MOTIVE BEHIND THE CRIME Police Officials Doubt Truth of Car- michael’s Confession. Carthage, 111, Jan. 13.—When police officials attracted to this place by the suicide of Rev. John H. Carmichael, self-confessed slayer of Gideon Brown- ing at Rattle Run, Mich., have fully satisfled themselves as to the circum- stances attending the last act in the Wragedy it is expected that inquiry will turn to a possible motive for the in- itial crime. It is a curious fact that dispatches from Michigan reveal an unwilling- ness on the part of officials and oth- ers to accept the theory of Car- michael’s insanity as evolved from his strange confession. One of the first to voice this skepticlsm was Prosecutor Brown of Adair, Mich, who rejected the idea that Browning had used hypnotic influence. “I shall always believe,” said Mr. Brown, “that there was a deep motive behind the crime.” Similarly Under Sheriff Petil of ‘Port Huron asserts his belief that Oarmichael’s last letter was not in- tended for a deathbed confession, but ‘was written with the idea that he would be brought back to stand trial. DESPONDENT OVER | DEATH OF WIFE Minnesotan Kills Four Children and Commits Suicice. Mankato, Minn.,, Jan. 13.—James York, a quarry worker, cut the throats of four of his children near here and then committed suicide by hanging himself by a small wire. The dead children are Barl, aged fourteen; Nina, aged twelve; Zula, aged nine, and Vera, aged six. The sole sur- vivor of the family is Ida, the eldest child, a young woman, who kept house for her father. York was despondent over the recent death of his wife and was no doubt insane. The oldest daughter, who escaped, was up stairs when the crimes were committed and heard no struggle. ‘When she found the bodies of the four children she ran to the nearest neighbor for aid and when the party returned it was found that York had hanged himself with a piece of wire in a woodshed. Five older children were away from home. Two Overcome by Coal Gas. Port Collins, Colo,, Jan. 13.—J.

TRAP SET FOR BRIBERS 8ix Democratic Legislators Secretly Chosen to Act as Spies and Secure Evidence, if Possible, to Cause the Arrest and Prosecution of Any One Oftering Inducements for Support of Senatorial Candidates. Indianapolis, Jan. 13.—Persistent rumors that money is being used in the United States senatorial campaign and that six Democratic legislators who organized themselves into a secret body of spies two weeks ago are laying plans to trap any one who may offer “inducements” for senator- ship votes caused a stir aming candi- dates and politicians. The story of the organization of the mysterious six was told by a man who is in close touch with the senatorship situation. As the story goes these men, with other legislators, heard two weeks ago that money was to be used in the senatorship campaign. Several of the legislators held a meeting and finally six men were chosen to act as sples. These men are under instructions to accept money that may be offered to them for their votes, but they are to make the conditions such that when the money is presented they will have sufficient evidence to send to the peni- tentiary the man who offers it. The “THS object of the assoclation is “the promotion of a businesslike and conservative use and treatment of the forest resources of the country.” The association was organized in 1882. There are branch associations in twenty states. Among the speakers who will ad- dress the association’s meetings are Gifford Pinchot, chief of the federal forest service; Dr. Albert Shaw, ed- itor of the Review of Reviews; Pro- fessor H. S. Graves of the Yale For- estry school and J. E. Ransdall of Louisiana, president of the national sivers and harbors congress.

MeclIntyre summed up the case for the defense in the trial of Thornton Jen- kins Hains, accused with his brother, Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., of the murder of William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club on Aug. 15. In opening he charged that there was a conspiracy of the Bayside Yacht club members to convict the defendant. The killing of Annis, de- clared Mr. McIntyre, was done by a madman—“a man whose mind was dismantled and dethroned by the con- duct of a libertine.” He denied that it was prompted by the defendant. Throughout their evidence, counsel sald, Andrews, Birchfield, Storms and other witnesses for the prosecution were influenced by motives of re- venge, BUSINESS SITUATION WORSE Statement of Prussian Minister of Finance. ! Berlin, Jan. 13.—Baron von Rhein- baben, the Prussian minister of finance, in introducing the Prussian budget into the diet, said that the business situation in' Germany had latterly grown worse.

