Is busy today yrepartng the scaffold on which Charles King, an American from Salt Lake City Utah, will hang tomorrow for one of the most ncndlsh murders ever committed In the northern wltds of Canada. Noarly two years ago Charles King ar rived at Edmonton. He was accompanied bjr an English mining prospector named .snwara Hayward. They said they were going Into the unexplored North to seek for the mineral wealth hidden there, of which so many fabulous tales have been brought down to civilization during the Vast few years. In Edmonton they bought an outfit and left for the North. They camped on the shores of the Lesser Slave Lake. That was the last seen of Hayward alive. Indian cunning was the result of King undoing. An Indian named Slkachese noticed tracks that looked strange to him and he decided to look into the matter, He followed them to the lake and then went to Sergoaat Anderson, of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, and brought the matter to his notice. Kisanls. an other Indian, also noticed the tracks and followed them to the men's camp. Here he saw two men. Several other Indians ale saw the two men in camp. The Indians watched them, and on Sep tomber IS. 190S. the third night of their May. the$' heard a shot in the direction of the camp. .Eager to-know the meaning of It. Kisanls wont to the camp in the rooming, but could see the tracks of only one man leaving the camp, while the oth or was nowhere to be seen. His dlscov ery was at once communicated to the rest of the tribe. King was captured by Ser geant Anderson. AUTO FALLS ON CHAUFFEUR Fatal Wreck of Mysterious Party From Massachusetts. SYRACUSE. N. Y..

A. Interantlonal Convention that he had bbcn for 23 years a Christian. Very proudly he add el that his wife and five children shurad his belief. Tears dimmed many eyes when the distin guished Japanese surgeon told broken ly of the drowning of another child, his 12-yoar-old daughter. Just two days be fore he had been called Into the thick of the recent fighting. He had not urged the question of religion in his family, he said, having trusted It to the guidance of God. His eldest sou had been the flrst to become a convert, isext tne wiie naa noen con verted through the Influence of her son. and all the family had followed In the stops of these two. Struggling to control his omotlon. General Suzuki declared his faith in the Christian belief of the future life. saying of nls little daughter, whom he mourned: "She has gone to our own kingdom." Further evidencing his high conception of the beauty and power of the Christian religion. General Suzuki credited the missionaries of Japan with becoming broader and broader In their views. He said: Thoce who came nrst were too deeply cob cornea about outward apfearaneep. It was t mistake for there to ask at the very outset. "Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you bo to church T for we know now that, when one has really entered the church be will natur ally Klve up the things that are evil. We wast you to send us good men who will convert our heart ana show us the real roeasln? or Christianity.

I cannot say that 1 ara a swd Christian, but I am a Christian. Surgeon-General Suzuki's earnest words electrified the convention. The audience was wild in outbursts of applause. It was probably the first time that cheers had resounded in the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the oldest and largest houses of worship In Detroit. The distinguished Japanese was the last speaker at the afternoon session, but the audience did not turn toward the door when he finished. With one impulse th crowd struggled to get nearer to the unl formed, swarthy foreigner, who stood be hind tne preacher s cesK. surgeon-eon eral Suzuki looked about him perplexed It was necessary for John J. McCook, ot New York, who was presiding, to con duct the besieged speaker through a roar door to the street. It was through Robert E. Galley, th x. M. c. A. secretary at Tlen-Tsln, that the Japanese Surgeon-General was re quested to address today's convention. More than 71.006 railroad men arc paid-Hp members of the railroad de part -of the Y. M. C.

Miss Nathan, daugh ter of Mrs. Louis Nathan, of Baltimore, came here today and requested the police to show her the torso at the woman which was found In a dress-suitcase near the Wlnthrop Yacht Club, on Thursday of last week. She will see the body tomorrow. The coming of Miss Nathan has a pos slWe bearing on the Wlnthrop mystery M2ss Nathan Is a 6lster of Mrs. Maurice Schaplro. who has been missing for nearly three weeks. Mrs. Schapiro Is the wife of a former West End doctor, who has also been missing for some time. In the search for clews that might lead to a so lutlon of the case, the attention of the police was called to the missing doctor and his wife. It was given out that the authorities know the whereabouts of Mrs. Schaplro. and it was understood that such information had been conveyed to Miss Nathan. ' 'Miss Nathan now asserts that she does not know where her sister Is, that the police must have been misinformed, and that she has come to look for her. Miss Nathan will -attempt to Identify the torso tomorrow, but, as there are to marks or blemishes upon it. Identification is doubt ful. Tonight two fishmongers of this city Michael Sullivan and Robert Campbell found a dress-suitcase in the closet of a wharf piling. They grappled for It with boathooks and brought to the surface the upper portion of the case. Their at tempt to recover the other part "was ndt successful. From the part secured, it would appear that the dress-suitcase was com pa rati vely new and of inexpensive quality. The police theory Is that two suitcases were employed In the disposal of the body, but the officers are not in clined to connect' the suitcase found to night with the Wlnthrop tragedy.

