FINN ASSASS|NS
LIVED TOGETHER
SCHAUMANN AND H0HENTHAL
WARM FRIENDS
Novoe Vremya Traces seditions Bloody
Work in Finland to a Group OF
RevoIutionists Behind

BY AssocIated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HELS1NGFORS, Finland Feb s.
A connection between the assassina-
tion of Governor General Bobrlkoff of
Finland in June last by Eugene
Schaumann and Procurator General
Soisalon Soninen last Monday by
Karl Hohenthal has been established,
it being learned that Schaumann and
Hohenthal lived at the same boarding
house and were warm friends. Hohen-
thai approved generally of Schau-
mann's deed, but confided to an ac-
quaintance that he was of the opin-
ion that it was not manly to commit
suicide afterwards, considering it was
Schaumann's duty to face the music"
in such q case, If unable to escape.
The report that Hohenthal took poi
son before entering the late procura-
tor generals apartment does not ac-
cord with this view, and the cool
manner in which he reloaded his pls-
tol as later established, and exchanged
shots with Soininen's son and a de-
tective speaks volumes for his deter
mination. SO many shots were fired
apartment was filled with smoke.
The police as yet have not made any
arrests but domiciliary visits and
searches are expected soon. There are
no outward indications of the crime.
The city is calm and the newspapers
give brief details of the shooting but
are under orders not to discuss it.

KEARNS' ACTION
CREATING UPROAR
HIS AMENDMENT CREPT INTO
STATEHOOD BILL
To Restore to Arizona the Eliminated
Territory Would Be to ImperiI
the Whole Measures
Safety

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-There was
surprise and bewilderment among
many senators today when 1t was dis
covered that the amendment to the
statehood bill offered by Senator
Kearns, annexing to Utah that portion
of Arizona lying west and north of
the Colorado river, was in the bill ds
1t had been made up last night after
it passed the senate, although the gen
eral understanding had been that tho
Kearns amendment was eliminated By
another amendment offered by Sena-
tor Bacon.
How il came to be included in the
bill is a matter that no one seems able
to explain, and there are suggestions
of skullduggery in connection with the
affair that may lead to an investiga-
tion. This is made all the more prob
able by the feeling that exists in the
senate against Kearns. because of the
strange manner in which he changed
his vote yesterday, and the explana.
tion which he offered in the senate to-
day. He claimed that he had been
wrongly recorded, but no less than
half a dozen senators fatty contra
dicted him on this point, declaring
that they heard him distinctly vote
yes on the Bard amendment. This
testimony of senator's on the floor is
borne out by that of persons in the
gallery. Altogether the Utah senator
has been left in very unenviable po-
comment is heard among his col
leagues on his conduct.
The worst of the matter is that there
seems no way of eliminating the
Kearns amendment from the bill, and
restoring to Arizona the eliminated
territory north of the Colorado, with
out imperilng the whole bill. Speak,
er Cannon and other house leaders
would prefer to kill the bill altogeth-
er rather than accept it in the shape
in which it came from the senate.
They do not like the admission of
New Mexico as a single state and
will do all in their power to induce
the house to refuse to concur in the
senate amendments, or, failing that,
they will try to get the bill into con-
ference and smother it there. About
the only hope of saving the bill there
fore lies in having the house take it
just as it stands, for attempts to
change it in any particular would en-
danger it in both house and senate.
In well informed quarters here it
is held that as matters stand the bill
has just about an even chance of
ever becoming law in any form. If
square vote can be had in the house
on the question of concurring in the
senate amendment, the bill will be
saved for there seems to be no doub.
that there are enough Republicans in
the house who will join with the DEM
ocrats to put the bill through not
withstanding the hostility of some of
the leaders.
The California delegation it is under
Stood will vote solidly for concurring
in the senate amendments and so will,
many of the Pennsylvania delegation

An Old Baltimore County Homestead
Among the rapidly disappearing old houses
located in the vicinity of Baltimore there re-
mains one still in excellent repair after the
Mount Dillon, about two miles north of Ca
louisville, on the old Frederick road, which has
been owned and occupied by Mr.. Samuel Kirk
Crosby since 1916. Mr.. Crosby will celebrate
his 81st birthday in few days.
When Mr.. Crosby took possession he was
told by John Moak, surveyor, that the house
was built when the latter was boy, rs years
previous, by David Carroll making the build
ing 1876 years old.
David Carroll, John Moak said, was one of
the Commissioners of Maryland to sign the
Constitution of the United States and that he
sold the land upon which Baltimore is built
for a quantity of tobacco. Concerning the
house itself the old surveyor told Mr.. Crosby
that Mr.. Carroll gave to Mr.. Sheldon $50
Engleside) to build it, and that Mr.. Carroll was
an old type farmer, who raised tobacco and
furnished field hands for Southern plantations.
The old negro quarters were standing when
Mr.. Crosby took possession. Mr.. Carroll is
said to have leased lots on the Frederick road
that he named Dillonfield, where a tavern
stand for teams was located. The teamsters
fare was invariably cornbread and bacon, which
gave the place the name OF Johnnie Cake
Town, and Johnnie Cake Town and Johnnie
Cake road it has remained unto this day. The
old log houses comprising the town have dis
appeared and about half the number of frame
houses replace them, and the old Johnnie Cake
road upon which it once took two hours to
travel six miles is now a fine turnpike.
On the west of Mount Dillon is tract of
land belonging to the estate of the late George
Appold who is said to have purchased it from
the estate of Nicholas Carroll, brother of
Daniel Carroll.

unless something is done the people OF Canton
and Highlandtown will have to take the law
into their own hands. Mr.. Incoming said there
are plenty of residents who would be willing
TO serve as special officers without pay II the
Board would only appoint them. Mr.. Yellott
replied that the Board was disposed to make
the appointments, but is not fully advised as
to its powers. He told the visitors to send IN