The deficit in the budget this year would be $44,000,000, even after allowing for an increase in rev- enues of $13,750,000 through new tax- ation. The budget shows an increase in expenditures over 1908 of $116,750,- 000. Earthquake on Pacific Coast.

PUBLIC FUNDS =P Foraker’s Charge Against ! Roosevelt and Taft. Z: )z — v ’ BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR UP A § Ohio fs-nflor Makes Carefully Pre- pared Address in Reply to Presi- dent’s Last Message on the Subject and Characterizes the Use of Pri- vate Detectives as “Atrocious, Shooking and Revoiting.” ‘Washington, Jan. 13.—Illegal diver- sion of public funds by the president end Willlam H. Taft, while secretary of war, to pay for the investigation by private detectives into the Browns- ville affair was charged by Senator Foraker of Ohio in the senate in a speech in replylng to statements of Herbert J. Browne of this city and William G. Baldwin of Roanoke, Va., who were employed by the secretary of war to secure evidencé of the guilt of negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, United States army, in shooting up Brownsville on the night of Aug. 13-14, 1906. The government use of the private detectives was characterized by Mr. Foraker as “atrocious, shocking and revolting.” This charge of illegally diverting $15,000 from the war fund of $3,000,- 000 appropriated by the deficiency act of March 3, 1899, was made by Mr. Foraker in concluding his remarks, which consisted of a very careful con- sideration of certain legal phases of the Brownsville affair and the reading of a number of affidavits by soldiers whose testimony and “confessions” Mr. Browne alleged he had secured to unravel the mystery of the identity of the men who did the shooting, and these affidavits denied with great par- ticularity nearly every statement of importance by the detectives. 2 Alleges Violation of Statutes. Speaking of the employment of pri- vate detectives Mr. Foraker declares it is clearly in violation of the follow- ing statutory provision enacted in 1893: “That hereafter no employe of the Pinkerton detective agency or sim- llar agency shall be employed in any government service or by any officer of the District of Columbia.” In concluding his speech Senator Foraker said: 3 “It will appear from the president’s message and the exhibits thereto at- tached showing. the mode in which the detectiveg are operating and the testimony .in -answer thereto that fraudulent impersonation, misrepre- sentation, lying, deceit, treachery, liquor and intoxication, coupled with promises of iramunity and the excite- ment of hope-and fear and the offer of employment - and remunerative wages, have been resorted to to se- cure the testimony sought for and that .the so called ‘confessions’ are not confined to such as affect the parties. making them or to those af- fected by them who may be present when such confessions are made, but extend also to those not present when they are made, but who are absent and without .knowledge of what is transpiring and without any oppor- tunity whatever to be heard in their own defense—even to make an ob- Jection that such statements and such confessions are untruthful.” Resents Being Spied Upon. When Mr. Foraker commented on a statement of the detectives respect- Ing a letter he had written to one of the discharged soldiers he laid down his manuscript and with considerable vehemence declared: “1 have.doubtless written some let- ters needing explanation. I have doubtless written some letters that I would not have written if I had all the information I got at some other time. But I have never written any letter since I left my mother’s knee of which I have been ashamed or that needed any lying to explain.” As he proceeded his voice grew more and more intense. “If 1 have shown any undue zeal In commenting on this proceeding,” he said, again departing from his manuseript, “it is not through anger, but through that indignant resentment that every self-respecting man feely who is spled upon by, the government he is attempting to serve. No lan: guage can completely describe such a shameful performance and I do not exempt anybody from that remark who has been connected with it, from the highest to the lowest. “There will be a time,” he said, as he threw his manuscript down on his desk and looked over the senate chamber, “when men will not lightly fdleal with such charges and insinua- tions. There will-be a time when they will be where they can be called to account as other men can be called to account.” 1 PROTESTS ‘TO GOVERNMENT Diplomatic Corps at ‘Peking Takes United Action.

