EDITOR MURDERED IN ROOM
EmpIoye Of new YORK Times Benten
and stabbed 90 Death by Uni-
dentiaed AssaiIant

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Jacob II Thomp-
son. excl uge editor Of the New York
Times, who was found unconscious in his
apartments in the St. James hotel today,
died at Flower hospital at $3.50 o'clock to-
night without having regained conscious
ness Mr.. Thompson was fully clothed when
found and in an apparently dying condition.
There is much mystery surrounding the
case Coroner Scholer expressing his belief
that the injuries sustained by Mr.. Thomp-
son were the result of a fall after a stroke
Of apoplexy. while the hospital surgeons
maintain that murder was done. Coroner
schoer was with the injured pe~- -
end, hoping he might regal
and make a statement.
The theory of a crime is concurred in by
the surgeons at the hospital the entire
staff agreeing in the statement that Mr.
Thompson had been beaten. There is, how
ever no known motive for a murderous
attack upon the editor.
The police, who earlier in the day had
held the crime theory, switched around to-
night and agreed with the coroner as
against the opinion held by the doctors
The final police report on the case, record
ing the death of the injured man, attributes
the fatality to fall following a stroke of
apoplexy.
SnHfp DIVISION OF opinion occurred be
tween the coroner and police on one hand
and several physicians on tie other, the
first mentioned party declaring that fall
during apoplectic attack caused Mr
Thompsons injuries. Three doctors, be-
sides reterating their assertion than an
assailant strangled Mr.. Thompson found
that in addition to other injuries their
patients Jaw was broken that he had five
scalp wounds and that both his eyes were
blackened. They decided, however that
what at first appeared ia he a stab wound
had been made by the breaking Of Mr..
Thompson's glasses. The coroner's opinion
was supported by the hotel officers and by
the chambermaid who first found the in
iured guest. She said that he was in a
sitting posture and was acting as If he
wished to grasp his throat. is collar had
been torn open. She saw this about 8
o'clock in the morning. An examination
of the room revealed traces of blood on the
walls and on the furniture against which
Mr.. Thompson might have fallen. He was
known to be subject to attacks OF vertigo.
Mr.. Thompson was about 60 years old.

two points it will be necessary to
construct four steel bridges, Mr..
Doherty says. False work will be
put it and the work prosecuted
without delay. As to the road go
ing to Galveston, Mr.. Doherty said
no definite information could be
given out, but remarked that 1t
would quite likely go there. The
genial passenger agent was enthu-
siastic over the visit of the Corpus
Christi party, and their reception
and entertainment by our people,
and says the hearty cooperation OF
the two cities and in fact all along
the line would mean an era of de-
velopment that would astonish the
world. THE HERALD agrees with
Mr.. Doherty, and urges upon
all the absolute necessity of joining
hands in making this section, as il
is destined to be, the garden of the
world.
A prospecting party consisting
Messrs. ]. w. Byrnes, c. L. Scud-
der, w. c. Taylor and S. n. Walk
er, prominent bankers and capital
lists of St. Louis, arrived in the
city last evening. These gentle
men are combining business and
pleasure, and are taking advantage
of the fine hunting in this section.
They have travelled over various
portions of Texas looking for the
best our great state has to offer,
coming recently from Bay City.
THE HERALD extends to the visit
ors a hearty welcome to our city
and trusts they many see fit to be-
come materially interested in the
Brownsville country. They are
viewing the many interesting fea-
lures and sights Of Matamoros to-
day, and will remain in this sec
tion a few days.
A HERALD man today met H.
d. Goldman, of Houston, who sells
Harper whiskey, and says it is the
best, who arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Goldman
was in Brownsville about twenty
years ago, and says he finds great
many marked changes during the
last two decades. Mr.. Goldman
tells a HERALD reporter that Hous-
tor is enjoying a great era of pros
perity and that the Humble oil
field, seventeen miles from that
city is the finest in the world. A
fine shell road extends from Hous-
ton to Humble, and daily drives
are taken by automobile, carriage
and bicycle, by those interested i'll
oil development in that section,
others being attracted through
curiosity.
Among other items concerning
Improvements in Matamoros, may
be mentioned the fact that the
rooms occupied by the U. S. con-
sulate in the Yturria building, on
Abasolo street, are being thorough
ly renovated. Consul Griffith has
made arrangements TO take the en-
tire second floor of the building,
and will occupy the entire suite OF
rooms on the left side of the en-
trance hall as his private residence,
using the remaining rooms as Of
fees for the consulate. The rooms
will be quite handsome when fin
ished.
The new hotel in Matamoros,
which was formerly the Peia resi-
dence, on Abasolo street, was open
ed for business yesterday. The
building has been remodeled and
furnished in an up-to-date style
for the accommodation of the trav-
cling public, and will doubtless be
quite an addition to Matamoros in
that line.

NIGHTMARE OF
GREAT BRITAIN
Some Day Russia May Advance Upon
India.
RAILWAYS CREEPING CLOSE
JOHN BULL WILL BE READY
WHEN THE TIME COMES.

London. May lin the house of
commons today Premier Balfour said
that having regard for the changes in
the sea power Of other nations, a re-
distribution Of the fleet and army was
desirable for colonial defense, and the
committee on defense Of the admiralty
has concluded that the fleet and the
army should be concentrated in the
center of the empire. from which they
would be distributed as necessity arose.
An invasion Of India here has been
the dream Of many military leaders.
The progress Of Russia towards the
Afghanistan frontier and the cOncen-
tTatlOn Of strategic railroads compelled
the government to consider with all
seriousness what its great military
neighbors could do No surprise was
possible in an invasion of India Any
collision OF magnitude between the two
powers must depend upon the rapidity
OF railroad construction. General Lord
kltcheneT'S view was that. in addition
10 the ordinary drafts. eight infantry
divisions and other corresponding arms
should be available for the defense of
India in the first year of a war. If
Great Britain permitted the slow
absorption Of AfghaniStan in a way
similar to that in which the central
ASIAN states had been absorbed. and If
Russia'S strategic railroads were al
lowed TO creep closer and closer to the
frontier, Great Britain would ultimate
~ pay for her sUpineness by helping
70 keep on foot an army far larger
than could be contemplated with
equanimity. and she would be faced
with the greatest military problems
which had ever confronted the British
government
Mr.. BalfOUT remarked that the de-
VelOpment Of Russia toward India has
from time to time caused great alarm.
Great Britain had in vain by diploma
tic means endeavOTed to prevent Rus
Sla'S expansion, which must now be
taken as an accepted fact. Although
the invasion Of India was much talked
of by Russian officers, he did not be
lieve that it formed any part of the
scheme OF the Russian government.
