WIFE OF REV, HENNESS FORCES THE IS§UE She In at Conference, Often in Tears, and the Matter Has Been Or- dered Conmstdered at'w Spe- elal Chareh Trial | KEOKUK, Ia., Sept. 20.—The Iowa confer- ence of the Methodist church was aroused today by the sudden and unexpected pre entatlon of the case of Rev. P. J. Henne one of Its members now living In South Dakota. Mr. Henness separated from his j company, wife during the last year and refuses to| state the reason. His wife is here at the conference, often in tears, and her hus- band will not speak to her. Mr. Henne tried to have the case ventllated on the floor of the conference, but Bishop Ham- llton referred it to a trial by a committee of eleven members, with two judge advo- cates and two attorneys for Henness. The charges before the trial committee, which is sitting with closed doors, are that under the conditions Henness is not a suitable minister to be sent out as a pastor. No question of sexual morality is involved. The verdict will settle the policy of the ohurch on & new question. Henness and his attorneys insisted that a correspondent of the press be admitted to the sessions of the trial committee, but this was refused ‘and executive sessions were ordere The trial makes a sensation In the conference and is expected to continue until Monday. Tonlght a second bombshell explodéed when friends of Henness began to call at- tention to the fact that his case Is parallel with that of one of the oldest bishops of the church. They are talking that if this conference decides refusal to live with his wite is unclerical conduct, then the lowa conference must memorialize the general conference of the church to take action on the case of that bishop. It is claimed that today's proceedings will have results as tar-reaching as Methodls FAIRBANKS OPENS CAMPAIGN fndiana Senator Talks of Trusts Revision of Tariffi—Says Action Should Be G NEWCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 20,—Senator Charles W.

This after- roon Willlams appeared at the Harney resi- dence and asked his wife to take the child and live with him. She refused, when he threatened the wife's life and then took the child by force.

He then drove away towards Loami. Officers were telephoned and whe: ‘Willtams saw them approaching he took the child @nd. left the buggy. He then shot the child and himeelf. Willlams was short in his accounts with the insurance company dnd had frequently quarrelled with his wite.

Harry Stratton of Tulon, Ill., $50,000, in case he does not contest or cause to be con- tested, this will.”" This son has lived away from the father ever since he was born. Concerning him there has been much spee- ulation, as Mr. W. 8. Stratton was divorced from his wife immediately after the birth of the boy. The son visited the father but two or three times In life and arrived in this city only after the death of the multi- millionaire. He is still in the city.

Mr. Stratton instructs the balance of the estate not utilized in the establishment of the institution be rein- vested in good interest-bearing securlties, the income from which is to be turned over to the trustees to be used according to their discretion in keeping up the home. ZANGWILL IS MUCH PLEASED He Considers Hay's Recent Note = Noble and Historic Document, Setting Grand Precedent. LONDON, Sept. 20.—Secretary Hay's note to the powers which signed the Berlin treaty of 1878, on the subject of Rouma- nia's treatment of the Jews, has aroused widespread Interest in the Jewish commu- nity of London. Israel Zangwill, the au- thor, who is an authority among his co-re- ligionists and a ceaseless worker for the improvement of the position of the poorer among them, sald to a representative of the Assoclated Press: “Secretary Hay's note regarding the Rou- manian violation of the treaty of Berlin is a noble, historic document, setting a precedent In political righteousness. It is a worthy pendant to President Roosevelt's setting The Hague international arbitra- tion court in metion. Both tend to the creation of a non-existent branch of jus South T-nly fuur!t" venue, tice—international ethies—the absence of which makes our civilisation a farce, since all evil is sanctioned If only enough people commit it. “America cannot be seriously injured by Jewish Immigration and its action was un- doubtedly chivalrous. Yet, as the main refuge and hope of the homeless Jew, it has @ technical case for interference, even though not represented at the Berlin con- gress. The world is all inter-connected with any action of one power that tends to incommode another. It is practically an act of aggression. More -especially should this principle be pushed to its ut- most limits when monstrous injustice is belng perpetrated and an unoffending pop- ulation is being done to death. If the Bu- ropean powers do mot interfere to enforce the treaty of Berlin I do not see how they can escape the deduction that violation of treaties is a casus belll only when some commercial interest is to be exploited.” AIR SHIP COMPLETE SUCCESS Stanley Spencer Travels Thirty Miles Has Complete Control of His Machine. LONDON, Sept. 20.—Stanley Spender, the aeronaut, who yesterday traveled nearly thirty miles over London in an airship of his own invention, today furnished interesting n.:;u- of bis flight among the clouds. He said: “At ome time I feared an explosion of the balloon, but the automatic valve pi vented a catastrop! The engine also threatened to ignite the gas of the balloon, but this danger I also overcame. “I had the engine under perfect con- trol and could turn in any direction.

