The men shot were members Of a
posse. Johnson yesterday shot and
killed Mrs Carl Martin, colOred, because
she refused to elope with him. Just as

idaho SENATOR
MAKES A SPEECH
Heyburn'S Breast Does Not
Swell With Gratitude To-
ward Financiers.

Washington. March 4-Currency iegis-
lation was the subject of consideration in
the senate today. Senator Hepburn op-
posed the Aldrich bill and declared it was
useless and he would not vote for it,
Mr.. Hepburn laie great stress upon
what he declared was the wrong princi-
pie of allowing security TO be used as a
basis for emergency circulation. He de-
clared that only bonds that had the tax
ing power back of them should be used
Tor that purpose
The passage of the bill now. he said.
was like giving a man medicine after he
nad recovered from an illness. He said
the so-called panic was only a nightmare.
and If flnaneiers are given to under
eminent assistance in such cases they
are more apt to conduct their affairs on
a sound basis and thus prevent panics.
One PosslbIe Result.
He took the ground that the result of
the bill might be to supplant the present
currency with the emergency bills, as the
ollls, once in circulation. could not read
Let us say to these financial Jug
glers,' said MIR. Hepburn, you are not to
have more currency when you have un-
lawfully used the money you have had,
nor an elastic currency that shall be in
keeping with your conscience"
He said he had never felt his breast
swell with gratitude toward the financiers
in New York who had been given credit
for saving the situation.
Senator Hopkins spoke at length in
support of the bill
Senator Bailey stated that he would
speak on the currency bill Monday. and
Senator Depew will speak on Friday.
Senator Aldrich announced that he
hoped to have a vote on the measure next
Wednesday.
After addresses had been made on the
hill to increase the pay of the army the
senate adjourned at p. m.

London. April 1.-THE people OF
england are al least as interested in
the health Of ADMIRAL Bob, Evans as
the people of the United States, NOT
only because of their admiration OF
his qualities as a sailor and a ti2nter,
but because they have quite made up
their mind that he must visit Eng
land with his magnificent fleet and
his failure to do so would be great
disappointment, as all kinds OF fes-
tivities have already been planned in
his honor.
England has been visited by Japa-
nese, Germans, French and Russian
warships and all have been made vel

thing like the greeting that would be
accorded to the battleshps of the
United States and their lucky COM

Experts declare that London is on
the eve of the greatest season since
King Edwards coronation year. From
May uatl October there will be a con-
tinuous round OF royal visits, and big
shows. which is estimated they Will
bring TO England 100000 more visitors
than the averaSe. Even Americas
financial stringency, say hotelkeepers,
will not affect the invasion of trans
atlantic visitors.
NJ. Falieres, the French president
comes in May. The following month
is appointed for the visit OF the young
Queen of Holland. The Dowager Tsa-
ritsa is already here, and is likely TO
remain, and there is possibility that
Nicholas | may come before the year
is over. From May to October Will
last the Franco British exhibition at

As far as visitors 90. the Franco
British exhibition will be the biggest
draw. There are no less than 1000
exhibitors. and $1,000 French work
men will arrive to work at it. There
will be 1000 competitors in the Olym-

News Of a most revolving crime
comes from the little town of Aversa
near Naples.
\ young and beautiful woman of
twenty. named Carmela Demauro, and
her husband walked from Aversa to
the adjacent village of FriSnano TO
visit their infant, who was there IN
charge of a nurse. Half the journey
was accomplished, when the couple
lost their way, and asked three men
whom they met on the road the short
est cut to the village. The men point
ed out way across some fields, and
this was taken by the couple.
When a solitary spot was reached,
the husband and wife were overtaken
by the men, who, brandishinS knives
and revolvers, threatened the hus-
band with instant death if he did not
hand over to them his wife. The hus-
band attempted to save his wife from
dishOnor. An unequal struggle re-
suited.
The couple fought with teeth and
nails, but We're son oVerpoWefed
The husband ives securely tied to a
tree. while the three ruffians in his
presence brutally violated the woman,
who had been gagged lest her cries
should attract attention, subse-
quently the husband was released, and
ordered to carry his wife home, where
both arrived in a pitiful state, The man
almost maddnned by despair and the
woman half dead.
Fortunately the police succeeded in
arrestng the three men. who cynlc-
ally confessed their crime. They said
they did not fear prison and only re-
GREETED that they had not killed the
couple and thus prevented discovery.
Il is feared that the woman will die
from the effects of the shock, WhIie
the husband may lose his reason, as
he spends his time weeping with rage
gnawine his hands in despair. e,

~ DOINGS IN PARIS ~


Special Cable to the Graphic by Raoul
de Saint Rene.
From the Hearst News Service
Paris, April 1.-THE secret police
Of this city are keeping a sharp WatcA
on all anarchists, because evidence
been found that the Reds are planning
to assassinate Pope Plus y.
The reason why the head Of the
Catholic church who has hitherto been
exempt from anarchist violence, has
incurred their hatred is, that the CON
tents of a personal letter sent by Pope
Plus to Queen Amelie, OF Portugal
immediately after the murder of her
husband and oldest son have leaked
out
In the letter the Pope ,0ld the
Queen that it was her duty as Queen
and mOthed To stand at her son 5, the
young king Manue's Side, and con
tinually admonish him 70 use the
greatest severity in dealing with an
archists as leniency with these people
would be taken as a sign of weakness
and would surely result in the murder
OF the king.
Pope Plus is even quoted as having
said that only by garrottinS and be-
heading all anarchist leaders could
the anarchistic evil be stamped out
OF existence.
The Paris police are in constant
communication with the Italian, Span
ish and Portuguese police.
French jury has once again found
extenuating circumstances in the case
of callous murderer guilty of as
atrocious a crime as could We'll be
imagined.
The trial took place at Epinal the
prisoner being Emile Charter, son OF
a small farmer. The father, who was
widower had taken a housekeeper'
whom he had treated as his wife. \
boy was born and from that time
Emile became morose and sullen, evil
IDENTIFY thinking the new arrival
might interfere with his Inheritance.
Nothing happened for years, though
Emiles temper grew worse and worse.
At last the end came. One evening
he hid behind the door, and as the
housekeeper entered he split her skull
with ii swinging blow from huge
axe. Hastily putting the body out Oh
view. he waited for his fathers re
turn from the fields, and despatched
him in the same fashion.
The last victim was his half-brother.
He had JUS brought the OK team in
when a terrible blow cut his head III
twain.
Chartier's next move was to dispose
of the bodies He built a great lire
in the farmhouse oven, and after cut
ting the corpses into pieces. flung the
remains into the furnace. Two OIL the
bodies had been thus disposed of when
he was disturbed and fled.
After wandering in the woods for
DAYS until he was nearly starving, he
was captured At the trial he APP
reared utterly unable 10 appreciate
his position He Was sentenced tn
