BOOZE WAS NOT KILLED
BY WEST POINT CADETS.
TARY COURT OF INQUIRY
THAT SAT IN THE CASE.
HAZING WAS PREVALENT
TO A DEPLoRABLE EXTENT, But
THE AUTHORITIES OF THE
ACADEMY BROKE 1T. Up.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The find
ings of the military court of inquiry
which investigated the treatment al
legged to have been accorded to the late
Oscar l. Booz. a former cadet at West
Point military academy. have been
made public at the War Department.
The findings of the military court are
summed zip in a letter written by Sec
rotary Root, which accompanies the
report. The letter says:
THE findings of this court of in
quiry, which are sustained by the evil
dence, show that the statements which
led to the converting OF the court, to
the effect that former cadet Oscar l..
Booz came to his death by reason of
injuries received by hazing at the AGA
denny, were not true. They show that
at the time cadet Booz was a member
of the academy, haZing was prevalent
there to a deplorable extent; that the
present officers of the academy have
shown commendalble energy, zeal and
efficiency in detecting and Furnishing
offenses of this character, II thai
they greatly decreased the practice and
improved the sentiment among the ca
diets upon the subject. The testimony
and findings of the court were placed
in the hands of the COMMITTEES of Con-
gress charged at about the same time
with the investigation of the subject
and the very efficient and beneficial
action of that committee, aided by the
legislation upon the subject, contain
ed in the act of March 2, 1901, renders
further action by the department I'M
necessary"

CNUsUAL INTEREST IN OHIO TOWN
ELECTIONS As PRELIMINARY
TO STATE ELECTION.
GOLDEN RULE JONES ELECTED,
REPUBLICANS SHOW SLIGHT GAINS
AMONG THE SMALLER TOWNS
.AND CITIES.

CINCINNATI, Chic, April Fair
weather prevailed in Ohio to-day for
municipal and township elections. The
large vote for April indicated more in
terest than usual in these local con-
tests. This was due to the fact that a
full state ticket is to be elected next
November al members of the legisla-
ture who will choose a successor to
Senator Foraker. In a few localities
legislative nominations were made by
popular vote. None showed any oppo-
sition to Foraker among the Republl-
cans and there was not enough exae-
ton to indicate any preference for
John R. Mclean, Tom L. Johnson or
any one else as the Democratic favor
tie for the s~enatorship. There was no
election in Cincinnati. Mayor Fleisch-
mann and the other Republican city
officers were elected one year ago for
a period of three years. There will be
no election at Dayton for mayor until
next April, the contest in that city to-
day being for police Judge only. spe-
cial interest was taken in the contest
at Columbus, where the Republicans
for the past two years have had all the
city offices. Governor Nash and for
mer Congressman Lentz reside at Co
lumbus and both took great interest IN
the contest there. Democratic admin
istrations were in control at Cleveland
and Springfield, where the Republicans
made hard fights to control the pollt-
ical machinery of as many cities as
possible at the state election in No
vember. Sam Jones made his race for
the third term for Mayor of Toledo,
Independent of all parties, and on his
Golden Rule platform.
While the Democrats carried the lar
ger cities and some of the smaller
places, yet the Republicans show slight
gains in the State as a whole. In the
three larger cities, Cleveland, Column
BUS and Toledo, the Democrats show
gains. which are offset by Republican
gains in the smaller cities throughout
the State.
At Columbus, where the Republicans
have had the city government, the
Democrats elect their mayor by close
MARGINS, while at Cleveland, ex-Con-
croeeroan rrom 7, Johnson Dem.) was
elected mayor by about 5000 plurality.
Golden Rule (Non-partisan) Samuel
Jones was reelected for the third time
at Toledo.

SASSIN COMMITTED SUICIDE IN
THE WIDOWS YARD.
BODY FOUND COLD AND STIFF.
HE HAD RETURNED TO THE SCENE
OF HIS CRIME AND ENDED
ALL WITH STRYCHNINE.

