TERRIBLE CRIME OF A MAN IN
MICHIGAN.
Kills His Wife, Uncle, Grandmother;
Mortally Wounds His Child,
Father-in-law and Himself.

Howard City, Mich, May 11.-Joseph
Harvey last night killed his wife, his
uncle, Robert Pierson, and his grand
mother. and mortally wounded his
three months old child and his father
in-law, John Logenslayer, and finally
shot himself, infiicting a dangerous
wound.
Harveys uncle and grandmother live
a mile north of town. The murderer
went there last evening. He asserts
that Pierson, his uncle, was quarreling
with his grandmother, and that he in
terfered; that thereupon Pierson
stabbed and killed the old lady, aged
40, and that he CHarvey) retaliated by
shooting his uncle.
After shooting Pierson, Harvey
stabbed him three times. Harvey then
returned to his home, two miles south
west of town. Arriving there, he shot
his wife twice. killing her. He then
fired at his baby. the ball going into
its arm. Next Harvey entered his
father-in-law's room and shot him
twice, infiicting, however no fatal in
jury. He then turned the revolver on
himself, shooting himself in the neck.
Harvey's wife, when attacked, was
sitting IN with the remains of her
mother who died yesterday.
The Pierson home presents horrible
appearance. Persons body was found
in chair, and that of the old lady on
the floor clad in a nightdress. There
are signs of a desperate struggle be-
tween Harvey and his grandmother,
but no indication OF fight between the
two men. Harvey himself today in
formed the sheriff of the murders at
Persons house. He was then arrested
for numbering his wife. He has moth

home. There are strong threats of
lynching.
It transpires that Harvey. on reach

NEPHEW OF GENERAL SKATER
DISTINGUISHED ARMY OFFICER
IN THE CITY.
Captain Aldrich, Who Had Charge of
the Deportation of Spaniards at
Santiago.

Captain James II. Aldrich of the
Ninth United States infantry, nephew
of General Shafter, and a member Of
the court OF claims sitting at Santiago
de Cuba, was at the KnutsfOrd yester-
day on his way back from Sacrar;enti,
Cal, which is his home. Since he took
leave of absence on March 10th he has
been avoiding reporters, for the reason
that Richard Harding Davis. Js1auSh
the columns of the New York Journal
and the San Francisco Examiner, has
been INDUCING in a great deal of crit
icism of the manner in which his
uncle conducted his campaign lie had
charge, as acting major of his reSi-
ment, being the senior captain. of the
deportation of the 23,100 Spanish pris-
oners and personally escorted Generals
fora and Linares over the gang plank.
He was eminently fitted for this duty,
as he speaks Spanish like native, hav-
ing been for four years lieutenant in
the Mexican army as an aide on Cen
eral HypOlite Charles staff prior to his
to commission in the
American service from civil life.
Speaking of the wofk of the court Of
claims at Santiago, he stated that it

stood that two other members were
also absent on leave.
1t has a large number of claims be-
fore it, running all the way from $40
each to So 100000. The s5,000,O00 claim
is brought by the Juragua Iron COM
pany. an American corporation, having
its headquarters in Philadelphia All
these claims arose out of the bombard-
ment and the destructive effects OF the
war up to July Is, when the president
issued his proclamation.
Respecting the valor of the Span
ish,' said Captain Aldrich. they are
brave soldiers, but they have beer
taught to believe, as one of them very
aptly stated it to me, that the only real
difficulty they would have with the
American soldier would be in catching
him. a sergeant of the Cuba battalion,
the Spanish crack regiment, said to me.

NO SCHOOL SITE FROM CITY
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REJECTS
EXCHANGE PROPOSITION.
Does Not Think the Offer Is Fair to
the City-Report Held In Abey-
ance.

