The sudden announcement of the de

than did the selection of Mr. McKinley

rtght. however, that Mr. McKinley haa
been a frequent visitor at the White

conferred with the President and Mr.

and worked In complete harmony with

JUDGE RELENTS AT LAST
Invalid Woman of 83 Years Cheered
by Son for Whose Return From

More Than Eleven Months.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. . (Special.)
Convict Abraham Ruet "came, back
from Europe" today to his aged mother.
In view of general public condemna
tion of his order forbidding Ruef the
privilege of visiting his age., parents.
Judge. Lawlor relented this morning
and Issued an order enabling Sheriff
Kggrrs to convey Ruef to tha Plerca
street home, where the. mother, bed
ridden, has waited his "return from
Europe" for these 11 months. She
does not know the truth. To her, her
"boy." as she. has always called htm.
was traveling, recuperating from his
long siege during his trluls. Klghty
three years old, she has lain on ber
bed of pain awaiting his return. It
came this afternoon.
Shortly before 1 o'clock Ruef, his
eyes moist after his first embrace with
his sister on the steps of their home,
passed on through the familiar door
way, up the carpeted stairs, to enter
hia mother's room.
Haef flora Alone to Slolher.
He went in alone. Nona of the fam
ily, not even his aged father, or his
sister, or his niece, went with him.
What passed between Abraham Ruet
and his agd niotner is theirs alone to
know.
For him it may bo his last parting,
for the faith that has sustained tha
01-year-old mother during her heavy
trouble may not support her longer,
now that ho must "go away again to
Kurope." Such Is the fear of her fam
ily. Ruef, stepping from the Union-street
car In company with Under Sheriff

ABDICATION TALK ABATES
Premier Repudiates Promises

OPPONENTS ARE BAFFLED
Many Members of Legations Foresee
Dictatorship, With Weakened
Imperial Power Preserved
Only for Temporary Ends.
PEKIN, Feb. 8. It Is believed here
in many quarters that Premier Yuan
Shi Kal possibly will succeed in saving
the throne.
The Pekln papers no longer mention
abdication or discuss the throne's re
tirement. Certainly Yuan Shi Kal does
not intend to proceed with abdication
unless compelled to do so.
The opinion here Is that the rebels do
not possess power to compel the premier
to act. The readiness of the republic
ans to agree to a permanent armistice
and also their willingness to grant the
court liberal concessions inspires the
belief that they themselves recognize
their Inability to capture Pekln.
Itepnbllrans Sorely Presaed.
Reports received at the capital Indi
cate that the republican predicament is
worse than that In which Premier Yuan
finds himself. Confiscations of property,
forced assessments and brigandage are
causes of discontent throughout the
republican provinces.
Should Yuan Shi Kai accede to the
republican demands, his own authority
wouTU terminate. Ho would be at the
mercy of the republican leaders and the
heretofore loyal army would divide be
tween the republicans ' and Manchus,
with the latter's supporters hostile to
him, believing that he had been treach
erous. But retaining the throne, whose
power has already been delegated to
him, he would be the country's strong
est man.
Adherents' Arts Repudiated.
The imperial premier's proposal of
terms In behalf of the court, including
even a provision for the eunuchs, has
won the court's support and baffled the
opposition of minor Manchu nobles.
Yuan Shi Kal has encouraged his fol
lowers to make promises of abdication
to the rebels and publicly to arrange
plans to this end, but he now repudi
ates them, declaring that the Empress
Dowager authorized him only a week
ago to enter into negotiations for a

RICHEST WOMAN IN
WORLD IS ACCUSED
LAWYER SAYS HETTY GREEN"
TRIED EXTORTION.
William Kit ndnljih Hcarj-t .Ulcere!
Intended Victim Mrs. Green
Makes Strong Denial.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8. (Special.) C.
M. Bovee, attorney for the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, and active In
behalf of William R. Hearst, declared
before Justice Davis in the special term
Supreme Court today that Mrs. Hetty
Green had "attempted extortion" on Mr.
Hearst. Bovee said that when repre
sentatives went to the offices of Mrs.
Green last Monday to pay money due on
a mortgage against property owned by
Hearst on Columbus Circle she
"slammed the door in their faces and
called for the police."
The lawyer explained that Mrs. Green
held a mortgage of $275,000 which had
been due since 1904. and upon which
Hearst has been paying Interest ever
since. He said that Hearst had ob
tained a loan of $470,000 from the Met
ropolitan Life Company on Monday last
and wished to pay off the Green mort
gage with part of It. Mrs. Green re
fused to turn over the satisfaction piece
unless she were paid an additional in
terest of J1145.83, which was not legally
hers. Bovee said.
Mrs. Green later turned over the
mortgage for the amount named by Mr.
Hearst. Mrs. Green is quoted as say
ing: "The charge that I tried to extort
money Is absurd. I simply asked Mr.
Hearst's representatives to wait until
the return of my son. who was han
dling the business and when they re
fused I asked 30 days' interest to which
I believed I was entitled under the
law."
TOWEL HATS ARE LATEST
Turkish Motif in Riots of Color Seen
in Spring Millinery.
CHICAGO. Feb. 8. (Special.) The
National Association of Retail Milliners,
opening its annual convention tonight,
had on display an exhibit of women's
headgear which Indicates that things
Turkish, for both young and old, will
be on call for Spring wear.
A prominent novelty Is the Turkish
towel hat. following in the wake of the
Turkish towel coats and dresses. These
hats are radical in design and comprise
every color in the rainbow in Turkish
combinations.
"Riots in colors and daring designs"
is the prediction for Spring wear, made
by Miss Marie & Harris, president of
the association. "Large hats for all
occasions will be missed among the
fashionables next Spring. As for colors,
for general wear, plain red will ba by
far the most popular."
COTTON KING "COMES BACK
Theodore II. Price Takes Another
Fortune Out of Market.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8. (Special.)
Theodore H. Price has "come back"
and taken another fortune out of the
cotton market. It Is not as big as
the profits he took earlier in his ca
reer, but sufficiently large to demon
strate that the veteran operator has
lost none of the skill which made him
a conspicuous figure in trade a decade
ago.
Trade gossip is that a short time
ago, when the market was fluctuating
between 9 and 8i cents. Price,
through a well-known house, accumu
lated a long line of December, March
and May and July cotton. In the last
week the market has "boomed" on sev
eral occasions and cotton crossed the
10-cent level. On this advance the
firm has been credited with selling
150,000 bales.
ELECTRICITY MOCKS DEATH
Youth and Girl Giveu l"p for Dead
Brought Back to Life. ,
CHICAGO, Feb. 8. (Special.) The
restoration of apparently extinguished
life through the agency of the "pul
motor" was effected today with dra
matic features. The mother and father
of the victims watched the battle be
tween science and nature. Frank Kreut
zer, 19 years old, and his sister Anna.
20 years old, were overcome with il
luminating gas at their home and
brought back to consciousness after a
hard fight by the pulmotor experts of
the Commonwealth Edison Company.
The victims were given up 'for dead,
but physicians and pulmotor operators
were called, and after working for half
an hour the victims began to breathe
again. The mother of the young peo
ple, who thought her children were
dead, fainted when she saw them re
vived. WOMAN URGEDF0R BENCH
Suffragists Ask President to Fill
Supreme Court Vacancy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. President
Taft's meditations on filling the present
vacancy in the Supreme Court were
momentarily disturbed today by a com
munication from the Woman Suffrage
Association of the District of Columbia,
suggesting that a woman be appointed
to the bench.
On the ground that women now are
voting In six states, while three more
states are preparing to adopt woman
