MURDERED HERMIT'S MONEY
FOUND BURIED UNDER CABIN
Workmen in Stockton, After Long
Quest, Discover Hoard u Miser
Who Was Beaten TO Death,
in Tin Can
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated ErSsh
STOCKTON. Jan. 30.-A part of the
buried money belonging to the hermit
farmer named Cordes. who was .uur-
dered In his cabin near Tracy two
weeks ago, was found today by a party
working under the direction of Dis
trict Attorney McNoble.
Under the foundation wall of his
cabin and in a hole made in the base
ment footing of the wall, where a
stone had been removed, was found q
small tin can which contained three
small sacks of gold, amounting to $500,
all in double eagles.
Some of the money had been minted
in 1906, showing that the old man had
received 1t recently, probably when he
sold right of way for the Western
Pacific railroad through his foothill
ranch. The money all showed dirt on
1t, indicating that Cordes had buried it
In othes places.
1t is believed by men who knew the
old man well that he had several thou
sand dollars buried around his cabin
and thorough search will be made for
the rest OF the money. The prosecut-
ing officers are not satisfied that they
have the right track Of the murderers
yet, though they have one suspect in
jail at Sacramento.
Old man Cordes was brutally beaten
to death.

WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS
ADOPT NEW METHODS
Militant Members of Organization
Deliver Heated Addresses on the
Street, When Ministers Re.
fuse to See Them
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-Having failed to
reach King Edward yesterday during
the ceremonies of the opening of the
parliament, and as the house of COM
mons is effectually biased against
them, the woman suffragists of Eng
land this morning adopted a new meth
cd of protesting against the fact that
his majesty in his speech from the
throne made no mention of their de-
mands to be permitted to vote.
The militant members of the organi-
cation formed themselves into several
committees which at the same hour
today visited the homes of various
members of the cabinet for the pur-
pose of asking them to use their infiu-
e1ce to have the questions of women's
suffrage settled at this session.
Z As none OF the ministers would see
them, the women demonstrated by
ringing door bells and delivering ad-
dresses from doorsteps. The police
were unprepared for this course of
action, and noisy scenes were witt
messed on the fashionable thorough
fafes of London.
The women eventually were dispersed
after seven ailests had been made.

The robbery was the boldest OF its
kind ever pulled off in the west. and
the bullion. which had been received
that day by stage from the Black hills
was valued at 1927, 900.
One of the bricks was sold to the
Denver mint year after the robbery
Sheriff Mccarthy. who then owned the
saloon. which burned recently. was
believed to have been the leader of the
robber band, but the express company
was unable to secure his indictment

Mccarthy has been dead several
years. superintendent Patterson is
trying to establish Identification of the
metal He says the bullion value is
indefinite, but he will have it assayed
at once.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.-
NEW YORK, Jan. SO.-There is trou-
bIe in the office of the Chinese Re
Torm News, the only paper printed in
Chinese in New York. Some time ago
some of the corapositors left their jobs
and now the immigration authorities
have refused to allow new compost
tors imported from China to enter the
country.
Setting type on a Chinese newspaper
is not hn easy job and even in China
compositors afe difficult to obtain. In
an ordinary newspaper several thou
sand characters are used, and 1t Is of
course hopeless to expect that anyone
out a we'll educated Chinaman could
ever MI the position, The editor OF
the paper is appealing to the authori-
ties to ulow his men entrance to the
country.
The Chinese new year begins soon
and every ChInaman must have full

plenty Of calendars and the good
