President Receives Attorney General
 Knox-Root's Retirement.
 OYSTER BAY. N Y., Aug. 11.-At- torney General Knox has arrived to have a conference with the president. He took luncheon at Sagamore Hill and probably will remain with the pres ident most of the day. The president desires to go over with him certain matters now pending in the depart ment of justice, including that phase of the Littauer-Lyon glove contract case which was referred to the attor- ney general.
 The attention of the president has been directed to a circumstantial state ment published that Secretary of War Root expected soon to retire from the cabinet and be succeeded by Governor Taft of the Philippines. It can be said that there is no definite foundation for the story.
 The president since the first intima- ton many months ago of Secretary Roots possible retirement has hoped, and still hopes, that he will remain in the cabinet for long time yet. He be- lieves that the secretary certainly will remain through the coming winter and probably much longer time.

i AN EXPERT THIEF.

"Red" Heyle IstCGptured at Last Tn
 ,t ~ New York.
 NEW YORK, Aug. ,11.--It remained for a visitor to this country from Ger many to capture man claimed to be the most experienced hotel thief in the United States. The German visitor, Herr Abel Alfred Borit, found the man in his room at the Herald Square hotel, grappled with him and held him until the police arrived. The man was iden- tified as Red Heyle, who is wanted in almost every large city in the coun- try. T
 For some weeks hotel robberies have been reported at police headquarters here and it is believed that Red" knows something about them. In some of these robberies even the sheets and pillow cases were taken. Heyle regis tered few days ago at the Herald Square hotel as John Horner, and early Sunday morning he slipped into Herr Borit's room while the latter was out and was about to walk off with $2,00O in cash when captured.
 When he was arraigned in Jefferson Market court he was identified by Gen. tral Office Detectives Kane, Clarke and Peabody as the famous Red Heyle, who is wanted everywhere, but who always managed to escape.

Mayor Weaver Tells How Accident
 Was Caused.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11.--Mayor Weaver personally interested himself in the investigation into the cause of the collapse of the promenade at the Philadelphia National League Baseball park Saturday, which resulted in the death of nine spectators and serious in- jury to nearly 200 others. The mayor, accompanied by Director of Public Safety Smyth, visited the ball park, and later the two officials held con- ference with Coroner Dugan. At the coroner's request Director smyth will not issue, permit for rebuilding the walk until after the inquest.
 Mayor Weaver after his visit to the baseball grounds said:
 ''I can readily see how the accident happened. The floor of the promenade was covered with tin to keep out the water, but instead the water leaked in and routed the wood. As for the re- sponsibility, it rests with the people who constructed the walk and with those whose duty it was to keep it in reDair"

Resolved to Carry the Burden as He
 Best Can. er
 ROME, Aug. 11.-Pius K. had an other fatiguing day, as he received all the delegations which had come to Rome to attend the coronation ceremo- nies. He accorded a lengthy audience to about 300 from Venice, receiving them in the Clementine hall. The pom tiff allowed all the members of the del egation to kiss his hand and called by name those whom he knew just as he had when he met them formerly in Venice. He said to them:
 'I am poor mortal, too weak for the heavy cross which God has given me. But his will be done. will carry it as best can, and you must all pray to our Lord to give me the necessary strength" His old Venetian friends agree that the pope looks ten years older than he did before his election, but that his affable and simple manner had not changed.
 Itbeing St. Lawrence's day, the name day of .Abbe Lorenzo Perosi, the direct or of the Sistine choir and close friend and protege of Plus K, the pope sent him his personal greetings, ac- companied by an autograph note, con- graduating him on the music given by the Sistine choir during the coronation ceremony, most of which was composed by the abbe.

WHITE GIRL DASHED
Miss De Cris' Case Is to Be Probed by a Commission.
FEELING RUNS HIGH AT ATLANTA.
Warden AngOod Is Reported to Have Whipped Female Prisoner With Leather Belt For s"Talk-
 ing BacES'' to His Wife.

