DETAILS OF THEFT OF FAMOUS
PAINTING ARE MADE
PUBLIC
MAN WHO STOLE IT Is DEAD
Picture Was Cut From Its Frame ia
Agnew Galleries i'm London,
and Was Concealed for
Fifteen Years.
WAS RECOVERED LAST April.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Adam Worth, alias
Henry ]. Raymond and known as the
Napoleon of Crime is dead In London
and with the announcement of his death
today all the details of the discovery OF
the famous Gainsborough painting were
made public in Chicago
When the famous picture was restored
to its owner in Chicago last April, there
were many surmises as to the medium of
it's return. William A. Pinkerton, VINO
made the formal announcement of the re-
covery of the painting, refused to confirm
or deny any of the stories. Now that
Worth is dead, Mr.. Pinkerton can speak,
as Worth gave him written permission to
reveal the Gains borough secret after he
had died.
Wrapped in oil cloth, the canvas was
handed over to c. Moreland Agnew one
morning last April, in Chicago, by Worth,
who,- twenty-five years before, had cut
the paIn.4ng from its frame in the Agnew
galleries in London.
The return of the painting took place IN
Mr.. Pinkerton's private office. The owner
of the picture hurried back to London for
fear the United States authorities would
demand a customs duty on the work
which had been secreted in this country
for fifteen years.
1t was while in London that Worth con-
ceived the idea of carrying off the
picture. His first plan was to rob the
Royal academy of it's art treasure.
Then he changed his mind and directed
! his attention to the Gainsborough paint
ing. Assisted by his partner, he climbed
into the Agnew galleries and one night
cut the painting from its canvass and
carried it away Worth owned a steam
vac, and the canvass was taken aboard
/ and concealed until he sold the vessel
to Lord Lonsdale. Then he took the
picture to Paris and finally brought it
to America, where it was concealed for
| fifteen years. In the meantime Worth
was arrested in Brussels and forced to
serve seven years.
Mr.. Pinkertorr had known Worth for
thirty years and two years ago he re-
ceived telegram telling him that an inn
portant letter was at his home. The let
ter was from \, orth, who asked an in
interview This was granted and Worth
said he was going to die and wanted to
turn up the GainsbOrough picture in
order that his two children, who had been
educated in a convent, might enjoy tue
proceeds.
Through hitch the picture was not re.
covered at that time. Worth returned to
London and early last spring fulf4.UO his
bargain.

Russia Is Reported as Trying to

PEKlN, Feb. 6.-The British, American
and Japanese ministers here have renew
ed their opposition to the Manchurian ar
rangements between China and Russia
1t is probable that this action will re-
suit in the further postponement of the
consummation of this treaty.
The powers opposing the Manchurian
treaty are now beginning to recognize
the force OF the representations of the
chinese plenipotentiaries that China is
making the best terms possible for her
self and incidentally for the equal rights
OF the other nations in China, and are
shifting their protests to Russia as the
responsible party. Paul Lessar, the Rus
sian minister here, is endeavoring 20
MAINTAIN the transparent diplomatic fic-
ton that the Manchurian treaty and the
Russo-Chinese bank agreement are not
related. He has informed his colleagues
that the Russian government has no
official knowledge of the negotiations of
the Russo-Chinese bank. The Russian
agents are playing their parts with the
greatest regard for appearances, while
M. Lessar is arranging the treaty with

THE ARCHBISHOP SPEAKS
SAYS CATHOLICS DO NOT SUFFER-
FOR RELIGION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Archbishop
John Ireland, of st. Paul, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the alumni banquet of
the Carroll institute, held here tonight.
He sought to disabuse his hearers Of the
Impression which he believed prevailed
among Catholics that they suffered be-
cause of their religion, suggesting in this
connection that many persons of that
faith appeared evidently anxious Of being
half prosecuted. He asserted that Cath
olics do not suffer because of their re-
ligion, and said the idea that they did
is gradually disappearing. They have, he
said, a better chance of accomplishing
what they desired than formerly. In
stead of waiting until measures preiu-
dlclal to their interests were adopted
they should protest against any alleged
infraction of their rights, and they would
be given respectful intention.

HIS HOME.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 6.-Upon the dis
covery today of the dead body of George
Zimmerman, a farmer, sixty-three years
old, at his home near Morris station,
Kan, the Wyandotte county officers have
concluded that Zimmerman and two
other aged men, all recluses, have been
murdered in Wyandotte county since the
first of the year by the same persons,
and in each case it is believed the mo-
tive has been robbery. Wednesday Of
last week the dead body of Thomas Car
roll, an aged Hermit, was found in well
near his home in Argentine He had
been dead nearly a month, and the cor
oner's jury decided that he had been
murdered. Two men and a woman are

The first of the momentous hearings on
the tax code proposed by the tax COM
mission was given yesterday morning by
the house tax committee. The hearing
was given in the hall of the house, and
almost to a man the entire house was
present. A delegation representing the
Duluth shipping interests told the COM
mittee why the proposed vessel tax clause
should not be enacted.
The delegation included Capt. Alexan-
der McDougall, inventor Of the whale
back steamer; Capt. j, 7. Rose, Capt d.
T. Helm, G. A. Tomlinson, vessel owner
and agent, and former Senator II. +.
Spencer, author of the tonnage tax law

there were present A. D. Davidson, II. B.
Moore, E. G. Swanstrom, representing the
city of Duluth and H. DrVoschak, Henry
Perault and Gordon O'Neill, representing
the Duluth trades assembly. Only the
vesselmen submitted arguments yestec-

you will naturally ask, why should the
vessel tax be fixed at low rate when
other interests are taxed higher? Under
the laws Of the United States ship may

