BERLIN, March 4—The country medi- | cal practitioner in Germany is to have | an opportunity to learn the latest devel- | opments in surgery and general medicine | from a traveling university that will bring post graduate instruction to the | nearest large town In his vicinity free of charge. Emperor Willlam gave his | signature Monday to the plans for this | work, which will be pald for by the Gov- ernment and by small contributions from medical socleties. Great specialists, such as Professors Lassar, Bergmann and Rumpf, will | charge small fees for their services. Pro- fessor Lassar has already contributed 1000 | gpecimens of ekin diseases to the mu- seum which will be carried from place to place with laboratory appliances. The country doctor can thus come to his neighboring city for a week or two once & year and hear the leaders of his pro- fession explain the latest processes for | treatment or see celebrated surgeons ope- rate. The idea of the traveling univer- sity appears to have originated with the late Empress Frederick, who used to talk to Professor Renvers about it. The Ba- varian Government already has made & limited use of the suggestion. R e e i e e ] ] ing which he gave himself little rest, the detective gathered here and there bits of information that later proved most val- uable in the case. By the time he had reached Hot Springs it had developed that Rudolph had been known among his hobo | friends as “Black Frank” and had been in Connecticut. Willlam Pinkerton then placed his brother Robert, in New York, ir sion of information regarding | “Black Frank” and under the direction of Robert Pinkerton the cleverest operators in the New York brarch of the detective office were sent over into Connecticut, where Laduc’s career was traced back to former operations in Quebec, at which place a family of that name was found &nd who had a son supposed to be in | Connecticut. In Hot Springs Willlam Pinkerton dis- | covered where Lewls and Rudolph had stopped and learned that they were mo- rese and sullen and made few acquaint- ances. Probing further, the detective struck a most important clew and one that fur- nished him the means of positively identi- fying his men should they be arrested, | He found a dentist who had operated on | the teeth of both Lewis and Rudolph, do- tng work for the latter which cost $300. Rudolph had had the whole upper part of his mouth bridged with gold and Lewls {Liad had a number of teeth filled. Pursuing his search, Pinkerton located a rubber in a bath house who furnished him with the information that Lewis had tattooed on his breast a Mexican eagle with @ snake in Its talons and that sround one wrist was tattooed a bracelet nd on his hand a star. Lewis had told he rubber that he had been a soldler in the Philippines and that while there the | .,mmittes of the strikers, but declined by tattoo marks had been picked into his skin by a Japanese. SOUGHT BANKS TO ROB. Next a _bobo furnished Pinkerton with the tip that he had met Rudolph and Lewis in lowa, where they had been wan- dering about looking for country banks ttat might be robbed. He said further that the missing men had been in Sedalia, Mo., a few months before. Pinkerton again visited the Hot Springs | @entist and from him gained the further information that one day Lewis had | proved himself a clever machinist by quickly repairing a lathe that had broken | while the dentist was working on his teeth. Hurrying to Sedalia, Pinkerton resumed the search for the murderers and fcund where they had occupied a room, | had been arrested for the commission of tty crimes and the further and more artling fact that Lewis was not Laduc, as previously suspected, but had served | in Company I of the Thirty-fifth. Infantry | in the Philippines with a sergeant named | Laduc, who had been killed and that | Lewis had taken the name of his soldier friend. Investigation along other lines brought out the fact that Lewis had formerly {lived in Hartford, where his wife's sister | had been his consort. He had left home on her sccount and gome to the Philip- | pines, but wthiile there he had corresponded | with the woman. Again Detective Pink- | erton was given a surprise in the discov- ery that Lewls’ real name was George A. | Collins, and that one of his brothers was | an expert mechanic_ and that another | brother, also a mechanic, lived in Meri- | den, Conn. The outlaw. it