While the State Department officials
hesitate to regard the overthrow of the

they admit that it is possible and that
it may be the end qf the troubles, if

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL), MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1905.
EUROPE BELIEVES REVOLUTIONARY
MOVEMENT HAS BUT BEGUN.
GOVERNMENT NOW REALIZES
TEMPER OF. THE POPULACE
LONDON, Jan. 23.—Such phrases as
these, extracted from editorial articles
in the London morning newspapers, in
dicate the opinion held here of yester
days' events at St. Petersburg:
"Revolt has been quelled, but revolu
tion begun." /
"The bureaucracy has declared its
policy; it is the policy of Blagovest
chenk—'massacre.''
"The inevitable reaction has begun,
and with it a new chapter in Russia's
history and probably also in the his
tory of Europe and Asia."
"The revolutionary movement In
Russia has received its baptism of
blood, its crown of martyrdom."
"Is there a Mirabeau or even a Dan
ton in Russia to-day?"
"A very grave responsibility lies to
day at the door of the Czar, who failed
to grasp his unique opportunity."
"The 'Little Father' has become the
murderer of his people, and it remains
with him to save the country from dis
aster. Even at the eleventh hour he
may do so, but only by recognizing
that autocracy has gone forever."
It is pointed out that the fate of Rus
sia does not depend upon the people of
St. Petersburg alone, but on the masses
throughout the country, and it is con
sidered that the events recent
months connected with the agitation
for constitutional reform sufficiently
attest the people's temper.
Some of the special dispatches from
St. Petersburg this morning comment
upon the unexpectedly determined at
titude displayed by the Russian work
men yesterday as revealing a new
phase in the character of the patient
masses.
Many special correspondents give ex
travagant reports. For instance, the
correspondent of the Dally Mail says
that 20,000 people from Kolpino were
met at the Moscow arch, on the con
fines of St. Petersburg, with six vol
leys and that 1000 fell dead and 1500
wounded. Other correspondents state
that the workmen have proclaimed
their intention to attack private prop
erty and that Minister of the Interior
Sviatopolk-Mirsky has consented to
receive a deputation of workmen to
day. While many estimate the casual
ties at anywhere near 2000 killed and
wounded, there is everywhere conclu
sive evidence of the Impossibility of
yet estimating with any degree of ex
actitude.
APPREHENSION IN FRANCE.
Feared That French Scenes Will Be
Re-enacted in Russia.
PARIS, Jan. 22.—The news of the
bloody events In St. Petersburg has
caused a profound sensation here. The
newspapers issued special editions
throughout the evening, giving the
dramat'c details of the street fighting,
and these were eagerly read and dis
cussed in the boulevards, at the the
aters and in other public places the
tragedy being the one subject of com
ment. The newspaper offices were sur
rounded by crowds awaiting bulletins.
Officials here have received advices
practically the same as those made
public.
The general view, including that of
officials, is one of the deepest appre
hension that the events of to-day may
precipitate in Russia a period of revo
lution such as France has witnessed.
FLEET MAY MAKE DASH.
TOKIO, Jan. 28.—Vie« Admiral
Kamimura left to-day to rejoin his
fleet. It was recently announced that
the Russian Vladivostok squadron was
believed to have been repaired and
might come out at any moment.
The Navy Department is strenuous
ly preparing for the second stage of
the war. During the year past the
Japanese have captured twenty-three
blockade runners, of which thirteen
were Russian and seven British. The
recent captures of coal amounts to
twenty-five thousand tons.
RUSSIA HILLIS' THEME.
Says Empire Has Neglected the Lesson
of Freedom.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—"Russia has
neglected the lesson of freedom so elo
quently taught by history," declared
Rev. Newel Dwight Hillis of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, in a sermon before
his old congregation of Central Church,
preached in the Auditorium to-nisht.
"A new statement of our lesson is to
be found," he said, "in connection with
that great empire of Europe, which
now is disturbed with the preliminary
tremblings of a social earthquake.
Three hundred yearsago the conditions
which prevail in Russia to-day could
be found in England.
"Later, in France, a noble, when the
poor people of Paris asked for bread,
said: 'Let them eat grass,' and the
next day they butchered him in the
streets. To-day we find in Russia a
nation where the lives of the lower
classes are filled with misery and
squalor. In the warm, rich atmosphere
of the twentieth century these condi
tions exist. One part of society, ar
rayed against the lower classes, is say
ing 'We will be blind to the teachings
of history,' and is ignoring the inevit
able consequences which follow the en
slaving of human souls and bodies. A
little handful of men own all the land,
possess all the titles, hold all the priv
ileges. This is a country of which it
can be truly said: 'The lessons of his
tory have been in vain.' But. perhaps,
even now that lesson Is upon us."
SENATE TO HEAR CHARGES
AGAINST JUDGE SWAYNE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—The
United States Senate this week will
transform Itself into a court of jus
tice to hear the impeachment charges
against Judge Charles Swayne of Flor

