BERLIN, March 10.-The Botrstn Courier
states that tho military tribunal has ac-
Quilted Count Won Kolzo Of the charges
made against him In connection with
tho court scandal Won Kotse was tho
royal chamberlain, and tho unsavory
scandal In which ho was o principal
figure has caussd widespread comment.
His arrest In June last was the result Of
the last four yearR police investigation.
During that period members Of the
highest German aristocracy wero In rO-
ceipt Of anonymous lettera and postal
cards making the most indecent per-,
sonal accusations against the porsons

friends. In number Of caseg irrepara-

cipients Of the slanderous miIsives
placed them In tho hands Of tho police,
and as q result Count Won K0tze was
arrested. He strongly protested his In
nocence, although the proof against
him was seemingly overwhelming.
Whom Emperor williams attention was
called TO the immense aensAtion the
arrest would create he said: "Eovor

other common criminal"
With everything pointing TO his guilt,
Won Kotze was thrown into prison, and

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 25.-The San
Joaquin County Teachers Institute con-
vened in a recitation-room of the Lafay
ette School this forenoon at 10 o'clock.
The apartment was crowded and the as
semblage showed its patriotism by singing
America" An invocation was then
asked by Rev. Daniel Mackinnon of ST.
Johns Episcopal Church, after which the
m after of organization was taken up.
The officers elected for the ensuing year
were: Vice-President, D. A. Mobley,
principal OF the High School, and secretary
Miss Susie Kohlberg. County Superintend-
ent Goodell is ex-officio president of the
Institute.
The Institute is being attended by dele
cation of about twenty Calaveras County
teachers, headed by Superintendent E. +.
Floyd. There will be no Institute in Gala
veras County this year, but the teachers
did not want to miss the opportunity of
attending one.
HThis forenoon's session was principally
taken up with lecture by Thomas P.
Bailey Jr. of the State University. His
subject was Notebooks and Teachers
Clubs" He remarked that his theme,
although under new head, would really
be his old talk on "Child Study" He

tional Institution, that President Jordan Of
Stanford University said that he de-
llvered the same lectures over aud over
again because the people wanted them.
The people did not particularly desire to
hear repetitions of his discourse, the
speaker modestly feared, and accordingly
he varied the subject.
The afternoon session was even better
attended than that of the morning and
the room would not contain all those who
sought information from the speakers from
the universities. Professor Bailey spoke
again, delivering an entertaining and in
structiye discourse. Miss Darrah of STAN
ford University was present this afternoon
and talked on 1.-The Bad Boy" This even
ing Professor Bailey delivered a lecture at
the First Presbyterian Church on "The
Evolution of Character"

SAD TRAGEDY,
A Son Of Attorney Charles K.
Jenner Ends His Life With
a Bullet.
Leaves Behind No Statement of the
Cause That Impelled Him
to the Act.

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 25.-Archibald
Jenner, student at the State University
and son of Hon. Charles K. Jenner, one
of the most noted lawyers in the State.
shot himself in the head in room % of the
Laclede House, on Front street, opposite
the Seattle Athletic Club, about IL 90
o'clock this morning. His body now lies
upon slab at Butterworth & Sons under
taking parlors ON Second street. It was
case of suicide. Why the young mamie
was but 10 years of age-took his life is
yet mystery. He left a farewell mes
sage, but gave no reason for the act.
Jenner went to the Laclede House about
IL o'clock and, ringing up Mrs. Gunter-
man, the landlady, said he wanted to rent
sleep.
"You cannot sleep much in an hour, !"
answered Mrs. Gunterman, as she started
to conduct him to a room.
"Oh, it don't take a young man like me
long to get to Sleep" replied Jenner, and
he concluded, 'be sure to wake me in one
hour"
Some time later the Guntermans heard a
noise as if q pistol had been fired, but the
sound was so faint that it did not occasion
any suspicion.
AT about IL o. clock or a few minutes past
IL, Miss Alice Gunterman wentto room %
and raped on the door. She got no an
swer, and, after rapping again and receiv-
ing no response, she returned and reported
the matter. Later both Mr.. and Mrs. Gun
terman went up and forced open the door.
The body of Jenner was lying face upward
in front of the bureau. Close by his right
hand was cheap, double-action American
bulldog revolver. 1t was of Al caliber, and
on the bureau was box of cartridges. All
but one of the barrels of the revolver were
loaded. The one contained an empty car
fridge, and the load from that had ended
the young mans life.
Jenner had stood in front of the mirror.
taken deliberate aim and fired. The ball
entered the head near the top of the skull,
took downward course and penetrated
the brain. Death is believed to have been
instantaneous. Jenner left note to his
schoolmate, e. A. Crueger, in which he
said:
I am sorry to have to leave you, but my
future is anything but bright. l may be a
coward ETC., for this, but have weighed and
considered we'll my condition. Give Harry,
who has been too kind to me, those photo
graphs of Alaska, and also the story of my

