to matters of instruction pertaining to

the attendance will be much larger.

NEW YORK TRAGEDY
YOUNG MAN DISCOVERED IN ROOM
WITH BULLET HOLE IN
HIS HEAD
HANDSOME GIRL ARRESTED
She Is Unflinching, However, When
Accused of Having Committed
the Crime by the Brook
Iyn Police.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-WaIter s.
Brooks young commission merchant
OF this city, was found dying in a room
in the Glen Island hotel, West and Cort-
landt streets, last midnight and after his
death several hours later in hospital,
the police were notified and took in
charge Florence Burns, a handsome
Brooklyn girl with whom Brooks had
for some time been keeping company. She
will probably be arraigned in court to-
morrow morning.
A negro bellboy identified the girl as
the one who came to the hotel with
Brooks, but Miss Burns denies she was
the person and declares that she met
Brooks at his place of business early
Friday evening, leaving him at $50 clock
to go to her home in Brooklyn. Certain
it is, however, that Brooks and some
woman went to the Glen Island early Fri
day evening, registering as 81. Wilson
and wife"
It was midnight when the bellboy
smelled gas In one of the Railways.
Brooks room was broken into and he
was found lying across the bed uncon-
scious and gas was pouring from the
burners. DR.. Sweeney was summoned and
noticed what he thought was a simple
cut on the back of the head. Later he
discovered it was a bullet wound and
Brooks removal to a hospital followed
The girl was arrested at her Brooklyn
home. At the police station she did not
finch at the examination through which
she was put, maintaining she did not
spend the night with Brooks. The bell
boy, however, picked her out from three
women lined up before him as the woman
who had been at the hotel. DR.. Sweeney
and the police put aside the theory Of
self-murder because there was no powder
marks around the spot where the bullet
entered the head Of Brooks. Counsel has
been engaged by the girls father who

circles as the announcer at big sporting

A VERY GREAT SENSATION

Public Confidence.

BERLIN, Feb 15.-The course Of the
tariff Dill continues to get rough Mem
bers Of the committee continue to vote
amendments in spite of the protests of
the government. Amendments in favor
of abolition of the octori duties in force
IN some sections of the country, in spite
of the fact that the imperial secretary,
Count PosadowskiW elmer, had an
nounced that it was contrary to the con-
stftut1on. and constitutional revision was
necessary before the abolition of these
duties could be voted
The amendment adopted yesterday fix
ing Feb. l, 1906 for putting the new
tariff into effect is a step of the Agra
rtans, and is intensely embarrassing to
the government, since it is not certain
that tariff negotiations can be completed,
and the effect is plain that it is to force
the government to invite tariff wars.
The Agrarians, in discussing the
amendment, showed their usual anti
American animus. Count Won Kanitz the
Agrarian leader, again argued that the
United States could not afford a tariff
war with Germany, saying it would De

excess Of American exports to Germany

A Very Great Sensation.
The trial Of the officers Of the Treber-
Trocknung (grain-drying) company Of
Cassel caused a very great sensation. Tia
newspapers filled many columns with de-
tails of the trial. which brought out the
history of the company's meteoric
career, showing it to have been a gigan-
tic swindle from the beginning, though
Director Schmidt succeeded in deceiving
the board of overseers until the crash
came. They regarded him as a financial
genius and trusted him completely, while
distributing so per cent dividend from
fictitious profits, practicing wholesale
operations in financial bills, hoodwinking
the LeipZiger bank and his own over
seers and making immense advances.
The evidence indicated that the COM
pany never earned an honest dividend
and that 1T was a humbug throughout
even when It's shares were manipulated
up to 1900. The concern was founded in
1889, with capital Of $780, 900 marks, for
utilizing the waste products Of breweries.
Later it purchased patent wood dis

Nevertheless Herr Schmidt captured the

FOR HOMESEEKERS
GREAT NORTHERN AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC DECIDE TO GIVE
LOW RATES
TO CONTINUE UNTIL MAY 90
New Round Trip Rate Has Been
Made One Fare Plus So
Higgins ON Tues
day.

Owing to the fact that the travel to
the West demands it, the Great Northern
has decided to resume the homeseekers
rates to Western points that were aban-
dOned last fall and will, beginning Tues
day, Feb. IS, make rate of one fare
plus 81 to points between st. Paul and
Portland, inclusive, to be in force until
May 20.
a one way settlers rate of $25 to these
points will also be made to the same
points, the same to be in force during
the months of March and April The
homeseekers or round trip rate will cover
all the territory up to Portland, Ore
with minimum rate of ST from st. Paul
These rates. as before stated, were
abandoned last spring, but there have
been so many applications from people
who desired to go West and look over
land for future consideration that the
road has decided to resume the rate on
the first and third Tuesday of each month
until May 20
The road also announces one way set
tiers rates to points in Minnesota and
North Dakota, tickets to be sold on
March 4, IL, IS and Is, and April / and
g. This rate will be Sc to all points.
The Chicage-St. Paul lines have notified
the Great Northern that they will make
rate of So from Chicago here on these
dates in order to make connections with
settlers from the East. This makes an
exceedingly low rate, less than one cent
a mile in many cases, and on those dates
the Great Northern is expecting to handle
many passengers.
The low rates that this system is MAX
ing will induce thousands of settlers and
homeseekers to visit the Northwest and
Minnesota and the DakotaS will no doubt
be benefited greatly by this.
The Northern Pacific also will resume
the sale Of round trip homeseekers' ex-
cursfon tickets beginning next Tuesday,
Feb. Is, and continuing on the first and
third Tuesdays of each month until May
20 inclusive at rate of one fare plus So
These rates will apply to all Western ter
ritory reached by the Northern Pacific in
Guiding Portland, Ore.
