cerning Church Affairs in the Empire

Of returning. to the British Embassy

Had Been Thief, Hespecteu BUSINESS III an
and Forger by Turns.
Newark. N. 1.-THE suicide Of Charles
L. Roller in the Windsor Hotel in Mon

to paw for one bar he had sold and re-
turn the others. The affair was hushed
up.
Later he started in the real estate
and investment business in this city.
He showed business acumen and pros
pered to such n degree that within
few years he was regarded as rich
man.
One day, about two years ago, he dis
appeared. A few days later it was ru-
mored he had been putting out fraudu-
lent paper right and left. Then it came
to light that he was forger and en-
bezzler to the amount Of 100000. Some
of the most prominent men in Newark
were his victims. He was arrested in
California. brought back and tried. A
sentence of seven years in State Prison
was imposed.
After he had served eleven months of
the term he was released on parole.
He had revealed the secrets Of smug-
Cling system that had been going OH in
the prison, and for this service he re-
ceived conditional freedom. Then he
went to Yonkers. He came into view
again when he made murderous as
sault on his wife in New York City.
He was sent to an asylum, but released
in his uEcle's care.

FLED PONY INTO WHITE HOUSE:
Animal Carried Up on Elevator to Archie
Roossvelt's Room.

Washington, D. C.-Archie Roose-
welt, who is recovering from the
measles, had a visitor the other day
whose visit will do more to restore him
to health than all the medicine the doc
tor can give him. Soon after Archie
began to convalesce. he begged to be
allowed to see his spotted pony. 1t was
too soon for Archie to leave his room.
and Mrs. Roosevelt was compelled to
decline the request. Charles, the
groom, who looks after the pony and
who also is a great chum Of Archie,
thought the matter over and concluded
that if Archie wanted to see his pony
he should do so.
Without confiding his plan to anyone
he led the pony the other day into the
White House and along the corridor
into the elevator. The attendants were
too much surprised to say word, until
after the elevator had disappeared.
When the second floor was reached
Charles led the pony to Archie's room
and ushered it in. To say that Archie
was delighted expresses it mildly, and
the pony also seemed to enjoy the visit.
This is the first time that horse has
ridden in q White House elevator.

1t is denied that the Ambassador

the urgency Of the call. ~.

In the Departments note, Forwarded
to Ambassador McC Cormick, Russtas
attention Is called to the assurances
which repeatedly have been given the
United States relative to the .preseryaS'
Hon of the integrity Of China and the
continuance Of the open door policy
Russia also is reminded Of the severe
blow to American trade which must
fellow the granting Of the first two de-
mands, that no more ports or towns 10
Manchuria be opened, and that no ad..
ditional foreign consuls be adm1tfed.
Russia's reason for. contending for the
closed door In Manchuria is the claim
that, the open door there Is not aic0H-s
mercial but a political question, She
continues to assure the United States
that in some way this country's inter
ests will be protected In Manchuria.
The point is made tat as the Manchu-
rian demands are still fl negotiation
between st. Petersburg and Pekin, the
United States cannot expect that. Rus-t
sia make concessions until the fate Of
her demands has been. determined.t
When China has acceded to all Of these.

oetween this country and Russia which
will protect our trade interests. 4

those of trade and not, territory, Rus

certain trade concessions to the United

HANGED NEGRO COMES TO LIFE.
Question Now as to Whether He Can Be
Executed Again.

Mobile. Ala.-Two weeks ago negro
named Tom Barth was hanged at Wo-
dowee, Ala. and was pronounced dead
by q physician when he had been sus-
pended in the air for some time. The
body was cut down and turned over to
relatives. Soon afterward 1t was no
t'ced that the body seemed to have life
in 1t. and a physician was called and
administered restoratives. A few days
ago the news came to Admission that
the negro is so far recovered as to be
able to sit up.
This is the first legal execution to
take place in Randolph County. The
negro's neck was not broken. The
question now is: Has he paid the pen
city cxacted by the law, and can he go
a free man, since he has been declared
legally dead. The negro Is still In the
hands of his people, and there has been
no move to rearrest him.
The crime for which he was SEN
fenced to death was murder.
