WOMAN KILLED HERSELF
FOR FEAR OF PRISON

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Tn fear OF an
other term in prison or spending the ball
ance Of her days in an insane asylum.
Miss ida Craddock. high priestess and
pastor Of the Church of the Yoga" in
Chicago, and missionary here of her Pc
culiar belief, has committed suicide by
inhaling gas. Her body was found by her
mother, Mrs. Decker, by whom the sui
eide was to have been accompanied to the
United States court today to be sem
fenced under a conviction for sending
obscene matter through the mails. Fear
of this sentence and also that her mother
was planning to have her committed to
an asylum, led to the suicide. She left
a most affectionate note to her mother.
in which she said:
IT will not consent to go to the asylum
as you are evidently planning to have
me CO."
Miss Craddock served three months on
Blackwell island for circulating an OBJ
jectionable book and upon her release
was prosecuted by the federal authori-
ties for sending the books through the
mails. Before coming here she was con-
victed in Chicago and prosecuted in Phila-
delphia and Washington for circulating
her books. which were alleged by the
authorities to be indecent. Miss Grad
dock came originally from Denver, and
first drew public attention by her defense
of the dance du ventre at the worlds
fair, which she maintained was a solemn
religious performance. She was a wo-
man of culture.

WIFE FINDS HER HUSBAND
AFTER A WEARY SEARCH

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Dr. william H.
Bates, a well known New York physician,
who disappeared on August 30 last, leav-
ing no trace, has been found in London.
says a dispatch to the New York Ameri-
can.
His wife, who had instituted a world
wide search, met the doctor as he emerged
from Charing Cross hospital. In explana-
ton of his remarkable disappearance, DR..
Bates, who had been engaged in a tennis
tournament at Newport, and had returned
to his Office here to attend to some mat
tiers, told his wife that he had been called
to perform two operations and left his
office, carrying his instruments. He went
to a ship anchored in the East river,
where he performed an operation on a
man suffering from abscess of the brain.
No nurse could be obtained, and he re-
NAMED with the patient all night. From
that time his mind, he says, has been prac-
tically blank.
When found in London he had registered
at the Charing Cross hospital for the pur-
pose of taking a postgraduate course.

DEMON OF HARD LUCK
FOLLOWED SHIP DER SEA

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-American four
masted ship Shenandoah arrived Wednes-
day from San Francisco, after an event.
full passage of 123 days. One man was
killed on the voyage and two others in
jured and the ship had several combats
with the elements which damaged her
sails and deck houses.
The Shenandoah had fine weather until
July II. On that day in a slight gale,
while furling the upper main top sail,
a seaman named William S. Varney, OF
Quincy, Mass, fell to the deck, breaking
his leg and fracturing his skull. He died
on August and was buried at sea.
Several days before his death, the ship
encountered heavy southwest gale in
which a sea boarded the ship, stove the
rnidship house and the bulwarks of the
port side and started the house on the
starboard.
On August II wave struck the cabin
boy, washing him against the rail-, break
ing his leg.
On September. q a rudder head was
twisted off and the crew thereafter were
obliged to steer by tackles on a monkey
roller. Under this jury rig the ship came
into port.
Wednesday, while taking in the fore
sail Mr.. Taylor, the mate, was struck by
a heavy block on the head and knocked
senseless.

POLICE HOLD WOMAN
ON CHARGE OF MURDER

SYRACUSE. N. Y. Oct. 1s.-Mrs. VIII
LIAM Ktehl. seventeen years old, OF
South Onandaga was arrested today on
the charge of killing her brother-in-law.
Adam Kiehl. with strychnine. Her hus-
band died suddenly in February. It is
believed she was infatuated with Adam
and the night following her husbands
death asked him to marry her, but her
affection was not reciprocated.
On September 10, after a days work on
a farm at Probe, Adam Kiehl went to
bed apparently well and was found dead
in the morning. Pneumonia was given as
the cause. The sudden death OF the two
brothers was regarded as suspicious and
an investigation was made by the coro-
ner. The body Of Adam KiehI was ex-
humed and the stomach and other organs
sent to the chemistry department at Cor
nell university. Professor Z. M. Cha
mott reported that he found strychnine in
the viscera. 1t is believed by the coro-
ner that the poison was put in tea, which
Kiehl drank.
When Mrs. Kiehl was taken to jail she
broke down and cried, declaring her in
nocence.

