MURDER CLUE FOUND.
State Police Make Discovery in Win
throp Suit Case Mystery.


Boston, Oct. est leaked from The
headquarters of the state police last
night that there has at last been real
discovery in the temporarily pigeon.
holed Winthrop dress suit murder mys-
terry.
A valuable clue has come to Chief
Shaw and his men from Lynn, and fol-
several days members Of the staff OF
the state police have been quietly at
work.
No information IS volunteered for pub
LEGATION, as it is feared that publicity
might interfere with the plans OF the
officers and cause the man suspected
to take warning and leave the state.
1t IS said that Chief Shaw has pur-
posely allowed the impression to go out
that he had abandoned the case in order
that the real criminal might be less on
the alert and possibly do something to
betray himself.
According to reports this is exactly
what has been done-the guilty man
has not kept his secret SO well when he
thought the police were off his trail ];
but all the while he has been under
surveillance.
There is no doubt but what it looks
bad for the man, but the state police
are using the utmost care that no mis-
takes are made. They do not want to
make an arrest unless they win be able
to show good reasons why their man
should be held.

MIRO THE ~KIrHcEN CABINET"
Assistant Secretary of State wades the
River With the President.

Robert Bacon, first assistant secretary
Of state, and former partner OF j. Pier
pont Morgan, was initiated into the
kitchen cabinet last Friday by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, says the Washington
correspondent of the Boston Globe The
other members Of the kitchen cabinet
are Clifford Pinchot, forester for the
United States; James r. Garfield, Chief
Of the bureau of corporations; Senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts,, and one or two
other close personal friends Of the Pres
ident. II rained pitchforks last Friday
and the president had reception to
| the American Bankers association on
hand. He got tired after a time. and
sent word to Pinchot and Bacon to come
to the White House at 4 O'Clock. The
presidents message to Pinchot said /:
Il intend to initiate Bacon
Bacon is rich and so is pinchot, and
the question of clothes does not bother
them much. They were at the White
House at 4 o'clock in natty business
suits, patent leather shoes and all that
sort OF thing. They found the Presi-
dent dressed in a very old and disreput-
able suit, with a rough rider hat and
a pair OF heavy shoes. The president
looked at Bacon and Pinchot, grinned
and said: "Come on; weTl take a
tramp They went out into the rain.
The president led the way and took his
companions out Pennsylvania avenue
through Georgetown and down narrow
street to the bank of the canal. There
was bridge about mile down the
canal, but none at the point where the
president stopped.
70, well" said the president, Sit does
not matter. Bacon, you take our watches
and pocketbooks and Pinchot and | will
wade across. Nou 20 down to the bridge
yonder and meet Us on the other side"
\ Not by a darn sight, said Bacon,
who was an athlete himself when he
was in college. Il came out on this
walk with you and | am going where
you 60"
Bully" shouted the President. "Come
on, then" He plunged into the canal
and Pinchot and Bacon followed. The
water was about four feet six inches
deep at this point The three men wad-
ed across, the President leading. They
were thoroughly wet from the heavy
rain, so the further ducking made no
difference, but when the President got
on the other side and looked at patent
leather shoes and the natty business
suits of Bacon and Pinchot he grinned
again. They walked several miles on
the other side of the canal, and came
swinging back to the city about 6
o'clock. The President told Bacon he
had been initiated and was full-fedged
member Of the kitchen cabinet. Bacon
is now open to all sorts of invitations
from the President for exercise in the
open air. When Pinchot got home he
was met at the door by the negro mann
my, who has been in his family for
years, and who was Pinchot's nurse.

HARD TO BELIEVE.
Story That Will Interest Smokers, Told
as Though It Were True.

A well-known farmer, says an eastern
exchange, fed his horse by intake a
quantity of poultry food, thinking it
was stock food, and the mistake was
not noticed until the horse had scratched
up half the garden and showed signs
of wanting to set.
While this sounds little improbable,
yet one of the clerks at G. H. Kendrick
4 Co.'s tells story akin to it. They
recently secured the agency for Wads-
worth Bros Chicos, cigar that sells
for sc, but il the equal in quality of
any 10c cigar, and in fact is preferred
by many smokers. They induced one
Of their customers who had never smoked
anything but an ordinary SC cigar to
try a Chico, with the result that he now
wants high grade goods in all lines.
Don't buy Wadsworth Bros Chicos
because it Is cheap; buy it because it
is good, because it is a clear long Ha-
vana filler, because it has high grade
tobacco flavor and delightful aroma,
because it's the best cigar you can get
for solid enjoyment there is sat
isfaction in feeling that you are getting
all this for nickel.

