OMAHA, June 3.-Major Mortimer
Higley of Cedar Rapids, Ia, is en-
route from Hawaii. Higley is an in
innate friend of President Dole and
has been in the republic some time and
asserts that the life of the present ad.
ministration is very limited unless
some Of the powers come to its rescue.
He says:
"They have thoroughly organized
republic in every part, but the more in.
telligent class realize that it is pro-
visional one, necessarily. The senti-
ment in favor of annexation is strong.
The most kindly feelings are cherished
toward the United States among the
natives as we'll US the rest Of the popu.

States docs not annex the islands
Japan will. You know what the
Effect of tho Late War

however. are allowed to vote, with

WAsHrSGroN, Juna 3.--If there wer o

The Agent OF thu ship Says She Was
Loaded All Right.
Ban FRANCISCO, June 3.-The condi'
ton OF the Colima when' she left
MaZatlan is an important one in view
az the kilograms received here. In
these dispatches from three different
sources comes the statement that the
cargo of the Colima shifted and that
she steamer was top heavy because OF
she der 4 load. These statements come
from survivors, who related them on
the San Juan and at Mazatlan; from
Mazanillo, where some of the survivors
remain, and from information given to
George H. Herbert, manager Of the
Mazanillo and Colima railroad. who
had sent much OF the news of the
wreck by way Of the City Of Mexico.
The question is, was the loss Of the
Colilra due to the
Hs, bad Slowing of Cargo
and to deck load too great for the
steamer to bear in heavy sea. Alex
ander Center, tho general agent Of the
Pacific Mail Steamship company in
this city, said positively that he does
not believe the statement that the
cargo had shifted during the gale and
he declared that the Colima was loaded
in the best possible manner and was
anything but overloaded when she
passed out Of the harbor of San Fran
cisco on May Is. Mr.. Center denied
that the Colima carried dynamite,
but there was quantity Of gunpowder
on board which was stored in the

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER KILLED

Deed Supposed to Have Been Done by a
Discharged Lunatic.
M1NNEAPoL1s, June ga terrible
tragedy occurred in the room over
Hurst's drug store, 1929 Nicollet ave.
nue.. The rooms were occupied by Mrs.
Martha Elias, widow IS years old,
and her daughter Annie. Shortly after
& o'clock q. m. a young man in the
drug store heard pistol shot. This
was followed by another shot five or
ten minutes later ,,.s.. ....-.. '~3,.s=
g policeman. y, coming up at the time g
the two went upstairs. They forced
the door open and the bodies of the two
women were found on the bed. The
girl was under the clothes, the mother
on the outside. The girl had been shot
behind the ear The upper part of Mrs.
Elias head had been shot off. The
shot had entered between the eyes. It
was at first thought to be case of
murder and suicide. Later develop
melts, however, indicate that
It Was Double Murder.
Loren D. Elias, son of Mrs. Elias, is
suspected Of committing the crime. He
was discharged from the St. Peter
asylum May l. He was not known to
be dangerously insane. There is evil
dence, however, to connect him with
the crime. His grip contained 500
and some clothing marked with his
name has been found in the rear of the
Elias apartments. A curtain in the
kitchen of the suite, which is at the
extreme rear, has been found badly
torn. There is other evidence to show
that, instead Of sleeping with her
daughter Mrs. Elias when she retired
went to bed in room between that in
which the bodies were found and the
rear Of the house. The fact that the
revolver was not clutched in the hand
of the dead mother also points to the
superstition that the shooting was done
by third party. The son was ar
rested for the crime, but denied it and
accounted for his movements.
