COL. BUTLER FREED.
MISSOURI SUPREME COURT SETS
ASIDE CONVICTION.
Nan Alleged to Have Attempted Brib-
cry Is Declared Not Guilty-Expert
Thieves Blow Open Safe and Loot
Laundry in Cleveland.

The Supreme Court in Jefferson City,
Mo-, reversed the decision of the lower
court in the case of Col. Edward But
Ter of ST. Louis, convicted at Column
bia, Mo-, in October, 1902, of attempted
bribery, and discharged the prisoner. The
specific charge against Col. Butler was
that he offered q bride of 81, 800 to DR..
Henry NJ. Chapman, a member of the
st. Louis board of health, TO induce
Chapman to use his influence in having
the board award the garbage contract
TO the st. Louis Sanitary Company,
corporation in which Butler was inter
ested. The jury fixed his punishment
at three years in the State penitentiary.
Butler Immediately took an appeal to
the Supreme Court and has been out on
bond since then. Final arguments on the
appeal were heard by the Supreme Court
Oct 13, 1903. The opinion was written
by Judge Fox and was cOncurred in by
all other judges. The court holds that
the board of health had no authority to
let the garbage contract, but that this
power belonged to the board of public
Improvements. The board of health,
having no authority to award this con-
tract, the defendant could not bride
members to do something which they had
no authority to do.

American Representative in Turkey
Beaten by Police.
The United States flag over the con-
sulate at Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey,
has been hauled down and Consul W. T..
Davis has left his post for Beirut in
consequence of a serious diplomatic in
and assaulted by the local police.
The affair grew out of the arrest of an
Armenian Ohannes Attarian, who is a
naturalized American citizen. Attarian
had been in prison at Aleppo during the
last two months and had just been liber-
ated through the Intervention of the
American consular agent on condition
of his leaving the country forthwith. Mr.
Davis was accompanying Attarian on
board a departing steamer when the po-
lice intercepted the party, assaulted and
insulted Mr. Davis and despite the re-
sistance of the consul and his guards
arrested Attarian and took him back to
prison.
Mr.. Davis Immediately lowered the
flag over the consulate and formally
broke off relations with the Turkish au-
thorities by leaving Alexandretta, plac-
ing the consulate in charge of the vice
consul. A mob of Moslems seized the
occasion to make a hostile demonstration
against the consulate and against Chris
tians generally.
The State Department at Washington
promptly cabled Minister Leishman at
Constantinople to make a thorough in
vestigation of the affair.

High School Secret Society Puts Life
of an Initiate In Peril.
A secret fraternity has been discoy-
cred in Mission high school in San Fran
cisco, which subjects its members on in
itiation to branding with red-hot iren
and to beatings and mutillation which
often render the victims unconscious and
usually results in their sickness for days.
The society, which is known as the Al
pha Mu fraternity, has spread through
the high schools and the technical schools
of the city, so that it has considerable &C
tive membership, proud of scars and
brands that will remain through life. But
for the torture to which Albert Short
of 211 Clipper street was treated at
an initiation the character of the society
might not have been discovered. Young
Short may die as a result of the brutal
treatment he underwent, but he refuses
to give any information, saying he is
bound by an oath not to reveal the Sc
crets of the lodge room. Sylvester b.
Boarman, who lives at Castro and Eigh-
teenth streets, submitted to the torture
to prove his fitness for membership in
the fraternity. He admitted, with
show of pride, that he was branded with
red-hot iron. THAT was not the worst
of it by any MEANS" said he.
