CHILD BURNED 70 DEATH.
HIS CLOTHING CAUGHT FROM
A CRATE FIRE
While the Mother Was Out Of the
Room-Flesh Burned to a Crisp.
Died a Few Minutes
Later.

Elmer, a bright two-year-old son OF
William Stevens. stoker at the Eighth
ward engine house, was burned to
death yesterday afternoon.
About quarter before five o'clock,
Mrs. Stevens left the child in a room
in the second story of her residence,
at No. 10 Twenty-fourth street, and
went down stairs for bucket of coal.
During the absence the child ventured
too near the fire His clothing caught
from the CRATE, and within few mo-
ments he was enveloped in flames. AS
help did not arrive, in less than two
minutes the child's clothing was
burned and the flesh on his body baked
to crisp.
No person heard the screams of the
child, and when the mother returned
to the room, the sight which met her
gaze was agonizing in the extreme.
The child, who was romping about the
room a few moments earlier, was lying
in an unconscious condition moaning
with pain.
A physician was instantly commun-
icated with and neighbors were called
in. The physician gave directions as
to the proper remedies to be used, but
before he arrived at the house the boy
was dead. Mr.. Stevens was notified
Immediately. Coroner Schultze was
also notified and responded in short
time. He deemed a formal inquest
unnecessary, and rendered a verdict
in accordance with the facts as mar
rated above.

NOBODY's CLAIM.

Seeing Miss Sadie Hasson in the
play "Nobody's Claim" which opens
an engagement at the Grand tonight,
is like paying a visit to the famous
old Southern State. One phase of life,
however, is wildly depicted in the
play that the public is almost entirely
ignorant OF, that of the moonshiners
or illicit whisky distillers of that sec
ton. The play is from the pen of A.
E. Locks, one of the best of our play
wrights, who has shown consummate
skill in picturing the life and habits
of our western people. Miss Hassons
representations of the uncouth, rough
and ready mountain girl is one of the
cleverest bits of character acting that
has been done on the American stage
in many years.

Denver, Nov. 13.-At the Union Depot
yesterday the scenes rivaled those at
the Grotto of Lourdes, SO graphically
depicted by Zola. Every train that ar
rived, from the first break OF day to
midnight. was filed with its quota Of
sick, feeble and emaciated invalids
who have come for treatment by
Schlatter, the New Mexico healer. This
is the last week of the healer in Den
yer and the visitors are afraid that
when he reaches a larger city 1t will
be next to impossible to approach him
for the laying on Of hands.
CriDples are as numerous as the able

lower hotels are turning away guests

One special train arrived last even

Union Pacific announcing that the
train would leave Omaha Saturday

provided with lodgings in the local.

Nov. l3 Correspondence of the United

Japanese consul general, Shimamura,
arrived here yesterday. He had been
consul general at New York and Mex

satisfied with the failure Of the Hawai-
Ian government to live up to the terms
of the immigration treaty with Japan
in trying to check the influx here Of
Japanese. He Is to give special atten-
tion to that subject. This government
has for some time looked with much
apprehension upon the increasing pre-
dominance in number Of japanese in
Hawaii over the other nationalities
as well as upon the restless and fac
tious temper shown by them.
On this account they have stopped
the Importation of Japanese contract

Washington. Nov 13.-The United
Press dispatches from Honolulu, which
state that the japanese government Is
dissatisfied with Hawaii because Of the
alleged failure Of the latter govern
ment to respect the terms of the immi-
grafton treaty with Japan, excite some
attention here in view Of the known de-
sire OF the japanese people to acquire
possession of the Hawaiian islands The
population Is a very mixed one. The
natives, full-blooded and half caste,
number about 10000; there are 25. 900
Japanese, $4,000 Chinese, and 10000
whites, the latter being mainly Ameri-
cans. The Japanese government has
disclaimed any desire to acquire Ha-
wall, but the common people are pos
sessed Of the idea and It IL feared thew
may compel their government to take
some aggressive steps looking to the
acquisition of the country.
1t is pointed out that FULL, who was
the Japanese consul general at HonO-
lulu when Queen Liliuokalani was de-
posed, was an intimate friend Of Paul
Newman, who was the queens conf
DENTAL advisor, and that upon his re-
turn to Japan after the provisional
government was established he carried
with him a strong prejudice against
the Dole administration. Full now

here that his influence is all against
the present government and in favor Of
the annexation of the island.

