Kansas City, Mo, June Lulu
Prince.Kennedy listened yesterday to
half dozen witnesses Tecite the de-
tails of her killing of her husband,
Philip H. Kennedy, hardly rowing a
muscle or showing particle Of emo
ton. Later, without apparent cause,
she bowed her head and cried, but
only for a few moments. Ia stating
his side of the case, Attorney Nearing
for the defense said they would show
that Kennedy ruined Lulu Prince and
that he refused to live with her. In
sane from worry and remorse, she
then committed murder Prosecutor
Hadley, answering in rebuttal de-
clared the state would show Kennedy
was not responsible for the womans
ruin and that Mrs. Kennedy sustained
improper relations with other men
long before she met Kennedy and
almost up to the time of their forced
marriage.
The states first witness proved i'm
portant Frederick Bullene, a report
er, and Capt. Wade Munford, assistant
city editor of the Star, told of Mrs
Kennedy and her brother viii Prince,
coming to the Office of that paper and
requesting the publication of certain
story regarding her marriage to Ken
nedy Both admitted the marriage
had been forced upon the dead man,
Will Prince going so far as to say that
Kennedy had been given the alterna-
tive of marrying or being killed. He
requested that this fact be not pub
lished, "as it would annul the mar
riage."
Roland Butler, a stenographer in
Kennedy's office, told of the prisoners
father and brother demanding that
Kennedy pay her board bill, and when
he refused, threatening him and chas-
ing him from the Office, and of Ken
nedys seeking the protection of po-
licemen. Then he described infinitely
the scene at the office on the day of
the murder, when Mrs. Kennedy APP
reared and after receiving the refusal
70 live with her, shot him five times.
Butler said Will Prince struck Ken
nedy's brother down as the latter tried
to disarm the woman. Several wit
nesses examined corroborated the
scene at Kennedy's Office at the time
Of the killing, each testifying to the
fact that Mrs Kennedy appeared per
tactly cool as she fired at her husband.
When the policeman arrived and was
holding her hand she exclaimed: Let
go my hands, want to fix my hair
This she tied in a matter of fact way.

PROF. TUsBs OF KANSAS YVES.
LEYAN LET OUT.
FOR "HlGHER CRITICISM"
And Students Hold Exciting Meeting
and Make Fiery Speeches Asso.
ciate of DR.. Tubbs Says He Will
Pull Out Also Because of Old Fogy
Associates.

Salina, Kas., June THE trustees
of the Kansas Wesleyan university
have refused to re-elect Prof. f. d.
Tubbs to the chair of natural science,
which he held for the past two years.
The cause of the dismissal is what
is known among the Methodist clergy
as higher criticism" of the bible,
a mild phrase for heresy. No formal
charges were preferred against Tubbs.
The trustees simply left him out on
making up the faculty for the coming
year. Tubbs returned few years ago
from South America, having been
stationed in Argentine as mission
airy. 1t is said his theological views
at that time were responsible for his
recall and after his return he was
warned not to spread his doctrines
among the students. 1t is said he has
been holding private classes at his
home on higher criticism"
Following the close of the college
commencement exercises yesterday,
students held an exciting meeting and
made fiery speeches, demanding that
the board of trustees explain publicly
why DR.. Tubbs had not been reelected.
After several impassioned speeches by
students, some of whom are now filling
pulpits, Dr.. Hansel, a trustee. ex-
planned that the Tubbs case was in
the hands Of the executive committee"
The students decided to present their
demands to that committee. Rev.
Daniel McGurk, pastor of the Metho-
dist church of Jewell City, who is
closely associated with DR.. Tubbs, said
later: Or. Tubbs is an evolutionist
and is simply teaching the same things
that are taught in Northwestern Uni
versity and principal Methodist theo-
logical schools. There are a lot Of
old fogies among the ministers of this
conference who want 10 deny the right
Of man TO think for himself They
have been after me the same as they
have Dr.. Tubbs and l propose to
leave this conference"

HAVANA NEWSPAPERS SUPPRESSED.
The Discussion Prints a Cartoon Which Is
Regarded ms Libellous.

