tells with them. All are expected to
find permanent homes in this and ad-
joining counties. A second load of

DRAGGING RIVER
For Bodies Of Married Man and Beau
tiful Young Woman WhoM He
Promised to Marry.

Pittsburg, Penn, May 14.--The up
per Ohio river is being dragged for
the bodies of Jesse X. Hise, a married
business man, and Miss Emma Drex-
ell, a beautiful young woman of the
north side, to whom Hise had en-
gagged himself, claiming that he was
single man of means from Salem,
Ohio. A motor boat, which Hise had
bought for the young woman, and in
which they are both known to have
embarked for a ride Tuesday evening,
was run down by tug boat and sunk
at midnight. The tug boat crew can
not say whether or not any one was in
the launch when it was hit. The coat
of Hise, who was an expert swimmer,
was found some distance down the
river today. 1t Is said that Miss
Drexell, who came from one of the
| best families on the north side, had
heard rumors that Hise was married,
and yesterday took him to task about
1t. He denied this, and later asked
her to go out in the new boat, which
he had named "Emma," in her honor.
The DrexeH family tonight says that
Hise told the girl he was John Mans
field, of Salem, Ohio, and that he had
called on her at the house for many
months.
Hise lived in Sheraden, a suburb,
with his wife and two children. He
held responsible position with the
National Biscuit Company, and the Of
ficers of that concern are much wor-
ried tonight over his disappearance,
as they say he could not have bought
the motor boat, costing $1,000, out of
savings from his salary.
The double tragedy, or double dis
appearance, brings out queer state
of double living on the part of Hise.
He was one of the most persistent and
attentive wooers of Miss Drexell, call
ing on her every evening, and the
time had been set for their wedding.
Mrs. Hise said tonight:
when asked my husband why he
had to go out each evening and stay
out until midnight, he replied that he
was a correspondent of the Associated
Press and had to work at night, so
thought it was all right"

EVELYN THAW IN A
SERIOUS CONDITION
She Has Suffered From a Gen.
eraI Nervous Breakdown
Following the Trial.
GRAVE CONCERN is FELT.
HER FRIENDS ATTRIBUTE HER
CONDITION TO THE EFFORTS
OF THAW'S RELATIVES TO
BRING ABOUT A SEPARATION.

New York, March Mrs. Florence
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is seriously i'll
as the result of a general nervous
breakdown and inquirers at the house
tonight were informed that her con-
dition is such as to cause grave con-
Germ among her friends. Two trained
nurses are in attendance upon the pa
tient and DR.. Valermmer Stillo has
ordered that she must see no one or
be disturbed.
Mrs. Thaw has been in poor health
ever since the beginning of the last
trial of her husband. Two weeks ago
she was attacked by grip and had to
take to her bed.
Mrs Thaws friends attribute her
condition to the fact that her hus-
band being now saved, his family is
making every effort to separate them.

PEOPLE ARE NOW
OODC|kG DOG TAX
Owners Refuse to Claim the
Stray CANNES.

There are many dogs in Richmond
just now without owners who have
forgotten that part of their assessable
assets, said an assessor today The
assessors are making their annual
spring visits and are having just as
much trouble as ever. They do not
have much difficulty in getting lists OF
personal property. probably because
the tax does not have 10 be paid for
some months.
The assessors are supposed TO col
lect the dog tax as they go and many
people would rather make an excuse
about the ownership of the CANNES
than pay the money. Where the mon
ey is not paid. the account is turned
over to the prosecuting attorney and
no doubt many arrests will be made in
the near future.
Dog tax must be paid this year
People who pay on other property will
not stand for the dead-head" dog any
longer

Diplomatic Circles on Eve of
Jap-Chinese Crisis Talk of
This Country's Situation in
impending Conflict.
EUROPEAN POWERS MAY
SUGGEST NAME OF U. S.
Japan Could Accept this Coun-
try as Mediator, or Could
Refuse-China Has to An
sWer Today.

