HARVEY M'GREW
DEAD AT OMAHA
Former Salt Laker Expires in
County Hospital.
He WAS TAKEN SUDDENLY ILL
FAILED ONCE TO GET A FED
ERAL APPOINTMENT HERE.
(snecial to The Herald.l

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 2O.-Harvey n.
McGrew, one of the jolliest newspaper
men who ever pushed a pencil, has re-
ceived the call of go" and that under
circumstances which bring heart
pangs to many of his hundreds of
friends. His death was due TO paresis
and occurred yesterday, but was not
announced until today.
He came to Omaha about two weeks
ago and was seen on the streets appar-
entity as we'll as he ever was. Last
Saturday he was stricken with illness
and went unannounced to the hospital
at the county poor farm None of his
newspaper friends knew of his condi-
ton or he would have been accorded
the best attention. He probably went
there because of being too proud to ask
for assistance.
He was 81 years of age and had be-
come known to the newspaper frater-
nifty throughout the country. Six or
seven years ago he went to Utah and
entered into a contest for appointment
in the United States land office but
failed to secure the position. He was
given IN lieu of it d position with the
government transport service with
headquarters at San Francisco, which
position, so far as his Omaha friends
know, he held at the time of his death.
Mr.. McGrew leaves an aged mother
and also a half brother living at Gales
burg, Ills The remains Will be taken
in charge by friends in this city and
suitable disposition made of them.
Harvey McGrew lived in this city for
several years and was here only two
months ago, when evidences of disease
We're apparent to his acquaintance. He
first arrived in this city in 1897 and at
once became identified with the politi-
cal interests of the state. He claimed
70 have come here to settle the matter
OF the federal building site He was
appointed by President Mckinley to
the position of registrar OF the United
States land Office but his appointment
failed of confirmation because of siren
uous objections which were raised by
resident Republicans. who insisted that
he was a foreigner and not entitled to
the place.
The position was secured through the
recommendation of Senator Thurston
of Nebraska. McGrew succeeded By
ron Groo of this city in the Office which
he held only for short time. While
in this city he was married TO Miss
Heath, a daughter of Henry Heath, one
OF the oldest residents of the city. Re
Gently he was in the government trans
port service and for many years was
connected with various newspa pers.

4 ONDON, Dec. 20.-The official proc
lamation of the blockade of Vene-
zuela ports was gazetted this
morning and becomes effective Dec. 20.
The text of the proclamation is as fol-
lows:
Foreign Office. Dec. 20, 1902:
1T is hereby notified that as the
United States of Venezuela have failed
to comply with the demands of his ma
1esty'S government, a blockade by his
majesty's naval forces Of the ports of
La Guayra, Carenero, Cuanta, Cumana
and Carupano and the mouths of the
OrinOeO is declared and such blockade
viii be effectively maintained from and
after the Goth of December, subject to
the allowance of the following days of
grace:
For vessels sailing before the date
of this notification from West Indian
ports and ports on the east coast of the
continent of America: ten days for
steamers and twenty days for sailing
vessels; from all other ports twentj
days for steamers and forty days for
sailing vessels.
For vessels lying in the ports now
declared TO be blOckaded. fifteen days.
Vessels which attempt the blockade
will render themselves liable to all
measures authorized by the law of ma
lions and by the respective treaties be-
tween his majesty and the different
neutral powers
The foreign Office says the blockade
of the Venezuelan coast Will not be re-
Taxed until the powers agree on a meth
cd for the arbitration of their respective
cases and Venezuela shows a DISPOSE
tion to act sincerely.
Stress is laid on the difficulty in view
of the diversity of the claims in decid-
ing on a method of presentation and on
the prolixity of the negotiations which
will be involved before settlement is
in sight. It is not definitely decided
whether separate cases can be embodied
in one document, should the projected
arbitration take definite shape.

vENEzUELANs PUZZLED.
Notification of Blockade Came as a
Surprise.

