ASSASSIN STAYS
AMERICAN CONSUL
United States Representative at
Batoum, Russia, Is Mys-
teriously Killed.

Batoum, May 21.-William H. Stuart,
the American vice consul at this place,
was shot and killed at his country home
last night. The assassin escaped. He
is not known and no motive can be
ascribed for the murder.
MI. Stuart was a British subject and
one OF the largest ship brokers and ex-
porters of Batoum. During the revo-
%lutionary troubles of last fall, his life
was many times threatened. by long
shoremen, and at Christmas a deputa-
ton visited Mr.. Stuart s office and
practically compelled him to give them
$1,000 under the guise Of a holiday
gratuity for dock laborers.
Washington, May 2I.-Vice Consul
Stuart who was killed at Batoum, was
an Englishman, 40 years old, and had
filed the position for about two years.
At the time Of his death he was acting
consul.
Ambassador Meyer having taken cog
n~izance Of the case, the state depart
ment officials do not believe that it re-
quires action at their hands at this mo-
ment. 1t is not doubted that the Rus
sian government will make every effort
to capture the assassins and mete out
full punishment to them, and it is con
sequently felt to be we'll to allow them
to proceed in that direction without
further pressure.
