New York, July 9.—"Screens downwas the mandate to New Jersey saloon keepers under the excise laws that went into effect yesterday. The screens were down. In consequence It was the driest Sunday in years. The saloon keepers surrendered completely In the face of the requirements of the "Bishops' law." In Jersey City, where there are 1,100 saloons, there was only one arrest for selling liquor. In Hobokeu there was none at all. and the story from Newark was much the same. Only in Atlantic City was the law evaded by hotel keepers and others.' Washington, July 9.—Former United States Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, who was chairman of the Democratic national committee when William J. Bryan made his campaign for the presidency In INiMJ and liKK), has received a letter from Mr. Bryan in which he announces that lie will accept the nomination for president for the third time if it is tendered to him. The letter Is dated Juno 18, at Stockholm, and is as follows: Atlantic City. N. J., July 9.—Flrd In Young's Pier theater last night at 9 o'clock ended in a panic Irt which a hundred or more persons, chiefly Phlladelphlans and New Yorkers, were cut and bruised, but none very seriously. A number of women were carried out on the roof of the theater unconscious from fright. St. Petersburg, July 0.—The first paragraph of the proposed agrarian law— viz, the augmentation of the lands of the peasants by the expropriation ot' all state and crown domains and church and monastery lands—has been accepted by the commission of the lower house with practical unanimity. The commissioners have now locked their horus over the mode of expropriation and the method of disposal of private estates, and the end is not yet In sight. The determination to expropriate church lands, which, in contradistinction to' the great estates owned by the monasteries, lie scattered like the lands of primary schools In America, In small tracts throughout the country, and support the local clergy, will cause complications. Such action would deprive the parfsh priests of the principal part of their scanty emoluments and necessitate an equivalent from some other source. To the lay observer Thaw bears no traces of insanity. Ills eyes are clear and steady, his carriage firm and erect, ami he seems to be borne up by a cheerfulness that Is shared by few of his ffllow prisoners in the Tombs, however trilling the charges upon which they are deprived of their liberty."Frank X. .Dodge, a well known and much respected farmer living at West Franklin, suicided on Sunday morning by hanging. He was about fin ycys of age, aiuKs survived by his wife and one- f'on, living In Duzerne county. Mr. Dodge had been In ill health for several months, but he had made no statements, nor had his nctjons given any indication of a determination to end his life. The endeavor of certain Insurance companies to quit the State, forcing their policy holders to sue in courts where the home office is located, is effectively blocked by a state law, which provides that any foreign company or corporation must file In the office of the Insurance commissioner the name and address of the agent of the company, in order that the summons and other process may be served on him in all actions ?Dr other proceedings against the company or corporation. The theater stands over the ocean and a moving picture entertainment was In progress when an explosion occurred In the gallery inside of the booth, where the man operating the machine was locked In. The flame, whicK rose to the ceiling, Illuminated with a red glare the entire interior. A line of evidence which, if corroborated, will go far to destroy any hopes Thaw may bo basing on tine "unwritten law" as a defense for killing Stanford White came Into possession of the district attorney's office. "lib arose about 4 o'clock. Shortly afterward .his wife missed him and went rfUl, only to find his lifeless body hanging in the barn. He had stood upon the stairs in the barn, and fastening a rope about his neck had stepped off to the floor. When found his feet were resting upon the tloor." "I have been watching .political developments and have noted with gratification the vindication of Democratic principles. You iiuve correctly, stated my position. As *1 wrote lji» Colonel Wetuiore, I shall do nothing to secure another nomination and do Tiot want one unless .the conditions seem to demand it." I may add that I enjoy the freedom of private- life and feel that 1 can do some good without holding any office. This evidence, which was received by Assistant District Attorney Garvan through Edim Mod lire, an actress, now performing in "The Social Whirl" at the Casino, and through her mother would seem to indicate that Thaw's killing of White was the result of a planned and determined vengeance covering a period of nearly two years. MEAT PACKERS STILL DEFYING THE LAWS All tills came us u bit; surprise. Tl»e lamblike obedience of tlie saloon keepers was not expected either by the police or.the public. On Friday the liquor dealers of Jersey City mot and passed a resolution to light. They determined not to lower their screens, but the resistance apparently collapsed, for in all Jersey City there were only thirty-six salosu keepers who at 8 u. m. yesterday had not Cleared the view of their bars through the windows. By 9, Chief Murphy said, summonses laid been served on the thirty-six to appear in court this morning, and patrolmen had removed the obstructions. Cries of fire started to their feet fifteen hundred people, who in an instant made u wild dash for the doors. Windows were smashed in and children were handed through them to persons on the outside. The exits were not manned and men hurled themselves against the doors and broke them open where they refused to yield to the door handles. In Wild Scramble. KILLED AT CROSSING. Indications Hint Tlior*' .May Be An- other flash Between Uie flickers ami the Administration Chicago, July 9.—Another clash Is imminent between President Roosevelt and the Chicago packers. This came to light today when Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture, having established himself at the Auditorium hotel with the staff of experts whom he has brought here, to revise the meat Inspection bureau, gave out an interview in which he expressed in measured terms his "disappointment" at the grudging spirit fn which, he said, the Chicago packers are meeting the demand for reform. He wefit further and questioned the sincerity of their declaration that they wanted government inspection. He said dryly thai; It looked to to' him as if they wanted "another tight" and then he let it be known that the government was ready to give them one rather than accept any halfway measures in the amelioration of conditions surrounding the meat industry. Indirectly the report of the Manufacturers' association Is responsible for the situation. Frank Bistider Meets Fatal The name of a woman who spent several months of 1SM13 in Europe in the company of Evelyn Nesblt and Harry Thaw was given to Mr. Garvan.

The present agrarian disorders, which can lie expected steadily to grow worse, are due largely to the necessity of the peasants seizing fqod and forage to preserve their lives and save from starvation the remainder of tljeir cattle.

As I hey approached the crossing, Bonser claims he told Blstider to keep a sharp lookout for the Diamond, which was then due. The *rlew down the track was obstructed by a line of cars at No. 14 siding. Blstider approached the crossing carefully, but could not get a view of the track until the wagon was on It. Just as the wagon was moving onto the ttack, with Blstider bending forward on the lookout for a train, Bonser saw above the line of standing cars a column or smoke moving forward at high speed. He gave a cry of warning and threw himself from the wagon, landing between the switch tracks. Blstider could scarcely have seen his danger when the engine crashed into the out" tit. The driver was knocked many feet away. One horse was tossed high into the air and the other carried along some distance on the pilot. The wagon was demolished.

The lirst provision works well, because a policeman who neglects to enforce- it puts himself at the mercy of any one who cares to prefer charges against him.
