FITZGERALD AT GUATE- MALA CITY. F Special Dispatch to The Call. — | ALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, | N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.— Guatemala is now free to arrest and try W. Godfrey Hunter Jr., son of the United States Minister | to that country, for shooting and kiling | W. A. Fitzgerlad in Guatemala City last | Friday. The State Department has watved | { diplomatio immunity, which young er | and Mr. Balley, secrtary of the legation, | | whom, it is claimed, is also implicated, have, enjoved since the shooting. . Minister Hunter to-day cabled the State Department asking if Balley would be permitied to testify in the local courts. He did not say that young Hunter had been turned over to the authorities, but | it is surmised from the message:that he contemplates turning *over his son to the authorities for trial, if Bailey, who was with him at the time of the shooting, and who would undoubtedly be a favorable witness, is permitted to take the stand. Secretary Hay, as soon as he received the message, replied that Bailey could take the stand: that the State Department di- rected Minister Hunter to waive all diplo- matic immunity enjoyed by either young Hunter or Bailey. They are now placed precisely in the position of- private citi- zens in Guatemala. The United Staes is holding no protecting arms around. them. Bailey Is still on the list of the diplgmatic corps as secretary of the legation, but an. investigation will be made by the depart- ment which will probably result in his retirement.

Members of the British Labor Commission at the White House. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—President Roosevelt received to-day the members of the British Labor Commission, who are making a tour of the United States as the guests of Alfred Moreley, the British philanthropist. After greeting the mem- | bers of the party, the PredRlent said: ®] am delighted to have the pleasure of meeting you, gentlemen, and Mr. Marks, I have had communication with Mr. Marks on more than one question leading up to the coal strike. Naturally, like any man who has anything to do with public affairs, 1 not only take but am bound to take the very deepest interest in.all | the manifold social problems which in- clude as one section of them what we group together as the labor problem. “More and more as our modern indus- trial progress goes on there is a tendency to' work in federation _or combination, both among employers and among em- ployes, in corporations and in unions and of course, gentlemen, among the reasons why I take a very great interest in these combinations is the very fact that by their power they have such great possibility for good—which necessarily implies that they have also great possibilities for evil. Whether you wish them or not it is idie in my opinion to protest against the in- evitable tendency of the times toward both corporation and union. It is worse than folly to take exceptions to 'either corporation or union as such, The line should be drawn on conduct, “I gréet you with all heartiness and am delighted to see you. INCENDIARY DESTROYS RAILROAD PROPERTY One Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars the Im- mense Loss. OMAHA, Neb.,, Nov., 2%6.—Fire which started at midnight cofmpletely. destroyed storehouse No. 2 of the' Union Pacific Rallroad, together with its contents and several freight -cars, most of which were loaded with supplies. - Purchasing Agent George W. Griffith said the buliding con- tained fully $150,000 worth of stores, most of which were castings, iron pipe and other heavy materfal, all of which is ren- dered useless. The building is burned to the ground and is-a complete loss, which brings the total loss to $175,000. Officials of the railroad the fire was incendiary. The fire started in the north end of the building and a general alarm brought the most of the city department to the place. The Union Pacific firemen had already ar- rived, and the united efforts-of the two departments were required’ to' keep the fire from spreading. The pressure was insufficient for a time and the firemen were handicapped, but managed to con- fine the flames to the storehouse. L e e e e s il thought here that Bailey was perhaps the only witness of importance {n the tragedy, and that If he takes the stand he will tes- tify that young Hunter shot Fitzgerald in self-defense. Thus it may result that young Hunter will easily escape severe punishment. Fitzgerald was engaged and would have soon been married to the daughter of a prominent American busl- ness man of Guatemala. pe . NOT HIS FIRST OFFENSE. Young Hunter Has Made an Unsav- ory Record in Guatemala. According to the Louisville Courier- Journal, this is not the first time young Godfrey Hunter has earned unenviable notorfety in Guatemala. Last spring he left that country in a hurry because, it 1s said, of an escapade with a married lady. The account of the affair given by Thomas Seward, a New Yorker, connected with the United States Loan and Deposit Company, who returned from Guatemala in April last, reflected on both young Hunter and his father, Godfrey Hunter, the United States Minister to Guatemala. Seward’s account of the affair as given by the Courier-Journal is as follows: 1t was in the public park of Guatemala City that the affair occurred. Mrs. Barthel, the beautiful wife of Richard Barthel of New Or- leans, secretary of the American Improvement Company, which is completing the Guatemala Northern Rallroad, was a guest at the Hunter home. Her husband was out on the line of the road, and she had accepted the Hunters' escort to the park to attend a concert which was to take place there. I was sitting not thirty feet from the party. Young _Hunter came up and sat down beside Mrs. Barthel. Suddenly 1 _saw that something was wrong. and Mrs. Barthel fell over in a faint. The affair created a tremendous excitement. Young Hunter immediately afterward left the city. Seward also said the report that Presi- dent Cabrera had issued a decree of ban- ishment against young Hunter was incor- rect. He remained in Louisville from April to June, when he joined his father, who was on a leave of absence, in New York, and returned with him to Guate- mala. While in Louisville he refused to speak of the cause of his leaving the Central American city so suddenly. James G. Balley, the secretary of the legation, who figures in this last trouble, is a young lawyer from Shelbyville, Ky., about 32 years of age. He has represented his county in the Legislature of that State, and in 1897 was the Republican can- didate for Clerk of the Appelate Court of the State. Pest Killing Stanford’s Trees. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 26.— The great Stanford arboretum, a grove coritaining trees from all parts of the world, is threatened with denudation - of at least its coniferous trees, notably the Monterey pines, which are dying in great numbers. The trouble is all caused by a puny insect, species unknown, which bur- rows under the bark of the tree and lays its eggs, finally utterly Killing the tree at- tacked. The ravages of this beetle were first observed by members of the entomol- ogy ¢lasses, who bore their finds to Dr. Vernon Lyman Kellogg, head of that de- partment. Dr. Kellogg is now hard at work on the problem. It is belleved that he will ultimately discover a remedy. The same bug has been destroying the pines at Monterey for some time past,- Flks Open a New Home.

