KILLED ON KAW
Woman Says She Witnessed
a Murder-More Than
One Victim.

Kansas City, Feb. 8.-Rhoda Taylor
made written confession to the police
to-day that Noah Long, an aged stone
mason who disappeared mysteriously from
his home at Argentine, a Kansas City
suburb, had been robbed and his body
thrown into the Kaw river Long had
drawn $210 pension money from the bank
on Thursday last.
According to the wo1nans confession,
Henry Donohue and James Golf were with
her and Long at Donohue's house on the
night that Long disappeared. Donohue,
who was infatuated with the woman, had,
she asserts, tainted her with not being
able to secure the money from Long.
During the evening the men robbed the
old man and then compelled her to start
with him across bridge over the Kaw.
While in the middle of the bridge, the
men, she asserts, caught up with them,
held Long and ordered her to hurry on
and not turn back A moment later she
heard splash, and knew that they had
thrown Long into the water. Donohue,
Dave Moran, a nephew of the missing
man, and the Taylor woman were arrested
Tuesday and Golf was taken UP to-day.
Last night Moran attempted suicide by
cutting an artery in his wrist. The ma
ture of the charge against him is not
known.
On the day before Long disappeared
Thomas Carroll, 65 years old, was found
dead in his house, where he had lived
alone for years. Tez was known to have
considerable money, and wounds. on his
head made 1t appear that he had been
murdered by robbers. Sc

VAST DEAL.
Traction Interests of Five
Great Cities in One
Company's Hands.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Feb. S.-Negotiations are now
in progress in this city and New York
for the consolidation of the principal
traction interests Of this city-possibly
the elevated roads as well-into one large
company, which will control the local
transportation field. Furthermore, it is
probab that this is the preliminary steu
to merging the local traction lines into a
giant combination with capital of al
least third of billion dollars, which
is to control the transportation companies
in five or more Of the principal cities OF
the United States.
The local combination and the national
concern are being planned by the Whit
ney- Elkins- Widener- Ryan syndicate> O.
New York and Philadelphia capitalists
with the aid of j. Pierpont Morgan. E
H. Gary is believed to have charge of the
local deal. Other negotiations looking tc
the preparation of the New York field fol-
entrance into the national combination
are believed to be taking place in New
York, it being reported that local secu
| rites company with capital of $50 900,
900 or $50, 100000 is being formed Their.
to unite the New York traction interests
The national company will DOUBTLESS
take over the lines in the following cities
all of which are now controlled wholly o.
in part by the Whitney Elkins- Widene
interests: New York, Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati, Chicago and Pittsburs.

WAR IN ERIN
Assertion That the Policy of
Kindness Has Not Been
Efectual.

4 London, Feb. s.-A dispatch to the Pail
Mall Gazette from Dublin declares that
the ''frmly rooted belief in influential
circles is that nothing short of a revolu-
ton is meant by the United Irish League,
and that the advocates Of constitutional
methods are slowly but surely giving Way
to the strong physical force section -.
According to the correspondent, Lord
Salisbury's speech OF Wednesday last,
before the Junior Constitutional club,
leads people to hope that the government
has at last learned the lesson that home
rule cannot be killed with kindness and
that the ministry has become aware of the
terrible havoc being worked by the league
throughout Ireland The correspondent
adds:
lrishmen who have just returned from the
United States aver that no support will be
given to the disloyal cause unless the discus
sions and scenes in parliament give place to
something more active in Ireland itself. The
American end Of the campaign is being run
by men who are all Of the same stamp as
Finerty, who recommends dynamite and rifles
Young Ireland is being taught to believe in
the coming storm and to openly speak there
Of with enthusiasm. The policy of kindness
has convinced the peasantry that the reign
of the British is almost at an end and, in
truth, the British statute book is already
suspended and the court Of the league is SUI
preme.

GET 4 DRAWBACK
Millers Will Find No Legal
Obstacle to Grinding
j. Manitoba Wheat.

