Mir Roosevelt kept track of Pederson's movements. and wrote letter to Minister Eagan, asking him to call on the injured man and con- vey his hopes for his recovery. While at the hospital MT. Eagan learned that the King also was aware of President Roose- velt's interest in Peterson, and he sent orders that he be given every attention.

AMERICAN CONSUL
 SHOOTS HIMSELF

Berlin, October 25.-When the Hamburg Berlin express arrived at Ludwigslust this morning the body of a man who had been shot through the right temple was found in one of the compartments which he had occupied alone. A revolver was lying close at hand. The body was iden- tified by papers as that of Silas c. Me Farland of Iowa, the American consul general at large for the European dis trict. Among the papers was his wife's address in Berlin. It was evident that Consul Mcfarland committed suicide.
 The station master telegraphed to Mrs. Mcfarland that her husband had been badly injured and she and her daughter proceeded to Ludwigslust this afternoon, but later returned to Berlin to make ar engagements for the burial.
 Mrs. Mcfarland was unable to give any reason for suicide except that her hus- band had worried greatly of late.
 Consul General Thatcher has sent a deputy to Ludwigslust to take charge of the body.

PRINCES OF TURKEY
 ENJOY FREEDOM

Copstantinople, October 25.-rhe numer- ous imperial princes-no one knows how many children the Sultan has-who were released from gilded captivity by the revo- lution, can now be seen daily in the streets of the most beautiful and dirtiest capital of Europe"
 For the sake of novelty some of the young men go afioat, while others drive their own autos or carriages. They visit stores, lounge In the cafes, go stunning and inspect the landmarks, museums and mosques which heretofore they knew only from photographs and pictures. The populace treats them courteously without taking much notice of their coming and going.
 All the imperial princes are frequent visitors at the treasury, which is not public institution, but the place where the jewels and other precious belongings of the imperial family are kept, including unset diamonds, rubies, turquoises and emeralds, worth millions, besides great stores of gold-plated articles of decora- tion and for use. ,

NIGHT RIDERS ARE
 TO BE SUPPRESSED

Jackson, Miss, October 25.-(Special)- Governor Noel states that if confer ence of the governors of the states of Tennessee, Missouri. Mississippi, Ala bama, Kentucky and Arkansas, is called to discuss ways and means of stamping out night riders, as suggested by Cover nor Patterson of Tennessee, he will be present and lend every possible aid to the suppression of such outlawry.
 The governor repeats what he has said time and again, and what he has wired to metropolitan papers in the north. that there is little trouble In Mississippi along these lines; that there has never been anything more than few threatening notes to burn gins and that not one of such threats has ever been put in execu- tion. At the inception of the trouble Governor Noel gave notice that Missis- sippi was not going to stand any such foolishness, that if the county and state forces were not able to cope with the situation he would invoke the aid of the civil and military forces of the federal government, and wipe the lawless ele- ment out of existence.
 The sentiment of the people of Mis- sissippi is bitterly opposed to such acts of violence, and the very first man, white or black, who is caught setting fire to gins or other property will either be 1ynched by his captors or tried by the courts and sent to the penitentiary farms to make cotton for the state for a term of years.
 It has been two or three weeks since a threatening note has been heard of. If any have been received by ginners they have kept the fact out of the newspapers. and there have been no reports here of gins or sawmills stopping operations on this account.
 Two or three very irresponsible parties have been arrested, charged with having written the notes that were found tackled to gins ill northeast Mississippi, and one in Grenada county, and are now under bond to answer to the grand jury. Tn the event they are shown to be guilty even of sending such warnings in fun they will be dealt with sternly and made to see the enormity of their crime in a way that will leave a lasting impression.
 The terrible tragedy at Reelfoot lake. Tennessee, has stirred the people of Mis- sissippi to true sense of the situation in localities where the lawless element is given sway. and there will not be much sf 1t here.
