FOUND DEAD In HIS ROOM
STUDENT IN DENTAL DEPARTMENT,
MARYLAND UNIVERSITY.
His Roommate Unconscfous-Believ
to Have Been Roughly Used I'm
Fraternity Initiation.

BALTIMORE, Nov. S.-The police are in
vestigating the cause of the death of Mar
tin Loew. twenty-seven years old. a stu
dent in the dental department of the Uni
versity of Maryland. whose lifeless body
was found to-day in his room at his board
ing house. His roommate, Ephraim Stone,
twenty-three years old, was lying uncon-
.scious beside the bed. Loew is from ST.
lesia, Germany, and Stone halls from Cape
Town, South Africa.
Loew, 1t is said, has relatives in New
York. His body is at the morgue. 1t is
said the men were initiated last week into
the Phi Psi Chi, a college fraternity of
which many of the students at the univer-
sity are members. From bruises on the
bodies of the two men IL would seem that
they had been roughly handled. whether
from the initiation or otherwise is not
known, An inquest and post-mortem ex-
animation will be held by the authorities
Stone has been removed to the Maryland
University Hospital. He has regained con-
sciousness, IL is reported by the physicians,
but they will permit no one TO see him.
He is said TO be in an improved condition
tonight.
Stanley B. Smith. of st. John, NJ B.,
president of the fraternity, was arrested to-
night on the technical charge of assault
Twenty-Five members of the society have
been cited to appear before the coroner s
jury TO testify.
Late tonight Stone made rambling
statement as to the experiences of himself
and Loew during last night. Neither was
physically able to assist the other, he said
although each thought the ether was dying
in great agony. He claims that the bruises
on the bodies of himself and Loew are due
to "hazing by their classmates, but ad-
mits that he and LOew had been recently
initiated into the Phi Psi Chi fraternity.

the efforts of the physicians the yellow

where yellow fever has been epidemic, in

1t Will Depend on Judicial Decision
Three Points.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. s.-The Kratz case
Is expected TO occupy some time before a
settlement is reached. He Is entitled to de-
fend himself against extradition three
grounds only, namely: THAT the requsi-
ton is contrary to the provisions of the
Mexican extradition treaty.
THAT the defendant is not the person
whose extradition Is asked.
That the extradition is illegal because,
II granted, some one or more of the rights
secured to all persons under the Constitution
of the republic shall be violated
These instructions will be argued before
the district judge at Guadalajara, and
sustain the grounds of the defense Then,
on q decision by the district judge, the mat
ter is referred to the Department of For
eign Relations and the record will be ex-
amined by the executive OF the nation to
decide whether the extradition shall be
granted.

ISSUED BY THREE MEN, ONE OF
WHOM is UNDER ARREST.

at Lynn, Mass.-New York and
Dayton Authorities Advised.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. s.-What is believed
to be an extensive swindle was brought
TO light by the police to-day.
William S. Wells. forty-five years old, is
under arrest. charged with printing lottery
tickets and also larceny. and with obtaining
money under false pretenses. The police
claim that counterfeit tickets of several
lotteries have been sent from here to all
parts of the country. Wells made a par
tial confession in which he implicated a
man in Dayton, O., as being the head of
the plan, and New York man was named
as being the active manager. The police
refused to give the names of these two
men, but nave notified the New York and
Dayton police of Wells's arrest and con-
fession.
The plan of operation. according to
Wells's statement, was to set genuine lot
terry tickets and have Photographic plates
made from them. A record was kept of
the numbers of the tickets and a list of
drawing numbers was sent with each ship
ment, none of the numbers of the drawing
corresponding with any number of a ticket
in the shipment.

The town was wide OPEN again yester-
day. and drunks were numerous.
Probably the most Notorious resort in
the city at the present time is Burkharts

Maryland and South streets, and while the
church bells were ringing yesterday the
bartender kept time with his unceasing
tattoo on the keys of his cash register
Not one moment during the whole day was
lost by the owner of the place, and drinks
were dispensed as freely and with as little
fear of police interference on any week
day. Women, and girls In their teens,
satisfied their craving for drink, and Sum
day was made mockery.
Numerous men were drunk on the
streets, and the liberties allowed law
breakers were many. One lone saloon
keeper was arrested for violating the Mich
olson law. but his arrest. along with his
bartender. was forced upon the police by
a fight which occurred in his saloon.

Several drunks were locked behind the
bars, but no attempt was made to stop
the saloon men from selling liquor. All
that is required OF them is that they
stretch a curtain across the barroom. about
half way back, leaving a full view of the
bar from the street. Behind the curtain
is where the business is done. unless the
owner of the resort is fortunate enough to
have back room, in which case he need
not bother with curtains.
The conditions were worse yesterday than
they were last Sunday.
