TALKS OF THE KILLING.
Slayer of Detective Lawson Says that a
Debt Caused His Death.

DeDI SauseO f.S Death.
Los Angeles, Cal, June 1f.-Ferd p.
Kennett, the slayer of Detective A. B.
Lawson, appears calm though not I'M
concerned. He talks freely of the deed
and says that there was no other cause
than that Lawson owed him $500 for
services and refused to even discuss
the matter, much less pay the debt.
Kennett'S wife died about a week ago.
Kennett spent one entire night at her
grave and ever since her death has
suffered terribly from nrvous prostra-
ton. His friends assert that he is in
sane. No one saw the shooting except
the principals but the story that Law
son first assaulted Kennett is not be-
lieved and does not justify the allega-
ton of self-defense as made by Ken
nett.
ST Louis. June 1.-THE news that
Ferdinand B. Kenneth had killed a man
in Los Angeles, Cal, was received here
in st. Louis, his former home, with dis
may and regret. Although Ferd Ken
nett is best known to st. Louisans of
the present day through his connec-
ton with the police department, his
social record and standing before that
outranked his subsequent career. He is
the second son of Colonel Ferd Ken
nett. one of the oldest of the French
families here. During the war Ferd B.
served with great distinction in the
navy with Raphael Simms on the
southern side. When he returned to
Missouri he went to farming and later
was elected to the state senate. After
several reverses in fortune, Kenneth
was appointed chief of police here for
distinguished services during the rail-
road strike. He was the youngest po-
lice chief who ever served in st. Louis.
Los Angeles. Cal, June 11.-Alfred
Lawson. son of the detective shot by
F. b. Kennett, ex-chief of police of
st. Louis says that his father did not
owe Kennett a cent.
''I do not blnea Kenneth, for he was
urged on to do what he did. There is
another party back of it ALL"
Kennett's examination is set for Sta
urday. His defense will be insanity.

MISSIONARIES ALL ARE SAFE.
Property was all Lost but no Lives Lost al
Chen Tu.

New York, June 1.-THE following
cablegram of today's date from Rev.
]. r. Hykes at Shanghai has been re-
ceived at the office of the Methodist
Missionary society in this city: Prop
erty at Chen Tu destroyed. Mission
aries all safe" These advices are Off
cial and should set at rest the rumorS
of the massacre of missionaries, said
DR.. Baldwin, the recording secretary.
London. June n.-According to a
special dispatch from Shanghai, the
loss of property as the result of the
recent rioting at Cheng Tu, Kiatung
and Yo Chung, amounts to several mil
lion dollars. Chinese officials, it is
added. headed by the viceroy Of the
province, openly encouraged the mobs
TO all sorts Of outrages.
Washington, June 1.-THE Chinese
legation is still without information
as to the report of depreciation on
American missions in China. 1t is con-
sidered settled that no lives have been
lost and that any depredations which
may have occurred are confined to
missionary property. 1t is said that If
the reports are confirmed that officials
countenanced the destruction they will
be severely dealt with. 1t is custom
cry to regrade viceroys, even when
they are not responsible for riots in
their provinces, and the punishment,
it is said, doubtless will be more severe
if they have aided the outbreak, as
the reports state.

rustees of the consolidated mortgage

trustees of the consolidated mortgage
will have to put up to take the property
August l. Union, Pacific authorities
said today: 1T seems safe to assume
that for the next nine months the4
present receivers of the Union Pacific
will manage the property in Utah, If
not the whole Oregon Short LNine mad
Utah Northern.
1t does not seem possible, 1t is siad
that the trustees, under these circum-
stances, will spend nearly $450,00O for
the Utah Southern and Southern ex-
tensions when by waiting for nine
months the American Loan and Trust
company can succeed to the control OF
the properties by the processes Of fore
closure, which is their right, and 1t now
seems fair to presume that this will be
done on the part of the trustees.
