Both Bumble and Hutton wore arrested. Hut ton's home is in Kansas City.

Rumble braced himself apainft the negro and with a shaky hand fired two shots at the hotel proprietor. Guests rushed into the lobby and found Emery dead, lying across the hotel register, which was spread open on the clerk's desk. One bullet from Rumble's revolver went. wild. The sec ond h3 pierced Emerv's chest just below the heart, causing a '.mow. instantaneous death. A guest poked his head out of the door of his room 2ft feet down the cor ridor from the office Quick as a flash Rumble fired two shots in his direction. The guest retreated to his room and Rumble and Hutton fled down the rear stairway. There they encountered Simon, the porter, who had been attracted by the shots and was just descending the step?. Rumble fired a shot, at Simon that struck th porter in the shoulder, and the two robbers pushed by him and boltpd for the street. The police station is situated immedi ately across the street, from the hotel and officers were on the scene in a minute or two after the first shot rang out.

After the two men were arrested a woman who saw them enter the hotel door and ascend to th office, which is situated on the second floor, told the police she overheard Rumble say to Hutton: "It's money we want If you don't Ftav with me I'll kill you " Rumble axid the negro had been seen about the city in each other's company during the day drinking together.

Nov. 2.. Mayor Schmitz. of San Francisco, passed througn Chi cago today. Requests for a statement regarding the accusations made in the Indictment, returned against him met with a. firm refusal. He insisted that the statement he made in New York after landing contained a.!l he could say until he had time to examine the charges against him and his adminis tration. Mayor Schmitz was accompanied by his wife and sn. one of the greatest and most influen tial churches of this country. "I em confronted with a problem to which I must, give much thought. Be fore I can say to you that I accept your call I must return to my home to consult those to whom I feel I-be-long. who have worked by my side for IS years, and who are a great part of my existence. I shall return to my country within a few days, and in the quiet and rest of my own home I can make up my mind and decide what shall be the course." STAMDS BY CARUSO. Leoncavallo Says the Charges Against Tenor Are False. "It is what you Americans would call bosh, rot and nonsense..' these charges that are made against Signor Caruso in New York." remarked Ruggero Leoncavallo, the great Italian com poser, at the Portland Hotel last night, through his interpreter and private secretary. G. V. Ferrulli. The party arrived on the late tarln from Seattle. Signor Ferrulli had put the question to the eminent maestro in the Italian language after the reporter had ex pressed it in English. "These attacks." he continued, through the interpreter.' "are malicious and absurd, too ridiculous for any Sana man to consider seriously or to discuss with dignity with any intelligent per son. So magnificent an artist, so cul tured a gentleman, so fine a scholar, would never stoop to such depths of in famy and indecency as to commit the immoralities with which he is charged. It was either blackmail or else that woman kvhat is her name? desired some cheap notoriety and she enlisted the aid of a burly and disreputable policeman to gain her end. When the case came to trial stfe didn't even dare show- her face in court. eviderfce enough that she was unjustly accusing Caruso. She did not dare to be ag gressive in the matter, to force the charges. On the other hand. Signor Caruso bore himself with dignity and like a gentleman that he is. all through the muck and mire through which his maligners attempted to drag him. He proved himself far above his traducers in nobility and character." All the time the famous .composer was speaking in his native tongue he was emphasizing his remarks with elo quent shrugs of his massive shoulders, wirh expressive gestures of his hands and convincing fervor in his deep, weli raodulatcd voice, and honest appeal jn his languid eyes. "I have a great deal of personal interest in this matter." the eminent, composer went on. "for I take to myself the credit of making Caruso. I first brought him out at the Teatro Carlo Fetice, at Genoa, in one of my own compositions. 'Boheme,' and I have watched his progress like a father would a child. I wish your good citizens could see Caruso in 'Pagliacci." He is the greatest yes. the greatest, by far of all the artists who have attempted that character. Magnificent is your Eng lish word for it. but we Italians have a stronger word for it than that. "What happened to Caruso in New York mav happen to any man of prominence in the world Bah' this monkey-house scandal, it sickens me!" Chansing the subject, he said that he was enjoying his American tour immense ly, but. that he was homesick and eager to return to his native land next month. He will probably not accept the offer made by Director Henry Conried. of the Metropolian Opera Company, in New York, to direct "Pagliacci" before going abroad. He announced that he was per fectly satisfied with his present arrange ment, with his American ma.nagers. He plans to bring an operatic company of 50 musicians and a number of celebrated Italian vocal artists to this country next year. Portland, he says, is the last city on the present tour, for he is eager to get back to New York and to sail for home. dies if rao Ex-Governor Hunt, of Idaho, Succumbs to Pneumonia. FOUGHT IN PHILIPPINES Overexertion In the Tropics Co tints Against Him in Fight With Disease Forty Bodies in Goldfield Morgue. BOISE. Idaho. Nov. 