S L L IVORIES AND LACES\FOUND IN MRS. CHADWICK'S HOME Articles Worth Ten Thousand Dollars in Hands of Government In- spectors. CLEVELAND, Jan. 22.—United States Customs Inspector Leach has found valuable ivories and laces be- longing to Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick in the Chadwick home on Euclid ave- nue. Leach will learn whether duty has been paid upon the articles, all of which have been imported. The goods | were taken to the office of Receivar [ Nathan Loeser and will be examined by -~ expert. They are said to worth at least $10,000. If it be shown that the duty has not been pald upon the goods they will be sold to recover the duty and the surplus proceeds will become part of fhe fund which the receiver is accu- mulating for the benefit of the Chad- wick creditors. — e be | FOUR TRAINMEN KILLED IN RAILWAY COLLISION Two Others Fatally Hurt on the Louisville and Nashville Line in Tennessee, MIDDLESBORO, Ky., Jan. 22.— A head-on collision between two fruit trains on the Louisville and Nashville near Shawnee, Tenn., to-day, resulted in the death of four railroad men.

LONDON, Jan. 23.—Such phrases as these, extracted from editorial articles in the London morning newspapers, in- dicate the opinion held here of yester- days’ events at St. Petersburg: “Revolt has been quelled, but revolu- tion begun.” / “The bureaucracy has declared its policy; it is the policy of Blagovest- chenk—massacre.” “The inevitable reaction has begun, and with it a new chapter in Russia history and probably also in the his- tory of Europe and Asia.” “The revolutionary movement in Russia has received its baptism of blood, its crown of martyrdom.” “Is there a Mirabeau or even a Dan- ton in Russia to-day?” “A very grave responsibility lies to- day at the door of the Czar, who failed to grasp his unique opportunity.” ““The ‘Little Fatheér’ has become the murderer of his people, and it remains with him to save the country from dis- aster. Even at the eleventh hour he may do so, but only by recognizing that autocracy has gone forever,” It is pointed out that the fate of Rus- sia does not depend upon the people of St. Petersburg alone, but on the masses throughout the country, ang it is con- sidered that the events “of recent months connected with the agitation for constitutional reform sufficiently attest the people’s temper. Some of the special dispatches from St. Petersburg this morning comment upon the unexpectedly determined at- titude displayed by the Russian work- men yesterday as revealing a new phase in the character of the patient masses. Many special correspondents give ex- travagant reports. For instance, the correspondent of the Dally Mail says that 20,000 people from Kolpino were met at the Moscow arch, on the con- fines of St. Petersburg, with six vol- leys and that 1000 fell dead and 1500 wounded. Other correspondents state that the workmen have prodlaimed their intention to attack private prop- erty and that Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk-Mirsky has consented to receive a deputation of workmen to- day. While many estimate the casual- tles at anywhere near 2000 killed and wounded, there is everywhere conclu- sive evidence of the impossibility of yet estimating with any degree of ex- actitude. RIS APPREHENSION IN FRANCE. Feared That French Scenes Will Be Re-enacted in Russia. PARIS, Jan. 22.—The news of the bloody events in St. Petersburg has caused a profound sensation here. The newspapers issued special editions throughout the evening, giving the dramatic details of the street fighting, and these were eagerly read and dis- cussed in the boulevards, at the the- aters and in other public places the tragedy being the one subject of com- ment. The newspaper offices were sur- rounded by crowds awaiting bulletins. Officials here have received advices practically the same as those made public. The general view, including that of officials, is one of the deepest appre- hension that the events of to-day may precipitate in Russia a period of revo- lution such as France has witnessed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—“Russia has neglected the lesson of freedom 8o elo- quently taught by history,” declared Rev. Newel Dwight Hillis of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, in a sermon before his old congregation of Central Church. preached in the Auditorium to-night. “A new statement of our lesson is to be found,” he said, “in connection with that great empire of Europe, which now is disturbed with the preliminary tremblings of a_ social eafghauake. Three hundred yearsago the conditions which prevail in Russia to-day could be found in England. “Later, in France, a noble, when the poor people of Paris asked for bréad. said: ‘Let them eat grass,’ and the next day they butchered him in the streets. To-day we find in Russia a nation where the lives of the lower classes are filled with misery and squalor. In the warm, rich atmosphere of the twentieth century these condi- tions exist. One part of society, ar- rayed against the lower classes, is say- ing ‘We will be blind to the teachings of history,’ and is ignoring the inevit- able consequences which follow the en- slaving of human souls and bodies. A little handful of men own all the land. possess all the titles, hold all the priv- ileges. This is a country of which it can be truly said: ‘The lessons of his- tory have been in vain.’ But. perhaps, even now that lesson is upon us.” — SENATE TO HEAR CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE SWAYNE WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—The United States Senate this week will transform itself into a court of jus- tice to hear the impeachment charges against Judge Charles Swayne of Flor- ida. Official sanction of the House having been given, it is expected that notice of the Senate’s readiness to hear the charges will be conveyed to the House immediately after it con- venes on Monday. The managers of the joint statehood bill are very hopeful of securing an agreement to vote on that measure before the close of the week. Unless legislation for Government rate-making affecting the railroads shall be injected into the House next week, the principal work will be de- voted to the annual appropriation bills. —_———— ANARCHISTIC - OUTBREAK AT FUNERAL OF MICHEL PARIS, Jan. 22.—The funeral of Louise Michel, the revolutionary agi- tator, at Levollis Perret to-day was the occasion of a large anagchistic demonstration. The streets, however, were heavily guarded by the military and police and there was no serious disturbance. N MAYNE - SANTA FE - RAILROAD Government Will Be -Given Evidence by the Commerce Board Showing a Willful Violation of Elkins Law SECRETARY MORTON MAY BE INVOLVED Rebates Said to Hdve Been the Practice When He Held the Position of Executive Officer of the System LR Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—"“This com- mission will beyond anhy doubt report to the Attorney General next week that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail- road has been guilty of what appears to be a willful violation ¢f the Elkins law. This report will be accompanied by a draft of the evidence taken by the commission and in view of this action, I do not see how the Department of Justice can refrain from instituting prosecutions against the railroad.” This statement was made to-day by a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The prosecution of the Santa Fe Ralilroad by the Government will be most embarrassing to Secretary of the Navy Morton, who was executive officer of that corporation during the tfme when the alleged rebates were glven. “The commission has ended its in- vestigation of this matter,” said the commissioner, “and is now engaged in preparing a statement for the Attorney General. This will be ready for trans- mittal next week. Our last hearing was on December 29, but President Ripley of the Santa Fe asked for a subsequent hearing, and the case was held open until January 16. A few days before that date he canceled his request. ““The fact that a member of the Cabi- net may become involved makes no difference to the commission. While I have not talked with the President, 1 feel sure that he would not care to interfere one way or the other. The punishment cannot be less than a fine of $1000 nor more than $20,000 for each offense. If each shipment in which a rebate was allowed constitutes a sep- arate offense, tig total fine to which the Santa Fe Is Tiable will run up into hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Attorney General Moogdy may differ from the members of the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding the findings after a review of the testi- mony. e DRUNKEN BRAWL ENDS IN DEATH Giuseppe Brgardo Is Shot Down on Powell Street by Mob of Enraged Pursuers PSR S A A drunken brawl in the barber shop of Pietro Rais, Francisco and Mason streets, shortly after midnight this morning, ‘ended only after Giuseppe Brogardo, an Italian fisherman, was shot to death by the bullets from sev- eral of the men who were mixed up in the free fight. Wentz Brossini, Antoni Lapoli and the proprietor of the shop were arrested by the police and held pending an investigation. Brogardo, in company with a large party of friends, had been in the barber shop drinking heavily all day. A row started at nlidnight and the party re- paired to the street to fight it out. Sev- eral attacked Brogardo, according to the stories of eye-witnesses, and he drew a revolver to protect - himself, firing two shots. At the same time several others of the party also drew weapons and opened fire on the fisherman. He fled down Powell street, but at the corner of Vandewater street fell. His pur- suers kept on, firing as they ran, and the wounded man picked himself up and ran along Vandewater street to Mason, turning into the latter street. By this time his pursuers were close upon him and he had gone but a few yards when he fell dead, pierced in the back by two more bullets. His pur- suers immediately fled. Policeman Fennell, attracted by the shooting, hastened to the scene and soon after arrested Brossini. The> latter threw +| said Mrs, away a revolver containing five empty chambers. The proprietor of the shop and La- poli were caught soon after by Fennell. They say they know nothing about the shooting, but the police think they are aware of who fired the fatal shots. and will be held till the mystery has been solved. The dead man was known as “Joe the Fisherman,” and was a prominent fig- ure for years; along the water front. “Lapoll is a wrestler of some note and popular in the Itallan colony. Detec- tives Braig and Thomas Gibson have been detailed on the case and several arrests will follow to-day. ——— i MISTAKES BOY FOR COUGER AND FIRES FATAL SHOT Idaho Sportsman Fires at Moving Bushes and Kills a Youth- ful Hunter.