TWO SELF-SLAIN
Strange Suicides at Ho-
tel HOIlender.
Both Men Shot Themselves in the
Head. Both Died Because Of
Domestic and Business
Troubles.
(By the Associated Press.l }

Cleveland, Ohio. March 2S.-Henry
L. Woodward, an attorney of New
York city, and Charles A. Brouse, a
travelling salesman for the National
Supply Company, of Toledo, Ohio,
committed suicide in their rooms at
the HOllenden Hotel some time during
last night and today. The bodies of
both men were found this afternoon.
The coroner's verdict in each case
gives dependency over domestic and
business troubles as the cause of the
suicides. Both men had used a pistol
and had sent a bullet into their heads
in almost the same spot, death in each
case being instantaneous.
Coroner Siegelstein said that num-
ber of letters had been found in Wood
wards possession from his wife in
New York. which showed that Wood
ward evidently had been suffering
from dependency. Their contents
were affectionate in tone and pleaded
for Woodward's return home and for
a reply to the letters. The number
of letters showed that there had been
two or three a day.
The body of Brouse was found an
hour after the discovery of the body
of Woodward. So far as is known
there was no agreement between the
two men to end their lives. although
it is said that they had been seen to-
gether i'm the lobby of the hotel
Brouse's home was at Wadsworth,
Ohio.

They PiIlage, Burn and Murder.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
st. Petersburg, March 2S.-Roving
bands of peasants continue to pillage,
burn and murder in the Chernigov
government and in Tamboff, Kazan,
and other governments in the south.
The few troops here and there are
powerless. The whole peasant popu-
lation is affected more or less. The
parish priests, under instructions from
the Holy Synod, are doing all pos
sible to quiet the peasants, but with
out making any appreciable impress
sion. With warm weather a crisis will
come, especially if it is accompanied
by orders for another extensive mobi-
lization.
In the meantime the situation in the
Caucasus is growing worse. A state
bordering on civil war exists in the
Kuban territory. where the population
has been armed for a collisio nwith
the soldiers.
In the Georgia, Mingrelia and Ku-
tais territories the red flag of revolt
has been raised.
At Yalta, Crimea, after the popu-
lation had wrecked the Vodka shops,
police quarters, ETC., warships were
sent from Sebastopol and marines
were landed as if in a hostile country.
The renewal of the bomb outrage in
Poland and the open demonstrations
in Finland against conscription are
both regarded as bad and significant
signs.

Washington, March 2S.-President
Roosevelt has accepted the proposition
of the Dominican government, made
through Minister Dawson, for the con-
troll of the finances of that republic
with a view to setting aside a portion
of the revenues of the republic for
the payment of its debts. The officers

it will be appointed by the Domini-
can government, but they VIII be NOM

The attitude of the United states
government is shown in the following
instructions given to Acting Secretary
Adee by the President:
Il direct that the minister express
acquiesence in the proposal of the gov
ernment of Santo Domingo for the col
lection and conservation of its reVe-

in my judgment, it was our duty to

Meanwhile Santo Domingo has re-

WHAT DID THEY DO2
Positive Action Taken on
RoCkefeIIer's Gift.
Washington GLADDEN. Says it Ought
Not TO be Accepted Because it
was Wrung From the
PeOpIe.
lRy the Assoeiated Pregs.)