FEJERVARY FOR PREMIER rKIrigEmperor nntTJvossuth Both Ex press Desire for Peace in Dual Monarchj- Universal Suf frage Is Proposed. BUDAPEST, Sept. 29. The situation Is becoming clearer, and evidence Is acumu- latlng that both the coalition leaders and the King-Emperor are earnestly endeav oring to find a way out of the difficulty. Statements have been Issued, emanating. It Is understood, directly from the on- tourage of the King-Emperor, denying any intention on tne part or tne crown of wounding Hungarian national suscep tibilities, and an article from the pen ot Francis Kossuth Till appear tomorrow In which the leader of the coalition will state that he and his associates went to Vienna a week ago with every peaceful intent, but that they were not given an opporunity to demonstrate to the Xing- Emperor that the coalition does not con- temnlato any obstinate opposition to his demands and the Hungarian nation wishes to live at peace with Austria. These are regarded as indications that the negotia tions between the crown and the coalition leaders will be renewed with some hope of success. It Is believed by well-informed persons that Baron Fejervary will be reappointed Premier with the right to carry on the elections on a platform calling for uni versal suffrage, and that by this means a government majority will be secured In the Hungarian Diet. Quiet has been completely restored in the city. There was no sign of disorder tonight. The leaders and the King-Emperor real ize that some way out of the present sit uation must be reached at an early date. as otherwise the economic condition of Hungary will become so bad that serious disturbances cannot be avoided. If indeed a real revolution does not break out- A much more optimistic feeling prevails to night, especially over the fact that pub lic excitement has been almost completely abated. MORE UPROAR IX REICHSRATII Galleries Are Clearctl and Premier Makes Conciliatory Speech. VIENNA. SepL 29. There was a stormy meeting today of the lower house of the Relchsrath, which Is discussing tne .gov ernment's declaration of policy, the peo ple In the galleries taking part In the uproar. Eventually tne session, was sus pended until the galleries were, cieareo. The Premier explained his declaration regarding the revision of the laws of 1S67. He said the revision could only relate to the treatment of the Joint affairs of the two halves of the monarchy, which from time to time must be rogulated according to analogous expression. The Premier ex pressed the conviction that a new form of co-existence betweon the two halves of the monarchy would eventually bo fnimri nn thr. condition that both coun tries should retain the rights guaranteed by the laws and full liberty of decision He did not doubt that the legitimate rights guaranteed by the laws and full liberty of decision. He did not doubt that the legitimate rights of the two halves of the monarchy would be safe guarded In such a manner that not only the two states but also the monarchy as a whole would benefit. During the session there were frequont conflicts between the Socialists and anti Semites, which led to disturbances and the clearing of the galleries. , MAY REAPPOINT FEJERVARY Premier Now Comlnc Around to Hungarian Coalition. BUDAPEST. Hungary. Sopt. 2?. The fact that Count Albln Czarlky, PresWent of the Upper House of the Hungarian Diet, has been summoned to an audience of the King-Emperor next Saturday, Is not considered here as Implying that the Count will necessarily be Invited to form a Cabinet. On the contrary, there is a disposition In many quarters to believe that Baron Fejervary may bo reappointed to the Premiership. The latter Is now understood to support the contention that Hungary has the right to establish inde oendont customs In her territory. This has created a favorable Impression. The Nationalist students are demanding the expulsion from the university of all students of Socialistic tendencies. The leaders of the Coalition majority and the newspapers are doing their ut most to calm the political passions and prevent a clash of the factions during street demonstrations, warning the pop ulatlon that the reactionaries would there, by be given a pretext for oppressive ac tlon. Count Apponyl. who Is inclined to the view that a solution of the Hungarian crisis will be found, suggests that the ox-Liberal Premier Koloroan de Srell will be nominated by the King-Emperor to negotiate with the Coalition.

BENGAIiESE BOYCOTT BRITISH Swear Before Their God to Resent Division or Province. CALCUTTA. SepL 29. Fifty thousand Bengalese assembled at the Temple of Kallghat have sworn by the Goddess Kali to boycott British goods as a protest against the partition of the Province of Bengal. The administrative work, of the Province, according to the views of the Home and Indian Governments, had grown to such unwieldy proportions as to necessitate a division of the labor, hence the partition of the province Into two Lieutenant-Governorships. The Bengalese are Intensely resentful at what they characterize an attempt to split the population and Impair their national ity. At scores of meetings throughout Bengal, the people have pledged them selves to support the boycott, which has now received the sanction of the priests. The scene at the Temple of Kallghat. the greatest In Bengal, was striking when the immense assemblage took the oath, "in the holy presence of the Goddess Kali not to use foreign goods, buy articles in foreign shops when available In native shops or employ foreigners on any work that can be done bypur countrymen." The high priest then-placed a mystic ver milion symbol on the forehead of each of those who took the oath. Foreign firms are all feeling seriously the effect of the boycott.

CHICAGO, SepL 29. Testimony in direct opposition to evidence by various West ern railroad ofllclals was given before tne Interstate 'Commerce Commission today by President Ripley, of the Santa Fe Rail road. The Commission is investigating freight rates on livestock and livestock products from Missouri River points to Chicago. President Ripley declares that the rate on dressed beef between Kansas City and Chicago should be 150 per cent higher than the rate on livestock. JThe packing-house business today Is so highly organized and concentrated In so few hands that this fact, together with the keen competition between the rail roads, practically makes It possible for them to dictate rates for dressed beef and packing-house products." said. Mr. Ripley. According to figures submitted by Mr. Ripley, the expense to the Santa Fe road for hauling a car of dressed meat from Kansas City fo Chicago is 5S2.19; packing house products 5S5.03 and livestock ?H.77. Mr. Ripley claimed that his company lost money on every car of dressed beef hauled between Kansas City and Chi cago. " "Strictly speaking and under normal conditions." said Mr. Ripley, "the rate on dressed beef should be 150 per cent higher than on livestock. It actually costs the railroads 40 per cent less to handle cattle than It does to haul dressed beef in refrigerator cars." Hull Captures American Factory. HULL. England. SepL 29.
