ASSASSIN CUT DOWN
Succeeds in Killing Prefeet Of Police
at ST. Petersburg Before Giving Up
His Own Life-Attempt Made to
Kill President Of Reactionary League
Of Russian People.

st. Petersburg, Jan. s-Major Cen
eral Won Der Launitz, prefect Of police
at st. Petersburg, was shot and killed
by young man at the Institute of Ex-
perimentai Medicine this afternoon.
Won der Launitz at the invitation of
Prince Peter Alexandervoitch, duke of
Oldenburg, brother -in-law of the en-
peror was attending the conservation
of the institute in the chapel. During
several high officials, the prefect of po-
lice was approached from behind by
the young man, who drew a revolver
and shot him in the base of the brain.
Won der Launitz died in two minutes.
AS the assassin turned to flee, one of
the officers present drew his sabre and
cut him down, killing him. The iden-
tity of the assassin has not been es-
tablished.
The assassination of the prefect of
police was preceded by an attempt to
kill DIR. Dubrovin, president of the re-
dictionary league of Russian people. A
revolutionist attacked him on the
street, while he was returning home
last night, firing several shots at him
without effect Gendarmes, on duty at
the Tsarskos- railroad station last
night arrested a suspect who was dis
guised in police uniform. The prison
er is thought to be a member of the or
ganization which is responsible for the
assassinations of General Alexis Ig-
nateieff and Prefect Won der Launitz,
and it is believed he was going to
Tsarskos- -Selo on a similar errand.

heart is In this case, and he has pro-
found conviction that Busse should
never have been convicted OF murder
in the first degree. 7 elieves tnat
the evidence was such only sec
ond degree conviction : uld possibly
be made. His zeal II : case arises
from this conviction, such is his
feeling in the matters t he believes
the state will be dis ed by the le-.
gal execution Of Bus.ss AS for outside
influence and the ,ure of public
opinion, this is a guide to the
governor. for the res. that nearly all
who have had anyt to do with the
case have become Intensely interested
and have taken sides upon it. 1t is not
expected the governor will decide un-
til very near the day fixed for the
hanging.
1t Is an interesting fact that dur
ing the year 1906 the total number OF
acquisitions issued by the governor OF
Iowa on governors of other states for
the return to Iowa of persons accused
of crime was sixty-three, while the
acquisitions honored were only thirty
five. 1t is pointed out that this means
that Iowa is not a very popular state
for the fleeing criminals, and the fur
ther fact that criminals who are foot
loose are much tempted to leave Iowa
in haste. This is part Of the work Of
the office of the chief executive about
which the public knows practically
nothing. Many OF these requisition
cases require judicial determination
Of many matters, and hearings hold
over for several days. 1t is also the
source Of most of the expense attached
to the contingent fund Of the governor,
for the state is expected to pay the
cost Of returning accused persons to
the state to stand trial, and all such
expense is out of the contingent fund.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Jan. 3-John A. Tuttle,
proprietor of barber shop and Turk
ish bath parlors. has disappeared from
this city, forsaking his wife and four
children for another woman, who is
said to have accompanied him. Altho
he leaves an Indebtedness of nearly
$500, there is no shortage in his books.
The first intimation Of his disappear
ance was received by his wife, who
soon after his departure received a
note from him.
st am leaving the city," was the
simple announcement Of the note, aside
from few directions concerning his
business.
Investigation at the West hotel re-
yealed that the barber shop is in a
most prosperous condition, that Tuttle
was personally making a net profit OF
5000 a month. Despite this he allowed
payments on mortgage on the fixtures
to become overdue, and notes about
town were allowed to lapse. 1t is be-
lieved he took with him quite a large
sum of money.

ARMY NEEDS RECRUITS

cruits Qualified for Military Service
Lack Of canteen Said to Be One
Cause of Many RefusaIs.

Washington. Jan. 3.-Not in recent
years. except in war times, has the
army been SO badly in need of men as
at present. A recent circular address
ed to all the officers of the recruiting
service, made public at the war de-
partment, calls attention to the fac:
that recruits are needed in large num-
bers for the coast artillery. field artil-
lery, white infantry and white cavalry
Recruiting officers are enjoined to re-
double their efforts to secure recruits
qualified for military service and it is
declared at the war department that
the present prosperity and labor fam
inc of the country are more or less re-
sponsible for the inability to get new
men, and it is also stated that on ac-
count OF the canteen, a great many
men are refusing to re-enlist.

Colonel Bacon Says President Had No

and Gives in Detail, Provisions Of the

" r.
der S. Bacon, of the counsel for the
Afro~American council, in the case OF
the dismissal by President Roosevelt
Of the battalion Of negro troops for the
Brownsville affair, made public his
opinion yesterday. His report will be
sent to Senator Foraker and members
of the senate and house committee on
military affairs.
The Presidents Power Limited.
After reviewing the evidence pre-
sented in the presidents message, Ba-
con declares the negro soldiers dis
charge without honor" was illegal and
would not be upheld by the courts II
brought before them under writ OF GER
tiorari. Bacon contends that the idea
prevalent that the president, as COM
mander -in- -chief of the army, can In
fiict punishment within his discretion.
is q, mistaken one, because under the
English and American constitutions, no
person Except minors, prisoners, etc.),
can be punished in time Of peace. ex-
cept by Judgment of the court. The
presidents dismissal of the negro sol-
diers, he says, was intended to be a
punishment and was punishment. The
president he AYERS may arbitrarily dis
miss any enlisted man if he dislikes the
color Of that mans hair, but the presi-
dent has no right to libel him by say
ing that such dismissal is without
honor" nor can he infiict the added
punishment of debarring such dismiss
ed enlisted man from civil employment
under the government.

journed after session Of fifteen min
utes. No quorum was present and no
committees were ready to report.

nomination OF Brigadier General ].
Franklin Bell. to be major general.
roraker's resolution providing for
inquiry by the senate into the dis
charge Of negro troops of the Twenty
iarth infantry on account of the
Brownsville, Texas, episode, was laid
before the senate. Culberson made an
address on the subject. He defended
President Roosevelt's action in the
matter and said that there was dis
tinction between discharge without
honor and "dishonorable discharge .
In the former case the president could
exercise his discretion. as he had done
in this instance, while dishonorable
discharge could only be made as a re-
suit Of the court martial. He instanced
several cases to sustain his position.
Disclaiming any partisanship for the
president, Culberson created wave of
merriment by saying:
have nothing to do with, the pres
ident in this matter. / care nothing
about him. MY personal relations with
him are about as cordial as those Of
the senator from Ohio (Foraker).
III all fairness, Culberson said. the
country ought to know the report made
to the president was reliable. He read
much evidence in this report to sustain
his contention that the soldiers and
not civilians had been responsible for
the shooting, remarking that the sena
tors might go to their luncheon If they
did not want to hear it.
The senate finally agreed to postpone
further action on Foraker's negro
troops resolution until Monday.

ner in his statement opposing the cleo
ton of Arthur Hill because OF ru-
NOR that he had used improper means

assembled in joint session and heard