was found, had | served his apprenticeship as a machinist |in a shop at Hartford. Fully satisfied that the trail of the bank robbers was getting warm William Pink- | erton again sought the assistance of his | brother Robert in New York, and the lat- | ter at once prepared to trap the crimi- | nals. | Accordingly a picked guard of opera- | tars in charge of Gecrge S. Dougherty, assistant chief of the Pinkerton criminal bureau in New York, was sent to Hart- ford, there to await the home-coming of the robbers, and William Pinkerton, sat- isfied that his labors were soon to be rewarded in the capture of the two men, started for San Francisco on his way to the Orient, LOCATES THE OUTLAWS. On Friday, while en route to the city, Mr. Pinkerton received a dispatch from Dougherty stating that he had located Collins and Rudolph’and was prepared to capture or kill them. Three days later, when Mr. Pinkerton arrived in San Francisco and was reg- istering his name at the Palace, a dis- patch was handed him announcing that the fugitives had been taken. From advices received later by the de- tective % appears that Dougherty and his own meh, assisted by the police of Hart- ford, surrounded the house in which Col- lins and Rudolph had gone Into hiding and after a desperate fight had captured their men. Collins was quickly overpow- ered, but Rudolph, arined with a 45-cali- ber revolver, showed fight and had to be clubbed into submission. On the person of the twoemen the offi- cers found $2000 in coin and currency, and later they unearthed $8000 more. They now believe that the balance of the plun- der, Including the stolen bonds, will be recovered. Discussing the fmportant capture last night, William Pinkerton said: n the landing of these two men we have rid the bankers of the annoyance of two most e criminals. I have found where they ‘worked all over the Northwest, and I am convinced that when Collins first returned from the Philippines he for a ‘time belonged to the gang of thieves who were implicated in the kill- ing in San Francisco of Police Officer E. C. Robinson. They belong to a new class of burglars who are called the Yeggs, or tramps, and who trave! over the country perpetrating all kinds of crimes. I be- Jieve, however, that the robbery of the bank of Union was the t undertak- ing they ever had a in, and I am satisfied that it will be their last for many years, for they will be rigidly prosecuted ‘Schumacher.’ for the murder of TROOPS GUARD MINING PLANTS Colorado Militia Are on Duty at Ore Reduc- tion Mills. Citizens of Town Concerned Sign Protest to the Governor. e COLORADO CITY, Colo.,, March 4— The troops sent here by Governor Pea- body are doing guard duty about the ore reduction mills, which are operating with non-union workmen. There has been no disturbance of any kind here to-day. The following petition, protesting against Governor Peabody's action in sending militla here, has been signed by 600 citizens, including the Mayor and the city officials: To His Excellency, the Governor of Colorado: We, the undersigned citizens of Colorado City. beg’ leave to call your attention to & few facts regarding the industrial condition of our city, caused by the Mill and Smelter Men's Union atrike, and also to protest against the militia of the State being called cut at this time as follows First—The strike has so far been conducted in an orderly manner and no violence has been done, except petty quarrels by individuals. Second—The situation is completely under the control of the proper peace officers of Colo- rado City and the Sherift of El Paso County. Third—There is no occasion- whatever, nor s there any need at this time for the Chief Ex- ecutive of our State to send or contemplate sending the State troops in anticipation of pos- sible riots. The strikers know the law and the leaders and the men now on strike are among our best citizens and are old residents of El Paso County, who respect law and order. Fourth—These men do not go armed and are under complete control of their leaders, who advise them at all times to respect the proper authorities. Governor Peabody sald to-day that he had received some protests on account of his sending the State troops to Colo- rado City, but that he was satisfied that he had only done his duty. “The troops will stay there,” he de- clared, “just as long as they are needed to protect property, and when they are no