THE ATROC|OUS CRIME OF A FATHER

Hutchinson, Kansas, March 20.-An
day when the coroner and his assistants
removed the dead bodies of five little
children from the house occupied by
John Moore, which burned at an early
hour. A coroner's jury investigated
the case. and in accordance with the
jury's recommendation Moore, the faith
er of the dead children. was arrestsed
on the charge of murder. The tragedy
has caused much excitement here, and
there is some talk of lynching the pris-
oner However, a lynching is not look
ed for.
When the fremen and neighbors
reached the burning house the father
was the only member of the family of
seven found outside. His actions were
queer and he would not talk. While
the building was still burning and his
children within the burning walls he took
a horse from the stable and rode away
When the firemen entered the house,
after having partly quenched the
flames. they found the five children ly-
ing side by side in bed on the floor,
ali dead, but not badly burned. The
dead were
CARL, aged twelve.
MARY, aged ten.
PEARL. aged eight.
CHARLES, aged seven.
LEE. aged three.
The corOner's autopsy held this after
noon, developed convincing evidence of
an awful crime. The skull of each child
was deeply indented ana from the dents

the children had been stabbed in the

England May Ask an Idemnity for the
x E,- Killing of Simpson.


London. March 2O--In the house of
commons to-day the Hon. John Philip
Stanhope, liberal president of the late
Reform union. who represents Brunley,
asked If her maiesty's government had
received report of the lamentable occur
renee at Manila where a British subject
named Simpson had been unfortunately
killed; whether the government was
aware that Simpsons family was par
TALLY dependent upon him, and whether
the government would endeavor to obtain
pecuniary compensation for his family by
friendly representations to the govern
ment of the United States. The parlia-
mentary secretary of the foreign office,
Right Hon. William st. John Broderick
replied that the mail advices with details
of the affair cannot be received before
April, and that without sufficient infor-
nation on the subject it was useless to
make representations to the United
States government for compensation.
Simpson was connected with the An
drews cotton mill and was accidentally
shot during the battle of Manila on Feb
%. He was looking out of the window of
a mill and owing to his white clothing
was mistaken for a Filipino.

THE SECRET DISCOVERED.


Cincinnati, March 20.-A local paper
prints story that the location of the
keyboard by which the Maine was
blown up in Havana harbor has been
found by an American engineer officer.
The story is that Captain Huston of the
volunteer engineers, who entered the
service from Cincinnati and to whom
had been assigned the duty of clearing
out the Notifications of Havana. had
discovered in the gun room of the
Quartet de Foerza wooden box or hut,
in which he found a gutta percha tube
containing one large copper wire and
several smaller wires. He also found
evidences of a keyboard having been
torn away.
Havana. March 20.-Captain T. L.
Huston of the volunteer engineers was
questioned to-day by a correspondent
of the associated press on the subject
of the story printed by local news
paper at Cincinnati, Ohio, saying that
the location of the keyboard by which
the United States battleship Maine was
blown UP in Havana harbor on Feb.
Is, 1898, had been found by him in
gun room of the Foerza prison, while
engaged in cleaning out the fortifica-
tions. The captain said the use of his
name in this connection was not au-
thorized. He showed the correspondent
cdDle WIN several wires running into
the harbor from FoerZa prison, opposite
Cabanas fortress. One wire was con-
nected with disused telegraph instIu-
ment in a neighboring government
building. Though the cable has not
been Investigated nLyse ,.igated by the United States
engincnss, the supposition is that it runs
to CaDanas, across the harbor and has
been used for telegraphing. There is a
remote chance that the wires in the ca
BILE were connected with mines or tor
pedoes, but there is no indication that
it had anything to 90 with the blow
ing up of the Maine. The end of the
cable sticking out of Foerza prison has
been seen by tourists for weeks past
Many soldiers have also seen the cable
and many have expressed the belief that
it was used to blow up the Maine.

view of the position Great Britain has
taken upon the promotion Of arbitration,
as shown by the Alabama. Bering sea and
Venezuelan arbtrations and the propos-
ais for an Anglo-American treaty of ar
bitration, her majesty's government will
take the initiative in submitting to the
peace conference scheme for permanent
arbitration, the parliamentary secretary
of the foreign office said in the house of
commons to-day that the government
would use its best efforts to promote the
principle of arbitration. but, he added,
that it was not convenient to give an un-
derstanding respecting proposals to be
presented to the conference.

