The Doctors Duty.

Fe must first examine his patient by
the light of science, to determine where
and what the trouble is. He must de-
termine and prescribe precisely the
kind of drugs needed to affect a cure.
He must direct the doses and leave
no room for doubt on the part of the
patient or druggist who compounds the
prescription. There his duty ends.

Sergeant Mcdonald asked them what

Mcdonald looked from one to the

They were scantily clad, pinched with

Drunk While on the Bench.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 15.-The evidence
in the Sweat investigation was con-
Guided this afternoon with a statement
, from the judge himself Congressman
elect William A. Howard appeared as
a witness for Judge Seaborn Rees and
the latter's case will be concluded to-
morrow.
Judge Joel Sweat in his statement
said that he always had admitted
that he was under the influence of
champagne at the bankers banquet on
st. SimonS island, but he denied that
he was drunk at any other time on the
bench. The judge went into the de-
tails of his visit to Indian Spring. and
told of his meeting with Miss Brisley
and Mrs Crosby. He denied that he
had ever made any improper remark
to either.
Mr.. Howard, testifying in the case
of Judge Rees, stated that the Judge
was never drunk on the bench. and he,
as solicitor, had attended nearly all
the courts. Senator Carter asked the
witness if he We're not a drinking man
himself, and the congressman-elect re-
piled holly.
Chairman Fielder raped sharply
with his gavel and for a minute there
was some excitement, but no collision.
The evidence in the Rees case will be
completed tomorrow. 1t is regarded
as certain that the report will be adj

England and America-Haunted
by Fear of Capture at Every Turn,
He Finally Surrenders Himself
A Romantic" Career.

Napa, Cal. Jan. 15.-Murderer Will
lam NJ. Roe was hanged today at lis
a. m. He was nervy to the end and
did not falter on the gallows.
The crime for which Roe was exc
cuted was the murder of Mrs. John
Q. Greenwood, wife of a prominent res
ident of Napa.
On the evening of Feb. g., 1891, Cap
tain Greenwood, while at work in his
yard, was accosted by Roe and a man
named Carl Schmidt. Greenwood was
ordered into the house where he was
bound hand and foot and compelled to
drink from a bottle carried by Roe.
Just then Mrs. Greenwood, who had
been visiting at a neighborS drove into
the yard. She was compelled to drink
of the drug contained in the bottle also.
Captain Greenwood lost consciousness
and Mrs. Greenwood died from the eff
fectS of the poison.
Meantime the murderers had driven
to Napa. Finding Greenwood alive
when they returned, they knocked him
head. Greenwood feigned death and
the men again departed driving away
i'll Mrs. GreenWood'S buggy.
Schmidt was captured two years ago
and is now serving a life sentence at
San Quentin penitentiary.
Roe eluded the officers until last
September when he was arrested at
Los Angeles upon his own confession.
He boosted of having committed a
of murders. including that of
Mrs. Greenwood. He was tried in No
Vember last for the latter crime and
sentenced to be hanged.

VILE FAKING.
HOW ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS
IS MADE.
Mail Matter of an Ancient Age Re
hashed and Sent Out as a Cable
From Yokohama-A Great
News Service.

New York, Jan. ia rare specimen
of reckless taking was furnished by
the Chicago Associated Press on Mon
day in an alleged cable dispatch from
Yokohama, 81 column in length, four
lines of which were devoted to an
nouncing the arrest and subsequent
confession of Miss Mary Jacob, for
merly governess in the, family of the
late Walter RAYMOND Hallowell Carew
for whose murder his widow is now on
trial in Yokohama. With the exception
of this announcement the entire dis
patch viii doubtless be recognized by
neWSpa per readers, and certainly by
newspaper workers, as a rehaSh of the
mail matter from Yokohama concern
ing the case which has been published
in the American newspapers from time
to time since the death of Carew in
October. Even so, it might have es-
capped further notice except as an ex-
ample of impotence in palming off
warmed-up mail communications for
genuine cable news if the fal1ir had
been content to 'let it go at that" His
delight at seeing his creation in print.
however, made him holder, and next
day he sent out paragraph, dated
y Yokohama, of course, making the posi-
tive statement that the trial of Mrs
Carew had been brought TO a dra-
matte close by the appearance and con-
fessiOn in court of Miss Jacob that she
was the real murdereSs.'
Even this, too, might have passed
muster, but unfortunately for the ro-
n2ancer of the Chicago Associated
Press, he took a day off on Thursday,
when it appears the office actually did
receive a cable dispatch from Yoko-
hama, which failed to bear out in a
single particular the statements con-
tanned in the two ''cable dispatches
previously sent out. The sub" who
was presiding over the imag inary bu-
-eau in the fakir's absence was not
equal to the emergency. and sent the
dispatch out. but he did not make a
column of it. 1t did not require a
column to inform the clients of the
Associated Press that they
had been imposed upon by the fakir;
hat there was not a word of truth in
he statements contained in the alleged
able dispatches from Yokohama.
Eight lines were sufficient to let the
at out of the bag, into which the fakir
lad put him. Few words were neces-
;ary to tell that Miss Jacob had not
confessed, although an announcement
o that effect had been made public"
~ the fal1ir, and also to state as a
natter of fact that the trial had not |
been brought to a dramatic close" |
1ut was still in progress.

