at the Depot, Accompanied
by a Brass
. Band
BY Associated Press.


ABILENE, Kas., March 24.-Former
Senator ]. r. Burton received an en-
thusiastic welcome when he returned
to his home city after his imprison-
ment.
A crowd of several hundred persons,
with the town band, met him at the
depot at 6 o'clock and many persons
were wearing badges on which was in
scribed welcome, Burton"
The former senator rode from the
depot to his home in an open carriage
and his progress through the streets
was in the nature of a triumphal pro-
cession.
The sidewalks were lined with peo-
pie, who lifted their hats as Mr.. Bur-
ton passed. After an informal recep-
tion at their home, Mr.. and Mrs. Bur-
ton were entertained at dinner by
County Treasurer Schneider, after
which they went to the theater, where
the senator made his expected speech
on the subject, why 1 Was Prose-
cuted."
The senator was much affected at
times and once he broke down entirely
and wept. On two other occasions dur
ing the speech he was overcome by his
emotions. His wife, who sat on the
stage, was the only woman in the
audience.
Mr.. Burton modified some of his
statements he intended to make about
President Roosevelt, fearing, 1t is said
that friends of the president might
manifest their displeasure.

suit of which for a few moments was
doubtful. Matheson finally succeeded
in Handwriting the man and led him to

MURDERED MAN
IS FINALLY
FOUND
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz., March R-This
afternoon searchers found the body of
John Leicht, for whom an unremitting
search has been kept UP since he dis
appeared last Sunday.
The body was found near the north
bank of the Arizona canal, short
distance from Central avenue, eight
miles north Of Phoenix, badly decom-
posed. yet recognizable
No valuables were found in the pock-
cts. although it had been supposed he
had about $3.50. The body was viewed
by a coroner's jury, which will meet
again tomorrow morning. There can
be no doubt that Leicht was murdered
by Louis V. Bytinge, who had been
his associate while driving last Sun
day from which Eytinge returned
alont
EytlNge said he left Leicht at a
friends residence in Phoenix, but this
statement later was shown to be false.
Eytinge left Sunday night, March 16.
He was seen at Maricopa that night
and is believed to have started west.
He told an acquaintance at Maricopa
he was on his way to California, where
he was to marry a rich widow.
The sheriff mailed descriptions broad
cast but absolutely no clew seems to
have come of his whereabouts. There
Is doubt concerning the manner in
which death was inflicted.
On the face was found a handker-
chief and near by a corked vial of
chloroform, seemingly intended to in
dicate suicide.
A short distance away was a pint
can marked chloroform, as well as
three cartridge shells of a caliber of
revolver known to belong to Eytinge
1t is assumed that the man was
drugged, then thrown from the buggy
and shot. Leicht was a barber by
trade. He lately arrived from Sheboy-
gan, Wis. He was about % years old.
Eytinge was a nephew of Actress
Rose Eytinge. He came on the same
train with Leicht, though not previous
ly acquainted with him. 1t has been
found that he had been released only
lately from an Ohio penitentiary, where
he had served a term for forgery.
Several small checks forged by him
have materialized.

FAMINE CAUSES
ALARM IN CHINA
DYNASTY AFRAID OF RESULTS
NOW APPARENT
Opportunity Given sedltonary socie-
ties to Enlist Converts to Their
Cause-spread of Hyste-
ria Is Feared
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, March "a. From
Shanghai advices received at the state
department it appears that the dynasty
IN China is seriously alarmed over the
erect of the spread of famine through
the country and the opportunity it Of
Iers 10 seditionary societies to enlist
converts to their cause directed against
the government.
The governments inability to relieve
suffering, it is said, has been magni-
ned and the hardships of the people at
trlputed to lack of sympathy by the
government for the poor class,
The information indicates that a
propaganda has been organized to fur
ther the circulation of stories of the
character outlined and it is said that
state department officials fear that a
spread of hysteria may engender a gen =
eral uprising. If such should be the
case there is danger that the govern
ment might not be able to control the
situation. American and other foreign
interests would then be jeopardized.
80 great is the concern that diplo-
matte and consular officers in China
have been instructed to keep Washing
ton advised of every trun.
Danger Is Recognized
That the Chinese government recog-
nizes the danger is shown by the fact
that Viceroy Tuan Fang has memorial
lied the throne for $1,000,0OO to pur-
chase East Indian rice to feed his peo-
pie. Undoubtedly this step was taken
to offset the work of the seditionarv
societies as well as to relieve the imme-
diate suffering.
In taking his action the viceroy pre-
dlcted a general uprising in the fam
ine-stricken districts unless prompt re-
lief Is provided, but he did not refer to
the trouble that has been stirred uu
by the anti-goVernment parties.
An extra effort will be made in the
United States to broaden the scope of
the movement to find relief for the
Chinese.
Already there have been large sums
of money collected and dispatched tC
China to be used In the purchase OF
food, and in the near future the trans.
port Buford will sail for San Francisco
with a shipload of provisions given by
Louis Klopsch, editor Of the Christian
Herald.
A general movement throughout the
civilized world to aid the sufferers
ii is believed, will enable the Chinese
| government to strengthen itself anC
possibly suppress uprisngs and riots
That any movement threatening the
overthrow OF the present dynasty III
| China gives alarm to the United States
and every European nation which hal
interests i'm China Is not denied. The
| life of every white person in China Is
| believed by officials OF the state de,

| ance of the Chinese government as Il

Admits Disobeying Orders


According to passengers on the
train and w. r. Kelly, the engineer on
the outbound train, written instruc-
tions had been given him to wait at the
switch at tower No. 1, 200 yards from
where the collision occurred, until
after the special from Claremont had
passed. Had these instructions been
obeyed the wreck would not have oc-
Cured.
Kelly's only reason for not obeying
the orders were that he was in hurry
and did not have time to read them.
The engineer on the special had been
notified that his train had the right of
way and thinking he had clear track
to the depot, was crowding on all steam
and going at high rate of speed.
All the railroad employees who were
on the trains at the time Of the acci-
dent have been subpoenaed and will
be required to appear at the inquest
and testify.
The wreckage was cleared away by
gangs of railway employees early yes
terday morning. 1t was reported three
bodies were beneath the broken cab of
the engine, and the men who had been
sent to the scene, assisted by volun-
teers, worked with might and main to
clear away the debris. When the
track was at last clear it was found
that the report of bodies being there
was false.
Heartrending scenes were frequent
at Bresee's undertaking establishment
yesterday. Hundreds of friends of the
young college men who had lost their
lives in the frightful disaster visited
the place during the day and wept
over the bodies of the dead boys. Col
lege men who Saturday raised their
voices with songs and shouts of good
cheer talked in hushed tones, and with
downcast eyes walked to and fro in
the still death chamber at the morgue,
overcome with the great grief which
had fallen on them, their friends and
their colleges.
Early in the morning beautiful
wreaths began to arrive at the under
taking establishment until at noon the
place was filled with the fragrance of
the flowers.
