Cruiser cleveland Falls Short.

Washington: The Acting Secretary
of the Navy has received telegram
from Captain Train, president of the
Board of Inspection and Survey, dated
at Portland, Me-, stating that in the
speed trial of the protected cruiser
Cleveland over the New England
course Tuesday, the speed developed
was l6.459 knots without tidal correc-
tions, which, he added, were immater-
ial. The contract called for a speed

Mystery Envelopes
Warrenton Tragedy
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Yeator ere
Found Dead In Bed

warrenton, Mo-: The brutal muir.
der Of Henry w. Yeater and his wife,
which occurred at their home on the
farm, about seven miles north Of here.
Sunday night, is still shrouded in mys-
terry.
Willie Church, the adopted son Of
the Yeaters, is thought to have written
the note to the rural-mail carrier, in
which he said:
"Mr. and Mrs. H. w. Yeater have
been killed; please report"
According to all the circumstances
and evidence collected, the crime was
committed in the fore part Of Sunday
night Mr.. and Mrs. Yeater, the MUIR
dered couple, had retired in q bedroom
on the FIRST floor.
The old mans throat was cut from
ear to ear, and, while his bed was sat
1irated with blood, the orderly shape
of the bedding showed that he strug-
gled but little and that life was soon
extinct. He was probably the first to
fall victim to the assassin.
Mrs. Yeater, who had been sleeping
on a cot at the foot Of her husbands
bed, was found lying on the floor, face
downward.
Her throat was cut in three or four
places, and several bruises and cuts on
various parts of the body, besides the
torn condition of her nightgown, plain
ly showed that she engaged in fierce
battle for life with her slayer.
A search OF the house showed thai
every drawer, trunk and box of the
house had been ransacked. The muir
derer emptied old man Yeager's peck
et-book, containing probably SIS, and
took with him all Of his clothing.
Young Church has disappeared, anC
there is no clew to his whereabouts
Just why he should have taken fiigh
IS not positively known. Some have
suggested that he was frightened b!
the tragedy.
The last time Church was seen b!
any of the neighbors was on last Sun
day evening about o'clock
Sheriff Polster and a posse are max
ing a diligent search for him, but s,
far no definite clew to his whereabout
or the course he took for his flight ar
known.
The County Court will offer a re
ward and the Governor will be aske
to do likewise.
Church was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Yeater when he was years old Hi
widowed mother resides in Moberly
In 1899 he was convicted for stealing
gold watch from Mrs. ]. e. Young c
Warren, sister Of Mrs. Yeater. H
was sent to the Reform School a
Boonville and, after remaining ther
nine months, was pardoned by Coy
ernor Stephens on petition of Mr.
Yeater, who took him back to he

Sharp Warning
to Colombia
Refusal to Ratify Canal Treaty
May Force summary Action

Washington: "If Colombia neglects
to ratify the treaty unamended THE
United States will be forced to take
measures that win be source OF re-
greet to all friends Of Colombia"
This is the final wording Of long
cablegram Of instructions to Minister
Beaupre at Bogota, sent in the latter
part of July and announced for the
first time Friday. The sting in the
final words ranlIles deep in the breast
of Colombia and has led to such fric-
ton that the ratification Of the treaty
is now conceded to be practically Inn
possible, even should there be an ex-
tension of time.
DR.. Herran, Colombian Charge d'Af.
fairies, was shown the instructions to
Minister Beaupre the day they were
cabled Herran was asked to notify
his Government to the same purport.
He declined to do so. Since then the
relations of Or. Herran and the State
Department have been somewhat
strained and the criticism passed upon
the departments action by DIR. HeTran
has not mended matters.
Secretary Hay has asked Dr. Herran
whether or not the words attributed
to him in the interview are correct.