structive fire that has visited Albany in

ing in which they started.
There were many thrilling escapes from
death and one fireman was killed and a
number injured.

company No. 1 slipped from the top OF
ladder and fell 30 feet, breaking his neck.
At the time the fire broke out q dance
was IN progress in a ha1 on the top
floor OF the burning building. Escape g
the street was cut of by the fast
spreading flames, and Is young men ana
women were taken out Of the front win-
dows and helped over adjoining roofs.
The shrieks of the hysterfcal women
created much excitement, but cool-headed
firemen and spectators soon carried them
to a place Of safety. Several women
were burned, but none seriously injured.
The structure was once the residence
of Former Governor william L. Marcy
and was one of the historical spots In
Albany, It was two hours before the
flames were pronounced under control

The special salon car reserved for the
American officers was filled with the mill
tary chiefs, their aides-de-camp and the
ladies of the party. Sir Thomas Upton
presented Mrs. Corbin with large box
of orchids General Young said:
''The trouble with English hospitality
is that they make you feel that you are
doing them a favor to accept 1t. This Is
a little more than we could do to take
advantage of all the kindnesses preferred
here. Our stay was a little longer than
we expected and now 1 am looking for
ward to getting back to work at the war
college"
King Edward asked the generals for
their photographs.
One of the most interesting stay of the
generals here was the visit which they
made at Marlborough to Former Empress
Eugene. who was delighted to make the
acquaintance OF the Americans. The en-
press usually retains strict seclusion in
her quiet country home and the occasion
was a complete exception. One of those
present said:
II have seldom seen such a picturesque
contrast of the old world and the new as
when the Empress Eugene. leaning on

cans over her residence, pointed out price,

BLACK TRIPLE TEXAS MUIR
DERER HAS The QUICKEST
TRIAL AND EXECUTION ON
RECORD.

NACOGDOCHEs, Tex, Oct 1S-Jim
Buchanan, colored, the murderer Of the
Hicks family, was tried here yesterday,
plea of guilty was accepted by the
Judge and the negro was legally hanged
within two hours after sentence had been
passed. Ten days ago the dead bodies
Of Farmer Hicks. his wife and daughter
were found in the Hicks home, and Sher-
if Spradley Immediately began search
for the perpetrator OF the crime. "A week
later Jim Buchanan was arrested and
finally confessed to the triple murder.
The news of the Negroes confession
spread rapidly and a mob Of several hum
bred people marched hpon the sheriff and
his deputies with the avowed purpose OF
securing possession ofthe negro and burn
ing him at the stale. Sheriff Spradley
and his deputies refused to give over his
prisoner and later he was Joined by Sher-
if Bowers, Of San Augustine county.
The two officers, through a ruse, finally
succeeded In spiriting the negro away 70
the parish jail at Shreveport. Buchanan
was next taken to the jail at Henderson
and a company of militia was ordered out
to protect the negro from violence. A
mob formed and It was feared collision
with the troops would result in serious
bloodshed.
Two more companies of militia were dis
patched to Henderson, and yesterday Bu-

HEART OF GERMANS
WAS OPENED To
'BOER LEADERS
NEVER HAS BERLIN ExPERIENc-
ED SUCH DEMONSTRATION OF
WELCOME THAT WAS Ac-
CORDED WAR HEROES.

