educated.
SON OF A GENERAL
John Gunde president OF the German
Aid society, said he hoped Won Bothmer
would not find his wife and children.
Won Bothmer" he said, according
TO his story TO me- is a former major in
the German army and a son OF Gen. Won
Bothmer, who served In the Franco
Prussian war and was in 1871 governor
OF the province OF Hanover.
Won Bothmer came here with his fam

but he wouldn't take 1t.
I'VE learned that he compelled his
wife to get out and work and she has

baby the strychnine. II woke up and
cried while Its mother was gone and
mixed up a little strychnine in glass
with some water and gave a spoonful TO
the baby.
II really did not quite mean TO harm
any OF them. When Gertrude came home
and found the baby dead she got awfully
nervous. She came 20 me and said
Mary, can't you give me something TO
quiet me. something that you take
yourself
II said that would. and really
didn't think that IL would hurt her II
gave her ane OF the capsules She had
spasms right after that. and I suppose
that II was the strychnine that killed
her
Then John seemed to feel so badly
about II. so broken up. that often
thought after Gertle died that Il would
be better N he were 10 GO too
John was feeling bad one night n

CHANGES IN EASTERN LEAGUE

President p. T. Powers OF the Eastern
League went to Rochester yesterday sf-
ternoon To discuss the local baseball sit
uation with the owners OF the Rochester
club A meeting was held yesterday at
the Powers hotel and lasted until after
midnight. President Powers was accom-
panied here by Messre. Pierce and Kreit-
ner OF the Buffalo club and President Far
rell OF the New York state league. Az
ter the meeting IL was stated that notn-
ing had been definitely decided upon.
Offers for the Rochester franchise
were received from several cities. In
cuding Paterson. ~. j.: Wilmington Del !:
Reading. Pa; Richmond. Va, and
Hamilton and London. Ont All OF these
places were willing 10 take the franchise
and assume all obligations OF the club
from June 1. but would not pay the Ro-
chester owners any money. This was
not satisfactory 20 the local mngnates,
who took the position that n the fran
chise was worth anything II was worth
paying for.
President Powers announced that he
was as satisfied with Rochester as with
any OF those applying for the franchise.
and said that he was OF the opinion that
the cub could be made n paying venture
IN this city. Although there could be no
confirmation secured. ~ is thought that
the visit Of Messrs Pierce and Kreit-
ner TO this city nj this time means that
the owners ~ the Puffalo club intend
forming n new company for the purchase
Of the Rochester franchise. and that they
will maintain the club In thAs city. An
other meeting OF the local msgnatee,
President Powers and the Buffalo men
will be held today

WELL KNOWN
LAWYER
MISSING
Promoter Reed Of Boston Alb.
sent a MOnth--Had Debts
Of Nearly 100000.

Boston. June 1l.-william Gardner Reed
formerly one OF Bostons leading lawyers
and Republican politicians, has been
missing from Boston for more than q
month. and none OF his many friends
appear TO know his present whereabouts
The news that Mr.. Reed had left the
city was an unpleasant surprise to a
number OF persons who allege that the
lawyer had. during late years, handled
funds aggregatins n large amount for
various investors to be placed In mining
deals
1t is sand that MT. Reeds indebtedness
Is In the neighborhood OF 10000. A num-
Der OF suits against him are pending In
the civil courts, and all available proper
ty has been attached by creditors.
Up to this time nothing OF direct
criminal nature has been brought against
Mr.. Reed. although last March inspectors
connected with the bureau OF criminal M
vestigation made Investigations In regard
to his dealings in certain mining proper
ties as the result Of complaints 10 Chief
Inspector Watts made by people who
claimed TO have been victimized.
However. the Investigations showed that
offences, IL any, were OF a civil rather
than a criminal nature.
Mr.. Reed had attractive offices I'm the
board OF trade building on State street.
He was formerly prominent because OF
the fact that he was law partner of
ex-Mayor Edwin ". Curtis.
That partnership was dissolevd In 1894.
Mr. Reed was an able lawyer. and his
friends say that IL ne had only attended
to the practice OF law ne would have
been one Of the leading members OF the
bar.
WAS A PROMOTER.
He became known as a promoter by or
ganizing the Hub Brewing Co.. which at
terwards went into the hands of re-
ceiver.
A great many politicians and liaudr
dealers bought stock I'm the company. and
when 1t collapsed many people lost much
money. Subsequently he was interest
ed In fully half a dozen mining schemes.
One OF these was the Down Town Mine
OF Leadville. Col. Othere were the RI
alto and United Verde, Jr.. also of Colo
rado. His latest venture was the Bos-
ton Julian Mine. which is located in Cal
ifornia.
In connection with all these mining
ventures. Mr.. Reed organized companies
and many OF them he became the treas
urer.
He prevailed upon his friends In the
business legal and political world to In
vest their money. but In nearly every case
the investments proved Improbable, and
Mr.. Reeds own possessions went along
with theirs.
Until recently MIR. Reed had occupied
with his family Ga wife and two sons)
the hauds0nla recidanea az o0T Raw Stata
road. Back Bay.
The property was valued at fully $3o 900,
but Mr.. Reed had only small equity

