NOT A DELIBERATE INSULT.
Jap Attack on Americans Work O.
Crazy Mob.

Toxic, Sept. 13.-Some American
press comments attributing the burn
ing of churches as an insult to for
eigners and an outburst of anti-foreign
sentiment have been received here
with profound regret and surprise. An
Associated Press representative has
interviewed on this subject an old
diplomat and old statesman under the
old cabinet, whose name is withheld
by request. He said:
Japanese youths and the lower
classes are peculiarly excitable. No
case of rioting passes without collat-
eral issues which have no concern
whatever with the primary object of
the rising. The unfortunate occur
rences against the churches and
American visitors is one of many SIM
liar instances. In moment of excite
ment the rioters are apt blindly to
seek objects of mischief, not consider
ing whether their relation is tangent
with the first cause.
Rioters have no power of diserim-
nation between foreigners of various
nationalities. The unfortunate occur.
renee in regard to the American Wis
itors was not a deliberate insult to
them as citizens of the United States.
They simply were made a target by
an excited, crazy mob"

Entering Death Chamber.

Auburn, N. Y, Sept 13.-Record
breaking celebrity was the only unusual
feature of the electrocution of Henry
Manner in the death chamber of Au-
burn prison. The witnesses entered
the room at sos o'clock. Manner was
escorted to the chair one minute later
In another minute he had been pin
iOned ii the chair and the mask had
been drawn over his face. State Exc
cutIoner Davis Immediately made con-
nections with the fatal lever and / ,7SO
volts coUrsed through the victim for
thirty seconds. This was reduced
gradually and then the full strength
was again turned on. Manner was
dead in precisely three minutes after
walking to the chair. He had not emit
ted murmur nor shown any indica-
tion of fear.
The crime for which Manner for
feited his life was committed in the
little town of Serbia, six miles east of
Oswego, near the edge of a piece of
woods on Sunday, May 2S. He way
laid Cora Sweet, a child of twelve
years. BY some means he induced
the unsuspecting child to accompany
him into the woods, where, according

murdered her.

CHARGED WITH HOMICIDE,
Police Unable to Locate Motornnan Of
Wrecked Train.

Police Unable to Locate Motornnan OF
Wrecked Train.
New York, Sept. r3-Policemen
watched every ferry and railroad sta
tion in this city during the night try
ing to capture Paul Kelly, the fugitive
mOtOrman Of the wrecked elevated
railroad train in which twelve persons
were killed, but have not found him.
A general police alarm was sent out
calling for the arrest of Kelly on
charge of homicide. The fugitive was
a strike breaker who entered the COM
pany's employ six months ago while
a strike was in progress and his home
was formerly in st. Louis. The police
of St.Louis have been asked to watch
for him in the faint hope that he may
return to his former home It is ex-
pected that the missing man can
throw a great deal of light on the con-
dition of the tracks and signals at the
time OF the accident
Fourteen of the persons injured in
the wrecked train are still in the hos
pitfalls. Some had been removed to
their homes during the night, their
injuries proving to be not. serious. Of
those in the hospitals three were so
badly injured as to make their recov-
cry doubtful. Several others were
suffering from very serious injuries
and their condition might at any mo-
ment become critical.

.C0ssAckS FIRE INTO CROWD.
THIRTY PERSONS KILLED. AND
MANY WOUNDED IN CON-
FLicT AT TIFLls.

Tiflis, Caucasia, Sept. ia hun
dred Social Democrats were killed or
wounded during the day in conflict
with Cossacks at the town hall and
many were trampled to death in a
subsequent panic. Two thousand So
cial Democrats had forced an entrance
into the town hall, which was closed
owing to the celebration of religious
holiday, the beheading of John the
Baptist. Revolutionary speeches were
made and the chief of police ordered
the meeting to disperse. Part of those
present obeyed, but the remainder re-
fused and some revolvers were fired.
A large force Of Cossacks drawn up
outside the building then fired a vol
ley into the crowd time and time
again, killing thirty and wounding up
wards of seventy. In the ensuing
panic many persons fell and were
trampled to death by their comrades
and the pursuing Cossacks.

CONDITIONS FOR DISSOLUTION
OF UNION WITH NORWAY
UNALTERABLE.
BREACH IN NEGOTIATIONS PROBABLE
STOCKHOLM AUTHORITIES FULLY
PREPARED FOR. SUCH AN
EvENTUALlTY.

Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 13.-The
delegates of Norway and Sweden ap-
pointed to discuss the dissolution Of
the union of the two countries will re-
assemble at Karlstad, Sweden, during
the day and as it is declared here that
the Swedish conditions are unalterable
the outcome seems to depend on the
Norwegian acceptance of these condi.
tions. The tone adopted by the Nor
wegian newspapers is very threaten.
ing and is considered to be specially
significant coming after Mondays
meeting OF the Norwegian delegates.
It is recognized that a breach may
follow the reassembling of the dele
gates and the Swedish authorities are
preparing for such an eventuality.

UNDER SURGEONS KNIFE.

rious Operations.


rious Operations.
New York, Sept. 13-Richard Mans
feld, the actor, is just recovering from
the effects of two very delicate and
serious surgical operations, according
to an announcement made by the Her
aid. The first, which was performed
three weeks ago, failed to relieve Mr..
Mansfield and another was performed
last Wednesday, when the actor un-
derWent a trying ordeal at the hands
of the surgeons who were called to his
New London (Conn.) home.
For several years Mr.. Mansfield has
been a sufferer from nervousness
brought on by grave intestinal dis
order that steadily grew worse. Three
weeks ago his condition became so
serious that his New London physi-
clan decided on the necessity of an
operation. The second is said to have
been entirely successful and the actor
is now progressing rapidly toward re-
cOVery.

ployed by the life insurance company
at $500 a year. The trust company
was owned by officials of the insur-
ance company.

Northwestern preferred stock from
the life insurance company to the
trust company, which was also forced
by the Prussian government, was also

it went off your books so as to make
any profit you could?"

All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure.

 The Avon Comedy company played "His Last Legs" at the Mesa opera house Wednesday night. The attend ance was fairly good but not so good as the troupe deserved. But the night was not d propitious one following the commencement exercises and it looked a little like rain, and a good many did not Ventur out.
 The comedy was a very pretty little piece, and some parts of it exception ally rich in fun. The parts were all quite well rendered, but MT. Walsh, as the Irishman, Felix O'CallaGan, and Eir. Hayward as the old man was ex- ceptionalIy fine yet all of the members acquitted themselves with credit. The singing of Miss Neptune and Miss Averie brought forth an encore. At the close Of the performance the chairs were cleared and dancing was induls-
