A Great Play.

Augustus Thomas exquisite play,
ARIZONA, produced with great mag
nificence and much elaboration Of de-
tail at the Academy If Music. is un-
doubtedly the dominant theatrical at
traction of New Ycrk's early season.
The play itself of course had already
proved its quality by its long run on
Broadway last season, but the produc-
ton given on Broadway was entirely
insignificant in view of the magnitude
of the one accorded the piece on Four
teenth street. The big scenes have all
been strengthened, and of the incidental
features, whole troop of calvary
superb!y mounted. is perhaps the most
popular. Wednesday and Saturday
matinees of Arizona" win be given
throughout the engagement, which is
indefinite.

MURDER AND ARSON
West Virginia Oil Town Carrie
nationized with Terrible
Results.

Sisterville, w. Va, Feb. 2O-This
morning word was received from
Stringtown. a small oil village in the
interior of Tyler county, that last
night a fire had started in the drug
store and before the flames could be
got under control, late this morning,
several buildings had been consumed,
and that John Clendenning had been
burned to death. The report was YER
flied later in the day and the latest re-
port from Stringtown is that two men
have been arrested for arson and MUIR
der.
It appears that there had been a sort
of C~arrienation crusade in the oil vii
lage against dives and "speak easies''
during the past two weeks, and that
warning had been given that unless
the proprietor of the drug store, over
which ~Clendenning slept, stopped SELL
ing liquor the place would be either
burned or blown up. The first report
received here over the telephone was
that the drug store had caught fire
from a gas explosion, but later infor-
nation is that after the fire was under
control it was demonstrated that there
had been no explosion and it is now
as~certained that the fire was the work
Of fanatics, who desired to rid the
town of an alleged "speak easy"

HUNTING HIS SON
Excuse Given by Official Found
in Raided Pool
Poem.

New York, Feb. 19-Behind closed
doors and with every effort to main
tain secrecy of the proceedings Justice
Jerome of the court of special sessions
today held an examination of some Of
the men held as witnesses as a result
of the pool room raid, which he and
District Attorney Philbin carried out
yesterday at No. 30 Dey street.
Assistant District Attorney Schur-
man limited that prominent city Off
cials would be implicated. Schurman
said this was really the primary object
of the raid last night.
|. It was in the interest of obtaining
some information as to the man who
was benefited by the police protection
to pool rooms, that the novel raid was
projected and contaminated.
Maurice +. Hollahan, president of
the board of public improvements,
who was in the alleged pool room at
the time 1t was raided, made a state
ment today that he was there looking
for his son, whom he had not seen for
four months and who ..he heard spent
most of his time in pool rooms. Hol-
]ahan denied that he was in the place
to make bets on races.

FOR AIDING ENEMY
Military Arrest More Parties
Charged with Furnishing
Supplies to Rebels.

Manila, Feb. 19-Captain James of
the Eighth infantry has arrested at a
town on the bay in the province of
Laguna, Florentine Ortana and Miguel
Ponce De Leon, agents of the Tahacal-
bria company and William Wash Pedro
Lorenzo and Victorie Sentane, en-
ployed by the Philippines Trading
company, on charges similar to those
brought against D. M. Carman, the
American constructor, namely furnish.
ing the insurgents with supplies.
The Tahacalbria company, the rich
est corporation in the Philippines, is
accused of aiding the insurgents often
and actively. The parties arrested
are prominent persons and the evi.
dence against them is very strong.
Fried Holterman, a Belgian, con-
nected with the Philippines Trading
company, has been arrested at Manila,
and Edouard Andre, the Belgian Jon
sui here and manager of the Philip
pines Trading company, has hastily
left Manila, with his family, on his

FOUR ARE FOUND
Search for Bodies of Dead Cumber-
land Miners Progresses
Slowly.