<
 ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 11.-Governor Terrell has ordered the state prison commission to make a full tnvestiga- ton of the whipping of Miss Mamie De Cris, the white girl, at the state farm by Warden Allgood and to report the finding to him at once. ...s-....
 This action follows the resolutions passed by the Georgia legislature call ing for an investigation of the whip ping. ..- \
 She is reported to have been whipped for talking back to the wife of the warden. It is further reported that the woman was whipped by Warden Allgood while the prison physician looked on.
 It is claimed that she was laid across a bed and given thirty lashes with a leather strap thirty inches long and three inches wide.
 The investigation will probably be- gin today. Feeling against the out rage is very high. Governor Terrell has expressed himself against it.
 The most amazing feature of the whole affair is the lack of interest manifested by prison officials. The rules of the prison do not forbid the flashing of women as well as men pris- oners. The officials of the prison who ordered the young woman punished and who executed the orders have not even been reprimanded. One of them, Captain Foster, it is said, will not be reelected when his term expires this month.
 This, however, is not due to the whipping of Mamie De Cris, but to the fact that he has criticised the state convict system, and will be disciplined by the prison commission.

0ufRa1O Has Murder and Suicide by
 Kent T. Stowe.
 BUFFALO, Aug. 11.-Kent Stowe son of ED. Stowe, general central agent of the Merchants Dispatch and Transpor- tation( company of this city, is dead at the hospital here. He shot his wife, killing her instantly, and then shot himself The father of young Stowe has made a statement, in which he says his son had been Respondent since his attack of malarial fever and that they were very much worried about his con- dition. This was confirmed by the fam- fly physician, who added that the young man was temporarily insane when he did the shooting, as his rela- tions with his wife were happy.
 The tragic death at Buffalo of MT. and Mrs. Kent T. Stowe, known to every one as Pauline Brown, at the hands of her husband and the .latter's subsequent death from a self inflicted wound caused 8 profound sensation at their home in West Dennis, Mass, where the young couple was regarded as a, model of domestic felicity. The theory of temporary insanity is gen. erally accepted. Mrs. Stoves natural tractiveness made her leader in so- ciety, while her husband was general favorite. The marriage two years ago, which was a brilliant social affair, was regarded as most happy union. Their devotion to each other since has been marked, and those who knew them most intimately scoff at the suggestion of family trouble. r Mrs. Stowe was twenty one years of age and an only child. Her father, the late Douglas E. Brown. was for many years an official at Charlestown state prison. Her mother, who Twas 8 guest of MT. and Mrs. Stowe at the time of the tragedy, is one of the four brilliant daughters of the late Captain Cyrus Fuller of this town. The fam fly have for years been prominent in church and society circles. )'

PARIS TUNNEL HORROR.
Eighty-tvvo Bodies Taken From Un-
 dergrOund Train.

Efghty-tvvO Bodies Taken From Un-
 derground Train.
 PARIS, Aug. 11--A catastrophe in which about ninety persons were kill ed, eighty-two of whose bodies have been found, occurred last evening on the Metropolitan Electric railway, which runs mostly underground. One of the trains which run on five minute schedules broke down at Menilmontant station, which is in poor and popu- lous section of the city. This train was promptly emptied, and the train which followed was ordered to push 1t to the repairing sheds. On the way these two trains caught fire, but the employees succeeded in escaping.
 Meanwhile crowded train reached Les Charonnes, the preceding station, and the officials, seeing smoke pouring out of the tunnel, gave the alarm. A panic ensued, the passengers strug- gIing to escape from the station. Amid the increasing smoke many attempted to return along the line toward Belle vile and were suffocated.
 The officials seem to have lost their heads and are quite unable to say how many passengers went out It is known that about half dozen who were par tially sufeocated were treated at a pharmacy near the station. The fire brigade was for long time unable to enter the station or the tunnel owing to the dense smoke
 At 8 o'clock this morning the firemen succeeded in flooding the burning mass. and shortly afterward they were able to enter the tunnel. They brought up the bodies of five men and two women, all belonging to the working class. The extent of the disaster was only learned when it became known that three empty trains were burned and a fourth was full of victims.

Martinique Swept by storm-Much
 Damage to Property.
 FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, Aug. 1.-The island of Martinique has been swept by hurricane of great violence It's duration was ten hours, and it was particularly severe during two hours at Fort de France, where it caused much destruction. Hundreds of houses were unroofed and several sailing vessels were badly damaged. The streets are cumbered with debris from the tiled roofs, and the roads are impossible on account of the fallen trees. which were literally torn up by the roots. Several towns on the is- land suffered considerably, principally Trinite, Ste. Marie, Carbet, St. Joseph and Francois. The storm moved in a northwesterly direction.
 The people of the island of Porto Rico were alarmed over the high southeast winds which swept over the island. Hurricane signals have been set by order of the weather bureau. Barbados reports that hurricane is headed northwest. There were heavy rains along the north coast of Porto Rico, but the barometer is now rising, and it is hoped that the danger is passed.

