PRISONER'S NERVE SUPERB Smiles White Hearing Verdict and Moves No Muscle When Sentence Is Pronounced Troops Drive Back Mob. KARLSRUHE, July 22. Karl Hau, it brilliant young law professor of Washington, D. C was condemned to death this morning after a live days' trial for the murder of his wife's mother. Frau Molitor, a wealthy resi dent of Baden Baden, in that, city Nov ember 6, last. The prisoner heard the verdict with perfect composure and chatted smiling ly with his counsel after the Judges withdrew to fix his sentence. Upon the return of the Judges. Hau arose and, standing erect with folded arms, listened to the sentence without moving a muscle. A moment later he was hur ried away to prison by half a dozen policemen. Mob Shouts for Acquittal. The sentence is unpopular with the street crowds which have been demon strating openly for several days in Haus favor and against the Molitor family. After the adjournment of court for an hour's recess at 8 o'clock- last evening, the women of the Molitor party were compelled to remain in one of the offices of the courthouse be cause it was dangerous to appear in the streets. Their carriage waited for them in the courtyard, and it was sev eral hours before they were able to leave. Meanwhile, enormous crowds had assembled in the streets adjacent to the courthouse. Cordons of police kept the crowds In check for an hour or more, but then lost sight of them, the masses pushing and crushing around the doors with the evident in tention of storming the entrance. There wore many shouts from the crowd of "Hau is not guilty." The voices pene trated to the courtroom. Finally two companies of infantry and a squadron of mounted police ap peared on the scene and drove the rioters before them. The infantry wih fixed bayonets cleared all the streets within three hundred yards of the courthouse. A large number of arrests were made. One old woman was trampled down by the horses and it is reported that several persons were wounded. Make Hero of Murderer. The demonstration in favor of Hau ap pears to be due largely to the same maudlin sentiment which has made a hero out of many another accused of a daring crime. To the unthinking people Hau's daring trip to Baden Baden made him apr lear a hero. Another reason for the demonstrations that have taken place In the last few days appears in the state's attorney's manner of conducting the prosecution and it is further explained by citizens that the Molitors are un popular in Karlsruhe, having lived here until 1S99. The sentencing of Hau does not end the case. Dr. Dietz, his counsel, having in his address practically given notice of an appeal. Wieland. a man employed by the Molitor household at the time of the tragedy, was examined today. Wieland came from Kiel upon seeing reports that the defense was throwing suspicion upon him. Hau stated before WIeland's testi mony was taken that he attached no importance to It, as he had never sus pected him. Wieland told a straightfor ward story of his movements during the critical quarter of an hour and named the several places where he had discharged errands. 1UOTING OCCURS IX SICILY Natives Incensed at Arrest of Offi cial for Embezzlement.