Vancouver, Feb. ia special from
Cumberland: B. g., says:
Six hundred feet below ground and
over 1, 900 yards from the foot of shaft
No. 5 a little gang of men were work
ing this evening in heroic attempt to
reach the bodies Of their fellow miners
who perishod in Fridays explosion.
Four bodies have so far been re-
covered. The first body found was
that OF Duncan McInnes, a Scotch
miner, who recently came to Cuber-
land. Nearby was that of his Jap
helper. These two men were lying
on their backs close together with
their hands up to their foreheads.
There are no marks of burning and the
conclusion therefore is that they were
suffocated by after damp. They had
evidently moved but a few steps from
their work when overcome.
Owing to the difficulty Of working
continuously in the dense atmosphere
of the pit, it was several hours after
the discovery of McInnes' body that
tho other two were found. These
have not yet been identified. They
are mangled almost beyond recogni-
ton.

arrest Of another man concerned in
the crime. He is the coachman OF a
family friend of Cudahy, and it is
claimed he has been acting very
queerly in the matter ever since the
kidnapping.
The chief Of police says this man
will. be arrested tonight or in the
morning and he expects him to throw
additional light on the matter.
Callahan is 80 years of age, and has
lived IN Omaha for several years. He
has been employed in the packing
house Of Cudahy Packing company at
South Omaha up to three months ago.
He has not been employed for some
time, but the police claim he has been
spending money freely and taking life
easy. :
In 1898 he was given a five years
sentence for highway robbery, but
after serving 18 months was paroled.
Six months later he was convicted Of
stealing and sent back to serve the re-
mainder of the sentence. Callahan is
held as man No. 8, as described in the
circular recently sent broadcast de-
scribing the three men supposed to be
the abductors and for whom there is
now a combined reward of nearly
$50, 900.

STARvE WITH
PLENTY NEAR
PITIFUL STORY OF POVERTY
AND PRIDE.
EXCEEDS ALL OTHER LOVE
Parents Yield Their Lives to
Hunger That Children
May Live.

Milwaukee, Feb. 2O-Two deaths
from starvation were reported to the
police today by Agent Freelson Of the
Associated Press. The victims were
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hoefer, who lived
at 632 Scott street.
Their sad cases were discovered by
Freelson Monday last. The couple
had sold most of their furniture for a
small amount of money with which
they purchased food and fuel for them
selves and two children. When most
of the food thus obtained had been
eaten, it is supposed, the parents de-
prived themselves in order to save the
children and being too proud to beg,
literally starved to death.
When the discovery was made the
Hoefers were in a frightfully enact
ated condition and the children sick
from lack of proper nourishment.
The parents were taken to a hospital
aud died, one Monday and the other
Tuesday.
Mrs. Hoefer is said to have a wealthy
sister, Mrs. Theodore Foherman, liv-
ing at 712 North Twelfth street, Phil
adelphia.
II is said that Mrs. Hoefer's last re-
quest was that her sister be asked to
care for the children.

Search for Bodies of Mine Victims Pro-
crossing Slowly.
Vancouver, Feb. 20-The work of
recovering the bodies Of the victims of
the mine disaster at Cumberland pro-
ceeds slowly. So far eight bodies
have been found, four being whites.
The most recently recovered bodies
are those of A. J. Payne, D. M. Davis
and V. Crosseti. These were found in
the main drive lying face downward,
close to a cave-in. They at first ap-
peared to have been badly burned, but
investigation showed that they had
been blistered by after heat. They
had apparently left their stalls and
were attempting to make their way
toward shaft No. 6 when overcome.
Several of the Chinese corpses were
badly bruised. h
All the victims whose bodies have
been removed were buried today after
the remains had been foramlly viewed
by the coroner. The inquest was ad-

WOMAN KILLED AND SEVERAL
MEN WOUNDED.
WRECKERS USE SHOTGuNs
Deliberately Kill Innocent Wife
for Attempting to Reach
Husbands Side.