Havana, April s.-The Discussion
has been suppressed by order of
Governor General Wood and its
offices have been closed and sealed.
This action was due to the publica-
ton in the Discussion of an illustra-
ton having the title of THE Cuban
Calvary" representing the Cuban
public personified in Cuban soldier
being crucified between two thieves,
General Wood being represented as
one thief and President Mckinley as
the other, both being labeled with
their names. Senator Platt was rep
resented as a Roman soldier giving
sinegar and gall in the form of the
Platt amendment, while public opin-
ion, as Mary Magdalen, was weeping
ut the foot of the cross. Below was
the following inscriptions: "Destiny

The picture caused much unfavor-
able comment from the standpoint of
decency. The editor of the paper,

was released on bail. 1t is probable
that no other action will be taken
against the Discussion than suppress

Ii HUNG CHANG LEAVES pEKING.
Believed That the Emperor Is Displeased
with His Conduct.

Washington, April although no
official notice has reached here of the
reported departure of Prince Ii Hung
Chang from Picking for Shanghai, the
officials are inclined to believe it is
true and that Ii Hung Chang il real
ly leaving Picking for good and be-
cause the emperor is displeased with
his conduct of the negotiations. 1t
was known here that when Ii Hung
Chang was made one of the peace en-
voys that he was pro-Russian in sen
timent, but there was no cause for
complaint on that score until the
Manchuriar agreement came up for
consideration. Now it is believed by
officials here that Ii has proved SO
earnest an advocate Of the Russian
cause and has so strenuously worked
for the signature of the agreement
that his own government has felt OBJ
liged to deprive him of power to
further that agreement. If this un-
derstanling is correct 1t is believed
that an effectual check has been ad-
ministered to Russia IN her designs
upon Manchuria, for it is thought the
emperor of China would scarcely have
acted in this summary fashion had
he not received assurances of support
from some of the other powers.

EXPLANATION BY RUSSIA
Says She Has No Intention Of Hold
ing Manchuria

Washington, April 6.--The United
States government has received a
communication from the government
of Russia of unusual Importance,
bearing on conditions in China, and
particularly those relating to Man
churia. The document is of such a
character as to have produced pro-
foundry favorable impression and at
the state department it is looked up
on as the most salutary development
that has occurred for many months
in the problems of the east.
While there is an entire absence of
authoritative information, yet it is
understood that Russia now takes
occasion to give positive assurance
of the disinterested sentiments which
have animated her throughout the
consideration of the Chinese ques-
tions. As to Manchuria, it is made
clear that Russia's course never has
varied in the purpose to leave that
province an integral part of China
and to retire the Russian troops as
rapidly as safety would permit. This,
moreover, it is made plain in the COM
munication, has been Russia's course
throughout, notwithstanding asser-
tions to the contrary. But as signal
evidence of Russia's purpose, and in
harmony with the cars aspirations
for peace and harmony between the
nations, the Russian government now
gives assurances of the most definite
and satisfactory character as to the
execution of this purpose. The ex-
tent of the assurances can best be
judged by the impression made in
the highest official quarters here that
the threatened crisis over Manchuria
has been completely averted.
The Russian communication is the
more significant coming at moment
when the press advices from Europe
asserted that Russia was collecting
an army of 100000 men for the pur-
pose of holding Manchuria without
reference to the desires of the other
powers. There is no doubt that Rus
STA has large military force in Man
churia. so that, had she determined
to hold the province. she has the mil
itary establishment already on the
ground prepared to maintain her oc.

st. Petersburg, April THE news
papers here aver that the foreign

BILE for the continued occupation of
Manchuria. The Viedomosti says it

draw without some guaranty that
order will be preserved on her from

Europe, and she must continue in the
unpleasant position of occupier of
Manchuria."

present circumstances, special
agreement in the Manchurian affair,
instead of being an open testimonial
of friendly sentiments on the part
of Russia toward China might entail
