DENVER TRAGEDY
Ministers Yesterday Took Occa-
sion 10 Speak Of the Wur-
der Of Father Heinrichs.
RELIGION in SCHOOLS

Denver, March 2.-Practically
every minister speaking from the pull
pit here yesterday made the murder
of Father Leo Heinrichs, the princi.
pal subject of his discourse.
Several of them traced the origin
of all crime to the liquor traffic.
DR. Christian F. Reisner of Grace
M. E. church declared that in this
traffic the south had found the cause
of crime and has almost stopped it
Dean Fl. Martyr Hart of st Johns
church said:
Every day men, because of their
power and high station in life defy
law and escape punishment.
AT the present moment iniquity
abounds throughout the land and is
unchecked by quick and proper pun
ishment. We speak of America as a
land of opportunity, but we find
that graspers of riches comprising
only one per cent of the population
now own more than one-half of the
wealth of the country. ta
One great cause of crime he declar-
ed was the public federation of sa-
looms, gambling houses and houses of
i'll repute.
Dean Hart said that a remedy for
existing exils was the teaching of re-
ligion in public schools.

WORK IS STOPPED
Cutters and Quarry Men Idle
Owing 10 no Agreement
Having Been Reached.

Boston, March 2.-More than five
thousand granite cutters, quarrymen
and others employed in the granite
industry and in surrounding centers
of Barre, Vt, Montpelier, vt, and
Westerly, R. l., were affected by
suspension OF work to-day, due to q
failure by the unions and manufac.
turers to agree on the provisions Of q
new wage scale and working agree
ment to replace that which governed
the industry up to Saturday. AL
though the Vermont and Rhode Island
unions voted to suspend operations
until their demands We're met by the
manufacturers, the cutters i'll Quincy
reported for work to-day, following
vote to submit the matters in dispute
for arbitration.
A continuance of the present agree
ment, calling for an average wage of
3711a cents an hour is asked for by
the Vermont unions, while the manu-
facturers say they will contract for
no shorter period than three years.
The unions in Westerly ask for min.
imum compensation of 40 cents an
hour, in place of the 371s cents which
they received under the old agree
ment. Half a hundred paving cutters
and about as many blacksmiths en-
ployed in the quarries at Westerly also
struck to-day for an increase in
wages.

FOG WAS TO BLAME.
Passenger Steamer Went Ashore on
Jones Beach To-Day.

New York. March 2.--The passeng-
er steamer Coamo OF the New York
and Porto Rico steamship company
went ashore in dense fog to-day on
Jones beach on the south shore OF
Long Island about 20 miles east of
Sandy Hook. SO dense was the fog
that Captain Dalton was unable to
see enough OF the shore to ascertain
what part of the coast his vessel had
struck upon and although he prompt
ly sent a wireless message to the
Office of the company in this city. he
was unable to tell where to sand the
assistance he required and it was not
until the sound of "a steamers whistle
giving distress signals was heard
from the shore that the location of
the Coamo became known. The coast
patrol of the Zach's inlet life saving
station patrolling Jones beach was
the first to locate the stranded steam
er by the sounds that came out of the
fog about a mile east of the station.
Preparations were made by the life
savers to send boat off to the
stranded steamer. As the wind was
light and the beach where she
grounded is sandy it was believed
that the passengers were in no i'm
mediate danger. The Zach's Inlet
Life saving station is located on the
westerly end of Jones beach where
an inlet enters the bay between Jones
beach and the mainland.
The Coamo left San Juan. orto Ri
co for New York on February 2S. and
to have reached Jones beach must
have passed the entrance to New
York harbor and steamed northeast

beach.
Ordinarily the Coamo brings north

cially to bring about legislation in all

ing and all summer shooting
Ex-President Grover Cleveland, who
probably takes more vital interest in
the preservation of the wild fowl of
New Jersey than President Roosevelt

duck hunting, is also in favor of the
movement to protect the game birds
Of the state. In letter to President
Isatten Mr.. Cleveland says:

St Louis, March 2.-Forty young wo.

st. Louis, have refused to contribute

Rev. Llston ID. Bass, because he said
It is not proper for girls to work in

brought into contact with men and
that the bride should go to the altar
unkissed
Mr.. Bass also aroused the ire OF the
girls when he said II was improper to
wear dresses with short sleeves. His
ideas regulating the life Of girls, in
which he declares against dancing,
kissing. holding hands and wearing
dresses with abbreviated necks. do not
tend to smooth the rufled temper Of
the young women. Mr.. Bass contends
that anything beyond handshake is

STORY OF CAPTURE
japanese Steamer Talsu Was
Seized By Chinese Who Put
10 Sea Uader Orders.