BERLIN, Oct 1S-The Boer generals
left Berlin today after reception which
showed intense admiration of the German
people for the Boer struggle for liberty
and the popular disapproval of the Kali
ser's attitude toward the visitors.
Not i'm many years has Berlin witness
ed such enthusiasm. When William
The First and Bismarck returned from
the conquest of France the demonstra-
ton was as fervent and great as that
in honor of the Boer generals, but Kali
ser William, the second has never had
such a greeting in Berlin or elsewhere,
and il is said that the Kaiser feels keenly
his mistake in not having invited the
Boer commanders to the palace.
Generals Botha, Dewet and Delarey be-
haved with the greatest proprietary, TAX
ing care neither to offend Great Britain.
nor to reproach Germany for the lack of
sympathy with the Beers on the part
of German officials.
At the luncheon given to the generals
by the PRn-German union, General Botha
delivered an impassioned address, in
which he said:
1.-THE Pan-German ainzeight ought not
to be indignant at the conclusion of
peace. We were vanqulshed by famine.
not by the sword"
In the great reception at the Philhar-
monte house they Loyalty defend their
chief, ex-President Kruger. against the
absurd British ISLANDERS of having con-
verified public money to his own use. and
they described with pathetic simplicity
the sufferings of the women and children,
and the devastation caused by the war.
But they said not word that could be
construed as a departure from Nthe allie
glance they had sworn to Great Britain.
Berlin has never witnessed in its his
tory such a spontaneous tribute to any
one as that of the Berliners to the Boer
generals. Official frowns could not res
train the people from this proof that the
heart OF Germany beats in sympathy
with the crushed republics of South Az
RIGA.
Generals Botha, Dewet and Delarey
were deeply touched and General Dewet
said, as he started for London today,
that he would never forget the kind
words and hearty greetings of Berlin.
Generals Botha and Delarey started for
The Hague. A report is current that
General Dewet will have another inter-
view with Joseph Chamberlain on the
subject of the need of further provision
by the British government for the relief
of the Beers, and that Dewet has reason
to expect a favorable reply.
Before leaving Berlin the Boer gen.
erals had long conference with mem
bers of the German Boer relief commit
tee and a number of prominent business
men concerning the establishment Of a
bank in the transvaal with German con-
nections, which would facilitate German
trade and commerce in that country.

TO him a number Of names which he be-
ieved could not be fairly objected TO. He
found the strike leader disposed TO ac-
cept without question several of the men
suggested by the president. but he insist
ed that organized labor be distinctly rec
ognized, and in this view he was heartily
supported by the president himself.
IL Is understood that Bishop Spalding,
Of Peoria, was the presidents personal
choice for place on the commission, and
his selection was particularly pleasing TO
Mr.. Mitchell. as he knows the bishop in
timately, and has the utmost, confidence
in his ability and fair-mindedhess
The appointment OF Z. z. Clark, I'M
doubtedly, was at the suggestion Of Mr.
Mitchell. Mr.. Clark, whose home is in Ce-
dar Rapids, Ia, is the grand chief con-
ductor Of the railway conductors. and has
the reputation of being a man OF I'M
questioned ability and integrity. Six years
ago Mr.. Clark served as one Of the arbi-
traitors in a controversy between the
Grand Trunk railway and some of its en-
ployes, and Is said TO have acquitted him
self in a way most satisfactory to all in
terests concerned. Mr.. Clark is at present
the chairman Of the Railway Employees
federation.
The appointment of Mr.. Carroll D.
Wright as recorder of the commission is
said TO be equally satisfactory, and. in
fact, the statement is made on high au-
thority that as constituted the personnel
OF the commission is eminently satisfac-
tory both to the operators and to the la
Dor leaders.

STONE MAKES READY
TO WITHDRAW TROOPS

HARRISBURG. Pa. Oct. 1s.-Governor
Stone win probably withdraw the troops
IN the mining regions as soon as the strike
Is officially declared OF by President
Mitchell. and the miners indicate their
willingness to 60 20 worl<.-The governor
left Harrisburg early today and win not
return here before night. Adjutant Gen.
eral Stewart is the only official of the na-
tional guard on duty at headquarters, and
he declines to discuss the strike situation
or the probable time or manner in which
the troops will be withdrawn.
The cost TO the state Of keeping it's
entire military force on duty in the min
ing regions is enormous. and the governor
is very anxious for a speedy settlement
OF the strike so that the troops may be
withdrawn. The prospects are that If
he should decide 10 withdraw them by
regiments, instead Of in a body, those
regiments which have been longest I'm the
field will be ordered home in advance
OF the first and second brigades. which
have been on duty a little more than a
week.
