Miss Margaret slrtwlstls, Who Was
Struck by Hooks Machine SUM-
day, Dies at Good ssmar-
tan Hospital

In spite of all that skilled surgical
attendance and the best of nursing
could do to save her life Miss Margaret
Birtwistle, the young woman who was
run over by Barbee Hooks automobile
Sunday afternoon on Downey avenue,
died at the hospital Of the Good Sa-
maritan at II o'clock last night. An
inquest will be held Thursday morning.
AS soon as he was notified of the
death of the young woman Coroner
Trout announced that he will conduct
full investigation into the manner in
which she was killed. The two young
women who were with Hook, whose
names have not yet been made pub
lie, and Thomas Rife, will be summoned
to the inquest and their testimony will
be put on record.
1t is hardly probable that Hook will
be prosecuted, as the evidence intro
duced by himself and his companions
is to the effect that his machine was
running moderate rate of speed
when It struck Miss Birtwistle.

RAILROAD POOL FAILS
Attempt to Divide Western Conven-
tion Business collapses

special TO Ihe Herald.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-The proposed
pool of the western railroads for the
division of the convention business
moving between Chicago and the coast
has collapsed.
All the roads will act separately, as
they have done in the past, in getting
convention business, of which there is
no limit on the number of free tickets
given to delegations to secure business.
Several of the western roads started
out two weeks ago to form pool on
convention business of which there is
large amount in prospect for the
coming summer. Competition in past
years has led to the practice of Civ
ing away tickets to secure business.
1t was proposed to put limit on the
number of free tickets and to divide
the business equally among all the
roads.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
KreisIer Concert

Fritz Kreisler, the Austrian violinist
greatest artists of the day, last evening
proved that the most extravagant
claims made for him are more than
justified. 1t has been declared that
he is to be the successor of Joachim
in point of extraordinary achievement;
but last nights performance demon
strated that he is a genius who cannot
be compared to any predecessor since
he unites all the qualities of an in
dependent greatness,
The magic of Kreislers supreme art
cannot be fairly indicated. His tone is
remarkable for it's clarity, sweetness
and brilliancy; it is velvet in its
smoothness and marvellous in the deli
cacy of it's shadings. Kreisler is one
of the few masters of the violin. His
technique is fiawless but his power
lies not in his superb bowling or his
dextrous lingering, for he is endowed
with a poetic intelligence which enables
him to take rank among the most
eclectic virtuosi.

Kreisler was recalled many times and
as an encore after the Paganini cap
rice he gave RELATIONSHIPS "Chant

WieniawslSi's "Airs Russes," caused a
demonstration such as is seldom given
an artist. Kreisler had brought to his
audience the soul of the music. He
had held all who heard him by the
magic of an art which spiritualizes
melody. Being really great he had ap-
pealed to every class and when he left
the stage there was moments hush
before the outbreak of applause.

companist.

RUSSIAN MOBILES
MUCH ALARMED
URGE ON GOVERNMENT NEED

state That Workmen Fill the Peasants
With Revolutionary Ideas and
Increase Their Demand

By Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 2s-Ths
action Of the nobility Of the government
of Moscow at the meeting held yester-
day, in urging the necessity for SOME
measure of popular representation
while taking distinct stand against
constitutional government Of the
Find enjoyed by the nations of vest
ern Europe, introduced the first organ
lied conservative element into the sit
uation. Most of the mobiles are landed
proprietors who have become greatly
alarmed by the peasant movement,
which is threatening property in the
country, and they will undoubtedly try
to rally to their support the city prop
erty elemsnts. all of which, they claim,
are endangered by the coming tide of
lawlessness.
The mobiles urge that the time has
come for Cooperation with the govern
ment for mutual protection, pointing
out that the strikes in the cities, 10y
sending thousands of workmen filled
with revolutionary ideas back to their
villages, besides introducing political
ideas among the peasants, only In
creases the latter's demand for land
In many districts the landlords are
organizing guards to protect their prop
erty at their own expense, the troops
which the government is able to send
being insufficient.
Rowing bands of peasants continue to
pillage, burn and murder in the Chern-
igov government and in Tamboff, Ka-
San and other governments in the
south. The few troops here and there
are powerless. The parish priests, un-
der instructions from the Holy Synod,
are doing all possible to quiet the
peasants, but without making any ap-
preciable impression. With warm
weather a crisis will come, especially ir
it is accompanied by orders for another
extensive mobilization.
Civil War in Caucasus
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 collision with the
soldiers.
In the Georgia, Mingrelia and Kutais
territories the red flag of revolt has
been raised
At Yalta, Crimea,. after the popula-
tion had wrecked the vodka shops, po-
lice quarters, ETC., warships were sent
from Sevastopol and marines were
landed as if in a hostile country.
The renewal of the bomb outrages in
Poland and the open demonstrations
in Finland against conscription are
both regarded as bad and significant
signs.

ARMOUR HEAD
MAN INDICTED
CHARGED WITH INFLUENC ING
WITNESSES
Thomas j. Connors, General Supern-
tendent, Arrested on Bench War;
rant and Released on Five
Thousand Dollar Bond
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 2S.-The federal
grand jury tonight returned an indict-
ment against Thomas j. Connors. gen.
eral superintendent of Armour & Co.,
on charge of interfering with wit
ness summoned to appear before the
jury now investigating the so-called
beef trust
Connors, who is j. Ogden Armour $
most confidential employe and the ac-
tive head of one of the largest packing
companies of the world, was arrested
on bench warrant by a deputy United
States marshal and brought to the
grand jury room, where he was re-
leased on $4,000 bond. After his release
Mr.. Connors refused to discuss the
matter.
The indictment charges that John
Edward Shields of Brooklyn, a former
employe of Armour & Co., who testi-
ned before the grand jury, was ap-
preached, favored and entertained by
Mr. Connors. and specifically states
that on March 25 the offense upon
which Mr.. Connors was indicted oc-
Cured.
1t is also charged that Shields was
given the use of Armour and com D..
pany's offices at 2O5 La Sale street
to transact his business while in Chi
cago and also the use of the private
telegraph wires in the office of the
packing company.
Another allegation is that Shields
was entertained by Connors and that
Connors suggested to the proposed wit
ness that he should testify favorably
to Armour and company, and not tell
all that he knew concerning the mat
ter under investigation.
The second count of the Indictment
charges that Mr.. Connors did not limit
his attempt at influencing witnesses
to Mr.. Shields. but that other wit
nesses who have not yet appeared in
Chicago have been approached by him
and attempts made to influence them
as to the nature of the testimony they
would give before the jury.
