five children in cotton house near the
dwelling. and the dwelling house was
a smouldering mass of ruins and ashes
The charred body of infant was found.
There was no trace of the mother
After Mr.. Westrop left home his wife
became suddenly insane and took all
the children to the cotton house and
fastened them in, then shot them to
death one ty one with Winchester
rifle.
The insane woman then set fire to the
dwelling and burned the infant alive.
All efforts to find the woman have
been fruitless. 1t is thought her rela-
tives are hiding her to save her from
mob violence. Mrs. Westrop has been
in bad health for years and especially
during the past few weeks. Before her
husband vent to church Sunday morn
Il ing she told him that if it were not for
her children she would kill herself. She
has always been known as peculiar ard
many of her neighbors have always re-
gardea her as being partially insane.

BERLIN, Aug. 4-The king Of Italy's
proposal of a contraction of European
ornaments is subject on which the
car and the German emperor un-
doubtedly will converse at their meet
ing at Reval, on the occasion of the
Russian naval maneuvers. Emperor
William almost certainly will give the
suggestion no encouragement. His
opinion is that disarmament is a
dream of the future and a fantastic
idea when considered in connection
with the existing continental situation.

her finest instrument of offense, which

PETER POWER MUST APPEAR.
Plaintiff in Northern Securities Case
May Be in Contempt.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Peter Power,
the, complainant in the suit against
the directors of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company to restrain them
from turning over the stock Of that
company to the Northern Securities
company, was today served at West
Hurley, N. Y, with a citation to APP
pear before Justice Lacombs in the
United States circuit court Wednesday
and show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt of court.
The contempt proceedings were the
result of the failure of George Alfred
Lamb, counsel for Power, to produce
his client for examination before Spe-
cial Examiner Mabie, despite the fact
that subpoenaes have been served on
Power on three occasions within one
week. Mr.. Lamb had secured several
postponements of the hearing on the
ground that Power was in i'll health.
In view of this order, which was Sc
cured by counsel for the directors, the
hearing before Special Examiner Ma
bic was today adjourned until next

OFFICIALS of Alton Notify Roads of the

CHICAGO Aug. 4-Traffic officials of

The notice was given in a meeting of
the executives of the Western lines with
a view to. trying to determine upon a
line of action.
1t developed in the meeting that there
is a strong determination to ignore the
action of the Great Western, and the
opinion was expressed that the time had
rates and their control The Atoms
situation, however, proves a severe
stumbling block, and unless some way
can be found to avoid it, there will prob
ably be break in the ranks of the traffic
men. After an extended discussion an
adjournment was taken until Wednesday,