Special to the Register.
PENNSBORO, w. Va, April IA
tragic sequel to the assassination Of
Greed Jones by his brother a few miles
from here last Thursday night was
enacted last night, when Ard Jones,
who had killed his brother and had
escaped pursuit, wandered back to the
scene of the crime and almost on the
spot where Greed fell swallowed
strychnine and expired. The body Of
the dead man vas found this afternoon
only a few feet away from where the
body of Greed had been found, and
there was evidence of strychnine hav-
ing been used. A coroner's jury was
impaneled to inquire into the cause Of
the death, but it was evident that re-
morse had driven the murderer of his
brother back to the spot where he
fired the fatal shot and that he bad
there ended his w existence. as near
ly as possible on the spot where a few
days before he had ended his brothers.
The brothers had some difficulty
about some land last Thursday, and
that night while Greed was playing the
fiddle at his home the door vas
stealthily opened and the muzzle of a
gun was pushed in. A shot was fired
at Greed, but he was not hit. Greed
a after the assailant and several
shots were heard in the yard. A
few minutes later Creed's dead body
was found. ,Ns little six-year-old son
had recognized the features of the mag
who fired the shot, and asked his moth
er: why did Uncle Ard shoot at pap?"
Ards gun was found near the dead
man and a reward was offered for him.
He managed to escape pursuit and it
was supposed he had gotten away from
the county until his body, cold and
stiff in death, was found at his dead
brothers home. The body will be in
TERED tomorrow.

RUSSIA MAKES SERIOUS
THREAT AGAINST CHINA.
THE MANCHURIAN CONVENTION
MUST BE ACCEPTED UNDER
PAIN OF
sEvERING ALL RELATIONS.
THAT IS LITTLE SHORT OF
An ULTIMATUM.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Informa-
ton has reached here to the effect that
the Russian government, being serious
ly p%erturbed by the course of China in
not signing the Manchurian agreement,
largely because of the protest made by
the several powers, has conveyed a dis
tinct and unmistakable indication to
China that if this course is persisted
in, there may be an interruption OF
diplomatic relations between Russia
and China and a termination of the
present intercourse between them.
This is little short of an ultimatum
that China mist sign Or take the con-
sequence of a termination of her
friendly relations with Russia.
To what extent the United States
will take c~ognizance of Russia's dis
position to enforce the signing of the
agreement, has not yet been made ap-
parent. 1T appears to be the policy of
the Chinese authorities to consider
this as a subject which concerns the
powers quite as much as it does China.
The matter has become further COM
plicated by reports reaching Washing
ton that the Chinese authorities them
selves are divided on the course to- be
pursued some of the most influential,
including Lii Hung Chang, urging that
acquiescenee be given to the Russian
proposals, while others insisting on
rejecting the agreement. The attitude
of Ii Hung Chang is accounted for by
his we'll known friendliness for Rus
sian interests. In this case, however,
there appears to be arrayed against
him the strong influence of the south
ern viceroys, Chan Chi Tung and Liza
Kun vi, who oppose the signing of the
treaty. The reports reaching here this
morning showed that the agreement
had not yet been signed. Its status is
most peculiar. The time within which
it was to be signed expired last Tues
day, but ON that day Yang Yu, the
Chinese minister at st. Petersburg
fell in the legation and hurt his head,
SO that he was unable to transact
business. This misfortune has caused
much amusement here and some irrita-
ton in certain quarters, as it has been
recognized as a most timely means OF
avoiding a direct issue on the subject.
1t is not clear to what extent the Rus
sian intimation has gone, but i'll any
event it gives an urgenSy to China's
course which has not been presented
thus far.

U.s.. STEEL CORPORATION
INCREASES ITS CAPITAL.
NEW JERSEY CHARTER AMENDED
so As TO PERMIT S1,1OO,0o0
CAPITAL STOCK
FEE OF $4,000 PAID STATE.
ANOTHER CHANGE LAKES THE
GIVING OF A MORTGAGE
AN EASIER MATTER

TRENTON, \. j., April The
United States Steel Corporation this
afternoon filed with the Secretary of
State articles amending its charter and
increasing its capital stock to s1,1oo.-
0O0,o 600. The States fee for the filing
OF the papers was 500. 900. The orig
lnal articles filed some time ago were
%Nyly amended in one particular. This
amendment was made for the purpose
OF taking advantage of an act passed
by h recent legislature. Originally
the corporation could not mortgage or
pledge its real property or any OF the
STOCK OF any other company except by
the affirmative vote OF the owners OF
two-thirds of the capital stock. Under
the amended charter it is necessary to
have only the affirmative vote OF two
thirds OF the stock represented in per-
son or by proxy at any meeting % the
corporation. The reason for the
change is the fear that the stock will
become so scattered khat It would be
impossible to get twofhirds of the en-
tire stock represented at a meeting.
