NO GAMES ON SUNDAYS.
Concessions Made to American Athletes Who
Object to Sunday Feature.

Paris, May Gothic representations
by Mr.. Albert CT. Spalding, the director
of athletics at the Paris Exposition, to
the French officials in control of these
events, regarding the position of Amer
lean athletes who desire to participate
in the contests, but who have objected
to the Sunday feature of the games,
have resulted in the gaining of the
concessions asked.
In letter to Mr.. Spalding, the
French officials state that they recog-
nize the manner in which Sunday is
rcspected in the United States, and that
in order to have the pleasure of the
participation of the Americans they
agree whenever it is possible to change
the finals falling on Sunday to a week
day.
This action on the part of theofficials
removes the obstacles found by the
majority of athletes in the United
States.
Mr.. Spalding will sail for New York
on Wednesday, He has suggested the
addition Of several events to the games
already decided upon, among which is
n 25-mile marathan race. The French
officials will probably accede to this
request.

SAN FRANCISCO PLAGUE.
The Frightened Chinese Resent incubation by
the Health Officers.

San Francisco, Cal. May 2O.-China-
town, Saturday. looked as though there
was a funeral in every house. The doors
Of all stores. restaurants and even bar
Der shops were closed and barricadcd
Window shutters were put up and scarce
~ soul was to be seen in the streets.
The Chinese. remained in their houses in
sullen. defiant mood. for they had been
warned by their consul that the board OF
health had determined to inoculate all
the Chinese with anti-plague serum. Sew
eral suspicious deaths have recently oc-
CURED and these the health officers re-
garded as Il sufficient pretext for once
more overhauling the quarter.
The Chinese, who were put to great
trouble and expense only a few weeks
ago, asserted that if deaths from buboniC
plague had occurred in Chinatown there
would be others to follow. Chinese Con-
sui Ho You said. Saturday:
Two months ago we cleaned the Chi
nese quarter with great tnoroughness,
and it is now in as good sanitary condi-
was all l could do. Friday night to keep
many Of my countrymen from rCsorting
to force to prevent the health officials
from invading their premises, and | still
fear there may be bloodshed, as the Chi
nese are dangerously wrought up over
what they justly regard as an illegal in
vasion of their rights"
Saturday. police officers surrounded the
quarter to overawe the Chinese and as
sist the health officials to inOculate the
Chinese in buildings where, 1t Is said,
suspicious cases nave been found. Inc
Chinese would not open their doors. sc
the doors were battered in. No resistance
was offered. the Chinese covering in cor
ners in deadly fear. They are afraid that
the inoculat ton fluid used Is deadly. One
cody. who was inoculated last week, died
in three days. No quarantine has been
established over Chinatown, as was the
case before, but all who so in or out are
examined.
The Chinese have declared all business
suspended, and in this way they purpose
to retaliate on the municipal authorities
1t is also reported that injunction suits
will be brought Monday. as well as dam
age suits to test the right OF the board
of health to inoculate the Chinese and 10
break into their houses to accomplish
tbs purpose. Chinese merchants declare
it is unjust discrimination and as illegal
as was the old cue ordinance or the law
against Chinese wash houses, both OF
which were declared invalid by the su-
prcme court
1t was announced. today, by the board
Of health. that there We're no new devel-
opments in the plague situation.

MAY BE MURDER.
Mae Butler, a Handsome Boston
Woman, Found Dead
With Dagger in Her Breast-Edwin Wrigh
Suspected Of Deed.

Boston, May 2O.-Mae Butler, an I'M
usually handsome woman. % years
old, and said to have been married,
was found dead in bed at the residence
of Mrs. a. E. Wright, SO Highland
Park avenue, RoXbury, early this
morning, with a dagger wound in her
breast, and Edwin T. Wright, son Of
Mrs. Wright, is under arrest on sus-
picion of having committed the crime.
The death was first reported to the
police as a suicide, but soon after they
had visited the house and investigated
the circumstances of the case, they
felt justified in taking young Wright
into custody, pending a more search
ing inquiry.
Wright, who is but q years old, says
he became acquainted with MS. Butler
at an Eliot street restaurant, where
she was employed as a waitress, and
where he took his meals. She was
taken i'll with peritonitis. two weeks
ago, and as she appeared to be with
out home or friends, he took her to his
home. where she could have care and
attention.
Mrs. Butler occupied n room on the
upper floor Of the three-story house
According to Wright's story, Mrs. But
Ter asked him to come and sit in the
room with her, last night and he re-
manned there chatting with her until
after midnight. Then she asked him
to get her a drink of water. He went
down stairs and on returning with the
water found her lying on her back
with the dagger in her breast, just
above the heart. He pulled the dag
ger from the wound and shouted to
his mother. who. when she reached the
chamber. found him standing by the
bed with the weapon in his hand. A
physician was quickly called. but the
woman had died almost instantly.
benjamin Wright. the prisoners
brother, notified the police that Mrs.
Butler had committed suicide. but
they found such suspicious circum-
stances that they declined to allow the
body to be removed until the medical
examiner had viewed the body.
But little is known Of the anteccd-
ents Of the dead woman. except that
she had worked in the restaurant
where young Wright went and he evil
IDENTIFY fell in love with her. A friend
of hers states that she was deeply in
love with the young man. whom she
met some months ago. and that he
cared great deal for her. Since she
had been i'll. however. she had periods
of dependency and at those times
feared that her love was not recipro-
Gated. 1t was thought that this feel
ing might have prompted her TO com
NIT suicide. 1t is the belief of the po-
lice that the woman rnull NOT have
inflicted the fatal wound herself, owing
to her weakened condition and the po-
sitiOn which the body was found. but
it is understood that the medical exam
iner declines to express any opinion as
to whether the wound could have been
self inflicted.