TURKEY ACCEPTS — NUSTRIK'S OFFER Way Now Clear for' Conference of the Powers. Constantinople, Jan. 13.—The Turk- ish government has accepted the Aus- tro-Hungarian ofter of £2,500,000 Turkish ($10,800,000) indemnity for the annexation of Bosnia and Herze- govina, thus removing every possibil- ity of war. The grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, received Marquis Pallavicini, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, and notified him of the decision of the council of ministers. Vienna, Jan. 13.—The foreign office has recefved a dispatch from Marquis Pallavicini, the Austro-Hungarian am- bassador in. Constantinople, that the Turkish grand vizier has informed him of the acceptance by the Turk- ish government of the Austro-Hun- garian proposals for a settlement of the dispute over Bosnia and Herze- govina. This direct arrangement be- tween the two principals clears the way for a conference of the signa- tories of the Berlin treaty, which, it is presumed here, will without doubt approve of a settlement agreeable to Turkey. It is felt here that the settlement reached between Austria-Hungary and Turkey may have an irritating effect on the other countries concerned in the"Near Eastern difficulty. Accord- ing to reports that have come into Vienna Servia and Montenegro resent the fact that they were not consid- ered in the arrangement and they may be expected to raise objections. PROMPTLY PASSES SENATE Foraker Resolution Asking for Ac- counting of Emergency Fund, ‘Washington, Jan: 13.—Without de- bate and without reference to commit- tee the senate passed a resolution pre- Sented by Senator Foraker calling on the secretary of the treasury for an itemized statement of the expenditure of the $3,000,000 appropriated by the act of March 3, 1899, to be expended at the direction of the- president as an emergency fund. This is the fund out of which the detectives, Browne and Baldwin, were paid for their services in investigat- ing . the Brownsville affair and for which expenditure Mr. Foraker sharp- ly criticised the president and Secre- tary Taft.

First Explosion Occurred Two Weeks Ago and the Last Body Had Been Recovered and State Officials Had Inspected the Colliery and:Author- ized Resumption of Work—Open Lamp Believed to Be Cause. Bluefield, W. Va., Jan. 13.—Over one hundred men perished as the result of a second explosion in the Lick Branch mine at Switchback, where fifty men were killed two weeks ago. ‘There were 300 men at work in the colliery at the time of the disaster and it fs not definitely known how many escaped.. Rescue parties have been unable to enter the mine on ac- count of the intense heat. The mine officials refuse to give an estimate. of the number that may have met death, but at the pit mouth.] it is now bel'eved that more than one hundred have perished. Fresh air is being forced into the shaft by way of the fan, which was not dam- aged. ‘While the officials cannot now sug- gest a cause for the explosion many miners ‘place the blame on some of the foreign miners who may have en- tered with an open lamp. It was known that there was a small quan- tity of gas in the mine and it is con- sidered probable that this may have suddenly increased after the miners began to work and that it was ig- nited by an open lamp. First Explosion on Dec. 28. On Dec. 28 last an explosion oc- curred in this mine, which, up to that time, had been regarded as a model mine. On that occasion the cause was not ascertained and the death list reached fifty. The last body in connection with that explosion was brought to the surface only last Fri- day, after which the state mine in- spector declared that the mine was again safe and that work could be re- sumed. The majority of the miners who were engaged to resume work at the mine were Americans, with a few foreigners and some colored workers as laborers. It was stated that the mine was examined just before the new shift went to work and that it ‘was reported to be perfectly safe. In spite of this, however, soon after work was begun the -explosion occurred, with a death list that will probably far exceed that of the December ex- plosion. The mine {s' the property of the Pocahontas Consolidated Collieries company and is situated in the Tug River district, a territory that until the December explosion had been un- usually free from gas. FIRST OF PRESENT WINTER Genuine Cold Weather in Central and Southwestern States, Louisville, Jan. 13.—The Central and Southwestern states are experi- encing the first genuine cold weather of the winter, with the prospects of still lower temperatures.

The coat of sleet on the streets gave un- told inconvenience and was the cause of many minor accidents. Trains frdm every direction were from two to four hours late. Brandegee Renominated.
