 Mrs Crefiield and I talked over the matter of killing George. The one that had the best chance was to do it. Mrs Cref1eld bought the gun. We were at the room about 4 o'clock this afternoon and thought would have a better chance to do 1t than Mrs Creffield as my brother wanted to see me, and believed that he would think nothing about my going to the depot. Then Mrs Creffleld gave me the gun and I was to do 1t. We agreed that 1t must be done as soon as pos sible. My brother Fred was up to my room to-day and said that Perry and George were going to Portland this evening. went to the depot and saw Perry get his ticket. At last I saw George and I shook hands with him. He and Perry were walking in front and Fred and were walking behind. I was walking to the door and George was in front of me. That was the chance wanted and shot him. My brother Fred grabbed me and l sat down on his lap and put my arms about his neck. sat there and the officer came. I intended to follow him to Portland if I did not get chance at him here. 1 am not sorry did the shooting; 1 am glad of it"
 Later Mrs Creffield, widow. of the Prophet" was arrested as an &C., complice. She frankly admitted that she entered into compact to slay Mitchell.

POLE HIT
 THE AMMONIA PIPE Lives of Two Hundred Passengers On a Brighton Beach Train Were
 Endangered SEVERAL WERE PROS7RATED
A Panic Followed -Motorman and Engineer Were Knocked Out
 By the Fumes.

New York, July 13.-By the burst ing of an ammonia pipe which was struck by trolley pole of Brighton Beach train passing under the foot bridge connecting the Consumers brewery with the Consumers hotel in Flatbush early to-day, the lives of 200 passengers were imperiled, and when several were prostrated by the fumes panic followed. By good for tune contact with the liquid itself was avoided by the men and women, wno ran when they smelled the con- stantly growing odor. The motorman. James McCartland, was unconscious for half an hour through inhaling the fumes, and the engineer of the brewery, Paul Kirschke, was over come when he tried to stop the flow. The Brighton Beach ''L' leaves the structure for run along the fiat before it comes to the irregular plot of ground between Franklin and Washington avenues, where stands the brewery, separated from the ho- tel by narrow roadway, through which runs the track.
 Connecting the two buildings about fifteen feet off the ground there is a footbridge, along the. bottom of which runs heavy pipe used for forcing ammonia through to the hO- tel by the cold storage plant in the brewery.
 There is full pressure kept on this pipe at this time of the year, and when the trolley pole of the first of five car train slipped of its wire and struck the clay pipes 1t broke and a heavy stream gushed forth.
 As the trolley was of the wire. the cars came to a stop in darkness. At first, unable to understand the cause of the delay, the passengers. smelling the powerful fumes. leaped from their seats, and covering their faces as best they could. jumped from the platforms or clambered from the windows in their flight. -- Unable to pull the trolley into place, McCartland armed himself with a lamp and found that the pole was lodged in the break of the pipe. Kirschke was sent for and while he was working on the leak McCartland toppled over, to be followed by the engineer.
 Physicians attended several women who were suffering from mysteries.

Chicago, July 13.-The National Billposters' association at its meet ing held here yesterday decided to eliminate devils in all forms from advertising matter distributed by the association. The principal reason giv- enN for the action taken was that such pictures Suggest evil" H. e. Sanders of Pittsburg made the only objection, saying that his interest lay entirely in his desire to oppose the sacrifice of so large a fund of artistic material as that made available by pictures of his satanic majesty.
 Charles Bernard of Chicago, sec retary-elect of the association, speak ing in psychological vein, dwelt upon the power of suggestion in the minds of youths.

DREYFUs NOW ON TOP
His Friends May Insist on Repeating Certain Laws in Order to Get at
 His RCcuseTs
MAY RETURN TO ARMY SOON

Paris, July 13.-This was the closing day of parliament, and it was largely devoted to the rehabilitation 'of Alfred Dreyfus, so that the na- tional holiday tomorrow may wit ness his return to the army and the official effacement of the stain placed upon his good name. The chamber of deputies met at g in the morning for the purpose of hastening the par liamentary procedure and War Min ister Etienne immediately presented two government bills, one raising Captain Dreyfus to the rank of major of artillery and the other promoting Colonel Picquart to that of brigadier- general. M. Etienne asked for speedy action, adding that it was the governments intention to inscribe Dreyfus's name on the list of candi- dates for the cross of the Legion of Honor. This announcement brought out storm of applause. The bills were referred to the army committee which at once went into session, ap- proved them and drafted strong, fa- soiduiC ICpOIlS, WHltH VIII Ue ue- bated later. It is expected that both bills will become law before the close of the day.
 The radical supporters of Dreyfus are seeking to force the government to prosecute the many generals, col onels and high functionaries respon- sible for his condemnation. The ann nesty law protects them, but move ment is on foot to repeal this law for the purpose of reaching Generals Mercier and Gonse, Colonel Du Paty de Clam and others who were promi- nent In the prosecution of Dreyfus.
 The government newspapers de- clare that the affair is closed, but others, notably the Figaro and Echo de Paris. assert that fierce reprisals are about to begin. The Figaro, however, appeals to those who were prominent in obtaining revision of Dreyfus's trial not to attempt to ob- tain vengeance.
 The Eclair asserts that the acquit- tai of Dreyfus means that politicians have seized the judiciary.
 The prevailing tone of the press testifles to the scrupulous integrity of the court and halls its decision as a triumph of justice.

WOMAN FOUND DEAD MAN IS MISSING Two Young People Who Got Off a Train t Biz Moose snd Then Went
 Boating AND MARKS OF VIOLENCE
Found on the Person of the Woman -River is Being Dragged
 For Companion.

