the pretentious home of Mrs. William
Thaw in this city. has been mortgaged
for 500, 900, according to The Pittsburg
Leader. The mortgage was made some
time ago, but the book containing the
record has been hidden and the deal
did not become public until today The
interest charged is 511 per cent and the
mortgage is held by the Fidelity Title

property and money.
Four trustees accounts under the
will of William Thaw were filed for
official audit today. They are the sec
ond triennial accounts rendered since
the Fidelity Trust company began ad-
ministering the affairs of the legate
six years ago. Harry Kendall Thaw
is shown to have been the recipient of
the second largest income Of any of
the heirs nearly $60,0O0 having been
paid to him from this source alone
This sum was exclusive of the income
which he derives from various other
requests under his fathers will The
account of Harry Thaw shows there is
due him under the direct legacy al
lowed by his father the sum of s439.-

vested by the trustees during the three
years covered by the account is $685.

Chinese steerage passengers at war with
PIP Russian steerage passengers all on
their way from VladiVostok and Shang-
hal to Mazatlan and Guaymas, the Brit
ish steamer Moral King put in here to-
day in distress. A virtual state of rnu-
tiny exists on board the vessel which
is now lying in quarantine guarded by
immigration custom officials, while
awaiting settlement of the matter
Trouble began soon after the steamer
left Shanghai between the Chinese and
lie Sun Lai. an immigration contractor,
and the steerage passengers threatened
to take the ship and run it back to
China. The dispute was quoted but
trouble broke out again when a boxer
stabbed a coolie. On Friday last one
of the Russians struck a Chinaman and
laid his head open. The 900 Chinese
then attacked the 200 Russians, and be-
fore they could be separated fourteen
persons were wounded

KANSAS DOCTORS GATHER.
One of the Doctrines That They Shall
Not Do Outside Contract Work.

Kansas City, May 8-Last night. be-
ginning the three days of the annual
meeting of the Kansas Medical society,
f1fty-two doctors assembled in the Union
club rooms, the object being a discus
sion of last years growth in the med
ical profession and the laying of plans
for the next twelve months.
This is the forty-first year of the
Kansas Medical society. At the begin
ming it was not popular and lacked en-
thusiasm as we'll as membership, but
now it has reached such efficiency from
an educational standpoint that it is
said that nearly three-fourths of the
physicians in the state of Kansas be-
long to it, or at least attend its meet
ings.
AT the meeting last night, ex-Mayor
George NJ Gray made short address
of welcome. The response was made by
DIR. F. M. Daily, of Beloit, Kan.
Only one subject was taken up in dis
cussion by the doctors last night, as the
meeting, being the first one, was to be
merely an informal reception of the
visitors. 1t was decided unanimously
that the club physician should not do
outside contract work After this the
society adjourned until o'clock D. m.
today. when the actual business of the
organization will be in order at the
School of Medicine of the University of
Kansas, Rosedale, where the doctors
will be conveyed in special street cars

SLASHED TO PIECES.
Two Women Murdered With RazOrs-
Husband of One Is Held.

New York. May S.-Mrs. Maria Vito
and her mother, Mrs. Maria Brignoli,
were literally slashed to pieces with
razors in their eastside home early to-
day. Giovanni Vito, the husband of
the younger woman, is under arrest
charged with the crime 1t is alleged
that he killed the women after a quar-
rel which followed their refusal to give
him money. Vito denies that he is
guilty, however, and stOutly maintains
that his wife and mother-in-law were
killed by two men who broke into the
house and with whom he himself had
a fierce struggle in defense of his life.
In support of his story he exhibited to
the police a cut on one of his hands
which he declares was inflicted by one
of the murderers. His story is sub
Stimulated by his three-year-old son.
The police give little credence, how
ever, as Vito and the child were the
only persons in the apartments when
the police. who had been informed
that murder was being done in the
house forced an entrance. All the doors
of the apartment had been locked.
Inside the police found Vito fully
dressed Blood was everywhere. and
on the floor midway between the bed
and a window lay the lifeless body of
Mrs. Vito. her head nearly severed.
The body was frightfully slashed, and
a broken razor was found still sticking
in one of the wounds. On the fire
escape just outside the window was
found the body of Mrs. Brignoli prac-
tically covered with wounds.
1t was Mrs. Brignoli who gave the
alarm which called the police to the
scene. Martin COsano, who occupied
the apartment adjoining that of the
Vitos, was aroused by some one tap
ping on the window He sprang out
of bed and ran to the window. There
on the fire escape stood Mrs. Brignoli
in her night dress. with blood flowing
from wounds in her neck and throat.
She tried to speak, but could not, and
as COsano threw up the window Sh
fell back and died. Cosano had
recognized her as his neighbor and his
cries brought the police TO the scene.
Under a bed in the Vito apartments
the police found a second bloody razor
and on a dressing case razor which
bore the imprints of four blood STAIN
ed fingers. Vito is q barber. He has
not worked at his trade for several
years, however, and his father-in-law
declares that in all that time he has
lived from the earnings of his wife,
who was employed in a shirt waist
factory.