Boston, Mass, March 2S.-Positive
action was taken on the question of
accepting John d. Rockefeller's gift of
100000 to the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions at
a meeting this afternoon of the pru-
DENTON committee of that organiza-
ton, but the nature of the action was
not disclosed. The committee an
nounced officially, however, that a
statement citing the decision of the
committee would be given out tomor-
row, after the report adopted, which
is in the form of resolutions, had been
officially communicated to a commit
tee appointed at a meeting of congre-
gational clergymen of Boston and vi
cinity to protest against the accept
ance of the Rockefeller gift.
Dr. Washington GLADDEN., modera-
tor of the Congregational church, filed
a written protest today with the pru-
Dental committee. in which he says
he objects to accepting the Rockefel-
Ter gift, because 1.-THE money thus be-
slowed does not rightfully belong to
the man who gives it: it has been
fiagitiously acquired and all the world
knows it."
He says in this case the facts are
we'll known and continues:
"The legislative inquiries, the
records of courts. have given the read
ing people of this country the ma
terials for a judgment upon the
methods of Standard Oil: and there
never was a day when their minds
were as clear on this subject as they
are now They know that this great
power has been built UP by injustice
and oppression; they know that its
immense gains have been made by
forcibly despoiling citizens of their
honest gains and shutting the doors
of opportunity upon them"
DR.. GLADDEN. says Standard Oil has
i been built up by illicit and iniquitous
control of railways" and sits power is
exerted in fixing the classification OF
| freights in such a way that it can kill
competition. Thus this stupendous
power is now able to lay its paralyzing
| hand upon all the industries of the
nation, and to force them to contri-
| butte to its enormous revenues. And
| this is the money which is offered to
the American board. We have no
right to take it. 1t does not belong to
the man who offers it. 1t belongs to
the people from whom it has been ex-
torted."
The American board also has re-
ceived communication from Rev. A.
II. Bradford. d. D., of Montclair, n. j.,
former moderator. favoring the ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Rockefeller's gift. DR..
Bradford saws:
"Why refuse Mr.. Rockefeller's
money and accept the gifts of other
stockholders of the Standard Oil Com
pany? No one doubts that much
money derived from that and other
similar sources goes into the treasury

New York, March 2S.--That the
battleship Maine through an error was
DESTROYED by bomb of his manufac-
ture was the statement made by Cess
Ter RosseaU in the Tombs prison to-
day. Rosseau was convicted yester-
day of having sent explosives to the
Cunard Line pier, this city. in May,
1903. He made the following state
ment today:
For several years, while the Cuban
patriots were struggling against Wey-

chimes of tremendous power, so ar
ranged that they could be wound UP
and left in a selected place with the
certainty that they would go of with
terrible destruction within d few hours.
At New Orleans l rented a room and
put the boxes together, after which

ban leaders who were planning q,
filibustering expedition. They had en-
gagged the Destroyer, a small vessel, to
take them to Cuba along with a num-
Der of American and European ad-
Venturers who were anxious to strike
a blow for Cuban freedom.
Several of the leaders of the party

II suggested to them that they use
my machines to destroy Spanish war
ships in the harbor of Havana and in
other ports ON the coast of the island.
They readily seized upon the idea. and
when the Destroyer sailed with the
filibustcrs, they took my two machines
with them.
"It was my intention to go along
with the party so as to direct the work
of sinking the Spanish ships. but they
lissuaded me- urging that | could be

America | saw him some time after
the war with Spain had begun.
"He told me he had nothing to do
with the boxes after reaching Cuba.

made.
"Thc man who had been intrusted
with the task of destroying a Spanish
vessel attempted to fasten a box dur

ships and blundered into blowing up

had made, committed suicide"

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
porations Trust Fund for Benefit
of Creditors.
(By the Associated Press. }

Atlanta, Ca, March 28.-The Su-
preme court Of Georgia today rendered
an important decision regarding the
liabilities of stockholders. 1t holds. in
all grants, that a subscriber to capital
stock in a corporation becomes a par
ticipant in trust fund for the benefit
of creditors of the corporation and is
liable for the full or par value of his
stock. If he has paid less than par
value for the stock, he is liable for
the difference between what he paid
and par. The decision also holds that
this responsibility attaches to the
transferee of such stock where he
knows that full value has not been
paid to the corporation. In other
words, the full paid par value of the
stock becomes a trust fund for the
benefit of creditors, to which they have
the right to look for protection of their
interests. Tt is also declared that a
trustee in bankruptcy has the right
to sue for the amount of the consoli-
dated claims of all creditors