For the reason that the exchange
was deemed to be on an inequitable
basis. the city council committees on
public grounds and waterworks last
evening declined to consider the board
of educatiOn'S proposition TO trade the
Eighth ward school site and the old
Sixteenth ward schools building and
grounds for the city's 12Xl2 rods of land
az the corner of State and North Tenn
pie streets, as a site upon which to
erect a magnificent twenty classroom
school building, so much needed in the
north central portion of town.
Councilman Robertson was the one
who dissented from the committees
findings. He remarked that il appeared
to- him his associates cared more for
the stabling of horses and the storage
OF water pipe than TO remove the STUN
bllnS-blOckS in the way of the erection
of a school building.
MIR. Robertson declared it would real
~ be to the municipalities advantage
10 make the trade, but the other men,
bers OF the committees could not see it
that way. How to provide waterwOrks
shops and storage and stables for the
city teams, if the exchange of sites
We're mace, was the perpleXing prob
lem.
1t was agreed however. that the
committees adverse report would be
held in allegiance until il were definite

ing would be located, or until the board

GROWING MORE SERIOUS.
Strike at Buffalo Not Near an End
as Yet

Buffalo, n. Y. May 1.-THE strike
among the members OF the freight
handlers at this port is gradually as
Stunning a serious aspect. There are
about 1000 of these men pledged not to
work for any contractor, and many of
these men are now on strike. Originally
a few of them went out in sympathy
with the grain-shOvelers, and tonight
it is believed that in case the scOopers
gain their point, they viii remain out
until their differences have been salts
factorily adjusted.
Several managers of transportation
lines said today that if the contractors
did not quickly demonstrate their abil-
ity to do the work of loading and I'M
loading freight boats. they would be
compelled to devise other means of re-
lieving the congestion of traffic at the
port.
AT the Lehigh Valley docks the COM
pany called in a lot OF yardmen and
other employees to take the place of
the strikers
At the Central, Erie and other big
docks, the work was practically at
standstill, the few freight-handleTs who
were at work being non-union men.
The freight handlers demand an IN
crease of wages from % cents an hour,
the present rate, to 80 cents an hour for
work outside of the freight houses. and
20 cents an hour for inside work. They
also ask for the abolition of the con-
tract system.

special significance and interest to it.
The letter is as follows:

which is legitimate, covering actual

considerable quantities, even at present

Chicago, May 11.-Captain Frank F..
Eastman of the Fourteenth United
States infantry arrived in Chicago to-
day. He left Manila April Is, on sick
leave, being one of the passengers on
the transport Sherman, which arrived
in San Francisco April so. He is on
his way to rejoin his family in Massa-

People in this country who talk
about the war on the part of the Fill
pinos being for independence. do not
know what they are talking about" he
said. 1T is a war by a few scheming,
selfish leaders, who have resorted to
desperate methods to secure a follow
ing. Not only have they lied and mis-
represented things in every possible
manner, but they also have resorted to
intimidation to keep their forces to-
gether The threat of death has been
held up as the fate of any who refuse
longer to fight the Americans. Even to
counsel peace was to invite positive
death.
1.-The Filipinos are brave, but they
lack the qualities the American soldier
possesses. Their workmanship is
wretchedly poor and they are poorly
differed. If they had been good
marksmen the mortality in our ranks
would have been something frightful,
for our troops have been exceedingly
reckless in the manner in which they
have exposed themselves in battle This
accounts largely for the fatalities which
have come to them. Time and time
again, when a good cover was offered,
our men would stand up in the open
and calmly pick out their men. OF
course, this is bravery, but it has been
the cause of many deaths. Had we
been opposed by foe skilled in the use
of firearms, / tremole to think what
our death lists would have been. But,
at the same time, this reckless coar-
age has gone a long way toward terri
flying and demoraliZing the F'ilipinos.
THE volunteers have shown the most
superb courage. 1t is needless to say
what the regulars are. They can al
ways be counted on to do whatever is
asked of them, and have proved them
selves to be the best soldiers in the
world. In my opinion, the war is nearly
over, and within a month peace will ce
establish in IuZOu"
