NOT MUCH OF A SUCCESS
One of the Steamship Lines Pur-
chased by PierpOnt Morgan
Makes First Report.

Liverpool, April 23.-Frederick Ley
land G Co., Qtd), the first British
line purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan
when forming the shipping combine,
have issued a report for the 19 months
ending with December. The directors
say that even after drawing $1,347 500
from the reserve, it is only possible to
pay the preferred dividend for six
months. This withdrawal reduces
the reserve to $325,000
The directors attribute this result
to the epidemic of foot and mouth dis
ease in New England last year, stop
ping shipments of livestock therefrom,
and to the inadequacy of Atlantic
freightS.

RANK ROSE SHOT TO DEATH
Brutally Murdered His Wife on
Last Christmas Day.
Confesses to Having Followed .
Career of Crime During the
Past Fourteen Years.

Salt Lake City, Utah, April 23.-
Frank Rose, the wife murderer, was
shot to death in the yard of the state
penitentiary here at 1000 a. m. Death
was instantaneous, four bullets lodging
in or very close to his heart.
Rose was strapped to the same lit
tie wooden chair in which Peter Nor
tensen met his fate a few months ago.
Five prison guards, concealed behind q
heavy blue curtain in the doorway of
the blacksmith shop, across the area.
formed the executing squad. One of
the rfrfes held blank cartridge.
Rose went to his death chair with
the same coolnness that had marked
his conduct since he surrendered to
the police.
A Peculiarly AtrOciOus Crime.
Roses crime was peculiarly atrocious
and cold-blooded, in that it almost re-
suited in the death of his two-year-old
son from starvation and cold. Rose,
who claimed that his wife was inti-
mate with other men, shot her on
Christmas day while she was lying in
bed He sat and talked with her until
she died of the wound, and then went
away, leaving the boy in bed with his
dead mother and soaked in her blood.
Rose says he returned four times
within the next few days to feed the
child, climbing through window and
- Ii fo f,,r
to get into the house. At the end OF
that time he went to police headquar-
ters and gave himself up, stating that
he had shot his wife.
Rose never expressed any sorrow for
his deed, and asserted firm belief that
it all was predestined.
Confessed to a Career Of Crime.
Rose confessed to other murders,
said to number no less than ten. He
declared he had spent the last IA years
in committing successive crimes, vary
ing from robbery to murder. Robbery
was his first crime, according to his
story. From that he launched into
murders of every description, and re-
lated instances where he had killed
men for little money. Rose declared
he had committed a murder in San
Francisco, where he quarreled with a
companion who was working with him
on the Santa Fe terminals, across the
bay from the city. The mans body
was found in the bay, and Rose sayg
he murdered him.
One Murder in st. Louis.
In st. Louis, according to Roses con-
fession, he was guilty of number of
crimes, including murder. There is
some doubt at the penitentiary about
the truth of Roses confession. but he
has furnished names and dates and
other details to such degree that his
story has gained general credence with
the prison officials.
Rose said that in 1892 he was 8
member of the Dalton gang in Okla
homa for a time, and took part in the
robbery and murder of a number OF
boomers" After leaving the Daltons
he continued his operations as mem
ber of the Starr gang. Rose said he
served two years in the state prison
at Jefferson City, Mo-, for larceny and
embezzlement.

BRYAN AND
HEARST
TELL HOW AND WHY IT HAP
PENED THIS WAY.
They State Opinions on the Election
and Inspire the Democrats
Of the Country

Here is the gist of what Mr.. Bry-
an has to say:
1t is unqucstionable also that Judge
Parkef's defeat was not local, but
general, the returns from the Western
states being as disappointing as the
returns from the East. The reorgan-
izers are in complete control Of the
party and carried it on according to
against their plans is unanimous
one. Surely silver cannot be blamed
for this defeat, for the campaign was
run on gold basis Neither can this
defeat be charged to emphatic con-
demnation of the trusts for the trusts
were not assailed as vigorously this
year as they were four years ago.
1t is evident that the campaign did
not turn upon the question Of imper-
ialism, and it is not fair to consider
the result as personal victory for
the president, although his adminis-
tration was the subject Of criticism.
The result was due to the fact that
the Democratic party attempted to
be conservative in the presence Of
conditions which demanded radical
remedies. 1t sounded partial re-
treat when it should have ordered a
charge along the line. In 1906 the
line was drawn for the first time dur
ing the present generation between
plutocracy and Democracy, and the
partys stand on the side of Democra-
cy alienated large number Of plu-
tocratic Democrats, who, in the ma
ture OF things cannot be expected 10
return, and it drew large number
OF earnest advocates of reform whose
attachment to these reforms Is much
stronger than attachment to any par
tys name.
certain It is that at least portion
ot the reasons he gives he is entitled
to much weight The campaign from
the beginning to the end was listless
and apathetic. ItAwas totally devoid
OF enthusiasm. Great issues were
treated in mincing, conservative
manner and without and Of the Slam
bang methods that characterized for

Wall street influence that proved so
disastrous in this campaign and I, as
a loyal Democrat, will be very happy
to see that done. am always ready

those of my papers to the Democracy
OF reorganization or any other pur-
pose if they shall be required.
Il shall be glad to work with all

leaders upon them"
