RAU SENTENCED TO DEATH
Trial for Murder Of Mother-in-Law
Ends in Conviction.

Karlsruhe, Germany, July 24.-Karl
Hau, former professor Of Roman law
in George Washington university,
Washington, d. c., has been con
demned to death after a five days
trial for the murder of his wife's
mother, Frau Molitor, a wealthy resi-
dent of Baden-Baden. The sentence
was unpopular with the street crowds,
which are against the Molitor family.
The women of the Molitor party
were compelled to remain in the court
because it was dangerous to appear
in the streets. 1t was several hours
before they were able to leave. Enor-
mou crowds assembled in the streets.
Cordons Of police kept the crowds in
check for an hour, but then lost con
troll of them, the masses pushing for
ward to the doors with the evident
intention of storming the entrance.
There were many shouts from the
crowd of "Hau is not guilty." Finally
two companies OF, infantry and a
squadron of mounted police appeared
on the scene and drove the rioters
away.
An appeal against the sentence of
death to the supreme court will be
lodged with the proper authorities in
a few days. This court can only de-
eide technical questions affecting the
procedure of the recent trial. If the
decision is reversed the case will be
remanded to Karlsruhe for retrial.

From Duluth for a Week.

Duluth, July 24.-The members of
the Western Federation of Miners on
the Mesaba range are devoting their
energies to making demonstrations of
their strength and forcing the men
still at work to lay down their tools.
Bands of from 100 to 1000 or 5000
men congregate and march to the
various mining locations. One mob
headed by a brass band left Virginia
early in the morning and, marching to
the Petit mine near Sparta, forced
$50 men employed by the Republic
Iron and Steel company there to quit.
They then proceeded to the Kellogg
mine les Biwabik. owned by the New
York Steel company, and forced the
men there to abandon work.
At all the principal mining locations
crowds of men congregate and listen
to inf1ammatory speeches by the lead
ers.
The ore industry now is completely
tied up and not a ton of ore has been
shipped from Duluth for a week. The
strike on the docks at Duluth, Two
Harbors and Superior is still unset
tied. The unions, however, are offer
ing to arbitrate. They are distinct

NAL notices to be served upon the rail

JOHNSON TO INVESTIGATE.
M%lnnesota's Governor Starts for the
Iron Range.

-Eg-"t.H
st. Paul, July Ex-Governor John
son has left for Duluth and the Iron
Range to investigate the miners
strike situation and the possibility of
violence. He goes there, he says, not
so much in anticipation of any vio-
leEce and the consequent need of
troops, but to see if he can be of any
aid and to offer his services if needed
in bringing about an amicable and
peaceful adjustment of the entire
strike trouble.
The determination of the governor
by a letter received from Sheriff
Bates of st. Louis county. The letter
spoke of the strike, the closing of
practically all the mines and the pos
sibility of violence by the idle miners,
To date, Sheriff Bates wrote, there
had been no violence, but in anticipa-
ton of trouble he had sworn in many
deputies. In the event of any general
trouble he gave it as his opinion tina.
he would be unable to cope with the
situation and when it came the state
troops would be needed.
Should there be a call for troops
Duluth has two companies of the Third
regiment which can be assembled in
an hour. In the Twin Cities there are
nine companies. Altogether there are
1000 men who could be modified at
any point in the state within twenty
four hours.
