Mrs. Mcknight Believed to Have
Taken the Lives of Eleven
People.

Detroit, June 11.-Eisht other persons
besides the three to- whose murder Mrs.
Mcknight confessed at Kalkaskia, Mich,
investigation shows, have died in the last
fifteen years under circumstances that, in
view of the woman's confession, are now
thought to be suspicious. All Of the eight
were either relatives or intimate friends
who died while living with Mrs. Me-
Knight or while she was at their houses.
All are said to have shown symptoms that
are now believed to indicate strychnine
poisoning. They are: Ernest Mcknight,
the woman's latest husband; James
Ambrose. her first husband, who died at
Alpena in 1887; Mrs. Mcknight, the wife
OF James E. Mcknight, who was a part
ner Of Ambrose; Baby Teeple, Mrs. Nc
knights niece; Eliza Chalker, another
niece who died at Grayling in May 1892;
Sarah Murphy, Mrs. Meningitis sister.
who also died at Grayling in February,
1898: Mrs. Curry, who died In Saginaw
in 1893 while Mrs. Mcknight was at her
mothers house, and Dorothy Jensen,
child who died in Craving while under
Mrs Meningitis care during the absence
OF her mother.
Investigation Of these deaths shows that
all of these persons except Mrs. Curry
were taken suddenly Ill and showed what
are now regarded as unmistakabIe symp-
toms of strychnine poisoning

THE JESUITS,
Removal of Historic Landmark of
the Order.

Baltimore. Md, Jan. 15.-The final
closing today of the historic old novi-
tiate at Frederick, Md. marks an
epoch in the career of the Jesuits,
which order has been prominent in the
affairs of Maryland since the landing
of Calvert in 1884 The novitiate has
been removed to st. Andrews-on-th
the south has ceased to be the center
from which novices are procured and
that the eastern states, particularly
New York, are more helpful to the So
ciety in this way than in the past.
The old noviatiate property at Fred
erick was bought in the early part of
the last century and is within stones
throw of the home of Barbara Friet-
chic and of the grave of Francis Scott
Key. Recently the property, which
had been offered to Cardinal Gibbons,
and refused, was sold to private par
ties and will be cut up into building
lots.
From 1854 to 1910, the Jesuits, al
though they ministered in Maryland,
were all educated abroad The novi-
tiate at Frederick was established in
1910 and the majority of the members
of the jesuit order in this country and
who have belonged to the order within
the last century were educated there,
which consequently renders it an i'm
portant place in the estimation of the
fathers.
The new institution located on the
Hudson is magnificent and complete
in every particular 1t starts on its
career with about 300 novices in
charge of Rev. J. H. O'Rourke, rector
of the novitiate.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-On new develop

ceived late yesterday subpoenas have

pany. of Springfield; Terrence Casey,

the operators of Illinois and Indiana.
Several witnesses summoned for yes
terday were heard today after which
the grand jury gave its attention to
the volume of documentary evidence.

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
important Convention to Be Held in
New York City.

New York. Jan. 15.-The Pan-Ameri-
can customs congress, one of the three
international gatherings arranged for
by the Pan-American congress held in
Mexico two years ago, was formally
opened in this city today. With but
one or two minor exceptions every re-
public of the western world is repre-
sented at the congress. The United
States is represented by Collector
Stranahan, of the port of New York,
exMayor William r. Grace, of New
York city; George w. Whitehead, ap-
praiser of customs at New York; |. F..
Fischer, president of the board of gen
eral appraisers; Special Deputy Col
lector ]. j. Couch and Commissioner of
Navigation Chamberlain.
The congress will endeavor to reach
an understanding which will simplify
commercial intercourse between the
United States and the Latin-American
republics and adopt a universal Amer
lean form of consular manifest, so that
the varying customs of regulations
may be simplifed at least by a com
mon mode of presentation of business
at the various ports. The bureau of
American republics at Washington will
be the distributing point for regula'
tions suggested by the congress.
The United States delegates will, of
course, take leading part in the con-
gress, but it is the aim of the represen-
tatives of this government not to at
tempt anything like a control OF the
meeting. Nevertheless, the United

"MONTE CRISTO."
Presented at Colombo Hall Last Night
Rip Van Winkle Tonight.

The presentation of Monte Cristo. a
drama that never fails to make a
strong impression on the audience, by
the Krause-Taylor company attracted
a large house.
j. c. Taylor, as the Count de Monte
Cristo,' held the crowded house by his
excellent and clever acting
The company in every way demon
strated their ability to handle this stir
ring old drama in manner that pleas
ed the expectant audience.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the theater goers but that the Krause-
Taylor company will give a good pres
entation of all the plays scheduled for
the remainder of the week.
Several clever specialties between
the acts changed the atmosphere of
tragedy and pathos into amusement
and mirthful laughter.
Rip Van Wrinkle the celebrated old
drama, which has been identified with
the success of Joseph Jefferson will
be presented tonight.
Tomorrow night Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde will be given.

