COMMITTEE VISITS PRESIDENT
Wife of the Utahn and His Private
Secretary Attend the Meeting
In Washington, but Leave
Before It Ends.
WASHINGTON, Dec 8. A union of
women's clubs, with hearquarters in
"Washington, "was formed here today to
fight for the expulsion of Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, from the United States
Senate. The formation of the union was
the result of a conference called by Mrs.
Frederick Schoff, of Philadelphia, presi
dent of the National Congress of Mothers.
Half a dozen other National organiza
tions were represented at the meeting.
Mrs. Lucia Blunt was elected president
of the new union, the name of which is
to be the Union of Women's Clubs. Mrs.
Tunis Hamlin, of Washington, D. C, will
act as secretary-treasurer. A call will
Toe sent out to raise 53000 for the purpose
of employing an attorney to assist In
the fight and a pamphlet will be issued.
A committee from the meeting called on
the President. They included Mrs. SchofC,
Mrs. Darwin James, president of the
Inter-Denominational Council of Women;
Mrs. Tunis Hamlin, vice-president of the
Women's Home Missionary Society of the
Presbyterian Church; Mrs. Margaret
Delhi, National superintendent of legisla
tion of the W. C. T. U.; Mrs. "Vandergrift,
of Wilmington, Del.; Mrs. Clement, of
Philadelphia, president of the Women'4
Club of that city; Mrs. Dubois, of Idaho;
Mrs. Price, of Westchester, Pa., and Mrs.
Howard W. IJpplncott, of Philadelphia.
Following the meeting for the organiza
tion of the union, there was a confer
ence at the church, at which Mrs. J. P.
Mumford, of Philadelphia, presided dur
ing the absence of .Mrs. Schoff. Addresses
were made by Dr. J. D. McMillan, of
New York, Dr. Sarah Elliott, Mrs. Dar
win R. James, Mrs. Margaret Dlehl and
Mrs. Tunis Hamlin. Mr. McMillan said
Senator Smoot's expulsion was not de
sired because he was a Mormon, but be
cause he was an apostle In the Mormon
Church and bad taken vows and oaths
which conflicted with those of the United
States. Mrs. Hamlin said the objection
to the retention of his seat by .Senator
Smoot was the union of church and state.
The presence of the private secretary
to Senator Smoot and the secretary's
wife at the meeting caused some com
ment. They left before the meeting had
concluded.
SUBMARINE BOAT ASHORE.
Another Is Drifting Before a Gale, a
Third Is Saved.
CAPD HENRY, Va., Dec 3. The L.lttle
Island Llfesaving Station early today
reported the tug Peoria standing by the
submarine-boat Moccasin, three miles
abreast of the station. The tug had suc
ceeded in getting a line aboard her, but
was unable to make any headway. The
torpedo-boat Adder had Just been sighted
off the island. The Moccasin had small
flags flying at each end.
The Peoria succeeded in getting a line
to one of the torpedo-boats, and headed
toward Norfolk at 4:30 P. M. The Yank
ton, which was sent from Portsmouth, ar
rived upon the scene at about the same
time, and, after making several unsuc
cessful attempts to pick up the other
boat followed in the same direction, leav
ing the torpedo-boat drifting slowly south
ward. The wind is from the northwest
and is blowing at the rate of 36 miles
an hour. There is a heavy sea on. It is
not known here whether the torpedo-boat
was towed into Hampton Roads.
The submarine-boat Pixie, reported as
drifting southward, stranded four miles
south of Curritlck Llfe-Savlng Station at
8 P. M. The life-savers are standing by
ready to lend assistance. The wind con
tinues high and the sea is heavy.
MTJEDEEERS BTJEIED BODIES.
Aged Missing Buffalo Couple Found
Beneath Their Woodshed.
BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec, 3. The decom
posed bodies of Franz Frehr and his wife,
on aged couple, who disappeared from
their home, 339 Jefferson street, Novem
ber 20, were found today buried beneath
a woodshed in the yard back of their
house. They had been murdered. The
skulls of both had. been crushed, and a
hammer, such as would have inflicted the
blows, was found in the shed. Several
hairs were found clinging to the handle
of the hammer.
A search for Charles Bonier, who moved
into the house of the Frehrs on the day
of their disappearance, had begun hours
before the finding of the bodies, but the
hunt was renewed by the entire staff of
headquarters detectives as soon as word
came that the bodies of the old couplo
had been found.
Bonier appeared Tuesday at the Police
Court In response to a summons in a John
Doe proceeding regarding the disappear
once of the Frehrs. The case was ad
journed and Bonier was ordered to appear
In court yesterday, but he did not come.
It was thought then that the suspicion of
foul play grew stronger with the police,
who had believed up to that time that the
old couple had been taken away by rela
tives, who hoped to Inherit their money.
Descriptions of Bonier were sent broad
cast, and this morning Police Superin
tendent Bull received a telephone message
from Erie, Pa., stating that Bonier had
heen arrested there. He Is 65 years old.
Bonler's housekeeper, Louise LIndholm.
is In custody in this city. The police found
on her person gold pieces to the value of
pO. The Frehrs were supposed to have a
great deal of gold in the house. The wo
man says the money wa3 given to her by
Bonier.
Kate Kahm, a relative of Mrs. LInd
holm, was also taken to a police station,
a trunk and some stuff which had be
longed to the Frehrs having been found at
her home. The Frehrs owned another
house and lot besides their home In Jeffer
son street, and had money in the bank.
It was well known in the neighborhood
that they kept large sums of money in
their home.
Mrs. LIndholm, closely questioned by the
police, said Bonier told her the old couple
had sold the house to him, and that they
had gone to a house of refuge to spend the
remainder of their lives. The gold found
upon her she insisted had been given her
by Bonier.
JAPAN DEMASDSAK A2TSWEB,
Russian Reply to Latest Note Re
quested at St. Petersburg.