longer needed they will at once be ordered home."” faal ST WATER FRONT TIED UP. Canadian Pacific Strike Is Assum- ing Alarming Proportions. VANCOUVER, B. C., March 4—The strike of the United Brotherhod of Rail- way Employes against the Canadian Pa- cific Rallroad is apparently assuming more serious proportions than the com- pany anticipated. Developments came rapldly to-day and a settlement seems no nearer this evening than when the strike was inaugurated last Friday. The Vancouver water front is now practically tled up. The long- shoremen, in sympathy with the striking clerks and freight handlers, have refused | to discharge the cargo of the Empress of India upon her arrival from Hongkons. In consequence of all this the Canadian | Pacific Railway has issued a circular to | all zhippers notifying them that owing to the refusal of the freight handlers of Vancouver to work freight, the company must decline to receive any freight for shipment by rail or water until the pres- ent difficulty is adjusted. The Vancouver Board of Trade to-day proffered its services as mediator and the offer has been accepted by the executive the rallway company. The company is willing, however, to riedlation by a com- mittee compored of the company’s own employes whose unions have recognition at headquarters. Practically all the unions of Vancouver have indorsed the strike and have pledged moral and financial support to the strikers. The New Westminster and Revelstock members of the brotherhood are out. No further word has been re- ceived from Nelson and Winnipeg, but from the last advices receive . the mem- bers of the United Brotherhood of Rail- way Employes there stated that they were only awaiting the word from their Vancouver brethren. DASPIT CONFESSES HE KNEW OF THE MURDER San Jose Authorities Will Prosecute Him as an Accomplice of the Slayer of Andre Soeur. BAN JOSE, March 4.—Wilson Howard, the negro who murdered Andre Soeur, the old garbage man, was arraigned be- fore Judge Hyland in the Superior Court to-day on the charge of murder. He was informed of his rights, Attorney James P. Sex was appointed to defend him. Albert Daspit, the other negro under arrest, will be prosecuted as an accom- plice. Daspit to-day confessed that he knew the crime was to be committed and that when he took the $ he knew where the money came from. He sald that Thursday night Howard had come to his room and showing him a pistol asked him to smell it. It had recently been discharged and Howard told Daspit he had killed a son of Soeur's and threw him In a well. “To-morrow night I will kill the old man and then I will leave the country,” sald Howard. Daspit was given all the details of the planned murder and he agreed to keep Howard posted. Howard was to go to San Francisco and buy a soldier’s uniform and prepare to leave the -country. Daspit said he had agreed to keep How- ard posted on the discovery of the murder. Howard was to call him up on the tel- cphone from San Francisco. Howard was to ask Daspit how he liked his job. If no suspicion had been attracted to How- ard as the murderer Daspit was to an- swer “0. K.” But if the officers were looking for Howard Daspit was to ai gwer, “I don’t like the job.” Howard and Daspit were then brought together and both admitted the facts as related, except Howard sald he was “joshing” about murdering Soeur’s son. Frank Wright, the third suspect, was rcleased from custody to-day. KNAPP SAYS HIS LAST WIFE WAS MURDERESS HAMILTON, Ohio, March 4.—Ailfred Knapp, the strangler, to-night accused his last dead wife of murder. “The woman I killed,” he said, ‘“was no better than I am. She committed murder and I know it, becaue she told me so her- self. May be I ought not to say that against Hannah, but it is the truth never- theless. I do not mean the Eckhart case, although she helped me kill Mary Bck- hart. But in Cincinnati, in May, 1804, she smothered her own baby to death and said it was an accident. The baby was only a few months old. “One night she ran up to the city hos- pital in Cincinnati, carrying the baby in her arms. It was still breathing but al- most dead, and it died in & stort time. She told the hospital people that she had found its head buried under the covers of the bed when she woke up and did not know how it occurred. Her word was never questioned and she was never sus- pected of the murder. Hannah told me all about it hersel .