Utica, N. Y., July 13.-Wednesday forenoon a young and respectable looking couple left the south-bound train at Big Moose in the Adiron- dacks and going to the Glenmore hotel registered as Carl Grahm of Albany and Grace Brown of Otselio. The woman carried small hand bag on the outside of which was strapped tennis racket. They re- mained in the hotel about five min utes and after stating that they had just stopped over one train, Grahm and his companion went to the boat landing. procured light wood boat and went out upon the lake. They did not return and yesterday morn ing the boat was found bottom side up near Camp Craig. Late yesterday afternoon the body of the young wo- man was taken from the lake near where the boat was found. Those who saw the body say that there were several marks and abrasions on the head and, as there are no rocks in the lake at that point suspicion was at once aroused that the girl had been murdered. The dragging of the lake was resumed this morning, but Grahm's body was not discov- cred during the forenoon, although his hat was picked up on the surface of the lake.
 There is nothing on the young wo- man by which she may be identified, md the coroner has directed that the body be conveyed to Frankfort.
 Grace Brown is the daughter of a farmer residing near Otseiio in Che mango county. For the last three years she has been working in skirt factory at Cortland and four weeks ago she went to her home to spend her vacation. Last Monday she started to return to Cortland and left De Ruyter in company with Mir Root and a man who is. not known. Her father says that he has heard his daughter speak of Mir Grahm. but that he does not know him. The girls father has no idea of the iden- tity of Qrahm, but he is satisfied from tlie destfittibn which has pssn sent him of the body found that 1t Is that of his daughter. The lake was not rough in the least and the bay where the body was found was as smooth as a mill pond.

ANSWERS THE CHARGES.
Japanese Replies to Those Who Claim
 There is Discrimination.

Washington, July 13.-Complaints which have been made recently against the supposed discrimination on the part of the Japanese military authorities in Manchuria in favor of Japanese subjects in allowing them trade advantages denied to mer- chants from other countries were an- swered to-day in a statement by Counsellor Miyaoka, now in charge of the Japanese embassy here.
 We are anxious to learn of speci- fic cases of such unfair play" declar- ed MT Miyaoka. "A good deal was heard recently about the irredeem- able war notes with which the Japa- nese army had flooded the country, making trade difficult for the for eigners, but when the matter was investigated it was found that these notes were above par. That some of the ports have not been opened soon- CT Is because, as at Dalny, the em- barkation of troops was continuing. It is a fair privilege for the army to perform these military operations un- hafnpered by the presence of ordi- nary trade obstacles. But whenever a town, such as Mukden. was opened to civilian merchants at all, 1t was opened on equal footing to the whole world, The Japanese provision mse- chants who have followed the army haye.not been licensed to trade with the native population.
 "The trade of Manchuria Is prize worth possessing, however. and the Japanese merchants are certain to do their best to capture 1t. They have too many natural advantages to need any unfair favors from the govern ment. The lower cost of production and the lower charge for transporta- tion from the home markets would be sufficient advantage. In addition the Japanese merchants have a bet ter knowledge of the needs and the ways of the people with whom they trade. They do not establish theni- selves in treaty ports in residences and maintain manner of living wholly above that of their custom CTS, but they push out into the coun- try on foot without ostentation, urg- ing their wares in every possible way. The same tremendous activity Is go- ing on in southern China. The Japa- nese people have heavy war debt to pay, they must prosper commer- cially in order to pay it.
 "In this commercial rivalry with all corners, nevertheless. the imperial Japanese government cannot and will not interfere to the detriment of the policies of the open door in which we are at one with the United States. No exclusive privileges can be grant, ed to Japanese trade without under mining the principles of the open door. No such privileges have been or will be granted. Japan is unalter- ably committed to the group of na- tions opposing such exclusive priyi- leges. It is possible that in the course of time a zallverein may be negoti- ated between Japan and Korea. At present Japan goods enter the coun- try under the Korean tariff on the same terms with all other goods"

WANT HACK ORDINANCE.
Some of Those Interested arc Agi-
 tating the Subject Again.

There has been much talk of late in this city about framing a hack ordinance. but whether the board of safety will recommend such a mat ter to the board of aldermen in the near future remains to be seen. About once a year in this city squabble be- tween some one Of the cabbies and a prominent citizen occurs and then the question of a hack ordinance looms up once more. If an ordinance is passed the hackmen say that there will be a fat rate of so cents a head for every trip inside the city. The smallest job will cost half a dollar. while one which takes much more time will be the same price, if one's destination is within the city line. At the present time 1t is 25 cents a person for trips made within the city up to g o'clock at night Some of the haekmen seem to be in favor of the ordinance. but one of the biggest dealers claims that no ordinance should be passed unIes sthe hzckmen had something to do with framing fs

Rockefeller Trunk Contained Pari'
 sian Enery. but No Money.

Greenwich. July 13.-A trunk be- longing to Mrs William c. Rocke- feiler was taken from the Greenwich depot Wednesday night. evidently by tramps. They broke 1t open and gazed upon Paris gowns and other fine ap- parel. But 1t was money they sought, and not finding any. they spurned the Parisian confections.
 Detectives learned to-day that the night agents assistant. just hired. took. the trunk from a late night train, and 1t being too heavy for him to lift. he left 1t on the station plat form. It was found next morning 300 feet from the station, with an Iron bar alongside, broken. and the con- tents strewn about Mir and Mrs Rockefeller were telephoned to. hur- ried to the station. and laughingly gathering up the costly clothes. had them taken home.