BARRETT FINED.
For Suesing Tagliaferri He Will Have
to Pay $25 and Costs.

Robert Barrett, an apprentice of the
Santa Fe machine shops, who was ar
rested for beating up watchman Nick
Tagliaferri, was fined s25 and costs.
The case was tried before the police
judge few days ago and taken under
advisement. On account of Barrett S
age, and this being the fist offense he
has ever been charged with, the court
was as lenient with him as possible If
the case had been turned over to the
grand jury it is hardly possible he
would have been convicted on the evil
dence in the case.
That the boys were trespassers and
had no business on the company's
property is beyond question. Yet at
the same time there would have been
no fight had not Taglaferri courted it
by throwing a plank in front of the
moving car, which might have injured
some of the boys for life.
This will be a warning for the shop
boys to keep away from the yards on
Sundays and holidays when they are
not working.

SOUTHERN TRAGEDY.
Prominent South Carolina Editor Shot
by Lieutenant Governor.

Columbia, S. c.. Jan. 15.-N. c. Con
zales, editor cf The State, was shot
down on the street here today by Hon.
James II. Tillman, lieutenant governor
of South Carolina. The wound is in
the stomach and may be serious.
Editor Gonzales was on his way
home to dinner when he met Mr.. Till
man. Tillman was accompanied by
two state senators. 1t is said that not
a word was spoken as the editor and
lieutenant governor met face to face.
Tillman instantly drew revolver, it is
said by eye witnesses, and placing it
close to the body of Gonzales fired
without word Gonzales staggered
and then catching his balance turned
toward the man who had shot him.
Tillman had the smoking revolver in
his hand with the muzzle pointed at
the wounded man.
Coward" shouted Gonzales as he
was caught by parties who had rushed
to his assistance. Lieutenant Governor
Tillman was Immediately placed under
arrest and Gonzales was hurriedly car
ried to the Office of the Columbia State,
where medical aid was summoned. In
the city the widest excitement pre-
vailed and thousands congregated at
the scene of the shooting and at the
newspaper Office. Gonzales at this
hour, 3 p. m, is still in his Office. He
is perfectly rational and declares that
he has given no recent offense for the
shooting.
The cause of the shooting is sup.
posed to date back to the recent cam
paign, when Editor Gonzales made a
hard fight against Tillman. Tillman is
under arrest. He declines to make
any statement. Physicians report
later that the wound may be fatal.

ON TO WASHINGTON.
Judge Mcmillan Will COntrovart and
Dlsprove Charges Against Him.
CANDIDATES FOR the OFFICE.

Yesterday, The Citizen published
Washington special dispatch, giving
information that a New Mexico dele
cation had called upon President
Roosevelt and recommended the re-
moyai OF Judge ID. ii. Mcmillan, Of the
Fifth judicial district, and the appoint
ment of Judge A. A. Freeman, of Carls-
bad
Charges had been filed at Washing
ton against Judge Mcmillan, and the
dispatch says that the president de-
clared that Mcmillan would have to
answer charges made against him
relative to his conduct while on the
bench or resign.
In connection with the above dis
patch, Judge Mcmillan left Santa Fe,
where he was attending territorial SUI
preme court, yesterday morning for
Washington. carrying with him large
number of afiidavits and facts to con-
trovert and disprove the charges made
against him. II seems that he has
never been furnished with a copy Of
the charges and he goes to Washing
ton for the purpose of obtaining such
copy, and to answer the charges in de-
tail A special agent of the depart
ment of justive spent several weeks in
this territory investigating charges
and preparing a report upon them. but
of this Judge Mcmillan had no official
knowledge, and the special agent new
eli called upon him for any defense or
disproval of the charges.
News from Washington is to the eff
feet that Judge Clement s. Smith, of
Michigan, one of the district judges of
that state, and who is now upon the
bench, stands very good chance for
appointment should Judge Mcmillan
resign. Judge Smith Is said to be push
ed for the position by United States
Senator ]. c. Burrows. of Michigan.
Those who are pretty well acquaint-
ed with the circumstances of the case
believe that Judge Mcmillan will be
fully able to vindicate himself and to
disprove the allegation and charges
made against him, although it is un-
derstood that the report of the special
agent in this case is unfavorable and
sustains part of the allegations and
charges made against Judge McMil-
Ian.

Cuban Reciprocity Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed to report the Cuban reciprocity
treaty to the senate with two amend
ments. The first is the guarantee
against a further reduction OF the
sugar tariff which was adopted yester-
day and the other makes a reduction
of 40 per cent in the reduction Of the
duty on American cattle exported to
Cuba instead of 20 per cent. as provid-
ed in the treaty, as 1t was originally
transmitted to the senate. Senators
Bacon and Bailey cast their votes
against the resolution for favorable
report, but all the other votes were
in the affirmative.
