The trick is to preserve the grain 50
that it will break like a piece of cast
steel. The churn should be turned at
the proper number of revolutions per
minute. which will depend on the
shape and size of the churn and t1e

Never put a churn more than a third

WILL CONSIDER 1T.
Mediation Will BE Discussed at the
Meeting of the Japanese Ministry
TOday-The Delay Explained.

Washington Nov. 16.-The state de-
partment has received information that
a special meeting of the japanese min
istry has been called for tomorrow to
consider the final offer OF the United
States to mediate between Japan and
China. The delay thus far is explained
by the fact that the cabinet meets at
Toxic, while the emperor has to be
consulted at Hiroshima.
What the nature of the reply will be
is not definitely known yet. Strong in
timations have reached the officials
here that the cabinet will ask China
either to make offer direct to Japan
or else free it from all doubt, specify
ing the exact amount of indemnity she
will pay.
The fact was developed today that
the Tsang Ii Yamen, of China, the
council cabinet of the empire, had
made a direct request to the United
States that this government offer its
services as mediator. Heretofore it
has been understood that the request
from China was that this government
join the powers in intervening, to
which this government responded in
the negative and offered to act alone.
1t was also developed today that the
substantial feature of the proposition
made by the United States to Japan is
as follows:
eff the United States was in a posi-
ton to exercise it's good offers in bring
ing about an understanding between
China and japan, would Japan feel
that it would be prejudicial to her in
terests to have such influences eX-
erted ?"

Perry, o. T., Nov. 16.-Many of the
great frauds perpetrated in the opening
of the Cherokee outlet, which consists
of 5000, 1000 acres of valuable lands. for
merly Occupied by the Indians, are conn.,
ing to light, but the greatest was I'M
earthed today in trial before the gov
eminent town trustees, who are an ap-
pointive tribunal of the secretary of
the interior to determine contests for
town lots.
Perry by great odds is the largest
townsite in the new promised land
opened by the present administration.
At high noon September Is, 1893, of the
$1,000 who ran for homes or town lots
in the Cherokee outlet, nearly 1000 of
them slept on Perry townsites on the
night of September IS, 1898. To be a
qualified entryman to take town lots or
homes it was necessary for the man or
woman to go to government booths
and there on oath make a certain re-
quired declaration before a booth GER
tificate could be issued to qualify one
to acquire land.
Thousands of men and women stood
in the line day and night in an almost
unbearable dust and dirt to obtain this
necessary paper, which would qualify
them to get home. One Of the booths
was located at Orlando, ten miles
south of Perry, and it was there that a
majority of the certificates were OBJ
tanned for locating in this city, and it
was there that a great fraud was per-
petrated, which only came to light yes
terday. The interior department sent
out several men from Washington to
superintend this work of booth certi-
ficates, and one, D. LIE Calett, was put
in charge of the Orlando booth. A
prominent lawyer Of Guthrie and a we'll
known contractor of the territory, then
living at Guthrie, concerted a plan to
make a great speculation. They OBJ
tanned the friendship of LIE Calett, got
him drunk and for few hundred dol
lars obtained many hundreds of those
certificates without the formality of
making oath at a booth, standing in
line in dust and dirt for days. They
took the booth certificates to Guthrie
and other towns and sold them at from

Elmyra, n. Y, Nov. 16.-Martin J..
Straight, a well known flour dealer,
this afternoon fatally shot his wife.
put one bullet in the body of Mrs
William Whitford, which may cause
her death, and then turned the revolt
Yer on himself and tried three times
to put a bullet through his own heart,
failing to strike that organ, but in
tlicting wounds which will undoubtedly
cause his death.
The shooting was the result of do
mestic difficulties.
The -Whitford and Straight families,
until a few weeks ago, lived in the
same house on Hudson street, the wo-
men being sisters.
Straight and his wife fell to quarrel
ling and separated, but soon buried
their difficulties and again resumed
marital relations.
About three weeks ago they again
fell out.
Straight tried in vain to regain the
good will of his wife. This morning
he sent her a note by ID messenger boy,
who returned, saying there was no
answer.
Straight then purchased two re-
Volvers.
Early in the afternoon he saw his
wife and sister-in-law in the business
section, shopping. He followed them
across the river towards their home
The first intimation they had of his
approach was when he began shoot
ing, the first shot being fired at Mrs.
Whitford. 1t struck her in the side
and she fell.
His wife wheeled about with a cry,
and he fired three bullets into her
all striking her in the stomach and
abdominal region and passing clear
through her.
He continued shooting until one re-
Volver was emptied and then produced
the other and fired three bullets into
his left side in an endeavor to reach
his heart. In all he fired ten shots
and then calmly seated himself on a
horse block. A crowd gathered but as
he still had the smoking revolver, hes
itated to approach.