TEACHERS MEMBERSHIP FEE.
Commerce Commission Declares 1t to
Be Illegal.

Chicago. May S,-The life of the National
Educational association is said to be
threatened by q decision which has been
rendered by the interstate commerce COM
mission, holding it illegal for the railroads
to collect a s. membership fee and turn the
proceeds over to the association in connec-
ton with the decision, which Commission
er E. f. Clark handed down yesterday. 1t
is stated that certain officials of the asso-
citation have been deceiving the railroads
and the committee, in order to prevent
ruling. The decision is brief and does not
go into reasons. 1t is as follows:
THE commission has expressed the opin-
ion that the former practice or custom of
carriers in turning over to your association
or to similar associations a part of the
sums collected from the purchasers Of
tickets as dues or other obligations pay
able to such association, is improper and
unlawful"
The practice referred to is that of max
ing a rate for the annual convention of
the National Educational association of
one fare plus 50, and then turning lover 50
on every ticket sold to the educational as
sociatiOn as a membership fee In this way
every one who Travelled on a ticket during
the convention of the association, whether
he ever attended the delberat ions or not.

The Hartman System Pushing
Work on Block Signals.
These Devices Are to Be Placed
ON All Lines.
THE COST IS MILLIONS.
Southern Pacific Officials to
Proceed With Task.
Other Items Of Interest to
Railway People.

OficiaIs of the Hartman system are
going forward rapidly with the work
of protecting the lines with an auto
matte block-signal system. orders
have been issued to Southern Pac1hc
officials in San Francisco to proceed
at once with the protection OF some
ESQ stations along the lines When
these orders have been carried out
others will be issued covering sections
of the system. 1t is estimated that
the total cost of the work will be from
$2O.0O0.0OO to $3O.00O,000.
w. w. Slater, chief engineer of the
Pacific division, is now engaged in the
preparation of plans for the rapid
carrying out of the orders referred to.
The lines running from San Francisco
to Ell PaSO. Texas; to Sparks, New, and
to Ashland, Oregon. Will be attended
to first. When the work on these is
completed PAPA miles of road will be
protected. 1t is expected that of this
distance 1.075 miles will be covered by
July /. The whole is to be finished
well within the limits of the present
year.
Latest orders for the care of $50
stations in addition to this 2.424 miles
will cover S77 miles more road The
orders have not been limited to the
equipment of the main line of the sys-
fem. Important branch lines will be
cared for with equal dispatch. In con-
nection with the Pacific part of the
system 536 miles of these branches
will be protected just as soon as the
work can be done. Fifty-nine miles
of the work already has been done on
these branches. and before the end of
the year. it is expected, the whole work
will have been accomplished.
This work costs from $1,000 to $15,
00o a mile. but operating officials
recognize that the expenditure is fully
justified by the greater degree of safe
ty thus insured When a line is thus
equipped it is only because of the reck-
less disregard of signals on the part
of trainmen that wrecks can occur
from collisions of any kind.
OF course. no devices that may be
supplied, however expensive they may
be- can provide against willful neglect
or criminal carelessness on the part
of engin eers or of those whose duty it
is to see that the signal system. when
once installed. is kept in thorough
working order
