OF THE MOMAN'S BOARD

a Snug Surplus After Purchasing
the Dressing sterilizer for Ener-
gency Hospital-Results of the
Recent Enterprises of the Ladies'
Auxiliary Ascertained at Last
Nights Meeting-$4OO in the
Treasury.
The recent enterprises of the Wo-
mems Auxiliary board of Emergency
hospital were successful beyond the
most sansuine expectations of the zeal
GUS and earnest workers in this wor-
thy cause.
These gratifying results We're ascer-
tained at the interesting meeting of
the board held last evening at the
home of Mrs. Frank e. Dennis, on
Washington street. The reports that
We're presented showed the sums re-
ceived the past few weeks to be as
follows: Recent rummage sale, $1S0.1S;
subscriptions secured by Misses Mar
tina Singer and Nellie Gallaghy, SOL;
unexpended balance from semi-centen-
nial general fund donated to the hos
pital, $1OO.2S: total, $3S951.
The incentive for these special efforts
of the ladies was to increase the fa-
cilities of the hospital by purcha sing
and installing Il dressing sterilizer.
Tho cost of this needed sterilizer was
estimated at $3.50. AT first the circum-
stances that faced the women work.
ers caused some misgivings over Oh
tanning this sum. But the reports re-
ceived last night happily banished
these fears. AS will be observed, there
is sufficient to purchase the apparatus,

the treaty for the sale of the Danish

ing statements from the United States
official publication showing that Est
rup, the leader of the opposition. Of
fered to sell the islands to the United
States in 1892, when Estrup was prime
minister and minister of finance.
DR.. Deuntzer also ridiculed the fear
of the opposition that the United States
congress might refuse to appropriate
81 ,000, 900 to purchase the islands, and
controversial the arguments against
the treaty because it did not confer
citizenship and free trade on the is
landers, pointing out that the Danish
constitution does not extend to the is
lands, and that Denmark does not enjoy
free trade, while, he added, a recent
decision of the supreme court of the
United States insured the islands i'm
mediate free trade with the United
States.
Ex-Premier Redtz Thott and the min
isterial leader, Madsen Mygdal, follow
ed, praising the growth of liberal in
situations IN the United States. and de-
olaring tire sale insured the prosperity
of the islands.

care for their property, and a detach-
ment of marines were landed to protect
them. The battle began at daybreak
and continued for several hours. The
conservatives then ~retreated ana the
Liberals took possession of the town
The incident that fastened the at
tack was the effort of the Machias tc
recover the American launches takeI
by the Liberals, who We're camped OF
the island. They based their refusa
on the ground that if they gave up the
launches they would have n 70 means O.
leaving the island, and the conserva
tives would then annihjlate them. The!
would return the launches in thu
morning. 1t is said the commander o
the Machias consented to this.
The Liberals embarked on two fla
boats, towed by launches, but instead
of moving away they descended imme
diately upon Bocas. So far as known
the launches have not yet been re
turned.

CHARGED WITH THE MURDER.
Attache of San Francisco Paper Said
- to be the Slayer of
Nora Fuller.

San Francisco, April 21.-Chief of
Police Whitman today officially an
nounced the murder of Nora Fuller,
who disappeared in January last, was
by c.. H.. Hadley, for IA years an ac-
countant in the business Office of a To-
cal newspaper. The girl left home Jan.
16, to answer an advertisement for a
nurse girl, and a month later she was
found murdered in a vacant house.
Handwriting Expert Kylka declares
Hadley wrote the advertisement.
Miss Clara Dixon. who lived with
Hadley, made a statement to the po-
lice in which she says she saw Hadley
for the last time on the morning of
Jan. 16. On the day of Hadley's dis
appearance Miss Dixon was preparing
a bundle of washing for the laundry,
when she came across several of Had
ely's undergarments stained in blood.
These garments the woman burned.
Miss Dixon explained that after Had
ley's disappearance she buried some of
his clothes, and gave other articles to
her brother-in-law. She said the Nora
Fuller stories frightened her, and ad-
mitted to the police that she suspected
Hadley of having had some connection
with the crime.
Miss Dixon said the handkerchief
found in the room where Nora Fuller's
body was found was similar to some
owned by Hadley. She positively iden.
titled certain writings of the man Haw-
kins as being Hadley's handwriting
Miss Dixon states that Hadley wars the
possessor of false mustaches and
boards. She thinks Hadley's right
name is Stuart, and his mother is liv-
ing in Chicago.
