FATHER GAPON HANGED
Led for Attempting to secure q SIP
on Them.

Manchester, Eng, April 23.-The
IGuardian states that Father Gapon,
leader of the St. Petersburg
Iworkingmen, was hanged by revolu-
Zionist April 10.
In giving the particulars of the al
lleged hanging, The Guardian says
that the dealing of summary pun
Iishment to Father Gapon by the fevo-
llutionist resulted from his attempt 10
induce a friend to act as spy upon the
lrevolutionists' leader.
A proposal made by Gapon was re-
Iported to the revolutiOnists, who de-
Itermined upon his death. The friend
Ito whom he made the proposal invited
the former priest to his vile to talk
the matter over. Four revolutiOnists
who had been concealed in the house
heard the conversation, and Gapon was
told that he would be exposedas a spy.
HE replied:
81 would deny it and no one would
lbelieve the charge" At this the con-
men rushed into the room, seiz-
led Gapon and hanged him to the cell
ling of the sitting room.

San Francisco. April 24.-Coroner
William Walsh estimated that the total
number of dead will not be less than
one thousand. His reports are COM
lplete and his estimate is made up from
all the data he has been able TO collect.
Coroner Walsh said:
Bodies that the deputy coroners
have found and buried number 600. as
follows:
At Polk and Bar streets, %; III
Portsmouth Square. %: ar Washington
Square, IL; at the Six Mile House. 200,
lat Laurel Hill. %; scattered in differ
ient parts of the city, 10. No thorough
search has been made Of the district
south of Market or the Chinese quarter.
Many lives must have been lost in these
sections. South of Market street are
the cheap lodging houses and many of
these collapsed from TIE earthquake
There is little chance that half OF the
Inmates of the collapsed buildings had
opportunity to escape. This is also
true of Chinatown.
Shortly after the earthrUDke SOL
oilers and police, so | have been told,

dead will undoubtedly reach, if It does
