BURTON ART TREASURES
TO COME TO AMERICA
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct 17.-It is learned here
that Thomas Agnew & Sons, art dealers
of London. are me buyers of the famous
Burton collection of paintings which are
about to be disposed of in England. The
price the firm paid was $3,0O0,O00 Some
of the finest pictures are to come to this
country.
Stevenson Scott of the firm of Scott &
Fowles of this city is closely connected
with the Agnews and saw the collection
in England long ago, and he thinks that
a Murrillo in it will probably be brought
to New York. This painting he considers
one of the most valuable by that great
master in the world. Two of the ten
Rembrandts may be sent here, each be-
ing valued at $2OO.O One is a portrait
of Rembrant by himself and the other is
a portrait of brother artist. Cornelius

which will probably be brought here are

Six Of Tentative Jury Secured--Heney
introduces Politics in Examining

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO Oct.- 17.-Today, the
first day of the second bribery trial of
former Attorney General TREY L. Ford,
chief counsel of the United Railroads,
compassed the examination of sixteen
veniremen, of whom six were accepted
subject to peremptory challenge and ten
were dismissed. mostly for declarations
of bias. These six retained their places
in the box:
Harry A. Berg, cigar dealer; John R..
Jenken, jeweler; Arthur Brown, archi-
tcct Martin F. Cosgriff, merchant; Hen
ry Liebert, commission merchant; VIII
liam Lane restaurateur.
Though the day was without sensn-
tions, it. was not devoid of incident.
Chiefly notable among the questions
asked by Assistant District Attorney
Heney, who conducted the examinations
for the people, was a query as to wether
the venireman was willing to vote for
conviction on circumstantial evidence
alone, provided it satisfied him of the de-
fendant's guilt AS it has been made
plain that Abe Ruef Is the one witness
who can transform the Ford case from
purely circumstantial one into direct,
this reiterated question of Heney's may
mean that Ruef is not to be called. The
failure to call him in the first Ford trial
Is thought to have provoked "a mistrial.
The defense, conducted alternately by
Earl Rogers and A. A. Moore. elaborated
bold line of inquiry started by Heney
when Masons among the panelmen were
tested as to whether Ford's membership
in that order would influence them In his

BY Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Oct 17.-After the body
of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was lowered
into the grave at her childhood home,
Woodstock Ont, there was made public
in this city will she made two years
before her strange criminal career was
exposed.
There is a remarkable contrast between
the pathetic funeral scene in the little
Canadian cemetery and the. picture of
opulence told in the words of the will.
Altogether it is one of the most interest
ing documents yet found in connection
with Mrs. Chadwick's operations.
The will dsposes of over I,0OO.000 worth
of property. Her son, daughter and hus-
band, retinue of servants, relatives ii,
distant cities and friends were to share
to the extent of hundreds of thousands.
Charitable institutions, ten of them, come
in to the extent of $4,000 to 100000 each.
The Humane society was to get $4,000.
Western Reserve university was be-
queathed 100000 cash and was to benefit
under other generous provisions.
In every case of bequest to an institu-
ton, Mrs. Chadwick stipulated that she
should receive full credit, ordering that
the funds be named Chadwick memorial
funds, and that if buildings be erected
they be called Chadwick buildings.

factor, is to retire from further partici-
patton in the traction affairs of the city,

various enterprises and 1t is stated that
the opinion of his associates in the Inter-
borough Metropolitan and its allied cor
porations, that such withdrawal would
be opportune in the present crisis, COIN

Town Marshal Finds CrumpIed circu-
lar with Abltre's Picture and Re-
CARDS His Prisoner as Much
Wanted Californian

Apparently the brutal murderer of
Frances Ramirez at Monrovia has been
run down In Yuma, and as soon as Los
Angeles officers can complete the identi-
fcation the California authorities can for
time at least suspend their hunt, which
has extended for months in all directions.
In a singular way the partial identif-
cation of the much wanted man came
about, and the Arizona officials are sat-
isfied that their prisoner is none other
than Delfin Albitre, whom the Monro-
vians want.
Town Marshal Bob Anderson of Yuma
was rummaging In an old pair of trousers
few days ago when he picked up a
crumpled forgotten circular. sent out
months ago by Sheriff William Hammel
of Los Angeles county asking for the
arrest of Albitre.
Anderson looked at the photograph and
description carefully and quickly noted
a resemblance there to one of his pris-
oners, Genaro Murillo who early in Oc-
tober was convicted In the district court
of Yuma county of numbering one Cruz
Asal.
Aside from the picture 1t is said other
circumstances regarding the past where
abouts of "Murillo" substantiate the
charge that he was near Monrovia year
ago, hence special precautions will be
taken to guard him in his enforced re-
treat.

TOXIC, Oct I7.-A special dispatch
made public here, gives sensational ac-
count of an attack on Japanese by mon
at San Francisco and relates the de-
struction of Japanese property and the
fatal injury of one Japanese.
The foreign office has no information
giving details of this occurrence, and is
not inclined to make a statement thereon.
One of the officials said last night that If
the facts are as published, it is only an
other evidence of the action of irresponsi-
BILE persons who did not represent the
real sentiment of America
This affair is regarded as particularly
unfortunate, however, on account of the
splendid reception accorded by the Off
cials and merchants of Japan to Messrs.
Thomas Burke and M. F. Backus, the
delegates from the Seattle exposition,
who have been constantly entertained and
feted for the last ten days.