Victoria, B. c., March "Details
of the seizure of the Japanese steamer
Tatsu, ten miles off Macao were re-
ceived by the steamer Empress OF
Japan which arrived last night from
Yokohama.
When the Tatsu left Japan, tele
grams in cipher were sent to the
Chinese government in consequence
Of which the Chinese gunboat Pc
Blk, with number of foreign drilled
troops on board, put to sea under
sealed orders and the Chinese revenue
cutter Tung Using and three gun
boats joined her. The Tatsu was
found hove to ten miles off Macao in
Chinese waters, awaiting pilot te
get to the Portuguese port.
The steamer was seized and 1,50C
rifles and 10000 rounds of ammuni,
tion were manifested, and 750 rifles
not manifested, which were secreted
were taken. The Chinese command,
ant, Captain WI, hauled down the
Japanese flag and replaced it with the
dragon flag and placed armed forces
on board. A Portuguese junk with
Portuguese troops on board, went out
to assist the japanese steamer, but
was prevented from communicating
with her by the Chinese, in conse-
quence of which strong protests were
made by the Portuguese officers. All
communication was prevented.
The war munitions, which, the
Chinese Say, were intended for Chin
ese rebels, were consigned by Always

the Japanese mine on Queen Char
lotte island, B. c., to Kvong Vo &
company, a Chinese firm of Macao
The shippers agents and consignees
have engaged Portuguese lawyer to
make representations against the

Meanwhile the Tatsu was taken to
Canton under seizure. The ships
agents contend that she was legally
within her rights in taking arms to
Macao but the Chinese declare they
found her endeavoring to land the
arms surreptitiously.

ROOSEvELT'S REVIEW.
His Defense Of Judge Whitley Made
Public To-day.

Washington, March 2.-President
Roosevelt's defense of Lebbeus X.
Whitley, based on an analytical re-
view by Secretary Root of the
charges against him, was made pub,
iic to-day. The charges were pre-.
ferred by Lorrin Andrews and have
been repeated by him before the
house committee on the judiciary as
the basis of impeachment proceeds
ings. They relate to Judge Wilhey's
administration of the United States
court for China at Shanghai.
After disposing of each of the
seven charges by showing that none
of them is the proper basis of criti-
cism against Judge Whitley, Secre-
tary Root reviews conditions in the
foreign quarter of Shanghai shows
ing that because of the heretofore
lax American administration of JUS
tiec there affairs had grown dis
graceful.
Judge Wilfiey was sent there for
the express purpose of reversing these
conditions. Secretary Root concludes:
MY opinion is that Judge Wil6cy
is entitled not to condemnation. but
to commendation and high credit for
his conduct I'm Office and that the
charges against him should lie dis
missed"
President Rooseyelt's vindication is
contained i'm letter TO Secretary
Root. He first observes that il ap-
pears that Congressman Waldo Of
New York stands sponsor for the
charges. Il cordially concur IN your
finding" he continues. (which Is to
the effect that Judge Wiley is not
only innocent. but is attacked solely
because of the fearlessness AMI integ-
rity with which he has stamped out
vice and crime in Shanghai"
Il Is clear that Judge Wilfley has
been attacked not because he has
done evil but because he has done
good. II the attack were to succeed
the beneficiaries would be every keep
er OF house Of prostitution. every
swindling lawyer. every man who liv-
es by blackmail and corruption in the
cities Of the far east. These are the
people whose hopes have been revived
by the effort to overthrow this up
right and fearless Judge who has al
ready done so much for the good fame
Of Aemriea in China. II is not too
much to say that this assault on
Judge wilfey in the interest OF the
vices and criminal classes is a public
scandal"
