The Cop at Dead Man's Curvo.
The big pohieman stationed on
"Dead Man's Curve" was proving
very second that his lot was anything
bat a happy one. Within five minutes
he made four rescues. First, he went
to the assistance of a man who tried to
dispute the right of way with a car;
then he grabbed a woman who essayed
to dodge a cab and was about to
fall under the wheels, b.ht who, when
he sprang forward, fell on him instead.
Next, he pushed back a fussy old man
who ran before a bicycle, and gathered
under his wing a little girl who
was barling puny defiance in the face
f an automobile.
Finally he went back to the curbstone
to act as convoy to a flock of

Robert Morris Kemp preached a sermon
on marriage and the mission of
women lhat greatly interested the 1200
women present. Dr. Kemp said, in
part:
"Patriotic societies such as yours
have. I take it. no more reason for establishing
an aristorcacy of birth in
this land than they have in condoning
that far more reprehensible aristocracy
of wealth which seems often emphasized
in the marriage of our fair young
womanhood to the title of impecunious
? often miscalled ? noblemen. Is this
not disloyal to the blood our founders
shed? The American woman stands
as nowhere else on the very pinnacle of
influence. Let the patriotic women of

President's Most Important Speech
Since He Left St. Louis.
WE INDEFINITELY DESIRE PEACE
But to Maintain It* Supremacy America
Unit B? Constantly Prepared For Wax
?Hli Theme Was Trade Derelopment
and the Protection of Our NewlyAcqalred
Possession*.
San Francisco, Cal.?President Roosevelt
made the most Important speech
he has delivered since he left St. Louis
at the Mechanics' Pavilion here. His
subject, "Expansion and Trade Development
and Protection of the Country's
Newly Acquired Possessions in the Pacific,"
together with the advocacy of a
greater Navy, made his speech of particular
interest to Califorhians. and he
aroused his auditors to a high pitch
of enthusiasm. The President saidl^"
"Before I saw the Pacific slope I
was an expansionist, and after having
seen it I fall to understand how any
man confident of his country's greatness
and glad that his country should
challenge with proud confidence our
mighty future can be anything but an
expansionist. In the century that is
opening the commerce and the progress
of the Pacific will be factors of Incalculable
moment in the history of the
world. Now, in our day, the greatest
of all the oceans, of all the seas and
the last to be used on a large scale by
civilized man bids fair to become in its
turn the first in point of importance.
Our mighty Republic has stretched
across the Pacific, and now in California,
Oregon and Washington, in Alaska
and Hawaii and the Philippines, holds
an extent of coast line which makes it
of necessity a power of the first class
on the Pacific. The extension In the
area of our domain has been Immense;
the extension in the area of our influence
even greater.
"America's geographical position on
the Pacific is such as to insure our
peaceful domination of its waters in
the future, if only we grasp with sufficient
resolution the advantages of this
position.
"We have taken the first steps toward
digging an isthmian canal, to b?

will make our Atlantic and Pacific
const lines, to all intent and purposes,
continuous, and will add Immensely
alike to our commercial and our military
and naval strength. The inevitable
march of events gave us the control
of the Philippines at a time so opportune
that it may without irreverence
be h'eld providential. Unless we show
ourselves weak, unless we show ourselves
degenerate sons of the sires
from whose loins we sprang, we must
go on with the work that we have begun.
"I earnestly hope that this work will
always be peaceful in character. We
infinitely desire peace, and the surest
way to obtain it is to show that we
are not afraid of war. We should deal
in a spirit of fairness and justice with
all weaker nations: we should show to
the strongest that we are able to maintain
our rights. Such showing cannot
be made by bluster, for bluster merely
invites contempt. Let us speak courteously.
deal fairly and keep ourselves
armed and ready. If we do these
things we can count on the peace that
comes only to tlis just man armed, to
the just man who neither fears nor inflicts
wrong.
"We must keep on building and
maintaining a thoroughly efficient
navy, with plenty of the best and most
formidable ships, with an ample supply
of officers and of men. and with
these officers and men trained in the
most thorough way to the best possible
performance of their duty. Only thus
can we assure our position in the world
at large and in narticular our position
here on the Pacific.
"All our people should take this position,
but especially you of (California,
for much of our expansion must pro
through the Golden Gate, and the
States of the Pacific slope must inevitably
bo those which would be most
benefited by and take the lead in the
growth of American influence along
the coasts and islands of that mighty
ocean where East and West finally become
one."
In the afternoon the President broke
ground at the Baker street entrance to
Golden Gate Park for a monument to
be erected to the memory of President
Mckinley by the citizens of San Francisco.

