WAR ON PRESIDENT
HARTMAN OPENS THE FIGHT
THROUGH ODELL, ACCORD
DING TO REPORTS.
ACTIVE SIGNS SHOWN
After Making Attempts to Make
Peace, Campaign Begins, Is
Opinion--New York For
ces Lined Up.

Chicago, HI, Jan. 21.-In a dis
patch from Washington to the Rec
d-Herald, Walter Wellman tells
how E. H. Hartman, itching for a
crack at President Roosevelt, has
opened vigorous warfare upon the
president through former Boss
Odell, who was overthrown by
Roosevelt after Odell sided with
Hartman in the Roosevelt-Harri-
man fight.
Odell has always retained his grip
upon strong part of the powerful
machine he built up as governor and
>boss. Recently he has been showing
signs of much activity. He made
g overtures for peace to the White
House, but nobody heard him. Then
he coquetted with Cannon, but there
was nothing doing. Meanwhile he
was lining up his forces,
In December the Hughes mana
gers boasted they were going to
adopt Hughes resolutions. Odell' S
secretary wired them that if they at
tempted it his men would vote solid
ly against it. The matter was then
laid over to the January meeting.
Just before this recent Ne~91ng,

STATES HIS OPINION
Probable Democratic Candidate
Gives Views of So-CalIed Sc
cret Meeting-Like Mark
Twain'S Death.

Chicago, H., Jan. 21.-William
Jennings Bryan in the best of health
and an exuberant humor. put up at
the Auditorium Hotel yesterday and
was greeted in his morning paper
by an old acquaintance campaign
canard. 1t was a report of secret
meeting of antiBryan democrats
to be held in New York Thursday.
Mr.. Bryan's attention was called
to the statement from New York
that his enemies in the party expect
ed him to retire should two-thirds
of the national committee make the
request
"I'll wait until the request is
made before answering that he
said. Il have looked through the la
test reports of secret meeting
which has been arranged, and ! no.
tice the names of some men who are
not likely to be present And this is
not the first time that newspapers
have misrepresented the attitude of
prominent democrats"
Mr.. Bryan was asked about the
meeting between himself and Roger
G. Sullivan in Lincoln. He said the
reports of this meeting, like the re-
ports of Mark Twain's death, We're
greatly exaggerated.

Hartman telephoned peremptory
orders to Odell to line up his men
for Hughes. Odell telephoned these
orders to Gruber, his field lieutenant
and the boys were lined up. After a
stiff fight the Hughes resolution was
laid on the table by vote of 302 to
222. Of these latter exactly $50 were
mans orders. The remainder repre-

REWARD Is OFFERED.
Governor AnseI Offers $500 Reward
for the Capture of John Henry
Anderson

Governor Ansel has issued proclama-
tion, a copy of which was received here
last week, offering reward of seventy
five dollars for the capture of John
Henry Anderson, colored, wanted for
assault and battery and for murder
1t is recalled that on the 1st of Septem-
ber Anderson shot and killed his father
in-law, Josh Carter, at Cedar Grove,
negro church, near Waterloo, where
Carter and numerous relatives hadgone
to bury one of Carter's children. An
derson's Ewife had gone back to live
with her father, which fact doubtless
caused the hatred of Anderson toward
Carter. The killing was of horrible
nature, Carter being shot down from
the rear at the grave of his child.
Some time ago Anderson shot Mr..
Irving Benjamin in the face with a load
from shotgun, inficting severe wounds.
He is wanted for both these crimes.

KILLED HERSELF INSTEAD.
A Woman Who Had Been Ordered
To Kill The Gar.

London Especially 1t was not to
be expected that the journey of the
Czar to Reval to meet King Edward
would pass off without story of a
plot, and this is now duly provided
by the Daily Express, according to
which he only escaped assassination
by the refusal of the woman appoint
ed to do the deed.
The paper says she is a local
school teacher who Joined the revo-
lutionists a long time ago, but after
wards withdrew from active work
in connection with the organization.
The revolutionists, however, learn
ing that nobody would be admitted
to the station at Reval on the occa-
sion of the Cars arrival except
school children and teachers, called
upon the aforesaid school mistress
to prove her loyalty to the cause by
assassinating the Gear with bomb.
Rather than comply she committed
suicide by throwing herself in front
of a train two days before the Cars
arrival. She was buried at Reval
in the presence of hundreds of school
children, with whom she was popu-
lar, and a few teachers and towns
folk who were aware of her story.

DEGRADATION OF
A NAVAL TRAITOR
Ensign Utmo, Of France. Convicted
as a Spy,
EXCURSIONS RUN INTO 1OuLON.
Attempted to Sell Naval Secrets to a
Foreign Power-In Public Square,
In the Presence of Many Thousands Of
Hooting People, He Is Degraded, Then
Sentenced to Devils Island for Life.

