DEATH FOR HAu.
Hears the Sentence Calm
" and Without Comment.

Karlsruh, July 23.-Karl Hau. bril-
liant young law professor of Washing
ton, d. c., was condemned to death
Monday morning, after a fve-days'
trial of the murder of his Wife's moth
er, Frau MolitOr, a wealthy resident OF
Baden Baden, in that city Nov. last.
The prisoner heard the verdict OF
the jury with perfect composure and
chatted smilingly with his counsel af-
ter the judges withdrew to fix his sem
terce. Upon the return of the judges
Hau arose and standing erect with
folded arms listened to the sentence
without moving a muscle. A moment
later he was hurried away to prison by
half a dozen policemen. <
The sentence is unpopular with the
street crowds, which have been DEM
onstrating more and more openly for
several days in Hau's favor and
against the Molitor family.
After the adjournment of the court
for an hours recess at s o'clock
the women of the Molitor party
were compelled to remain in one of the
offices of the court house because it
was dangerous for them to appear in
The streets.
Enormous crowds had assembled in
The streets adjacent to the court house
CordOns of police kept the crowds In
check for an hour or more, but then
lost control of them, the masses push
ing and crushing forward to the door
with the evident intention of storming
the entrance.
There were many shouts from the
crowd of 'IIau is not guilty." the
voices penetrating to the court room
"A large number of arrests were made
1t is rumcred that several persons
We're wounded. The demonstration in
favor of Hau appears to be due largely
to the same maudlin sentiment which
has made a hero out of many another
accused OF daring crime.
The sentencing of Hau does not end
the case, DR.. Diets. his counsel, having
in his address practically given notice
of appeal.

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Serious apprehension exists among
st. Johns. N. F., fishermen over the
prospect that the Anne rican herring
fishing vessels may go to New Found
land waters with full crews next fall
instead OF taking on men after arriv-
al there. About 800 local fishermen
were employed last season aboard the
American boats and it is estimated that
they earned total of 100000. Nom
employment this year. the fishermen
say, would be disastrous, and some of
the residents of Bay of Islands will go
to Gloucester. Mass, to join the Amer
lean vessels there.
