six pages oi Eromotions uav of bureaucratic officials are ardly worth comment. Liberty of conscience has been re peatedly nroclaimed, and Procurator Pobiedonostzeff in his famous reply to the evangelical petition in 1888 con tended that it existed in the empire. The fact is that as a trysting place all religions have been tolerated in Russia, but none has been allowed to trespass upon the orthodox faith as enunciated from the mosque that faces the church on the Nevsky prospect in St. Peters burg. Sects Persecuted. Ppople were free to remain in the faith of their fathers, but were prohib ited from making proselvtes. Perse cutions of every kind were directed against the descendant sects, especially the old believers. Against the dis sidents are enumerated a thousand and one peculiar heresies. The Stundists and Molkans of south ern Russia.^ now the principal native nonconformists, who might be described as the Quakers of Eussia, have made tremendous progress recent years in 3pite of persecution which often has driven them eastward and made them pioneers of Russian colonization There are in all about twelve thousand of these dissidents. Jews, Catholics and Lutherans. The emperor's act will also affect about forty million belonging to the alien faiths, such as the Jews, Catholics and Lutherans of Poland and the Baltic provinces, the Protestants of Finland ancl the followers of Islam and Buddha in the Urals, the Crimea, the Caucasus, Turkestan and central Asia. These figures are only approximate, as proba bly millions who are normally orthodox secretly profess other religions. Whole villages of Mussulmans baptized into the orthodox communion by a ruse pe titioned in vain to be permitted to re turn to Mohammedaoism. While the emperor's approval of the action of the cmmittee of ministers distinctly holdsto orthodoxy as the state religion and creates the usual commis sion to work out many details in con nection with the offspring of mixed marriages during minority, legitimati zation of marriages, registration of deaths and births, it also rescinds a number of acts aimed specifically at various religions and establishes the princirjle of absolute freedom of worship and the right of every Russian who be comes of age to change his confession of faith, in which the assurance of re ligious freedom lies. Belief for Catholics. It also contemplates relief of Catho lics and Poles from the present vexa tious restrictions as to preaching the catechism, the Bussian language, etc. The emperor has accepted the axiom of the Metropolitan Antonius, "You can not hold strange children against their will,"andrecognizes in religious variety good for the nation as well as for the si j& church itself, a principle which, if ac I'iisijt knowledged politicallv. would mean a U&Vft r\.AAAJiA A&AAAAAA .AAA M-AA'AV? 1 GEORGE B.

Washington, May 1.It is reported here that Postmaster General Cortelyou has been agreed upon for president of the Equitable Life Assurance society of New York as a compromise between President Alexander of that society and First Vice President Hyde. This arrangement is said to have been brought about by United States Senator Bjaox and Henry C. Prick, chairman of the executive committee of the society. Mr. Cortelyou declines to discuss the matter. Denials in New York. New York, May 1.An official of the Equitable Life Assurance society said today: Mr. Alexander is president of the Equitable.

HE STANDS TIP WELL UNDER HALL'S FIRE The Defense Has Not Yet Decided to Let Kalderwit Testify. From a Staff Correspondent. Anoka, Minn., May 1.Anoka is sore at Minneapolis crooks, who bring no toriety and evil repute on the fair name of the town and county by coming over the line and committing divers and sundry crimes. The Kalderwit trial now on is costing the county $100 a day, and the end is not even in sight, for his two associates, Kolb and Ham mon, are yet to come. The crime was committed but a few feet inside the Anoka county boundary, and the boy who was killed and nearly every wit ness in the case belonged in Hennepin county Ellis Usher, a citizen of Anoka county They then broke into a toolshed at Andover and took a private handcar special back, to Minneapolis, with $14 and a gold watch "to the good."

The result of the testimony has been Hammon's it's all the same thing." this: It convinced the committee that rates are not so generally exorbitant as has been reported. They are held down by water competition, by compe tition between roads and other condi tions. This will be good news to the coun try. It shows how effective have been the arguments of railroad agents. Members of the committee are also of the opinion that it would be unwise to recommend the passage of the Esch Townsend bill, which was rushed thru the house during the last session of congress. That bill, this committee has been shown, simply authorizes the in teistate commerce commission to fix rates. It doesn't prevent rebates or unjust discrimination. The committee has no doubt as to the power of congress under the con stitution to authorize the interstate commerce commission, or any tribunal, to fix rates. The attornev general is its adviser in this respect. Its oppo sition to any measure which will em power the commission or any other bodv to fix rates is in line with what the president said in his last annual message, in which he brought the rail load rate question to a head. While the change noted is taking place in the sentiment of the commit tee, Senator Elkins and his railroad friends are rubbing their hands in glee ful expectation that nothing will be done which will diminish the control of railroads over their own properties, however serious may be the effect upon the interest of the common people.