says it is either yellow fever or such
a malignant type of malarial fever as
to be as bad as yellow fever.
The condition can ha improved, but
it would require control by the Government

of which D. E. Skinner :s President,
was convicted of maintaining a monopoly
contrary to the Sherman antitrust
law.
When the case was opened counsel \
for the corporation withdrew its orJg- ]
inal plea of not guilty and pleaded
guilty to the first count of the indictment.
The maximum fine Is $5000. (
This case marks the first conviction 1
under the Sherman law. which went ?
Into effect lu 1892. The Attorney-Gen- j
eral's office won a civil suit last fall
before Justice Morrow against the
same company on the same evidence. 1
The successful termination of that suit j
abolished the contracts the Federal i
Salt Company had.
. The Federal Salt Company was or- '
ganized in New Jersey In 1900. It es- .
tablished a business in California and ,
quickly secured a monopoly of the
product on the coast, raising the price
from $2 and $6 a ton to $30 and $35.
GIRL'S SUITORS MURDERED. \
Second One Killed In Two Wepk? While
Driving Home In HIi Baggy.
Indianapolis, Ind. ? Louis Yeager. a
younc man livine near Fairfield. How- ]
ard County, visited Miss Emma Fin- ]
ley, and when his father got up in the
morning he found the son d?ad in his <
buggy at the front, gate. An investlga- ,
tion showed that the young man had <
been shot in the side and also in the j
right temple, and his position in the 1
buggy indicated that he had been ,
killed killed while driving along the ,
highway. Miss Finley says that he i
left her house about 10 o'clock and
started In the direction of home.
Francis Sutton, a young man who j
was also a suitor for the hand of Miss i
Finley, was found dead In his bugsy
two weeks ago with a bullet in his \
brain, having been shot the night before
while driving alone: the road. It
was supposed that he had committed
suicide, though there was nothing to ]
show that he had shot himself, but the ]
murder of Yeager under precisely simi
lar circumstances leads to the belief ,
that both young men were assassin- j
ated because of their attentions to Miss
Finley. There is no clue to the. inur- j
derer.
THE KISHINEFF MASSACRE.
Additional Details of tbe Antl-Jewl
Outbreak la Bonala.
St. Petersburg. Russia. ? Additional ,
details of the Klshineff massacre of
Jews are printed here daily. The correspondents
give the number of victims
thus far buried in the Jewish cemetery
at forty-four, and say that eighty-four
p?rson.3 seriously wounded are still in ,
the Jewish hospital.
The horrors reported scarcely bear
repetition. In one instance spikes were
driven through a woman's head into
the floor, and reports of cases of bodily
mutilation have been authenticated.
About S00 to 1000 persons were nr*
restad. an energetic official having beon
sent from Odessa to deal with the situation.
The apathy of the local authorities
during the two days of outrage and
murder appears to have been fully established.

New York City.?Monday was one of <
the most sesational markets ever v;
known on the New York Cotton Ex- !

dav, and all day an excited crowd of
brokers struggled around the pit railing -V
jndeavoring to snatch up the offerf of
ong cotton, which the bull clique wat
Landing out freely, because on each .
bale sold at the high prices they real- 3j
Ized a heavy profit. The aggregate
gain of the Sully clique was estimated ^
is being way up in the millions. How* ^
much it was no one could say, exceptng,
perhaps, Mr. Sully himself, and if ;
be knew he declined to tell.
The opening of the market was ac?ompanied
by scenes of the wildest ex- gjj
?itemeut. The Liverpool cables, which : |
tlraost always have an Influence on the
market here, showed an advance since M
Saturday of eleven ppints, whereas no
3ne had expected to see an advance of
more than seven points. Buying to - ^
Liverpool by shorts on this side of the
Atlantic is supposad to have been large- , ,<:
ly responsible for this rise. ^
Whatever the cause, the result w&jm
that the market here opened up twen*1 ?
ty-flve points and more, while In New 1
Orleans, where there is also a corner ]
in May cotton, the opening was from- V?
thirty to forty points above Saturday's ;]
closing. It is estimated that upto noon
100,000 bales were traded in. xne next,' am
two hours were rather quiet.
It was stated that nothing- like
prices quoted have been known In the,
cotton market for many years. In Jmw','
uary, 1901, a squeeze of shorts carried
the price to twelve cents a pound, and ?|
in 1890, also in-January, cotton sold at 1

New Orleans, La.?The cotton market 1

prices down to a more conservative

vance was maintained. The cause of
