Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, June 27.—Dodo, a little $1500 Angora cat with long pedigree, that in the two years of his life had s0 endeared himself to his mistress, Mrs. R. L Capen, and her family, that there is deep mourning in the apartments at 4433 Prairie avenue, was buried with ap- propriate ceremonies this afternoon. Amid a profusion of lilles and white carnations he was laid to rest.in a little grass plat in the rear of the house. Only the family were present, for Dodo's friends were lmited to the family cir- cle. He was an exclusive cat. Only once in his whole life is he known to have had any dealings with an outsider. That was a few weeks ago, when he slipped away one day and came back after a few hours with evidences of having vanquished the entire plebeian cat population of the nelghborhood. to post- | Presi- | the | a pet| {o Oust Shea 2 BALL PLAYERS URCED TO FORM A LABOR UNION | Gompers Proselyting on the Big League Diamonds. | Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, June 27.—If the efforts of | Samuel J. Gompers prove successful ball | players may be called out ‘on strike some time in the near future, in sympathy for | some other trades union, or they may | have grievances of their own that will warrant a strike in their own behalf. | Letters have been received by all players {in the big leagues asking them to be- | come members of the Federation of La- | bor and to organize unions in every city or town that supports a ball team. The movement is not the first one of |its kind, by any means, as labor leaders | have often tried in the past to get the | players into their organizations, but never has any success attended their efforts. | When the ball piayers had their own or- | ganization, a few years ago, | leaders made advances to have them join | the Federation of Labor, but the idea did I not strike the players favorably. ~Now that the players have dropped their own | organization there 1s less probabflity of | the ball tossers organizing.

Special Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, June 27.—Grant G. Gil- lette, widely known as the “Cattle King,” who fled from Kansas in No- vember, 1896, after having ralsed money by mortgaging thousands of cat- tle helonging to others but of which he had charge, came to Denver three days ago. Keeping his arrival secret, he located three Denver creditors and paid them every cent due them. The Denver creditors were Mrs. Alvin C. Dake, 1045 Logan avenue, und Edgar A. Keeler, 238 West Second avenue. Mrs. Dake and Keeler received $150,- 000. Eoth were caught in the crash whnen Gillette left Woodbine, Kans., eight years ago, and neither expected to realize a cent. During the eight years he was in hiding in Mexico Gillette made a for- tune. It is reported that from gold, sil- KAISER WILL NOT YIELD A POINT TO FRANCE.

Insists Upon Interna- tional Moroccan Conference. PARIS MAY ACCEPT Special Dispatch to The Call PARIS, June 2I.—Germany’'s reply to| the French note on the subject of Mo- | rocco was presented during a confer-| ence between Prince Radolin, the Ger-! man Embassador, at the Foreign Office to-day. While most | friendly in form and entirely lacking a | peremptory tone, Germany's response | none the less maintains the position that | the Moroccan question must be regu- lated by a conference of the powers, without any agreement in advance limit- ing the scope of such conference. This was accompanied by the presentation of Germany's general point of view in such an amicable spirit as to disarm the | suspicion entertained concerning Ger- many's ulterior motives. ‘} Prince Radolin remained after the pres- | entation of the note for a lengthy con- | versation, in which Germany’s desire for | ver and lead ruines in the Parral dis- trict, State of Chihvahua, he has clear- ed 00,000. 1t is certain that Gil- lette hag made a sum sufficient to pay all his debts.

