MaSsacred by Band of Docs

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Minister
Lyon has reported to the State Depart
ment from Monrovia, Liberia under
date of November last, the details
of the massacre in the depths Of an
African forest of white missionary
named John T. Tate and all of his fol-
lowers, eighteen in number. 1t appears
that the. massacre took place March
15 1901, yet this, the first detailed ac
count, has Just come to hand in an
affidavit by Mrs. Mary L. Allen. a white
missionary. at Nouna Kroo, Liberia.
She had the story from sclne of the
native Doc tribesmen, who knew of the
killing.
Tate had a large mission and farm,
and besides he maintained a consider
able school in the jungle. Altogether
nineteen people were in the mission
when it was surrounded in the night
blythe tribesmen. The first man who
answered a knock at the door was shot.
The Interpreter next was shct and as
Tate appeared and tried to protect the
body of the Interpreter he, too, was
shot ard cut to pieces. The Docs then

house, cut off their hands and placing
the bloody members IN coffin, sent
them back to their people as trophies.
In explanation of their action the Docs
said:
I'VE have no fight with the white
man. But if we do not kill him now
he Will bring his country to make war
upon us.
Minister Lyon, on the strength of
this affidavit, communicated with the
Liberian Secretary of State with view
to securing fuller information and per-
haps the punishment of the perpetra-
tors of the massacre.

AUBURN, n. Y, Dec. 29.-Frank
White. a negro, was put to death in
the electric chair at the state Prison
here to-day for the murder of George
Glare, a farmer of Serbia, by shooting.
Six contacts, each Of 1740 volts IL am
peres. were applied before White was
pronounced dead. After the fourth
contact a strange gurgling in his throat
made the physicians step back and
Mortified the spectators. The contact
was quickly repeated, but still the
stethoscope recorded cardiac action,
and two more contacts were given.
During the second contact the head
electrodes flashed brilliantly and there
was an odor of burning hair. The exc
cutioner said it was the sponge be-
meath the electrode. He adjusted it
more tightly before the next shock.
Among those who made a test with
the stethoscope was DR.. L. B. Stein
of Buffalo, and he reported that the
heart had not ceased to beat When he

CANADA DEFIES
NAVAL TREATY
Building ArmOred Cruiser for
Service on Great Lakes De-
spite AnglO-American Pact
REOPENS OLD QUESTION
United States Government Not
Advised That New Vessel
Would Be Other Than Cutter

OTTAWA. Ontario, Dec. 29.-The
building Of a Canadian armored cruiser
FOR the Great Lakes has caused com
ment on the treaty supposed to restrict
such a movement. Under Secretary Of
state Pope points out that no treaty
exists between Great Britain and the
United States limiting the number and
armament Of vessels to be maintained
by the United States and Canada on
the Great Lakes. There is an agree
ment 10 cease placing them there after
six months notice by either country.
Pope doubts II it is binding.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-The State
Department has not been informed up
70 this moment that the Canadian Gov
eminent contemplates placing an ar
rnored cruiser or the lakes. in addition
10 the few small and insignificant naval
vessels now maintained there. Recent
" the Canadian Government laid'down
q couple Of revenue cutters for lake
serA ice. and although these. being OF
modern type were better vessels than
those heretofore employed for this
work. their construction was not re-
garded here as violating the treaty. 1t
appears that a United States naval Of
fcer visited the place where the vessels
were being built and examined the
construction. a fact that gave rise to
some feeling on the part Of the officials
when they learned Of the visit.
As soon as Congress reconvenes after
the holiday recess there viii be a re-
newaI. without doubt, Of the attempt
which has been made annually for the
last ten years TO secure a repeal or
modification Of that section Of the
Rush treaty between the United States
and Great Britain that limits the use
Of naval vessels on the lakes. Repre-
sentative William Alden Smith Of
Michigan. believing that the Canadian
Government is about to enter a formal
protest against the location Of the
proposed United states naval training
station on the Great Lakes. is prepared
TO renew with force the attack upon the
Rush treaty. holding that it has had a
paralyzing and disastrous effect upon
the important shipbuilding industries
Of the Great Lakes. as otherwise they
would be in position not only 70 supply
themselves such naval vessels as might
be needed for training purposes on the
lakes. but also 20 enter into competi-
tion with the deep sea shipbu ders for
larger naval construction.