SHAMROCK PREPARING.

Cup Contest.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-A small ar. m&of backyard employees besides her own crew and some of the crew of Shamrock I. swarmed about Shamrock III. as she lay in drydock in the Erie basin and began the task of putting her in trim for the cup races. Half a dozen men hung in boatswains chairs scraping the paint from the mast, thir- ty others were securing her enameled underbody with send soap, while oth- CTS erected an awning over her decks to prevent possible rain from hamper ing the work. Once thoroughly cleaned she will be repainted and re-enameled. Captain Wringe does not expect to get her out of drydock before next week. The day before the first race with the Reliance she will probably be meas ured by the official measurer of the New York Yacht club to ascertain her racing length and whether either boat will have to give the other time allow- ance

Death Ts Gradual.

It Is becoming understood that death is often-if not always-a gradual pro- cess, cells or tissues remaining alive for hours or even days after the organism as whole is dead. Professor Herring points out that this is especially noticeable in some of the lower animals The action of ciliated cells from the gil1s of clam or the trachea of dead frog may be ob- served for long time under the micro scope, and when supplied with nutrient solution cells from frogs brain have been kept alive for more than a week. Hearts of animals often move long after removal from the body. The heart of a frog will beat for hours, and that of a turtle or snake sometimes for a week. Knowledge.

Terrell of Georgia Indorses Presf-
 dent on Lynching.
 ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 11.-Governor Terrell indorsed the contents of Presi- dent Roosevelt's letter to Governor Durbin of Indiana in regard to the re- cent action of the latter to prevent lynchings in that state. Governor Ter relI gave out the following statement:
 'T think President Roosevelt Is on the right line, and am in hearty ac- cord with the views he expresses The majesty of the law should be upheld, but at the same time there should be a prompt and speedy trial of the of lenders in the case of that crime which most frequently excftes the anger of mobs and leads to lynchings. and the punishment should not be delayed by technicaIities.
 We have so amended our criminal laws in Georgia. as, to have speedy trials by authorizing our judges to or der a special term of the court to try criminals.
 'tNo law, however strictly enforced, will absolutely stop lynchings for the crime alluded to, but speedy trials tend to lessen the number and practically serve as a preventive of lynchings for other offenses. @
 Tt is interesting in this connection to note that the mum lynchings in the north and northwest of late have brought forth such an expression from the press, while the number of them in the south has been so few within the same period as to attract little or no attention.o

. MILES PEACE PLAN.
Nations Ought to Agree to Reduce APmiAR

Armies.
 CHICAGO, Aug. II. - Lieutenant /General Miles passed through here on his way to San Francisco to attend the Grand Army encampment being held there. He said of his plan for the disarmament of the powers:
 .I would not abolish armies entirely, but reduce them to minimum. Our present army is at the rate of one sol- dier to every 2OOO inhabitants. A man of thirty years will live to see the United States contain perhaps 250,000,- GOO people. Then an army of 250,00O men would be a correct proportion. Let Germany with her 47,00O,O00 in- habitants maintain an army of 47,OOO and permit Russia, with it's 12O, ,00O, ,O00 people, to keep up an army of 10000. The relative strength of the nations would then be preserved. f
 "There should always be armies for police power, but the present military system of the world is artificial and if maintained will eventually plunge the world into disaster. Today it endan- gers the liberties of all men"

UNSELFISH PHYSICIANS.
No Other Profession Gives More foz Nothing to the Public Than
 the Medical.

There is a disposition often to scoff at the code of ethics by which doctors of medicine are governed-at the rule which brands as quack any practi- tioner who keeps for his own exclusive use and profit any discovery he may make of curative agent Yet there is no other profession which gives more for nothing to the public, and whose giving in that respect is abso- lutely without selfish motive, says the Cleveland Leader. . w.
 This is illustrated by a recent. state ment to the effect that the revenues of the medical profession in recent years have practically been cut in two by the hygienic reforms which have been brought about by the efforts of the doctors alone. That statement is we'll within the realm of truth Med- ical science is constantly striving to make it possible for the human race to get along with less medical treat ment Not only are the efforts of in- vestigators directed to the discovery of new and more effective remedies for disease, but to discover means of pre- venting the spread and even the incep- tion of disease. Broadly speaking, the doctors are working continually to de- prive themselves of occupation and revenue.
