MURDERER OF TWO
Negro Held in Springfield for Killing
Mrs. Grant May Have Slain
Lizzie Schroeder.

Chicago, Sept 27.-The police are
investigating a report that Charles
Walton, the supposed murderer of
Mrs. Lillian w Grant. who was ar
rested Yesterday at Springfield. IL,
is responsible for the death of Lizzla
Schroeder. who was strangled to death
near Gary, Ind. some weeks ago. l.
is known that Walton was working
in Gary shortly before the murder. ana
that he left there about the time the
crime was committed.
The girl was attacked and murdered
in the woods near Gary while she was
returning to her home after taking
dinner to her father who was work
ing just outside the town.

Havana. Sept. 27.-By the order of
Governor Magoon. the negro general,
Juan Ducasse, and Generals Masso Par
ra and Luis Lara Miret were arrested
early yesterday and lodged in Jail on
the charge of sedition.
Ducasse obtained his rank in the
revolution of 1905. MassO PARA also
gained his at that time. but he deserted
to the Spanish forces and was eXecra-
ted by the Cubans. He left Cuba at
the end of the Spanish regime, but re-
turned during President Palma's adj
ministration. which denied him the
right to land. He returned here two
months ago to be received as an orator
in the ranks of the Gomez faction of
the liberal party. He is the alleged
leader of the conspiracy to start rev.
olution against the Americans in Cuba.
Miret served in the revolution of
1905. and later was an official of the
rural guards. He was in the constitu-
tional army year ago.
Ends Swashbucklers' Dreams.
Governor Magoon has been fully cog
infant of every move of these swash-
buckling agitators. AS long as they
kept within the length of rope allotted
10 them they were not disturbed, but
Parra's action in sending fake tele'
gram to American newspapers caused
an immediate roundup.

SWASHBUCKLINC CUBAN GENERALS
HAVE PLANS NIPPED BY Gov. MACOON

More arrests are likely to follow, for
Governor MagUOn knows the entire
group of malcOntents. The local news
papers all compliment Governor Ma
goon upon his action. One suggests
that an American military court mar
tial now is in order.
The prisoners have been active in
spreading the propaganda of the Gomez
faction and incidentally injecting ven
omous remarks against the Americans
in their political speeches. General
Jose Miguel Gomez, VINO is factionai
candidate for the presidency, openly
discredits anti-American sentiment, but
it is known that he secretly incites it.
Americans Behind the Plot.
Every effort was made last night to
ascertain the identity of the person
who last night sent a telegram to a
New York newspaper, as it is believed
that this knowledge will be valuable
clue towards locating the Americans
here and in New York who are inter
ested in the movement. 1t appears that
this cablegram was brought into the
cable Office by a negro, and it is beliey-
ed this man can be found.
The source whence the money for the
revolution came is being sought dill
gently by secret service officials, who
are confident that they can locate the
firm which distributed the funds in
Havana.

Charges Hartman with
Dodging Issue.
HOLDS HIM UP TO SCORN
Insists Issue Is as to Whether the
|. c. Shall Be Union Pa
cific Feeder.

New York Sept 27.-Smyvesant
Fish last evening made public a reply
to thC circular letter sent out on Tues
day last by President Harahan of the
Illinois Central in which he declares
that the charges made by Mr.. Harahan
were not new. but had been published
long ago and each one met by me and
disposed of"
But the one point at issue. to be
disposed of by the stockholders of the
Illinois Central at the coming annual
meeting. is nowhere touched upon"
says Mr.. Fish. THAT issue is this:
Shall the Illinois Central become
mere feeder and fattener of the Union
Pacific? Can any such perversion of
the purposes and opportunities of the
Illinois Central he profitable to the
stockholders? Will Illinois Central
stockholders submit TO having all of
their voice and power in the manage
ment and control of their property dele
gared to one man. under the power of
attorney plan which Mr.. Hartman has
so adroitly used to his own profit?"
Interest Attaches to Excuses.
Mr. Fish then quotes from the by.
laws of the Union Pacific to show how
this could be done. and continues:
"A certain interest does. however.
attach to some of the specious excuses
now put out by Mr.. Hartman and his
financial associates for my having been
ousted; and there also is interest at
taching TO the reasons why it has been
necessary to change and modify these
excuses so often. The circular of Sept.
"a, which is fathered by Mr.. Harahan,
shows on its face that it emanates
| from Mr. Hartman in that it contains
| precisely the same allegations that he
had injected into his testimony before

Mr.. Fish here quotes the reply to
these charges, which was widely pub
lished at the time, and says:
But the reason given last February
by Mr.. Hartman for having turned
me out of the presidency of the Hi
nois Central was by no means the only
one which he had given. At the last
meeting of the stockholders of the Hi
nois Central Railroad company, held OF
Oct II, 1906, Mr.. Hartman and his
