ALMOST CERTAIN THAT
LAvlhtuvl is DROWNED
Fate of Young's Assailant
Seems Cleared.
INQUIRY AT ATLANTIC CITY
Strong Undercurrent Discovered Neal
Point Where His Clothing
Was Found.

Attorney George p. Hoover day or
York, which seems to confirm the gen.
eral belief that Harry Lawrence, who
was under indictment in this juris6ic-
fion for attempting to kill Special
Watchman William Young, was drowned
ut Atlantic City. September is last.
Lawrence was an enlisted man in the
United States Army. and was stationed
at Fort Myer.
On the morning of the date stated
clothing marked Harry Lawrence" were
found on the beach at Atlantic City, IN
the vicinity of one of the life-saving
every effort was made. the body of the
missing man has not been found.
Two Men of Same Name.
BY a strange coincident it happened
that another man named Harry Law
renee. who resided at Asbury Park, n.
-, disappeared at the same time, ant.
has not since been heard from. The
clothing found on the beach near the
life-saving station the morning after
Harry Lawrence, q. S. A. disappeared.
however, were those of soldier. AMI
ii is not doubted that they belonged to
the man who is wanted here 10 answer
to a charge of assault with intent 20
XIII.
Lawrence was arrested by Special
Watchman Young in August last on a
charge of breaking one of the windows
of a jewelry store on Pennsylvania Ave
nue.. between Ninth and Tenth Streets
northwest. While on the way to No.
Police Station Lawrence attempted to
shoot Young He was indicted and re-
leased on $1,000 bail to await his trial
in the Supreme Court of the District.
He had secured Attorney Hoover for his
defense.
Lawrence secured a leave of absence
from Fort Myer and went to visit his
father in New York city. His father, it
is said. is well to do, and had Lawrence
intended to desert from the service or
flee from this jurisdiction it is argued
that he would have obtained money from
his father. In the pockets of his clothes
there were found IS cents in money
and his ticket for Washington. 1t was
also discovered that he had already
checked his valise for this city, and in
that were only few extra pieces of
clothing.
Investigation Is Made.
Attorney Hoover had a friend in New
York go to Atlantic City and make a
thorough investigation of the affair. The
report of this friend was received few
DAYS ago 1t states that there is hardly
any room to doubt that Lawrence was
drowned The theory is that Lawrence
probably decided TO go in bathing at
night, and was swept beyond his depth
by a strong undercurrent. The person
who made the examination for Mr..
Hoover states that be went in bathing
at the place where Lawrence's clothing
was found, when the tide was about
at the same ebb as it is supposed to
have been when Lawrence went into the

swimmer would be able to take care of

FATAL AFFRAYS IN PORTO RICO
MANY Bad Riots Occur on the Island
over the Repatriation of
the Voters.

SAN JUAN. Porto ~, at. 29.-In-
complete returns fro warn, ~, 5 Of the
island regarding the last reh Il, day,
yesterday confirm the reports y, 7ts
and shooting occurred in many toN
violence was used everywhere.
The rumor that the federals were shb
out at San Lorenzo, where a mob attacked
the police, with the result that two OF the
rioters we're killed and fifteen men, among
whom were three policemen, we're des-
perately wounded, is also confirmed. II is
added that the mob entered the town carry
ing a corpse at the head of the procession.
The police attempted to disperse the par
ticipants in a fight at Patillas, a federal
town, which was invaded by a large mob
OF republicans from Guayama, which forci-
bly, took possession Of the booths, shut out
the federals and registered the whole Of the
Guayama non-residents' party. In the
shooting and rioting, which ensued four
men. we're badly wounded, including Cor
poral Cepero Of the insular police.
At Ponce many shots we're fired, but there
we're no casualties Minor disorders, stab
bings and other woundings have been re-
ported from other towns.
New and imperative instructions had beer
issued by the government officers as tC
regarded by the election judges The fed
erals were not permitted to register and
were forcibly kept out Of the booths.
Practically there was no federal registra-
tion throughout the island.

MORGAN SCHEME is KILLED
Parliament Refuses to Revive His
Tube Bill, and May Reject
Yerkes', Too.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-The House of Com
mons tonight refused to allow the Morgan
tube bill to be revived. Mr.. Yerkes was
denounced during the debate for his dis
honorable transactions" and dirty
methods" but 1t was held that the trouble
was all in one family, anyway.
The disputes promise to involve London
ers in the thorny problem of whether the
county council or private spectators shall
supply locomotion needs.
The debate in the House of Commons led
to strong language.
Sir Lewis McIver described the transac-
tion OF the London United Tramway COM
pany as a scandal without precedent in
committee work. He said the game was to
make London railways pawns on the
checkerboard OF Wall street and that Par
Lament must take care that there be no
suspicion OF its taking any side In the
quarrel. The next session Of Parliament
should start fair, with clean slate, and
consider the matter afresh.
when two of trade fall out the county
council may perhaps come by its own" he
added.
All the London papers express satisfac-
tion with the result OF the debate and pro-
test against American capitalists being per-
mitted to exploit London transit. Discus
sion Of the county councils status follows
political lines, the conservative papers
being against and the liberal papers In
favor Of the municipalization OF transit

KRUGER PUBLISHES MEMOIRS
Says He Tried to stop War, but Roer
Antipathy Was Too
Strong.

LONDON, Oct. s0-It is expected that a
second installment OF extracts from the
Kruger memoirs will be published today.
1t is understood they give narrative Of
the former presidents career, but do not go
into political questions or advise the Beers
as to the future.
Mr.. Kruger takes pains to explain that he
did his best to prevent the war, but the
Beers Unborn antipathy to foreign inter-
ference proved too strong FOR him.
Mr.. Kruger declares Mr.. Chamberlain
was undoubtedly the late Cecil Rhodes ac-
complice In the Jameson raid, and that he
appointed Lord Milner British high COM
missioner in South Africa with the direct
intention Of driving matters tc extremes.
This tool Of Mr.. Chamberlain" says
Mr.. Kruger, carried out his mission faith
fully and turned South Africa into a wild
| erness"
British policy in general the former pres
ident sums up in the following sentences:
Lies, treachery, intrigues. and secret in
vestigations against the governments OF the
republics"
Mr.. Kruger declares that the Transvaal
national union was under Cecil Rhodes
paramount influence from its very incep-
tion.
He describes how, after the Jameson raid
when the republic was practically defense
less. he became convinced of the necessity
OF preparing for war and gradually accumu-
lated war materials.