2S (Special.) A special from Goldfield. Nev.. says: Ex-Governor Frank W. Hunt, of Idaho, died here this morning of pneumonia. He contracted grip at the open-air politi cal meeting of Senator Newlands at Goldfield the last week of October, fol lowed by the open-air political meeting of Governor Sparks at Tonopah He re covered, however, but November 15 he returned from the Combination mine overheated and again caught cold. This developed into pneumonia last Wednes day and he gradually grew weaker. Physicians attending kept the lungs open, but at the crisis a weak heart developed, caused probably by over-exertion in the Philippine Islands. He real ized the end was near and left all to his wife and baby daughter He entered the fight for gold with energy and hope three months ago ajid his investments are very promising. His death makes vivid the fact that here on the desert, with 40. bodies in the morgue tonight, there is another side to the scramble for hidden gold here near Death Valley Gold is here, but death goes with it. One of the saddest events of the funeral was the grief of Jack Davis (Diamondfield). He never met ex Governor Hunt until the ex-Governor came to Nevada. Like Jean Valjean. of Victor Hugo's tale, Jai-k Davis has re deemed himself here. His grief today was pitiful. Hunt served as Governor during 1?01 and having been elected on a fusion ticket He went out with the Idaho volunteers to the Philippines with the rank of Captain. A widow and young child survive him. Ex-Governor Hunt was 43 years old His body will be sent to Boise for burial. H. C. Burch, Hotel Man. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. H. C Burch, proprietor of the Ebbitt House in this city, for many years one of the best-known hotel men in the country, died here today, aged 64 years. He had an acute attack of indigestion last Monday and had been In a critical condition ever since. For more than 30 years Mr. Burch had been actively identified with the hotel business here, and his guests included many notable public men. including Mr. McKinley during the latter's Congres sional career and on the eve of his in auguration as President of the United States. WOULD BE AW AMERICAN English Baptist Minister Delighted bv Call to Xew York. NEW YORK. Nov. ;s. Dr. Charles F. Afced. pastor of the. Pembroke Bap t's' Cnurch. Liverpool. England, who icenMv received a call to become pas tor of the Fifth-Avenue Baptist Church cf this city, in addressing- that con gregation today said: "In asking m to become your pas tor toij have bestowed on me the it 3' est honor I could hope to ever atMin. When you invite me to be come one of you to take up the great work of this great church you give me the opportunity to accomplish the de sirs of my life, to become an Ameri- in citizen, to be an American. I have lovrd this country ever since I have been a child. I have studied Its ways and its people: I have been an American-born on the wrong side. Your call places within my grasp the realiza.t.ion of all my dreams and even more, for you invite me to become the head of CANADIAN TRADE AFFECTED Reason for Raise in Mail Rates on. American Periodicals. WASHINGTON. Nov. 25 The Postofflce Department will be guided by Congres sional legislation in dealing with the Is sue raised by the Canadian Government in abrogating the provision of the postal convention between the two countries re lating to second-class matter, which, ac cording to Canada's notice, will expire May T. 17. The provision permits the transmission through the. mails of periodi cal publications, which include newspa pers, at the rate of one cent a pound. , A joint commission of the Senate and the House, of which Senator Penrose is chairman, has been engaged smoe Octo ber 1 in taking testimony covering the whole subject of second-class mail mat ter and as an outcome of the Inquiry the general expectation is that some legisla tion will be enacted. If no legislation be enacted, then the two Governments will fall back on the International Union post al rates, when the provision in the exist ing treaty expires, unless in the meantime Canada shall come forward with a new proposal for the consideration of this government. The International postal rates on second-class matter is one cent for two ounces. For some time past the Canadian gov ernment, has found fault with the con struction placed on some classes of second-class mail matter fcy this Govern ment, when it. came to the matter of its application for transmission through Ca nadian territory. Probably lflrt different pe riodicals which are transmitted through the United States mails at second-class rates have been denied similar privileges in the Canadian mall service, although some of them were subsequently restored to the privilege. American periodicals have enjoyed a large circulation throughout Canada which, with their attractive advertise ments, it is suggested at the Postofflce Department, have worked pre.iudicia.lly to the .trade interests of the Canadians and to the periodicals published there. Major Mathew Markland. MATSVILLE. - Ky.. Nov. Co. Major Mathew Markland died at the Elks Home here today, aged 6S years. Major Mark land served with distinction as a private in the Civil War. and after many promo tions was placed on the. retired list in 1S91. with rank of Captain, his retirement being based on disability incurred in line of duty. His funeral will occur Tuesday at Arlington Cemetery. ' . Washington, where he will be buried with military honors alongside of his wife, who was a sister of General George A. Crook. DR. CRAPSEY STEPS OUT 'Continued from First Pae- is in God that I consecrate the rest of my life. "Let no one think for a moment that T