A Triple Tragedy I'm Louisiana I'm which
Italians were the Victims, and which
smacks Very Strongly OF Malta Methods
I'm Getting Rid Of Objectionable Persons.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. I0.-The details of
horrible crime reached the city Thurs
day, and the evidence points to an out
break of the Malta in louisiana Be
tween 10 and IL o'clock Wednesday
night what win probably be triple
assassination took place at Convent, St
James parish.
The place where the crime was COM
mitted was the levee bank on the site
of what had been the celebrated Mia
crevasse. 1t is one of the most lonely
spots in the parish.
Thursday morning Deputy Constable
Joseph Moulton, while riding along the
levee, came upon the traces of terrible
struggle. A little further on he found
two dead bodies. Investigating the
the matter further Moulton came upon
a man badly wounded and nearly dead.
The man was quickly attended by ply
sicians, and after time recovered suf-
ficiently to tell the following story:
MY name is Stephenana Areta.
Tuesday night and two friends, one
named Antonio Paoli, and another
whose name / don't know, met four
men at the French market. The men,
as far as we knew, are Luis Lugio,
Sabbato Marew and two others whose
names are unknown.

go to St James parish under promise Of
getting us more work. We left New
Orleans Wednesday night and took the
train, checking our baggage for
Convent station. When we got to
the levee Lugio asked me what
time it was. pulled out my watch,
and as 1 replied that it was just 1920
o'clock Lugio shot me in the back. MY
two companions were standing near me
at the time. Marew stood by the un-
known young man who was with me,
and the sixth man, the stranger, was
by Paoh. As Lugio shot me the sixth
man drew a knife and slashed the
young man near him. He fled with his
assailant in pursuit. He stumbled and
fell near the cranebrake, and the man
chasing him cut his throat from ear to
ear. While this was going on Marew
crept near Roali and shot him through
the head. Lugio thought / was dead
and ran away. The others did like
wise, and crawled to the farm house
of Mr.. Kahn"
Areta will die. He is frightfully
wounded and it is not believed he can
stand a trip to the city. The case is in
the hands of the police and every effort
will be made to run the assassins to
earth. The authorities are positive tho
crime is of the malta order.

FUNDAMENTALLY SAVED

Four Lives Saved I'm the Nick of Time
from the Burning Milwaukee Light
Horse Squadron Armory-A Sleep that
Came Near Being tho Sleep OF Death.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 10.-At a. m. fire
was discovered in the Lighthouse
squadron armory on Broadway by Off
GER Shannon. Before he could give the
alarm there was a loud explosion, break
ing nearly all the front windows, and a
moment later great mass of flames
was issuing from the center windows on
the second floor. The fire department
quickly arrived on the. scene, and had
hardly reached the building when the
cries of boy were heard from the roof
calling for a ladder. The Hayes ladder
was raised to the roof, and two of the
firemen and one police officer rushed up
to the top and found huddled on the
roof four persons, who they rescued.
The persons saved were:
William Miller, the janitor of the
building
Mrs. William Miller, his wife.
Little George Miller.
Jacob Fitzpatrick.
The latter was primarily responsible
for the safety of the others, for he had
awakened them from what would
otherwise have been n sleep of death.
A rough estimate of the damage to
the building is placed at $4,000, and
loss on contents $500 Nothing is
known of the origin of the fire.

NOTED CONVICT DEAD.

Martin Burke Cronla Murder Convict,
Dies at tho Joliet Penftentiary-He Re-
veaIed Nothtrg ia Regard to the Mys-
terfous Murder.
JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. 10.-Martin Burke,
one of the men sent to Joliet prison for
completely in the famous murder of DR.
Patrick Cronin, of Chicago, died at the
penitentiary in this city last evening of
quick consumption His death was
not unexpected, as he had been sinking
rapidly for some time.
When Burke first entered the peni-
tertiary in January, 1889, he was placed
in the cooper shop. He remained there
until last summer, when he contracted
a severe cold, which steadily grew
worse and necessitated his change to
lighter work Since his entry to the
hospital Burke has steadily declined.
His end came quite sudden.
AS he was sitting talking to convict
nurse about his case he referred to the
examination made by DIR. Fredericlzs
and said: well, I guess it is all mp;
it's all right anyway" After some
further conversation he reverted to his
own approaching death and said: eff
die want Forrest to come down and
take my body to my folks" Forrest is
the attorney who conducted Burke's de-
Tense and has since his incarceration in
prison kept up his work on appeals to
the supreme court Burke had hardly
uttered these words when his head fell
forward and after one or two gasps life
was extinct
When the news of his coming death
was first made public last month
every means was resorted to to secure a
confession from him which would lift
the blood stained curtain from the Gro
min murder mystery and reveal the in
ner workings of the deadly conspiracy.
He had always maintained his sentence
was an injustice and it did not lie in his
power to place the crime upon those
who should be burdened with it. He
was frequently visited by Father DAN
lei, who was greatly interested in the
case. The priest, however, asserts that
never in his hearing did the deceased
refer to the Croniu case. 1t would seem
that he has departed this life without
revealing any of the knowledge he I'M
doubtedly possessed concerning the
murder of the Irish agitator.

DissatIsfa elton With Prof. Andrews Views
What the Outcome May BE.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 10.-Some of the
American delegates to the monetary
conference are not satisfied with the
statement of President Andrews to the
conference that the United States would
sooner part with South America or
Asia than with Europe. They regard
the statement as pandering to the
monometallist plans of Great Britain
and Germany and not as in accord with
American sentiment, and likely to Of
fend republics of South America,
with several of whom the United
States has entered into reci-
procity treaties One of the
chief fears of the monometallists of
Great Britain and the continent has
been that the United States and South
America might join silver combination
and ignore Europe and this apprehen-
sion has led the monometallists to make
at least some show of Cancellation. 1t
is argued by majority of the American
delegates that the statement was calcu-
lated in this respect to weaken the
American case

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, at lower price than the Royal,
they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
