KING WILL HANG TODAY
Most Famous of Canadian Murders
to Be Expiated.
PORT SASKATCHEWAN. N. TV. T
Sept. 28. (Special.) Hangman ' Radcllve,
the DomteloM cxocutloner. 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.

report to 6 P. M. :
New cases 2S, total to date 2369; deaths
2, total SS5; new foci 5, cases under treat
ment 25; discharged 2340.
The feeling of uncertainty regarding
the visit of President Roosevelt on ac
count of the yellow 'fever, here still exists
and there Is small apprehension that the
decision of the American Public Health
Association to have a committee communi
cate to the President its sentiments of
opposition to the visit at this time may
cause the. putting out of New Orleans
from the -present trip. It Is promised that
& decision, will be given "finally on Mon
day. The number of new cases reported today
was something of a surprise. In the face
of the, reports of the two previous days,
but 11 s taken as a matter -of course.
Surgeon "White and Dr. Souchon, of the
State Board, are working together with
the view of relieving the country par
ishes' and the city of such restrictive
quarantines as have absolutely shut down
travel. - Dr. Sou chew has sent out a circu
lar lettr to the parish health authorities
suggesting: Ihatas the date of frost, Oc
tober 20, is so near, it will be just as well
to raise the bars bo that the plantations'
may secnre their supplies of labor.
NATCHEZ. Miss., Sept. 29. Two new-
cases and one death, a negro, were re

more malignant form. i

Bruhn. Seattle packers, haved tiled a com-
nlaint with the Interstate Commerce Com

Burlington with discrimination .against
packing-houses In the Pacific JMorthwest.
The complaint of Frye & Bruhn declares
the discrimination to e In favor of .tne
big packers in the Missouri River Valley.
According to the, Seattle packers tne
combine of Missouri River Valley packers
has' forced the railroads to give over com-
petltlve markets to them by the discrim
ination in rates made since January, lmn.
Meat products from the Eastern packing
houses have a decided advantage In freight
rates over livestock shipped here or to
other Northwestern points for use by

takes of Missionaries.
DETROIT, Sept. 29. Intensely dra
matic was the moment today when
Surgeon-General Suzuki, of the Japan
esc navy, fresh from the battles of
the Japan and Yellow Seas, declared
with sincerity before the Railroad Y. M.
C. 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

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

children Jn Xlnpen trying to be faithful to the
right and to God. 1 xnyeetf wan baptized 20
years ago. 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

KEY TO BOSTON MYSTERY
Body Found in Water May Be Bal
tlmore "Woman's.
BOSTON. Sept. 23. 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.

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.

LONDON. SepL 29. The members of th
British mission who spent two and a half
years In marking the boundary between
Persia and Afghanistan. In the Selstan
region, report that they encountered ter
rlble hardships. Fifty of the members

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.

It Is likely that the Jury for the trial

After the decision had been given, the

Trust's Control of Railroads.
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."
