Miss Shaw, OF Denver, a passenger
on the train, arrived in Sollna this af-
ternoon. She stated that when the

SUICIDE OF Ii HUNG CHANG
Discredited in Official circles-Nc
Reason for the Act.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The report
of the suicide OF Ii Hung Chang is
wholly discredlted in official circles here
and no Information had been received
regarding 1t tonight either by our gov-
ernment or at the Chinese legation. At
the latter there seems to be no reason
known to the officials why the great
Chinese diplomatist should take his own
life, which, in their minds. would be n
most deplorable event. His death they
would regard US a severe loss to China
In the present perturbed condition of
nEairs existing there. one"of the of
ilcills suggested the possibility that he
has suffered an attack Of apoplexy or
other sudden illness Incident to old age.
but confidence was expressed that the
report OF hts suicide was untrue.

LIQUOR CASES CONTINUED.
Attorney General Will Not Prosecute
Grimes and Childs.

Attorney General GODDARD has asked,
in the court of appeals. for an indefinite
continuance of the cases against Frank
Johnson, whose real name is D. K.
Grimes, and Nick Chiles, charged with
violating the prohibitory law. The
cases were appealed from the Shawnee
district court today:
In the johnson case the defendant
was formerly a joint and billiard room
loafer. For nearly two years he has
earned a salary sufficient to support
his family and has spent his evenings
at home. To have his conviction affirm
ed would make him lose his position
and would be the most important cause
of driving him back to his former
modes of life.
THE Chiles case stood side by side
with the Johnson case on the docket.
He is not selling liquor: is the owner of
the only respectable place where a col
ored man can find hotel accommoda-
tionS in this city. He is publishing
good newspaper for the colored people:
is giving employment to u or Is of his
race; and pays substantial amount of
taxes each year.
Under these circumstances I did not
deem it advisable to take different ac-
ton in the Chiles case from that taken
IN the Johnson case. Both cases are
continued indefinitely with the assur-
again engages in the liquor business. I
will ask for a reinstatement of the
cases and will prosecute them with
vigor''
Mr.. GODDARD says these are the only
cases that he has postponed during his
term Of office. Mr.. GODDARD said:
I believe this action is in the inter
ests of good citizenship and should not
and cannot interfere with the enforce
ment of the prOhibitory law"
