W. RICHARD RISEN
 DEAD BY PISTOL
Body is Found in His Fathers
 Bank
KILLING WAS ACCIDENTAL
Leaves ScrawIed Note Saying He Had Tried to Call Doctor By Tele- phone, But Had
 Failed.

Huntsville, September 21.-(Special.)- Richard Rison, only son of Archie L. Rison, president of the w. R. Rison Banking company was found dead to- night in the rear office of the bank with a bullet through his heart. A note writ ten in a scrawling hand stated that he shot himself while cleaning his pistol and had vainly tried to telephone doc tor.
 He was stretched out on his oa K with his feet under the telephone and a small calibre pistol was lying close by. A half smoked cigarette was on the floor.
 The suicide theory is not believed by relatives, as the young man had no req son for self-destruction and the nature of the wound would have allowed him a few minutes of life. Rison was 21 years old and was exceedingly popular. He was clerk in his fathers bank.
 Coroner Stewart was summoned, but no inquest was considered necessary.

ABSOLUTELY FALSE
 SAYS MIR. SHERRICK
Ex-AUDIToR OF INDIANA SAYS THAT IN DUE TIME HE WILL PREPARE FULL STATEMENT OF HIS CASE.

Indianapolis, September 21.-David E.. Sherrick, deposed auditor of state, late tonight gave out the first public state ment he has made since Governor Han ley forced him to resign his office. This statement, Mir Sherrick explained, was only preparatory to a more detailed one that he will give out later. Until his complete explanation is made, Mir. Sher- rick In his statement asks the people of the state to withhold judgment in the matter of his expose. The statement fol- lows:
 Governor Hanley in a speech at Ham ilton Tuesday and Fort Wayne Tuesday has thought 1t proper in Justification of his course toward myself, wh;e claim ing to be my friend to attack not only my official but private character in a manner that seems to me most vicious. l have so far refrained from making ~ reply through advice of my counsel. Feel ing so keenly the injustice done me in those speeches, I cannot longer remain silent.
 His statement that I gambled away at French Lick $10000; that I was unable to attend to my official duties on the tax board on account of carousals, drinking and gambling at night, are absolutely false. His statement that l did not loan him $750 for purposes that l will prove beyond question, Is likewise false. In due time I shall prepare and publish z. full statement concerning the charges made by the governor, which l am SuN will convince the public that each Of his statements Is absolutely false."

DIES RATHER THAN
 GO INTO COURTS
Younu Woman in Minneapolis Accused of Stealing Drowns Herself
 In River.

Minneapolis, Minn., September A.-Pe- destrians crossing Central avenue bridge today were astonished to see young woman walk from the east side bank into the Mississippi river and wade into the water until 1t was about up to her chin, then lean forward and disappear. Although efforts were made to preven- her from drowning, the current washed her body away. The girl was Miss Ella Kent.
 She had been arrested on a charge of stealing from a department store, and though the evidence against her was mea- ger, the disgrace attached to an appear ance in police court was more than sne could stand. The case had been contin- ued until today. Instead of going to court she committed suicide. She had always borne a good reputation.

President Delighted to Yield.

The visit of Ambassador Rosen was made with a view not only to presenting to the President formally the desire of Emperor Nicholas, but also with a view to ascertaining whether President Roose- velt would be quite willing to waive any claim he might have on the calling of the conference because of the steps he took last year, so that Emperor Nicholas him self might issue the call. The President expressed himself as delighted to yield to the wish of the Russian Emperor and Ambassador Rosen already has informed the Emperor informally of the Presidents s acauiescence formal reply to the Elm peror will be sent to him by the Pres ident by Secretary Root. That reply was discussed last night but 1t has not been forwarded soon after Secretary Root reaches Washington, about the first of October Some other questions pertaining to the relations between this country and Venezuela and the financial condition of San Domingo also were discussed. No report has yet been received from Judge Calhoun. the special commissioner of the President to Venezuela. but one Is expect cd in a few weeks.
 Prof Jacob II. Hollander who has been conducting an inquiry Into the fiscal af- fairs of San Domingo government, now is engaged in the preparation of his report.

MORE FREEDOM FOR
 RUSSIAN SUBJECTS
Right of Assembly Will be
 Granted Soon
IS LONG STEP FORWARD
1t Is Even Thought That Greater Free. dom Will Be Allowed the Press In Discussion of Political
 Matters.

