LYNCH NG
THE ASSAULTER
Northern Indiana Is Aroused
Over the Murder of Liz
zie Schroeder. . '
BLOODHOUNDS ON TRAIL
Murderer Evidently Had Initials on
Boots, for Letters "T. M." Are
Stamped on Little Girl's Arm.
Green Necktie a Clew.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27. (Special.) Wanton
brutality on the part of the fiend who
terribly mutilated and murdered Lizzie
Schroeder, aged 7 years, of Gary,
Ind., may be the means of bringing him
to Justice. In overcoming the child he
trampled upon her arm and -today the
Initials . M." stand out plainly in
the livid flesh. Apparently the murderer
had the Initials in douole-headed tacks
on the sole of his boots. The same In
itials can be traced through the sand for
many rods.
In the struggle the girl also tore off
his green necktie, or he may have
snatched It off himself with the inten
tion of strangling her. In any event, it
is an important clew. The entire
Northern part of Indiana is aroused and
fully 600 men, with bloodhounds, are en
gaged in the search.
It Is admitted that if the man Is cap
tured by any of the posses not accom
panied by two or three officers, the
wretch will be speedily lynched. Five
men have been arrested, but all but two
have proved satisfactory alibis. The
others, one of whom is a negro, told
conflicting stories and are closely-guarded.
MEXICANS PUT UNDER BAIL
Will Be Tried for Resisting Officer.
Say Charge Trumped Up.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Aug. 27. The
three alleged Mexican revolutionists who
arrived here last week were arraigned
in the Police Court today, charged with,
resisting an officer. The trial of Ricardo
Mason and Llbrado Rivera was set for
September 20 and 27 respectively. They
were held In J1000 ball. Attorneys for
Antonio Villareal, charged with being a
fugitive from El Paso, made a motion
to have his case transferred to the United
States restrict Court. Arguments will
be heard tomorrow. Villareal will be
tried September 26 for resisting an offic
er. Telegrams were received from the
authorities at St. Louis asking that
the three men be held for trial in that
city. They are accused of jumping ball
there in the sum of $2500 each, after hav
ing been indicted by the grand Jury. At
torneys for the men declared this morn
ing that "these are nothing but trumped
up charges to get our clients back into
Mexico, where they are wanted for po
litical offenses on which they cannot be
extradited." -
LIKELY RELEASE VILLAREAL
Mexico Can Only Get Him Through
State Department.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 27.-VIlla-real,
the alleged Mexican revolutionist,
Is being held at Los Angeles awaiting ac
tion of. the immigration authorities. He
has been In the United States more than
three years and cannot be returned to
Mexico except for some specific reason.
Villareal will probably be discharged
from custody unless the Mexican govern
ment requests, through the State Depart
ment, that he be sent to Mexico.
MAGNATE PLAYS LIKE BOY
Ilarriman Enjoys Rollicking Good
Time at Pelican Bay.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 27. E. H.
Harriman and his party concluded their
stay at Pelican Bay Monday, after put
ting in several strenuous days hunting for
bear. The party had A number of guides
and a pack of bear dogs, but no bear
were found. Bear are not as plentiful as
they were a few years ago, and It is a
rare occurrence when one is killed. Mr.
Harriman enjoyed the outing and did not
mind sleeping out at night in a drenching
rain.
Mr. Harriman intimated to Colonel W.
H. Holabird, his host at the Bay, that
this would not be his last visit to this
section, and from reports surmised that
air. iiarriman contemplates the pur
chase of the Pelican Bay propertv.
Mr. Harriman was secluded from the
world while in Klamath. A temporary
leiegrapn line connected him with the
great industrial world from which he was
hiding. those who saw him eniovlnsr
. camp life say he acted like a boy released
from a schoolroom after a hard siege, and
if It had not been for the gray hairs that
adorn his head one would have been un-
able to distinguish as to who was the
greatest boy the railroad magnate or his
young sons, who accompanied him on his
bear hunt.
MOLD 'IN OREGON HOPS
Alarming Reports Received at Sa
. lem Slany Fields Abandoned.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 27. (Special.)
Reports are p.ouring in from all quar
ters that mold is spreading rapidly
through the hopyards of the Valley,
and in fact the entire state, to the ex
tent that scores of yards will be aban
doned altogether and not a single burr
gathered for commercial purposes. This
"new and unexpected dilemma threatens
to reduce the possible crop of the State
of Oregon at least one-half from pre
vious estimates.
T.hls condition, coming on top of the
threatened scarcity of pickers. low
' market and difficulty to secure picking
' money, increases the burden of the
hopgrower, and local dealers are in
clined to view the situation with ap
prehension. One dealer received a re-
port from Woodburn tonight stating
that many of the yards are turning
black with mould, estimating that half
1 of the hops of that district will never
be picked.
It Is also reported here that the
growera of the vicinity of Butteville.
In the northern part of the county, held
a meeting, at which it was decided
that no hops would be picked at all in
view of present market conditions.
This report, however, lacks confirma
tion. ' I
1 Eighty acres of the Kreb Bros.'
Brooks yard, operated by the China
man, George Sun, went down as a re
sult of the recent storm and. although
a force was put to work yesterday to
raise them, some doubt is expressed as
to the success of this action.
There is no sign of an easing up
upon the money question, and many
of the growers will be unable to secure
picking money at all. At least one firm
of dealers is offering to take contracts
with a guarantee of 7 cents, which'
will give the grower a 1-cent margin
of profit over the cost of picking, but
he stands to lose 2 cents in any event
on the cost of cultivation. There Is
a disposition on the part of all grow
ers to strive for a fancy quality of
product, and no moldy hops will be
picked. I
TROLLEY TRACK IS PLACED
Eugene People Will Soon Be Riding