Ramsey Says Plenty of Men Could Be Found to Take Strikers’ Places. ST. LOUIS, March 4—Developments in the impending strike situation on the Wabash were very few to-day and with- out interest. Everything now hinges on the injunction, which the labor leaders will attempt to have dissolved, and until this is done away with there can be no strike, for they have agreed to obey the court's order. E. T. Irwin of Peoria, Ill., and E. V. Penney of Cleveland, attorneys for the trainmen, spent the day in confer- ence with Messrs. Morrissey and Arnold end other union leaders, examining the petition on which the Injunction was Is- sued and preparing an answer that will be presented in court, probably to-morrow, to secure a dissolution of the restraining order. There were no developments at Wabash headquarters. President Ramsey sald: “Everything s running smoothly and there are no indicatlons that our men have gone out or will soon. I have not seen the members of the grievance com- nittée to-day and know nothing of what s transpiring at their headquarters.” Asked as to the effect of a sympathet- ic strike on the part of the trackmen, 2000 of whom Grand Master Wilkinson says are ready to support the trainmen and firemen if they go out, President Ramsey sald: “It would have very little effect on the situation. In case of a strike we could get all the men we should need to take the places of strikers in all de- partments A lengthy statement was issued to-day by President Ramsey addressed to em- ployes of the Wabash Railroad Company and others interested, explaining his posi- tion in the present crisis. BECKWITH PASS RAILWAY PRESENTS ITS ARTICLES General Manager of Southern Pacific Will Oppose the Granting of Corporate Papers. SACRAMENTO, March 4.—Articles of incorporation were tendered for filing to Secretary of State Curry this afternoon of the Western Pacific Railway Company, but the certificates were not issued as asked for. Secretary Curry recelved word that Julius Kruttschnitt, general mana- ger of the Southern Pacific Company, will appear before him to-morrow to ar- gue against the fssuance of the asked for articles of incorporation. This appears to be the first outward recognition the Southern Pacific has given of the exist- ence of the Beckwith Pass Railway pro- Ject, which is back of the present appli- cation. Fees were tendered to Secretary of State Curry in the sum of $5005 for the articles of Incorporation, $100 on each $1,- 000,000 of capital stocl tificate and $2 for recording. It was discovered, however, that at one time a Western Paclfic Railway Company was operated in California and that the franchise for it has not yet run out. Sec- retary of State Curry, while not holding that this fact should stand in the way of the issuance of the Beckwith Pass arti- cles, belleves that all parties should have a chance to be heard on the point. This decision has given rise to the coming of General Manager Kruttschnitt. The di- rectors of the corporation applying for the articles are given as Henry J. Fort- mann, J. Dalzell Brown, A. C. Kains, John Treadwell, Walter J. Bartnett, F. M. West, James Treadwell, David F. Walker, George A. Batchelder, John Lloyd and C. A. Gray. The route of the proposed road is given in the articles of incorpora- tion as follows: Commencing at San Francisco, thence by ferry and barge to Oakland, thence to Stockton, thence to Sacramento over and across the streets, alleys and squares thereof, thence to to Oroville, thence along the morth fork of Feather River, thence along the east branch of the north fork of Feather River, thence along Span- ish and Green Garden creeks, across Si- erra Valley and through Beckwith Pass to a point on the boundary line between California and Nevada, thence across Ne- vada, through Utah to Salt Lake City. —_— BATTLE IN MOROCCO WON BY THE REBELS Sultans Forces Retreat With Loss of Fifty Killed and One Hun- dred Wounded.

Selling Orders Flow In and Fairly Swamp the Bull Leaders. NEW YORK, March 4—An avalanche of selling orders swept over the cotton market to-day and amid great excite- ment prices broke with such violence that for a time panicky conditions were feared. The bull clique were steady and heavy buyers, however, and their sup- port checked the tendency toward ex- treme demoralization. The closed highly excited at from 11 to u points below last night's closing. March and May opened at declines of 10 points, selling at 10.17c and 9.99c re- spectively, as against 10.17c and 10.19¢ yes- terday at the close and the high record price of 10.25c and 10.17¢ earlier yesterday. The bull leader bought vallantly and rallied the market at 10.15c for March and 10.04c for May. He took more than 25,000 bales, but a flood of offerings in thousand and five thousand bale lots poured in upon him. All sorts of reports became current and as the selling pressure in- creased prices made violent plunges downward, 5 points at a time. The climax came at the end of the noon hour, when an avalanche of selling orders from all diyections appeared. The May option made a running break to 9.88c, a level of 21 points, or more than a dollar a bale from last night's close, and the March option dropped with even greater violence from 10.17¢ to 9.96c. The July op- tion fell from 9.5lc to 8.63c. As prices crambled away many stop-loss orders, held by brokers on customers’ accounts, were reached and their execution and the bear raid made the low prices. It was estimated that the bulls were compelled to take more than 200,000 bales in support of the market and the total transactions up to the close were esti- mated at nearly 1,000,000 bales.

