PECULIAR FACTS
SURROUND CASE
He Died Shortly After Midnight
and His Body Was Embalmed
Before Ddylight---ArseniC
In Body ArouseS SuS-
piCiOn Of Brother.

New York, April 9.--The mystery
surrounding the death of Walter F.,
Baker, the wealthy young Boston
man. which caused a sensation last
october, will probably never be
cleared up Despite the fact that the
coroner's jury recently found that
the young man was poisoned. it is
said that the authorities have prac-
tically concluded not to lay the mat
ter before the Bergen county grand
jury which met today. The district
attorneys office is Of the belief that
the evidence at hand would not war
rant any arrests in the case and un-
less the private detectives employed
by the relatives Of the victim bring
to light some new facts on which an
arrest could be made it is extremely
likely that the world will never know
how young Baker came to his death
and the motive for his murder. If a
murder was committed
Baker died October 27 last within
an our after he had been removed
to the home Of his friends. Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Hurd in Bogota. from
the tenderlon restaurant where he
was stricken. He died shortly after
balmed before daylight. When his
brother in Boston was informed of
Walters death he at once directed
that the body be not embalmed. but
1t was too late. The brother was not
satisfied with the report of the cir
cumstances of the death and decided
to have an examination made by
chemists of the organs of the body
even after the embalming fluid had
been used. The chemical and micro
scopical examination of the visceran
and internal organs disclosed the
presence of large quantities of ar
senic in the body. The poison was
said to have been found in organs
which the embalming fluid could not
by any possibility have entered.
Baker left a fortune estimated at
about 100000. For several years
before his death he had been well
known in this city as a frequenter of
fashionable restaurants and cafes

GERMANY SUPPORTS
THE UNITED STATES
Washington Diplomats Believe the
Real Question at Stake Is the
Effect RuSSid'S Claim viii
Have in Future If II
Is Granted Now.

Washington, April 9.--Furthcr de-
velopments resulting from diplomatic
conferences here today demonstrated
clearly that Russia intends to insist
upon the right to exact a license from
Bremen i'm the city of Harbin in the
Chinese province of Manchuria.
Baron Rosen, the Russian ambas-
sador. called at the state department
arguing that such a power even if
exercised does not amount to the
cham of sovereignty and the taxing
power. 1t Is admitted, however, for
purposes of diplomatic exchanges that
Russia does not intend to lay claim
to sovereign power in or jurisdiction
over Manchuria
Baron Won Stornberg the German
ambassador, called at the White
House today. His government Is In
terestcd deeply in the outcome of the
exchanges over Harbin, but so far as
can be learned, there has been no
formal agreement between the United
states and Germany to act in accord.
1t is understood that the German
consul at Harbn has taken the same
position that the United States has
assumed. The German consul is sup
ported by the foreign office Just as
the American consul at Harbin, f. ID.
Fisher, Is sustained by the state de-
partment.
The real question at issue appears
to be, not what Russia is doing now,
but what will be the effect of her
diplomacy If it be granted that Rus
sia has the right to demand licenses
for the transaction of business at
Harbiu

Rights Are Railroads.

The Russian ambassador according
to reports in diplomatic circles, is en-
dcavoring to produce the impression
that when China granted the right Of
way to the Russian railway in Man
churia in 1896. it did not necessarily
mean that such rights were granted
to Russia as a government American
diplomats and German diplomats il Is
understood, take the view that the
acts of the railroad are the acts of
Russia. and that Russia, therefore, is
assuming to demand such licenses on
Chinese soil
The diplomats here are willing TO
abide by the offer said to have been
made by Russia, that she will enter
into a stipulation to the effect that
tn" railroad rights do not now and
Will never be regarded by Russia as a
right of sovereignty over Manchuria.

In his message President Roosevelt
says in part: when compared with
the suppression of anarchy, every
other question sinks into insignifi-
ance. The anarchist Is an enemy OF
humanity. an enemy of all mankind
and his Is a deeper degree of crin-
haeiu. ,-an euy other. No news
paper published here or abroad
should be permitted to circulate IN
this country If it propagates anar-
chlsuc opinions.
He then goes on to say that some
remedy must be found for the sup
preston of the cult in the United
states and asks Congress to form
some law under which anarchy can
be prosecuted successfully in the red
cral courts.

Germans are Held in West Virgin
ia Mine--One Escapes and

General and Local News of Mine
Workers--Call for National Con-
vention Issued-Much Interest
Manifested in Guard Bill.

\ special dispatch from Dead
wood, S. D., to the New York
Times on January 5th says:
Charles Bodgener, German,
who reached Deadwood several
days ago, has complained to the
German Embassy that he was held
as slave in West Virginia in a
coal mine for three months, and
that there are other Germans there
now in the same condition.
Bodgener reached New York last
summer enroute to the Black Hills
where he has friends, but says he
was inveigled to West Virginia un-
der the belief that he was going to
DeadwoOd. He was forced to la :
Dor without pay under armed
guards and not permitted to COM
municate with friends.
The above dispatch was sent out
through the Associated Press to
all the papers of the country, and
yet there are people in West Vir-
ginia who assert that there is no
guard system.

SHAFT MEN LEAVE

We have been reliably informed
that the shaft men recently ship

ceremony and widely heralded by
the plutocratic press of the state,
have shaken the dust of that Sibe
rian cline from their feet, and re-
turned to their homes sadder but
wiser men.
How they eluded the Dixon Cos
sacks we are unable to state, but
suffice toIsay, they came not as they
went. And it is a safe prediction
that the gentlemen from the Buck
eye state will ponder long time
before they make another excursion
into ''scab' territory, regardless
of the glittering and seductive in
ducements. That they were ex-
tremely lucky in getting away goes
without saying and they may thank
their stars that their remains do
not dot one of the hillsides as vic
tins of an explosion or one of the
human hyenaS, courteously called

FATAL EXPLOSION
AT MINDEN MINE
In Which Three Men Lose Their

Rumors reached this city some

succeeded with the assistance
OF the subsidized press in
keeping it from the general pub.
lie up to the present time, but af-
ter some investigating we have Sc.
cured confirmation of the rumor
from Il reliable source.
The explosion occurred at Mine
No. 5, at Minden, operated by the
Berwin- White syndicate in whic h
eight men were seriously injured,
three OF whom have since died. The
names of the men could not be as
eertalned and no information as to
the cause of the explosion or the
minute details, as the inhabitants
of that oppressed and "guard' rid
uen section were 10th to say any
thing about the affair for feIr of
bringing the wrath of their lawless
and tyranical masters upon them.
1t is passing strange that an ac-
cident of this fatal nature can take
place within the shadow of the
state capitol and can be so success
fully suppressed that the daily
press never so much as mentioned
the fact.
This is another inducement that
can be held out by the Sscab"
hunters who are securing the earth
for men to send into the New Rv
er coal fields. But the day is COM
ing and coming swiftly when even
the wage slaves Of Fayettea county
will be freed from the fettelS of the
greedy and ghoulish cliqne who
rule that county with Winchester