do not love the Lord Jesus Christ, and would not have served him to the last in this church, which is to me the historic church of the great English-speaking race, if only its men ln authority had let me. All I asked of them was tol erance. But they have refused to extend tolerance to such as T. and I must, with a grief which only my heart knows, ac cept my dismissal from the service of the church." i Judge W. R. Bernard. KANSAS CITT. Nov- 25. Judge William R. Bernard died here today, aged S3 years. In the early days he was a freighter on the Santa Fe trail. Mrs. C. O. Hamil ton, of Pueblo, is a sister and .1. E. Bernard, of Lakeview, Or., is a brother. Mrs. M. E. Mitchell. PANAMA. Nov. 2S. Mrs. M. E Mitch ell, who was prominent in -American cir cles here, died today. SHIP SUBSIDY MAY PASS (Continued from First Page Killed by Companion's Rifle. LOS ANGELES. Nov. 25. Henry Ber ger. 15 years old. the stepson of a rail road employe, of this city, was almost instantly killed today by the accidental discharge of a rifle in the hands of a companion. Henry Bock. The accident occurred 12 miles north of the city." The boys were returning from the day's hunting. Young Berger got out of a buggy to cut a whip from a bush. As he was whittling with his knife the rifle, which lay on the lap of Henry Bock in the vehicle, was accidentally discharged.

Whatever the result, Smoot will probably know before Christmas whether he will go or be allowed to remain. Algeciras Treaty Coming TTp. Under an order made at the last ses sion the Senate December 12 Is to take up for consideration in executive ses sion the Algeciras treaty between va rious powers and Morocco. If the Smoot case has not reached a vote on that day the consideration of the trefty may be postponed, or the day may be divided, part given to Smoot and part to the treaty. When Smoot and the Algeciras treaty are disposed of there is the Isle of Pines treaty awaiting consideration in executive session, but the prospects are that there is sufficient opposition to prevent its ratiflcatiot, at the approach ing session. The Santo Domingo treaty, however, may be ratified. The modus Vivendi entered into be tween the President and the Domini can government, after the Senate failed to ratify this treaty two years ago. caused some resentment among Sena tors, and was partly responsible for the failure of the Senate to ratify. This resentment has subsequently died out, and it is possible that this treaty may be approved by two-thirds of the Senate before the close of the short session. Mulkey Expected to Vote Favorably. The. Republicans will have three new votes this Winter, when Senator Mul key. of - Oregon, takes the seat now filled by Senator Gearin. Senator Du pont. of Delaware, will appear at the opening of the session, filling a va cancy' that existed last session, and Senator Benson will fill the place made vacant by the enforced resignation of Burton, of Kansas. With Mulkey. Du pont. and Benson voting for the treaty it may be possible, by the aid of a few Democratic votes, to get the nec essary two-thirds to ratify the Do minican treaty. This treaty cannot be ratified, how ever, until after Mulkey is sworn in, unless Senator Gearin should pledge himself to support the President. He is not nuw counted among the friends of the treaty. At the close of the last session Sen ator La Follet.t pressed 'nis bill regu lating the hours of railway employes, but was unable to get a vote. He did. however, secure an agreement to take a voU on January 10. and unless that order is set aside this measure will be disposed of. Senator Morgan is determined to renew his fight with William Nelson Cromwell because of the latter's refusal freely to testify regarding Panama Canal matters. Cromwell is again to appear before the committee on December 4, and soon there after Morgan hopes to report the "con tumacy" case to the Senate. If the com mittee sustains Morgan, the Alabama Senator will manage to occupy a num ber of days, if not weeks, in uninterest ing discussion of Cromwell, the canal apd all pertinent subjects. Philippine TariK Bill. The Philippine tariff bill "was pigeon holed in the ' Philippines committee last session through the efforts of Senator Dubois. Senator Lodge, backed by the President and Secretary Taft, will seek by one means or another to get the bill out of committee, for he is confident that if it comes to a vote it will pass. Any effort to have the committee discharged from further consideration of this meas ure, however, is apt to lead to a lively contest and a filibuster may ensue which will put a quietus on this legislation un til the Sixtieth Congress convenes. If the Administration influence can bring it about, however, the bill will be passed. It has already passed the House. When Congress adjourned an Immigra tion bill, passed by both houses, was left in conference committee. The bill materially strengthens the present law and as it passed the Senate provided an educational test for all Immigrants. This was stricken out in the House through the efforts of a few men It is reported that the President in his message may urge the passage of a more stringent bill, and if he does the House will probably accept the educational test and agree to the bill substantially as , it passed the Senate. ' . Light on Coal Land Frauds. Not the least interesting feature of the coming session will be the reports made to Congress by the Interstate ' Commerce Commission,, in response to instructions given at the last session. Considerable data on the manner in which trunk lines owning coal mines have crippled indi vidual coal operators is expected in re sponse to the Tillman-Gi4espie resolution; much light on