schuler shut the door and drawing a
revolver, shot himself through the
heart. On his person was found a
cigar case with over $1,000 in green
backs. The cigar case contained the
name of Sam Kuenz. 1t is believed his
brother is in Fort Worth and he was
at once notified Of the tragedy. Schuler
stated during his stay here that he had
beeen master mechanic for q railroad.
Schuler spent most Of his time in
saloons and his actions indicated that
he was either unbalanced or meditat-
ing the horrible murders which he COM
mitted yesterday.
Robbery the Motive.
Later developments make 1t appear
that robbery was the motive for the
murders 1t is believed the murdered
woman was Mrs. Caroline Menn, of
Dallas, Tex. Her child was a girl Of
about 10 years. The murderer is sup
posed to be William or Sam Kuntz, of
Kansas City. Kuntz stated while here
that. he had been master mechanic
for railroad, and letters were found in
his trunk addressed to William Kuntz,
157 Grand avenue, Kansas City.
In the murdered woman's trunk was
found marriage license bearing the
names Of Catherine Mem and Theodore
Mem.
A letter was found in the woman's
effects. dated Oct. 4. from G. B. Brown,
Fort Worth, Tex. merchant, ad-
dressed to Mrs. Caroline Mem, Dallas,
Tex. the merchant requesting her to,
send a check for $25. From this 1t is
inferred the woman had a bank ac-
count. She stated that Mr.. Christen,
her son, kept hotel at Fort Worth,
and 1t Is believed Kuntz stopped at this
hotel, found out the woman had money,
enttced her to come here to murder her
and get the money. A telegram was
received here today from Fort Worth,
adding that Mrs. Menn's son has left
that city TO come here.
An insurance policy for $1,000 in his
own favor, a deed Of trust, executed by
Catherine Mem on property in East
st. Louis, photograph of Kuntz and
pictures of a handsome young woman
and child Of years were found in
Kuntz's trunk, besides the letters ad-
dressed to William Kuntz, Kansas
City.

Western Leagues Meet In New York
Powers Wants Representation.
New York, Nov. 13.-The annual fall
meeting of the National Base Ball
League was commenced to-day at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The board of directors went into ses-
sion first and got through the execu-
tive business. The treasurer's account
was approved and accepted. A num-
ber of appeals from players asking to
have fines inflicted during the past sea-
son remitted, were refused.
A letter was received from John M.
Ward, ex-captain of the New York
base ball club, asking that his name be
taken from the reserve list Of players,
as he has retired permanently from
base ball. and keeping his name on the
reserve list Injuries him in his present
profession. The matter was referred to
the National board meeting on the first
Of January.
Baltimore was declared the winner of
the championship Of 1896.
The question Of fines, umpires and
Sunday playing were discussed, but no
decisions were arrived at and they re-
main In exactly the same position as be-
fore.
The meeting then adjourned until II
O'Clock Tomorrow morning, when the
first business to be taken up will be the
Harry Wright memorial matter.
A very important deal was made dur.
ing the afternoon. Billy Nash, the cap
tain and third baseman of the Boston
team, was exchanged for Billy Hamil-
ton, the outfielder of the PHILADELPHIA
club. There were rumors of other deals
but this was the only one consummated.
Jack Doyle, ex-captain and ex-mana.
ger of the New Yorks, was in great de-
mand, but Manager Irwin thought that
II he was considered such a prize by
others ne might also prove useful to the
New York and no deal was made.
There was O very strong delegation
from the Eastern and Western Leagues
in the hotel to-day. President p. T.
Powers and his confreres will apply for
representation on the National board
The board has the Jurisdiction over ali
matters concerning the minor leagues
and the latter think they should have a
personal representation when matters
concerning them are discussed.
