BAD FOR BURKE.
Damaging Evidence That win

CONNECTING HIM WITH THE PLOT

Apprehended In the Cronln HEarder
Case-winnipcg Authorities WIN Hold
Him.
CHICAGO, June 10.-'sThe arrest of
Martin Burke at Winnipeg is the most
important yet effected. He is deeper in
the plot than any Of the men now in
jail" So said Chief of Police Hubbard.
From other sources a summary Of the
evidence affecting the suspect, and which
viii be submitted to the grand jury
within forty-eight hours, has been OBJ
tanned.
Testimony Against Burke.
A prominent north side Irishmen viii
testify that but few weeks before the
murder Burke remarked in q public
place that lie Caron should have been
killed before he had a chance of leaving
for England, and that there was an
other fellow who would get it before he
was many weeks older.
1t will be shown that Burke and ex-
Detective Coughlin were frequently seen
together in saloons on the north side and
that the former was a frequent visitor
at the cottage Of Iceman Sullivan.
Plenty Of Money without Work.
But the most important witness will
be old Mrs. Philbin, Burke's aunt, and
in whose house he boarded BY her il
will be shown that he lost his po-
sition in the city sewer department last
December and has since had no employ
ment. Up to February he was short of
finds, ran in debt for his board and bor-
rowed an occasional dollar wherever he
could get it. From that time on to his
sudden fight from the city he had plenty
of money-more, in fact, than when he
was working. On the day of DIR.
Cronin's disappearance he was absent
from home. He did not return all night.
Sunday morning at o'clock he put in
an appearance heavy and sleepy, and in
reply to questions said that he had slept
all night at the iceman's house. It will
also be shown that he was an active
member of the inner circle of Camp 90
of the Clan-na-Gael.

with $50 Cadets Aboard.
NORFOLK, Va. June 10. 9.-Lieut. Archer,
of the United Sites steamship Con-
stellation arrived in Norfolk at 9 o'clock
last evening and brought the intelli-
gence that the Constellation had gone
ashore one mile below Cape Henry, just
inside the capes, at o'clock in 3 thick
fog. A brisk northeast gale was blow
ing in the capes at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour when the accident
occurred, and the ship hes broadside TO
the beach about 800 yards from the
shore.
AT 10 o'clock Lieut.. Archer left on the
Baker Salvage Wrecking company s
steamerPeed for the Constellation. Lieut..
Tyler, acting under instructions from
Commodore Brown at the Norfolk navy
yard, has chartered the iron tug Norfolk
to 90 to the assistance of the warship.
The Constellation lies so close in shore,
however, and is in such position, that
she cannot be hauled off by boats, but ca
bles and hawsers must be used.
In Dangerous Position.
The vicinity where she is ashore is a
decidedly dangerous one and one where
many wreck have taken place. 1t is al.
ways given a wide berth by mariners
and it is thought that the Constella.
tons commander allowed his ship to be
carried too near in shore by the perilous
current before recognizing the danger OF
his position or that his compasses were
out OF order.
The Constellation had on 13O cadets

cadets are much disheartened, and as q
heavy sea is now running, much incon.
sidered dangerous as there are number
of people on shore with the apparatus OF
the life saving station ready to render
them assistance at moments notice.

To the Editor Of EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: An article recently appeared in
your paper in regard to peach yellows.
referring to the law which is pending for
the extirpation Of the disease. Peach
yellows is an old disease, well known-yes.
too well known by growers of peaches in
the lower part of New Castle county. 1t
has existed for more than a generation.
and will still continue to exist as long as
peach trees are planted. That any sane
man should have an idea that pulling up
tree OF thousand trees will tend to
stamp out this existing evil is ridiculous.
say to you most emphatically gen
tlemen of the Legislature, you had
just as well pass law to stamp out con
sumption in the human family. |, fol-
one, most heartily endorse the endeavors
of Professor Smith in his efforts of the
last two years in endeavoring to find out
the cause of yellows think and believe
that growers of peaches will bear me
out, that you must first find out the
cause and the nature of the disease anC
the most favorable conditions for its de
velopment. Begin with the disease in it.

about 30 years old. He was born in
York county, of poor parents, and his
educational advantages were confined to

The death of his father threw him on
his own resources, and he hired out as a
farm hand. Afterwards he educated
himself sufficiently to teach a small
country school. When he reached Port

engaged in the lumber trade. The town
has since grown to a place of about
1900 population. 1t is ON the Susque-
