KILLS HIS BRIDE

Civil War Veteran Believed
to Be PerpetTatOr of
Double Tragedy.

General Syck was found dead II the

connected with some OF the most prom

The double tragedy is supposed to
have followed a bitter quarrel Of the
previous day. General Syck and his
bride had Just returned from their hon
eymoon trip through the South.
The murdered woman was General
Syck's third wife His first wife died
many years ago and his second wife
divorced him ten years ago.
It is thought that General Syck's mind
became unbalanced during the quarrel
with his bride as he was desperately in
love with her and insanely jeoIous.

Commissioner West this morning held
a conference Ttth the representatives
OF the various sightseeing automobile
concerns, with. a view TO prOmulgating
regulations governing the use OF the
streets by these machines.
Corporation Counsel E.. H. Thomas
has drawn up tentative regulations
which will re submitted to the repre-

suggestions as they may offer. 1t is
proposed to prohibit the automobiles
stopping at any place but their bona fde
Offices, except to take on passengers and
allow them TO alight at certain hotels,
railroad stations, and wharves, thus
preventing the undue congregation OF
the machines at street corners.
The attorneys present at the confer

TAUfS AMERICA
WITH COURSE OF
SECRETARY HAY
State Department Here
Refuses to Discuss
Any Phases of
Trouble.
J. Del. PAUL,
Venezuelan Secretary of State.

Venezuela, under the leadership
Of the aggressive Castro, is again at
odds with the United States.
So far has the friction gone as the
result of a demand by the United
States for a revision of the award
by the Mixed Commission of 1903 in
the case of the Orinoco Steamship
Company, that some tart corre-
spondence has passed between VIII
liam w. Russell, the United States
minister to Venezuela, and DR.. Jose
de J. Paul, the Venezuelan minister
for foreign affairs.
Although the State Department main
tains strict silence IN regard to this
diplomatic quarrel, The Times is in a
poS.don to say that Mr.. Russell notified
Dr. Paul, In an official communication
under date Of September 20. 1907, that the
acceptance by the United States Of 80. -
771.10 bolivars on September 16 did not
bind the United States not TO ask for a
revision Of the award.
To this DR.. Paul replied that til
would be no revision OF the award.
At Odds Over Two Cases.
In his letter to DR.. Paul, Minister
Russell said:
In accepting this first installment OF
the awards of the Mixed Commission of
1903 my Government instructs me to
say that 1t insists upon a revision of the
award in the case of the Orinoco Steam
ship Company. and that pending final
settlement of this oueSfiOn no partfO,
of any moneys which may be paid by
Venezuela will be considered as paid on
account of or application to that award.
LAS to the case of the Orinoco Com
pany Otd.), however, my Government
does not share the view of the govern
ment OF Venezuela that the acceptance
Of the sum awarded in this case is in
consistent with the position of the
United States as set forth in my memo
randum of March 30. and my notes OF
July and August 13.''

duties at Washington in 1883 and says
he was intrusled with the task Of get

newspapers. To accomplish this, he as
ssrts, that he concealed his connection

as special correspondent for the North
German Gazette, and became as "chum-
