Corner Post NCHARD VENS 10 BE HANCED Chicago Young Man Con- victed of the Fiendish Mur- der of Mrs. Bessie Hollister CHICAGO, March 24.—Richard J; Ivens was today found guilty. of the murder of Mrs. Bessle Hollister and sentenced to | be hanged. But one ballot was taken, | after a little over an hour’s’ consideration | of the evidence. When the clerk of Judge Smith’s court had read the verdict Ivens was apparent- ly the most indifferent person in the courtroom, “Give me a light,”” he said, and he drew a cigar from his pocket. Attorney Foltz immediately asked for a nmew trial. A hearing on this motion probably will take place next Saturday. The murder of Mrs, Hollister occurred on the evening of January 12 last. She was the young wife of a prosperous business man and left her home to sing at the funeral of a friend. Her body was found the following morning near a - carpenter shop owned by Ivens | father. The same day Richard Ivens | admitted the crime. In his confession he said he had dragged the woman into the alley, assaulted her and added her murder ‘to his' crime, strangling her with a copper wire, In court, Ivens declared his mind was a blank concerning the crime and that he did not remember having made a confession. An attempt also was made to establish an alibl. ¢ CHAUFFEUR MURDERS HIS RICH EMPLOYER Man’s Confession Clears Mys- tery Attending Death of Paris Millionaire. Special Cablegram to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyright, 1806, by the New York Herald Publishing’ Company. PARIS, March 24—M. Bedor, the mil- lionaire. leather goods manufacturer, was mysteriously murdered a week ago. The police at first suspected some love affair or revenge as the motive for the crime. The wife, brother, servant and partner of M. Bedor were jn turn suspected and closely questioned, but the mystery only grew deeper. But the fashion in, which M. Bedor's chauffeur, named Mathieu, was throwing money about, aroused sus- picion on last Saturday. An examination of the books showed there should have been several thousand francs in the safe. Mathieu was arrested and confessed his guilt. Concealing himself in the work- shop he had killed M. Bedor with the latter’s own sword cane, which he then wiped and replaced. He took the keys, opened the safe and then replaced the keys in the pocket of the dead man, took the house key from the kitchen and fled. ————————— “Underbilling Inquiry Ends, NEW: YORK, March 24—The Investi- gation of the Interstate Commerce Commission into alleged underbilling and misdescription gf freight by mer- chants shipping out of New York and vicinity was resumed here today. Four witnesses were ‘heard, after which the hearing was adjourned without date. 5 —————————— PIRATES MISS. AICH TREASUAE Details of Capture of Stand- ard Oil Launch by Chinese Thieves Reach Hongkong HONGKONG, March-24.—Details of the capture and looting by Chinese pirates, March 22, near Cantom, of a launch owned by the Standard Oil Company were obtained today, The launch or tug Comet was proceeding to Kong Mun, between Wampoa and Canton, towing a lighter laden with kerosene oil While passing what is known as the “second barrier,” ot second 'line of former obstructions at 6:30 Thursday evening and when in sight of Wampoa Fort;on the Island of Wampoa, one of the many islands lying between Can- ton and the sea, a number of junks manned by pirates closed around the | Comet and her tow. A stinkpot (earth- ‘en jar containing gunpowder, resin and hand grenades) was thrown into her engine-room. The pirates boarded the launch ~and ! her crew ~was overpowered. The pirates then beached the Comet and the lighter, and removed all the valuables from the two vessels, including a number of Win- chester rifies and a thousand rounds of ammunition. The cargo of kerosene was not touched. The pirates, it appears, missed cap- turing much mere. valuable booty. It was the intention of the Standard Oil Company officials to ship $20,000 ‘in specie on the Comet on her last trip, but the shipmeént was: transferred to a freight steamer. The American con- sular officials are investigating the af- fair. Kong Mun, also written Kong Kum and Kong Moon, is a treaty port situated three miles up a creek on the West River, about seventy miles from Canton and eighty-seven miles from Hongkong. —————— COMPROMISE ENDS BIG REBATE SUIT Case of Caledonia Coal Com- pany Against Santa Fe Is Settled. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., March 24—, It was learned today from Gallup that a compromise had been reached .in the rebate suit®of the. Caledonia Coal Com- pany against the Santa Fe Railroad, the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and the American Fuel Company. The case was to have come up next Tuesday and it ‘was believed continued. until - the = next court, when it will be dismissed. The suit was brought against the three defendant companies for $400,000 damages and $50,000 attorney's fees for alleged re- bates in rates to the coal company by the Santa Fe, with the view of discriminating #gainst the Caledonia Comapny and fore- ing the latter out of business. It is understood that by the terms of the compromise the Caledonia was paid 300,000 and $30,000 for attorney’s fees by the rallroad and the two coal companies. For this the Caledonia sells the American Fuel Company, the Otero and Thatcher coal mines, the Caledonia retaining the company’s stores and the coal claim surveys sixteen miles west of Gallup.

