NEGRO MURDERED.
Attendants on United States Cruise.
Boston Engage in Fatal Gun
Eioht.

Vallejo, Cal, March 21.-A murder
was committed on the United States
cruiser Boston today. and James Coop
er Is now in Jail here charged with
shooting A. Dorset to death. Both
were negro attendants. Before the men
arose Dorsett, it is said, began nagging
Cooper. who is a small man, and the
trouble was renewed when the men
went to the mess room to
breakfast. Lieutenant Miller, executive
officer Of the ship, hearing a disturb
ance, entered the room, where he saw
Cooper bending over Dorset, who was
lying on the 1oor. Lieutenant Miller
thought Cooper had a knife in one hand
and FASTENED to the pair. He was too
late, however, for Cooper quickly fired
three bullets into Dorsett. who died in
a few minutes. Cooper was placed in
irons and brought here, as the case is
a civil one. the Boston being at anchor.
Cooper says he acted in self defense,
as he thought Dorset was about to
attack him with a razor.

SMITH CHANGES MIND.
Head of the Mormon Church Says This
Time He Does Get
Revelations.

Salt Lake City. Utah. March. 20.
Joseph f. Smith, president Of the Nor
MOI church. Today in an address in the
tabernacle modified his statement in the
senate investigation at Washington to
the effect that he had received no revel-.
atoms from God. President Smith to-
day is quoted as saying:
In Washington | refused to say
what my inquisitors wanted me to say
in order to get me into a trap-that is.
ton on some new law or precept, which
was to be included and put into the
laws of the church. Did you ever hear
me deny that ] had been guided by
God? No, no man ever heard me say
this. When l was first baptized as
a child God revealed to me that Joseph
Smith was a prophet of God, raised
up by the power of the almighty. He
revealed to me in tern;s incontrcYertibla
that Brigham Young succeeded lawfully
to the presidency OF the church by the
will of the almighty; he revealed to
me that John TAYLOR was the divine
successor of Brigham Young; that Will
ford Woodruff was the divine successor
of john Taylor; that Lorenzo Snow
was the divine successor of MILFORD
Woodruff.
i leave it to you to say whether it is
right and lawful for me to be in this
position. | fervently believe that God
has made manifest to me many glorious
things, n much more wisdom than is
Inherent in myself, ard will continue to
do SO as long as l am ready to listen
when he speaks"

MAINE a DRY STATE.
New Law Results in All Liquor Being
Sent Out of the State to Avoid
Confiscation

Portland. Me. March 22.-The night
express train and the boat for Boston
tonight carried back $500, 900 worth of
liquor which the dealers in Maine
feared would be confiscated because
of the crusade that began this week.
Five car loads of liquor comprised the
consignment by railroad and fully as
much was sent by boat.
The legislature. which adjourned yes
terday, passed a bill known as the
Sturgis law, which clothes the COVER
nor with full wv over the sherifrs
and county attorneys to secure a strict
enforcement of the prohibition law,
Police System Elaborate.
i Under it there becomes three police
systems: First. the police system Of
the municipality; second, the police
system Of the county, headed by the
sheriff, and third. the police system of
the state, headed by his excellency the
governor.
There are already tw~enty-siX appli-
cants for places on the state commits
sion, fourteen of whom are listed with
letters Of recommendation in the exec
utive department. Governor Cobb as
yet declines to make any Of the names
public. The bill provides that there
shall be On the commission two repub-
licans and one democrat.
Because of the probability of state
officers superseding the sherifrs, each
of the latter has begun Il crusade
against the dealers. and in every coun-
ty i score of raids and seizures has
made within two days.
Liquor Sent Out of State.
The result is that all the hotel men
and liquor dealers have become
alarmed and shipped their entire stock
o u of the state, most Of it going back
to Boston wholesalers, from whom it
was purchased.
Maine tomorrow will be thoroughly
dry-the dryest state in the union. Al
ready there is talk Of a special lesis-
lature to pass a r~esubnission bill. and
If 1t is ever put up to the people
again, the opponents Of prohibition de-

overwhelming majority.

across he middle of the harbor, and
the captains of the W%arships came
ashore and, accompanied by Minister
Squiers and Secretary of State O'Far-
rell, proceeded to the palace and paid
their respects to President Palma.
Many buildings were decorated in hon

OF GEN HAWLEH
Soldier, and For Twenty-Four Years
Senator from Connecticut, Passes
AWAY at WASHINGTON.

Washington, March 2l-Gcneral Joseph
r. Hawley, for nearly twenty-four years
United States senator from Connecticut, is
dead.
Death came peacefully after a stupor
lasting with but slight Interruptions since
Wednesday afternoon. at his bedside
when the end came were Mrs. Hawley,
her three daughters and Major Hooks, for
a long time messenger to the committee
on military affairs of the senate.
The body will be taken to Hartford.
Conn, for burial, but the time for the
funeral services has not yet been fixed.
General Hawley's active career in the
senate came to and end in December, 1902,
when failing health compelled him to re-
linquish his legislative work. In Febru-
airy of 1908 he was in the senate chamber
for a short time, that being his last visit
to the capitol. He was 10 years of age.
The funeral Will be held at his old home
in Hartford, Conn.

edge
Treasurer Emerson. in a second
statement. said that the boilers of the
plant had been Inspected Within a
month.
EARLY in the evening when Medical
Examiner Payne had made a careful
examination Of all the remains. he am
nounced that it was certain that forty
three bodies We're represented In the
collection. He could not say how many
more We're represented by the bone
fragments.
At IL O'Clock four more bodies. two
male and two female, We're found in
the ruins, bringing the total known
dead up to fifty.
Among tie bodies identified late last
night We're those of former Councilman
Ernest Carlson and Miss Burrows.
The disaster vas attended by one
mystery which the police hadn't
cleared UP at a late. hour. This ws.s
the inexplicable disappearance of
David w. Rockwell. the engineer in
charge of the boiler which exploded.
During the day Rockwell was reported
as Dduly injured anu us naNlllS Deell
taken to the fire station nearby. Short
ly afterward a report reached police
headquarters that he had died. Later
on however. the police could o To-
cate his body, and it was believed that
his injury and death had been con-
fused with that of another person. 1t
was reported last night that Rockwell
had left the city, but City Marshal
Boyden expressed the opinion that the
man had been killed.
