KNIGHTS NOT REspoNsrBLE.

New Haven. Conn. Dec. 2a.--'It is not anything that the national body had done" said Edward L. Hearu. Su- preme Knieh of the Knights Of Co., lumhus today. when shown the dis patch from Montreal to the effect that the order had decided to hoy colt all French manufacturing frms and agreed not to buy any goods imported from France, on account of tn stand taken by that government against the Roman Catholic Church.
 MT. Hearn said that if any actior of that nature had been taken it was probably. by a local lodge or 10. al lodges in Canada and that such ae- tien might possibly come before the Board of Directors of the order. which meets next month for discussion.

London. Dec. 24:--James Bryce. 1t would appear. has declined a peerage; but at any rate, according to The Daily Telegraph, he will go to the United States as British ambassador without changing his name and thus be the first plain citizen to represep: his country at Washington, and. says The Chronicle. Americans who know and honor him as James Bryce. will esteem him all the more because he has declined a title"
 The finding of successor for MT, Bryce as chief secretary for Ireland Is giving Sir Henry Campbell-Blnner- man considerable trouble, judging from the many possible candidates named.

STRANGE IMPULSE
PROMPTS MURDER
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept pa strange
story Of murder prompted by an affec-
been revived near Brewster, N. Y,
through the confession of Jennie Burch
an Indian nurse girl, who is but IA
years old, says a dispatch to the World
II appears that a series of incendiary
fires have occurred at CoWles Corners,
twelve miles from Brewster, and sus-
picion fell on the Indian girl, Jennie
Burch.
She repelled the suspicion vigorously.
Last Friday the girls infant charge,
Wilbur Winship. 214 years old, was
suddenly stricken with illness and soon
died. Investigation developed that the
child had been given a poisoned peach.
The nurse girl was suspected, but the
crime seemed inexplicable, as the girl
was known to be deeply attached to the
child. Sunday. just before the child's
burial the crime was explained. The
girl was brought into the room where
the body of the little one lay. When
she saw the child she threw herself on
the coffin and cried:
II killed him! | poisoned him.
Later, when she grew calmer, she
admitted that, acting under an uncon-
trollable impulse she had set a num-
ber of ncendiary fires. She knew she
was suspected. and thinking she would
have to die for the crime, she poisoned
the hoy, whom she loved, so that he
might go with her.

LONG BEACH, Sent A.-J. r.,
Burk, a Colorado man who is spend
ing a few days at the beach, had a
narrow escape from serious injury and
possible drowning last evening when
after going to sleep on the iuttine
promontory at Devils Gate, he rolled
off and fell into the water fifteen feet
below
The tide was not so low at the time
that Burk was in any danger of drown
ing but, falling while half asleep. he
was unable to collect his thoughts
quickly and was carried out several
feet, slipping not little of the salty
water.
A Mexican, who said his name was
Gavinas and that he lived northwest
of town, happened to be walking along
the cliff. He saw the mining mans
predicament and realizing that help
was needed ran down the hill, plunged
into the water and dragged the Colo
radoan ashore.
Burk's head was painfully hurt by
the fall, but he is thought to have
been not seriously injured.
II laid down on the promontory to
rest" said Burk, land, thinking I
might fool some passersby and cause
them to become alarmed for my safety,

the white foam stealing up on the
beach below and | recolect that it

MISSOURI RIVER
OPEN TO TRAFFIC
STEAMER L0RA ASCENDS TO
KANSAS CITY
After Lapse Of Decade Stream Is
Now Declared to Be Naviaable.
Reduced Freight Rates
Expected
BY Associated Press.


KANSAS CITY Sept. 24-With the
blowing of whistles, the changing of
bells and the glad acclaim of thou
sands of persons who had gathered at
the river shore, the renewal of steam
boat traffic on the Missouri river after
a lapse of more than a decade was
celebrated today when the steamer
Lora, laden with freight from ST.
Louis, docked at the wharf in this
city.
Every local craft of any pretenson
went for miles down the river to act
as an escort for the Lora, and the ap-
pearance of the fleet. with the freighter
in the lead, was the signal for one of
the most genuine outbursts of en-
thusiasm ever occasioned by any event
in the commercial life of the city.
The successful trip of the Lora un-
der the most unfaVorable circum-
stances, the river being exceedingly
low and its channel unexplored for
several years, proved conclusively that
the Missouri is a navigable stream.
The movement to inaugurate a boat
line on the Missouri river originated
in this city four months ago and grew
out of the fight of Kansas City mer-
chants for reduced freight rates.

Expected That Democratic Convention

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press. .
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. A.-Arrange-
ments for the Democratic state con-
vention which is to be called to order in
convention hall tomorrow at noon went
forward rapidly today. The big audi
torium seats 5000 persons.
On the eve of the convention the vari-
Gus candidates who are on the scene
and the representatives of those who
are not here marshalled their forces
about them and prepared for what is
expected to be the liveliest and most
interesting convention the Democratic
party has ever held in this state.
The party leaders were still trying to
fathom the strength of William r.
Hearst, in whose behalf a strong cam
paign organization is working. They
are also endeavoring to secure de-
claration from Charles f. Murphy, the
leader of Tammany hall, whose caucus
is expected to be held either immedi-
ately prior to the first session of the
convention or just following it.
Mr.. Murphy was called upon at his
headquarters tonight by party of
seven delegates from as many counties
in the state, who were headed by John
A Dix of Washington county and who
spoke in behalf of Mr. Dix as their
choice for governor. He Is a relative
of the late Governor John A. Dix
T.
the most positive statement of his con-
dition and that of Tammany hall that
he has uttered in public since his ar
rival here
"Tammany is not pledged to any can
didate whatsoever" he said, "and I
want that understood. We are here to
find out who the up state people want
and whoever they decide upon is going
to be good enough for us: no matter
rI,,tl, tr
anybody else, Tammany will follow
not lead"
Added significance was attached to
this remark by the fact that it was ut
tered by Mr.. Murphy, who has been in
an all afternoon conference with num-
Der of prominent men representing the
various factions of the party
The campaign of Congressman Sulzer
of New York is also picturesque in a
lavish display.
District Attorney Jerome was closeted
in his apartments nearly all day and
Mayor Mcclellan. who is active in ad-
Vocating the district attorney for the
nomination, conferred
busily with the delegates.
1t was announced tonight that Sena-
tor Grady will offer in the committee on
resolutions resolution indorsing Mr.
Bryan as the presidential nominee in
I9OS. Inls action VIII be taken by Sena-
tor Grady, it is said, at the request of
the commercial travellers and trust
league which rendered the reception to
Mr.. Bryan upon his recent return from
New York from his trip around the
world.
Mr.. Sullivan, national committeeman,
said today that he might remain
through the convention as the guest of
National Committeeman Norman E.
Mack, though he had intended to return
to Chicago today.
