BRYCE NOT TO LEAVE
FOREIGN OFFICE DENIES HIS
RUMoRED RECALL.

LONDON, December 1.-THE Associated
Press is officially informed that the rumor
to the effect that James Bryce. the Brit
ish ambassador to the United States, is to
leave the Washington embassy is abso-
lutely untrue
A prominent official of the foreign Office
characterized the rumor as ridiculous. and
he said also:
"Mr. Bryce's recall never has been dis
cussed. and mush less has the appoint
ment of successor been talked of. Mr..
Bryce has not even applied for leave of
absence. This he would have to do be-
fore coming home, if only for the holi-
days.
1t was pointed out to the correspondent
that in the ordinary course of events Mr..
Bryce would retire some time next year
that an extension of the age limit very
possibly might be made in this instance,
as had been done in the case of other
British ambassadors.
The papers tonight print emphatic de-
malls of the retirement rumors. 1t is
pointed out that the ambassador will
reach the age limit next year, and while
it is possible that the time might be ex-
tended, yet this action is rarely taken by
the British government. 1t is also an
nounced that he has not applied for leave
of absence. This is quite true, but there
is no reason to alter the statement re-
garding the matter in these dispatches a
week ago. Public discussion of the report
may possibly cause some change in the
plan then suggested, but up to the present
there has been no modification.

He died on the way to a hospital in this

The shooting occurred at Robinson, a
small village in Arundel county, eighteen
miles from this city. Mrs. Hall Is said
to have acted in fury OF jealousy re-
sulting from having seen her husband In
the company of another woman.
Hearing what she thought the footsteps
of her husband approaching their home
she threw up the window sash and fired,
the light back of her being too weak to en-
able her to see that her victim was Wal
ton and not her husband. Mrs. Hall then
barricaded herself in her house, and at a
late hour had not been placed under sr.
rest.

Mystery of Undertaker's Murder
Still Unsolved.

ORANGE. N. j.. December 14.-Mystery
still surrounds the death of Frederick R.
Romer. the undertaken whose battered
body was found in his room at the Park
Hotel. Romer's death has presented
many difficulties to those who are trying
to solve the mystery and many theories
have been advanced concerning the mo-
tive of the crime. A clue which may
lead to the solution of the affair was
given by the hotel detective. who stated
that recently Romer appeared to be much
detected upon the receipt of a letter and
that he exclaimed that it was a terrible
thing to be accused of something that
one had not done. The detectives be-
lieve that the writer of the letter may
have accused Romer and then sought
revenge by killing him.

SpeclaI CabIegram 70 The Star.
LONDON, December 14.-According to
unanimous English opinion the kaiser
reached greater heights of telnerity and
courage than ever before penetrated when
he bought the empress a collection of
hats on, the eve of his departure from
London. He insisted that all should be
large and that there should be ostrich
feathers in each of them, but he sternly
drew the line at osprey plumes. which
was a delicate compliment to Queen Alex
andra, whose crusade against the cruelty
involved in procuring this article of
adornment has willingly banished os-
preys from English society.

ORCHARD IN MISERY
MERCILESSLY GRILLED IN THE
PETTIBoNE TRIAL.

BOISE, Idaho, December 14-A dramatic
scene started today's proceedings in the
trial Of George A. Pettibone for compile
ity in the murder OF former Gov. Steunen-
burg Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel
for the defense, closed his cross-exam-
ination of Harry Orchard before the ad-
journment this afternoon by hideousfy
picturing each of the crimes to which the
witness had confessed, and after each he
asked:
"You did that, did you not?"
Orchard, with misery written in every
feature Of his downcast face, to each
question answered:
"Yes, sir, did"
Stuck to His Story.
Throughout the cross-examination Dar-
row referred to the testimony at the Hay
wood trial and endeavored to show con-
Trajectory statements, but Orchard held
his own in each instance. Once Darrow
was forced to admit that he was mistaken
In regard to the former testimony Of the
witness. Darrow touched lightly on the
Incidents leading to Orchards confession,
merely showing that Detective McPar-
land had told him the Bible stories of st.
Paul and of King David who had been
murderers, and kelly the butt" of the
Molly Maguires, to whom was given lib
erty because he gave evidence for the
state.
The story of Orchards conversion and
religious profession was not brought out
by either the state or the defense. The
only indication of it was when Darrow
asked the witness If Mcfarland had not
told him that st. Paul and David after
committing murder had become men of
power for good.

Desperate but Futile Attempt To In

volvc Il Great Order.
The unearthing of desperate at
tempt, which happily failed, to involve
a great order such as the Modern

controversy affords evidence of the ex-
tent to which a clique, moved absO-
mtely by unreasoning partisan bias

While this preposterous undertaking
was in the interests of the republican
ticket, ii is but fair to state ii was not
with Mr.. Schaffer'S knowledge or an
probation. II was. as matter of fact,
given quietus by him.
1t would indeed, be a pretty come
to pass, if, because a man of James

seems the more inconsistent when it 5

The Modern WOodmen society is not
a political organization, but because q
citizen is employed by an organization
that fact does not bar him from parJiCi-
patton in any political movement that
is not strictly republican. Mr.. McNa-
mara has not used his standing in the
WOOdmen order as bid for votes. He
is running for mayor as Il citizen Of