WILDWOOD, Kas., Feb. 19-In a raid
on a "joint' here by 20 masked men,
heavily armed, late last night, Rose
Hudson was instantly killed and Will
lam Webb, one Of the raiders, was
shot through one arm and two or three
of his companions were slightly
wounded.
Two arrests were made today and
much excitement prevails owe the
prospect Of a still further collision be-
tween the factions. Shortly after 10
O'Clock last night two men entered the
saloon which is said to be owned by
Mrs. Michael Lochner. Warming had
been served on the proprietress to
cease business yesterday, but compli-
ance was refused. When the men en-
tered they ordered drinks, which were
at once served by Bartender Hudson.
One of the men raped loudly on the
bar and at this signal about 20 more
men rushed into the place. All carried
arms and wore masks. Half a dozen
shotguns were raised discharged into
the ceiling, apparently to demoralize
the keepers Of the place. Two men
rushed upon Hudson with guns
levelled at his head. He grasped the
barrels and pushed them aside, just as
they exploded. Hudson slipped to the
floor.
Just then Mrs. Hudson burst open
the rear door and entered. She
dashed towards her husband, whom
she supposed to have been shot. Hard
ly had she crossed half the interven-
ing space than another gun was dis
charged point blank at her head. The
whole top of her skull was blown
away and Hudson, regaining his feet,
bore her to the real room where she
died.
Ten men are said to have been wait
ing under arms to help defend the
place from the expected raid, but
when the band entered the place and
began shooting, the defenders became
panic stricken and decamped.
When the raiders saw Mrs. Hudson
fall, they, too, became frightened and
hastily quilted the place without at
tempting to destroy the liquors or
fixtures.
Sheriff Everhardy Of Leavenworth
was quickly notified of the raid and
today arrested John and Henry Will
son, farmers, charged with participa-
tion in the raid.
More arrests are expected and much
excitement prevails.

Pittsburg, Feb. 19-False and un-
grounded rumors caused a run on the
German National bank of Allegheny
today during which $3.50, 900 was paid
out to certain frightened depositors.
The excitement at one time during

LOOTED CITY TREASURY.
Milwaukee Made Victim of Wholesale
%Plundering System.


Milwaukee,, Feb. 2O-The Sentinel
tomorrow will say: Evidence has
been brought to light which shows
that the city. of Milwaukee has sys-
tematically been defrauded for years.
How much the city treasury has
suffered is not known exactly. But an
investigation which has been conduct
ed for the past two days by City
Treasurer Billow shows that the city
has been defrauded out of a sum
which is estimated any where from
$40, 600 to 500, 900 and may even be
greater.
The manner in which those impli-
Gated have operated was either to raise
the amounts Of city certificates given
to contractors for work done, or to is
sue fraudulent certificates, sometimes
in the name of living contractors,
sometimes in the names of men who
have been dead for years. The names
of members of the board of public
works and city comptroller were
forged to these certificates.
The discovery was made through an
accident. A representative of one Of
the trust companies, which have been
loaning money on city certificates,
caine into the city treasurer's Office
with some orders. They fell into
Treasurer Billow's hands and he i'm
mediately discovered they were not
genuine.

modestly declined to: be quoted, but
very strongly emphasized his disap-
prevail of the stories that have been
recently sent out touching on that

reports were more of a joke than of a
serious nature, to which he replied
very emphatically: "a lie is a lie;

MINERS ENTOMBED.
Thirteen Are Caught in Flooded Coal
Mine.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2O-Thir-
teen negro miners we're this afternoon
entombed in the coal mines of the
state insane asylum, about two miles
from Tuscaloosa, by a flood Of water
from an abandoned shaft, which
rushed in upon the men, almost with
out warning, and filling the mine 10
a depth of 10 feet. There is a large
force of hands at work pumping the
water out Of the mines, but little pro.
gress is being made, as it fills up al
most as rapidly as it is pumped out.
The fate of the entombed miners is
probably sealed. It is thought it will
take from "a to 48 hours to clear the
mines. At present there appears prac-
tically no hope, unless air reaches
them in a short time.
