A GANG OF
Several OF Them Observation-Disclosures
as TO Murders and RObberies

Kansas City, Mo-, March 2S.-The
Star today prints a three column story
regarding the arrest of a remarkable
gang of Kansas criminals who have
for years lived by means of robbery
and murder. One Of the gang is be-
lieved to be the murderer of JOS. New,
who was killed in Greenwood county,
Kansas, two years ago. for which
News wife and George H. Dobbs are
now serving life sentences. So firmly
does Warden Lands, of the Kansas
~penitentiary, believe in the innocence
Of Mrs. New and Dobbs that he will
Immediately urge Governor Stanley to
pardon them. Frank Altgood, alleged
to be the rea murderer, is in Jail at
lola, Kansas, under a charge of for
gerry. Alvin Billiard, serving an eight
year sentence in the Kansas peniten-
tiary for horse stealing, a confessed
that he, Altgood and Turner were the
murderers of New and that Mrs. New
n Dobbs are absolutely innocent.
Turner has not been found. It seems
that the very men who murdered New
n robbed his dead body conspired
afterward to convict the widow and
Dobbs. The supposed murderer, Alt
good, according to Billiard, even went
so far as to try to get on the jury
which convicted them. Billiard goes on
to say that he, Altgood and Turner
were members of an organized gang
of thieves and murderers that operated
in southeastern Kansas.
AS a result Of his confession, eigh-
teen stolen horses, a bag of counter
felt silver dollars and a counterfeiting
outfit have been recovered. Beside
Altgood, B. L.. Mathes. Mary Mathes
and Herbert Simpson are under arrest.
Fifty other horses stolen by the gang
have been located. The officers are on
trail of other members of the gang.
Billiard also alleges thai Altgood MUIR

in 1889. Officers who have been work
ing on the case have corroborated most
of Billiards. statements.

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but II way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cifc cures Catarrh permanently, forit is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

Hold q State Convention Today 20
Adopt Platform ON Proposed Consti-
tutlonal Amendments-ProposalS Of
P0pulfSts Rejected

POpulfsts Rejected
Montgomery, Ala, March 2s.-The
democrats OF Alabama hold their
convention here tomorrow TO nominate
delegates from the state at large to
the constitutional convention and put
forth the party's platform on this i'm
portant issue. The democratic state
executive committee, in session tonight
rejected the proposition Of the popu-
lists, which was that il h populists
were given the same number Of dele
gates in the convention as they now
have senators in the state legislature
seven-they would not make the fight
against the constitutional convention.
The committee also refused to submit
the question to the state convention
tomorrow. The prospects are that the
convention will be we'll attended and
harmonious.
There scarcely remains a doubt that
the convention will declare for a sub
mission of the constitution TO be adopt
ed to the people for ratification. Anoth-
er proviso will also probably be one
providing against removal Of the state
capital from Montgomery to Birming-
ham.
The suffrage plank may also be de-
cided upon. a clause will probably be
adopted, providing against the dis
reimbursement by any means of men
who have borne arms in defense of
their country, this provision to include,
of course, confederate veterans.
1t is proposed to satisfy illiterate
white farmers in north Alabama, by
providing that where one cannot read
or write he snail be allowed to vote if
he pays taxes on as much as $500 worth
Of property. With these provisos,
which it is easily seen would give prac-
tically every white man the right to
vote and eliminate only the illiterate
negro of the farming belt, it is be-
lieved the suffrage plank could be in
c~orporated. The republicans have
definitely decided to oppose the move
ment and have stated that their COM
mittee, which meets here April LIST,
will formulate plans to that end.

Rear Admiral Kautz Writes Letter Com
cerning His Position at Samoa which
May Hurt Germany's Feelings.

Cincinnati, April 27.-A letter written
by Rear Admiral Kautz TO his cousin,
Mrs. Charles N, Lindley, of Cincinnati,
has been made public by the recipient,
1t is dated March and is in the easy
vein OF a relatives private correspond
ence. In the letter he says;
You will probably read lot OF stun about me
In various newspapers, but can assure you
that am all right and have done nothing that
or my friends may be ashamed Of unless II Is
the making OF king, which am obliged TO do
To-day. But he IL very inoflensive sort OF
young Fellow native OF 10 years. He wears
French ndmiral's cooked hat but no shoes
or stockings or trousers; still, considering the
torrid weather he looks very well In this cli-
mate. / em not king here but just plain
boss OF the ranch" The German consul had
that position up TO my arrival, but since then
he has been very silent partner. / nm very
much afraid he does not like me--in fact, am
not nj all popular here with the Germans, But
am all right with the English and hope to pull
through with them. have no doubt OF being
sustained by the government In all have done.
Washington, April 27.-The publicN-
ton Of Admiral Kautz's letter referring
to his position at Samoa caused abso-
lutte CONSERVATION at the navy depart
ment and state department at first
reading, but there was soon exhibited
disposition to minimize the affair,
because 1t was clearly apparent that
the letter was nothing more than a
strictly private communication passing
between members of the same family,
Nevertheless, coming as it does
close upon Capt. Coghlan's indiscretion
and following the publication of Judge
Chambers letter to his brother, criti-
cising the Germans in Samoa, the opin-
ion was held that Admiral Kautz's let
ter could not have other than harmful
effect upon the relations between the
United States and Germany.
