Darrowwho won a verdict of not guilty for William D. Haywood in his trial for the alleged murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg. of Idaho, has been dismissed from the service of the West ern Federation of Miners and therefore will not appear as counsel for the de fense in the case of George A.

Hawkins, one of the shrewdest criminal lawyers in the Rocky Mountain region.

The cause for the non-employment of Mr. Darrow has not been allowed to leak out. KILLS WITH INDIFFERENCE Familiarity Breeds Contempt In Mind of Unlucky Engineer. CHICAGO, Aug. 6. George A. Abbott, engineer of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, on Sunday ran over and killed three men near Chicago, bringing his list of victims up to near ly 40 men, women and children.

"From a haunted, nerve-wrecked man," he said, "I seem to have become a part of the engine I drive. I prob ably have been the most unfortunate railroad man In the country. I cannot remember the exact number of persons that have been killed by the engines I have driven, but I should place the number between 35 and 40. "I have driven my engine into groups' of men and killed five at a time. I have seen a woman hurled as high as over the telegraph wire at the side of the track, from the front of my engine, and have seen men rolled along the ties by the tender 100 feet. I have had so many harrowing experiences that I have become so Inured to the sight of a face distorted in death staring at me from the wheels of my engine that I believe I am unaffected." ONLY FULL OF ENTHUSIASM Canadian Annexation of Isle Royale Mere Hoax. SUPERIOR. Wis., Aug. 6. Officers of the Canadian passenger boat Huronic, which arrived in port last night from Port Arthur, say the reported "Invas ion" of Isle Royale by Captain Young, of Port Arthur, is nothing more than a canard. Purser James Brown said he believed the foundation for the. report was a lark of some young Canadian en thusiasts, who went over to the islands in a new launch flying the Union Jack. CHICAGO, Aug. 6. A special to the TrlDune . from Port Arthur, Ontario, says: The British flag is not flying over Isle Royale yet. Captain S. C. Young, the Canadian officer who sailed from this port to raise the British flag over the Island in Lake Superior, returned yes terday. It is not believed Captain Young and his half dozen filibusters ever reached Isle Royale, although uiey claim that they did. Young says one of his men waved a Union Jack over the land. The United States customs officers treated the mat ter as a joke, and offered entertainment to the visitors. MONEY IN HER NOTORIETY Marguerite Maglll Has Flattering Offer to Go on Stage.

OFFERS BRUTAL LETTER WRITES LETTER TO WOMAN DE NOUNCING HER SON. Lieutenant Trumbo Convicted by Court-Martial, but General Grant Says Sentence Too Mild. WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. A court martial which recently convened at Fort Monroe, Va., today found First Lieutenant George F. A. Trumbo, Twelfth United States Cavalry, not guilty of conduct unbecoming an offi cer and a gentleman, but guilty of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline in writing the following letter to Mrs. Lettle Sims in reference to -her son, an enlisted man, who had served under him: Mrs. Sims, Clarksburg: - Dear Madame: It gives me great pleasure to inform you that your son, Earl Sims, who Is about the most worthless scoundrel I ever saw, is a deserter from the United States Army. I sincerely hope to see him behind the bars for at least two years. Hope this will be a source of condolence to you. I am, very respectfully. GEORGE A. F. TRUMBO, First Lieutenant Twelfth Cavalry, Com manding Troop E.

In approving the sentence of the court. Major-General Grant, commanding the Department of the East, holds that the sentence is entirely inadequate, and that It should have been sufficiently severe to guarantee that he would not be again guilty of "such conduct. ; SAILORS WANT NEW UNIFORM Xavy Committee Considers Entire Change of Costume. NEW YORK, Aug. 6. The jack tars of the United States Nafy have made such a mighty protest against the time-honored headgear and blouse they wear ashore and on dress occasions aboard ship that the Navy Department has appointed a committee to decide1 on changes In the uniform. Captain Hugo Osterhaus, com mander of the battleship Connecticut, Is chairman of this committee. Captain Osterhaus has sent out a statement to the captains of all warships in the North Atlantic squadron and to the commander of every ship in the service, asking for suggestions. The enlisted men are desirous of ob taining coats and visor caps. Many of them want the wide flaring trousers changed into the ordinary pattern. But the chief grievance relates to the blouses and the old-fashioned pancake caps. These caps are said by all seamen to be abso lutely useless on a windy day, as they cannot be kept on the head. They afford no shade to the eyes and seem to exist merely as a relic of the past. The protest over the blouse is consid ered well justified in the Navy. In the first place the seamen object to the wide collar, which blows up around their ears on windy days. They want shorter neck erchiefs and coats but like those of ma rines. Should the sailors' demands be granted, it would be the first time m the history of the American Navy, that sea men have worn coats. New Washington Postmasters. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington.

One-half of a mans body held by the authorities of one state and the other half held by an other state, and each state refusing to give up the half it holds. Is a situation now existing In Mexico, which serves to magnify, some of the incongruities of the laws of that country. Miguel Martinez, a Mexican Central brakeman, went to sleep under one of the cars of his train while it was on a siding at npiruue santo, zacatecas. The train started up and cut him squarely In two at ine oeu. iair or tne body rolled to the side of the track and the other half, becoming entangled in the brake-beam) was carried to Salinas, San Luis Potest The authorities in each state tqok pos session of half the body and each refuses to return the half it has over to the other. No official Investigation can proceed with out the whole corpse as the basis, hence the authorities are at swords' points, and the relatives of the dead man are unable to do anything.
