LAW PROFESSOR MURDERED.
Motive for Brutal Crime Has Not
Been Discovered.


Philadelphia, May 20.-Professor Roy
Wilson White, brilliant young instruc-
tor in the law department of the Unlver-
sity of Pennsylvania, was struck down
and brutally murdered last night near
Thirty-second street and Powellton
avenue.
More than a half-dozen arrests were
made to-day and tonight three men, two
of them colored, are in custody on sus-
picion of having committed the crne.
Professor White was found in an uncon-
scious condition and died four hours later
in the Presbyterian Hospital.
Prof White left the university at 10
oclock last night for the Powellton ave-
nue. station of the Pennsylvania Railroad
to board a train for Germantown, sub
urb. Shortly before II o'clock he was
found in an unfrequented part Of Thirty
sescond street. His skull had been crush
ed, evidently with an iron bar. He died
early this morning at the hospital with
out regaining consciousness.
1t has not yet been positively discovered
what the motive was. The only valuables
missing was the Professors watch. A
small sum in one of the pockets was un-
disturbed.
Prof White was native of Richmond
Ind, and was % years of age. He was a
graduate of Earlham College, Richmond.
Last year the University of Pennsylvan-
la sent him to the academy of law, at
Paris, to study the French civil law,
which branch he was to have taught in
the university next year His father was
a professor in Eariham College.

MAY FIGHT 1T IN THE COURTS.
San Francisco Chinese Oppose Inocu-
lation for Plague.


San Francisco, May 2o.-There are ro
new developments in the plague situa Ion.
No new cases have been discovered. This
announcement was made by the Bard of
Health tonight.
The inoculation of Chinese and Japanese
is queitly going on. From unofficial
sources it Is learned that nine japanese
and eleven Chinese were inoculated with
Haffkina yesterday and twenty-six Japa-
nese and fifty Chinese to-day.
Al all the citys exits doctors are station
ed and unless a Chinese or japanese can
exhibit certificate of incculation he is not
permitted to pass the city limits.
The declaration of the Board of Heal n
that the plague exists in the Chinese quar-
ters of the city has produced no alarm
outside of that section. TIE chief feat
ure of the situation lies in the oppositi n
OF the Chinese and japanese to inocula-
ton. ,
The petition of the Board of Health is
that the circumstances do not warrant
the quarantining of the Chinese district
or the compelling of its inhabitants 20
submit TO incubation so long as they re-
main in the city. Only those desiring to
leave the city are required to be inocu-
lated. The Chinese and japanese as
whole are opposed TO incubation. They
have retained counsel 10 contest the mat
Ter in the courts should the Board of
Health resort 60 forcible measures.
The Chinese consul general stated that
he would take no action until he is more
surely informed as to the plans of the
Board of Health or until some develop
ment in the situation requires him to take
action.
Business was suspended in the Chinese
quarter to-day. The Chinese say they
would rather die from the plague than
DOisOn.

A BOOM FOR FAIRBANKS.
Indiana Republicans Would Like to
See Him President.

Indianapolis, May 20-Indiana Republi-
can leaders and delegates to the National
Convention will go to Philadelphia with
the intention of starting boom for Sem
ator Fairbanks for President of 1904.
They have talked the matter over among
themselves and have concluded that the
time is ripe to begin. Since Congressman
Lands, in a speech before the State Cen
vention, announced that Indiana would
propose the name of Senator Fairbanks
for President in 1901. IL has been regarded
as almost certainty that Senator Fair
banks will be a candidate for the nomina-
ton. ~s----~--~"~t
Republican leaders in Indiana say there
is a growing sentiment for him elsewhere
and that unless something unexpected
happens, the prominent men of a number
of states will rally to his support when
the time comes for him to make an an
that the course of Senator Fairbanks has
been pleasing 10 the President, Senator
Hanna and others, they say, and the lead
ers in this state feel that 1t will not be
difficult to impress the crowds at Phila-
delphla that Senator Fairbanks Is the
right man for the party to nominate for
President next time.
1t is probable that Senator Fairbanks
will be made chairman of the Indiana
delegation at Philadelphia. There will
probably be a thousand Indianians at the
convention