The ship is registered at the selected port
and the name of that port is painted on
the vessels stern. All the owner needs to
do to change his port is to re-register and
with five cents worth Of paint change
the name on the stern of his ship. Our
tonnage tax law is SO good that the Wis

TIFFIN, Ohio, Feb 6.-Russell B.
Drake, the absconding insurance agent,
who was captured in Mexico after two
years chase, pleaded guilty to the charge
Of forgery today, and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for seven years. Drake
claimed just before being sentenced that
he had been led to commit the crime be-
cause of financial straits, and disclaimed
any criminal intent. He is predisposed
to consumption, and may not live to

pride to the citizens Of Duluth, to en-
courage ship building in Minnesota. 1t Is
only the steamships that make it possible
to ship their grain to the Eastern
markets Another point which you
should consider is this fact: All OF the
ships are owned by companies, most OF
them by Joint stock companies. The
holders of the stock are scattered all
over the United States and pay locally
the taxes on their stock. The proposed
assessment and taxation Of vessels would
be a species of double taxation. There is
no question Of the state donating any
thing to the vessel owners. he dona-
ton is entirely on the other side Of the
fence. The tonnage tax is every cent Of
1t pure velvet The vessel owners are do
ing the donating"
Touching the constitutonalfty Of tho
tonnage tax law, Mr.. Spencer said the
constitutional amendment passed by '-le
legislature in 1896 and approved by the
people is broad enough to permit the levy
Of a specific tax on vessels and if the law
is re-enacted the people Of Duluth win
be perfectly satisfied to take their

PROMISING MINING GROUP
Its Development Will Bring Business
 to Douglas

Almost in sight of Douglas, only twelve miles away, lies group of mines. the development of which will be the means of increasing the business of the town to q considerable extent says the International.
 Robert HiIburn, \. J. Thatcher. John R. Speer and others have an explora- tion concession comprising ninety square miles, commencing at the American line running six miles east and west and fifteen miles south to the Caballon. N. J. Thatcher recently be- came interested in th1 exploratio con- cession. Previous to this Robert Hii- burn, John l.. Speer and others had denounced forty-one pertenencias in two groups. and they are expecting daily the papers from the City of Mex ico giving them title to this property.
 Mir Thatcher. who is q well known Colorado mining man, and who has had many years experience in the min ing regions of the Rocky mountains and on the Pacific coast. has carefully examined the ground included in the eXploratio concession and says that he has never seen better surface showing for mineral anywhere. and eX- presses his belief that some Valua Jle mines will Ee found here.
 The small amount of work done on the property denounced by Hilburn and his associates shows copper ore of hign grade, consisting of carbonates and glance, and carrying other values. The surface showings indicate large bodies at q lower depth.
 Messrs. Thatcher and Speer left Wednesday for Fl Paso on business connected with this group Of mines. They will return some time next week.

Review. The district is by no means new one; it has been known for many years to mining men who make No gales their headquarters, as a region rich in gold. copper, silver and lead, but what work has been done in the devel- opment of its ore bodies has been in such a quiet way that the district has not been much written about nor has 1t received the attention it deserves. Among other mining properties in that part of Santa Cruz county, of which much might be written, is the Red Bird group of five claims. the Red Bird, Pay Streak, Little Joker. Nabob and New Deal. The group is about fifteen miles east of Nogales in the Patagonia moun- tains, is owned by the Red Bird Mining company, of which MT. A. s. Bolten- house. of Los Angeles, is the chief own CT. The ore is lead carbonate, carry
 ing gold and copper in addition to sil- yer and lead. Four assays of the ore taken from different portions of the ledge were as follows: No. l. silver, S9 ounces. lead A per cent; No. 2, sil- yer 3S ounces, lead 66 per cent; No. 3. silver A ounces. lead 8 per cent; No. 1, silver 2S ounces. lead P per cent
 Assays made for copper showed in some instances as high as forty per cent.
 The development consists of a shaft on the Red Bird claim, sixty feet in depth. sinking on which is now going on. At that depth a 5-feet ledge of ore has been uncovered which carries $16 in gold. beside sthe other metals. A recent report from the superintendent states that the ore is improving with depth, silver values increasing, going as high as one hundred ounces to the

ton, with a good showing of black OK idle of copper.
 In the same district are several oth- tr mining properties, among them the celebrated Worlds Fair, belonging to MT. Frank Powers, and for which, as was reported a couple of month ago, MT. Brockman of the Commonwealth mine at Pearce, AriZ., was willing to give s500,000. But even at that price he could not get it. Other mines ill the district are the Providencia, owned by MT. B. M. Jacobs, of Tucson; the Proto claims, owned by Proto brothers. of Nogales, and who are opening them up. The Pride of the West, owned by Colo rado people, is another valuable prop erty, and not far from it is the Du- quesne group, owned by the Nesting house people, and which is being open ed up upder the engagement of MT. Penney. Besides these there is the Mowry mine, named after and owned by 'Old Man Mowry, as he is called in Nogales. The Mowry is one of the famous old mines of Arizona, having been profitably worked during the time of the Mexican war, when its lead out put was sold al high prices.
 Another well known property in the Patagonias is the Hardshell mine owned by MT. R. R. Richardson, who in addition to his mining interests, is one of the largest stock raisers in southern Arizona. Besides the Hard shell mine he owns the FluX, the Three R's and some others. Mir. Scott Me keoWn, who dissipated a fortune, was for some time associated with Mr. Richardson in mining properties. but had to give up his interest in them, as
