Consplrators In the Life Insurance Swlndle
Must Stand Trial.


Washington, D. c., April 16.-In issu-
ing a warrant for the surrender to the
Mexican government Of DR.. Charles S.
Harle, now held under arrest at El
Paso, Tex, on the charge Of being ac-
cessory to a murder committed in Chi
huahua, the state department today
took steps to secure the punishment of
peculiarly atrocious crime which has
engaged the attention Of two govern
ments and one of the big New York life
insurance companies for many months.
Papers filed at the state department al
lege that the Mexican agent Of the
company, T. c. Richardson, a man
named Meridith and DR.. Hale, conspir-
ed to murder a>man in order to cob
the insurance on his life, a policy for
which had been issued by Richardson.
The policy was made out payable to
Meridith. The victim was slowly pois-
oned to death and the doctor who atten-
ded him, certified he died from natural
causes. The doctors defense is that he
did not himself administer the drug.
Richardson and Meridith, also arrested
in Texas, were discharged by the court
on the ground of insufficient evidence,
but the Mexican government has sworn
out new charges and the two men will
be rearrested and held for extradition.

Constantinople, April 16.-It is now

to secure their adhesion to the reform

ton the Albanians be allowed to choose
their own governors and civil officials
and that other minor concessions be
granted. The Porte has decided to es-
tablish a military campaign at Berizo-

concentrate there in view of possible
eventual operations against the Alban-

SENDING FOR BANK
CASHIERS NOW
St. Louis Grand Jury Wants Information From
the Source of Supply of the Money Said to
Have Been Used in the Missouri
Legislature.
ATTACHMENT FOR Gov
ERNOR LEE POSSIBLE

st. Louis, Mo-, April 16.-The grand
jury today took up the baking powder
investiga ton where it was broken off
last night by adjournment. One of the
most important moves yet made in the
legislative Doodle inquiry is the Is
suance of subpoena duces tecum by the
St. Louis grand jury on the cashier of
the Steelvile (Mo.) bank, requiring him
to bring books and checks before that
body. 1t was in this bank that the
funds supplied by the baking powder
trust are said to have been kept for
disbursement. In this connection, Cir
cult Attorney Folk has wired Attorney
General Grow to subpoena State Sena-
tor F. Fl. Farris who is supposed to
know considerable about the fund.
Among the witnesses to be examined
today is Speaker James Whtecotton,
presiding officer of the last house, who
first made the charge of boodling. His
testimony is wanted chiefly in connec-
ton with the alleged use of money in
the passage of the free school book
bill Lieutenant Governor Lee will be
the star witness here today if he ar
rives from Jefferson City. Owing to his
physical condition it is not certain that
he will leave the capital. In case he
does not, Circuit Attorney Folk says
he will issue an attachment for him to
appear on Friday
Circuit Attorney Folk this afternoon
telephoned Roland Hughes, prosecuting
attorney of Kansas City, to subpoena

FORMAL DEMAND FOR OFFICE
Appropriation Bill Passed by the
Colorado Legislature is Tied
Up in Legal Proceed.
ings. -

Denver, April 16.-The total amount
of the embezzlement of w. c. Hunsell
fiat tax clerk, is $10,OS7. OF this amount
nearly $1,000 has been repaid to the
state treasurer by Former Auditor
Crouter. The statement that former
Insurance Commissioner Howe was
suspected as being confederate of
Munsell, is a mistake. He had nothing
to do with the shortage.
FIRE AND POLICE BOARD.
Denver, April 16.-The fire and police
board appointed by Governor Peabody
took the oath of office before Judge
Palmer this morning and after filing
the same with the county clerk went to
the office of the fire and police board
and made a formal demand for the Of
fees. Quo warranto proceedings will
be brought in the supreme court in
few days to test the right of the present
board to remain in office. Pending a
decision of this court, the newly ap-
pointed officers will make no move.

Denver April 16.-Attorneys for the
News and Times have served notice on
State Auditor John A. Holmberg and
State Treasurer whitney Newton to re-
fuse to draw warrants or honor any
drawn on the appropriation bill signed
by the governor last night. The state
officers were informed that the bill
signed by the governor was not the one
signed by the presiding officers of the
house and senate and that suit would
be brought to test it's validity in the
courts
