ATERRORIST'SACT.
KILLED THE PREFEcT OF POLICE

nave not succeeded in Identifying the
terrorist who shot and killed Mai.
Gen. Won Der Launitz, prefect of DO
lice of st. Petersburg, at the Institute
of Experimental. Medicine Thursday
afternoon, and who coolly turned his
revolver against himself while he was
falling under the sabres of the pre-.
fects escort. The authorship of this
crime. however, like the recent assas-
sinatfon of Count Ignatieff and the un.
successful attempt to blow up Premier
Stolypin with bomb, has been traced
to the fighting organization of the so.
cial revolutionists.
The organization last night issued
the customary proclamation avowing
and justifying the killing of Won Der
Launitz, which was accomplished with
an ease that has struck terror into the
hearts of all other officials on the
revolutionary death list.
The man who committed the crime
was about 22 years old, and apparent
ly belonged to the intelligent working
class. The police say he was Jew.
He was provided with card of admis-
sion to the dedication, but this card
bore no name. The authorities have
not been able to learn how he obtain

which was extremely select, only 150
invitations having been issued
Prince Peter Alexandrovitch, Duke
or Oldenburg, is patron of the insti.
tute. Among the guests present were
his wife, the youngest sister of En-.
peror Nicholas, and a number of other
persons prominent at court.
The fall of Won Der Launitz was
followed by a scene of indescribable
confusion. The Duke of Oldenburg,
who was one of the few men who re-
tanned their composure, seized the as
sassin's hand after he had fired twice
and several succeeding shots were dis
charged into the ceiling But before
the duke could disarm him one of the
officers who accompanied the prefect
drew his sabre and struck the assassin
a powerful blow which completely cut

was falling he shot himself in the
stomach with the last bullet in his re-
volver. His death was instantaneous,
but several officers continued to hack
at his PROSTATE body until the Duke
of Oldenburg struck up their swords

serves, at any rate, to draw public at

characteristics of an interesting tribe,
but to the infrequency with which our
red-skinned wards figure in the days

formance as this of the Utes would
have passed all but unnoticed.
The Ute, or Utah Indians, form a di-
vision of the Shoshonean family, for
merly occupying the region which ex-
tends from the Salt Lake basin in
Utah eastward to the highest ridges
OF the Colorado Rockies.

however, when John c. Fremont made
his first pathfinding expedition across
the Rockies. they had been reduced
through constant warfare with the
Cheyennes and the Comanches to
something like $4,000 persons. More
nghting, amalgamation with neighbor-
ing tribes, and disease continued to
deplete their numbers fearfully In
1881 they numbered but 1000, and in
1901, when the last enumeration was
attempted, there were scarcely more
than $500 of them.
The Utes have never been known
either for their docllity or their tract
ability and whenever they have come
into close proximity to the palefaces
there has been trouble.
The Ute Nation consists of Is direct
tribes, but for many years it has been
divided into three greater divisions.
OF these the Southern Utes have re-
tained their residence in Colorado.
while the branches known as the
White River Utes and their kinsmen,
the Uncompahgres, have lived since
1880 on the Uintah reservation in
Utah. The very interesting customs
and laws of the Utes, however, are
common to all three divisions. There
is a certain appropriateness in their
living in Utah from the fact that sig
nificant domestic practice of the peo-
pie is polygamy. Time was when it
to-day, but that was when warfare
kept the number of braves down, and
the women outnumbered the men by

Injured Number 55.

Topeka. Kan.-Thirty-fi persons,
all Mexicans but three, were
killed, 80 persons were injured and
bodies of 80 Mexicans were inciner-
ated early Wednesday in head-on
collision of two passenger trains of
the Rock Island railroad near Volland.
All the killed were in the south
bound train except tramp who was
on the baggage car of the northbound
train. This tramp, a negro porter and
workman accompanying a gang of 32
Mexican laborers were the only Amer
leans killed so far as known, although
a passenger says that a woman and a
child were burned in a tourist car
There were go Mexicans and five
Americans, composing a gang of rail-
road workers, in the smoking car OF
the southbound train. OF these, 80
Mexicans were burned in the wreck
age and two died later
Most of the injuries were due to the
setting of the emergency brakes Most
every passenger in the southbound
train was thrown to the floor by the
quick setting of the brakes The north
bound train was running ten miles an
hour up grade. The Mexicans were
pinioned under the seats and the
doors were jammed so they could not
get out. In the chair car many passen-
gers were held down by the seats.
The train caught fire from the gas
tanks, which were broken. The pas
sengers in the rear coaches escaped
in night clothes and dressed beside
the track. Then came the cries for
help among the Mexicans in the smok-
ing car and the people pinned fast in
the chair car. Every man and nearly
every woman on the train tried to
rescue the unfortunates, but the
flames soon became too hot to permit
of approaching the car.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR UTAH
Items in Sundry Civil Bill to Com

dents request for on extra appropria-
ton Of $500, 900 for special agents to
investigate public land entries. and
merely inserted in the sundry civil bill
the regular appropriation of $3.50. 900. In
view of the fact that the president
greatly modified his order regarding the
examination of entries, there is less
necessity for an increased appropria-
ton. but the committee determined to
hold down this item. 1t is very doubt
full if the senate or house will increase
this appropriation.

most likely appOiptee. it being understood
that the president will waive the objec-

now satisfied that DIETRICH acted merely
as a trial lawyer and was not mixed up
in politics or dirty work in any way. Sen
ator Borah had another conference with

is here or heard from. Then, unless Hey
burn changes his mind. the Ailshic