YOKOHAMA, Dec S. It is reported at
Tokio that the Japanese Minister Kurano
at St. Petersburg twice within the past
10 days had demanded Count Lamsdorff's
reply to the flnal proposals of the Japan
ese Government. Count Lamsdorff pro
posed proceedings to Alexandrov for the
purpose of securing the sanction of the
Czar to the draft of answers drawn by
Viceroy Alexieff and Baron de Rosen,
the Russian Minister to Japan, but had
so far been prevented from so doing ow
ing to the illness of the Czarina.
The Emperor of Japan, it is expected,
will open the Diet December S, when it
Is hoped definite developments in the Far
Eastern situation may avert the impend
ing crisis and allay the domestic pa
tience. N
It Is generally believed throughout
Japan that Russia has deceived the Japan
ese Government in connection with the
negotiations regarding Manchuria and
Corea, and that the object In view was
the gaining of time in which to rein
force heavily both the army and navy in
the Far East. Facing a sentiment of this
kind in the diet, it will take cool heads
to prevent the war spirit joining the
ascendancy and forcing the hand of the
ministry. It is quite generally felt In
Tokio that the Japanese Government has
made fresh demands on Russia, and has
uxged that an immediate answer be sent
What the nature of these proposals are,
Is, of course, a closely guarded secret,
but the'impresslon is that they are such
that the Czar will hardly consider them
favorably. There is great activity among
the higher officials of the Japanese army
and nothing Is being left undone to place
the army in a stato of advanced pre
paredness. With this object In view all leaves of
absence have been revoked and all offi
cers on detached duty have, wherever
practicable returned to their regiments.
In St. Petersburg, also, the feeling that
war is Inevitable Is very strong.
SHOWS BRITAIN IS ANXIOUS.
Purchase of Chilean Warships Great-
ly Strengthens the Navy.
LONDON, Dec 3. Since Great Britain
has purchased the Chilean warships the
recent frequent Cabinet councils are now
explained, and congratulations from all
sides are being extended to the govern
ment, not only in acquiring valuable need
ed additions to the navy, but at the same
time in averting what might have proved
to have been troublesome Incidents had
the battleships been sold to either of the
two powers supposed to bo on the brink
of war.
At the same time, the purchase of the
vessels at the present moment is held to
prove that the British government is
genuinely anxious concerning the position
of affairs In the Far East.
The two battleships are among the
fastest afloat. The Llbertad, on Wednes
day, maintained on satisfactory deep-sea
trials, a speed of 17& knots for 27 hours
continuously, while both vessels are re
markable for their powerful armaments
and their exceptional coal capacity.
The weight of their striking power is
exceeded only by the latest vessels built
for the United States Navy, and their
purchase brings the total of first-class
battleships built or building for the Brit
ish navy up to 48.
It is not unlikely that the Llbertad and
Constitution will be sent to reinforce the
British China squadron, for which they
arc considered as eminently suitable.
JAPAN IS GOING IT ALONE.
Germany Confident She Has -Not
Even Consulted Britain.
BERLIN, Dec i The dispatch of the
Associated Press from Paris, an
nouning that the basis of an agree
ment between Russia and Japan had
been arrived at is the most interesting
topic of today at tne Chancellories. While
expressing the keenest curiosity about
the source of the correspondent's Infor
mation, the officials remain confident that
negotiations will not come to a breach.
The Foreign Office bases Its confidence
in this belief on the strength of the Rus
sian position, relieving her of the necessi
ty of attacking, and on the Improbability
of Japan securing permanent advantages
from war. However, if war does
come, the Foreign Office believes Russia
and Japan will fight alone. It does not
belleye Great Britain and France have un
dertaken to mediate and inclines to think
that Russia and Japan would reject ln
terferpnee even from their allies. Indeed,
the Foreign Office does not think Japan
has lnfonrfed Great Britain regarding the
details of her demands upon Russia, but
preferred arranging matters entirely with
the latter country. Of course friendly
representations by France at St. Peters
burg and by Great Britain at Tokio have
probably been made.
Ultimatum Nearly Sent.
LONDON, Dec 4. The Tokio corre
spondent of the Dally Mail says it is
reported on creditable authority that at
Tuesday's Cabinet council It was actually
proposed to send an ultimatum to Rus
sia, but that thl3 grave step was event
ually abandoned In favor of the milder
course which was ultimately adopted.
The correspondent says the tension is
acute and it is generally felt that a few
days will see Important developments.
DON'T WANT TO JOIN UNION.
Women Harpists Making Trouble for
Director of Grand Opera.
NEW YORK, Dec 3. The sltuatloii at
the Metropolitan Opera-Housa arising out
of the fact that- Madames Taglfava and
Welle, harpists in tho orchestra, are not
members of the Musicians' Mutual Protec
tive Union, becamo critical today when
Madame Welle announced her determina
tion not to become a member of the
union, and a second warning was received
by Concertmaster Nahan Franko from the
union, notifying him to seo that the two
women Join the union before next Mon
day or to abide by the consequences,
probably the ordering of a strike of the
orchestra which furnishes the music for
the present season "of grand opera. Mr.
Franko, when asked what ho would do In
case the orchestra vent on strike, an
swered: "I presume I should have to close the
house unless the public cared to hear
grand opera with piano accompaniment."
The women do not want to join the union
because of an aversion to being classed
as artisans instead of artists.

