REQUEST Denied.

An informal request was lately made
through the State Department TO the
French government to prevent the dis
grace by Imprisonment of Elliott Fitch
Shepherd, of New York, who was re-
Gently sentenced to three months inn
prisonment and to pay a fine of 800
francs for running down and killing a
young girl with his automobile last Au-
gust. The French authorities replied
that they could not with any sense Of
respect interfere with the ruling of the
courts law, that the imprisonment was
the minimum term provided, and public
opinion was greatly excited over the
case. 1t is understood, however, that
full time will be given to Mr.. Shepherd
in which to present himself for punish
ment. This probably meaOs that he
will be allowed six months before com.
ing up to serve his sentence. II is hint
ed that if the excitement in the mean
time subsidies an arrangement may be
made by which Dir. Shepherd will avoid
imprisonment in consideration of his
paying an increased compensation to the
family OF the victim. The court, in adj
dition to sentencing Mr.. Shepherd to
fine and imprisonment, ordered that he
pay 20, 900 francs damages 20 the family
OF the deceased.

Mysterious Death.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 10.--The body
of Joseph Deligo lies in the county
morgue and several people from the Ho-
tel Roma, No. lll3 Pennsylvania avenue,
are locked up in the police station,
suspected of knowledge Of his murder.
Deligo went to the hotel at midnight and
was assigned room on the third floor.
Within very few moments crash was
heard and Deligo's body was found on
the paving stones at Slocum alley,on the
side of the building. Deligo registered
from MonoDgahela City. Two other
strangers entered the hotel Immediately
after Deligo. They were assigned a room
on the second floor, Immediately under
that occupied by Deligo, and, it is said,
were angered when Deligo refused to oc-
cupy room with them. The lower sash
of the window 10 DeligO's room was shat
tered, and there are other evidences OF
violence. The upper sash of the room
occupied by the two men was mysteriously
broken and they we're greatly excited
when an investigation was made.

Alfonso Hunting Bears.

Berlin, Nov. l0.-Early this morning
Kaiser Wilhelm and his guest, King AL
ionso, of Spain, left Hanover in a motor
car, and proceeded to the forest OF
Springs, some twenty miles away, where
they spent the day hunting for wild
bears, which abound in those regions.
This sport, in which both the the Kaiser
and Alfonso delight to participate, is an
extremely dangerous pastime. A wild
boar when closely pursued frequently
will tnrn on his pu-suer and charge him
at full speed. Unless the buuter can
check the Infatuated animal with well
aimed shot, he will probably be gored to
death before his companions can come
to his assistance. 1t is precisely this
danger which makes the sport exciting,
however. In view Of the responsibility
resting upon those in charge of the hunt
to protect the valuable life of the young
Spanish king, special precautions were
taken to minimize the danger of the
hunt today, and to save Alfonso from
all possible injury. The Kaiser and Al
fonso will return to Berlin tonight.

ONE OF THE reasons urged by MT
Summers upon Secretary Shaw and the
administration for the removal of the L.
: Internal Revenue Office from this city
to Abingdon was that Washington
county might be retained in the rePub-
licau column and help make Col. SlemP's
district more solidly republican. In
Tuesdays election the two democratic
candidates for the House of Delegates
from Washington defeated their repub
lican opponents, Mr. Shaw, Col. SlemT
and Mr. Summers to the contrary, not
withstanding.

New York stock Market

New York, Nov. 10.-The money situation
continues to he the dominating faeloF IN the
stock market. The prevailing rates for call
money have induced fair amount Ofliquida-
ton, which has been accompanied by con-
siderable selling for short account, the bears
taking the position that either the money
rate or stock prices will have to go down.
Interests committed TO the bull side make
the point that today's loans carry over until
Monday, ard that with the money rate out of
the way tomorrow the volume of liquidation
will decrease materially. A large part of the
buying during the first hour was the cover
ing of shorts but there was stubborn support
in number of closely held specialties Lon
don bought between 10000 and $4,000 shares
and helped TO cause a general improvement
in prices.