the coal land frauds al leged to have been perpetrated by the Union Pacific Railroad is looked for: data on railroad control of grain elevators is about, due and discrimination in elevator charges will also be exposed. None of this information is likely to bring about legislation this session, but will probably result in something at the opening Bession of the Sixtieth congress, when the information of the Interstate Commerce Commission is more complete and the weak points of the new rate law have been discovered. The commission's reports this Winter will all be more or less preliminary in character, and none of them will be complete.. The last naval appropriation bill au thorized the Navy Department to pre pare plans " for the biggest battleship afloat, and there surely will be consider able discussion of the battleship ques tion this session. The Dreadnaught that recently went into commission in the British navy will be the subject of much comment, as will the advances, made by the Japanese, and the prospects are that one or more ships along the lines laid down by the Navy department will be authorized at a cost of about $6,0no.ono each. The fact that the President advocates a larger Navy will go a long ways to wards securing these appropriations. Question of Japanese Immigration. Many forms of bills will b9 Introduced bearing on the Japanese immigration question, and while talk will be abundant, it is not probable that any legislation will be enacted. There will be a diversity of opinion as to how the Japanese prob lem should be handled. Already the East has shown a manifest disapproval of the attitude shown to wards the Japanese by the people of the Pacific Coast, and if this sentiment is reflected in Congress the West will not be strong enough to force through any kind of anti-Japanese legislation. The subject will be talked over and one or more bills may be reported from com mittees. Had President Gompers been able to defeat any of the Congressmen whom he assailed In the recent , elec tions, the Gompers anti-injunction bill might be seriously considered this Win ter, but Gompers proved such a colossal failure that his demands this session will be unheeded. Moreover, the action of the President in insisting upon a rigid enforcement of the eight-hour law makes unnecessary the passage of any of the eight-hour bills now pend ing. So far as labor legislation is con cerned, there is likely to be nothing dose. Currency Reform Measures. Financial legislation will be suggest ed; several currency reform bills will be proposed by the financial specialists of the House and Senate, but they are not likely to get far in the short ses sion. This currency reform is a bis problem, and one that very few men in Congress understand. It is a sub ject that will have to be studied before it is acted upon. That is the principal reason for believing there will be no legislation on this line at the session his Winter. t The consensus of opinion among Senators and Representatives who have so far arrived in Washington seems to be that no tariff legislation should be attempted this session. Three months is not ample time in which to readjust the tariff, even if the majority in Congress is willing to undertake the task. The tariff revisionists are in favor of a special session, to convene immediately after the regular session adjourns next March, but the proba bilities seem to be against any such session. Tariff Revisionist in Minority. While there are a number of ardeit tariff revisionists among the Republi cans in Congress, they are still in the minority, and unless the President should come out good and strong in favor of a readjustment of the Dlngley tariff it is not possible that Congress would undertake tills great task. There will be tariff talk this session, just as there will be a Japanese discus sion, canal speeches. Cuban discourses, and so on down the line, but there will be no legislation. In the way of local legislation litUa remains on the calendars of either house of Congress, though some new local legislation will, no doubt, be se cured.

Heyburn Will Try Again. This bill was adversely reported last session, but at Senator Heyburn's re quest the report was withheld that ha might have another hearing before the committee. He never asked for that hearing, but since the President has created a number of new reserves in Heyburn's state, and particularly the reserve that extends up to Heyburn's back gate, it is to be expected that ne will renew his attack. Of course, he win not get anywhere with it. for the Senate is not with him. and even if the Senate did side with the Senator and against the President, the House would overwhelmingly turn down unfriendly legislation on the for est reserve question.

MURDER FOLLOWS INSULT San Francisco Touth Slashed by an CntniTOti Assailant. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 25. For re senting an insult to the young lady who accompanied him. James Krill. 22 years old, was fatally stabbed tonight by an unknown man in front of the Novelty Theater at O'Farrell and Stein er streets. As Krill. accompanied by Miss Evelyn Sander, aged IS. and the latter's 6ister Rita. 16 years of age. entered the the ater, an unknown man. said to be an Italian, insulted the eldest girl. Krill sharply resented it. and demanded an apology. The unknown, man followed Krill and the girls into the theater, where the altercation was renewed. Both repaired outside to the sidewalk in1 front of the theater to settle it. leaving the girls in the theater. The alleged insulter drew a knife, slashed Krill several times in the face and then stabbed him in the chest, cut ting a gash 14 inches long and expos ing the right lung.
