IS ASKED TO ABDlCATf.
korea's Emperor Is Requested to Step
Down and Out and Give the Japs
Full Sway.

Seoul.-The Korean premier has
asked the emperor of Korea to abdi-
cate because of his action in sending
a deputation TO The Hague.
The request that the. emperor abdi-
cate apparently is the beginning OF
the end of this ancient empire and the
inauguration of closer control by
Japan than that she has exercised
since the treaty of Portsmouth recog-
nized her predominant influence in
the Hermit Kingdom as one of the
fruits of her victory over Russia.
For long period Korea was under
the suzerainty of China, but in 1S94-5
Japan drove China out of the PENN
sula and Korea enjoyed a brief period
OF independence. In 1904 Japan
stepped into Korean affairs with as
surances of safety, independence and
territorial integrity, but since that
year the Japanese influence has
grown until to-day Korea faces. in
the abdication of the present emperor,
the final extinction of her claims to
recognition as an independent state,
for the installation of a nominal en-
peror, selected by the statesmen of
Japan, seems to indicate that Korea is
to come entirely under the sway of
the Japanese.

HEAT FRUSTRATED THOUSANDS.
Elks' Parade at Philadelphia Was Re-
markabe for Number of Persons
that Succumbed to Suns Rays.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The parade on
tective Order of Elks was marked
during its progress by the prostration
from heat of an army of persons, es-
timated by the police and hospital au-
thorities at $500. Never has there
been such wholesale prostrating of
people in the city. For six hours the
police, ambulance surgeons and the
Red Cross nurses were kept on the
run looking after persons who col
lapsed under the scorching rays of the
sun, and largely because of their ex-
cellent service but one case resulted
fatally. James Rowley, aged Al years,
OF this city, died in a hospital after be-
ing stricken in the street. The other
stricken persons are said to be In
good condition, with no prospects of
fatal results.
The parade ground was on Broad
street, for distance of three miles
north and the same distance south OF
the city hall. The paradeFs counter
marched the last three miles back to
the city hall, so that they traversed
upwards of nine miles, yet few Of
those overcome by the heat were in
the line of march
Those who succumbed were among
the spectators jammed along the
street in a solid mass from one end of
the line to the other.

PAID THE DEATH PENALTY.
Henry White, Negro, Is EIectricuted
in Annex of Ohio Penitentiary.

Columbus, O.-Henry White, q
negro, who kiAd Marshal Ba.
sore at Franklin, in October, 1906
while resisting arrest, was electricut-
ed in the annex at the Ohio peniten-
tiary shortly after midnight this morn.
ing. 1t was necessary to administer
three shocks. A final appeal for stay
of sentence was made Thursday by
Whites attorneys, l.. X. Landon and
w. F. Ellsworth, of Lebanon, but the
governor refused to interfere.
White formerly lived in Columbus
and in 1904 shot girl of this city who
refused to marry him. AS he was a
minor he was sent to the state re-
formatory at Mansfield for this crime
He had the reputation of being a des
perate man. After he killed Marshal
Basors at Franklin he was captured
but escaped from jail, being retaken
by the aid of bloodhounds.

Try for Factories.

Small manufacturing plants are de-
sirable factors in the business of any
town. There must be employment
for the residents of a city or town,
and any means Of supplying this need
Is commendable. But there is one
thing that many citizens do not take
into consideration, and that is, it is
better for the citizens of a town to
build up industries already establish
ed than to strive to gain new indus
tries. A manufacturing plant is ben
eficial to place in accordance with
its payroll and its output of goods
that bring revenue to the town.
Some small concerns that will en-
ploy dozen hands will have a pay
roll of perhaps $35 or $40 a day. The
value of It's products may amount to
$4,000 or $4,000 annually, all de-
pendent upon the character of the
business. But what is most consid-
cred is the payroll. From the aver
age small town it is estimated that
trade lost and which goes 20 large cit
les through the mails, is more than
500 day If citizens of a commu-
nifty would retain this 800 day and
do their trading in the home town, it
is evident that it would be twice as
beneficial as the small factory that
has payroll Of $40 or $50 daily.

BlLllK is CONVICTED.
A Chicago Fortune Teller Is Found
Guilty of Numbering a Family
by Poison.

Chicago. Billik Thursday
night was found guilty of killing
with poison Adolph Vzral and five of
his children. The jury fixed the pen
atty at death.
Vzral and his children all died with
in few weeks of each other under
suspicious circumstances. Billik had
been a friend of the family for years
and, in his capacity of fortune teller,
had administered medicine to the
children.
An investigation showed that Vzral
and his children all suffered of the
same complaint before death Billik
was arrested on suspicion of having
been responsible for the deaths. The
day after his arrest Mrs. Vzral COM
mitted suicide by taking poison.
During the trial testimony was sub
mitted by the state charging Billik
with having disposed of Vzral and his
children in order to collect the life in
surance they carried. Mrs. Vzral was
shown to have been under the influ-
ence of Billik, whom she loved, and
evidence showed that she had guilty
knowledge of the numbering of her
husband and children by Billik.

money sent from districts to the large
cities means the concentration of
wealth in these cities and greater
support for the trust builders. They
should also understand that their
farm values to great extent depend
upon the activity and Importance of
the home town. Should the farmer re-
lieve himself of the burden that is
placed upon him by the trusts and
combinations, he can do it by assist
ing to the greatest extent the build
ing up Of industries in his own town,
his county and state. The question
is worthy of the most careful consid.
Grafton of every resident of rural
district. The greatest utilization of
all home resources can only be
brought about by cooperation OF
the people. Every land owner AID
every person employed in the tilling
of the soil, should give greater study
to economic questions and discover,

In the Haywood Trial
and the End Is Near.
NO MINE OWNERS
Or PinkertOn Detectives Gave lest
imOW-Last Witness Told of
Maltreaiment by Miners.

Boise, Idaho - The state rests
content with the evidence 1t has
introduced to prove that William d.
Haywood, secretary-sreasurer OF the
Western Federation OF Miners, con-
spired to kill and therefore murdered
Frank Steunenberg. Haywood,
through his counsel, to-day will rest
his case with the jury, so far as evil
dence is concerned. Possibly some
Witnesses will be called in sur-rebut
tai, but Haywood's counsel announce
that the case may close without fur
ther evidence.
The state called only two witnesses
In rebuttal yesterday. At the last mo-
nent the prosecution decided not to
call mine owners or Pinkerton detec-
tives. AS result of this decision a
number of witnesses will not be
heard. Bulkeley Wells, formerly ad-
jutant general of Colorado, left Boise
Tuesday. He commanded the militia
during the labor troubles in 1903 and
1904, and was the man who dug up
the bomb at Judge Goddard's gate.
The last witness for the state was
William Stuart, a Scotchman. He was
a miner in the Cripple Greek region
during labor troubles and told a ter
rible story of maltreatment at the
hands of miners who had warned him
that he would have TO take the conse-
quences if he went to work as a
"scab." Stuart went to work, how
