TO GALL PEACE MEETING

Washington. Oct 22-In the course or
two days the president will dispatch
formal invitations to the powers to
name delegates to the new peace con-
ference to be held at The Hague.
The powers are invited to suggest a
date or dates for the meeting Of the
conference. Secretary Hay submitted
a draft of the invitation to the cabinet.
Notice of his intention to issue this
call was given by the president sew
eral weeks ago upon the occasion of
tho visit to the White House of the
delegates Of the parliamentary
Union, and the formal invitation has
been in course of preparation e d.
since. There was no hesitation on the
part of the president in naming The
Hague in the invitation, hence, Of
course, It is assumed the government
of the Netherlands was first consulted.
The date of the meeting was left open
because, it is stated, that any one of
the powers has as much right to sug-
gest a date as the United States.-

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 22.-Mine cave
ins al Duryea affected the Lackawan-
ma river. letting a great food into the
workings of the Hallstead mine and
damaging much surface near the Po-
lish Catholic church. A score of
houses also suffered damage. The
mine was flooded during the strike
of 1902 from similar causes, the water
reaching nearly 80 feet up the shaft.
The water had just been pumped, and
the work of getting the mine ready
to operate had been about completed.
It may now be wholly abandoned. This
would mean the loss of over 100000

agent named by the commission was to
take charge of four of the customs
ports of the island and apply 60 per
cent. of the revenues to the payment
of the claims. The affair is not one in
which the United States government

pany. and then only to the extent Of
seeing that it's interests shall not suf-
fer through such neglect.

Franx Rasinger was in the county Jail
charged with her murder Led weeping
from the cemetery. Rasinger was taken
to the ecene of the crime, and in the barn
near where the woman had been brutally
shot to death he made a confession. Ras-
niger broke down under the strain of
a sweating process conducted by for
mer County Detective j. Frank Lore
who had been engaged by. Prosecutor

While the murdered woman was, still

when the save closed over the victim of
the tragedy they suddenly assumed an

ening Realizing his danger, lawyer
had been sent for, and then ensued a
desperate race between the detective,

A Tragedy Of Passion.

The crime was inspired by motive
rare in the records of wife murder. No
sudden flare of murderous passion, but
the long, smouldering flame of bafied de-
sire led 10 the tragedy. Rasinger and
his wife had had many quarrels since
the birth of their ten-months-old baby,
and the foul crime was the termination
of a difference such as had often arisen
between them. "
The young wife had a dread of family
cares and had confded it to neighbors
that it had caused trouble between her
self and Rasinger, and once she is said
to have declared she would end her life
rather than again undergo marital obli-
cations. Her rcpulse OF her husband
while she was at work in the Kitchen
last Tuesday led TO the murder accord

Chicago Police Officials
Tell of Their Plans to
Stop All Speculation
NEW TRACK MAY OPEN
If Washington Park Closes
Syndicate of BOOkmakers
May Revive Old Course

CHICAGO, June 14.-Assistant Chief
Of Police Schuettler has announced
that he will have 100 policemen at
Washington Park Saturday to make
sure of being able to carry out Mayor
Harrison's order to prevent bookmak-
ing at the race meet. Detectives, it is
declared, will locate each bookmaker
and provide for him a guard Of three
patrolmen. Others will be scattered
throughout the crowd with orders to
arrest any persons caught attempting
TO make a bet, even by a wink or
a nod.
If there is TO be no bookmaking at
Washington Park on Derby day there
will be none in any part of the city.
1t was discovered to-day that the wire
cables connecting the hand bookrnak-
ers and their clearing house had all
been cut by some unknown person,
rendering the extensive wire service
useless. This has effectually stopped
taking racing news outside of the track
and disseminating it to the various
clearing houses down town.
n was reported to-day that an un-
known syndicate of bookmakers had
secured an option on an old race track
near Libertyville, in Lake County, and
was engaged in putting it in shape so
that If the Washington Park track is
closed the new track will have first
call on the dates formerly awarded to
the Washington Park Club.
