SC0UR PRAIRIES FOR OUTLAW
POSSES SEEK MURDERER OF
GARCIA FAMILY.
Girl May Have Perished in Snow.
storm on Ranges or Be Prisoner
of Murderer.

TRINIDAD. Col, December An
other theory of the murder of four
members of the Garcia family, killed
with an AK in their home on a ranch near
Troy, about ninety miles from here. and
in connection with which crimes posses
are searching for Francisco Martinez,
alias Jules Barela, is given by the au-
thorities here.
1t is stated that Martinez was suspected
of numbering Rovaldo Martin. wealthy
sheepraiser. whose dead body was found
lying beside the road leading to his
ranch last August. Efforts to fasten
the crime upon Martinez were unsuccess-
full however.
The theory is that the Garcias might
have become possessed of evidence point
ing to Martinez as. guilty of the Martin
murder and that they were slain be-
cause of this supposed knowledge.
The disappearance of the seventeen
year-old daughter of the Garcias is still
mystery. Many believe she was alb
Quoted by Martinez because of his in
fatuatiOn for her and is held prisoner.
Another view is that the girl escaped from
the house during the murderous assault
and fled.
A blizzard has been raging in the ter
ritory adjacent to the scene of the crime
Little hope is entertained that the girl
can survive if she is wandering alone
or hiding somewhere on the prair!es.
No word has come from the posses.
None is expected soon. as the country
over which they are searching is not
thickly settled and there is no quick
means of communication.

WAR IS PROBABLY AVERTEO
FOUCHARD OUT OF FIGHT FOR
HAITIAN PRESIDENCY.
Gen. Simon Will Shortly Be Pro
claimed and Will Take Possession
| Of the National Palace.

PORT AU PRINCE, December THE
political situation is clearing. at least in
certain directions. During the recent In
terview here between Gen. Simon. the
leader Of the revolutionary movement
that resulted in the flight of Nord Alexis
from the capital, and Cen Fouchard, an
aspirant to the presidency, who arrived
yesterday at the head of band of fol-
lowers. the latter said that in view of
the fact that. God had blessed the arms
of Gen. Simon, he withdrew his candi-
dacy in order that the possibility of civil
war be averted. The proclamation of
Gen. Simon as president of the republic
was then decided upon.
The local population has accepted the
new order of things and Gen. Simon will
shortly take possession of the national
palace. Gen. Turenne Jean Giles, who
was at one time mentioned as a possible
successor to Gen. Nord Alexis. has given
assurance that he will see to the main
tenance of order in the department OF
the north.
. It is felt here that if Gen. Simon pro-
ceeds in accordance with the constitution
it soon will be possible to bring together
the national assembly.
All the senators and deputies at present
in Port au Prince are convinced that
the election Of Gen. Simon by a large
majority is assured, but it is argued that
the elections should be held without loss
of time so that the other presidential
candidates be not able to bring forward
an organized resistance and in order also
to avoid American intervention, which
probably would come in the case of dis
turbances on the the island.

The financial situation is improving.
The government is expecting the ar
rival of two million local currency in
nickel coins, ordered by the previous ad-
ministration.

For many days past the demand for

When the doors of the massive structure

From that time on they came in droves.
Corridors on both floors were filled with

lines of people stood outside each gallery

a peep into Senate or House, or some of
the more fortunate ones vacating their
seats.
Cnfavorable weather conditions did not

Chicago Embalmer Says City Is at
Mercy of Funeral Trust

CHICAGO. December THAT Chicago
is at the mercy of a funeral trust is the
allegation of P. J. Hurzen, an embalmei
who, in display" advertisements in daily
papers has been stirring UP" his brother
undertakers. He says. in part
There are so many undertakers In Chi
cago that many of them bury but fifteen
or twenty bodies a year The result is
that for a funeral which should cost but
5000 these undertakers invariably charge
as high as $500 Caskets which should be
sold at about $50. at good profit, they sell
for $500 and $3.50
when death comes the relatives, in the
stress Of preparation and grief, have nei-
ther time nor inclination to look into
values. They call the nearest undertaken.
They select as an expression of their love
the finest casket within their means. At
great personal sacrifice they pay 500. say
for a casket that should cost but $50 or
500
Harlow NJ. Goodale, president of the
Chicago Undertakers' Association. says
the charges made by Mr.. Hurzen are not
based upon factA

NO COST TO GOVERNMENT
PRESIDENT A GIVER, NOT A
TAKER, ON AFRICAN TRIP.
Will Pay His Own Expenses and
Hand Over Prizes to Smith
sonian Institution.