PETERSBURG, March 24.—The Council of the Empire, by votd of 49 to 15, has adopted the project to grant a loan of $5,000,000 to landlords that suffered from the agrarian troubles. The loan is repayable in forty years, | but will not bear interest until 1910. The distributien of the money will be conducted by a commission, according to the report of the investigating com- mittee. The draft of a proposed income tax law has been compiled. It is estimated that the tax will bring in $26,500,000. As the second stage of the municipal election proceeds the Democrats are gaining ground, especially in the smaller cities. 2 Six of the men who raided the sav- | ings bank in Sabalkanski Prospect | February 13 were sentenced today. Five of them were condemned to death, and one to twenty years’' imprisonrhént. A delegation representing the Rus- | sians in Poland, the Baltic provinces | and Lithuania appeared before the Em- peror -today and pleaded for separate representation in the Lower House of Parliament, contending that, as they were in the minority, they would not be shown any mercy by the non-Rus- sian population. They, therefore, asked to be allowed to elect two representa- tives from Poland, one from Lithuania and one from each of.the Baltic pro- vinces. The Emperor promised to make | an investigation into the whole ques- | tion. The Russ today printed an exposirs of Chief of Police Grown of Warsaw, charging him with having been sen- tenced to loss of civil rights and to a| year's imprisonment at hard labor for bribery, extortion and oppression. | A great change seems to have come over the spirit of the peasants during the winter. Wherever troubles are re- ported the 'peasants invariably are shown to be resisting the rural guards | and troops sent to restore order. | Striking figures taken from the Postal Department's money order record illustrating the “savings” sent back to Russia from Manchuria during the war were published today in the Russky Invalid.

Ba ~A number of Jews recently requested a Tabbi of 'St. Pétersburg to hold a ser- vice in memory of Lieutenant Schmidt, the leader of the naval mutiny at Se- | bastopol in November last. who was executed on March 19, but he refused, saying the Jewish religion forbade the offering up of prayers for a eriminal. | —_—————————— HOUSE PASSES BILL TO SUPPRESS HAZING One Amendment Tacked on | to the Measure Adopted in the Senate. WASHINGTON, March 24.—Hazing at the Annapolis Naval Academy was dealt with by the House today in the passage of a Senate bill witn a House amend- ment, The action was .taken after a protracted debate,. which placed on rec- ord the impressions of the special com- mittee which investigated the subject recently and a severe criticism of ef- forts to condone hazing by Hepburn of Iowa. Several amendments to the measure were propased, but all were re- Jected save one making it the, duty of cadet officers to report infractions of the rules, as well as other academy authorities. The bill repeals that portion of ex- isting laws which make it compulsory to dismiss midshipmen guilty of hazing in degree and. substitutes punish- ment according to' the nature of the oftense. Cruel and brutal hazing may be punished by dismissal. Previous to the consideration of the hazing bill 265 pension bills ! were passed. | | DR. PTERCE’S- REMEDIES. TR . .