Y., Nov. 2.—Who- ever goes to Binghamton, as I did, will find a much alive, brisk city, with beau- tiful, wide, asphalted streets and charm- ing residential .sections. Its business streets are decked with handsome busi- ness buildings and public institutions, but rone of them can compare in magnitude and beauty with the new Swamp-Root Laboratory, now nearing completion. ~his tall, towering building is the first object that confronts the eye upon alight- ing from the train at the railway sta- tions. / The building itself is remarkable, be- cause, when finished, it will be the finest, most scientifically built and best equipped niedical laboratory in the world. It was the pleasure of The Call to send a representative to inspect this building; and from the standpoint of an architect, sclentist and searcher after the beautiful, I-can say, with warmth, that the trip from San Francisco was well worth while.

Special Dispatch to The: Call. DAWSON, Nov. 11 (via Seattle, Nov. 26.)—Edward Ayers, from Tulluly, Iils., dfed in the mountains far up Stewart River the latter part of last month and mysterfous circumstances surrounded his passing. Suspicions of foul play are en- tertained and mounted police have been dispatched across from Dawson to inves- tigate the case. The journey will cover 300 to 400 miles. On leaving Dawson, Ayers had several thousand dollars. He was bound for Dun* can Creek to be manager of a large mer- cantile store there for the winter. He had been serving as purser of the steamer Prospector of the Dawson-Duncan Land- ing route on Stewart River during the summer. On the last trip of the steamer up the Stewart Ayers went as a passen- ger. The steamer was unable, because of low wateér, to get to Duncan Landing and had to land her forty passengers three miles below the mouth of McQues- tep River. This is forty miles from Dun- can Creek, whither all of the party. were destined. Ayers and three other men struck out overland for Duncan Creek. Ayers rode a horse and the others walked. When the three- men who started with Ayers got through to Duncan they went to the Northwest ‘Mounted Police post and. re- ported that Ayers had died on the trip. “They sald he was attacked by a severe cramp, and, after suffering ~agony! for hours, succumbed. Sergéant Davis, in charge of the post at Duncan Landing, dispatched Constable Forrest with a dog team to bring'in the body. Forrest found the body on a high mountain. He searched the clothing and found only one silver dollar. 3 Ayers was a Mason and the local lodge of Masons is helping to unravel the mys- tery. -The body will be brought to Daw- son and examined thoroughly and every effort made to see if there has been foul play. Ayers was a robust man and but 26 years old. He came here in 1899 and has been -associated with Thomas O'Brien’s trading and traffic enterprises most of the time. Friends Kidnap a Bridegroom. PASADENA, Nov. 26.—As soon as the preacher had pronounced Burton Hutch- ins and Miss Verda Fawcett husband and wife last night, the male friends of the groom kidnaped him. The brother of the bride called together some of his friends and rescued the groom in a hand-to-hand scuffle. - Then the kidnapers surrounded the hcouse and the bride was forced to steal through a window to join her hus- band for their honeymoon trip. et i Californians in New York.