EUGENE, Or.. Aug. 27. (Special.) The
track of the Eugene street railway has

PRITCHARD CLAIMS POWER
Insists Federal Courts May Suspend
Laws of States.
ASHEVILLE, N. C. Aug. 27. The
decision of Federal Judge Pritchard
In the rate case of the Southern Rail
way against the State Corporation
Commissioners and the Attorney-General
of North Carolina, announced to
day, upholds the Jurisdiction of Prltch
ard's court in the issuance of the re-
cent injunctions against the state's of
ficials during the railroad rate contro
versy, and declares the suit Is not one
against the state within the meaning
of the 11th amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
That amendment prohibits Federal
Judicial power from extending to suits
brought against a state by citizens of
another state. Pritchard holds that the
high state Legislature cannot so frame
an enactment as to deprive any citizen
of the right vouchsafed him by the
Federal Constitution, and that the
sooner those questions are definitely
determined the better for all concerned.
The decision says:
"It Is Inconceivable that the United
States Circuit Court should be power
less to afford a remedy to one who
seeks to assert the rights guaranteed
by the Constitution. Those who are
responsible for the adoption of the 11th
amendment never dreamed It could be
used as a means of depriving a citizen
of the substantial rights conferred by
the Federal Government Constitution."
The Court holds that the State Cor
poration Commissioners are still
charged with the duty of making rates,
the only limitation being they shall
not make a rate in excess of 2V4 cents
a mile.
JUDGES FOR HAGUE COUfiT

States delegation announces its willing
ness for all countries on the American
continent, including the United States, to
have four liul&rps of thA new tntArnorinnDi
court appointed for the 21 countries of
mis continent, on tne understanding that
this reduces the number of Judges to 15.
It is understood that the Americans hope
A"sla will be allotted two Judges and Eu
rnDe nine.
The examining committee has com
pleted the first reading of the revised
version of the American permanent tri
bunal proposition. Mr. Choate explained
some doubtful Jurisdictional points. The
Mexican delegation announced that It op
posed the court because it is impossible
to secure equality for all countries in the
appointment of Judges.
Ruy Barboso. of Brazil, made a long
speech in which he protested against
the appointment of judges as pro
jected in the American proposition.
He insisted that this question must be
settled in a manner wnlch fully recog
nized the equality of the powers. The
meeting was then adjourned until
September 2.
POPE PROTECTS CLERGY

clergymen and pilgrims i guaranteed
by the police. Hotelkeepers and
tradesmen fear a disastrous season,
and are complaining.
The police have now been Instructed

