a widow who lives alone about six
miles north of Eastman, was assault

last Friday night. He told her if she
made the assault known he would kill
her and that he would be back the

bullet striking Wommock in the stom-

negro ran and Mrs. Pope continued to

the shooting came and heard the facts.
They went to Wommock's house and
found him in bed wounded. At first he
denied his guilt but later he con-
fessed. He was taken out and strung
up and his body riddled with bullets,
after which the mob quietly dispersed

Chicago, May ia meeting over
which John Alexander Dowie presided
at Zion City yesterday afternoon was
broken up by number of followers of
the opposing faction, assisted by sew.
eral outsiders, and before the crowd
dispersed free fight occurred.
Dowie was addressing the audience,
numbering about 600, and made the
statement that the overseers of the

FIRM ON QUESTION OF
AMNESTY.

St. Petersburg, May 16.-Vice Ad-
miral Kuzmich, commander of the
port, who was very unpopular with
the workmen, was assassinated here
yesterday by workmen whose May
day demonstrations he had attempted
to stop.
At about $50, according to an Of
ficer who Was at the gate of the works,
the admiral was emerging from a
small shop in the works, when work
man, who had been concealed around
the corner of the building, leaped on
Kuzmich from behind and drove a
long dagger into his back. The ad-
miral fell forward on his face, which
was badly cut by stones. and died i'm
mediately. The assassin fled into a
large building, where he was lost
among the men employed there.
The workmen of St. Petersburg
made an imposing showing in their
May day celebration. Practically ev-
cry factory, mill and shop in the city
was idle, over 100000 men joining the
demonstration.
Police Captain Torn to Pieces.
Warsaw, May 16-While Police Cap
tain Constantinoff was standing in
Marszalkowska street last evening
with two policemen and four soldiers,
a young man threw a bomb into the
group. The explosion of the bomb
literally tore Capt. Constantinoff to
pieces and severely wounded police
man and six other persons. The as
sassin tried to escape, and, firing his
revolver, wounded soldier. The 9TH
er soldiers replied with a yolley, kill
ing the assassin and two other per-
sons. The soldiers then attacked the
people who had gathered with their
bayonets and the butts of their guns,
wounding eleven persons, making a
total of four killed and nineteen
wounded.
Reply to Cars Speech.
ST. Petersburg, May 16. - After
struggling the whole day over a draft
of the reply to the speech from the
throne the members of the commits
sion of the lower house postponed the
final work of phrasing the document
until II o'clock to-day.
Shows Iron Hand.
The iron hand behind the respectful
wording of the address peeps out in
the paragraph regarding amnesty,
which contains these significant
words: There are some demands
which cannot be refused, and this is
one"
The workmen are remembered by a
reference in the address to the need
of amelioration in the conditions of
labor, while for the Poles and other
nationalities, the address, though
avoiding the word autonomy and in
sisting on the maintenance of the
bonds of the empire in full strength,
speaks for the right of each national
ity to it's own language, customs and
local Standardization.

MYSTERY OF LABOR LEADERS
FATE IS APPARENTLY
CLEARED UP.
SOME TRICKS Of THE TRADE
FORMER EMPLoYE ACCUSES
STANDARD OIL OF BRIBERY
AND CHEATING.

st. Petersburg, May 15.-The mys-
terry of the fate of Father Gapon ap-
PATIENTLY was cleared up yesterday by
the discovery of corpse which has
almost positively been identified as
that of the former priest, hanging in
the upper chamber of lonely villa in
the summer suburb of Ozerki, Finland.
The villa was rented April for the
summer and a deposit paid by man
from st. Petersburg, whose identity is
unknown to the police. After visiting
the house several times in company
with young workman he disappeared
April II, taking the key with him.
The proprietress of the villa, be-
coming alarmed at the non-appearance
of the tenant, notified the police, who
entered the house.
Hanging From Nail.
Breaking down a door they were
confronted by body in long coat
hanging from a nail, the feet touching
the floor
Decomposition of the face made pos
five Identification difficult, but the
features resembled those of Gapon and
the clothing corresponds with that
worn by the missing labor leader. AS
the usual symptoms of strangulation
were absent, it is c<ljectured that the
man was killed elsewhere and his
body brought to the villa on the night
of April 10. This would agree with
the date of the execution of Gapon
given in information of the secret po-
lice and with the death sentence of the
former priest as announced in recent
dispatches from Berlin.

in Cleveland May "a.
F. S. Hibbe of Peoria, for thirteen
years an employee of the Standard Oil
company, told the interstate commerce
commission number of tricks of the
trade" that were used by statesmen
and agents of the Standard Oil com.
pany.
The witness named five towns in I'LL
nois where he had convinced GUS
toners by trickery that the oil of the
Standard company was superior, when
as matter Of fact it was inferior.
Trickery Still Practiced.
do the agents of the Standard Oil
company still practice the tactics you
have mentioned in meeting competi-
tion?" asked Attorney Monnett.
eyes, they are doing it today" re-
piled the witness. "They pay rebates,
bride people, cut the price and substi-
tute an inferior quality of oil, and, in
fact, do anything necessary to get
business and put the competitor out of
the way"
The witness then detailed plan he
had used to make trouble and expense
for the Standard Oil company.
He would induce business man to
give him a flake" order for oil and
then show it later to agents of the
Standard Oil company, who would
give the man a cash present in order
to get him to buy oil from the Stand
ard Oil company. On cross-examina-
ton Attorney Miller asked:

games You have described, now that
you are working for an Independent
company"

the dirty things learned while in the
employ of the Standard Oil company"
replied the witness.
Mr.. Hibbs gave the names of men
whom he had bribed to give up infor-
nation of the business of the competi-
tors, and on cross-examination de-
clered "the Standard Oil company is
doing all of those things to-day"
Other witnesses told of bribing en-
ployes of railroads and manufacturing
companies, and an instance was re.
lated where a wire and nail mill in
Indiana was compelled to shut down
because grit had been placed in the oil

Breaks In Reservoirs.
San Francisco, May Is. - One Of
the causes of the destruction of the
great portion of San Francisco was re.
vealed yesterday when Mayor Schmitz
and Engineer Schusseter of the Spring
Valley Water company, accompanied
by other officials, made trip down the
peninsula to inspect the huge mains Of
the water company, which furnished
the city's water supply from Crystal
Springs and other lakes.
Several big breaks were, found in
the mains and thus was explained the
reason why the city was without sui.
ficient water supply to fight the flames.
The reservoirs Of the company were
found to be absolutely safe and most
of the connections were established.
The city is now receiving supply
of water amply sufficient for domestic
needs and fire protection in the un.
burned districts.
Yesterday was one Of unusual quiet
and beyond the arrest of Policeman w.
E. Cooney, who had secured supply
of liquor, there was virtually nothing
to disturb the Sabbath.

Murderous Ceremony.

When Neapolitan wishes to effect
the death of an enemy he takes some
object, often lemon, which he uses
to represent the heart of his victim,
and he pierces it with nails or pins.
which he fastens securely with Irvine.
With appropriate lamentations this fic-
titious heart is roasted over a slow
fire, and is placed as near to the in.
tended victim as circumstances allow,
