IRISH STILL ON GUARD.
St. Louis Catholics Watching For the
German Priest.

St. Louis. Mo-, May 1S.-The crowd of
Irish parishioneTs that has been
guarding St Patrick's church and rec
tory in East St Louis, Ills, Tor the
past forty-eight hours to prevent the
entrance of Vicar General .Cluse, tie
newly-appointed German priest, is still
on duty. This morning the church was
unlocked long enough to hold mass and
then relocked and barred and vii. be
kept so. the parishioners assert, until
the trouble is settled. They want an
Irish priest and declare they will not
permit Father Cluse, German TO take
charge of the parish.
The grounds of the church were pa
trolled all day and tonight a relief
guard went on duty. 1t has been ar
ranged that as soon as Father Cluse
appears the big bell of the church will
be sounded, and the 5000 members of
the parish Will come out prepared to
resist the priests entry into the church
or rectory.
1t is not known whether Father
CIuse will make an effort to fill his new
appointment One of the prominent
parishioners said today that the COM
mittee that went to washington to see
Monsignor Martinelli has received Ills
assurances that he would suspend The
of Father Cluse until the
matter could be investigated. Others
are afraid, however. that the German
priest will take charge of the church
if they do not guard against it closely.

JACK DAVIS PECULIAR CASE
UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH IN
IDAHO FOR MURDER.
Yet Another Man Has Confessed to
the Crime, Been Tried and Ac-
quilted on Grounds of Self-defense

San Francisco, May 1S.-The circuit
court of appeals heard argument today
in the case of Jack Davis, convicted in
Idaho of murder and now under SEN
tence of death.
The appeal of Davis is of more than
ordinary interest, because involving an
unusual state Of facts. After the con-
viction and sentence of the appellant,
another man confessed guilt of the
murder, stood trial and was acquitted
on the ground that he committed the
homicide in Self-defenSe.
Davis took his first appeal to the su-
preme court Of Idaho, but no error ap-
pearing in the record. the Judgment of
the lower court was affirmed. The judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed
The judgment is now attacked in the
federal courts on the ground that the
Idaho statute under which Davis was
tried. convicted and sentenced is I'M
constitutional.
Under the law the appellate court is
unable to go back of the record in order
to consider the main question of guilt
or innocence. Should the court appeal
fail. the only remedy left to Davis will
be an appeal to executive clemency, on
which application a hearing could be
had

to having poisoned his father, Wood
son Weaver, and his half-brother, John
Weaver, Tuesday morning. John
Weaver died, and Woodson Weaver.
though still alive, has but slight chance
for recovery.
This afternoon James Weaver, who
made quasi confession this morning
mingled with falsehoods, made a def
mite confession TO Chief Deitzch and to
Coroner Schwab. In this he told how
he bought rough on rats at drug store
and put it in the coffee purchased by
his father and step-brother. He named
the drug store, and the salesman at the
store remembers selling him the poison.
But most startling of all was his adj
mission that he poisoned his step
mother, who died suddenly last April.
Now, to cap the climax, he is suspected
of poisoning the Rev. John H. Jackson.
a cOlored Methodist preacher who died
last Sunday. It is said Jackson visited
Viewers house and the boy brought
him glass of water The boy denies
this. He also says he only meant to
make his victims sick. His mother,
who was arrested in Chattanooga, has
been released.

THE ROYAL ARCANUM.
Matters Discussed at Supreme Coun.
Gil In Washington.

Washington, May 1S.-The supreme
council of the Royal Arcanum held only
one session today, and discussed var
ious propositions for a change of the
laws and constitution of the order. The
most important recommendation before
the supreme councils in various parts
of the country was that the work OF
deputies, known as agents in other in
surance concerns, be very much en-
larged, in order that competition of
other companies may be met.
Another recommendation favored in
surfing members for any sum in in
tegral parts of $500 up to $4,000, instead
of merely for $500 or $1,000, as at
present.
California was represented in the su-
preme council for the first time TODAY,
having just established a grand coun-
ell, and the representative of that state.
George l.. Dixon, was given royal
reception.
The afternoon was spent in commit
tee work and sightseeing.

ASKS AID OF JAPAN,
China's Desire to Get Germany Out
of Shan Tung.

OF Shan Tung.
Tacoma, Wash, May 1S.-Mail ad-
vices by the Oriental liner Victoria,
say:
Nearly all the Toxic journals give
publicity to q rumor, apparently ema-
mating from Shanghai, to the effect
that China has approached the Japan
csc government with request for aid
to get Germany out of Shan Tung. The
suggestion is that the Picking authori-
ties have at last been reused to the
imminence of the dangers threatening
the Chinese empire, and TO the certain
ty of its disruption unless some stop
is put to the INSCRIPTIONS demands
now constantly preferred by western
states. Germany being regarded as the
leader in the game of aggression, and
Shan Tung possessing special sanctity
in Chinese eyes as the birthplace of
Confucius, there is a double reason for
the desire to get Germany out of the
field.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived by local mandarins from Chin
anfu, the provincial capital of Shan
Tung:
"a large force of Germans went,
about ten days ago, to the village of
Kuochiachuang, in the Lanshan hills.

done, the Germans set fire to part of

trate's yamen, declare that they will
not leave the city unless their demands
are fulfilled. 1t is stated by emissaries

mans are gathering a large force and
quantities of ammunition and food sup

Salt Lake City's delegate made long
and earnest speech. st. Paul continued
her merry tactics until the very last.
Her badges were distributed literally,
but with a degree of caution that was
amusing. Every conductor who re-
ceived a ST. Paul badge was led to be-
lieve that it had been conferred upon

was doing a favor to the St. Paul men.

Washington, May 1s.-War depart

Pacific fleet is now being overhauled

Secretary Alger had a long confer
ence today with the heads of the staff
bureaus of the department regarding
arrangements for the return of the vol
unteers. Nearly every state has re-
quested that the regiments be returned
to the states whence they came. as the
people want to see them as organiza-
tons, instead of individuals. If this be
decided upon, while awaiting a lister

these exist.

however. that the soldiers prefer to be

then will receive travel pay To their
homes and can make transportation
rates that will give them some extra
money
The government. however, has the
option of transporting them to the place
where it received them, and may de-
eide to follow that plan if, upon fur
Their investigation, it should be deemed
feasible