Hall, general agent for Colorado of the Santa Fe sys- tem, has started a movement for the or- ganization of a soclety toybe composed exclusively of men who once were mes- senger boys. A list of those who will be eligible to membership and who will be asked to join if the organization is completed reveals the names of many notables. Among the men of affalrs of to-day, who began life as messenger boys, are Andrew Carnegle; Sir Willlam Van Horn, president of the Canadian Pacific; Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chi- cago and Northwestern; W. A. Gardner, general manager of the Chicago and Northwestern; Colonel Robert C. Clowry, president of the Western Union Tele- graph Company; T. P. Cook, general su- perintendent of the Western Union Tele- graph Company at Chicago; Albert J. Earling, president of the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul; Henry R. Wil- liams, general manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul; W. C. Brown, vice president of the New York Central and the Lake Shore and Michigan South- ern, and Benjamin L. Winchell, president of the Rock Island system. Hall and several men prominent in Den- ver railway circles started as messenger boys. W. C. Black, local superintendent of the Postal Tclegraph Company, was once a messenger boy for the Western Union Company; Belvidere Brooks, gen- eral superintendent of the Western Union in New York City, well-knpown in Den- ver, was another. —————— WORDS OF GERMAN STATESMAN RESULT IN IMPRISONMENT Member of Relchstag Gets Three Months for Scoring Actions of Soldiers in China, > BERLIN, June 27.—Herr Kunert, a Social-Democratic member of the Relchstag, was sentenced at Halle to- day to three months’ imprisonment for having insulted members of the German expedition sent to China in 1900 by say- ing in a campaign speech: “Our soldiers in that desolated land plundered and abused women.” A number of former soldiers of the exXpedition were present and gave cor- | influence in Parsia as compensation for roborative testimony in detail. —————————— Kubelik to Play in America. LONDON, June 27.—Jan Kubilik, the ‘“There was no competition in either price, the time of delivery or any of the | other elements of the proposals.” § ¥ violinist, has signed.a contract for a season of 100 concerts in the United States, beginning December 1. an amicable adjustment of the dlmcully<‘ was further expressed. | It is thought that Premier Rouvier will be prepared to terminate the controversy either by accepting the conference or| submitting counter proposals. However, | He informed Prince Radolin that no de- ‘eision would be taken until the German note were submitted to the council of ministers at the next regular meeting, which will take place on Friday; so final determination remains in abeyance. It is the general expectation that an agree- ment will be reached on the basis of a conference. 1 FRANCE LIKELY TO YIELD. Tension in official quarters has notably | diminished, and this is explainable only‘ on the theory that a conference will be accepted, as Germany's response does not make any notable concession. However, the agreeable tone adopted by Germany and the entire absence of menace appear to create the most favorable impression. This is a most fortunate turn of affairs, for, while France sincerely seeks to avoid a rupture, anything offensive to the na- tional pride might have inflamed public opinion beyond the point of control. Reports from foreign capitals to the effect that France recognizes Germany's the renunciation of the country’s claim in Morocco have somewhat annoyed French officials, who, in strenuous terms, authoritatively deny any such under- standing, saying: “France is negotiating with Germany about Morocco and Morocco only. Ru- mors relative to Persia or elsewhere are purely inventions and of a nature to create trouble between the powers, par- ticularly with Russia. A positive denial of these rumors can be given.” PERSIAN RAILROAD PROJECTS. In German quarters also it is said that Persia has not figured in any way in the note. Germans view the Persian rumor as a diplomatic ruse to excite Russia against Germany. However, diplomats are inclined to believe that Persia would be a good basis for compromise, as France possesses considerable interests there, whereas Germany seeks to strengthen her hold on the Bagdad rail- road, thus giving her communication with the Persian Gulf, rivaling the British route to the Orlent by way of Suez. The prospects of such a compromise were much discussed by the diplomatists at- tending the reception at the British Em- bassy last night. G The Shah of Persia happens to be so- journing at Contrexville, where numerous influences are in operation to induce him to take a triendly view of various foreign railroad projects. —_—— REPORT OF NEW ALLIANCE. France Alleged to Have Joimed With nd and Japam. NEW YORK, June 28.—The Journal has the following from London: From an official source, which on several pre- vious occasions has proved of the most reliable character, I learn that France has now been drawn by England into the latter's alliance with Japan. Con- firmation is given to the news of the creation‘of this new triple alliance by the extraordinary action of the French Government, not yet generally known, !in sending orders recalling all its bat-l tleships and first-and second class cruisers, that is to say a force of some sixteen men-of-war, from the Far East, leaving merely & number of smaller | vessels for purcly coast defense pur-!| poses and for the suppression of na- tive piracy on the Indo-Chinese coast. It is natural that tue fact should be kept as secret as passible, since as long as the war between Russia and Japan is in progress it would clearly be im- politic for France to conclude an alli- ance against her former Russian friends. But the conflict has almost reached its conclusion, and France, be- ing no longer able to rely on Russia, is naturally compelled to look for other allies in view of the possibility or even probability of a struggle with Ger- many. It is understood that Emperor Wil- liam has some knowledge of this un- Continued on Page 3, Column 4. and Premier Rouvier; | EVERLASTING LIFE_ B0 EASLY WON Proper Diet the Thing, Says Professor Matthews. Special Dispatch to The Call CHICAGO, June 27.—The possibility of everlasting life lies in the diet, accord- ing to Professor Albert P. Matthews of the University of Chicago. In an article on “What Is Death?’ in the July num- ber of The World To-Day, the professor argues that, by the institution of a new system of dietetics now being formulated, mortality for body and soul will be ef- fected. Says Professor Matthews: “What happens in the body at death? mo- ally for years. The moment which is or- dinarily ascribed to death is when the breathing stops, But this is purely trary and a survival of the old belief life was drawn in with breath and soul passed out in breath.” DUCHESS OF NORFOLK BECOMES A MOTHER Daughter Born to House of Premier Duke of England. I.O&DON. June 27.—The Duchess of Norfolk gave birth to a daughter to- night. This !s an interesting event in the light of the succession to the pre- mier dukedom of the kingdom. to which Lord Edmond Talbot, brether of the Duke, is still heir presumptive. The Duke of Norfolk was married on February 14, 1904, to Gwendolen Mary Constable Maxwell, eldest daughter of Lord Herrles. ———————— .
