MURDERED HIS FRIEND
FOR A HOARD OF GOLD
Dramatic Story of Hidden Treas
ure and Death in South
Africa.

JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 6.-The trial OF
Philippus Swartz, the Boer charged with
the murder of another Boer named Ste
phanus Van Niekirk. in the northern Trans
vaal, while searching for a vast treasure of
diamonds and gold alleged to have been
buried during the war. ended with YER
dict of guilty. The prisoner was sentenced
to death.
Swartz was alleged TO have harbored re-
sentiment against Van Niekirk, who married
the formers sweetheart while Swartz was
prisoner of war in Ceylon.
The buried treasure is stated TO have been
discovered by Swartz and a man named
Pretorius lying beside the remains of a man
in the fever-strcken bushveld. During the
fighting Pretorius disappeared from his
commando, and Swartz was captured and
sent To Ceylon. He displayed no outward
resentment on finding, after his return 10
South Africa. that his betrothed was Mrs.
Van Niekirk. and in May, 1903. the two men,
accompanied by three others, went north
10 find the hoard of treasure.
The party camped on the Olifants river.
few miles from the place where the gold
and diamonds were said 10 be buried and
one day Swartz and Van Niekirk, both
armed with guns, went out TO get wood.
The latter was never seen again alive, and
shortly afterward Swartz disappeared.
Eventually the body OF Van Niekirk was
found with two bullet wounds.

Mr., CONR|ED WINS HIS
LAWSUIT IN GERMANY
American Victorious Over Munich
Writer Who Attacked Him on
Account of "Parsifal."
ROBBERY OF THE GRAIL"

MUNICH, Feb. 6.-The suit of Director
Heinrich Conried of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, New York, against Herr
Conrad. a Munich writer. for an attack
on the director a result of his produc-
tion OF "Parsfal" was heard this week
and it resulted in a victory for Mr.. Conried.
Herr Conrad's article was entitled 1.-THE
Robbery of the Grail"
Herr Conrad, in the course of his exam
nation before the court. justified his vio-
lent language as being the result of the
moral indignation" which seized him, as
German and as a Wagnerian, when he
heard of the New York production.
Herr Won Possart, general manager of the
Royal TheaterS at Munich, testified that
Herr Conried said last summer that if only
five German managers could be found who
would declare they would not produce
"Parsifal" until after 1918. when the copy
right in Germany expired, he would aban-
don his plan of giving it in New York.
Herr Won Possart defended Herr Conried
who, he said, had acted within the Amer
lean laws, and had only offended the senti-
ment OF reverence toward Wagner. He also
defended the German singers who took part
in the New York production, except those
owing special obligations to Baireuth. Herr
Won Possart further declared that he meant
to produce ''Parsifar' after the expira-
ton of the copyright
Professor Krause attacked Herr Conried
as being "a smart business man, whose de-
votion to German art is mere self-adver-
Using"
Herr Oppenheim, a writer, justified Herr
Conrad'S violent language, and said his
course was ideal and unselfish.
Herr Conried's lawyer, Judicial Council
or Heibling, asked the court to impose
severe punishment for such grave insult.
The judgment of the court was against
the defendant Herr Conrad, who must pay
a $40 fine or spend twenty days in Jail. He
is to pay all court costs and lawyers fees.

the courts finding for period of twenty

IRELAND AND HURT ARE
EXPELLED FROM FRANCE
Former Is a Detective Who Was
with Mckinley When He
Was Shot.

NICE, Feb. 6.-The authorities to-day or
dered the expulsion from France of Messrs
Hurt and Ireland, Americans, who were
arrested several days ago on suspicion of
being international swindlers. This action
was taken at the request of the wives of
the prisoners preferred through United
States Consul Van Buren,. The Prefectoral
investigation required by law in all cases
where foreigners are concerned to de-
termine whether the persons in custody
shall or shall not be expelled takes much
time, often weeks. Both Messrs. Hurt and
Ireland are sick and it was thought ex-
pedient to ask for their expulsion at once
rather than that they should be compelled
to remain in prison during an investigation.
The men will start for Italy tomorrow.
Ireland is said TO have been with President
Mckinley when the latter was shot at
Buffalo.