only three of u.s.
He and his victims were helped to

HERALD. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IL

MED the authority of the statement
which, is it alleged. was cabled from
mere, questioning the accuracy of the
interview which the Associated Press
correspondent had with General Won
Caprivi, and which appeared at length.
In papers receiving the dispatches of
the Associated Press in the United
States and Canada on the morning of
October 2S. Major Won Ebemeyer stat
ed. further. that he would not discuss
the question beyond this denial, as he
would have to decline being drawn in
TO any discussion if the United Press
was TO be party.
The Associated Press interview with
General Won Caprivi occurred on FRI
day evening, October %, in the chamber
occupied by the retiring chancellor, in
the Reichsanzeiger building, and in the
same room where the former inter
views with him had taken pace. Cen
eral Won Caprivi received the CORE
spondent alone and his card was taken
to the general by the whitehaired con-
cierge who had performed the same
duty on previous occasions.
On the morning of October 2S, the
newspapers in the United States and
Canada receiving the dispatches of the
Associated Press received from Berlin
a copyright letter of about 2,000 words
rec;ting the story of political events in
Germany which led up to the retire
ment of General Won Caprivi as chan
ce.lor of the empire. 1t also embodied
an interview had by the Associated
Press correspondent with the retiring
chancellor, giving in his own words the
facts leading up to his resignation and
that of Count Eulenburg from the cab
met. The same dispatch dwelt upon the
facts given in a former cabled letter,
three weeks ago, and in which the re-
suit was clearly and accurately fore
shadowed
On November IA, the United Press
sent out statements under a Berlin
date, calling in question this interview
and stating it was authorized" to
make denial. BY implication it at
tributed the denial to Major Won Ebe-
meyer, who had just returned from
Switzerland, where he had been in COM
pany with General Won Capriyi. The
superintendent of the foreign service
of the Associated Press at London was
asked to investigate the matter, and
the above cable from Berlin, received
this afternoon, is the result.
The significance of the reply of Major
Won Ebemeyer to the effect he would
not be drawn into a discussion if the
name of certain news correspondent
at Berlin was involved can be under
stood when it is remembered that such
a correspondent was openly charged in
the reichstag last winter with being a
spy and the agent of the same associa-
ton at Hamburg, was convicted and
sentenced to six weeks imprisonment
for sending out false news.

RI0RDAN PROBABLY KILLED.
FitzsimmOns May Find Himself BE-
hind the Bars-A Feature MOI
Down in the Bills.

Syracuse, n. Y. Nov. 16.-Robert
Fitzsimmons knocked out Con Riordan,
his sparring partner. tonight in the first
round of his usual exhibition, which
closes the programme of his vaudeville
show.
Jacobs theatre was crowded to wit
ness the entertainment and the audi
ence departed for their homes. little
knowing that Riordan was still uncon-
cious. The blow was right handler
and caught Riordan squarely on the
chin. He did not fall to the floor from
the force of the blow. but sank slowly
until he measured his length on tho
stage. The accident occurred at 1920
o clock and two physicians have been
working over him with appliances of
electricity for two hours and a half
without being able to restore him to
consciousness.
At 1890 o'clock he was removed from
the theatre to Hotel Candee.
1t was stated by Manager Glori that
Riordan had been drinking hard all day
and that he was intoxicated when he
came on the stage for the set-to. I'M
mediately after the Riordan incident
James Dunfee, local sparrer, put on
the gloves for a two-round set-to with
Fitzsimmons
In the second Durfee landed a right
handler on Fltzsimmons' jaw. securing
clear Touchdown, the first, Fitz,
simmons declares he ever was given.
He was so da2ed when he regained his
feet that he could not see Durfees hand
when it was extended at the call OF
time.
Fitzsimm0ns was arrested shortly
after midnight. The physicians attend
ing Riordan say there is grave doubt
of his recovery.
At 2:lo a. m. Riordan was still in
the same unconscious condition A
consultation of physicians was called
at O'Clock and they declared that un-
less the man. returned to consciousness
in short time there could be slight
hopes of his recovery.
Dr. Tolman, the physician who at.
tended Donovan, the pugiIjst who was
killed in fight with Dunfee. the man
who fioored Fitzsimmons here. was
one of the counsel, and he expresses
the opinion that the man would. die.
f1tzslmmons was taken 10 police
headquarters at o'clock. He seemed
in low spirits at the outcome of the ac
eident and inplored the officers that
he be not required to go to the bedside
of the dying man. When explaining
the fight to the police he said Riordan
w5s only taking his evening nap. -
and that he thought he would come
out all right He said Riurdan had
been drinking a good deal for a long
time. The company was about to
discharge him because he was not
lively enough when he came on the
stage.
Il did not hit him hard enough, he
said. II only tapped him like that
striking an officer lightly on the
cheek. When he fell on his knees he
said: Call time | didn't think l had
hurt him and supposed he only wanted
TO escape punishment.
I'VE had only been at it few min
utes when | made a pass at him. I
hit him on the right cheek with the
back of my right hand.