Washington, March 7.-An acute
stage in the negotiations between ia
pan and China, where war now looms
as an ominaus possibility, has caus-
ed diplomatic circles here to discuss
the pertinent question as to whether it
is likely any European nation may
suggest the United States as medita-
tor. The general impression appears
to be, that the inquiry may be con-
vened within day or SO by some con-
tinental power to Pekin, asking if the
United States would be acceptable as
q mediator. Inasmuch as the Japan
ese government has stated that its
honor is concerned, there is little
chance of having the cause of the
quarrel referred TO the powers, unless
Japan should agree TO waive the point
of national honor an issue raised by
the hauling down of a Japanese flag
when the Mira was seized by China.
Japan could accept the United States
as mediator or not as she liked.

Drugged, Robbed and Laid on
Tracks of a Railroad at
Rockford, III.
STRUCK BY FOUR TRAINS.
POLICE BELIEVE THE WOMAN
WAS DRUGGED, BEATEN WITH
A STONE AND THEN PLACED ON
THE TRACKS.

Rockford, ILL.,, March 7-Drugged-
robbed and laid on the tracks of the
Burlington road that train might
kill her, is believed by the police TO
have been the fate of Mrs. Anna
Laying of this city, whose mutilated
remains were picked up today after
four trains had passed over her body.
John Samuelson, night watchman at
factory, saw Mrs. Laying and a man
walking along the side tracks when
he went on duty. Later he saw the
man alone. The police theory is that
Mrs. Laying was drugged, beaten with
a stone and left on the track.

MAYOR M'KEE WAS
DECLARED GUILTY
Thouuht Punishment Will Not
Be Melted Out.

Logansport, Ind, March 7.-Mayor
George p. Mckee Of this city, has been
declared guilty Of intoxication by the
Impeachment court, but no other ac-
ton was taken in the trial by coun-
Gil. Another meeting of the Council
must be held TO determine what, if
any. punishment should be meted out
to the mayor. However, there is a
strong feeling that this is the end of
the impeachment proceedings-that
the Council, in the face of the feeling
of the citizens of Logansport. will not
try to proceed further and attempt to
throw Mayor Mckee out of office.

ROY MAY Be
BROUGHT BACK HERE
If Government Desires This,
Action Will Result.

Paris, March 7.-If the United
States government should really de-
sire it, Paul Emile Roy probably will
be taken to New Hampshire for trial
for the murder of George A. Carkin,
brother of Mrs Roy, who is better
known as Glacia Gala.
Every effort is being made by his
family to have the matter thrashed
out before the French courts. They
base their contention on the law which
provides for the trial in France of a
French citizen for any crime commit
ted abroad and would force the ac-
cusers of Roy to bring their evidence

HOBSON DEFENDS
HIS POSITION
Evangelist Says Many People
Thought Him a Little
"TWo-by-Four.'
PLEDGED THEM SELVES.
THIRTEEN RICHMOND CONVERTS
HAVE DECIDED 20 TAKE UP
MISSIONARY WORK IN FOR
EIGN FIELDS.

The Grace NJ. Z. and First NJ Z.
churches have decided to continue the
joint revival services under DR.. Till
man Hobson for another week. The
meeting will be moved back to the
Grace church Monday night for re
mainder of the revival. At the end OF
the meetings here. DR.. HobsOn will go
to his home in Anderson for q rest
preparatory to his departure to Kan
sas where he will join DR.. E. H. Bied-
erwolf in a statewide revival.
Thirteen Pledge Themselves.
The Grace and First NJ. E churches
here are unanimous in their praise of
the great work that the Rev. Hobson
has done. There have been many con-
verts and Friday night thirteen of
these converts publicly dedicated
themselves TO the work in foreign
fields. The Rev. Hobson himself feels
that his position in the evangelical
field has been misunderstood. perhaps
wantonly by many people in Rich
mond. When seen yesterday by a
press representative he said:
When l came to Richmond and be-
gan to cry out against sin there were
people who thought that l was a little
two-by-four preacher and it deyolved
upon them as public duty to close
my mouth. They did not know that l
am associated with Rev. J. Wilbur
Chapman. DR.. Biederwolf and others
composing one of the greatest evan
gelical circles in the religious world
today. Our mission is TO cry out
against all forms Of sin and we will
continue TO do so despite all the forces
that are massed against us. Next fall
We will be associated in great reviv-
al services that will include the whole
state OF Kansas and we expect to see
a religious wave sweep the state that
is without parallel in its history"
