Japan should enter into an agree

was made voluntarily and with no
suggestion Of compulslon. Therefore.
It would be like a man who is about
to enter into a fight deliberately be-
ginning by tying his own hands be-
hind his back. 1t seems absurd to
doubt the good faith of this an
nouncement, which has been solemn
ly and formally made to the whole
world.

absorption of China, after the same
fashion employed to take in Man.
churia and Korea, Acting Secretary
of State Adee today consented to
talk about the situation.
''The only thing" said Mr.. Adee,
that L can say in reply to these
reports is TO call attention to the
treaty which has just been made be-
tween Japan and Russia, and whose
text has just been made public. This
treaty is In two sections. The first
section is an agreement that China
shall not be controlled or dominated
by any outside power, and the sec
ond section is an agreement that
China shall be maintained territorial
ly and administratively as at present.
"The second section also provides
that both Japan and China shall CO.

WOMAN TWICE ARREST
Ed FOR DEATH OF
HUSBAND
He Was Supposed to Have
Killed Himself a
Year Ago.
HER FATHER ALSO
UNDER SUSPICION

Aurora, Mo, Aug, 23.-Mrs. An
ma Hibbard of Mountain View, How
ell county, has been placed under
arrest charged with the murder Of
her husband, the crime having been
committed, so it is alleged, August
16, 1906. This is the second time
that Mrs. Hibbard has been placed
under arrest for the crime.
Crawford HIbbard was killed by
shotgun in his own home. He was
found lying on the floor of his home
and near the body was a gun with
one barrel empty. At first 1t was
supposed to be a case of suicide, but
a little investigation developed con-
ditions and circumstances that led
the officers TO believe a crime had
been committed. Mrs. Hibbard was
charged with the crime, and at the
last term of the circuit court when
1t appeared that all things were
ready for the trial, the prosecuting
attorney entered a nolle PROSE- in
the case, and the prisoner was dis
charged.

WEALTHY CONTRACTOR
MURDERED BY
FRIENDS?
Chicago Man Was Probably
Killed by Former Pc.
iitiCdl Allies.
BODY FOUND STRIPPED
IN BASEMENT STAIRS

Chicago. August 23.-The body of
Evander Mclver, a wealthy contract
or, was found in a stairway leading
to a basement at the corner Of 25th
and State streets today with marks
of violence on the body. All the mon
ey and valuables had been taken
from the clothing and 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that McIver was murder
ed and thrown down the stairway.
Murdered by Former Friends?
The police have obtained a clue,
through a man who saw McIver walk
ing along in another part of the city
late last night and who says that the
contractor was accosted by two men
with whom he entered a cab. The
driver of the cab is now beins sought,
his identity having been established
and the police expect to prove that
the murdered contractor was killed
in the cab in a dispute over some
matter, by men whom he supposed
tC be his friends. The robbery of the
body, officers say, was done for the
purpose of throwing the police off the
track and not by men who needed
the money.
NcIVer had figured in many promi-
nent contracts in this city and he
was also considerably interested in
politics. The police believe to this
latter interest may be ascribed the
quarrel which led up to his death.

Again Arrested

Meanwhile Mrs. Hibbard had
brought a damage suit against sew
eral persons in the vicinity of Noun
tain View for SANDER by accusing
her Of her husbands murder. In the
case against Samuel Harris Mrs
Hibbard secured a judgment of $500
and the case is now in the supreme
court for final hearing.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Hibbard
was a second time placed under ar
rest charged with the crime, and
with 1t was a warrant against her
father, j. II. Vaughan. charging him
with being an accessory to the murd-
er The preliminary hearing will be
had August 26 before Justice Hoov-
er
The prosecuting attorney said that
at the time he dismissed the case he
did not intend to abandon it, but
that by dismissing 1t he could bring
it under a new law passed at the
last session Of the legislature. Since
the case was in court before II is as
serted that new evidence has been
found.

Mr.. Lyons, but none SO great as the
