DIR. CHARLES DEATH.
Allegations That He Was Robbeu
and Murdered

CHICAGO. Jan. 12.-Frlends of DR..
James Charles, an Omaha dentist who
committed suicide last week in the
Brewster hotel in this city, believe that
he was robbed before he shot himself.
When he was at the hotel the first time
he was we'll dressed, had plenty of
money and wore large diamonds and a
costly gold watch. When he reappeared
at the hotel, after an absence of few
days, to borrow a quarter wherewith to
send telegram asking for funds, he
was penniless. without jewelry and clad
in wretched clothes. He had intended,
he said. to go to Omaha, but mad been
beaten and robbed in hotel near the
depot. He did not say what hotel nor
what depot.
ID. ii. Mcdonald, all old and intimate
friend of Dr.. Charles. says: IL Will
always believe that DR.. Charles was
robbed and brutally assaulted. 1t was
not characteristic of the man to associate
with people of C low class. His clothes
were always of the latest cut and he had
hobby for wearing high-priced dia
monds and iewelry. He carried an ex-
cellent watch when l saw him last, and
this was gone when he returned to the
hotel few days previously to his death.
| felt at the time o. the inquest that
something should have been done TO
clear away the mystery. There was GER
tainly something behind it ALL and am
satisfied the proper solution has not
been reached"

SHIPPING REFUGEES.
They Will Be Landed in Safety
The Present Situation.

W AsHlNGToN, Jan. IA cablegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from Minister Egan stating that
Bill the refugees, nine in number, who
were under the protection of the Ameri-
can legation at Santiago been trans
ferred to the United States man-of-war
Yorktown, lying at anchor i'll the har-
Dor of Valparaiso. These refugees, it
is thought at the navy department. will
be transferred from Yorktown to some
passing vessel to be landed at CaIlao
Peru. or, if that is impracticable, the
Boston, which is now at Calico. will re-
turn to Valparaiso, and the Yorktown
will land the refugees at CallaO.
In the present condition of affairs it
is not thought likely that Minister Egan
Will be left unprotected at Santiago.
and If the refugees cannot be trans
TERED to passing coast steamer, it will
be necessary to have the Boston return
to Valparaiso to protect Minister Egan
while the Yorktown lands her political
refugees on neutral territory. At the
navy department it is stated that so far
no orders have been sent to the Boston
to return TO Valparaiso or for the York
town to leave that port.

HEARINGS TO BE BRIEF.
Ways and Means Committee to
Make a New Departure.

MuAC d new Dcpdftufe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lat is deemed
probable that the ways and means COM
mlttee of the house will make one very
radical departure from the past practice
of the committee. This will be in de-
Ginning to afford prolonged hearings to
those va ious interests that are likely to
be affected by proposed legislation.
The sense of the Democratic majority
is clearly in favor of limiting the work
of the committee to the preparation of
less than a dozen bills, affecting only
that number of articles of import.
They hold that the articles affected
have been the subject of SO much pub
lie discussion that no special informa-
ton is necessary to enable the commit
tee to act intelligently upon the bills to
be considered. Those delegations and
those interests which desire To be heard
will, it is said. be invited to reduce
their statements to writing and present
them to the committee, where they will
receive careful consideration and prob
ably be ordered printed for the infor-
nation of the committee.
