Special Dispatch to The Call. HUTCHINSON, Kans.,, March 20.— An atrocious crime was revealed here to-day when the Coroner and his as- sistants removed the dead bodies of | five little children from the house oc- cupied by John Moore, which burned at | an early hour. A Coroner’s jury inves- tigated the case, and jn accordance with the jury’s recommendation Moore. the father of the dead children. was ar- rested on a charge of murder. The tragedy has caused much excitement here and there is some talk of lynching the prisoner. However, a lynching is not looked for. When the firemen and neighbors réached the burning house the father was the only member of the family of seven found outside. His actions were queer and he would not talk. While the building was still burning and his children were within the burning walls he. took a horse from his stable and rode away. When the firemen entered the house. after having partly quenched the flames, they found the five children ly- ing side by side in a bed on the floor. all dead but not badly burned. The dead were: Carl, aged 12; Mary, aged 10; Pearl, aged 8; Charles, aged 7, and Lee, aged 3. The Coroner’s autopsy, held this af- ternoon, developed convincing evidence of an awful crime. The skull of each child was deeply indented and from the dents long fractures extended. All but one of the children had been stabbed in the neck. The throat of the little 3-year-old boy, a pretty boy, had been that he was awakened from a | deep sleep by the smoke and that he | found the house afire all. over. It was fteen minutes, he said, before he re- SAUSALITO, March 2.—The explosion of an oil lamp this evening resulted in the total destruction by fire of the dwellini house of Manuel Santos, an employe o the North Pacific Coast Railway Coms pary. The loss is about $1500, with no in. surance. Continued on Second Page. MILLIONS ADVANCED TO THE PRETENDER From Rome Comes a Story That Don Carlos Will Soon Start a. Revolution in Spain. OME, March 20.—The Opinione revives the story that Don Carlos, the Spanish pre- tender, has secured advances of several mil- lions from English and French bankers and will soon enter Spain. The precise ddte is deferred until the ratifications of the treaty of peace between Spain and the United States have been exchanged, but, according to the Opinione, the Carlists and Spanish republicans will start a revolution immediately after the exchange is made. LONDON, March 21.—The Madrid correspondent of the Standard, in a dispatch dealing elaborately with the plans of the Spanish Govern- ment to reorganize the finances of the country, says: “But even. With all the contemplated reductions and a settlement of the colonial and imperial debts, Spain will require about £35,000,000 for her future amnual expenditure, and her taxation has never yet pro- duced more than £31,000,000.” OO OSSO RO BORORONS SOROROROS OROROO% L Lol DROOEON SROBGROR GRORILWGR S ROLORCE §
