FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Death of Rich New Yorker Mystery
Officials Baffied.

Charles A. Edwards of New York, for
merly president of the Passaic Chemical
Company of New jersey, and more re-
Gently an officer of the General Chemical
Company, with office in New York city,
was mysteriously given a death wound
from pistol ball while lying in bed during
the night the guest of his brother-in-Iaw,
Charles A. Hitler, in New Haven, Conn. so
mysterious was the case from the outset
that Deputy Coroner Pond opened in
quest at police headquarters, following
long and searching investigation at the
Hitler home, almost directly opposite East
Divinity, a dormftory of Yale
Mr. Edwards was found dying in his
chamber by Charles A. Hitler. He bad re-
tired about II o'clock Tuesday night, alter
sister, Mrs. Samuel Harris Early In the
day he had come over from New York for
this special purpose, and of late he had
been a frequent visitor here, usually az a
guest of either Charles A. or A. Maxey
Hitler, both brothers-in-law. He retired
apparently in the best of spirits. His fail
ure to appear at breakfast led Charles A.
Hitler to go upstairs. According to Ihelat-
ter the chamber door was not locked, and.
going in. he saw Mr.. Edwards, apparently
unconscious from what was at first thought
to be a stroke of apoplexy.
A neighbor, DR. Metcalf who IS a dem
fist, was called, and he gave restoratives,
under the impression that it was a saroke
of apoplexy. A little later Benjamin II.

Edwards was then breathing his last. In
the course of his treatment of the dying
man DR.. Cheney found bullet hole in the
left side OF the head directly behind the
ear. The hemorrhage from it had not been
profuse, but, as It later was determined
the bullet had gone directly into the brain
The death of Mr.. Edwards was reported
by Charles A. Hitler to Deputy Coroner
Pond, who at once went to the house. while
q messenger summoned A. Maxey Hitler
from the superior court, where he was Try
ing a case. At first glance Deputy Coro-
ner Pond thought that death was an act
of suicide, but the absence of the weapon,
which hours of searching failed TO reveal,
gave rise to suspicion Of murder.
Lated the police were notified of the
death, and a guard was sent to the house
and several detectives assigned 10 the case.
The police reached the conclusion that
there had been a murder. and the investi-
cation proceeded this line. They found
that the house had not been broken into
forcibly but an unbolted kitchen door,
which the house servants claimed was Sc
curey fastened during the night gave
possible clue that some had passed
out of the house by this means rhera was
no sign of a weapon.

GOSSIP OVER YERKEs' WILL.
Reported New Document Was Drawn
During Last Illness.

The will of Charles T. Yerkss does nos
embody his last wishes, according to state-
ments made yesterday In New York by
men who are in position to know tho
plans and desires of the millionaire juss
before his death.
1t is known that he dictated a will wll,Ie
in his last Illness In that city three weeks
before his death. 1t is alleged to have
been written down by Attorney Adrian IL.
Joline The instructions of the dying mis-
lonaire were to draft the will as speedily
as possible and return It to him for bin
signature.
Owing to the complicated nature OF the
instructions and the many bequests :hau
neceSsitated most careful work, sonIe time
was required by the lawyers to prepare ira
document. When it was finally taken to
his sick room in the hotel Mr.. Yerkes was
pronounced by those around him to be in
no condition to comprehend the phrases OF
the document or to sign It,
This last will as dictated, but never
signed, is said to have been vastly jrerenr
in it's provisions for the distribution of the

GEORGIA VISITED BY TORNADO.
Two Killed and Four Wounded at
Albany.

A tornado of terrific force passed Albany,
Ca, yesterday afternoon, coming from a
southeasterly direction and spreading ruin
and desolation over portions of dszen
blocks. Several persons are dead, others
will die as the result of injuries, and many
are more or less seriously hurt Viewing
the wreckage left by the tornado, it seems
a miracle that scores were not killed out
right, the tribute claimed in the way of
humand lives being astonishingly small.
Hundreds of colored people IN the city
are homeless and many have lost ell their
household effects The injured are being
cared for, and efforts are being made to Sc
cure shelter for all.
1t is difficult to estimate the property
loss. The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Com
pany Is the principal sufferer, its destroyed
buildings and machinery having been worth
$4,000. 1t Is said that the total loss Will
be found to amount to $4,000. Very little
Of the destroyed property was protected by
tornado insurance.
The Southern Bell Telephone Company is
among the heaviest sufferers. It's lines
were down in several parts of the city.
Some little apprehension is felt for Pre-
toria in the southwestern part of the
county. The tornado came from that direc-
ton, and az the telegraph wires are down
nothing can be heard from there.