FRANCE SLOW IN GIVING
AN ANSWER TO AMERICA
United States Embassy Urges
Prompt Action in Regard to
Reciprocity Treaty.

PARIS, Feb 6.-An official of the United
States embassy called at the Foreign Office
to-day to urge an early reply TO the last
American note concerning the revision of
the Franco-American reciprocity arrange
ment. The negotiations have now assumed
the following exact form: France express
es her willingness to restore the minimum
tariff on American meat and also to grant
the minimum tariff on Porto Rico coffee IL
the United States will give 20 per cent. re-
duction in the rate on champagne under the
reciprocity clause of the Dingley act. The
American answer. given six weeks ago. ex-
presses willingness to take up the fore
going III besides the reduction on meat
and coffee. France Will reduce the duties
on other articles sufficiently TO counterbal-
ance the concession on champagne. The
answer 10 this note is now awaited the
Foreign Office saying that the minister of
commerce has not yet reached decision.

FRENCH CLAIM AGAINST
GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT
Demands Big Indemnity for Al
legged Stealing of Assuan
Reservoir Plans.

CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 6.-An extraordinary
action has been brought by a French COM
pany known as the "Societe des Eutdes du
NIL against the Egyptian government.
The company was formed to cooperate with
the late distinguished French engineer. NJ.
De la Motto, in the researches he had been
carrying on concerning the Nile and the
means of utilizing. to a greater extent. its
waters for irrigation. NJ. De la Motto sug-
gested the creation of a reservoir i'm the
plain of Koum Ombos by means of a bar
rage constructed at Djebel-Selcelet, which
is about forty-six miles from the first cata-
ract. In 1883 the project was submitted to
the Egyptian government.
The company now contend that the Egvp-
tan government undertook to recompense
its efforts, and claims that the project of
the acutal AssGan reservoir was based on
M De la Notes scheme. An indemnity of
$1,000 feddans' of irrigated land and the
payment during fifteen years of per cent.
Of the additional taxes imposed after the
construction of the present reservoir are
demanded

Commons, said he wanted to see a univer-

Irish people. Instead of the views held in

not mean Rome rule. 1t would remove the
differences of religious beliefs, make Ire

Magician kellar Mystifies Entire
Audience at the Opera House.

Magician KelIar's exhibition al the
Traders grand opera house Wednesday
evening was witnessed by large and
curious audience. The entertainment
was indeed highly pleasing. His wonder
ful sleight-of-hand tricks. legerdemain,
and occultism caused calculations of
amnzement and bewilderment through
ont the audience The magician would
perform a trick so gracefully, quickly
and in a seeming very simple manner
that the audience gasped in astonish-
ment and wondered how he did do 1t.
Some who could not see or think Of any
tangible solution to the tricks of magic
began to believe that Kellar was in
in league with half dozen little de-
wills from the internal regions. Kellars
methods are his own, and disdaining all
the fragrant and apparent subterfuges
usually resorted to by unskilled per-
formers. he apparently has but to com
mand the most unheard of things to
happen and his word is obeyed.
The levitation of Princess Karnac is
indeed bewildering illusion and in
it the necromancer seems to have abso-
lutely suspended the law of gravitation.
One of the most pleasing of his tricks
is the growing of the rose bush from a

seed. Everyone who has attended
sleignt-of-hand performances have seen
magieians produce flowers. They are
usually paper flowers. Kellar produces
paper flowers, too, from a card board
cone, but his trick OF producing real
roses from bush grown from the seed
on the stage in the course of few
minutes, is a trick that delights the
audience as much as it mystiies them,
for after Kellar has grown the rose bush
es he cuts off the blooming flowers and
DISTRIBUTES them among the audience.
Kellar kept the audience last night in
state OF continual perplexity and as.
constituent. They rendered min ap-
plause almost Involuntary when he fin.
ished trick or illusion. Throughout
the whole performance he kept talking
to his auditors in his usual happy and
iocular manner and when the spectator
was nor gasping in wonder at the trick
performed on the stage he was laughing
at some witicism of the magician.
The fly-to cabinet trick is still as
much of mystery now as it was
year and a half ago when Kellar gave
an entertainment here. No one here.

possible solution of the trick.
