WHEN MOODY STEPS OUT Bonaparte Will Continue Trust Pros ecutions When Well Begun. Henry White May Go to St. Petersburg. WASHINGTON. July 30. (Special.) Rumors current some time ago that George von 1a Meyer. Ambassador to Russia, would quit his post at St. Peters burg and become a member of the Roose velt Cabinet, are now fully confirmed. The latest news from St. Petersburg re garding Mr. Meyer's plans indicate that the Cabinet changes which will make room for him at the President's council table are not far distant. It is probable that Attorney-General Moody would have retired from the Cab inet some time ago to engage in the pri vate practice of law, had not the anti trust suita come to the front so promi nently. Having taken an important part in the work of preparing for the trial of the Standard Oil cases, Mr. Moody wishes to see the prosecution fully under way before relinquishing the portfolio. The suits will be well along before snow flies in the North. Secretary Bonaparte is slated to suc ceed Mr. Moody and Mr. Meyer Is slated to succeed Mr. Bonaparte as head of the Navy Department. There has been a good, deal of speculation as to who will succeed' Mr. Meyer at St. Petersburg. It would not be a surprise If he were fol lowed there by Henry White, who was appointed Ambassador to Rome when Mr. Meyer was transferred to Russia. PADDED COUNTY PAYROLLS Clerk Cooke, of Chicago, Convicted of Defrauding Community. CHICAGO, July 30. (Special.)-John A. Cooke, who was for eight years chief clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, was tonight found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the county. The case has created a sensation In this city. It was shown that many fictitious names had been carried on the rolls1 of the clerk's office and many men were paid large salaries who were not seen about the different courts once a. month. This practice has been going on during the greater part of Cooke's term. An effort was made by the prosecution to drag into the case names of several prom inent local politicians, but little came of this. Cooke was released tonight on $30,000 bonds. : FINES SLUGGING PLAYERS Fulllam Imposes Severe Penalties on Al Concerned In -Fight, NEW YORK, July SO. President Henry C.

WARREX PICKS FAIRBANKS Wyoming Seiiator Declares Indiana Man Will Be Presldent. WASHINGTON, July 30. (Special.) After a brief trip West, Senator Warren, of Wyoming, has returned to this city and prdlcts that Vice-President Fairbanks will win in the Republican race for the Pres idency. Roosevelt, he declares, will not accept another term, Taft and Cannon are out of the running, while Foraker Is a possibility. After asserting his belief that the President meant what, he said when he announced that he would not t again be a candidate, the Senator said: "Furthermore, I believe the people will realize that, notwithstanding the great popularity of the President and their great love and admiration for him, they cannot afford to change their unwritten law of terms. Of course, the President really has had but one full term." In speaking of Mr. Fairbanks, the Sen ator said: "There is nothing on earth against Vice President Fairbanks. He is competent in every way. The question probably will arise between now and the day of the nominating convention whether the coun try will continue in the direction of rad ical legislation and administration, or whether the pendulum will swing back towards a pronouncedly conservative can didate, in the latter case Vice-President Fairbanks would certainly be at the head of the list."

NEGRO CONFESSES MURDER Slayer of Woman and Child Nearly Lynched In Pennsylvania. CANONSBURG, Pa., July SO. Coroner W. H. Slpe and Constable John J. Miller, of Canonsburg, drove into town today with Elmer Dempster, a 19-year-old negro, who had been arrested for the murder of Mrs. Samuel Pearce and two children and the shooting of a third child last evening. Dempster was taken to the Washington County Jail at Washington, Pa. While no bloodstains were found on the prisoner, suspicion first rested on him when it was learned that he was the last person seen about the house before the tragedy. Dempster was a helper on the Pearce farm, and after the departure of Samuel Pearce with his sister. Miss Fanny Pearce, for the Canonsburg rail road station, Dempster Is said to have been at the scene of the tragedy look ing after the stock. He was taken from his bed at 2 o'clock in the morning, and put through a course of sweating which lasted until daylight, when. It is alleged, he made a complete confession. The only things missing from the Pearce home are $12 and the revolver with which Mrs. Pearce and her two chil dren were murdered. Robert Pearce, 8 years old, the only survivor of the tragedy, who was shot through the body, will be brought to the Canonsburg Hos pital In an effort to save his life. According to the story told in his con fession, young Dempster attempted to as sault the 4-year-old daughter, after the departure of Mr. Pearce, but was frus trated by the mother, who went to a bureau to get a revolver to shoot him. The negro says he secured the gun first, and after killing the mother and shooting the children, set fire to the house to hide the crime. WASHINGTON, Pa., July 30. Dempster was safely lodged in jail here at 9 o'clock, but the officers had an exciting trip from Canonsburg, two attempts being made to take the negro from them. Shortly after leaving Canonsburg 20 men boarded the car, and with shouts of "lynch him, kill him," dragged the prisoner and officers out. A fierce struggle followed, but the officers finally drove the mob off at the points of their revolvers. When Washington- was reached nearly 300 people had gathered at the Courthouse, but the crowd was eluded by taking the prisoner through the back way to the jail. The excitement which prevailed upon the arrival of the officers with the pris oner subsided during the night and all danger of a demonstration Is apparently over. Dempster made several confessions dur ing the day. and late tonight made a clean breast of the tragedy, admitting that he killed Mra Parse and the chil dren. In a supplementary confession he cleared up another murder mystery which led to the arrest of two other negroes. The names of the men are Pat terson and Bucher and they are charged with the murder of John Koboda, who was found dead In a clump of bushes along the Wabash railroad tracks in In dependence township on May 1. The men will be brought to the county Jail here tomorrow. PINE ISLANDERS' WRONGS Committee Comes to Tell Them and Ask for Annexation. NEW ORLEANS. July 30.