(Noon) The discovery of a plot against the throne resulted in the arrest today of one of the elder statesmen of Corea. together with Pak Yung Ho, who yesterday was appointed Minister of the Imperial Household; Yi Do Chai. Grand Chamberlain of the former Emperor, and four Corean officers. - The Intervention of the former Emperor in affairs today is evidenced by the fact that he prevailed upon his son, the present Emperor, to refuse his signature to a proclamation of the cabinet, the object of which was to calm the people and restore order. Furthermore, the ap pointment of Pak Yung Ho is another evidence of the refusal of the deposed, sovereign to surrender power, and there is reason to believe he is planning to precipitate an outbreak on his own reserve. The Minister of War has reported to Marquis Ito, the Japanese resident gen eral, that he has no control over or com munication with the army. The former Emperor is responsible for four anti-Japanese conspiracies since his abdication. The first conspiracy consisted in ordering the imperial guard to rush the palace upon the night of July 19. The second is found in the defiance of the Minister of War by the Corean army; the third was the attack upon the police at the great bell, which the Japanese have proof to show was led by an army officer, and the fourth consisted in his indirect ma nipulation of the functions of the present Emperor. One Japanese was wounded in the en counter in front of the great bell yes terday. Two villas belonging to deposed "mem bers of the former cabinet were burned last night. The electric plant is now under guard and all night long the Jap anese town was under the vigilance of fire patrols. Police reserves have arrived from Talko. Sensational rumors are current that three cruisers, with ability to land 1000 bluejackets, are making their way to Chemulpo. ALL A SURPRISE TO HAYASHI He Says Japan Will Start Reforms With Emperor's Consent. SEOUL, July 22. Viscount Hayashi, the. Japanese Foreign Minister, de scribes his visit to Seoul as an ex cursion during the government holi days, made for the purpose of com municating to Marquis Ito the demand of public feeling in Japan' for ratifica tion of existing conditions in Corea and also to consult with the Marqute as to what should be done. In" view of the grave state of the present crisis. Viscount Hayashi has consented to say that the abdication of the Emperor occurring simul taneously with his arrival In Seoul, was a surprise and disappointed his plans. Neither Marquis Ito nor Japan had any part in the abdication, but on the contrary, if consulted, they would not have advised it. Regarding the report that he came to Corea on a special mission, Viscount Hayashi ad mitted .that It was true that he came entrusted with his government's pro gramme. Japan's position here was delicate and ita responsibilities were great. An intriguing government was impossible, and the plan to murder all the Cabinet members, which was reported to be a scheme of the former Emperor for his restoration to power with a Cabinet wholly anti-Japanese, was unthinkable. t Regarding possible plans for the future government. Viscount Hayashi said that the Corean throne had noth ing to fear from the Japanese, ' but there must be a competent, organized administration. Japan' programme would be executed only with regard to due forms with the consent of tluj constituted sovereign, and was sub- Ject to modification according to con ditions. It already had modified its plans, and' if the Corean throne es tablished a competent government, Japan would deal with it. At present the Japanese authorities were wholly concerned with the restoration of -order. Until this was accomplished, they were unable to proceed, and hi mis sion must await normal conditions, for the future promotion of the wel fare of the people was his foremost consideration. DID NOT INSTIGATE ARRESTS Ito Disclaims Responsibility For eigners Frightened Away. SEOUL, July 22. The Japanese Residency General places the whole re sponsibility for the arrests made this morning on the throne, disclaiming in tervention which. It is asserted, would be an unnecessary intrusion into af fairs which are purely Corean. On account of the. fact that every Japanese soldier here -is needed to guard the barracks of the Corean troops, guards have been refused to two houses of foreigners in the u burbs, and their occupants, who have been threatened in anonymous com munications, have been given refuge in the foreign quarter of the city. Reinforcements of Japanese troops are not expected until July 24, and it Is impossible now to adequately patrol the whole city so as to prevent the gathering of the mobs which have as sembled during the last two day.- EEOUL HOTBED OF PLOTTING Mother of New Emperor and Her Rival Jealous. TOKIO, July 22. Telegrams from Seoul state that intrigues on an extensive scale are now in progress. It is declared that the palace now is a hotbed of illicit plots and conspiracies. The placing on the throne of the new emperor has aggravat ed the Jealousy between his mother. Princess Ming, and the mother of Prince Ytng, each having a large following. This state of affairs is being taken advan tage of by politicians who are distrustful of one another. . Disaffection Is spreading rapidly and riotings of the people through out the peninsula are apprehended. Japan Considers Her Demands. TOKIO, July 23. The Elder Statesmen held a council today and rt Is believed the Corean question was the subject of their deliberation. It is reported that it will be a week or more yet before the Japanese demands are formulated and in final form presented to the Seoul govern ment. The reply of the new Corean Emperor to the Emperor of Japan's message congratulating- him on his ascension to the throne expresses a sincere hope of a growing friendship between both courts and governments.

Movement to Afect All Kallroads ot Northwest and Nine-Hour Day Is Wanted to Become Ef fective September 1. CHICAGO, July 22. (Special.) A gigantic movement to establish a nine hour workday for union machinists employed by railroads throughout the Northwest, which is expected to in clude blacksmiths and bollermakers and embrace a total of 30,000 men, has been launched. x The plan is being backed principally by the Northwest Consolidated Dis trict of the machinists' union, although the blacksmiths ,and bollermakers, which also have powerful organiza tions, are looked to for active co operation on behalf of their respective rrafts. ' The Northwest Consolidated TMstrlct embraces all railroads north of the Union Pacific lines west of Chi cago. A demand will be .made upon them to make the nine-hour day ef fective September 1. For this pur pose officials of the- machinists' union are now preparing formal notices to be served upon the railroad companies at the beginning of next month, thus giving them 30 days in which to con sider the plan. Among the railroads to be asked to establish the nine-hour day are the Great Northern, Northern Pacific.

Labor Day Parade Abandoned. CHICAGO, July 22. Chicago has seen the last of its Labor Day parades,- at least, for several years to come. The an nual long march through the streets by thousands of unionists, wearing the pic turesque uniforms of their trades, was abandoned yesterday by the Federation of Labor and the Associated Building Trades as being an "Antiquated and lux urious method'1 of displaying labor's strength before the public. With the two leading labor bodies against the project, there is no possibility of a parade this year or next. President John Fitzpatrick, of the Fed eration, advised the unions to save the money which they would expend in buy- All 'Humors Are impure matters which the skin, liver, kidneys and other organs cannot take care of without help.
