MANY BEGGARs IN LONDON.
London Society Is Daily Adding More
to the [ lists

to the Lists.
At a meeting this week of the Lon
don Mendicity association, an organ
ization formed for the purpose of
counteracting the efforts of the pro-
fessional beggar, many interesting rev.
elations as to the methods employed
by the begging fraternity were made.
During the last year the society eX-
tended its lists of street beggars to
10000. and in order to keep this eX-
traordinary record completely UP to
date the chief commissioner of police
has directed that full particulars of
every street begging case that comes
before the London police courts will
be sent to Sir Eric Buchanan, the So
ciety's secretary.
The society's experts investigated
1869 begging letters last year They
have now collection of 233 900 such
appeals in their possession. Three
trained investigators were employed
to ascertain whether the writer's of
begging letters deserved help. Analy-
sis showed that out of every 100 %
were sent by absolute impostors, so
were not deserving of help, and of
the remainder from five 10 seven were
very deserving. The society's secre
is given in haphazard aims annually.

Twin Falls, Idaho, May 2.-Dan
Kingsley, the ferryman at Shoshone
Falls, went over the falls Sunday
night. The oars and pieces of the skiff
in which he started across the river
were found below the falls, but no
trace of the man.
Kingsley was seen alive the last time
by NJ. Sullivan, who has been stopping
at the Falls hotel. Sullivan tells con-
fiicting stories about the trip over the
falls. One of these tales is that when
the boat had gone 80 or 40 yards from
the shore he (Sullivan) jumped out.
Kingsley came here from Spokane two
weeks ago.

CAPTAIN RAIBOURN
SHOOTS LIEUTENANT POINT And
THEN COMMITS SUICIDE.
Both Were Officers of Twenty-ninth
Infantry, Stationed Fort Douglas
Raibourn Had Been Drinking Heav-
lily and Was Arrested-Point Was
Shot Twice in the Legs.

Salt Lake. May Captain w. A.
Raibourn, Twenty ninth infantry, U. s
A, committed suicide at Fort Douglas
early Sunday after making a murder
Gus assault on Lieutenant William H.
Point, also of the Twenty-ninth infan-
try. Point was shot twice by his SUI
perlor officer, one bullet penetrating
his left thigh and another intlicting a
deep flesh wound in his right leg, After
Lieutenant Point had fallen, Captain
Raibourn turned his revolver upon
himself, sending a bullet into his head
about three inches behind his right
ear. He died almost instantly
Captain Raibourn had been drinking
heavily and the tragedy was an out
growth of his arrest on Tuesday last
on a charge of drunkenness.
On Tuesday of last week Captain
Raibourn was appointed officer of the
day at Fort Douglas, but failed to re-
port for duty and was absent in the
city for "a hours without leave. He
was arrested the following day, but
under orders not 10 leave the grounds.
On Saturday evening Captain Raibourn
broke the parole and came to the city.
Lieutenant Point who was sent after
him with an ambulance, found him in
a Main street saloon and he was re-
turned to Fort Douglas under arrest.
He was ordered to remain in his quar-
ters.
Lieutenant Points quarters are but
two doors from those which Captain
Raibourn occupied. The lieutenant had
just stepped out of doors early Sunday,
when Captain Raibourn appeared, car
rying heavy 80 caliber revolver. His
manner was threatening and Point
said, Now, captain, don't do anything
foolish" Raibourn made no reply, but
Immediately began shooting.
When other officers and soldiers ran
out, after hearing the shots, Captain
Raibourn lay dead and Lieutenant
Point lay in front of his quarters. Lieu
tenant Point was taken to his quar-
ters. He is said to be resting well.
Raibourn's body was embalmed and
will be shipped to Oakland City, Ind,
where his mother and two sisters re-
side. He has a brother in Chicago.
Captain kaibourn had sought to
avoid a courtmartial and had forward
ed to Washington his resignation from
the army. 1t had not been accepted
and it was supposed that trial by court
martial awaited him. Worry over the
probability of a dishonorable discharge
from the army ana dissipation are be-
lieved to have unbalanced his mind.
Captain Raibourn, who was 35 years
of age, and unmarried. enlisted in the
army in 1891, as a private, and had
worked his way up from the ranks.
Captain Raibourn and Lieutenant
Point had served together in the
Philippines and were firm friends.
Lieutenant Point entered the army
as captain of the Fifty-frst Iowa vol
unteers, and later was appointed to
the regular service He has passed
the examination ana qualified for pro-
motion to a captaincy.
Captain Raibourn formerly was re-
garded as an efficient officer. but re-
Gently he had been drinking hard and
could not be relied on for duty.

The snake has one great protection
against assailants. He appears to be

is explained by the fact that the eyes

This paper has all along believed
that the farmer whose land crossed
any running stream owned the land
upon which the water flowed, as he
had not only paid for it when he pur-
chased it from the government, but
paid an annual tax upon 1T, and that
he had right to say whether one
should trespass upon it. A great
many contended otherwise and the
result has been that at Gunnison much
hard feeling has been engendered by
certain ranchmen refusing the privi.
lege of fishermen to fish on their

landowner has the absolute right to

preston prevalent In some military
circles that the Japanese, having re-
moved the possibility Of the main army
In Manchurla assuming the initiative,
will. now turn their attention to the
next objective OF the war, Vladlvos-
tok, is strengthened by the Associa-
ted press dispatch from Cunshu pass
announcing the withdrawal OF the jap
anese from the immediate front OF the
Russian army for distance OF 30 miles
south. Il Is realized, Of course. that
this may be merely q blind TO cover
thanking operations, but 1t is not i'm
probable that the Japanese. having
cleared southern Manchuria OF Russian
troops and secured position from
whence expulsion would be a long and
difficult process, may be satisfied to
hold the Tie pass line without further
extension of communication.
While the voice Of the emperor's ad-
visers is for peace If honorable terms
are obtainable, the government as Is
the part of wisdom, is going forward
with all provisions for the continuance
of the war. Preparations are reported
TO be making for the mobilization or
five corps. II has been understood
that the guards would be retained at
st. Petersburg, but some of the officers
of this crack organization believe their
services have been requisitioned and
are making preparations to that end.
There has been a recrudescence or
reports Of change in the head OF
the war Office. It was stated last night
in O usually well-informed source
that Lieut.. Gen. Sakharoff will leave
very shortly and be succeeded by Gen.
Ridicer, now chief Of the chancellery
of the war office. II is also reported
that Gen. Polivanoff will be appointed
chief of the general staff. Both Poll
vanoff and Ridiger are Of the young
school of generals but have high re-
pute as theoreticians and administra-
tors. Gen. Ridiger is the author Ut
a number of text books on tactics.
The government is advised that Chin
csc bandits are appearing in great
numbers along the Siberian railroad
and causing interference with the train
service.
