Derby, Conn, Sept. 22.-William Hoop
er Young, for whom police of New York
have been searching. In connection with
the murder of Mrs. Anna Nelson Pulit-
ger, has been found and is also said to
have made a confession regarding the
killing of Mrs. Pulitzer
In the guise of tramp, he had been
wandering about the country for several
days, when he was arrested last evening
by the Derby police on suspicion. AL
though his description tailed closely with
that sent out BY the New York officers,
the prisoner at first stoutly denied any
connection with the murder, and even
when he was confronted with a man who
was formerly fellow workman, he still
denied his identity. But this evening,
upon the arrival of a man with whom he
was intimately acquainted, the prisoner
acknowledged that he is William Hooper
Young.
1t was TO Mac Levy, physical culture
instructor. of Brooklyn and Detective
Sergeant Edward Hughes, of New York,
that the prisoner admitted his identity.
Levy and the detective reached here at
6:20 o'clock and were conducted at once
TO the prisoners corridor in the Jail. The
suspected man. who, up to this time had
Insisted that ho was Bert Edwards, of
Portland, Oregon, was taken from his cell
and met Levy in the corridor.
Hello, Hooper" exclaimed Levy as
soon as the prisoner appeared. There
was no response and no sign of recogni-
tion from the suspected man, but when
Levy again salu.ed MIN, he said calmly,
Il don't know you.
"Of course you know me- said Levy,
placing his hand on the shoulder of the
prisoner, ne spoke in a low tone for
several minutes. The prisoner said:
You Should be sure of your identifi-
cation This is terrible crime for which
l am held"
Young was taken back to his cell and
. told the reason for his arrest. The
prisoner then for the first time admitted
that lie was William Hooper Young He
talked with the officer regarding his re-
turn to New York, and expressed a will
Iingncss to go back at once without re-
quisition papers.
While Detective Sergeant Hughes was
talking with Young an acquaintance OF
passed by the cell and looked. Mr. An
Zer, who was formerly a business part
her of Young, was somewhat in doubt
about the Identification, but as he went
by the prisoner raised his head and ex
claimed, Hello, there's Amer" While
Levy's Identification of Young and the
iatter's own admission cleared up all
uncertainty regarding the case, the police
had been positive for several hours that
they had the man they wanted. Detective
ergeant Peter A. Finley, of New York,
who reached here shortly before 8 o'clock
accompanied by Gustave A. Ernst Of
Brooklyn, was able through Ernst to es-
tablish the identity of the arrested man
to his satisfaction, but to make the identi
fication complete, the detective decided
to have another acquaintance of Young
confront the man, and Levy was sent

Many Say the Real American Imperial Fight
Has Not Yet Begun
(By the Associated Press.)

London. Sept 20.-The tobacco situa-
tion is absorbing columns of space in The
London dailies. A recent dinner of the
Wholesalers Association was productive
Of varied speculation, owing to speech
of the chairman, who mysteriously hint
ed at possible government action ad-
verse to imported manufactured tobacco
and a speedy end of the present trade
war by the amalgamation of the Ameri-
can and Imperial Tobacco Companies
Those interested in and conversant with
the real situation assert that neither the
American nor the British companies are
ripe for any sort of a compromise, and
that the real fight has not yet COM
menced.

A STORM OF DlSAPPROVAL
1t is Believed That This Will Follow
McLean's Action.
coLOMBIANs THINK US THERE 70 STAY
That Troops Are Sent1in Anticipation Of Early
Signature Panama Canal treaty a1d
That Tney Win Sooh Check
All Possibilities.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 22.-The Navy De-
partment is in receipt of the following
cablegram from Commander Mclean of
the cruiser Cincinnati, dated Colon, Sep
tember goth:
"The United States guards and guar
Today I permitted the exchange of Co
lombian troops from Panama to Colon
about one thousand men each way, the
troops without arms, in train guarded
by American naval force in the same
manner as other passengers, arms and
ammunition in separate train guarded
also by naval force in the same manner
as other freight"
Officials of the Colombian Legation
here predict that a storm of disapproval
will arise in Colombia as a result of
Commander McLeans action in disarm-
ing the Colombian troops before their
passage across the Isthmus. 1t is stated
here that Colombia's agreement with
the Panama Railroad Company specific
ally provides for the transportation of
Colombian soldiery by the railroad when
occasion arises, and the commanders
action is regarded at the Legation here
as a direct infringement of Colombias
sovereignty over the Isthmus.
A belief which has grown so strong
that it no longer can be disregarded is
held in Central and South American dip
lomatic quarters here in regard to this
latest, and in point of numbers, almost
unprecedented dispatch of naval force to
the Isthmus. This belief (and it should
be stated that the impression prevails
in spite of emphatic expressions of high
officials of the United States Government
to the contrary is that the large naval
force which has been sent to keep traffic
open across the Isthmus will prevent by
its very presence, the continuation of
hostilities along the railroad on any ex-
tensive scale, and soon bring them to a
halt altogether; that the force has been
sent there in anticipation of an early
signature of the Panama Canal treaty,
and that it will be kept there to MAIN
tain order.

States auxiliary cruiser Panther from
the League Island Navy Yard, with a
battalion of marines on. board, has just
arrived here. Efforts are being made to