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.°-Thét John Hock, accused by Mrs. Emelle Fischer Hock of poisoning her sister two days before marrying herself, was janitor of the old “Holmes Castle,” in whick so many women were murdered, and that he has profited so well by the training of his employer, H. H. Holmes, who was hanged in Philadelphia, that he has already murdered ten women, is the belief of the police after to-day's de- velopments. s The last link in the chain of evi- dence, that is being welded, is a state- ment from Mrs. Anna Hendrickson of Englewood, that she believes she was married to Hock a year ago. Mrs. Hendrickson told the police to-day that a man answering Hock’s description married her in Hammond, Ind., and five weeks later deserted her, taking with him $500, belonging to her. The story-told by Mrs. Hendrickson seemed so important to the police that to-day two detectives accompanied her to the cottage where Mrs. Marie Walcker Hock died. Here a shoe of peculiar formation, worn by Hock ow- ing, it is said, to large bunion on his foot, was found. “The man who mar- ried me under the name of Hendrick- son used to wear just such a shoe,” Hendrickson. The police refuse to reveal the wom- an’s address, but she is being kept in hiding until her story is thoroughly in- vestigated. Captain Madden of the Englewood station has detailed Lieutenant Storen on the case, and it is believed that Hock will be captured in a few hours, as the police are fairly sure of his hiding place. Late to-day another woman ap- Dedred and told the police of having been married to Hock. She is Mrs. Schmidt, who elaims to have béen mar- ried in 1904, and deserted by her hus- band three weeks later. Lieutenant Storen said to-night that he believed fHock to, be the former associate of the notorious Holmes. “I belicve it possible that this man Hock was the janitor of ‘Holmes Castle,’ ” said Lieutenant Storen. “He answers the description of the janitor who disappeared after testifying in be- half of Holmes.- Another thing that makes me believe as I do is that Hock was seen to-day in a barber shop at 703 Sixty-third street. This is the old ‘Holmes Castle’ in which so many women were said to have been mur- dered by Holmes.” ® Police Inspector Shippy said to-day that he is in possession of evidence, which causes him to believe that Hock had murdered at least ten women. 10 WED LOCAL - ~ SOCIETE MAN Mrs. Gertrude D. McCauley of Colorado to Become the Bride of George R. Field o S R Special Dispatch to The Call. COLORADO SPRINGS, Cold., Jan. 22.—A romance, begun in Honolulu last April, will reach a climax in the latter part of this month with the marriage of Mrs. Gertrude D. McCauley of Colo- rado Springs and George R. Field of San Francisco. Mr. Fieid is a well known member of the Bohemian Club, and has been construction engineer with the Risdon Iron Works for elevén years. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Field of Groton, N. Y., and has been prominent in society both in San Fran- cisco and the Eastern metropolis. Mrs. McCauley is the daughter of Charles H. White, a banker and capitalist of this city. She has traveled extensively. She spent her girlhood in Boston, where she received her education. Mrs. McCauley is at the present time in Pleasanton, N. J., where she has been spending the winter and -indulg- ing in her fancy for good horses and golf, but will soon come to this city in time to prepare for the wedding. Mrs. McCauley was: recently granted a divorce for cruelty from Thomas B. McCauley, with whom she- eloped several years ago. They were married The plan is simply to put Santo Domin- 80 on a frugal allowance for its run- ning expenses and to turn the rest of the revenues to the payment of its for- eign debt. European powers are now expected to present their complaints to the United States before they attempt to chastise American republics which. prove dere~ lict in their obligations. Expeditions of warships by European powers for the purpose of scaring these weak re- publics into immediately paying ex- tortionate indemnities for real or slight wrongs will probably no longer be tolerated. Germany has twice tried the patience of the United States by such tactics in Santo Domingo and Haytl. The latter’s finances are not in good shape, but they have mnot reached the tamgle Santo Domingo finds itself in to-day. The = State Department to-day, through Assistant Secretary Ioomis, issued a memorandum concerning the actién taken in Santo Domingo. Loomis -is really the engineer of this bit of diplomacy. He visited Santo Domingo over a year ago to devise some way of curing the worst sore spot in the west- ern hemisphere, which, in a state bor- dering on anarchy, has been a stand- ing menace to the Monroe Doctrine be- cause of the constant irritation pro- vided for the European powers. —_—————— FARMER KILLS HIS SONS AND TAKES HIS OWN LIFE McPHERSON, Kans, Jan. 22.— Charles Tuxhorn, a farmer, living four- teen miles southwest of here, last night killed his two sons, young boys, aged 6 and 10 years, burned his house and barn, with all their contents, and then shot and killed hims T ———— ADVERTISEMENTS.