Mr. Hall, for the state, resumed his cross-examination of John Kolb, the first witness of the defense. By careful and skillful questioning the state's at torney secured some important state ments. The alibi was limited to three men who are charged with the murder Kalderwit, Hammon and Kolband Mabel Ward and Alger Waller. Kolb stated repeatedly that these five were all who were in room 18 at the Grand Central hotel on the night of the mur der. The witness also admitted that beer parties were given almost nightly in the Ward-Hammon apartments. He said there was one on the night of the murder as well as the night before and the two nights following. Kolb refused to admit any alliance with any of the women in the case, but admitted being a steady attendant at the beer parties. Showing Kolb's Character. Kolb was on the stand all the morn ing. He followed his original line of testimony, but was led into making ad missions of actions not included in his direct account of the days preceding and following the murder as well as the day of the murder. One purpose of Mr. Hall's apparent hit or miss method was to bring out he natural side of the witness. Kolb lost some-M ftis dignity and became at times quite "cockey" and even flippant with the attorney. After a little preliminary work in re gard to roofing paints, he Was asked to tell what he knew of the murder. He remembered reading that the job was done bv three men and a woman who waited outside with a -white horse. He did not remember much of the descrip tions of the men.

This is the problem at present before the federal authorities in Minnesota, the answer to whioh they dread even to contemplate. J. M. Dickey, first as sistant United Suites attorney, said today: i It Means |Sxtennination. There could not have been a means devised of exterminating the Indians more speedy than to4et them have free access to liquor.

Then he put the bottle on a high shelf in his cupboard. Returning to his operating-room, Dr. Gebhardt, the girl said, picked up the box and wrapper and examined them carefully, as tho curious as to whence they had come. He looked closely at the postmark and then turned to Miss Schapekahm and asked her if she could make out anything from it. Together they examined the postmark and the witness said they could discern but two letters, "S. T."

Mankato, Minn., May 1.Testimony adduced today the trial of Dr. George R. Koch tended to prove that Dr. Gebhardt, the murdered man, was haunted by a fear, inspired by the re ceipt of a poison package, that some one sought his life. Miss Lydia Schapekahm, who was Dr. Gebhardt's office girl, told the story of the receipt of the package thru the mail and of the manner in which the murdered dentist considered it at that time. The day is being devoted by the state to an effort to prove that a previous attempt had been made on the life of Dr. Gebhardt and that Dr. Koch was responsible for it. "Blue Box" Thru the Mails. Miss Schapekahm said that when Bhe went to the postoffice at noon about a week before the_ homicide she was uncertain just which day, she received with several letters a blue box. This box she gave to her employer immediately upon her return to the of fice. He opened it, she said, and after looking the bottle over carefully and scrutinizing the label on which was written in blood-red ink the single word "Sample," he removed the cork, tested the odor, and then went straight into his laboratory and poured the The blue bottle which came in the box, the witness said, remained on the shelf where she saw it from time to time every day until after the murder.