having been given, It is expected that
notice of the Senate's readiness to
hear the charges will be conveyed to
the House immediately after it con

The managers of the Joint statehood
bill are very hopeful of securing an
agreement to vote on that measure
before the close of the week.
Unless legislation for Government
rate-making affecting the railroads
shall be Injected into the House next
week, the principal work will be de
voted to the annual appropriation
bills.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—"This com
mission will beyond any doubt report
to the Attorney General next week that
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
road has been guilty of what appears
to be a willful violation of the Elkins
law. This report will be accompanied
by a draft of the evidence taken by the
commission and in view of this action,
I do not see how the Department of
Justice can refrain from instituting
prosecutions against the railroad."
This statement was made to-day by a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The prosecution of the
Santa Fe Railroad by the Government
will be most embarrassing to Secretary
of the Navy Morton, who was executive
officer of that corporation during the
tfcne when the alleged rebates were
given.
"The commission has ended its in
vestigation of this matter," said the
commissioner, "and is now engaged in
preparing a statement for the Attorney
General. This will be ready for trans
mittal next week. Our last hearing
was on December 29, but President
Ripley of the Santa Fe asked for a
subsequent hearing, and the case was
held open until January 16. A few
days before that date he canceled his
request. •
"The fact that a member of the Cabi
net may become involved makes no
difference to the commission. While
I have not talked with the President,
I feel sure that he would not care to
interfere one way or the other. The
punishment cannot be less than a fine
of $1000 nor more than $20,000 for each
offense. If each shipment in which a
rebate was allowed constitutes a sep
arate offense, tad total fine to which
the Santa Fe is Tfable will run up into
hundreds of thousands of dollars.''
Attorney General Moojiy may differ
from the members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission regarding the
findings after a review of the testi
mony.
DRUNKEN BRAWL
ENDS IN DEATH
Giuseppe Brgardo Is Shot
Down on Powell Street by
Mob of Enraged Pursuers
A drunken brawl in the barber shop
of Pietro Rats, Francisco and Mason
streets, shortly after midnight this
morning, ended only after Giuseppe
Brogardo, an Italian fisherman, was
shot to death by the bullets from sev
eral of the men who were mixed up in
the free fight. Wentz Brossini, Antoni
and the proprietor of the shop

started at rrtidnight and the party re
paired to the street to fight it out. Sev
eral attacked Brogardo, according to

drew a revolver to protect himself,
firing two shots.
At the same time several others of
the party also drew weapons and
opened fire on the fisherman. He fled
down Powell street, but at the corner
uf Vandewater street fell. His pur
suers kept on, firing as they ran, and
the wounded man picked himself up
and ran along Vandewater street to
Mason, turning into the latter street.
By this time his pursuers were close
upon him and he had gone but a few
yards when he fell dead, pierced In the
back by two more bullets. His pur
suers immediately fled. Policeman
B'ennell, attracted by the shooting,
hastened to tbe scene and soon after
arrested Brossini. The* latter threw
away a revolver containing Aye empty
chambers.
The proprietor of the shop and La
poli were caught soon after by Fennell.
They say they know nothing about the
shooting, but the police think they are
aware of who fired the fatal shots, and
will be held till the mystery has been
solved.
The dead man was known as "Joe the
Fisherman," and was a prominent fig
ure for yearn along the water front.
Lapoli is a wrestler of some note and

