KING WRITES TO KAISER.
British Ruler Regrets Agitation Over
Emperor's Letter.

Berlin, March ia local news
agency declares that it has learned
from an unimpeachable authority that
King Edward has sent a letter to EN-
peror William couched in cordial and
friendly terms concerning the revela-
tion by the London Times of the ex-
istence of private correspondence be-
tween the emperor and Lord Tweed
mouth, first lord of the British ad-
miralty. According to this agency
dispatch King Edward, in his letter,
takes the view that the British parlia-
ment and the public, as well as an
immense majority of the press of Eng
land, sharply disapprove of the action
of the Times.
Continuing, the dispatch says that
the attempt of the Times to exploit
a private and non-political exchange
of correspondence in sensational
way and in a manner antagonistic to
Germany caused the British king TO
write as he has to Emperor William.
The kings action, 1t is added, will
create the best impression both In
Germany and in England.

TRIAL OF PRIESTS SLAYER
Prosecution Begins the introduetion
of Evidence.

Denver, March 1.-THE prosecution
has begun the introduction of evi.
dence in the case of Giuseppe ALA,
charged with the murder of Father
Leo Heinrichs. The jury is composed
of business men, all non-Catholic,
who have declared under examination
that they are not opposed to hanging
and would not be influenced by the
fact that the murdered man was a
priest.
The first witness was DR.. Hugh L.
Taylor, who assisted in the autopsy
on the body of Father Leo. He said
the cause of the priests death was a
bullet wound in the heart.
DIR, Edward F. Dean, who per.
formed the autopsy, testified to the
same effect.
Coroner r. P. Rollins told of the
inquest and produced the bullet which
caused the death of Father Leo.
During the entire morning session
eight alienists watched ALA very
closely. ALA sat most of the day
with downcast eyes, but occasionally
he would look at the jury or a wit.

seem to be trying to make out what

ALMSHOUSE IS BURNED.
Two Patients Die of Fright After
Their Escape.

San Francisco, March 11.-One OF
the buildings Of the city and county
almshouse was burned. In 1t when
the fire broke out were 141 persons
mostly patients recently remor d from
the city and county hospital The
almshouse is located near the Lake
Honda reservoir of the Spring Valley
Water company.
Three patients lost their lives Two
of these were old men, who died from
fright. Edward Korn, who had just
undergone an operation, died soon
after being taken from the burning
building.
1t was only by the most strenuous
work that the aged people were saved.
The nurses and attendants formed
brigades and carried most of the old
people from the building, as many OF
them, on account of their extreme age
and their minds being dulled, refused
to leave their rooms.