Caracas. Dec. pa notification that
the blockade of Venezuelan ports by
the allies would be made effective to-
day was transmitted to the Venezuelan
government this morning BY the British
consul at La Guayra. The announce
ment was not expected and caused a
commercial panic. The rate of e1-
change jumped five points.
The people here are still ignorant Of
the answer Of the allied governments
to the proposal to arbitrate the Vene-
zuelan differences.
The government has knowledge Of the
answer through the United States lega-

son had been administered was strongly
advanced. The stomach was sealed for
chemical analysis.
1t is believed by the officers that the
woman went to DIR. Payne for relief
and that he gave her an anaethetic be-
fore performing an operation The Of
ficials maintain that in all probability
he left a sponge, saturated with chlOro-
fern, over her face while operating.
and that she inhaled the fumes until
respiration ceased. Then, seeing mis-
patients condition. he administered the
strychnine and nitro giycerine, the Of
fcers believe, and it proved too much.
Becoming alarmed, fearing the
woman would not recover, the doctor
locked his door and went to the police
station thinking the fumes of chloro-
form would have escaped by the time
he returned with the officers. This is
the generally accepted theory. for DR..
Payne could have called four or five
men from an assay Office not six feet
away from his door and could have
teIephOned from dozen different
places had he so desired

One OF the first persons to arrive at

had been summoned was Assistant

YOUNG WOMAN EXPIRES
IN PHYSICIANS OFFICE
Dr. Payne in Jail Charged With Causing the Death
of Miss Anna D. Hill.
Well known Teacher in the Lowell School Is Made the Victim Of
Shocking Tragedy.

MISS ANNA D. HILL. for several
MI years a teacher in the Lowell
school, died in the Office of DR..
E. S. Payne, at 142 South Main street,
at noon yesterday, under circumstances
that warranted the arrest Of the doc
tor on a charge of malpractice. 1t is
one of the most shocking cases that
has ever come before the authorities.
Miss Hill has been most highly re-
spected young woman, attentive TO
her duties. and the people with whom
she lived would have ataked their
lives on her honor. Implicated in the
tragedy is a man whose name is Nc
Murray, and who is now residing
in Missouri
Since 1886. when she came here from
Missouri TO teach school, Miss Hill
has been living at the home of Prin-
cipaI G. n. Mckay Of the Lowell school,
whose wife is second or third cousin
of the dead woman, at s54 East First
South street. She arose yesterday
morning in fine spirits and in usual
health. After breakfast she announced
her intention of doing some Christmas
shopping and came down town.
Went to Doctors Office.
This was between and O'Clock. At
about 1870 she went into Auerbach's
store and made some purchases, and
Immediately afterwards. as nearly as
her movements can be traced. climbed
up the dingy stairway at 142 Main
to DR.. Payne's office This man ad-
vertiSes as a specialist for Women's
complaints, and from the correspond
ence found in his room, conducts an IL
legitimate practice. He has, in fact,
twice been in the tolls Of the law and
has escaped prosecution only because,
il is said, the prosecuting witnesses dis
appeared at the critical moment.
Miss Hill never left DR.. Payne's Of
fee alive. Some time after she entered
the place he rushed to the police sta
ton and informed the officers that
woman had come TO him and gone into
commissions and he was afraid she
would die before the officers could
get there Although there were sew
eraI telephones in the vicinity and any
number of people, he left the woman in
a dying condition and locked the door
behind him in order TO notify the po-
lice.
The police hurried to the doctors Of
flee and found the Toman dead She
was soon identified and DR.. Payne was
placed under arrest. He made the
statement that while she was in con-
vulsiOns he gave her a heart Stimulant,
consisting of strychnine and nitrO-gly-
cerine. and this or some other poison
administered is supposed to have
caused her death.
Officers Were Suspicious.
The case was a mystery. although
the officers had their suspicious, on ac-
count of DR.. Payne's former record, I'M
til s o'clock last night, when a post
norton examination was had at Evans
undertaking establishment. 1t was
conducted by County Physician Mayo,
assisted by Drs. OdeH Whitney, Can
non. Harrison and McCurtain. and was
witnessed by Judbe Morris SOmmer, as
coroner, and police officers.
The autopsy proved that a criminal
operation had been performed. 1t was
also proven to the satisfaction of the
