The Murder OF Mrs, Kinnan.

New York, June IL In digging
deep into the history and private affairs
Of Mrs. Alice Kinuan, the young woman
who was murdered in the doorway OF
her Bronx home, the police have un-
earthed some facts that promise Interest d.
ing developments. 1t has been declar-
ed that the relations between the murder
ed woman and her aged mother, Mrs.
Stanton, who lived in the old mansion,
with her, we're not cordial at all times
The most bitter quarre recently was
due to disagreement between mother
and daughter over fee of $26, 900
charged by Burton w. Gibson, lawyer
for Mrs Stanton, for legal services. The
differences between the lawyer and Mfs
stanton were patched up, but Mrs. Kin
nan refused 10 be recOuQlled Ia Il law
yer, aud today it IL asserted that she
VAS determined to force Mr. Gibson to
restore part Of his fee to the estate.
The police admit that Mrs. Stanton =
extreme age, nearly 80 years, was all
that stood between her and actual arrest.
they have taken complete charge OF the
old Stanton mansion and are firm in
their conviction that she knowg more
about the killing of her daughter than
she has thas far disclosed. The police
are now agreed that whatever was the
motive for the murder, that the assassin
was known at the Stanton house.

THE EASTERN STATE HOSPITAL.

. The Eastern Stale Hospital investiga-
ton is drawing to close. The COM
miltee announced Yesterday that 1t had
called its last witness, and DR.. Fo'tep
the superintendent, who is in the nCsi-
ton of a man on trial, WAS called to the
stand to testify in his own behalf. 1t Is
thought that the committee will adjourn
on Wednesday evening, after having
been in actual session for 81 days, at an
expense To the State of something like
81, 900. The official repor. will not be
written until the stenographer has been
given ample time in which to translate
the record.
Yesterdays session began with the
testimony of J. l.. Glenn, an attendant,
who had been discharged for drunkenness
who asserted that his dismissal was due
to the fact that he had not voted the
straight democratic ticket. On cross.ex-
animation, he stated that he had been
twice discharged for drunkenness and
once suspended for the same cause. he
named number of attendants who, he
said, we're drunkards.
DR.. Foster was pD. on the stand I'M
mediately after me dinner hour. DIR.
Williams, he said, had several lines
use the burning by caustic treatment
with his knowledge and consent. He
said that the treatment was favored 10y
the best medical authorities. He read
paper showing the improvement that
had been made at the asylum since he
has been superintendent. He stated
that he had time and again asked for
needed improvements at the hands OF
the legislature and had been refused.
81 and the superintendents of the
other white hospitals" he said, "have
gone before the legislature and SAID that
it was a crying shame and blot on Vir-
ginia that the negro insane Jared better
than the white" He resented bitterly
the statements that have been made that
the patients do not receive an abundance
of food.
DR.. Foster acknowledged that he had
not paid daily visits to the various wards
OF the institution, and said that he did
not intend to do so, "a it was physical
impossibility with his other arduous
duties. lie said that the committed that
drafted the rules had not intended that
such daily visits should be made. Tie
said that he had insisted upon this when
the rules were adopted. "Mr. Gloves

Reign of Terror in Warsaw.

Warsaw, Poland, June l2.-The prev
alence of disorders and the activity o.
the rev0lutionaries are well illustrat ed
in the report of the Warsaw Ambulance
Society for the last six months, which
has been made public. According to
this report, $50 persons were killed or
wounded during the period mentioned
by bombs, fire arms or daggers in War
saw. OF these victims of violence 1903
were killed inst ntly and l0l died in
various hospitals to which they were
taken after being hurt. Oflhe killed 81
were women. In addition to this great
number of murders 10 committed sui
eide, being driven to the deed by their
distress or nervous exhaustion due to the
strain under which they had lived for
months The greater number Of these
oUtragcs are credited to terrOrisis, and the
fact that policemen and detectives COM
prise the greater number of victims
would seem to prove that the murders
can be safely laid at the door of some
organization which has for its purpose
the overthrOwing of law and order. In
some instances r0bber gangs were the
aggrcssors in the murders, the victims
being persons who had tried to resist
the thugs and were shot down. As the
result of the depredalions of terrOrists
aud robbers reign of terror practically
exists. Policeman and gsndarmes dare
not try to quell the marauders for fear
of being killed, and the higher authori-
ties are too lazy and corrupt to make
any effort to protect the lives and prop
erty of the citizens, so that there is no
guarantee of safety.

dismissal of the midshipmen was the
only punishment possible, although their
offences had been but technicel hssing.
He said the present bill would not
permit the restoration 10 the academy OF