Taft Welcomed at Toxic.

Toxic, July 25.-The Hochi, Count
Okuma's newspaper organ. tomorrow
will publish leading article welcom-
ing the Taft party and gratefully re-
calling what the United States has
been to the Japanese since the time of
Commodore Perry-an unerring guide
and friend. The policy Of the United
States toward Japan, the article will
say, has been an unbroken record of
kindly assistance. politically and COM
mercially. In fact, in all departments
of the progress. Of modern Japan
Americas help is clearly traceable. Es-
pecially President Roosevelt's success
full endeavor in bringing the peace
plenipctentiaries together adds men,
orable chapter to the already magnifi-
cent record of Americas invaluable aid
to Japan.
The paper regrets that the shortness
of the party's stay will not admit of an
adequate manifestation Of the general
feeling of gratitude and appreciation
toward the government and people to
which the distinguished party belongs.
The Hochi article is typical of the
feeling throughout the empire.

Rattlesnakes in large numbers have

Kaiser and Gar Meet.

Berlin, July 25.-The foreign office
here is advised that a meeting between
Emperor William and Emperor Nicho-
las took place early yesterday off the
Swedish coast near the island of Bjoer-
koe.
The meeting of the two emperors
took place on the initiative Of Emperor
Nicholas.
The prevailing idea is that the Rus
sian Emperor desired an outside opin-
ion from ruler of his own rank on
the internal situation in Russia. His
invitation to Emperor William is re-
garded as being the result of friend
ship and confidence in him.
Although the meeting is considered
as being of high importance for Russia.
1t cannot signify any change in Ger
many's policies toward Japan or Rus
sia. Emperor William had not seen
the Russian Emperor since the autumn
of 1908, at Wiesbaden. The German
Emperor went within easy distance of
St. Petersburg because it would be i'm
polite Tor Emperor Nicholas to leave
the country and visit German waters.
The meeting is a sequence to the cor
respondence that has been going on be-
tween the two emperors concerning
peace in which Emperor William urged
Emperor Nicholas to take steps toward
peace.

Cabinet Will Not Resign.

London, July 25.-The government
has no inteution of resigning in conse-
quence of Thursdays adverse vote.
This was the gist of Premier Balfour's
eagerly anticipated statement in the
House Of Commons yesterday.
Mr.. Balfour, who was heartily
cheered by his supporters on rising.
tried the patience of his hearers
somewhat by a long disquisition on
how former administrations had ig-
nored defeats similar to that of Thurs
day for resignation or dissolution and
announced that the government did
not propose either to resign or dissolve
Parliament because of Thursdays oc-
currence.
The premier considered that it
would be a grave evil if the tenure of
ministers was made dependent on such
votes as that of Thursday. He hoped
the practice would never prevail of al
lowing a government united in itself
and possessing the confidence of the
majority of the House, to abandon its
post merely in consequence of such a
vote.

Sultan's Marrow Escape.

Constantinople. July 23.-At 1 p. m.
Friday a bomb which was intended to
blow up the Sultan fell short and ex-
ploded about thirty yards from his ma
jesty. The latter was at the time on
the top step of the fight of stairs lead
ing from the mosque.
A panic Immediately seized the Sui
tan's encourage and the court digni-
taries rushed up and implored Abdul
'Hamid to remain in the mosque.
The Sultan, however. insisted on
proceeding and entered his carriage
with calmness not usually attributed
to him, and picking up the reins, drove
himself to the Yildiz palace, amid the
cheers Of the admiring officials.
Tne explosion was heard as far as
the Pera quarter. Besides the soldiers
in the vicinity, several horses were
killed, carriages were smashed into
matchwood and the windows of the pa
vilion reserved for the diplomatic
corps were broken.
The commission appointed to inquire
into the attempt on the life of the Sui
tan has ascertained that the explosion
of the bomb caused the death of twen-
ty-four persons and wounded fifty
seven. In addition, fifty-five horses
were injured.
The preliminary investigations tend
to show that the outrage was commit.
ted by two Hungarians.
