entrance Of Weldon into the case gives
the affair turn which puzzles even

associated with the mining man and
the actress. It is known that Goodwin
desired the postponement of Miss Good

a contract TO play in his company for
another year. The assertion has even

by Midnight Robbers
Wife Is Gagged and Tied to Bed
and Escapes Death Only
by a Miracle
Murderers Led by Former Fe-
male Model of Distinguished
Adolphe SteinheiI

PARIS, May 31.--A sensation has
been caused in the art world here by
the brutal murder of the distinguished
painter, Adolphe Steinheil, and his
mother in law, who were found
strangled this morning in the formers
residence in the Rue de Vaugirard,
which adjoins the studio of Seymour
Thomas, the American portrait
painter.
The house was ransackcd of every
thing of value. M. Steinheil's wife,
who was found gagged and bound to
a bed. declares that the crime was
committed by two men and woman
The latter she believes she recognized
as a model who was employed by her
husband.
Aside from the brutality of the crime,
a feature of the affair is the almost
inconceivable- audacity with which it
was perpetrated. The artists house is
situated close to large printing
works where work is proceeding all
night. An almost constant stream of
workmen is coming and going all the
time

FORTUNES FOR
THE CENTERS

Through the death of an uncle in
San Francisco who left an estate which
is estimated to be worth over three
million of dollars, the children of Da-
vid Center, of this city, have fallen into
gOod-sized fortunes. 1t is stated that
each of the children is left at least $780,
900. The fact that they also get a
share in certain rentals of extremely
valuable property means that they will
probablj realize about double that
amount apiece.
The deceased uncle was an old time
Californian, and the larger portion of
this money was invested in city real
estate, which is bringing in large re-
turns. There are three girls and two
boys in the local family who will all
receive handsome fortunes through the
will Of their uncle. A contest was
spoken of at first by some of the other
relatives but it is understood that this
difficulty will be averted.

AN INTERESTING
DIVORCE SUIT

A divorce libel has been filed in the
Circuit Court by f. A. Douthitt in
which a Chinese woman named Leu
Kan wishes to be set free from her
husband, Chang Wing. The case is of
interest on account of the fact that it
* only about two weeks since the
libclant was cleared of a charge of
violation of the Edmunds Act in the
Federal Court. In that case Assistant
T. S. District Attorney W. T. Rawlins
was the prosecutor but was assisted
by Judge r. p. Quarles, who was EN-
ploycd as special prosecutor by the
wOmans husband
The interest in the case will come
in seeing whether the husband, who
wished to see his wife go to jail a
couple of weeks ago, will now fight to
keep her when she has been found in
nocent of adultery. The Chinese as a
rule are very much set against divorce,
considering it a very deep disgrace. A
motion for alimony, pendente lite, costs
and attorneys fee has also been filed.

DOWN WITH
THE HAOLE
SOAP-BOX SPEECH BY FRED
BECKLEY, DELIVERED AT THE
NOON HOUR TODAY.

Il am part Hawaiian and part haole,
but that is not my fault. l won't vote
for a single haole in the election. They
are not friends of the Hawaiians, but
are like plovers, coming here just to
stay a while and make all the money
they can out of us
These were the sentiments which
were propounded this noon from the
soap box at the corner of Bethel and
King streets by Fred Beckley, who for
years has been in the Territorial en-
ploy as Hawaiian interpreter
In going on with his speech he urged
his listeners to pay no attention to the
white men who were running for office,
for they would simply raise the taxes
and make the poor man pay it all. He
denounced John Lane the candidate for
Mayor on the Republican ticket in the
bitterest of terms and called for the
Hawaiian voters to stand together and
vote for Hawaiians, but not to trust
Lane, for he stood in with the haoles.

finish before then. The men are hus-

much shore time as possible.