Marinette. Wis, Jan. 15.-About 90
fishermen went out upon the ice at
Green Bay to set their nets this morn
ing, when a heavy wind sprung up
and the ice began to move about.
Boats were sent to their rescue and all
but five of the imperilled fishermen
were brought ashore in safety.
The names of the probable victims
are: Ed Hoffman, Nels Matson,
Charles Neelan, Manuel Holgren and
Johnson. Three of them have families
The men were unaware of their peril,
while the ice on which they stood
drifted rapidly eastward They were
several miles from the break before
rescuing parties in two boats started
after them. One of the boats returned
at o'clock with no news, and the
second rescuing party is in great dan
ger No aid can reach the drifting
prisoners tonight All of them live at
Menekaune where the piers are lined
with people waiting for news. The ice
was believed to be safe, because a team
passed over it to Sturgeon bay three
days ago. Hundreds of people will be
deprived of their only means of sup
port by the loss of the nets, which
were placed on the broken ice. There
is one hope of safety for the occupants
of the ice foe, in the fact that they
had skates on and may reach the
opposite shore The fishermen say the
only chance of their cO-labOrerS is in
reaching Green island

Pittsburg, Jan. Ex-senator Sherman
passed through Pittsburg tonight en-
route from Canton to Washington. On
the subject of Cuba Senator Sherman
said:
1T begins to look as though Spain
.sould grant Cuba some kind of au-
stonomy, which viii speedily end the
Mar. If the Spanish government would
giant TO the people of Cuba the same
rights that are accorded to the people
of Spain, it would have much to do
with ending the struggle. l am in
favor of non-interference with the af
fairs of Cuba About all we want to
do is to buy products of the island
and sell her all the goods we can. I
do not believe there is any reliable
news coming from the war. We have
no knowledge OF what our. represent
alive, Mr.. Lee. reported to the presi-
dent except as might be inferred from
the message. and one can readily IN
derstand that it might be embarrassing
to him in his relations with the Span
ish authorities at Havana if the full
text of his report were made public
We do know, however. that the reports
from Cuba, published in the news
papers every morning, are very I'M
reliable"
How about an extra session of con-
gress?" Senator Sherman was asked.
1T. is absolutely certain that we viii
have an extra session, and the earlier
it IS held, the better. 1t is very neces-
sary that we should have a prompt
re- adjustment of the tariff, and it is
probable that the extra session VIII
be confined to tariff legislation ex-
though you know congress
can consider any subject. once it is
called in session"
Who VIII probably succeed you,
senator, as chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee"
Probably Senator Cushman X Da-
Wis of Minnesota, though Senator Will
lam 2. Frye of Maine is next in or

SO out of every 100 privates of the late

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 15.-The

That's pretty quick work. paying a

When the bank closed its liabilities
were estimated at s12,OOO,O0O but these

LLOYD rs SHORT.
Retiring Treasurer of Yankton
County, S. D.. in a Bad Boat

Yankton. S. D., Jan. 15.-The COM
missioners of Yankton county claim
that the retiring treasurer, Lloyd, is
short in his accounts, and will at once
begin action against his bondsmen to
secure the amount. The case is a
novel one in many respects. The de-
felt comes from the fact that Lloyd
neglected to collect personal property
taxes, which the law of 1893 provides
shall be collected Mr.. Lloyd says that
to make these collections would neces-
sarily entail a good deal of expense,
and that as the law made no provision
for recompensing him for this extra
expense, he had allowed it TO go by
default. The board is advised by the
county. attorney that the treasurer's
bondsmen are holden for his perform
ance of this duty, and they will not
accept his final report nor release his
bonds until some satisfactory adjust
ment of the matter is made. The case
will probably be taken into the courts