Toulon (By Cable). - A pitiable
spectacle-the degradation of the
traitor, Charles B. Ullmo, formerly
a naval officer-occurred at st. Roch
Square here in the presence of an
enormous crowd. Ensign Ullmo was
arrested at Toulon last October
charged with being spy. An ex-
animation of his effects showed him
to be in possession of many valuable
documents. Last February he was
found guilty by a court-martial of at
tempting to sell naval secrets to a
foreign power and sentenced to lie
Imprisonment in fortress and TO be
degraded in rank.
Train excursions were run into
Toulon, and thousands of people
from the surrounding country came
in to witness the ceremony. They
packed the sidewalks and covered
the adjacent roofs, walls and ram
parts. The pressure of the crowds
was so great that II threatened to
sweep away the nnes of soldiers and
sailors drawn up around the square.
After the troops had been rein
forced with two line regiments, a
battery of artillery and two squad
rons of cavalry, Ullmo, wearing his
uniform and sword, was led into the
rectangle, where the commandant
read the order that Ullmo had be-
trayed his country and was not
worthy to wear its uniform TWO
subalterns then took off his sword
and stripped him of his chevrons and
buttons. One of the subalterns
broke the sword across his knee and
threw the broken blade at Ulmo'S
feet. In this plight Ullmo was com
PEELED to march at the head OF a
squad of soldiers around the rect
angle amid the boots and 1eers OF
the crowd. He walked with his bare
head sunk upon his breast and his
eyes staring straight in front of him.
Tears were streaming down his face.
Several thousand recruits VINO
witnessed ILLINOIS degradation were
greatly impressed by the ceremony.
Ullmo will be deported to Devils Is
land, off the coast of French Guiana,
where Major Dreyfus was confined
from 1894 to 1899.

A RICH MAIL
SACK IS MISSING
Registered Pouch Disappears In
Kansas City.

Los Angeles, Cal. Especially Re
luctant admissions made by postal of
ficers of three cities confirm to some
extent the belief that the disappear
ance of registered mail pouch some
where within the jurisdiction of the
Kansas City postofiice last Saturday
night will prove to be one OF the
largest losses in the history of the
Postoffice Department. From priv
ate sources It was learned that a
package of at least $4,000 in cur
rency was among the contents of the
pouch, which carried in addition an
unusually large number of letters and
packages containing money and other
valuables. The amount can only be
conjectured, but 1t may reach total
of 100000.
The pouch was in transit from Los
Angeles to New York, and the pos
tai inspectors, who have had the case
in charge for As hours, refuse any
explanation of the manner in which
II became lost to sight. That a pouch
of value has disappeared was admit
ted by the Department at Washing
ton, by Postmaster NJ. H. Flint, of
Los Angeles, and by Inspector w. j..
Vickery attached to the Kansas City
postofiice, who appears to have the
case for investigation.
The fact that the mail in process
OF transfer at the Union Station at
Kansas City, is handled in a tempor-
airy substation, since the destruction
OF the regular branch Office by fire
several months ago, supports the
tneory that advantage was taken of
conditions presumed to be more lax
than ordinarily.
There is reason to believe that the
$4,000 package of currency was a
shipment made by Los Angeles
bank to its New York correspondent.
Postmaster Flint, of Los Angeles,
stated that it would be impossible
for any officer of the department to
estimate the total contents of the
missing pouch until the holders of
receipts issued on the day of ship
ment had made affidavits as to the
valuables mailed. Cashier Charles
Seyler, of the Farmers and Mer-
chants National Bank, tonight said ::
According to our information, a
mail pouch made up here on June 3
and leaving for New York on the fol-
lowing morning has disappeared. A
conservative valuation of the cur
rency contents, furnished by this and
other banks of this city, win be $780,
600. The total amount is made up
between 80 and so packages. Our
correspondent at New York is the
Chemical National Bank, to whom
our portion of the shipment was con-
signed
The registered pouch left Los An
geles over the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad the morning of
June and was due in Kansas City
on Saturday.

FOUND SEVEN
DEAD IN HOUSE
Bloody Crimes Of An Insane Wife
and Mother.

Cadillac, Mich. Especially Seven
persons. all of the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel Cooper, were murdered
sometime Friday night, probably by
the wife and mother, who has been
insane.
Fred Cooper, a son, aged II, is
the only one of the family now alive,
and he is dying at the Mercy Hos
pital, unable to give any account of
the tragedy.
In every instance the victims were
killed with bullet through the head.
The dead are Daniel Cooper, As
years old; Mrs. Cooper, As years;
Harry, aged IA; Inez, aged IL; Sam
uel, aged 10; Georgianna, aged O.,
and Florence, aged X years.
When Mrs. Ccoper's mother and
other neighbors entered the home,
on Chaplin Street, about which there
was no signs of life, bodies of the
victims were scattered all about.
Some were in their beds and others
on the floor. Mrs. Cooper lay across
the body of the baby on a bed with
an emptied revolver beside her.
It is believed Mrs. Cooper COM
mtted the murders and then killed
herself. She was once confined in
an insane asylum, and for sometime
has been brooding over the fact that
Cooper was out of work. A few days
ago she is reported to have said she
would "end it ALL"
Until short time before he died
Fred Cooper insisted he was all right
except for a hard cold and the meas
les. Just as he was about to pass
away, however, he said: Mother
did it," Developments indicate that
the crazed mother first chloroformed
the members of the family before
shooting them. There were no signs
of a struggle in any instance. Neither
we're there powder marks, which in
dicates that the woman stood some
distance away in firing the shots. A
four-ounce chloroform bottle was
found in one of the rooms.
1t has also developed that the
woman had been mentally unsound
ever since the birth of her youngest
child, Florence, l s months ago. She
was sane at intervals, and during
her lucid moments brooded over her
mental condition. She frequently
cursed the baby, even in the presence
of her pastor, DR.. Johnston, of the
Presbyterian Church. DR.. Johnston
had expressed the fear of such a
tragedy.
