There has been no pillage, but the destruction of disreputable houses con- ducted by Jews has been complete.

One re port is to the effect that the respectable | Jews, tired of hearing the members of race called keepers of disorderly , thieves and usurers and other op- probious names, resolved, as the police were receiving bribes for protecting dis- reputable houses and persons, to take the law into their own hands. Another report has it that Jewish roughs in the guise of members of the Bund were levying blackmail upon shop- keepers, thus cnraging the Socialists.

The mob in the streets left open spaces for the falling articles, and then completed the work of destruction.

Jutte, a merchant of Pittsburg, who accumulat- ed a fortune of $15,000,000 in the coal business, only to lose nearly every dol- lar in the last three years, beginning with $1,000,000 dropped in Amalga- mated Copper in 1902, sent a bullet through his heart in the Hotel Dennis at midnight on Wednesday. Two- or three years ago, while at Haddon Hall in this city, he tried to end his life by shooting, but the bullet merely made a scalp wound. Broken not only in fortune, but in mind and body and with the example before him of two members of his family who had killed themselves, he determined to make another effort to rid himselt of this life, with all its disappointments. He bought & heavier revolver than the one he used before and took it with him to bed. Under the bed clothing he fired the shot, the sound of which was smothered, so that not even his male nurse, who slept in an adjoining room, was awakened, nor were any of the patrons of the hotel aroused. Jutte came here in the middle of last month and the nurse he then had re- signed later because, it is belleved, of the strain imposed upon him in pre- venting his patient from killing him- self, PAWNS RING TO WAGER ON JENNINGS’ DAINTY Lillian Russell’s Inaccuracy of “Dope” Costs Her $2000.

SAN RAFAEL, May 2.—~The bodies of the viciims of the tragedy near Mount View, Ross Station, are still at the San Rafael Morgue. Coroner Sawyer has re- ceived word from both the relatives of Edwin B. Stephens and Mrs. Phosa P. Stephens. Jesse Pond of Morgan Hill, a friend of the dead woman's father. arrived to- night. He had not seen Mrs. Stephens | since she was married, fourteen years | ago. Pond says that Mrs. Stephens’ father, T. J. Porter, was formerly a col- | lege professor at the lowa State Univer- sity, but that he resigned his position a few years ago and bought a farm near Wilmington, Ohfo. Pond had never met the woman’'s husband. In response to a telegram sent to Ste- phens’ father, Isaac Stephens of Detroit, Mich., Coroner Sawyer received the fol- lowing telegram: verwhelmed with sorrow. My son at Denver will be there immediately.™ George Bell, a brothe: -law of the dead woman, sent the foilowing: “Telegram received. Hold and preparé the remains of the Stephens family for simple burifal. Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Ste- ms’ brother will arriye at San Rafael iday evening.” The schoolmates of Josephine, the elde est of the murdered children, began to arrive at the Morgue early in the morn- ing, bearing armfuls of flowers. Before long Coroner Sawyer had to close the pigce to visitors. The room where the unfortunate family lay was filled with flowers. Jesse Pond, though authorized by Mrs. Stephens’ father to make arrangements for the funeral, will not do anything un- til some representative from the hus- band's family arrives. The inquest will be held on Saturday. The bellef here is that Stephens’ mind and body were weakened by slow starva- tion. It was known fo a few that the family just barely kept alive for several months. Little Josephine unconsclously betrayed the straitened circumstances of the family. The child walked every day from her home to school in San Rafael, a distance of three miles, and she did the family shopping. Her daily purchase at the butcher shop was 10 cents’ worth of “scraps for the chickens.” Now it is certain that those “scraps’ were for the Stephens family. There are many who can ‘tell how they tried to give little things to the family, but Mrs. Stephens looked upon all offers of assistance, how- ever delicately made, as insults. “ Josephine was a favorite with her teacher at the San Rafael grammar school and was regarded as an extremely bright child. Her seat in the school has been draped by her little classmates and covered with flowers. The cottage where the butchery took place is now in charge of Mrs. F. Luts, a neighbor. Just over the cradle where little Phosa, the baby, was murdered by her insane father, was hung the follow- ing quotation: To be glad of life, because i¥ gives you the chance to love and to werk and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfled with yous possessl ons, but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them. Arrangements for the funeral will not be made until the relatives of both the husband and wife are heard from.
