HARRIS PROTESTATiON
of Innocence When Face to Face
 With Death.

NEW YORK, May l0.-[ Associated Press l-The remains of Carlyle W. liar ris were buried in burial cemetery here this afternoon. After burial Harris last statement sent by the warden to the prison department of state was given out. Among other things he says regarding the refusal of executive clemency:
 The action Of the court is not justified by the facts of the case and hence the public outcry must be silenced by seeming justification of the court outside the facts. There h an idea in the minds of many that at the time of my wifes death desired marriage with some other woman. Such psrsol was never found, nor does she exist. No one had so many req. sons of sentiment or love aside for ,siring my wife O live as had She would have brought me money and professional success. She would ave graced my hon e. and had known of her sad habit 1t would have been my hap. piness to shield and cure her. May God in His mercy bless and guard those leave behind and leave them peace. lam now face to face with the greatest mystery known to man. Knowing no cOncealment or untruth can mitigate my end, do solemnly declare am inHoce { of the crime for which am condem ned to die.

No Work, No Pay.

Secretary Herbert authorized the statement that he will decline to extend the leaves of absence of any officer o the navy who is engaged in private bus mess. He will not interfere with or. ders of his predecessors, but will grant no new leaves of this kind and will cal in all those already granted at the ex, piration assigned them. The secretary says that he does not think it right that an officer educated at government ex. pense should be permitted, for his own private advantage, to utilize this knowl. edge and experience gained from the government and at the same time re main on it's pay roll. This decision re. fers to officers on leave who are em. ployed by private firms, those on lee, ture tours and those employed in pri. vate capacities at the worlds fair.

Blount's Appointment.

Officials of the state department to. night confirmed the predictions hereto fore made that Representative Blonnt would be appointed minister resident to Hawaii. It had been sup posed that Minister Stevens would re- main in charge of the legation until the 24th inst, at which time he announced his intention of sailing for San Fran. cisco. Now it is known that Stevens is instructed to forthwith turn over the le- gation to Commissioner Blount, who has been appointed his successor. There is reason to believe that Stevens was not allowed U remain in charge until the 2ith inst. because of his activity in behalf oi annexation. It is further stated at the department that Bowen and Sewall. who went to Honolulu a a short time after Commissioner Blonnt's arrival were active in their ef- forts to stimulate sentiment on the is- lands in favor of annexation, and there is reason to believe that they sought to create an impression that in so doing they were representing the president. Secretary Gresham has informed Blount that the president repudiates every thing sad and done by these gentlemen. It will be remembered that Sewall was an applicant for the position of third assistant secretary of state under the present administration, but failed to secure the appointment.

THE SUPPOSED ALEXANDER.

And Says He Is Convinced Tibet She Was
Foully Slain-Doctors Also of the Same
Opinion, but Chicago Police Believe 1t
Suicide-The Suspected Man, Seen at
New York, Admits Taking the Girl to
Chicago.
CHICAGO, May New light has been
thrown on the tragic death of Rose Berg
hold, who was found in a room at the
Southern hotel with her throat cut from
ear to ear. The arrival of the girls father,
Captain Berghold, who is member of the
New York police force, gave to the police
additional evidence in the case. Captain
Berghold said that the young woman had
left home April II, and he had not since
known of her whereabouts until he re-
ceive notice of her death in Chicago.
"She wrote us a letter the day after she
left telling us not to worry; that she had
decided to support herself" testified the
captain "She took with her 81 800. which
she had on deposit in a savings bank"
Believes His Daughter Was Murdered.
The fact that only SD was found in the
woman's effects in her room causes the
police to believe that her consort had dis
appeared with the greater portion of the
$1,000. Captain Berghold is firm in the
belief that his daughter was murdered for
her money. In substantiation of his
opinion the captain gave in detail de-
scription of the man who has hitherto
been known as Alexander, and in whose
company Rose Berghold went to the
Southern hotel. II have every reason
none other than William Alex
ander Cornell, who has been a friend of
my family for wears. He is an attorney
having an office at Il East One Hundred
and Fifteenth street, New York. he was
a schoolmate of my son and had eaten at
my table countless numbers of times. L
never suspected that an attachment exist
ed between him and my daughter. nor do
| believe any member of my family
thought so, but late developments have
shown to the contrary. l firmly believe
that he is concerned in my daughters
death"
Opinions of Physicians.
Physicians who have examined the
frightful cut across the girls throat are OF
the opinion that it is a case of murder and
that the murderer must have pulled back
his victims chin with his left hand while
she was asleep and then by a powerful
muscular effort severed the jugular. The
instrument used was a keen-edged razor,
which was found loosely held in her hand.
That of itself suggests murder, for If the
woman had welded the blade herself it
would have fallen from her fingers.
Police Think 1t Suicide Case.
Though the Chicago police do not ignore
the idea they are inclined to think that the
girl committed suicide. This seems to be
a likely theory and no evidence to the con-
trary has yet been secured. The police are
making extra efforts to find Cornell Cap
tain BerghoId and his son-in-law, ]. NJ.
Willetts, have taken the body of the girl
back to New York.