V STAFF OFFICER IN HIS PAY Major Fischer Accused of Grafting ' on South African Supply Con tracts and Kaiser Orders a Searching Inquiry. BERLIN, July 30. Emperor William has ordered a searching investigation Into the case of Major Fischer, who was at tached to the headquarters staff In Ger man South Africa, and who has been ar rested for accepting bribes from com panies selling war supplies. It appears from details published this morning that Major Fischer had been re ceiving money for years from the firm which has the monopoly of supplying the colonial forces in German Southwestern Africa. This money was given nominally as loans, and, according to press reports, the total of the sums finally reached $25, 000. Major Fischer's salary was 32000 a year. There was no prospect whatever of his ever returning the loans. Inforatlon of the foregoing state of af fairs was given to the authorities by the wife of the head of the firm in question, who is livin- separated from her husband. According to the press reports, the firm charged the government high prices In order to get back the money given to Fischer. The contracts of this firm were attacked during the recent session of the Reichstag, because of the high prices. The government defended them on the ground that the firm In question was the only one' having an adequate organization to supply the troops. MAKE INSPECTION MORE RIGID New German Regulations Regarding Imports of Meat. BERLIN, July 30. The revised reg ulations for the application of the meat-inspection law, recently adopted by the Bundesrath, were published to day, and show a considerable Increase of strengch In the provisions of the law. The regulations provide that, when the important organs have been re moved from a carcass, inspection can be made only by a veterinary expert, instead of the ordinary examiners, and that the meat of such carcasses can only be pronounced fit for food under certain specific condiclons. A much more thorough examination of the lymphatic glands of an animal also is required. These glands from all parts of the carcass must be sub jected to inspection by microscope. The glands, as well as other organs, must remain attached to fresh and prepared meats, so far as Is necessary for trust worthy inspection. The regulations will take effect at once. DEPOSES GRAFT IN HAVANA. Palms Forces City Government to Resign and Will Appoint. HAVANA, July 30. The Mayor of Ha vana and all the Aldermen resigned this evening in anticipation of a request for their resignations by President Palma to morrow. The government has long con templated replacing the entire city gov ernment with new men. The dissatisfac tion with the late Mayor and Aldermen was partly on partisan grounds and partly on account of alleged incompetency and graft. President Palma will utilize the authority he -has over the municipalities to install a Moderate Mayor and a Coun cil composed of 21 Moderate, six Liberal Nationalists and one Liberal. The government originally contemplated a more equal division with the Liberal Nationalists, its late allies, but the wiles of Moderate office-seekers prevailed to the contrary. The Council recently was given a bare majority, by the unseating of sev eral Liberal Nationalists, but Governor Nunez, the leader of that party, managed to have this action overruled by the veto of the Liberal Nationalist Mayor. The government intends to control the municipality until the passage of a bill prescribing definitely its power and duties. The City Clerk and two Aldermen of Havana have been arrested, charged with graft. OKTJ MADE CHIEF OF STAFF Hero of Victories Over Russia Suc ceeds General Kodama. TOKIO, July 30.

New Ritual Adopted Forty Thou sand of An tiered Herd March in Grand Parade. Major Charles E. McDonell, delegate from the Portland lodge of Elks to the National convention at Denver last week, arrived here yesterday by way of San Francisco. R. E. Moody, of Port land, was appointed as a member of the committee on charters In the place of Governor Chamberlain, who was unable to attend the National convention. Major McDonell is enthusiastlo about this year's convention. The parade, the hospitality of the people of Denver and the convention in gen eral was the greatest meeting ever held by the Elks. The principal business transacted by the convention, which met three times during each day, was the adoption of an entirely new ritual and the framing of a new constitution and by-laws. The adoption of the new ritual will affect every lodge in the country. At the convention a year ago a committee of five was appointed to draft a new ritual to be adopted at this year's meet ing. Major McDonell speaks in the highest terms of the newly-adopted ser vices. When read before the convention, the Elks were unanimous for its adop tion. The language is said to be beau tiful, containing many elegant words that are significant of the rites of the lodge. . Nearly 40,004 members took part In the grand parade. The principal thor oughfares were roped and traffic com pletely at a standstill while the pageant was moving. The procession required nearly three hours to pass a given point. The citizens of Denver turned the town over completely to the visiting members. During the week it Is esti mated that something like 43,003 Elks visited the Colorado capital. As a re sult of the convention it has been fig ured out that $2.003.000 was spent in Rheumatism Does not let go of yon when you apply lotions or liniments. It simply loosens its hold for a while.
