A story is made public today to the ef-
feet that Rufus Cantrill, the negro leader
of the alleged ghouls, of whom thirty-nn
are under indictment, revealed the secrets
of the gang because he found the body of
his sweetheart, Stella Middleton, in a medi-
cal college when he returned to the city
after an absence of several days.
He did not know that she had died while
he was away, and, according TO his story,
which he is said to have told before the
grand jury. he was so wrought up over the
discovery that he made full confession to
the prosecutor.
1t was this confession that brought to
light the wholesale devastation Of grave
yards around Indianapolis.

THE NEW CRUISERS.
Contracts Divided Between the Cramps
and New York Company.

NOuCTdCCS D1V1QeO between Lu0 NTdQpS
and New York Company.
The Navy Department today decided upon
the award of contracts for the two 14,5O0
ton armored cruisers Tennessee and Wash
ington.
The bid of William Cramp & Sons Of
Philadelphia, Pa, for two vessels at $4,-
035,O0O has been accepted for one vessel,
with the stipulation offered that the plans
of the government shall be followed.
In view Of the fact that the New York
Shipbuilding Company Of Camden, N. j.,
one Of the best equipped shipyards in the
world, is the only large shipyard In the
United States not now accustomed to naval
work, and as this company was also the
lowest bidder for two ships on the govern
ment's plan, the second vessel has been
awarded to 1t at the same price Of 81, ,O35 600.
The only bid received from the Pacific
coast was 81 ,365, coo, which was not within
the per cent increase over the lowest ac-
cepted bid allowed by law for vessels built
on that coast.
These awards were approved by the
President as required by law, at today's
meeting of the cabinet.

A TEST OF ENDURANCE
STRIKERS AND EMPLOYERS NO
NEARER AGREEMENT.
How Long Situation Will Demand
Presence Of Militia is Matter
of Conjecture.

WATERBURY. Conn.,, February 3.-Re-
newed violence in the shape Of the stoning
of cars developed just before noon in the
Brooklyn district. and a company of in
fantry was dispatched to reinforce those
on guard at the point of disturbance.
Quiet this morning succeeded the street
disturbances with which the National
Guardsmen were compelled to cope last
night.
The stone throwers who. under cover OF
darkness, attacked cars on nearly all the
lines Of the Connecticut Railway and Light
Ing Company, in spite Of the efforts OF
numerous military patrols. disappeared
after midnight, when the last battered car
had pulled into the barn.
On Guard All Night.
The militiamen remained guard duty
about the power house, car barn and other
places for hours after that, but there was
no further demonstration from the strike
sympathzers.
The company resumed this morning the
effort to run cars on schedule time. Nom
union motormen and conductors manned
the cars. No militiamen were sent along as
guards today, that precaution being
sidered unnece ssary in daylight
Bus lines operated by the strikers were
again in evidence on the streets occupied by
to receive the greater share of passenger
traffic.
Test of Endurance
How long the situation will demand the
presence of the troops is matter of con-
lecture. but officers of the two regiments
believe they will be kept here at least a
week.
The railroad company and the trolley
mems union are at a. deadlock over the de-
mauds of the men. and it promises to be a
test of endurance which may be prolonged.
The strikers insist that two discharged
employees, one of whom is presiden of their
union, shall be reinstated that the union
shall be recognized and a wage increase
granted.
The company has absolutely rejected
these demands and has announced de-
termination to run it's lines with non-union
men with the military here to suppress vio-
lence.
meanwhile the strikers union, while repre-
eating the riotous proceedings of some Of
their Sympathizers, continues to assert that
the railroad company management is re-
sponsible, because of it's arrogant atti-
tude.'

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.
Steady Progress Being Made in Botl
Branches Of Congress.

