MOTHER ANDSON SHOT
DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT ST. PAUL
APPARENTLY THE DEED OF
A DEGENERATE.

St. Paul, April 13.-John Keller,
aged sixteen. was murdered and his
mother, Mrs. Frederick S. Keller, was
fatally wounded at their home, l
Reds court, at midnight. William
Williams, who shot them, is under ar
rest at the Central station. He gave
himself up to the police Immediately
after the shooting.
No reasonable cause has been as
signed for the shooting beyond the
statement 81 Williams that he wanted
the boy to go away with him and that
the mother refused her permission. 1t
is believed that Williams is a degen.
crate and that in a moment OF frenzy
over the refusal of his request he
fired the fatal shots.
Immediately after the shooting the
wounded boy and his mother were
removed to the city hospital. The
boy died at 8 o'clock, regaining
consciousness after being shot. There
Is little hope for the mothers recov-
cry.
The police say that Williams is a
degenerate and a sexual pervert and
give this as the motive for the crime.

ALL NEGOTIATIONS OFF.
Efforts to Settle, Chicago Strike Ap'

Chicago. April 15.-Infuriated team
sters attacked a caravan Of Mont
gomery Ward & Co. wagons near the
Northwestern freighthouse at Kinzie

John Gov. a nonunion driver, from
his wagon. The attack was made so

BY DIPLOMATIC MEANS.
AmicabIe Settlement of Moroccan Dis.
pute Likely.

Paris, April 15.-Although the de-
tails are carefully guarded there is
the best of reason to believe that con-
versations have actually begun be-
tween the representatives OF France
and Germany with the view to remov-
ing the misunderstanding relative to
Morocco. This is not yet announced
here and the officials do not wish to
give 90 optimistic an aspect to the
situation when the overtures are at
most in a preliminary stage. How
ever, 1t is certain that diplomatic
means have been found to bring about
a mutual exchange of views instead
OF the mutual determinations which
heretofore have been going on. This
favorable turn of affairs appears to
be the direct result of the more mod
crate attitude Germany has shown
after communicating with Washing
ton, London, Rome, Madrid, st. Peters
burg and Vienna.

Three More Mines.

Duluth, April 18.-Finnish miners
who went on strike a week ago at the
Hull-Rust and Sellers mines, and who
have since forced nearly 1900 men
to abandon their work at Chisholm,
Hihbing and Bull mines, succeeded
in closing the Mahoning, Agnew and
Albany mines during the afternoon,
adding nearly 600 more men to those
on enforced vacation.
Superintendent West of the Hull
Rust mine has been served with no.
tice by the strikers that if he did not
have his pumps up by 10 a. m. they
will use force.
The strikers have been so much en-
couraged by their temporary sue
cesses in frightening their fellow
countrymen into abandoning the mines
that they have become SO emboldened
as to dictate to the owners of the
mines. The business men of Hibbing,
Chisholm and Duluth will hold a
meeting during the day to discuss the
matter Of calling upon Governor John.
