IT PROVED A FIASCO.
The independence Mass Meeting In
Manila, Sunday, Proved .
Flat Failure.

Manila, Oct. 1.-THE proposed mass
meeting in favor of Filipino independ-
ence, Sunday, prov ad a great fiasco'
About $50 of the more ignorant Fill
pinos and some 80 of the better classes
assembled at the National theater.
Senior Sandico, leader of the move
ment, appeared, spoke to the little
gathering for two minutes and then
dismissed it. The incident may pos
sibly be beneficial, as demonstrating
the impossibility of disturbing Amer
lean progress here. Sandico declares
that he will speak in the streets, prais-
ing Americanism and not mentioning
independence. His flop makes the In
dependence movement ridiculous.

10 the Bourse Gazette from Mukden,
oateu SUNDAY, says: The general sit
uation at the seat of war has material

6iansian. The japanese are thus CIV
ing up not only the positions which
they occupied after the battle of Lao
Yang, but places they had previously
taken"
The japanese appear to be concen-
trating their forces on the fortifica-
lions formerly occupied by the Rus
slams on the right bank of the Taitse
river. which are exceedingly strong,
and they have an equally good defense
north and south. The Japanese retired
from Bentsiaputze, almost without a
struggle, fearing that Gen. Mitschen-
kos Cossacks would surround the posi-
ton and cut them of.
Bentsiaputze is of the highest I'M

WOMAN ARRESTEOON AN
ACCUSATION OF MURDER
Canton Tailor Killed in His Store
Woman Who Says She Was
His Wife Is Held.
TWO ALLEGED WIDOWS

CANTON, o., May 22.-George II. Taylor,
aged thirty-two, single. was shot and al
most instantly killed at his store at the
American wooden mills soon after midnight
Some time after closing he returned to the
store for an overcoat. He was shot at the
doorway by some one just inside or in the
vestibule. About all he said before he died
was that a woman did it.
Grace Battorf, who claims to be Mrs.
Taylor, was arrested to-day and is in Jail
on suspicion of the murder.
Circumstantial evidence that points
against her is that she quarreled with Tay-
lor on Tuesday and was discharged from
employment with the company. She admits
that when he said he would shoot her if she
bothered him any more she replied, Not II
1 shoot you first"
4 She claimed to be Taylor's legitimate
wife. but repeatedly said their marriage
ceremony was a mere mockery and was
performed in a Cleveland hotel in March
OF last year by fake minister. Another
woman, Lillian Taylor, claiming 10 be Tay-
Tor s real wife, invoked the aid of the local
police several weeks ago. asking that Tay-
Tor be Swallowed with reference TO his rela-
tons with other women, and document
found In TaylorS room by inference &C
knowledges this wife and his responsibility
for their sons support.
That the fatal shot was fired by some
one who entered the store after it had been
closed for the night, and was there when
Taylor returned for his overcoat, is con-
coded. but whether this person was a bur-
glar or a woman of jealous mind the au-
thoritieS disagree.
Taylor had conducted a prosperous tail
oring business here for the past eighteen
months. widowed mother and a brother
reside In Cleveland, and another brother In
Pittsburg. Miss Battorf is prominently
connected in Ashtabula and Canal Do

$1,000 SAVED BY
A CHARCOAL BURNER
He Could Not Break Off the Habit
of Work and Saved All His
Earnings.

DERBY, Conn, May 22.-Eccentric and
hard working. but leaving no suspicion In
the minds of his acquaintance that he had
emassed fortune. Carter Finley who died
recently in Manchester. left nearly $780, 900
deposited in savings banks, besides deeds to
1000 acres Of land. What will now become
of his fortune is the subject of much discus
sion.
Finley spent his whole life laboring as a
charcoal burner. and IT appears he made
begrimed hands he appeared at a bank win
dow TO deposit his savinks and was some
times asked by the bankers why he did
not stop work and enjoy his fortune, he
invariably replied:
IT can't seem to break of the habit of
work.
His bankers were the only ones who knew
Finley's circumstances until the facts were
made known to-day. No others who saw
his blackened face. hands and clothing had
the least suspicion that he was anything
but poor laborer.
For forty years or more however. he had
made regular monthly deposits. sometimes
amounting to several hundred dollars
Finley lived alone in little cabin in the
outskirts OF Manchester. surrounded by his
charcoal piles, doing his cooking and
housekeeping. His death was caused by
pneumonia.
AS he left family and * not known 10

to say as yet who will finally enjoy the
fruits of Finleys labor.