on the Roll With Comrades.
"WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. Commissioner
of Pensions "Ware has received a letter
from Governor Bliss, of Michigan, volun
tarily relinquishing his pension. In his

and relinquish the pension only becauso
I doubt the propriety of continuing as a

disability was fully determined by two
examinations, ono under Commissioner
Evans and the second under your ad
ministration, each conducted by two doc
tors, tho result being an order placing me
on the rolls at 512 a month. My intention
was to donate this money to the work

His Costly Home and His Wife

Stable of Horses.
ST. LOUIS, Dec 3.-James L. Blair, ex
general counsel of tho Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, was this afternoon indicted by
tho grand jury on a charge of forgery in
tho flrst degree. The indictment is the re
sult of charges filed by James T. Roberts,
an attorney, at one time employed In
Blair's law office. Roberts secured certain
papers and records on which he afterward
based his charges that Blair was Jug
gling tho finances of large estates com
mitted to his trust. Roberts publicly
charged among other things that Blair
I had forged deeds of trust and mortgages
i on which $53,000 was obtained from the es-
I tate of the late Peter Blow, of St. Louis,
and that he counterfeited and used the
notarial seals of the Recorder of Deeds of
St. Louis, and frequently employed "Wal
ter F. Jenkins,"" a puroly fictitious per
sonage, to attest the documents.
Blair characterizes Roberts' accusations
as a "tissue of falsehood, woven around a
few grains of fact." Blair acted as a
sort of fiscal and Investment agent for the
firm of Dick Bros., of Philadelphia and
New York. Evans R. Dick, the head of
the firm, was a co-trustee with Edward
S. Robert In the Blow eetate. The grand
1urv reouested tha Dicks ami thulr nttnp.
I ney to como to St, Louis to testify, but
they ignored tho summons.
A bench-warrant will be given for Blair's
arrest. Ho Is reported to have almost
I fully recovered his health. At one tlmo
it was reported he was on the verge of
Insanity.
Following tho Blair expose. Mrs. Blair,
who was chairman of the Board of Lady
Managers of tho St. Louis Exposition, re
signed her position, and since then the
Blalrs have sold their costly home, and
she has disposed of her jewels and her
fine stable of horses. .
od he does not believe tho system,
lessens the percentage of crime In the
state. Warden Merserve said:
"I find the character of the men at the
post determines the size and character of
the crowd attending. It excites their sym
pathy and they decry against justice and
the laws of the state They are not as
good citizens as before."
He also quoted statistics to show that
Delaware's prison population Is propor
tionately higher than other states.
Troops Quit Scene, of Feud.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec 3. Troop3 ar
rived here today from Jackson, Ky under
orders of withdrawal by Governor Beck
ham, after being on duty there as provost
guards since the feud trouble began last

ing to be from Judge Redwlne to Govern
