HOUSTON, Tex, April 2S.-In a fire
which destroyed a livery stable and three
residences this morning five persons were
burned to death and several others were
injured. The dead were:
Job Coping, florist, his wife and
three children. A negro has been arrest
ed on the charge of having started the
fire to get revenge on his employer for
having discharged him.. In the ruins
were found the bodies of the victims,
among them being an infant which had
been horn tc Mrs. Coping during the
progress of dhe fire. The fire started
in livery stable over which several
families lived. The building, a mere
she'll, was a mass of flames when the
f1remen arrived. A crippled widow. Mrs
Thompson, escaped from the building
and says she saw the Coping family lin
back into their room from the hallway
and that was the last seen of them alive

OFFICERS HARD At WORK
DETECTIVES FIND NEW CLUES In
MCORMICK KIDNAPPING
CASE
TRACING MYSTERIOUS PAPER
System OF Ferretfng Diligently
Maintained Betweeen Washing
ton and New York with
Good Results.

WASHINGTON, April 2S-The detec-
tives engaged in working on the Willie
Mccormick kidnapping case continued
their Investigations today. Several fea-
lures have developed wIich are regarded
as possibly significant. In addition to the
slip of paper bearing the name of Ger
trude, the detectives believe they have
another article which will emphasize the
Importance Of the origir4a clew. A pen,
which was given to Photographer Keme-
thy on Friday a week ago by one Of
the gypsy girls under arrest at that time,
and which, she says, was wrapped in the
paper when she found it in the horse
bazaar, was turned over to Inspector
Boardman tonight, and by him given to
Detective O'Connell, who sent it with the
slip of paper containing the name to New
York. For some reason Chief Titus tele-
graphed an order to send the slip of pa
per back 1t is suggested that he may
have done this to let the teacher who
instructed Gertrude Mccormick at school,
have chance to identify the writing,
which the little girl herself already has
Identified. A tracing was made of the
writing on the slip of paper in New
York when it was sent there first by
Photographer Kemetay, and it is said
that Gertrude's teacher almost positive
ly identified the figures on the reverse
side as a portion of an farithmetical ex-
ample which she gave the child to work.
1t was reported tonight that another
significant incident was said to have
been unearthed by the detectives which
may have some relation to the case
This was to the effect that late Friday
night, while the two gyIisy girls were at
the house of detention, an uncle Of
theirs went to a telegraph office and sent
long dispatch to some point in New
Jersey. The gypsy waited two hours for
"a reply, and a boy, who saw the dis
patch, is said to have told the detectives
that it read:
Impossible. You must wait awhile
What the question asked in the dispatch
was is now worrying the detectives
The detectives continued their surveil-
lance of the neighboring gypsy camps
today, and found one boy, whom. they ex-
amined thoroughly. He was about the
age of the missing Willie Mccormick,
but had none of the marks OF identi1ca-
ton on his body.

CATION of the circumstances surrounding

Kinney was last seen alive near Belo.t,

case, in way, is similar to that of

Alexander Jester, an octogenarian, was

his sympathy with the objects of the
society and agreeing to abide by the con-

plete tolerance and freedom of action and
belief shall be granted to each member

power to involve the society in any re-
ligious, political or social dogma.

to the constitution. are to form nucleus
Of universal brotherhood without dis
tlnction of race, creed, sex, caste or o'or;
to promote the study of Aryan and other

that study; to investigate the unexplained
laws of nature and the physical powers
latent in man. The time and place for
holding the next annual convention will

under the contemptuous eyes Of the court
officers.
Chief of Police Donohue says he will
urge Mr.. Cudahy to at once withdraw
the preffered reward of 5000 for the ap-
prehension of Pat Grove.
TESTIMONY WITHOUT A FLAW.
Grove might easily make an appear.
ance and claim the reward himself said
Chief Donohue, "as the evidence against
him is no more direct than that against
Callahan. In my eighteen years of ex-
perlence with criminals I have never
heard more absolutely convincing evil
dence presented than that presented
against Callahan.
There was not single flaw in the
testimony, and the evidence OF guilt was
overwhelming. From the information I
secured as to the sentiment of the jury
I believe its decision was based largely
on the theory that the victim of the af-
fair was a wealthy man and as such he
is able to suffer. Two of the jurors I
am informed. expressed the opinion that
no kidnapping had occurred, and they had
taken their oath as jurors with this con-
Yiction on their minds.
'I do not approve Of any reward being
offered in case of this kind and believe
that it operated in the Callahan trial for
the acquittal of the accused. Several
police had simply concocted a plot to
send an innocent man to the penitentiary
in the hope of securing the reward.
1.-THE $4,000 offered for the conviction
of the three men concerned in the cr.ne,
however, will stand
LIBERTY FOR CALLAHAN.
Gen. Gown, leading the prosecution,
says that Callahan will probably be re-
leased in the morning. The other charges
against him, grand larceny and false i'm
prisonment, the general points out, are
virtually synonymous. The state would
be obliged to depend on the same evil
dence, as that which has already been
brought out and there is doubt in any
event whether Callahan could be tried
again on. a charge so closely akin to that
on which he has been declared innocent.
County Attorney Shields will be guided
by this view, and Callahan's liberty Is
virtually assured He is now holding an

Callahan half rose to his feet, his lips
parted in a smile, His relief found no
sympathy among the audience however,
and he turned his eyes gratefully toward
the jury.
ROASTED THE JURY.
Judge Baker studied the wording of
the verdict for several minutes in silence,
as though he had doubted the evidence of
his ears. Then he wheeled in his chair
and addressing the jury, rebuked them
in the most vigorous terms.
"If Callahan had made his own choice
Of a jury the court said, che could

state for it's part had made the selection,

ANOTHER REPORT.
PEKIN, April 2S.-The report of Gen.
Kettler, received here from Kuo Lu, diff
fers from the other reports concerning
the German-French expedition previous
ly received. Gen. Kettler's report shows
that the Chinese troops did not leave the
province till they were forced to do so.
The entire brigade commanded by Gen.
Kettler met the enemy on April % and
inflicted immense loss upon them. The
report does not give this loss. The Ger
mans had one officer and three soldiers
killed and twenty-eight soldiers wounded.
The Chinese were forced to leave the
province and were fully demoralzed. The
French authorities stated that the Chi
nese had crossed the border of the prov
ince on April 10, in which case they must
have subsequently returned. Ii Hung
Chang says it is impossible to believe
that Gen. Lu-Kwang-Ting would have so
f1agrantly disobeyed his orders and anx-
iously awaits the Chinese report of the
encounter referred to by Gen. Kettler.
Ii flung Chang paid return calls to the
graduated Special Commissioner Rock
hill on the stand taken by the Americans
in the matter of indemnity. 1t is not
generally thought among the ministry
of the powers and Mr.. Rockhills efforts
in this direction will prove successful,
though most of them admit that they
must be guided in the matter by the in
structions they receive from their own
government
Nine Cinnamon will be executed tomor-
row in the American district for highway
robbery and violence. The men in -ques-
tion were tried and sentenced according
to Chinese law, but they are the first CT
such sentences to be approved by Gen.
Chaffee.