DAVIS BROKE OUT
IN AN OLD SPOT

In the midst of case in the Police
Court yesterday morning, George Davis
suspended proceedings long enough to
properly brand and label newspaper re-
porters in general and to the astonish-
ment of High Sheriff Brown expressed
the idea that reporters might properly
be brought into court on the charge
OF being ferocious animals. Brown was
conducting the prosecution in the case
of Huiko. charged with common mil
sance' in permitting ferocious or dan
gerous animal. namely a dog TO go
abroad. The dog had bitten KaeIepulu
a boy, and the evidence showed that
the biting had taken place inside Hu-
lko's renee In the midst of taking
testimony, Judge Davis suddenly broke
out with the remark: Mr.. Sheriff. Won
might bring in some of the newspaper
reporters under this section; you could
come pretty near proving them fero-
cious animals The Sheriff INQUIRED
the meaning of all this which was
somewhat eXtraneous to the case at
hand. After repeating his former re-
marks the judge added, They have no
regard for justice or truth" and with
increasing choler, '"They make criticism
of me for whatever 1 do. Go on with |
the case" Several times after that he |

N scathing terms denounced a criticism /

Judge De Bolt gave two rulings yes
terday in the big real estate suit OF
Mrs Emma Claudina Spreckels Watson
against Claus Spreckels. In the morn
ing he denied the motion to set aside
service and quash summons. while in
the afternoon he Yonfirmed as good the
authority shown by Humphreys &
great contest is therefore now on.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
Objections have been filed by Kinney,
Mechanism & Bigelcw to PLAINTIFF
proposed introductory decree in the
case OF Hannah Markham VS.. Uwini
johnson. 1t is set forth that the plain
tins bill alleged actions by the de-
PENDANT only from January, 1882, on and
prayed an accounting only for the
period covered in the bin. Therefore it
is contended she cannot at the present
date some in and ask to extend that
accounting back twenty years farther
The second objection is that under no
can the plaintiff have an
accounting against the defendant fur
Their back than September &c. 1894 as
up to that time Curtis p. Iaukea was
acting as the guardian OF the defend
ant and the rents and profits were col
ected by him. To go back further IS
TO attempt to get an accounting from
the guardian without making him a
party to the record. The final objection
S that under no circumstances can the
plaintiff get an accounting for more
han six years preceding the date of
he filing of the complaint. 1t is ar
sued at length that the burden of prov |
ng that the statute of limitations has |
lot run in the matter is upon the plain |

CHINESE LABORERS
GET THEIR RIGHTS

Word was received at the Chinese
Consulate yesterday to the effect that
the Chinese Inspector at this port, j.
K. Brown had received instructions
from Washington to release from GUS
tody two Chinese, Mok Kim, and Mok
Blu by name who arrived from China
on the City of Peking on June %, but
they had return permits. This is first
blood in a controversy between the
local Chinese inspector, acting under
regulations promulgated by the I'm
migration officials at Washington, and
the Chinese Consulate wherein the lat
ter contends, and the Inspector denies,
that when an American Consul at
Chinese port acting on evidence be-
fore him as provided by Treaty, grants
an extension of laborer's permit to
return, such act of the Consul is not
subject to review by the immigration
or Customs officers here.
The two Chinese in question were
registered laborers and left these ISL
ands to return to China some two
years ago. These laborers were given
their regular permits to be absent from
the islands one year, but 1t is recog-
nized that the American Consul in the
city from whence anv laborers might
come can extend the permit of the
Chinese if he finds after investigation
that the conditions are such that the
Cinnamon could not we'll return with
in the time allowed by the permit AS
in this case the two Chinese in ques-
ton, Mok Kim and Mok Blu, were not
able to return, and accordingly their
time was extended by the American
Consul in China. On returning to Ho-
nolulu, however. the men were stop
ped and refused landing by the Chi
nese Inspector at Honolulu. The
decision refusing them permission to
land was received June 30 and
approved on that date by the
Collector, his last act of authority |
over the immigration Office here, !
which was transferred to the De-
partment of Commerce July 81. The |
Chinese appealed to Commissioner OF |
Sargent at Washington, |
whose department was under the SUI
oervision of George B. Cortelyou, head |
If the Department of Commerce. At
torney c. W. Ashford prepared the
brief for the Chinese which was sent
IN to Washington and received several
LAYS ago. The Department evidently
acted on the matter at once renderiLg
/ decision in favor of the Chinese and
contrary to the decision of the local
Chinese Inspector.
