KING rs IN NEW YORK.
AMERICAN CLAIMANT FOR SER.
WAN THRONE APPEARS.
Scion of House of Dusan, Alleged
Rfghtfu1 Heir to Crown, Is Dis
covered-Says Eddy Wealth Il
Overestimated.

Servians of New York City and New
Jersey are authority for the statement
that a truly sworn and authenticated
king of Servia, rightful heir TO the
throne now occupied by King Peter Kara
georgeyitch, is living near New York and
is awaiting the favorable moment to go
to Servia and claim his own. This is
King Stephen Dusanovic, scion of the
house of Dusan, which has been in exist
ence since the twelfth century. Other
claimants TO the Servian throne have APP
peared in America since the assassination
of King Alexander in 1908. Servians,
members of the Greek orthodox st. Mich
olas cathedral congregation, say King
Stephen has taken oaths in New York
within the last three months as ruler of
Servia and that his claims to the throne
have been reviewed and sanctioned by &C.
clesiastical authority of Servia. There
are in New York City copies of the docu-
ments upon which the rutative king of
Servia bases his claim of kingship. 1t
is said among the Servians there that so
far has the propaganda of King Stephen
advanced that this government and all
the governments of Europe have been no
titled of the step he has taken and have
had their official attention called to the
fact that King Stephen Dusanovic is the
only lawful ruler of Servia. Those who
have faith in Stephen declare that he is
not depending upon assassination or
bloody revolution TO gain the throne. He
is simply awaiting the time when a
change in the temper of the people who
are now under Peters rule will force
that monarch to leave. Then he will go
to Servia and place himself at the head
of the people,

shonts Favors Profit sharing.

At the dinner of the Iowa Society of
New York, Theodore p. Shonts, speaking
as the new director Of the New York
transit system, committed himself to the
principle of profit sharing with the people.
He said his first purpose would be to de-
wise ways and means. even of tempo
rary character, to relieve the aggrava-
lions of the existing congestion; after
that he would prepare plans looking into
the future, and comprehensive enough to
provide adequate facilities for the next
fifty years of the city's growth. His idea
was that the people and the sharehold-
ers should be partners in the benefit to be
derived from the execution of such plan.
He had not yet decided whether this shar-
ing of profits would be in the way of
fixed rentals taxation. or percentage of
the profit. His belief was that the public
cared more for reliable, safe and adequate
transportation than for mere reduction of

been urged to enter several of the larg-
est law firms in the country, but about
this he would not talk There is also
a well defined report in Washington
that he would be rendered a place on
the United States Supreme bench by
President Roosevelt. Justice Harlan
has for some time contemplated retir-
ing.
AS it evidently is Senator Spooner's
purpose in retiring from public life to
rehabilitate his fortune his friends
say that he would not accept a place
on the Supreme Bench. They say his
commanding position in national af-
fairs and his high reputation as law
yer of the first rank assure him most
profitable practice by which he could
earn many times the salary of $4,000
which the Supreme justices receive.
Mr.. Spooner was first elected Sena-

was again elected. and in 1908 was re-

whether the woman was insane before the
tragedy.
According to the attorney retained by
Mcdonald, the line of defense will depend
upon Mrs. McDonald's version of the
case The woman, he says, may have no
recollection of the shooting and have been
insane at the time, or she may have been

coUNTRY's HIGH DEATH RATE.
Census Bureau shows Half Million
Deaths by Disease In 1905.


Deaths by Disease In 1905.
More than 100000 persons in the
United States were offered up in 1905 as
sacrifice to disease Startling as this
death rate may seem, it vas less than
that for the preceding year, but was in
excess of the number of deaths registered
for any other year. This death rate is
lower than that of Ireland, Germany and
Italy for the same period, but higher than
that of England and Wales, Scotland
and the Netherlands.
The death rate from nephritis and
Bright's disease, apoplexy, cancer. dia-
betes and appendicitis is increasing, while
that from old age, bronchitis commissions,
peritonitis and scarlet fever are ,decreas-
ing. The greatest death rate recorded for
any one disease in 1905 was that from
pulmonary tuberculosis. amounting to 56,
40, while pneumonia follows closely
with death rate of 39.06S. exclusive Of
Cancer shows a
steadily growing death rate, the figures
being "a, $50.
A report has been issued by the census
bureau giving the statistics of mortality
for 1905, together with revised figures for
the years 1901 to 1904, inclusive. for the
registration area of the United States.
The ten registration States comprising
this area are Connecticut, Indiana,
Maine Massachusetts,, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and Vermont. The popula-
ton Of the entire area in 1900 was 3d.
765,61S, representing 40.5 per cent of
the total popula ton of continental United
States. Of this number 19,960,742 per-
sons. or 26.9 per cent Of the total popu-
1ation. We're in registration States and
10,S04S76 persons, or 14.2 per cent, were
in registration cities in non-registration
States.
The total number of deaths reported
from the various kinds of diseases in
1905 aggregated $40, 533, and those for
the preceding year amounted to sol ,354.
On a percentage basis the death rate was
in 1905, 1872 in each thousand of popula-

JOE LETTER is FOUND GUILTY.
Mine Disaster Due t. Unlicensed
Examiner, Jury Claims.

disaster Due
Examiner, Jury Claims.
Joseph Letter of Chicago, operator of
the famous Zeigler colliery, the scene of
numerous labor conflicts during the last
two years, was found guilty in the Frank
lin County Court at Benton, ILL.,, of VIC
lating the State mining laws and will be
fined from $500 to $500. Mr.. Letter was
found guilty of employing mine exam
liner who did not hold a certificate issued
by the State mining board at the time
of the explosion in April of 1908, in
which sixty men lost their lives either
outright or by being asphyxiated in res
cuing others. The prosecution based its
fight principally on that point, arguing
that the examiners ignorance of mine
laws was in a measure responsible for the
disaster. While the verdict of the jury
was no surprise to those directly connect
ed with the trial. it was a sore disap-
pointment generally to the citizens of
Franklin county, who had expected that
Letter would be acquitted of the charge
Letter has done much toward the develop
ment of the Franklin county coal fields
and is held in the highest esteem by the
people of the county, who had hoped that
he would win the case. The verdict is
thought to have been in the nature of a
compromise. The case will be resumed
March IL, at which time Mr.. Letter will
be tried on the various other counts on
which he has been indicted. Both sides
will prepare for bitter contest.

WOMAN AND CHILD DIE.
Housekeeper Suspected of Murder
and Suicide.

When Emil Koeppen, widower, re-
turned to his home in Woodland, near st.
Louis, the other morning, he found Miss
Selma Geiersbach, his housekeeper, and
his son Frank aged 10 years, dead from
poison, and his sons Bentley, aged g. and
Robert, aged 6, unconscious in the same
bedroom on the second floor of the house.
The smaller boys are not expected to re-
cover. The physicians said opium appar-
emily had been administered. The house
keeper told neighbors Mr.. Koeppen had
notified her he intended to discharge her
and expressed regret that she was to be
separated from the children, for whom
she professed n strong attachment. One
theory is that the housekeeper, unwilling
to leave the children, poisoned them and
herself. Those who do not hold to this
theory are mysti6ed. A bottle labeled
with the name of patent medicine was
found in the bedroom. This medicine is
manufactured in st. Louis. It's manufac-
turer says it would require more than
two bottles of it to affect any one seri-
ously. A peculiar fact was the discovery
of lamp burning in window. Koeppen
had told the nurse to put light in the
window where he could see it from his
place of employment. as a signal if any
thing went wrong The indications are
that the S-year-old boy put the light in
the window.
