WOULD HANG A WOMAN
Mrs. Myers Is Found Guilty Of Afro
cious Murder of Husband.

Liberty, Mo, June 1.-THE jury
which has been sitting for the past
week in the case of Agnes Myers of
Kansas City, charged with the murder
of her husband, Clarence Myers, re-
turned a verdict of guilty Of murder in
the first degree. This verdict means
that the death penalty by hanging is
to be inflicted.
The crime for which Mrs. Meyers was
convicted was one of the most atrocious
ever committed. According to the story
of her paramount, Frank Hoffman, who
confessed to being an accomplish with
Mrs. Meyers in the murder of her nus
band, the crime was p~remeditated and
was executed in the most brutal man
ner. Hoffman vas tried last February
for the crime and was convicted and is
cording to Hottman's confession he was
admitted to the Myers home at an
early hour on the morning of May 10,
1904. by Mrs. Myers, in accordance with
a prearranged plan to kill Clarence
Myers. After Mrs. Myers had adminis-
tered a drug to her husband to compel
sleep Hoffman went to the bedside Of
the sleeping man and dealt him a blow
with a billiard cue. This served to
arouse Myers, who grappled with Hott-
man, and as the LAGER was intoxicated
Myers was getting the better of the
fight, when Mrs. Myers struck her hus-
band with a bed Stat and later cut his
throat with a razor repeatedly. She
then stabbed the dying man in the back
s. half dozen times with a pair OF scis-.
sors.

Chicago, Boston and New York. The
markets of Chicago, St. Paul, Boston,
Buffalo and New York are supplied

STANDARD OIL GETS III
Purchase of Hyde's Stock by Ryan Is
at Last Fully Under
ctooJ

New York, June 14.-Why, If the
Equitable is to be mutual1zed and its
control turned over to its 600, 900
policyhoTders did Thomas Fortune
Ryan pay to James Razen Hyde four
or five millions of dollars for stock in
the society having a par value of only
$4,000?
Samuel Untermeyer, Mr.. Hyde's
counsel, gives an explanation that is
very much to the credit Of human
nature. q regard Mr.. Ryan's action,'
he says, "as the most magnificent ex-
hibition of public spirit and unselfsh-
ness that | have ever encountered
within 100 miles of Wall street."
But, the street" being a bit cynical,
doesn't tax Mr.. Untermeyer's explana-
ton seriously and seeks a motive in
$413, $685. 20 of assets hat ever have
been the coveted clay of the potters
who mold giant enterprises. The
street. sees no sudden turn to philan-
trophy on the part Of Mr.. Ryan, but
only the cold, calculating man of bust
ness, who has risen from poverty to
the foremost ranks among the organ
izers of railroads and public utility
corporations generally.
Mr.. Ryan is for the instant the cen-
trail figure on the stage of high finance.
but to those who look deepest into the
situation his present commanding posi-
ton only accentuateS the increasing
Capitalization of power in the hands
of the group that is reaching for the
control Of all the public utilities OF
the country.
Nominally Mr.. Ryan represented the
Policyholders Of the Equitable society
N his purchase Of the Hyde stock and
us conveyance to trustees who are to
carry out plans of naturalization. But
ne particularly represents the traction
interests, the gas and electric light
interests. the railroad interests and the
industrial trust interests of the United
States.
The subgroups embraced in the grand
scheme of centralized power are not
fixed quantities. but they shift with
conditions and are all united in times OF
crisis by an inner governing board,
One hears OF the Rockefeller group, of
which Thomas r. Ryan is just now said
to be a favored lieutenant, the leaders
of which. aside from the Rockefellers,
are II. II. Rogers, James Stillman and
a few bankers identified with Standard
Oil institutions.

What chance would a fleet Of airy

declare it as impossible as for a frigate

But all this is to be tested. There

Today Fortress Monroe is powerful
enough, but its availability for defense
of the bay is matter Of conjecture, be-

Japanese Public Demands That Fruit
of Victory Shall Be Great.

Toxic, June 4.-The japanese con-
tinue to maintain an attitude of re-
serve toward the question of peace.
There We're demonstrations in the
streets of the capital late Saturday
evening, and tois:y students organized
q celebration, but a rainstorm speedily
cleared the streets. It seemed to be the
popular fear that Japan will sacrifice
the advantage of Admiral Togo's vic
tory, as well as Field Marshal Oya1na's
opportunity by consenting to a arm
stice now. 1t is felt that Togo's VIC
tory opens the entire Russian Pacific
coast to INVASION, and that Oyama is
capable Of speedily taking Hardin, cut
ting the railroad and isolating Vladi-
vostok. 1t is also feared that the Rus
slams will take advantage of the m
stice to improve their positions and
strengthen their forces.
The Jill says: Japan has shown a
willingness to appoint plenipotentialies
to meet the Russians and negotiate
peace, but it is premature to think this
will lead to the ultimate conclusion
of peace. Much as Japan would like
to see peace effected nothing shor of
the full rights of victors and placing
The peace of the orient in a perma-
nent basis will satisfy Japan. 1t is
premature to discuss the terms of
peace. 1t probably will become nee
essary to arrange an armstice at the
commencement of negotiations and it
will be essential to obtain some guar
antee before concluding an armstice in
order to prevent the interests and posi-
tons of Japan from suffering in the
event of negotiations being broken off.
The great and unprecedented Japanese
victory must not be forgotten. Rus
sia's great power is nearly broken
down. 1t might require years before
the ultimate result OF the war is at

longation of the a but the heavy loss
Of live involved move the people from

The Jill thanks President Roosevelt

be prepared for the non-success Of

necessity of continuing the struggle.
