missing Lake vessel Sought Tor BY TWO
Steamers in Vain.
Muskegon, Mich, Feb. 21.-The Cros-
by steamers Boyce and Nyack, which
left Milwaukee last Monday in search
of the wrecked steamer John V. Moran,
are now lying in the ice about four
miles south of this harbor and about
six miles out in the lake. e. j. Humphrey,
a member of the company and an officer
of the BOyce, Sunday walked across
the ice and arrived here about o'clock.
In telling of the search for the Moran
Humphrey stated that the two steam
ers left the Milwaukee piers yesterday
afternoon, a week ago, running due
west for Lake Harbor. After three and
one-half hours hard running they
made thirty-five miles, and during the
night they were carried about forty
miles north by the ice. The first land
they sighted was Little Point Sable on
Wednesday From that time on they
were at the mercy of the Ice and drifted
helplessly.
They were in the vicinity of the place
where the Moran was last seen, but saw
nothing Of her They have not given
up the steamer as lost The two steam
ers will endeavor to make their way
back to the west shore.

twelve miles from Toledo, last night,
smashing four of the cars and the engine.
and injuring twentyone persons, none of
them, it is thought, fatally.
The seriously injured were Charles

and arm; John O'Neill, fireman, Detroit,
badly cut about head and body and scald-
ed Twenty others including Orlando
Gatwinkel of Merrimac, Wis, received
slight cuts and bruises and most of then,
were able to walk without assistance.
The railroad officials assert that the
rails were tempered with, causing them
to spread when the rapidly-moving train
struck the curve.
The engine and four Of the FIVE cars
were thrown on their sides, the rear car
remaining upright. 1t is almost miracu-
lous that the passengers escaped with
such slight injuries. There was no panic
after the wreck and most of the passen-
gers and crew were able to extricate
themselves from the debris Relief trains
were sent from Detroit and Toledo and
all but two or three passengers continued
their journey. The track was torn up
for about $50 feet. The officials expect
to have it cleared by noon today.

HOME RULE FOR
CUBA AND PORTO RICO
President Desires Civil Government
Established as Soon as
Possible.

New York, Nov. 10.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: The first
task to which the President will address
himself now that the election is over is
the establishment of civil government in
Cuba and Porto Rico He is displaying
considerable Impotence to have this
work, which has been hanging fire SO
long, pushed through as soon as possible.
1he first step toward the establishment
OF civil government in Cuba is the COM
pletion Of the census and that, it is now
expected, will be finished by the end of
the month.
The Presidents desire is to have Gu
ban government in operation at once
SO that Congress may be enabled to
observe it's practical workings, and be
aided thereby to frame laws for the per.
manent government Of the island.
On the conference with Gen. Ludlow,
more than ON anything else, will depend
the future of Cuba. The President him
bans are yet ready for self-government,
but some of the members of the cabinet
are, and if Gen. Ludlow supports them
in that view, the future Of Cuba will be
assured.
In any event the end of Brooke's term
as encouragement is close at hand. The
department commanders will remain for
a while, to be ultimately superseded by
civil governors, if the plan works WELL
but the encouragement will go. Nor
is there any prospect that Brooke will
exchange the governor-generalship for
the position of civil governor. That Off
Ger, it is understood, will be either Gen.
Ludlow, Gen. Wood or Gen. Wilson.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is also advocated for
the post. After the appointment of the
civil governor portion of the army will
be withdrawn but how large portion
has not been decided upon. If Cuba does
get government, it will be mainly
due to Secretary Root. He has urged
the substitution of civil for military gov
eminent ever since he entered the cab
met, and has been the prime mover in
the cause of self-government
When the case of Porto Rico comes to
be considered, it is believed that the APP
pointment will go to Governor General

BECKER is HANGED.
Most A.rocious Crime Expiated
on the Gallows in Chicago
This Morning.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-August Becker
the wife-murderer, was hanged at IL :5S
a. N.
Becker's neck was not broken by the
fall and it was sixteen minutes before be
was pronounced dead.
On the scaffold Becker protested his in
nocence and declared George Sutterlin
the father of his second wife, was the
real murderer.
Confessed to a Priest.
Just before going to sleep for his last
night on earth Albert August Becker,
slayer of his wife, said Il want ia
make speech for about an hour and a
half from the scaffold and then | want
two bottles of beer and after that you
can take me off, This was his last re-
quest to Chief Guard Davis. Beck
er asked for two bottles of beer
many times. Yesterday morning Beck
err adopted the Roman Catholic faith,
offered by Rev. Amandus Reith-
meier of st. Joseph's church and
Rev. Father O'Brlen OF the Holy
Name cathedral. After baptism he made
a confession to the priests and it is be-
any public confession of the crime OF
which he was convicted, as was his inten-
ton.
Becker's Diabolica1 Crime.
Becker's crime was in many points an
exact counterpart of the Luetgert MUIR
der though Becker in his testimony stat
ed that he had never heard of the latter
case The motive was the same in both
cases-to get rid of the wife in order
that the husband might be free to marry
a younger woman. The method en-
ployed was also similar, both murderers
killing their victims by brutal means and
then endeavoring to get rid of the re-
mains by boiling and burning. The testi-
mony offered at the trial of Becker proved
that he had deliberately hacked his wife
to pieces and afterwards cut up the re-
mains and boiled piece by piece in a
coffee boiler on the kitchen stove Some
Of the bones were also found buried in
the yard Becker, like Luetgert en-
deavored to prove that his wife had dis
appeared without his knowledge. Upon
being arrested he said that Mrs. Becker
had gone to Milwaukee with a mysteri-
GUS friend named mike" Upon being
subjected to the sweating process, how
ever, he confessed that he had killed
her. ALI efforts to extract the details of
the crime from him were futile, the con-
victed man sticking to the last to his
statement that he had drowned her in
Lake Michigan The evidence upon
which he was convicted was therefore
largely of circumstantial character and
the progress of the case was therefore
followed with as close attention as was
it's famous prototype, the Luetgert case.
Ida Sutherland, the girl for love of whom
Becker did the murder and whom he
married shortly after the crime was COM
mitted, deserted the murderer when he
was arrested and attracted nOtOriety by
exhibiting herself in local dime museum
as Beckers "childwife."