John Hock Believed by the
Police to Have Murdered
Ten Women and to Have
Been Married Many Times
N£W BEING SOUGHT
BY THE OFFICERS
Authorities Also Hold the
Opinion That He Was Jan
itor of "Holmes Castle"
of Tragic Recollection
Special Dispatch to Tha Call.
CHICAGO. Jan. 22.—That John Hock,
accused by Mrs. Emelle Fischer Hock
of poisoning her sister two days before
marrying herself, was Janitor of the
old "Holmes Castle," in which so many
women were murdered, and that he has
profited so well by the training of his
employer, H. H. Holmes, who was
hanged in Philadelphia, that he has
already murdered ten women, is the
belief of the police after to-day's de
velopments.
The last link in the chain of evi
dence, that is being welded, is a state
ment from Mrs. Anna Hendrickson of
Englewood, that she believes she was
married to Hock a year ago. Mrs.
Hendrickson told the police to-day that
a man answering Hock's description
married her in Hammond, md., and
live weeks later deserted her, taking
with him JSOO, belonging to her.
The story- told by Mrs. Hendrickson
seemed so important to the police that
to-day two detectives accompanied her
to the cottage where Mrs. Marie
Walcker Hock died. Here a shoe of
peculiar formation, worn by Hock ow
ing, it is said, to large bunion on his
foot, was found. "The man who mar
ried me under the name of Hendrick
son used to wear just such a shoe,"
said Mrs. Hendrickson.
The police refuse to reveal the wom
an's address, but she Is being kept in
hiding until her story is thoroughly in
vestigated.
Captain Madden of the Englewood
station has detailed Lieutenant Storen
on the case, and it is believed that
Hock will be captured in a few hours,
as the police are fairly sure of his
hiding place.
Late to-day another woman ap
peared and told the police of having
been married to Hock. She Mrs.
Schmidt, who oiaims to have been mar
ried in 1&04, and deserted by her hus
band three weeks later. Lieutenant
JStoren said to-night that he believed
to, be the former associate of the
notorious Holmes.
"I believe it possible that this man
Hock was the janitor of 'Holmes
Castle.' " said Lieutenant Storen. "He
answers the description of the janitor
who disappeared after testifying In be
half of Holmes. Another thing that
makes me believe as I do is that Hock
Mas seen to-day In a barber shop at
703 Sixty-third street. This is the old
•Holmes Castle' in which so many
women were said to have been mur
dered by Holmes." •
Police Inspector Shippy said to-day
that he is in possession of evidence,
which causes him to believe that Hock
had murdered at least ten women.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.—Revolution*
are expected to become things of tha
past in Santo Domingo, now that the
United States has arranged to take
control of the administration of the
customs service of the black republic
The plan is simply to put Santo Domin
go on a frugal allowance for its run
ning expenses and to turn the rest of
the revenues to the payment of its for
eign debt.
European powers are now expected to
present their complaints to the United
States before they attempt to chastise
American republics which prove dere
lict in their obligations. Expeditions
of warships by European powers for
the purpose of scaring these weak re
publics into immediately paying ex
tortionate indemnities for real or slight
wrongs will probably no longer ba
tolerated. Germany has twice tried
the patience of the United States by
such tactics in Santo Domingo and
Hayti. The latter's finances are not
In good shape, but they have not
reached the tangle Santo Domingo
finds itself in to-day.
The State Department to-day,
through Assistant Secretary "Coomis.
issued a memorandum concerning the
action taken In Santo Domingo. Loomis
.is really the engineer of this bit of
diplomacy. He visited Santo Domingo
over a year ago to devise some way of
curing the worst sore spot in the west