Its epeed CHRISTIANTA, Sept. —Captain Otto Sverderup, who reached Stavager yesterday from the Arctic reglons on the steamer Fram, in an intérview with a reporter of the Associated Press gave the following detalls of bis expedition: “I spent the winter of 1898-99 in winter quarters at Elsmereland, when scientific expeditions were started with sledges. T summer of 1809 was unfavorable. ‘“THere was a serious fire on board Fram, started from sparks, and spread to the Ar e canoes, which were smeared with paraf- fine for their protection.

The sledge expeditions occupled the spring and summer of 1501 and the early part of 1902, “‘On August 6 Fram succeeded in break- away from the ice and arrived at God- haven August 18.

LONDON, Sept. 20.—Evelyn B. Baldwin of the Baldwin-Zeigler Arctic expedition ar- rived in London today on his way home.

The most southerly is on Alger island, eighteen miles north of the Jackson-Harmsworth ex- pedition’s former headquarters. A second station eituated on Greeley island, close to the eighty-first parallel, near a large island which was charted last spring and named President McKinley lsland, Thirty-five miles farther north is a third station equipped with 5,000 pounds of con- densed food on an M d discovered, but not yet named.

TELLS DETECTIVES SEARCH IS VAIN Declares that He Was Soom to Kill Himself—Ofiicers Half Inclined to Accept Note nn Genuine, NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Captain Titus of the detective bureau has just received through the maile a short note supposed to have been writken by Hooper Young, sus- pected of the murder of Mrs. Joseph Pul- itzer, it was enclosed in a small envelope, such as is used In hotels for sending cards to the rooms of guests. Inside the envelope was a small sheet of paper on which was tten “Search in vain. I have killed myself. “H. YOUNG." After a comparison with the known hand- writing and signature of the missing man, Captain Titus, while not openly declaring that It was genuine, said that it did not look like the work of a crank and that the signature was written by a man evi- dently used to writing it. An autopsy performed on the-body of Mre. Joseph Pulitzer, who was mysteriously murdered in a Fifty-elghth street flat and whose body was found in the Morris canal, showed that her death was caused primarily by a knife wound in the abdomen and not by chloral. Several blows were struck on the head before death, but the skull was not fractured and there was no signs of cerebral hemmorhage. A police dragnet has been thrown out for William Hooper Young, grandson of the great Mormon leader, Brigham Young, who is suspected of the killing. Among the books found in Young's room in the flat was the cover of a small memo- randum, on the front of which was stamped in gllded letters, “Practical Reference.” On the inside were a number of notes headed “Blood Atonement,” and followed by biblical references, including an excerpt from the Book of Corinthians, reading: “To deliver such an one unto satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may survive in the day of the Lord Jesus." Detectives have traced Young to Brook- Iyn, where he went on Thursday morning to bid a friend goodby. To this friend he sald he was going to the Rocky mountains. A trunk shipped to Chicago through the Wells-Fargo express was consigned to C. 8. Filing. The police do not belleve it contained anything other than clothing be- longing, possibly, to Mrs. Pulitzer, as very little of the murdered woman's apparel has been found John W. Young, father of the man sus- pected of the murder, who is now in Paris, has communicated with friends in this city, informing them that he will return to New York for the purpose of defending his son. Mr. Young has also cabled instruc- tions to his most intimate friend to emmuyl counsel for his son. Chicago Detective Gets Trunk., CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—What is believed to be convincing evidence that Willlam Hooper Young is the murderer of Mrs. An- nie Pulitzer, whose body was found in the Morris canal, near Jersey City, last Thurs- day, was discovered here today by the po- lice In a trunk that had been shipped to Chicago from New York. It wi on- signed to C. . Filing and marked “hold until called for.” As 1o such name Is in the Chicago ai- rectory the conclusion was reached that the name was fictitious. The express offi- clals gave Detective Lieutenant Rohan permission to examine the package. In the trunk were found a blood-stained dagger, several articles of feminine apparel marked A and “‘Pulitzer” and nearly 100 let- ters addressed to Willlam Hooper Young. After a thorough examination the trunk was resealed and reshipped to New York over the Erle rodd ST. LOUIS WAITS FOR MONDAY Judge Gannt Is to Decide Then Delegates Shall Be Heleased trom Jail, i ST.
