Tells Of the Murder Of Alice Henninser
His Sweetheart.

Macon, Mo-. Dec. AFTER success
fully lodging capture for over two
weeks, Fred Strube, the murderer of
Alice Henninger, at Hanava, Ill. has
yielded to his conscience and surren-
dered to the local police. He con
fessed that he killed the girl and ex
pressed willingness to go back to Illi-
nois and stand punishment.
Strube had been working for a Ma
con county farmer and came to town
Monday. He met Chief OF Police
Woods on the street and at once gave
himself UP.
Later in the day he was examined
by City Attorney N. L. Lacy, and ad
mitted the charges against him. He
said that he struck Miss Henpinger
with monkey wrench because she
laughed at him when he pressed her
to marry him. They were in buggy.
he said, and both fell out of the ve-
hicle during the struggle. While on the
ground he again struck her and killed
her, and afterward buried her body.
Strube said he fled to Quincy, H.,
and while there passed a number OF
police on the street. During his story
he broke down and cried many times.
He said he was perfectly willing to go
back to Illinois land take his chances"
Strube declares he was driven to des-
peration by the refusal OF the girl to
marry him and that he was practically
insane when he killed her.
The police authorities at Havana. Ill,
have been notified. and Sheriff Frooker
is expected to arrive today for Strube.
A reward of S1.400 is outstanding for
his arrest and conviction. The prisoner
is 20 years of age. Miss Henninger was
% years old.
The murder of Miss Henninger was
revealed when her body was found bur-
led in a cornfield near her home on
Nov. is. by q crowd of neighbors who
had sought her for two days. Her feet
We're protruding from the sand. When
exhumed 1t was found that the skull
was fractured and there were many
bruises on the face and body. The
clothing was torn. showing that she had
made desperate fight for her life.
Ella Henninger. sister of the dead
| girl, was the last one who saw them
alive and her story is substantially as
follows:
Strube accompanied the Henninger
girls to box social and then took them
| In his buggy toward their home. When
| they drove up to the house he told Ella
| to go into the house, and asked Alice
to remain in the buggy as he had some
thing important to tell her. Strube
was seen to whip the horse, and the
vehicle and it's occupants disappeared
in the darkness
When Alice failed to return home
that night her parents became alarmed
and began the search

BARRED FROM RUSSIA.
American Jews Compelled to Obtain
Special Permission.

Berlin, Dec American Jews are
no longer permitted to cross the Rus
sian frontier without special per-
mission in each case from NJ. Won Pleh-
We, the Russian interior minister.
Most Americans travel to Russia by
way Of Germany. The practice until
the last two weeks was for the Rus
sian consul general here to wise the
Jews passports upon receiving state
ment of their purpose to visit Russia
and that their stay there was to be
temporary.
A reputable Jew. of San Francisco,
bearing letter from the state depart
ment at Washington. was assured at
the Russian consulate here that he
could not be admitted to Russia now
without special order from Minis
ter Won Plehwe. The Russian embassy
made the same statement.
An ordsr was obtained ultimately
from NJ. Plehwe thru the American
embassy at St. Petersburg. This new
restriction is an extension of the poll

OF the wise powers from the Russian

c.naral a.te. Make. Report.

Washington, Dec. 2.-MaJor General
]. c. Bates, who was sent to Colorado
to investigate the circumstances in the
Cripple Greek and Telluride districts,
has submitted his report to Lieutenant
General Young. chief Of stan of the
army. The report is dated Denver,
Nov. 90, and says:
Il find the disturbances at Cripple
Greek and Telluride amounted to In
ourrectton against the state Of Colo
RADIO. that mining, milling and other
business was suspended there by reas-
on OF intimidation. threats Of violence
and that the civil officers were not
able or did not maintain order. The
militia Of the state has been employed
and Is now employed at Cripple Creek
and Telluride. think employment OF
state troops necessary at both points,
and they are now giving proper pro-
lection to life and property. At Grip
pie Creek work has been resumed at
the mines and at Telluride one mine
has resumed operations and the own
ers inform me they propose to open
ether mines as rapidly as they can se-
cure workmen. It Is probable military
guards Will have to be maintained at
the points mentioned for. some time,
but understand It 10 the intention to
reduce the force as rapidly as clrcum-
stances will warrant, though in my
opinion no material reduction can be
safely made for some months.
..At this time United States troops
are not needed. There Is an unsettled
condition at the coal mines both In
Trinidad or the southern district and
the northern district, which may de-
velop into such disorder as to require
use OF troops. Should this occur, while
the whole available force of state
troops is employed at Cripple Creek
and Telluride. which Is now the case.
I think federal troops will then be
needed.
"At present, I understand no violence
IS being offered In the coal districts.
But little coal Is now being mined in
the Trinidad district and none in the
northern districts. Efforts are being
made to increase the out-put from the
former and to open up the northern
mines. learned of no conditions. such
as to interfere with the United States
mails, etc, that would make 1t the duty
OF the federal government to interfere
without application from the state
authorities"

the attention OF the German press and
official world yesterday and early to-'

greater than ever. But the feeling was
changed by the receipt Of the an,

The hope that war will be averted is
based to large extent on, the belief
that Great Britain will not earnestly