WATER IS TOO DEEP
Difficulties of Warships Going
to Puget Sound.
ANCHOR CHAINS ARE SHORT
Few Battleships Can Go There Be
cause Impossible to Anchor.
Evans and Navy Department
Are Preparing Plans.
WASHINGTON-, Aug. 27. Details of
the movement of the great battleship
fleet around the South American conti
nent are being systematically developed
aboard Admiral Evans' i.agshlp, tne Con
necticut, and at the avy Department,
where, by the Presidents orders, the
various bureaus are now authorized to
execute plans for the fleers movement.
It Is settled that the battleships, or at
least a number of them, will go to Puget
Sound, the number to be determined by
the capacity of the Sound to accommo
date them. The battleships carry only
120 fathoms of anchor chain, and most
of the water there Is more than 60 fath
oms deep, so as safe practice requires
that the chains be not less than . three
times the depth of the water, only a fw
vessels can be accommodated near Brem
erton at once. t
At the southern drill grounds. 40 miles
off the Chesapeake, Admiral Evans and
the fleet which sailed from Hampton
Roads yesterday will remain two weeks,
practicing fleet and squadron formations,
following which will be the regular Pall
target practice, occupying possibly a
month.
Why Magellan Way Chosen.
NEW YORK. Aug. 27. Congressman
Roberts, of Massachusetts, who, with
other members of the naval committee. Is
investigating the needs of the Brooklyn
Navy-Yard, said that the trip of the bat
tleships via Magellan is for tactical rea
sons alone. Said he:
"We all believe the Suez route Is eas
ier and cheaper, but their going by a
hard route will determine some of our
needs in the Paciflc, particularly in the
matter of coaling stations and the main
land. I have not the slightest doubt that
a million dollars will be used up In the
Paciflc route, but if the naval tacticians
wish to determine' certain things, now is
the time."
Representative Foss, chairman of the
committee, said the committee would
probably ask Congress to authorize four
more battleships, and added:
"We may as well make up our minds
now that it is necessary to maintain a
large fleet in the Pacific. Our interests
are too great on that coast to do otherwise."
HARD LUCK FOR GYPSIES
Caught Stealing Horses, Horse
whipped ' and Thrown In Jail.
CHICAGO. Aug. 27. (Special.)
Gypsies numbering 60 men, women and
children, who had been arrested in
many counties in Texas for horse-stealing,
were caught stealing 20 head of
cattle In Starr County by a band of
vigilantes, who horsewhipped the men
and drove the whole band across the
border into Mexico. They first forced
them to pay $100 a head for the stolen
cattle.
All were threatened with death If
they returned. Today it was learned
that, failing to pay the Mexican head
tax, they were crowded into a prison.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27. The explo

HAS QUEUE AMPUTATED
Though Court Weeps, Badge of Ori

Ceremony With Strange Mix
ture of Occidental Uniforms.
SEOUL, Aug. 27, via Toklo, Aug. 28.
The coronation of the new Emperor,
Yisekl, this morning was a simple but
impressive ceremony, purely Oriental
with the exception of an lncongrouous
effect caused by the occidental uniforms
of a number of officials participating
The ceremony opened with the appear
ance of His Majesty In the state hall
about 10 o'clock, dressed in full Corean
costume, wearing a crown with pendants
and a robe of deep blue embroidered wtth
gold. In the midst of music by the court
band and the profound obeisance of those
present, congratulatory documents were
presented to His Majesty. This was fol
lowed by the Premier's reading another
speech of felicitation on his accession to
the throne.
More music followed, and after another
deep obeisance of the assemblage His
Majesty retired, but soon reappared,
garbed in an occidental military uniform.
He then received the congratulations of
General Hasegawa and the foreign Con
suls, all of which were read aloud. The
Premier then, stepping forward, called
thrice: "Vive l'Empereur," In which all
present, numbering 300, heartily joined.
Early In the morning both His Majesty
and father had their queues cut off, de
spite the remonstrances of. some of the
court, who protested in tears. The day
was bright and was observed as a gen
eral holiday.

Antwerp Shippers In Death Struggle

ANTWERP. Aug. 27. (Special.)
The shippers have refused to arbitrate
their differences with the striking
dockors. preferring to see the port

sist the demands of the men and to

English trade unions have tele
graphed to the strikers that they will

workmen for Antwerp. The strikers
here are calm, but their wives threaten
foreign dockers, and the civic guard
and troops are ready for trouble.
