CRIMINAL STILL AT LARGE.
Believed Berlin Man Who Stabbed
Girls Is an Epileptic.

BERLIN, July 27.-The criminal who yes
terday stabbed five little girls on the streets
of this city is still at large.
The theory that finds the greatest favor
among medical meE Is that the man Is an
epileptic who probably has recovered his
normal condition and Is now without any
recollection of what he did yesterday-that
hts attitude toward these dreadful acts Is
that of a complete stranger. He will next
be heard of when in another seizure he
kills another child.
lie newspapers publish warnings to par
ents, and not only in the Immediate neigh
borhood Of the attacks of yesterday. but In
almost all sections OF this city children
today are being kept indoors. After a con-
ference of the heads of the police depart
r1ent held this morning all policemen,
whether they were on duty last night or
not. were at once ordered out on patrol
duty. Some Of them are In uniform, while
others are in plain clothes. Between 1000
and 5000 guardians of the peace are thus
doing patrol service.
Five or six men were arrested during the
night. but were released this morning.
The police have been supplied with many
so-called clues 10 the criminal, but not one
has proved genuine or Helped to locate
him.

increases Asked for Subordinates.
Salaries, Pay Of Jurors and Many
Other Things.

In the annual estimates for the appro-
priattons needed for the Police Court dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30. 1873,
which were prepared by the two Police
Court Judges and were transmitted 10 the
Board OF Commissioners this morning,
these two officials have asked to have their
salaries Jumped from 5000 to $4,000 a year
and the salaries of number of other en-
ployes of the court increased as we'll.
A total appropriation of s,,ovi5 is asked
for. which sum is $15.915 more than was
granted the Police Court for the present
fiscal year. OF this total appropriation.
SOL 900 is intended for salaries and the re-
mainder for miscellaneous expenses.
In presenting these estimates to the
Commissioners and in asking for the in
creased salaries for the judges the latter
say: THE salary of the judges of the
Police Court has not been increased since
the court was organized in 1870. since
which time the salaries of the judges in all
the courts of the District OF Columbia
have been twice increased and are now
double what they were at the time the
Police Court was established. The charac-
ter of the services demanded of them re-
quires not only lawyers Of ability, but men
Of general information. When the fact is
considered that the cost of living has dou-
bled and that the work of the judges or the
Police Court has increased six foid the IN,
crease asked for is less than equity and

This same Increase for the two Police
Court Judges was asked for last year
when the estimates were being prepared.

Increase of $500 per annum Is asked for
the salary of f. A. Sebring, deputy clerk
who receives 81 500. 1t is the intention of
the judges to increase Mr.. Sebring's pay
to 1880 and change the title of his po-

Is bonded official. and his pay is made
quate when his many responsibilities and
the impo rtance Of his work are considered.
An extra additional deputy clerk. VINO
shall be a competent stenographer and type

Pritchard to pursue in the event of clash
would be to lodge his orders with the North
Carolina marshals and deputy marshals
and await the results of their report.
Should they declare themselves confronted
by superior physical force in the persons
of North Carolina officials. the next step
of Judge Pritchard would be to ask for
additional marshals.
1t Is practically certain that Judge
Pritchard viii take no forward step of an
excitabie nature until Mr.. Sanford has had
fun time to report to Attorney General
Ronaparte, and the latter to confer with
President Roosevelt. This would defer any
thing like a physical clash of the two
courts until near the m. ddie Of next week.
In the meantime. though, there are hopes
that an amiCable agreement may be reach
ed to the issues to be submitted to the
higher courts of the United States.

INQUIRY PRACTICALLY over
INVESTIGATION OF CHARGES
FILED AGAINST COL. TUCKER.
Impression Prevails in Military Circles
That Assertions Have Not Been
Sustained by Proof.

The investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against Col. VIM. F. Tucker OF the
pay department of the army by his wife,
the daughter of Mrs. John A. Logan. has
been practically compiled and the record
will be forwarded to Secretary Taft, at
Murray bay. for action. The case has been
thoroughly investigated by officers of the
inspector generals department. and their
inquiries covered field extending from the
Philippines to the Pacific coast and then
to Chicago. where Col. Tucker is now sta
toned. Although the result has not been
officially stated, the impression prevails in
military circles that nothing developed
by the investigation to justify the institu-
ton of court-martial proceedings against
the officer
There Is no on now on duty the War
department authorized to act in the mat
ter. and the disposition of the case rests
with Secretary Taft. 1t Is fully expected
That he Will act on the case in a few days.
There is a decided Discrimination at the
war Department to interfere in the domes-
tic affairs of an officer of the army unless
1t 81 absolutely necessary, and some officials
express the opinion that Mrs. Tucker
should seek the redress she desires in the
civil courts rather than through a military
tribunal

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Charlotte, N. c., Shocked by Murder
and Suicide.

and Suicide.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTE. N. c.. July 27.-This city
was shocked early this morning on account
Of double tragedy of the most ghastly
nature Harry Talley. boy who works at
the store of Mr.. Harry T. Powers, went
this morning to open up and, finding the
doors locked went to the bed room window
of his employer. to gaze upon a horrible
spectacle The body Of Powers was found
lying in a pool OF blood. in a semi-conscious
condition while within few inches of him
lay his wife, Mrs. Margaret Powers, for
merly of Chattanooga, Tenn. with a bullet
hole through her head. which evidently had
caused her death eight or ten hours before.
The wound Of Powers was directly be-
hind his right and was caused by the
same weapon that ended his wife's life.
1t Is the general opinion that Powers
killed his wife during a drunken quarrel and
later regaining consciousness attempted
suicide. There Is some talk, however, of
foul play and of third party. On the
floor near the bodies was found half-emp-
tied bottle of whisky and another nearly
emptied. Powers is in hospital now and
his death Is expected at any moment. The
police were first Informed that the store
had been burglarized and the occupants
killed. but an investigation leads to the be-
lief that this theory is unfounded Great
crowds Of people rushed for the cars to
visit the scene. Powers conducted a store
here and was we'll known in the city.

Finally Convicted at Bialystok.

BIALYSTOK. Russia. July 2I.-The dis
trct court today handed down sentences in
the cases of the men placed on trial for
completely In the anti-Jewish attacks here
during the month of June. 1905. The trial
of these individuals has been postponed
many times. The court sentenced a man
named Demyanovitch to eight years hard
labor in the mines. and four other men were
given life terms of Imprisonment.
Demyanovitch was the leader Of the gang
which attacked party of Jews who had
taken refuge in the railroad station out
side the town. killing and seriously wound
ing six and mutilating many more. Wit
nesses examined by the court established
the fact that Demyanovitch mad murdered
several Jews with his own hand, beating
out their brains against a rock.
Certain government officials whose COM
plicity in the organization of the attacks
on the Jews was abundantly attested our

GREAT CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Sir William Ramsay Accomplishes
Transmutation Of Copper.

LONDON July 27.-Sir William Ramsay.
the distinguished chemist. has promised to
communicate In writing in the near flu
ture to the chemical society the results of
his researches into radium enanations. In
this connection the announcement is made
that he has succeeded In degrading copper
10 the first member of its family-that Is,
ithium.
The Lancet today says the discovery
marks an epoch in the history Of chemical
science and believes 1t is realization of
the transmutaton OF metals.
The announcement Is likely to reawaken
the discussion OF the transmutation of ele-
ments which ragged a year or so ago. when
several prominent scientists repudiated the
transmutatIon idea. while others just as
strongly supported 1t.
Sir William Ramsay himself modestly dis
claims ability to transmute elements, but
he believes that the result OF his degrade
tion of copper will be of farreaching i'm
portance.