MEETS HIS FATE ON BUSINESS TRIP, Edmond Whiting of Port Huron Makes Miss .. Hazel Rockel of This Cuty His Bride. & FADINCT THOTO % ekl | o PRETTY NATIVE DAUGHTER WHO BECAME THE BRIDE OF A PROMINENT | ASTERN BUSINESS MAN LAST WEEK. HUSBAND AND WIFE HAVE | DEPARTED ON A ROMANTIC WEDDING TOUR THROUGH ALASKA. -» o The culmination of an interesting ro- mance came last Saturday when Samuel Edmond Whiting, a prominent young business man of Port Huron, Mich., and Miss Hazel Rockel, one of California’s prettiest daughters, were joined in wed- lock at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church by the Rev. George White. The church was prettily decorated for the occasion and the impressive ceremony was witnessed by the parents of the bride and many friends of the young people that gathered to wish them a pleasant journey through the new life into which they have entered. It was not long ago when Mr. Whit- ing, who is vice president of the North- western Register Company of Port | Huron and Winnipeg, a large manufac- turer of stationers’ and book dealers’ supplies, came to this city to install Miss Rockel's father as manager of the firm’s, San Francisco branch. He met. Miss Rockel and it was but a short time before he had secured her comnsent to become his wife. It was the intention of the young people to put off their wedding until the fall, but their plans quickly changed when Mr. Whiting was directed to- proceed on business to Skagway ®nd other bustling towns of Alaska. It appealed to both Mr. Whiting and Miss Rockel that a wedding tour through the Land of the Great White Silence would be most romantic, go they agreed to marry at once. A week ago Yesterday the ceremony was performed and last evening Mr. and Mrs. Whiting left for Seattle. There they will catch a steamship for Alaska and for three months they expect to tour the new land of gold. By wire Mr. Whiting’s relatives in the East were informed of his marriage and back came the parental blessing and wishes for the future happiness of himself and his bride. Mr. Whiting’s duties in the north completed, it is his intention to return to Port Huron, there to permanently reside. —e—— HUNGARIAN WOMEN GIVE JEWELS FOR THEIR COUNTRY VIENNA, March 24—These patriotic women love their fatherland better even than the jewels which are tokens of their husbands’ devotion. ‘When a number of Hungarian noble- ‘women assembled at supper at Countess Ludwig Bathyany's splendid mansion last-night their conversation turned to politics. They gave glowing praise to the brave Hungarian officials who de- fied the King, well knowing that thelr opposition meant penury for themselves and their families. Of a sudden, Countess Dessewffy, her heeks aflame with enthusiasm, unfas- tened a magnificent pearl necklace she wore, and laying it on a plate, ex- claimed: “This shall be sold for the fund which the/Coalition party is raising to aid the officials who place country be- fore self.” Immediately every woman in the room tore from herself a valuable ring, a bracelet or a necklace, and threw it on the plate. Other ladies, who joined the party later, were eager to add their ofterings, , fired by the example, very .many Hungarian women sent pieces of jewelry to Countess Bathyany today. The total value of the gifts is enor- mous. A list of them is being made. These women have proved, too, that however much they love their country, they love their husbands none the less. They have given permission to their gallant mates to redeem the Jewels at their full value by paying that value into the fund. So the husbands can again present their gifts to their wives, who will have inscriptions engraved on the setting to recall the interesting scene during which the gems were offered on the altar of patriotism: King-Emperor Francis Joseph or- dered his Embassador to the Vatican to ask the Pope whether the oath taken at the coronation binds the King of a natiop which repudiates the conditions under which the ocath was sworn, The Pope’s answer met the Emperor’s desire —that 'under such circumstances the oath is void. This assertion is made by the Hunga- * rian newspaper Orszag, which often re- ceives information from Count An- drassy. Of course, Francis Joseph's oath as King of Hungary binds him to respect the national constituion, and the plain intimation is that he seeks to become autocrat of Hungary without burdening his copsclence with a false oath. The correspondent questioned mem- bers of the Government on the subject, but they declared themselves ignorant of it. ADVERTISEMENTS. EATEN OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME How a Confirmed Dyspeptic Developed an Appetite Like a Corn Husker’s and Cleaned Out Every- thing in Sight. The wife of a leading 4 ist of Des Molnes tells how het brocher was changed from a dyspeptic without ap- petite to a prodigious eater. “My brother, who-is a lawyer in Chi- cago, came to visit me and I hardly knew him on his arrival he was so thin and run down. I had not seen him for years and was much alarmed at his ap- pearance. He told me not to worry, as he had been in this condition for years as a result of chronic dyspepsia. I asked him what he had done for it, and he sald he had done everything—taken every remedy he had ever heard of and con- sulted doctors without number—none of them helped him. I asked him If he ever took Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and he said he hadn’t and what was more he wouldn't. He had sworn off taking medicine of any kind. “I had my husband bring home a box from the store and I actually made him take one or two of the tablets afjer he had eaten. They made him feel so mmh( better that he offered no further objec tion. He had not taken the one box be- fore he was greatly improved and thres or four boxes cured him of dyspepsia and gave him a wonderful appetite. He came near eating us out of house and home. My, but it did me good to see him eat. He gained fifteen pounds be- fore he returned home, and he writes me that he has net been troubled with dyspepsia since.” Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They re- lleve weak and oOverburdened stomachs of their work of digestive action. Their component parts are _identical A with those of the digestive fluids and secre- tions of the stomach and they simpl take up the grind and carry on the.worl just the same as a Zood, strong, healthy stomach would do it. On this #ccount Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. They themselves digest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment contained in what is eaten and carry out Nature's plans for the sustenance and mainten- ance of the body. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus relieving the stomach of its work, en- able it to recuperate and regain its nor- mal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals and knits the bone of a broken Mmb, which is of course not used during the process of repair. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box. cO:: bex will frequently effect a perfect e. Dr. H. McG. Wilson, Graduate Ot several medical col States and GEON OF CAN.