Supreme Court Thinks That Its Honor Has Been Satisfled. Horace W. Philbrook, the disbarred at- torney, was restored to practice by the Supreme €ourt yesterday. Chiet Justice Beatty and Associate Justices Angellottl, Shaw and Van Dyke, a majority of the court, signed the order. The reinstate- ment is unqualified, other than by re- marks to the effect that the decision is rendered In response to a respectful peti- tion which shows just cause. Philbrook was disbarred on January 5. il&ifl. for having used contemptuous lan- guage In a communication to the Supreme Court. At the time he represented the heirs of John Levinson, formerly a mem- ber of the firm of Newman & Levinson. Justice Harrison, previous to his eleva- tion to the Supreme bench, represented the partles opposed to Philbrook’s clients. ‘When the State's highest tribunal rem- dered a decision adverse to the latier he filed a document charging conspiracy on the part of Harrison and several practie- ing attorneys. Other members of the court were se- verely censured in the communlication and threats of public exposure of alleged in- famy were made. The court disbarred Philbrook forthwith. He subsequently filed a petition for reinstatement, which was generally considered to be but littie less severe In its criticisms than the for- mer document. A civil suit was brought against the members of the court, the Commissioners | and several attorneys who took part in the disbarment proceedings. The aection did not result in any benefit to Phil- brook. Then he instituted a suit for dam- ages In the State Superior Court. This lso failed of its purpose. Other pro- ceedings bore as little fruit. When three new members of the court | took office on the first of the year Phil- | brook filed another petition for rein- | statement and the court has relented. The original order of the tribunal was disbarment for three years and further until a reversing order should be made. The punishment has amounted to disbar- | ment for more than eight years. CHINESE FAN-TAN PLAYERS TRIED AND CONVICTED Raids of the Chinatown Squad Bring Coin Into the City Treasury. Sergeant Clarence Coogan’s capture of seventy fan-tan players Tuesday night has afforded great satisfaction to Chief Wittman and the Pglice Commissioners, as it has shown them that he is thoroughly | capable of coping with the wily Chinese and will carry out his instructions to.sup- press all gambling. The sixty-five Chinese arrested at 823 ‘Washington street appeared before Po- | lice Judge Cabaniss yesterday morning and after hearing the evidence the Judge convicted them and fined the keeper $25 and each of the sixty-four visitors $. In Police Judge Conlan’s court the five Chi- nese arrested at 2 Ross alley pleaded guil- ty. The keeper was fined $20 and the four visitors $ apiece. The fines aggregate $290, and was paid into court. This Is an excellent record for one night. One member of the squad was tempo- rarily transformed into a Chinese through the artistic efforts of George Osbourne of the Alcazar Theater stock company, which enabled him to pass the lookouts without challenge. Charges of Malicious Mischief and Disturbing the Peace Are Dismissed. Mrs. Carrie Nation was very meek and lowly in her demeanor when she appeared before Police Judge Mogan yesterday on the charges of malicious mischief and disturbing the peace at the Russ House bar Sunday night. The Judge was in- formed that the damage caused by the defendant smashing a bottle had been pald and there was no desire on the pa-t of the complainant to carry the matter further. The Judge said he would dis- miss the charge of malicious mischief, as the damage had been paid, and he would also dismiss the charge of disturbing the peace. “I want you to understand,” said the Judge to the defendant, “that you cannot enter saloons in this city against the pro- test of the owners. They are engaged in a legitimate business and the law will protect them. Do you understand that?” ADVERTISEMENTS. KEEP YOUR HAIR.
