swedish VICE
CONSUL SUICIDES
CHARLES A. EkSTROMER OF ST.
Z LOUIS ENDS LIFE BY DRINK :
ING PnUssIc ACID TODAY.

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 7.-Charles A.
Ekstromer. Swedish vice consul in st.
Louis, committed suicide by drinking
prussic acid at his home, 1874 Good
fellow avenue, today. Ekstromer
came into public notice some time ago
through a controversy with the federal
officials, which resulted in a revela-
ton of his exequatur by President
Roosevelt. Later he was re-instated
in the good graces of administration
and resumed his official duties mere.
No explanation for Ekstromer's act
is obtained here. 1t is thought, how
lever, that he may have had difficulty
with his superiors in the consular SER
vice, causing him to worry and that
he had taken his life in a moment OF
nervous depression. Apparently Elk
stromer repented of his act when too
late as a card was found on which he
had scrawled:
Il have taken prussic acid to COM
NIT suicide. Call DR.. Langan."
The physician arrived, but could not
aid him.

washington. Dec 7.--Second only in
Importance to the notable gathering
OF governors at the White House last
May win be the assemblage Of chief
executives Of states which will meet
In the national capitol tomorrow. Sew
eral governors and representatives Of
many more are already in the city and
there is a certainty of good attend

The purpose of the meeting is to

busily at work all sumneF and fall,
gathering facts, figures and statistics
regarding the natural resources of
Uncle Sans land. The commission
had an organization meeting last week
and is now ready to discuss the results
of it's labors with the governors. The
executives of many states have taken
an active interest in the movement,
and majority of them have appointed
state conservation commissions to co..
operate with the national body.

conservation movement as the SUI

and will give a hearty greeting to the
governors and others who have aided
in making 1t considerable factor in
the future welfare and prosperity of
the nation.

New Theory Is Advanced for
Colorado Tragedy
POLICE HUNT FOR SUSPECT
BELIEVED THAT MEMBERS OF
GARCIA FAMILY WERE SLAIN
WITH AN AXE BY FRANcl3co
MARTINEZ, WHO WAS UNDER
SUSPICION FOR MuRDER.

Trinidad, Col, Dec. 7.-Another
theory of the murder of the four mem
bers Of the Garcia family. who were
killed last week with an axe In their
home on a ranch near Troy, and in
connection with which crimes posses
are searching for Francisco Martinez,
alias Jesus Barrels, is given by the
authorities here.
1t is stated that Martinez was sus-
pected of numbering Rovaldo Martin,
wealthy sheep raiser, whose body was
found lying beside a road leading to
his ranch last August. Efforts to fas-
ten the crime upon Martinez were un-
successful, however. The theory is
that the Garcias might have become
possessed of evidence pointing to
Martinez as guilty of the Martin MUIR
der and that they were slain because
of this supposed knowledge.
Girls Disappearance a Mystery.
The disappearance of Garcia's
daughter is still a~mystery Many be-
lieve that she was abducted by Marti-
nez because of his infatuation for
her and is being held a prisoner. An
other view is that the f1irl escaped
from the house during the murderous
assault and fled. A blizzard has been
raging in the locality adjacent to the
crime and but little hope is entertain-
ed that the girl can survive IL she
Is wandering alone or hiding some
where on the prairies.

PORTFOLIO OF
WAR GOES TO
GOV. MAGOON

Washington. D. c., Dec. Luke E.
Wright, Tennessee, present secretary
of war, will be continued in that po-
,sition by President Taft until neaE-the
end Of next year.
He will then retire and be succeeded
by Chas. e. Magoon, Nebraska.
Magoon is now provisional governor
of Cuba. His services there will end
Jan. rs, when. the government of the
island will be turned over to newly
elected officers.
After a vacation, Magoon will be
sent to the Philippines for a tour of
investigation. This will occupy six
months. He will become war secretary
on his return.
Magoon did good work in Panama,
where he became close to Taft. He
was scheduled to become Philippine
governor, when the Cuban revolution
caused him to be sent there.
He will have to make tour OF the
Philippines because Taft thinks no
man fitted for war secretary unless he
is familiar with the islands.
Magoon held conference with Taft
at Hot Springs Saturday. He expects
to return to Cuba this week.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Resenblina
more a social function than a serious
assemblage for the tranaction of tina
business OF the nation, the sixtieta
congress convened today for its finas
session. A brilliant array OF dipIot
mats, society women and relatives OF
members filed the galleries when the
gavel was sounded In the house ot
representatives and the senate cham.
Der.
SO great was the demand for an ops
portunity to see the national legis-
lature started In its work that the gal-
cries Of the house were reserved foa
the families and friends of membeEa
with yery few places left for the gem
eral public. In the senate the same
condition prevailed, except that large
space was kept for those who came
without tickets.
Early In the day the capitol was
filed with spectators, and in all the
corridors leading to the gallery en-
/ trance there were lines of men and
women extending for long distances.
and many of these people stood for
hours In a vain hope of gaining ad
mission, as the more fortunate should
become wearied and give UP their
places
Greatest interest today attaches to
the presidents message. This will pa
/ the last annual message of President
Roosevelt, prior to his retirement on
March next, and 1t is declared to be a
classic summary Of the accomplish
ments and ambitions, realized and mn
realized, of his administration. Al
4 though the big stick is not the men
ace to recalcitrant legislators that 1t
once was, 1t is certain that the con-
gressmen will give careful attention
to the recommendations of the presi-
dent.
The membership of the senate and
house remains unchanged for the
present session. With an exception
or two, no new men viii come into
either brtnch, after March 4, who can
be forceful factors for liberating the
law making power. The older men.
who hold positions OF leadership or Of
Influence in the house are arguing
THAT an analysis of the November cleo
tions disclose little or nothing that can
be interpreted as rebuke to the
/ policies adopted on the hill for the
last four years. Senate leaders are a
little less serene In their attitude, be-
cause the western elections will bring
la few progressive republicans into
that body. as we'll as an additional
democrat or two.
II Ia unlikely that little important
business, aside from appropriations
| will be transacted by the present scs-