Faust Produced without Chorus.

Gounod's Faust was sung at the Metros
politan Opera House In New York last night
without a chorus, the result of strike OF
the recently organized chorus union. The
union on Monday had demanded that sala-
ries be raised nearly so per cent Directors
Heinrich Conried met the representatives OF
the union and told them that If members OF
the chorus would come to him as individuals
he would use his best efforts to better their
condition but would refuse to treat with
them as members of a labor union.
Mr.. Conreid appeared and addressed the
audience, telling briefly of his dealings with
the chorus unions representatives ana
stating that a new chorus would be or
ganized as speedily as possible, no performs
ance being omitted In the meantime. Mr..
Conried told the members of the chorus
that no one who went on strike in violation
of an Individual contract would be re-en-
gagged for a Methoropitan chorus. The
chorus numbered about one hundred and
fifty persons.

FAMINE IN NORTH JAPAN.
Suffering Greater Than Experienced
In Sixty Years

Thousands are starving in north Japan on
account of the famine there, according to
advices received by the steamer Empress
of japan, which arrived at Victoria B. c.,
yesterday. A government report says MI
yaga, Fukudhimia and Iwate provinces,
with population Of 2.S21.5 are con-
fronted by the worst famine since the dead
ly one sixty years ago. So great is the ca
lamty in Miyaga that famine investigators
report that "the sentence of death has
been passed on one-third of the people of
the province" Already thousands in those
three provinces are obliged to eat shrubs
roots and bark of trees to sustain life and
100000 people are in extreme condition.
The misery arising from the famine is indie
scribable. Committees of foreign residents
have been formed TO arrange systematic re-
lief.

With symposium on the boil weevil,

council, the American Association for the
Advancement of Science completed the
ffty-fifth annual convention of the asso-

The council adopted resolutions urging
the preservation of forests in the Appala-

Of greatest interest in the south was the
symposium on the boil weevil, heard before
the joint meeting of the chronological and
geological sections.
Prof w. D. Hunter, who has charge of
the boil weevil experimental work row
being carried on by the chronological bu-
reau OF the government, read a treatise
showing that the weevil was to be feared
more at this time than ever before, al
though the pest had done but little damage
during the past year.
There is no way to successfully combat
the pest except by the culture meth ID; that
Is. by raising early varieties of cotton

could have created greater stir in New

or Alexander, McCurdy, Mccall and others
smirched by the insurance investigation
coming in quick succession, It was regarded
as significant that Depew has suddenly de-

the management of the great financial and
Industrial concerns with which he has so
long been identified. albeit he has decided to

contain nothing but alcohol and water
with little coloring matter. These
should be honestly labeled, and if the
purchaser wants to buy let him do so
with his eyes open. The average all

drugs, and is apt to buy upon the
representation of a seductive adver-

SOME REAL NOVELTIES.
The Twin City Amusement Parks G.
A. r. Week Attractions.

The Twin City Amusement Parks G.
A. r. Week Attractions.
Those who visit during the G. A. R.
national encampment and want to see
something worth the while can find it
at Wonderland, the big Twin City
amusement park, which has over fifty
amusement features in its "ten acres
of fun for ten cents"
Aside from shooting the chutes,
riding on a scenic railway, taking the
third degree, ETC., there are some real
novelties. One of these is the infant
incubator institute, where by means
of an artificial mother the lives of
fully eighty-five per cent of immature
ly born babies that otherwise must die
are saved. Some of these babies
weigh but two pounds when received,
and are nursed to full development
and health.
Then there is the Johnstown Flood,
a realistic reproduction in miniature
of that awful disaster, which has been
a leading feature at several world s
fairs. The Knabenshue air ship gives
daily flights at the park, and the
great centrifugal cycle sensation,
'Globin the Globe is another
special attraction