I neck. The little three year-old, pretty
boy, had been slashed so deep that ms
spinal column was severed.
1t was upon these facts and the
strange behavior of the father that the
authorities base their charge of murder.
When Moore was called before the
coroners jury to testify he pretended
to believe that an exploding lamp had
caused the fire and that his children
had met death i'll the flames. He tes-
titled that he was awakened from
deep sleep by the smoke and he found
the house atire all over, 1t was IL min
utes, he said, before he recovered his
senses, and then he did not try to save
his children because he knew that they
must be dead, as the fire had started
in the room in which they We're sleep
ing. His riding away from the fire he
explained by stating that his wife was
away from home attending sick friend
and that he went to tell her of their
loss.
Moore showed little concern when the
jury returned the verdict charging him
with murder. The family came here
from Emporia about three weeks ago
and rented the little two-story house
in which the tragedy occurred. Mrs
Moore's father, M. w. Franklin, whose
family came here from Emporia about
the same time, stated this evening that
Moore had always been a silent, mo-
rose character, but that he appeared
to have great attachment for his chill
dren. OF late, according to Mr.. Frank
lin. Moore had been brooding over the
fact that he was out of work and the
father-in-laW seems to think that if
Moore committed the crime he must
have lost his reason brooding over his
troubles.
Moore, however, seems to be sane and
outside of his actions during the fire
there has been nothing to bear out the
insanity theory.

A TRt MENDOUS CUT.
Deep Water Sailors Wages Reduced
From $35 to &15.

San Francisco, March 2O.-The ships
James Rrummond. S. P. Hitchcock and
Agenor are tied up in the bay, all waiting
for crews. They have been burdened with
cargoes for Eastern ports and it was eX-
pected they would be able to get away to-
day. The inability of the shipmasters to
get their vessels under way is due to the
refusal of Shipping Commissioner Gwin
to allow the men to sail at the wages Of
fered, which are SIS a month. The COM
missioner thinks he sees in this gigantic
cut in the usual wages of SS5 a month paid
to deep water sailors, plot of the board
ing house masters to secure the difference
between $4,000 and $4,000 a month, and
has applied to the authorities at WASH
ington for instructions in the case.

STATE SUPREME COURT
Liability of the Directors Ap-

POWDER EXPLOSION CASE
Decision OF the Silver Bow District Court
Reversed-An Important Opinion
Which Will Have Far
Reaching Effect.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, March 20.-Minnie Cameron,
widow of Angus D. Cameron, Butte's
late chief of the fire department, who
lost his life in the terrible powder ex-
plosion of Jan. Is, 1895, to-day secured
from the supreme court a reversal of
the action of the district court of Silver
Bow county in non -suting her damage
suit against the Kenyon Connell Com
mercial company for the death of her
husband. 1t will be remembered that
when the case was tried before Judge
dividual directors OF the company, NJ.
j. Connell, w. r. Kenyon, j. e. Gay
lord. c. H. Palmer and W. A. Clark
asked that a non-suit be granted be-
cause they. as directors. could not be
held liable for the acts of the corpora
tion. This contention the lower court
sustained and Mrs. Cameron appealed.
This question of the liability of the di-
rectors for the acts of the corporation
was the main point to be considered in
the appeal. Unless a showing can be
made on the, second trial to the con-
trary, the liability of the directors in
this case appears to have been estab-
lished by to-day's decision. The direc-
tors claimed the care and storing of the
powder had been entrusted to the ware
houseman, Orcutt, and if any one vio-
lated the law it was he and not they.