FATE or THE STRATHKEYIS.
The Long Overdue Pacific Liner Not Heard
From Since 1t Departed From
Kictorin

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 25. The
Northern Pacific steamship Tacoma, ex-
pected here from the Orient tomorrow.
will, it is hoped. bring some tidings of the
long overdue steamer Strathnevis, which
left here for Yokohama over six weeks
ago, and which has not since been heard
from. When the captain of the Strath-
nevis left here he stated that he would be
fully thirty days on the voyage, owing to
the poor condition of the Steamers
machinery. but as this time has long since
elapsed anxiety is beginning to increase.
The Strathnevis is new vessel and OF
tremendous carrying capacity, having,
during the two trips it made for the
Northern Pacific Company, carried the
largest amount of freight ever borne by a
single vessel across the Pacific. Its
present outward cargo amounted to only
1000 tons, and this wes made up of -four,
canned goods, etc. There is no fear of the
crew starving, nor from its size is there
any danger of the vessel sinking from
being overloaded. The only theory ap-
parently feasible is that the steamers 8
machinery broke down far out from land,
and the vessel is probably drifting about,
making as good use of her short sails as
possible in the hope OF sighting another
ocean liner.
All trans Pacific liners now follow one
course between here and the Orient, and
hence the expected news by the Tacoma.

Superior Judge Minor Interprets
the Revenue Laws of
the State.
THE ASSESSMENTS ARE VALID.
Bankers Will Appeal the Test Case
Brought Against Collector
Downer.

MODESTO, CAL, Nov. 25.-Superior
Judge Minor. this morning rendered
a decision in the case of McHenry
ct al vs.. w. A. Downer, Tax Col
lector, holding the taxation OF shares OF
National bank stock legal. This was a
test case in which all the National banks
of the State combined. The decision is a
long one, covering eighteen pages of legal
cap. Many authorities and sections of
acts of Congress and the State Legislature
are cited. The decision concludes as
follows:
"a large part of the moneyed capital of
the State is invested in shares of stock of
National banks, and there is probably no
mode of investment so profitable. Prop
erty of all other corporations and indi-
vlduals bears its burden of taxation. The
constitution expressly declares that stock
shall be taxed, the act of Congress per-
mits it. the revenue laws of the State were
framed for the purpose of reaching prop
erty of every description, and l do not be-
ieye that the Legislature of the State has
been so powerful for evil and futile for
good as to overthrow the plain provision
of organic law and at the same time defeat
the object it started out to accom- plish in
the enactment of the revenue law, namely:
The imposition of the burdens of govern
ment upon all property alike. In my
opinion the assessment is valid.'
The case will now go to the Supreme
Court.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
Joseph Foster Wanted for StcedrinS
FaLseIy in q Complaint.

Falsely IN a Complaint.
FRESNO, CAL. Nov. 25.-Joseph W..
Foster was arrested at Hanford to-day on
telegram sent by Sheriff Scott from this
county. The Grand Jury returned an in
dictment against Foster last Saturday,
but he could not be located until to-day.
The charge against Foster is perjury, al
legged to have been committed in swearing
to com plant last summer charging Louis
Ipsen, who resides in the western part OF
this county, with grand larceny in having
stolen a horse. At the examination of
Ipsen Foster admitted that he knew moth
ing whatever of Ipsen having stolen the
horse. The case against Ipsen was dis
missed, there being no foundation for the
charge against him.
1t appears that Ipsen swore to COM
plant against one Joe Middleton for steal
ing grain from fields in the West-side
country. Foster is q friend OF Middleton
and in an attempt to get Ipsen to drop the
prosecution Foster sWore to the complaint
against Ipsen. He afterward told 1psen
that if he would drop the Middleton case
he (Foster) would drop the Ipsen case.
Ipsen refused to be bulldozed and Middle
ton was afterward con victed.
Foster was arrested few years ago by
Sheriff Kay of Tu!are for being implicated
in the Pixley train robbery. He was after
ward released because there was not suffi-
cient evidence against him. Foster then
brought suit for 5000 damages against
Sheriff Kay and the case was tried in this
county last summer, Foster losing it.
