SOCIALISTS
MAKE GAINS
Norwegian Elections Show That So
cialism Is Spreading in the
n Northern Districts.

Christiania, Sept. 10-It is now certain
that the conservative liberal coalition han
been victorious in the recent election, and
change In the ministry is assured.
The cause OF the ministerial defeat was
the financial policy Of the cabinet and it's
ambiguous attitude on the question of
the consular negotiations. The new cabi-
net probably will include DR.. George Ha-
gerup, the form conservative leader; Dr.
lbsen, the present minister Of foreign al
fairs. and Gunnar Knudsen, the recently
appointed minister of finance Parliament
VIII meet In October, prepared to sup
port peaceful solution of the vexed
problems In straightforward manner.
One Of the most striking features of the
elections was the development of social
ism IN the north. Tromsoe and Narvik
have become socialistic, and Finmarken
shows a radical majority. In Nordland
there are many socialistic electors, and
also IN the great peasant districts in the
heart OF the country. In the western dis
tr1cts most of the towns are conservative.
bergen, which was radical twenty years
ago. has become conservatives; so have
Ifondhjeni Stavanger and Christtania.
1t Is considered on the whole that the
elections shows that the Norwegians be-
lieve policy Of moderation best calcu-
lated to promote the special interests Of
Norway and the general welfare Of Scan
dinavia. = -

POSSE AFTER
A MURDERER
Man Kills His Father-in-Law and
Sallies Forth After More
Victims.
Tells His Wife He Must Kill Two
More Before He Kills
Himself.
ST. Louis, Sept 1o.-A special to the

St Louis, Sept. 10-A special to the
Post Dispat, from Waterloo, H.. says:
William A Hoffman, a young farm en-
ploye living twelve miles southeast OF
Waterloo clled his father law, Will
liam Brandt. to the door Of his house last
night and shot him to DEATH X ..a,
Then he rode back to his home. told
his wife that he had KILLED the old
hound. her father gave her 81 which he
said he wanted her to spend In christen-
ing their 4weeks- old daughter, Mary,
kissed her and rode away into the woods.
'I'II XIII TWO More" ..,a.
There are two men I must kill be-
fore 1 kill myself" he said to his wife,
before leaving.
The family Of DR.. Brandt offers reward
of $500 for Hoffman's capture. ... r.
Sheriff Thomas Ruch and large posse
are searching for him and expect at any
time to have a pitched battle with him.
He Is armed with shotgun and reVolV-
ers Just before killing his father-in-law
he purchased fifty rounds of cartridges.
Hoffman is good workman, strong and
athletic. The officers believe he was
driven to recklessness by whisky and; his
imaginary troubles. Before he murdered
Brant he told Herman Papes:
I'm one hour there will be a posse out
for me- But look out, I will shoot you
or Tom Ruch or anybody else who tries
to arrest me-"
Hoffman's wife says that as he left he
declared Il must kill two more people,
then myself" If the sheriff or MS
deputies try to arrest me, / must also
kill them
Man Is In Hiding.
Tom Ruch thinks Hoffman is hiding In
the woods near his home at Rock Cliffs.
He and his deputies are armed and ready
to shoot the fugitive at sight This en-
tire section Of Monroe county Is excited,
as the fugitive is regarded as desperate.
1t is not known who are the other two
persons he intended to kill, and both men
and women are. so badly frightened that
many will not leave their houses without
arms.
1t is supposed that Hoffmans motive for
killing his father law was that the olo
gentleman refused to increase his weekly
allowance. DR.. Brandt was quite wealthy
and had been practically supporting his
son-in-law and family. He gave Hott-
man a certain amount of spending money
each week

.SHAW'S SCHEME
FAILS l! Il TO WORK
Bonds Go Up and Banks Seek to Re-
tire Their Circulating
Notes.

Washington, Sept. 10.--Secretary Shaws
plan Of largely increasing the deposits of
public money in the depository national
banks has already had two good effects,
either of which separately, or both COM
bined, seem likely to defeat in measure
the object which the secretary hoped to
accomplish
The market price Of government bonds
mas advanced sharply. The obvious cause
IS Mr.. Shaw's announcement regarding
the federal deposits, since the bonds are
required by the treasury under the law
as security tor those deposits. Simulta-
neously with this rise In bond prices ap-
plications in large numbers from national
banks have come to the controller Of the
currency for the retirement OF circula-
ton. The high prices Of bonds in the
open market have evidently been very
tempting to national banking associations,
who see the advantage in retiring large
amounts Of their circulating notes, re-
gaining possession Of the bonds which they
had deposited as security for circulation
and selling them at a good profit over the
price originally paid Tor them. Thus,
while the volume Of circulation turnout
the country is being increased by the new
deposits Of federal money in the banks,
as Secretary Shaw desired, this adyan-
tage Is being offset by the retirement Of
national bank notes. =" -
