zied by Jealousy.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

jealousy, John Vaughan, aged thirty-six
pounced upon Elizabeth Stubel aged nine

own throat ten times in an effort to end
his own life. His body fell across the dead
form at his feet, where he was found later
by the girls father, John Stubel, a garden
er. The slayer will recover.
Failure to win the childs consent to
marry him is said to be responsible for
the brutal killing. Long and ardently
Vaughan had wooed the little child despite
the watchfulness of the father. Mature be-
yond her years, the little girl is said to have
listened to his words Of love- but always
declared that she could not marry him be-
cause Of the difference in their religious be-
liefs.

DOVER, Del, May 6.-Attorney General
Robert H. Richards, who is in personal
charge of the investigation into the death
Of little Horace Marvin, has reached the
conclusion that the child was not drowned,
as many supposed. In an interview with
a, correspondent of The Evening Star, he
said he did not care to advance a theory
before the coroner's jury renders ver-
diet
{ "Of course, have my IDEAS" be- said,
but do Tot consider 1t wise to say now
just what think"
State Detectives Gillis and Hawkins are
assisting the attorney general and Coroner
Galloway, and today they made careful
examination of the Marvin farm and con-
tiguous territory, in an effort to figure out
whether it could have been possible for
the boy to have strayed to the spot where
the body was found. and perished there.
The general impression today appeared to
be that the boy was held captive until
he died a natural death or was killed, -
as to save trouble fo- the supposed kio-
napers In the event Of the lad being found
In their possession, and the investigation
is understood to be on that line.
It Is suspected that the little fellow has
never been more than FIVE miles from his
fathers house. probably being kept in
tenement house Of negroes in the vicin-
ity, and inquiry is now. being made among
the negroes in that locality to see If any
of them can throw any light on the mys-
terry.
Many Witnessed Summoned.
attorney General Richards told the CORE
spondent that he would remain In Dover
today, and he may be here longer. He ex-
pected to attend the inquest which will
probably be held the latter part of the
week, this depending upon the analysis of
the contents of the stomach, which have
been taken to Wilmington by DR.. Albert
Robin, the bacteriologist Of that city, for
examination.
Coroner Galloway has summoned a large
number of witnesses for the inquest, includ
ing some relatives and others who have
figured in the search. 1t is expected that
they will be able to prove that the place
where the body was found was searched
thoroughly on several occasions within the
last six weeks. and II this can be proven
conclusively 1t will convince the authori-
ties that the child met death at some
other place, and that the body was taken
there.
Wanted q Ransom.
As yet, SO far as can be learned, the only
motive for kidnapping the boy was to get
a ransom, and there is a pretty general Inn
preston that II such was the motive the
kidnapers feared the state laws. and. find
ing the authorities to be closing in around
them. the only hope of saving themselves
was to get rid of the boy.
However, there are some who incline to
the belief that the little fellow perished In
the pool where the body was found shortly
after he disappeared March 4 and that the
body sank In the mud and came up Just be-

fore 1t was found. This theory is not gen.
orally accepted, however, in view of the
fact that the spot is only eighteen hundred
feet from the house and has been visited
many times, and also because the pool is
merely caused by drainage from surround
ing fields and in dry weather contains very
little water. The bottom is not Of such
consistency as would permit of body sink
ing very deeply, and 1t could hardly have
been there at all without detection.

LONDON. May cit was announced this

The outbreak in Yemen began about
twelve years ago, and may be said to have
been in progress ever since. The Turks
have repeatedly announced that the Arabs
were crushed, but the revolt has always
been renewed. In December 1904, the Turk
ish troops under Ria Pasha sustained a
serious defeat four battalions being routed,
and later the Turkish garrison at Sanaa
surrendered, the rebels capturing thirty
guns, 10000 rifles and much ammunition.

Revenues Of Hundred Million

Oil Seeks
JOHN D. AFTER SMALL TRUST
Seeking Control of Turpentine and
Resin Business of the World-Tur-
pentine Trust an Amalsamation Of
Several Smaller Concerns - This
Years Crop Short.

New York, May 31.-That John d
Rockefeller is going into the turpen-
tine and resin business is clearly APP
parent. That is to- say the STANDARD
Oil company's newest purpose is to
grasp control Of the turpentine and
resin markets of the world, which do
an annual business of S1o0,OO0,Ooo
To accomplish this Standard Oil will
have to smash or absorb the American
Naval Stores company, better known
as the "Turpentine Trust" little
fish is less rapacious than bigger one,
for the turpentine trust gets it's tur-
pentine and resin primarily from thou
sands Of small farmers IN the south.
But Mr. Rockefeller will have his own
pine forests. Huge tracts OF southern
pine forests have been bought recently,
and, with equal secrecy. Standard Oil
agents have obtained options on sew
eral hundred thousand acres Of pine
forests in Georgia, Florida, Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi. 1t will take
$25,0O0,O00 to pay for the forests bought
and to exercise options.
The turpentine trust. which may be
"amalgamated," is itself an amalga-
nation of the S. p Shotter company
and Patterson Downing company, both
Of Savannah, Ca, and the Antwerp
Naval Stores company Of Antwerp at
Belgium.
In November last, one month before
the trust was formed, both Savannah
firms and the Belgian company We're
indicted for breaches OF, the Sherman
act, and in February this year they
were fined in aggregates, $30,000,0O0
in the United States court in Savan-
nah. S. P. Shooter is chairman of the
board Of directors.
Turpentine Is the sap of the pine
tree Resin is its residue Both are
used tremendously in trades and man.
ufactures, and the effect would be far
reaching should one trust control their
price absolutely. This would be easier
for Mr.. Rockefeller to do, with his UNI
limited capital, because of the extrav-
agance with which turpentine trees in
the south have been depleted. Each
yearturpentine is growing scarcer and
farther from the center Of distribution.
It Is stated in well-fnformed trade
circles here that this years crop will
show falling off of 10 per cent in the
older portions of the pine belt, and in
the larger part of the Florida belt the
reduction will amount to from 2ONto 20
per cent.

1t is stated that Mr.. Stead is much
dissatisfied with the manners of Amer
lean men and that Henry James de-
plores the bad manners of American
women. Between these eminent. censors
it would seem,to be evident that we
have little really good manners left.
1t is quite possible that if Mr.. James
turned his expert attention to the man

equally attentive to the manners of our
women the two would sweep away ev-
