Brutal Tragedy Enacted In the Little Town Of

Story Of Woman

MARYSVILLE, CAL, May Joe
Pierre. an aged Frenchman who conducted
pawn shop frequently under the espion-
age of the authorities, was found dead in
his shop this morning, bound, gagged
and covered with blood.
1t is surmised that the murderers, whose
object was robbery, secreted themselves
in his quarters last night while Pierre
was known to be at Salvation Army
meeting.

disorder.
Today box Of gold and silver watches
and 500 in coin were found in his rooms.
This afternoon the police arrested Stewart
Green, alias George Duroy. an electric
ian, and barber named Miller. When
arrested the latter tried to get his pistol.
but was prevented. Green's mistress gave
the clue to the authorities. Subsequently
Green made a full confession, stating that
he and Miller had committed the murder
but had got nothing.
Miller. in his confession, tried to throw
the actual commission of the crime upon
Duroy. Tonight there have been loud
threats Of lynching, but as they came

don within fortnight; as soon as Mica
ragua confirms and so informs the British
admiral the admiral is instructed to
leave Cornto.
This official statement was given out at
the state department after o'clock this
, afternoon and may be regarded as chron-
icling the passage of the acute phase of
the difficulty between Great Britain and
| Nicaragua, which at one time perhaps
threatened to involve the United States.
1t cannot be doubted that Nicaragua
will promptly confirm the arrangement
| and the British feet will leave Corinto
as soon as notice of the action of the
British foreign Office cah be communicat-
ed to Admiral Stephenson, which. by the
way, might be sooner had not the Nicara-
guans purposely interrupted the COM
munications by cable directly between the
foreign office and the admiral.
The guarantee by Salvador of Nicara-
gua's Indebtedness. it is said, is simply
repayment of the favor extended to Saliva
dor by Nicaragua at the time of the Ezeta
incident when DR. Guzman. the Nicara-
guam minister at Washington, took up the
case of Salvador by instructions of his
own government and worked so hard to
secure the extradition of the refugees to
Salvador. In addition to this considera-
tion based on gratitude. the Salvado dreams
are supposed to BIZ influenced in espous-
ing the Nicaraguan cause by feeling of
apprehension at the presence of British
troops on Central American soil. 1t is
quite certain that all of the countries of
Central America have been deeply i'm
pressed with some such idea. 1t is felt
here that the Nicaraguan incident may.
perhaps. be the direct means of bringing
about again the long expected revival of
the union of the Central American repub-
lies, the small republics now existing
having been brought to realization of
their inability of protecting themselves
in conflict with any considerable power.
Although it may be safely assumed that
the acute phase of the Nicaraguan Incl
dent has passed, supposing that there
should be no hostile collision before the
formal orders have reach ed the COM
manders on each side, there are yet some
matters to be adjusted before the Incl
dent can be regarded as entirely closed.

Convention of riSh.AmericanS
to Be Held
IDEA STARTED IN NEW YORK
Words Of England's Grand Old Man
Quoted
I)eJepntes VIII Re IN Attendance Prom All the
Principal Cities In the Union, In-
cluding Los Angeles

NEW YORK, May 2.-The following
will be published here tomorr ow:
"A movement has been set on foot to
hold a convention OF Irish-Americans in
one of the large cities at an early date.
A number of gentlemen who have been
prominent in the Irish cause and who are
OF the various schools of political thought
have come to the conclusion that the
time has come for Irish Americans to in
augurste new and bolder policy in the
interest of Irish independence.
1.-The agitation known as the Parnell or
Parliamentary movement as far as Irish
nationality Is concerned, is dead. The
home rule question has been ruled out OF
practical British politics by the British
people. The new movement abides by the
decision, as tar as the further prosecution
of parliam entary agitation is concerned; !;
but determines to keep the flag of Irish
independence still flying and will devote
itself to forcing the Irish question upon
the attention of the world in such a man
ner as will inevitably compel settlement
more satisfactory to Ireland than any
heretofore offered by any British party.
Mr.. Gladstone said in moving his home
rule bill:
'If, therefore, the resistance to this
measure were to be bitter, obstinate and
prolonged. the question Of repeal might
finally become an international one"
The promoters of the new movement
have been driven. to adopt the alternative
suggested by Mr.. Gladstone and will try
to make the demands Of Ireland subject
for international consideration. Several
hundred ish-Americans have pledged
their sympathies and compensation and
the names are representative of all Sec
tions of the United States.
Men from the most distant points. in
Guiding such cities as San Francisco,
Seattle. Tacoma and Los Angeles and va
rious centers in Montana and Colorado
have signified their intention OF being
present at the meeting. All are unani-
nous that the proposed movement is not
only opportune, but positive necessity
for the Irish cause.

THE SILVER QUESTION
Senator Elkins Puts Himself on Record in Col


LEADVILLE, Col, May 2.-United
States Senator Elkins is in the city.
Speaking of the silver question, he said:
I'VE all know that unless it is settled it
is doubtful whether the Republican party
will succeed in the next presidential cleo
ton. have great confidence that the Re-
publican party will solve this question
satisfactorily to the majority of the
American people. Colorado has more to
say in settling this matter than any other
state and it should exercise the rights of
it's prerogative, as it is one of the largest
producers of silver and one of the most
influential of the white metal common
wealths. If Colorado will only point out
the way think we can get through it. I
do not pretend to say what the COM
promise should be, but that it would be
much better for the silver men to give
something. even if the silver men should
have control of the convention. Would 1t
not be good policy to concede some
thing to the gold men and thus hold their
support rather than to refuse them any,
thing and lose their support?"

Conlan held the prisoner to answer for
the murder of Minnie Williams, and
without bail. The judge made close
review of the testimony that goes to bring
home the crime to the defendant, and
on his showing no other conclusion was

The Lamont case was taken up at once.
When Conductor West took the stand he
was just as positive as ever that Blancne

he had particularly noticed the hat she

He asked him if he had not been
present at the inquest before he was put
on the stand. West admitted, with some
reluctance. that he was there but could
not be induced to say positively that he
had seen Durrant there. although he had
identified him at the prison some days
before.
No, he was not sure that he had seen
Durrant at the inquest before he took
the stand. Said Duprey:

identify Durrant you stood and looked all