Was Albert Johnson mentally sound, when he willed his million-dollar estate to Edna Dickerson, his cousin? Was undue influence employed to induce him to make her his sole lega tee? These questions represent the issue in a legal battle royal, the first round of which will open this week. A bill of objections prepared by attorneys for Dr. Asa Johnsonr brother of the deceased, indicates this line of attack on the legality of the will. When the case came, up in the pro bate court today notice of the contest was filed by Cohen, Atwater & Shaw, the plaintiff's attorneys, and the hear ing was set for Thursday. Associated with Dr. Johnson are several other relatives, who were not remembered in the will. NAN PATTERSON'S FATE TOLD SOON Showgirl, Occident of Acquittal, wSay*r She Will Oo Home' Tuesday, New York, May 1.Nan Patterson probably will know her fate Tvithin forty-eight hours. Today there re mained only the closing scenes in the trial to be enacted. That there would be no defense had been announced by the court reconvened today. Her coun sel Were satisfied that the state had failed to prove that the former show girl murdered Caesar Young, they said, and were content to stand or fall on what evidence had been submitted. The defendant agreed fully with her attor neys and expressed the firmest faith that her troubles were rapidly nearing an end. I feel that I have spent my last Sunday in the Tombs," she said to day, while making ready to go to court. "Tomorrow I will go nome." To her future, if the jury sets her free, the girl has given little thought. There is only one plan she has made, and that is to hurry to Washington on the first train with her father. When asked if she would return to the stage, she replied that she had offers at big salaries. It has even been suggested that Nan Patterson, her sister Julia and the latter's husband, J. M. Smith, could go a good "turn on the stage. Nan Patterson has so little money that she could not live in idleness long. Her parents have spent what they have saved on her. In case there should be another dis agreement, it is the general belief that Mr. Jerome will never put the woman on trial again. Mr. Jerome, in that event, would not object to an applica tion for bail. PRICE ON ARREST OF CASHIER GOLL Missing Milwaukee Man Sought Bigelow Under GuardSon Helped Father. Milwaukee, Wis., May 1.A reward of $1,000 has been offered for the ar rest of Henry G. Goll, former assistant cashier of the First National bank. Goll disappeared the day the defalca tion of Frank G. Bigelow became known and has succeeded in eluding arrest. Mr. Bigelow is under the constant surveillance of a detectivej his son's house, where he is stopping, being watched night and day, and when the former banker leaves the residence the officer trails behind at a convenient distance. Gossip to the effect that the default ing bank president's son, Gordon, was partly responsible for his father's downfall, is denied by some of the banker's friends. It is reported that Mr. Bigelow was aided in his transac tions by money which Gordon Bigelow won in speculation in the wheat mar ket.

Chicago, May 1.Wholesale importa tion of non-union men from St. Louis and the arrival-of "Strikebreaker" Farley from New York gave a new turn today to the teamsters' strike here. Immediately on his arrival, Far ley held a conference with representa tives of the employers and plans were made putting him in charge of all strikebreakers. Farley managed the non-union men in the New York subway strike. Non-union men in forces said to be almost unprecedented are on their way to Chicago. It was reported that a special train bearing 475 men left St. Louis over the Illinois Central early today. Another train with 500 men was being prepared. Strikebreakers Arrive.

A new federal injunction, it wai stated today, would be asked for on the ground that the strike is interfer ing with interstate commerce. The ap plication, it was said, would be made on behalf of the express companies. -JS| Aid from Government. *-M The federal government is helping Chicago department stores deliver small parcels in a way that is beyond the in terference of the striking teamsters. Thousands of small packages are being delivered by mail thru the United States street railway postal cars. There has been a perceptible increaser in this business from the day the delivery wagons of the department stores were stopped. By the streetcar service a {mckage, if not too heavy, may be de iverea by mail at the door of the pur chaser. ^P^^-i**^ f 1 The Employers Take Job. Thirty-fiVe teamsters employed by anthracite and bituminous coal compa nies struck today and hauling for the company was at once turned over to the Employers' Teaming association. The express companies are doing con-rs siderable- transferring in suburban places. This move, the strikers said, will be checked by spreading the strike to the suburbs. 4 Strikebreakers on Strike. One hundred strikebreakers employed by the American, the Pacific, Northern Pacific andVthe National Express com panies, struck today to enforce a de mand of $5 a day for drivers and $4 a day for conductors and helpers, an al lowance of 50 cents for luncheon, and extra pay for overtime. The increase was granted and the men returned to work. Tumultuous Scenes. There were tumultuous scenes near the headquarters of the Employers' Teaming company, the organization formed to supplant the striking team sters. .John Williams, a colored non-union ist driver, was sitting on one of the wagons of the Employers' company waiting for caravans to be formed. A crowd of several hundred gathered, jeering Williams and other non-union ists. Suddenly a bottle thrown from an upper story of a near-by building struck Williams on the head. The negro instantly drew a revolver and fired toward the window. The action of the negro angered the crowd and a concentrated rush was made to ward him. Williams jumped from his wagon and fled down the street. The mob soon caught him and he was being savagely beaten when the police rescued Mm. Williams was arrested. Eiot on a Bridge. i A riot broke out on the Adams street bridge today when a negro teamster fired at strike sympathizers. The -po- lice kept the situation in hand by a series of rushes. Twelve men were ar rested. While five coal wagons from the Daniel Coal company were being aa loaded in the rear of the Union League club, whip-stocks, pieces of coal and bottles were thrown at the non-union teamsterB from a near-by window. One of the detectives guarding the wagon drew a revolver and fired several shots into the air. A large crowd gathered but was quickly dispersed by the po lice. The strike presents a particularly serious outlook for produce dealers.