The magnitude of the building is not all. It will stand for centuries. It has the finest of modern steel construction, with fireproof masonry and cement arches; not a plece of wood is used in its structure. It is situated on the most central and commanding site in the city and has a frontage of 231 feet on Lewis street, 345 feet on Chenarigo street and 407 feet on Lackawanna avenue; its floor space amcunts to the astonishing area of four and one-half acres, and is to be devoted exclusively to the Swamp-Root business. The building is eight stories high, built of steel, granite and light colored brick, and its architecture is of the most pleas- ing style.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2§—At a meeting of the County Council of Labor to-night Mayor Schmitz gave out the details of an cffort on the part of Mayor Snyder to erdeavor to prevent him entering actively into the Los Angeles municipal campaign. He said: that Snyder had called upon him and suggested that before he proceeded with his campaign work he should inform himself as to local conditions. Snyder said that four out of five of the working men would vote for him if there were no other candidate and further asserted that Presldent James Gray of the Council of Labor would verify his statements. Schmitz replied that he had promised Snyder to investigate conditions here, and, hayving done so, he found no reason why he should not take up the fight for the Union Labor candidates. He there- fore proposed to do all that he could for that ticket, whether it injured Snyder's candidacy or not. President Gray sald in a speech that Snyder had ‘asked him to take Schmitz out of the fight, but he had refused. Negro Hanged in New Jersey. BRIDGETON, N.

They sat down and wrote their thanks for what Swamp-Root had done for them and asked that their testimonials be published in or- der that all might know of this wonder- ful medical discovery.

Special Dispatch to The Call SEATTLE, Nov. 26—The boldest rob- bery ever committed in Seattle took place at 12:30 o’clock this morning when a masked man suddenly entered the gam- bling room over the Bohemian saloon, in the heart of the business district, com- manded those present to hold up their hands and carried off the bank roll amounting to $580. Street talk has it that a number of prominent business men were in the poker game when the robber appeared and that one of these, in a search following the logt of the dealer's till, was relleved of $200. Charles Mullen, proprietor of the Bohemian, and the po- lice who are investigating the case deny that any one was in the gambling room except Dealer Hillbury, Thomas Collan and a woman whose name is not given out. Collan is under'arrest, suspected .of complicity in the hold-up. He went into the gambling room just before 12:30 o'clock, bought $1 worth of chips and sat down to play. Before the cards were thrown around, the masked man . ap- peared. Hillbury attempted to arise, but Collan thrust him back, saying: “Leok out. He'll shoot!” After the robber disap- peared Hillbury started to follow him, but was again stopped by Collan, who said hefeared the robber would return and kill them all. . These actions gave rise to suspicion and Collan is now in Jail. ‘The Bohemian is one of the busiest ccrners in the city, away from the so- called disorderly district. It is directly opposite the Post-Intelligencer, in a part of the towp usually crowded at all hours. Strenuous efforfs were made by Mullen ard the police to keep the affair out of the papers and this gave the idea that they were trying to shield certain mea who were gambling. 2 or dil. lon, for; We A pure any corsiderable size.
