ACTRESS SHOT
DOWN IN STREE
Miss Kate Rassett Killed by
Barry Johnston.
(By Associated PreSs.)

PHILADELPHIA PA. December l.
Mrs. Kate Hassett aged twenty-eighth
leading woman in kelths Eighth Street
Theatre Stock Company, was shot and
killed tonight by Barry Johnston. " well
known actor, who was formerly q mem
Der OF the Richard Mansfield Company,
and who is well known to theatrical peo-
pie throughout the country. After the
murder Johnston attempted suicide. The
tragedy occurred at Darian and Wood
Streets. in Phladelphia's Tenderoin.
Johnston fred al his victim five times.
TWO Of the bullets taking effect, one in
the left breast and the other in the left
arm. Johnston shot himself through the
breast and is not expected to live.
HOW 1T OCCURRED.
The murder was one Of the most sensa-
tional that has occurred here in long
time. The streets in the vicinity of the
affair ere filed with the usual mid
night crowds Johnston is said to have
arrived here from New York Sunday. He
had been paying considerable attention
to the woman. 1t Is said. Tonight he at
tempted to see her before see went tc
the theatre to take her part in the caste.
but he failed. He laid in wait for her at
the stage door until after the perform
ance. His presence there was noticed.
but nothing was thought Of It. and when
ANS. H3SSSlI !elt lES playhouse she
started for her boarding place.
Unknown to her she was followed by
johnston. On Darien Street. between Wood
and Vine Streets, Johnston Epproa ched
her, laid his hand upon her shoulder and
almost Kissed in her ear You have been
untrue to me-
Before the actress could flee the man
pulled out a seven-chambered revolver
and began shooting point-blank at her.
She fell to the sidewalk with the first
shot, the bullet piercing her left breast,
Four more shots were fired. one of which
took effect, and that in the arm. The muir
dccer then turned the smoking weapon
on himself and fired a bullet into his own
breast. He staggered ami fell almost
on the body of the actress.
HE MAY DIE.
The trag edy was enacted so quickly that
70 one could interfere. Several policemen
nearby, hearing the shots, ran for an am
bulance. and the wounded man and wo-
man were removed to the Hahneman Hos
,.itaI. The woman was dead when she
rca cheS there, and the doctors, after
1asty exanlinat ton. expressed the opinion
that Johnstons wound is probably fatal.
In the haste to get the wounded couple
to the hospital the police did not stop
TO INQUIRE the exact cause OF the affair,
br- those who knew both expressed the
opinion that jealousy was the real ana
only cause. Both were marrled, but

Councilman Miner to Offer an
Ord nance Requiring LoEg Res.
idenCe to Secure L;canse.

And now Councilman E. ". Miner. Of
Clay Ward. comes with proposition, the
result OF which il adopted by the Council
viii materially decrease the number Of
saloons in Richmond. And in addition it
is safe to say that fully one-half OF the
men now engaged in the whiskey bust
ness in the city would be forced to give
uT the saloon business and seek other
means for earning living. BY those who
are acquainted with the feature OF the
measure it Is considered the most prac-
teal yet offered to decrease the sale OF
wllskey IN Richmond.
Mr. Miner purposes the enactment OF
such legislation as will permit only sucn
I,erscns as have been naturaized citizens
of the United States for ten years and
residents Of Richmond for five years to
be granted licenses Following IS the
text of the ordinance:
First. No retail liquor license shall
herea fter be granted to any person eN-
cept he be a native born citizen OF the
United States OF WHO shall, at the time
of application for such license, have been
raturalized for al least ten years and have
beer a resident of the city OF Richmond
for at least five years.
Second All ordinances, parts or ordl-
r,arces and all resolutions in conflict with
this ordinance are hereby repealed
Third This ordinance shall be in force
from it's passage.
It was the intention OF Nj. Miner TO
Introduce this ordinance last night, out
al the instance OF Alderman John B. Min
or who has similar one now pending.
he withheld It until the next regular meet
ing.
The lauor men will doubtless fight the
ordinance. or at any rate the large foreiSn
element Of the whiskey trade VIII conoine

HEARTY RECEPTION
TO BOER GENERALS
BOTHA, DEWET AND DELAREY ARE
WELCOMED AT SOUTHAMPTON
WILL VISIT AMERICA.
lBY ASSOCIATED PREss.J

Southampton, August I6.-Generals
Botha, Dewet and Delarey arrived here
this morning and met with a great recep-
ton both from government officials and
the public.
lhe Boer generals looked well and
evidently were much pleased at the hearth
ness of the welcome accorded them. Soon
after landing they boarded the steamship
Niagara, where Joseph Chamberlain, the
colonial secretary, Earl Roberts and Gen.
Lord Kitchener greeted them. They were
also introduced to Mrs. Chamberlain and
Lady Roberts, with whom they chatted for
some time.
Official arrangements had been made to
permit the generals to witness the naval
review, but after a conference with
Abram Fischer, the former Boer delegate,
who came from The Hague, it was an
nounced that they intended to proceed to
London directly in order to reach Holland
as speedily as possible. The generals go to
Holland to pay their last respects to the
memory of Gen. Lucas Meyer, who died
of heart disease on August 8.
General Dewet, in conversation here,
confirmed the statement that he and his
companions will visit the United States
before returning to South Africa.

INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN
HEMISPHERE Threatened
Venezuela as an Independent Nation Re-
arets the German Attitude, Consider
ina That It Affects the Rights OF the
American hemisphere, Wncn Al
American Republics Must Uphold
The influence OF the United States.
BY ASSOCIATED TRESS.J


Willemstad Curacao, August I6.-A
memorandum has been delivered to the
German minister in Caracas, Venezuela,
and confdentially to the representatives
Of all the friendly powers. This memo
randum was an answer to the note trans
mitted last December by Ambassador Won
Holleben to the United States government.
The existence OF this note was not Off
cially known to Castro until lately. 1
The kaiser's government in that note in
formed the United States of its intention
to occupy Venezuelan port in order to
enforce payment of general claims.
Castro's Reply.
General Castros official answer to that
note is regarded by members of his gov
crnment, as a strong document. He con-
tends that Germany has not respected
Venezuclas right to legislate, both for
Venezuelan citizens and for foreigners
residing in Venezuela.
Castro insists that the claims of the
Germans and other foreigners for their
damages during the civil wars should be
presented to and decided only by Vene-
zuelan courts.
Germany maintains that satisfaction can
not be obtained in that way, owing to
the well known and peculiar character
istics of Venezuelan courts, which are
President Castro's instruments. The
kaiser's government contends that the
claims should be settled by conferences
between a German diplomatic agent and
the Venezuelan minister for foreign af-
fn;r al of I;eo
matters should be referred to The Hague
International court Of arbitration.
A Masteful Memorandum.
President Castros memorandum de-
clares that the German claims have been
exaggerated and contains a list of refer
cnces to authorities on international law
to support the governments argument.
1t is declared that Germany has made
logical argument, but simply series of
demands to the validi y of which Vene-
zuela objects.
In conclus on, the Venezuelan memorial
says that the government presents to the
German empire and to the friendly pow
ers, its protest against the ideas, I'M
putations and purposes of the German
note OF December II and declares this
protest is necessary 1t asserts that Vene-
zuela as an Independent nation, objects to
the moves of Ambassador Holleben's
communication to the United States gov
crnment and considers that the note in
its political aspect and character affects
the integrity OF the rights of the Ameri-
can hemisphere-an integrity which all
American republics must uphold and for
the strengthening of which two interna-
tional congresses have met through the
influence of the United States.
