an envelope down without opening it

PROBING MOORE MURDER
Polloo Iiellcvo Slayer Was Looking
For Troublo.
San Mateo, Calif., Feb. 2. That
Chauffeur Timothy willingly fought
the pistol duel which resulted In the
death of Millionaire John Moore, last
Sunday, is the theory on which the I
authorities are probing the tragedy.
Timothy has been formally charged
with murder and will be given a pre
liminary hearing Tuosday morning.
It Is understood now that Timothy
had plenty of time to escape from
Moore had he so desired, but he fired
and killed Moore at a distance of
sixty feet.
It haa not as yet been ascertained
whether or not Mrs. Moore was in
the automobile with Timothy at the
time that her husband was encount
ered. She has collapsed and will not
talk about the matter.
STANDARD OIL IS
Will
Lend $250,000,000 if
Powers Recognize
Republic.
Shanghai, Feb. 2. Leaders of the
revolution here today Issued a state
ment to the effect that the new Chi
nese republic will be given $250
000,000 to support the new govern
ment Immediately upon the recogni
tion of the proclaimed republic by
any world power.
According to the rebel chiefs, the
gift will come from a powerful' syn
dicate of Knglish capitalists who are
affiliated with the Standard' Oil com
pany of the United States, who they
claim have ituaranteed this sum, if
the recognition by a recognized pow
erful nation is forthcoming.
In return for this amount of mon
ey, tho financiers expect New China
to grant them a monopoly on the de
velopment of oil and mineral resour
ces of the county, and they are de
mandlng quick action, as Russia and
Japan threaten to Interfere if any fa
vor Is shown American Interests by
the Chinese.
It Is admitted here that Internation
al complications may result, if the
Plan is carried out, but the rebel
chiefs are taking the stand that the
proposition is fair and are bending
every effort to Influence the world
powers to recognize the proclaimed
republic.

Springfield, 111., Dec. 2, 1S5S.
James T. Thornton, Esq.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 23th writ
ten in behalf of Mr. John WT. H
Widner is received. I am absent al
together too much to be a suitable
instructor for a law student. When
a man has reached the age that Mr.
Widner has, and has already been
doing for himself, my Judgement is
that he read the books for himself
without an instructor. That Is pre
cisely the way I camo to the law. Let
Mr. Widner read Blackstono's Com
mentaries, Chelley's Pleadings, Green
leaf's Evidence, Stroey's Equity and
Storey's Equity and Pleading. Get a
license and go to the practice and
still keep reading. That is my Judge
ment of the cheapest, quickest and
best way for Mr. Widner to make a
lawyer of himself.

Dr. Franklin Allen, who has been

has been telling, was yesterday pro
nounced insane after an examination
by Dr. C. J. Smith and Dr. H. S. Gar

being that he had rented a five story
building on Main street, that he was
the head of the Allen Detective Agency
and was searching for a desperate
criminal, that he had purchased the
Oregon Feed Yard and that he had
assumed the law practice of J. Roy
Raley.
Dr. Allen and his wife have been

his wife it has been learned that he
was just released from the Idaho asy
