NCE..N0TED BUT
NOW ALMOST
DESTITUTE
Ella Fuller Dixon Noted Vocal
ist III and in Want in
New Jersey.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, March 31.-Mrs. Ella
Fuller Dixon, who is related to Chief
Jutice Fuller of the United States
supreme court, and descendant of
Thomas Fuller, who founded the family
IN America in 1888, Is i'll and destitute
at her home in Bergen county, New
Jersey. Next week the mortgage on
her little home falls due and unless
relatives or friends come to her rescue
she will be left without shelter or
means to buy food!
Mrs. Dixon under the name of Ida
Livingstone made her debut In 1873
as an actress in the Academy Of Music
In this city. Her greatest distinction
was as a vocalist. Thirty-five years
ago the range of her voice was four
Octaves. Concealed behind a curtain
she could deceive an audience of critics
when she sang ''Larboard Watch" into
the ef.that 1t came from the throat
{ of a robust male bass. Before she was
thirty Mrs. Dixon had travelled five
times around the world.
In 1877 she organized an English
opera troupe and took the COM
pany to the West Indies, A dis
honest manager robbed her. of every
dollar In Kingston, Jamaica. She went
from door to door selling here own
musical compositions and giving music
lessons, and was prospecting, when she
sustained a triple fracture of the col
lar-bone. Yellow fever broke out and
the American consul sent her to Cedar
Keys on a schooner, but the disease
attacked her before the vessel had been
long under way. She recovered, how
ever, returned to the United States,
and three or four years contributed
to magazines and wrote books. She
was indefatigable in her work, but as
the years went on became more and
more reduced in circumstances, until
the little mortgaged house on the
Spring Valley road was all she had
left.
Mrs. Fuller's father was a prominent
builder of locks and dams in the early
days of Wisconsin. One of her uncles
attained prominence as an artist and
in his early days he was the first mid
shipman in the Texas navy before
Texas came into the Union.

MUIR DERERs MAY
Be LOCATED IN
THE EAST

Associated Press to The Evening .rImes.
Minneapolis, March 31.-Inquiry in
connection with the murder of the six
Macedonians has been transferred
from Minneapolis to the east. It is
now regarded as certain that the mur-
derers have escaped eastward and will
try to flee the country through some
eastern port: The Minneapolis police
believe that the officers at Fostoria,
Ohio. were decaived by the suspects
held there yesterday and have sent
out requests to the police of points
further east, asking that they be
again intercepted. 1t was learned to-
day that a Minneapolis employment
agent on Tuesday morning sent a
party of five Macedonians to Chicago
and 1t Is believed the Ohio suspects
were of the party. The description OF
one of the men in this lot tallies with
that of one of the two men held for q
time in St. Paul on Tuesday.

vINCES HIM THAT RECIPROCITY WILL NOT BE
CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME PRESERVATION
OF NIAGARA FALLS WILL BE TAKEN UP BY
UNITED STATES AND CANADA

Associated Press to The Evening Times
Washington, March S1.-Convinced
that the reciprocity treaties with Great
Britain for the establishment of closer
trade relations between the United
States and Canada are out of the ques-
ton at this time, Secretary Root has
determined to abandon the tariff ques-
ton for the present and is busying
himself with other matters of vital
interest to this country and Canada, in
the hope of settling the points of diff
ference. These differences babe fair
to be settled by the joint high COM
mittee when the Klondike gold strike
caused the negotiations to be broken
off suddenly and engendered feeling
OF hostility which did not. subside until
the mixed tribunal fixed the boundary
between British and American mineral
lands.

score of mooted questions were under
consideration when the Alaskan bound.