If the local flour mills decide to begin
grlndlng Manitoba wheat, as intimated in
L e ourna | yesterday, it will not
be the first time it has been DONE Away
back in the late seventies, when the mill
Ing industry was yet in it's infancy, the
experiment was tried. One Of the Chris
tians, pioneer millers of the city, brought
some wheat grown across the line, over
into Minnesota and it was ground into
flour here. The experiment was sue
cessful In the one instance, in so far as
1t showed that the wheat could be used.
1t was more a test of quality than any,
thing else. But it was not shown that
there were any special advantages to be
gained, and, indeed, comparison of the
product only served to prove the SUPER
lorlty of the choice Red River valley
wheat over any other. Conditions. OF
course, in the milling trade and in regard
to wheat growing in Manitoba were SO
different that no comparison with the
present time can be of value, but it is
interesting to note that with sufficient
difference in price it might be possible
TOR the local millers to go after the
Manitoba wheat.
No Legal Obstacles.
A special dispatch from The Jour-
S Washington bureau quotes treas
ury department officials as saying that
there is ample authority in law for grind
ing Manitoba wheat in bond in Minneapo-
lis and exporting it when made into flour
There are two laws covering this point
One was enacted in 1883, and provided
for grinding Canadian wheat in the
United States which is brought in wagons
or other ordinary road vehicles. No dut,
is to be paid on this wheat except fo,
such portion as is retained by the mile,
as toll for grinding. The other law pro.
vides for drawback of the duty paid or
raw material imported from Canada OF
other foreign country manufactured her,
and exported. One per cent of this dut,
is retained by the government for admin
istration expenses. Regulations pre-
pared by the department to carry out thi
law provide that importers shall certif,
at the port of entry that such wheat !,
imported for manufacture and export
When the manufactured product is ex
ported, the importer certifies to the fact
and a rebate of SO per cent of the duty i
allowed.
1t is probable that If Minneapolis mill
ers decide to grind Manitoba wheat TO
export, the drawback law will be held t,
apply. The question has not been pre-
ented to the department and no officia
opinion will be given until one is aske,
by the collector of customs at Minneapoli
or st. Paul.

ANXIETY
President Abandons Charles.
ton Trip Because of
Sons Illness.

Washington, Feb. S.-The following
statement was issued at the White House
to-day:
The condition of the presidents son is
favorable. The doctors say that the president
should not go to Charleston as at any time
within six days the disease may take a
sudden turn for the worse. The president also
is asked not to go to Groton, as his visit
might excite the boy, who is not in imme-
date danger. Owing to the request of the
doctors, the president has abandoned his trip
to Charleston. Should a turn for the worse
occur the president is prepared to leave at
a moments notice on a special train.
Groton, Mass, Feb. 8.-Mrs. Roosevelt
and maid reached here to-day. Rev. Mr..
Billings, assistant to President Peabody
of the Groton school, was waiting with a
carriage. The drive Of three miles to
the school took an hour. At the school
Mrs. Roosevelt was received by President
Peabody and a few moments later was at
her boys bedside. Subsequently an at
tempt was made. to obtain from Mrs.
Roosevelt a statement for publication, but
she declined to depart from the course
approved by President Roosevelt. Ac-
cording to this plan, all necessary in
formation will be transmitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who will determine what
news shall be given to the public.

AS TO MOVES
All-Day Hearing and the End
to Come in a Week
or Two.

Washington, Feb. S-Attorney General
Knox to-day gave an all-day hearing in
Sthe case of Judge Noyes Of Alaska, con-
victed OF contempt by the United States
circuit court of appeals at San Francisco.
Judge Noyes was represented by Mr.. Nc
Laughlin Of st. Paul and Mr.. Henly of
San Francisco. The compliments were
represented by Charles D. Lane and the
Wild Goose Mining company by Mr.. Raj
ston and Mr. Brewster. This mining COM
pany was the defendant in the Anvil Creek
claims, out of which most of the litigation
in the Noyes case arose.
The object of the hearing is to deter
mine the propriety of removing Judge
Moves from the Nome district judgeship,
and is in no sense a review of the action
of the San Francisco court. Counsel rep
sresenting the interests opposed to Judge
Noyes ask for his removal upon the
ground OF incompetency and injudicia1
conduct. The attorney generals findings
probably will be submitted to the presi-
dent within the next week or two.

Mr.. Sweet called up his resolution in
wiling the tax commission to attend the
hearing on the tax bill. He called at
tention to the statement in the COVER
nor's message that members Of the tax
commission were at the service of the
legislature. He could not understand the
opposition OF the gentleman from st.
Louis (Mr. Laybourn) to such a simple
resolution. ALI interests should be heard.
The only ones so far heard were opposed
to the bill. AS jury the house should
hear both sides, and by all means should
have the benefit of the experience of the
tax commission.
The tax bill had three features, con-
tfnued Mr. Sweet, to which no one had
objected, and if nothing more could be
done, these should be added to the laws
of the state. These were the new sys-
TEN of assessing and collecting real estate
taxes, tho permanent tax commission and
the taxation Of franchises.
Mr.. Smith asked whether the tax COM
mission would come without expense tc
the state. Mr.. Sweet replied that in his
understanding they would do SO, but be
believed the state should pay them fol
such attendance.

resolution was laid over yesterday, said

There have been murmurs for several days
that important developments were pending

case. The fact that St. Paul stockholders
only about year ago declined very nat

couraged the belief that it is the fixed policy
of the ST. Paul system to retain its indie