St. Petersburg, September 22, 3:2O a. m.- A project for granting the Russian people under certain limitations the right of as- sembly for the discussion of political and economic questlons--a reform in impor- tanee only to, the convocation of their rep resentative assembly. and which was elaborated by a commission under the presidency of Count Ignatieff. Is now prac- tieally completed, and after final review by the Solsky commission on Saturday will be immediately laid before Emperor Nicholas. Its promulgation is confidently expected early next week.
 Though coupled with a number of re- strictions designed to give the authori- ties oversight of proceedings in order to prevent the discussion of reasonable or seditious subjects, this reform will mark great constitutional advance. the peo- pie hitherto having no general right of assembly, except at meetings of author ized societies. The privilege granted by the Emperor's rescript of March 8 per hitting meetings for discussion of popu- lar representation, was temporary measure, and was withdrawn when the national assembly rescript was issued.
 Must Give Thee Days Notice.
 Under the proposed regulations organ izers are required to give three days notice of a meeting and it's purposes. Special sanction for a meeting is not re- quired, and the possibility of bureaucratic delays Is thereby obviated: but the gov ernment reserves the right to prohibit objectionable meetings. and also the right to have a representative present to see that the discussions do not overstep the limits allowed. This representative may demand the names and addresses of all the speakers and the assembly maa lie closed If the speakers deviate from the announced programme, or by increase of disorders

May Have Freedom of Press.

The second leading article of the bill of rights demanded by the reformers will make popular representation truly sue cessful. This relates to the freedom of the press and will probably not take the form of law at this juncture, as the gov ernment wishes to submit the matter to the national assembly for considera- tion It is understood, however, that an informal announcement will soon be made to the effect that the enforcement of the press laws will be relaxed during tll cam paign, so as to permit of ample dis cussion of measures and candidates. It Is also understood that after January 1 next representatives of the press will be admitted to the sessions of the council of the empire, that publicity may be given to the proceedings of the upper house of the assembly.

Prepare to Receive President.

Washington, September 21.-fSpecial.)- In several of the southern states arrange ments are already being made for the re- ception of President Roosevelt, upon the occasion of his coming tour through these southern states he has not visited since he became President
 The presidential special will leave Wash ington on October IS, according to the plans as they stand today. The President will be gone from Washington about ten days or two weeks.

 Never Any Panic Over Fever.
 ''There has never been panic over the yellow fever in New Orleans, or any other part of Louisiana" said Represent ative Davey of Louisiana. today. The people have from the beginning kept cool and to this no doubt Is due the good prog ress which has been made in fighting the disease"
 ''The other night we opened couple of theatres and q big attendance was noted The senseless. half-civilized quar- antines which have been inaugnrated in certain places has been the worst feature of the whole yellow fever tro,;bie."
 Mir Davey will advocate at the com ing session of Congress a national quar- antine law. which from present indica- tons will go through the House and Senate in short order.
 The Louisiana member does not believe the President runs any risk from yell low fever on his southern trip.

Roosevelt Also Discusses With Root, Lodge and Choate the Plans for International Peace Confer
 ence at The Hague.

Oyster Bay. L. L. September a-Sec- retary of State Elihu Root Senator Hen- " Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts and Joseph II. Choate. former ambassador to Great Britain. who spent last night at sagamore Hill as guests of President Roosevelt, left for New York today.
 The conference between the President and his visitors was admittedly impor- tant. As indicated in these dispatches last night. the principal topic of discus sion was the recent disclosures in the investigation of the conduct of the life insurance companies of New York being made by committee of the New York legislature The President has in course of preparation his annual message to the Congress, and as he proposes to discuss the insurance question in that with spe- cal reference to federal legislation for the regulation of insurance he naturally desired to confer with his close friends as to the manner in which he should treat the subject.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-09-22
Has Shown Deep Interest.

It is known that the conference last night continued until late hour. No details of 1t are obtainable. 1t Is known, however, that the President has mani fested for months a deep interest in the developments regarding the conduct of life insurance companies in New York and has had in mind the deslrability Of federal regulation of such corporations. Under the law as it now stands the bu- reau of corporations of the department of commerce and labor has no control over life insurance interpretations. 1t practically can only make Inquiry into their business for the purpose of gaining information, but it cannot supervise them In any way. The President has been urged strongly to recommend to the Con gress the enactment of such Legislation us will give the federal government su- pervisory control of insurance compa- nies.
 Whether the disclosures regarding the payment by certain corporations of cam paign contributions has anything to do with the present inquiry by the Presi- dent or whether that subject was con sidered even at last nights conference cannot be told.

Discusses Peace Conference.

It Is learned that the most important international question considered at the conference was that relating to the sec- ond peace conference debate held at The Hague The President explained to his visitors that on September 13. Ambassa- dor Rosen had visited him at Sagamore Hill to inform him of the desire of Elm peror Nicholas of Russia, to call a peace conference at The Hague, which should be supplemental in it's work to that held at The Hague three years ago on the Emperor's initiative. The President last autumn took the initial step toward the calling of the second conference, ad- dressing through Secretary of State Hay, a note to the powers. The powers, includ- ing Japan, acquesced to the proposition of the President, but Russia, while ac- cepting it in principle. objected to holding the conference while she was wagng the war with one of the signatory powers.
 She indicated that at later time, on the conclusion of peace between herself and Japan, the holding of second con- ference at The Hague would be agree able to her.
