CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Sensat ional
charges by young boys that they had
not only been taught to steal, but to
use cocaine and morphine, resulted In
the arrest of DR.. Adolph Brencke, a

The boys confessed that for months
they have been stealing lead pipe, cop
per and brass, their operations being
directed by Mastandrea.
For two years, they said, they had
been continually taking drugs urged on
by the alleged Fagin.

habit" said Buckley, and we have all
been dope victims. He must have want

N otorious Criminal at Saltwater Wi

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4-"Kid'
Goucher, one of the gang of thugs who
murdered Policeman Eugene c. Rob-
inson, has been located.
Under the name of Roy Williams this
desperate criminal is serving time in
the Minnesota state penitentiary at
Saltwater.
Since he will not finish serving his
time until March 10, 1905, the police
will have plenty of time to prepare to
meet Goucher at the prison door and
escort him back to the scene Of his
crime. There is no doubt in the mind
Of Chief Whitman but that Williams
and Goucher are one, and his belief is
shared by Henry Wolfer, the warden of
the Minnesota penitentiary.
Chief Whitman today received let

pers ready and an officer at the door to

Strained Relations Between United
States and Turkey Be Brought
to Acute Stage.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The
strained relations between Turkey and
the United States will be brought to an
acute stage in a short time if Turkey
follows up the spirit SHOWN by the
porte when it protested against DR..
Norton, consul at Ezhoum, proceeding
vestigating complaints of missionaries
at those points. This government told
Turkey that for the purpose of this in
vestigation DR.. Norton was to proceed
as the agent of the United States and
that he was not to be bound by the linn
it's Of his consular district. To that
proposition Turkey has made no an
swer.
Consul Norton has not waited for the
slow processes Of diplomacy. He has
disappeared from his consulate at Ez-
roum. The assumption at the state de-
partment is that he has started for the
scene of the disturbances in which
there have been some bloody encount-
ers between the Turkish troops and the
disconnected natives, who look to the
missionary elemtn for support.
One of the objections Turkey raises
to the missionary element is that it en-
courages subjects of the Ottoman en-
pire in their opposition to the govern
ment
If Turkey acts with respect to the
Journey of Dr. Norton in the spirit
shown in the protest, it is expected he
will be arrested and sent back to his
consular seat.

master of this city, was fatally burned
Wednesday afternoon. She had prep
pentine on the kitchen stove heating it
to use on the floor, and had taken out
caught fire. and while she was putting
out the fire which caught from the
blazing preparation, the rest of it on
the stove blazed up. She fastened to
take the vessel containing the burning
wax from the stove intending to throw
it outdoors. AS she reached the door
and exposed the preparation to the
air, it exploded, throwing the flames all
over her, and in an instant her clothes
were all on fire. She threw the con-
tents of the kettle out in the yard and
threw herself face down In the grass,
and called to her mother to take rug
and smother the fire out. Her mother
did so, but before flames were out she
had been fearfully burned, nothing Of
her clothing being left except shreds.
When the neighbors first heard the
calls of herself and mother they

an information for murder has peen
filed against the woman, not ordinarily
bailable offense.
Where the proof is evident or the
presumption great" that the de1enoant
is guilty of the capital offense, bail
must be refused But it is in the dis
erection of the judge to pass upon the
weight of the evidence and the
strength of the presumption. and II he
decides that they are not great ne can
allow bail. If convicted Of murder IN
the first degree with the penalty set by
law, Mrs. Robb would be hanged, but
there is an unwritten law that will UNI
doubtedly on trial exonerate her for the
killing. Because Of her possible ac-
ouittal one of the superior court judges
will be asked to allow her her freedom.
The only case in King county IN
which a person accused of murder was
allowed bail happened when Judge
George allowed John and Tom Cons1-
dine liberty under $4,000 bonds. after
they had shot and killed Chief OF Po-
lice Meredith in Guys drug store. 1t
is extremely doubtful if any court will
allow Mrs. Robb bail, lawyers say.
Prosecuting Attorney Scott Will not
contest the matter. and it would prob
ably arouse public opinion to have him
try to keep this woman in Jail after ne
had ordered the freedom of Rouse, the
bartender, who killed James McCor-
mick a logger, because he did not nave
10 cents to pay for his beer.

The dentist who gave the negro his

A silver plate was first fixed under the
negro's scalp and the horns were then
screwed into the plate. They could be
put on and taken off at will, and it is
said that many physicians could not
tell how the horns We're kept in place.
The teeth We're over an inch long,
and were formerly taken from an ali

Louis is the second one fitted out by
this dentist, the first one having been