President Roosevelt will get nothing
much of value to the government on his
African trip. says statement given out
by the Smithsonian Institution today The
statement follows:
President Roosevelt decided last spring
upon the proposed hunting trip to Africa,
and during the summer Secretary Wal
colt learned that the President was will
ing to have one or two naturalists accom-
pany him from the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, provided their expenses could be met
and also that the collections made by the
come to the Smithsonian Institution and
be deposited in the United States Ma
tional Museum.
''Mr. Roosevelt will pay all the ex-
penses of himself and his son Kermit in
connection with the proposed trip, includ-
ing outfitting and transportation.
THE expenses of the three naturalists
sent out from the Smithsonian Institution
will be paid by funds provided for the
purpose, no part of which is derived from
any government appropriation or from the
income of the Smithsonian fund.
MIR. Roosevelt will not receive one
penny of the fund for his own or his som 8
use or expenses; on the contrary he makes
d gift to the government of specimens
worth many thousands of dollars. and
possibly of a value that can hardly be
expressed. He will get nothing from the
government: he will give much of value
to the government; the governments share
will be limited to receiving the gift

HOTEL FIRE RouTs GUESTS.
Blaze in Kitchen Filled Corridors
3 With Smoke.

CHICAGO, December 7.-Guests at the
Kaiserhof Hotel were reused from sleep
today by a fire which originated in the
hotel kitchen and filled the corridors and
lobby with volumes of smoke. In order
to prevent a panic the management
directed the porters and bell boys to no.
tify the occupants of the rooms above the
first floor that there was no danger. Not
withstanding this assurance many of the
guests hastily dressed and sought the
hotel office. The fire was confined to q
quantity of grease which had accumulated
behind one OF the kitchen ranges.
One of the employees was overcome by
the smoke before the blaze was extin-
guished, and the rush of fire engines to
the hotel alarmed the occupants of Nc
Coy's Hotel, few doors distant.

DICK YATES IS
GIVING DENEEN
CLOSE CONTEST
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IS
STILL IN DOUBT
Foss' VICTORY OVER HOPKINS
PREDICTED
Primary Elections Show Illinois PoIiti-
cal Pot Has Been Boiling Hard.
Winners at This Time
Not Known
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. AT 1 o'clock this
morning the returns from the hrst
primary elections ever held in TINS
state are still coming in and the result
is in doubt except in a few particulars.
The contest has been one of the
closest ever held in Illinois, the strug-
giles in the Republican party for the
gubernatorial nomination and for in
dorsement as United States senator
being especially severe.
From the incomplete returns at
hand it can only be stated that the
contest between Governor Charles 5.
Deneen and former Governor Richard
Yates for the gubernatorial nomination
is extremely close. Deneen carried the
city of Chicago and the county of COOK
by approximately 1890 votes, but the
returns indicate that Yates has re-
ceived the greater support in the state
outside of Cook county. The Deneen
people claim that the returns indicate
the nomination of their man by about
$500. The Yates managers assert he
will certainly have a strong majority.
On the Democratic ticket the indica-
tions are that former Vice President
Adlai E. Stevenson of Bloomington has
betn nominated. James hamilton
Lewis of Chicago made a wonderful
run in his home county, receiving at
least 10000 plurality.
For Republican Endorsement for the
United States senatorship the contest
between Albert ]. Hopkins, the incum>
bent, and Representative George Ed
mund Foss of the Tenth district, is
extremely close. Foss carried the city
of Chicago by 5000. but the returns
from the state at large are indefinite
and conflicting. Present indications,
however. seem slightly to favor Foss.
Lawrence b. Stringer Of Lincoln had
a walkaway in the Democratic party
for the senatorial Endorsement.

VICTIM FALLS UNCONSCIOUS
TO THE FLOOR
BABY RESCUED FROM A BED
WRAPPED IN FLAMES
Mrs. MearIe Wetmore Of San Diego
Is Attacked by the Same Man
Three Times in Sixty
Days
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. S.-For the
third time within sixty days Mrs,
Mearle Wetmore, wife of street car
man, was last evening the victim of
an assault, presumably by the same
man, at her residence on Thirtieth
street and National avenue. After the
first assault a warrant was issued for
Louis Seibel, but it has not yet been
served.
Last night when Mrs. Wetmore and
her baby were alone in the house
man entered and knocked her uncon-
scious. When she regained her senses
she found the house was on fire. She
snatched the baby from the bed, which
was burning, and made her way to the
street with the child. The fire de-
partment extinguished the flames. An
investigation showed the room had
been fired in four different places
Mrs. Wetmore states that six years
ago. when a girl, living with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Rush, on farm
twenty-one miles from Davenport, Ia,
her grandfather died, leaving property
to her father, but cutting off his broth
er. Subsequently her fathers barn
was fired by masked men. Her uncle
and Louis Seibel and brother of the
latter were arrested for arson. She
testified against them, but they were
acquitted.
She declares that Louis Seibel said
he would have revenge on her. Later
she married and came here with her
husband. She says that last March
she saw Seibel in this city. She de-
clares that he started toward her with
| the words: II have found you" She
| screamed and ran. Two months
ago while alone at home man entered
her house, seized her by the throat
and choked her into unconsciousness.
He ransacked the house and escaped
Mrs Wetmore says she recognized him
as Seibel.
A warrant was then issued for him.
Mrs. Wetmore declares that even while
| the police were searching for him Sell
| bel came to her house with revolver,
| but her husband chased him off with a
| gun. Mrs. Wetmore is a frail little
woman and is much wrought up over
the occurrences, especially that of last
night. Detectives are looking for Sell
bel