Branches Of Congress.
Steady progress is being made with the
antitrust legislation which is being ad-
vanced in Congress. Speaker Henderson
today told Representative Littlefeld of
Maine that he could have the right Of way
in the House for consideration of the Lit
tlefield antitrust bill as soon as the post
Office appropriation bill is out of the way.
The Attorney Generals bill to expedite
the trial Of cases brought in United States
courts against offending trusts was report
ed favorably today from the Senate COM
mittee on judiciary, and will be brought up
in the Senate for consideration in the near
future. The conferees on the Department
of Commerce bill, which contains the clause
creating the bureau of corporations and
providing for publicity expect to make
progress this week.
1t Is certain. therefore, that within a
week. or ten days all the antitrust legisla-
tion will be well In hand. It is quite prob
able that the House and Senate managers
will confer and will agree upon an outline
of antitrust legislation incorporated in O
conference report on some one of the sew
eral measures now pending. There Is no
disposition in any quarter to resist the
enactment of the modified form of anti
trust legislation which now Is proposed. No
situaefoAa the Senate Is likely to hold
back action, and It is assured that the Pres
ident will have In his hands In ample time
for examination and signature an antitrust
law.

DISTURBANCES IN HONDURAS.
A Warship Will Be Sent to Protect
American interests.

Disturbed conditions in Honduras, grow
ing out Of the recent presidential elections
in that country, have caused certain Amerf-
can commercial interests to appeal to the
government here for protection from an
ticipated damages to their properties. Mr..
Bonilla, who was elected to the presidency
Of the country has taken refuge on ANA
pala Island, where he is organizing force

in that quarter, and the Navy Department,

about to dispatch the U. 8. S. Boston, or
perhaps the flagship New York, from San
Francisco down the west coast to Amapala.

MORE CONFIDENT.
French officials Anticipate Adjustment
of Negotiations.

PARIS, February 3.-The advices received
here from Ambassador Jusserand, summar-
izing the status of the Venezuelan negotia-
tions at Washington, lead the officials to
express more confident expectations of an
adjustment Of the difficulties than at any
time previous.
The tendency here appears to be toward
allowing the allies a month or other brief
period for priority collection of the customs.
AS It is estimated that the amount which
would thus be collected will not exceed $2O,-
600, it is considered that 1t will not. inter-
fere seriously with ultimate equality In the
treatment of all the claimants.
1t is further said here that the negotia-
ttons have developed general disinclination
to consider reference to The Hague court
of arbitration as a means of terminating
the differences.

CAPT. HoBsON's CASE.
Officials Differ as to Allowing Him to
Resign.

Some naval officials are unwilling to al
low Constructor Hobson to retire from the
navy, even upon resignation outright and
the abandonment of the privilege Of going
upon the retired list. The reason for their
unwillingness Is the pressing need Of the
construction corps for the services Of just
such officers as Mr.. Hobson, and an effort
will probably be made to induce him to re-
main in the service. The construction corps
has lost the services Of four able officers
during the past year. and with the rapidly
increasing amount of construction work the
Navy Department feels the drain seriously.
On the other hand, 1t Is said that Secre-
tary Moody and Rear Admiral Taylor IA
vor the acceptance Of the resignation, on
the ground that Capt. Hobson has lost
interest in purely naval work and desires to
take up more congenial civil pursuits.

CAT SHOW HOAX
Beautiful Sleeping Gray Cat Turned Out
Silver FOX
Muff

Visitors went into raptures over the
wonderful beauty Of a cat entered at the
Beresford Cat club exhibit by Miss Louise
Fergus, a Rogers Park young society
woman and youngest member of the board
of exhibitors. This alleged Persian cat of
high degree and exquisite fur was curled
up in a pink satin cage, but was always
asleep and the, attendant would not per-
NIT visitors to awaken him.
The sleeping beauty became quite the
rage. When the judges, dignified and
blase, came to see the wonderful cat they
could not restrain feminine cries of ad-
miration. They informally decided that
that Rogers Park entry would take high
honors, and when they came to casting
up for points and for classifying the ami
NAL the discovery was made that the fine
Persian cat was only a silver fox muff.
