AFFINiTIES
MAY Be WE'D
ARTIST EARLE is PLANNING TO
MARRY MISS KUTTNER IF MRS
EARLE WILL ONLY SECURE A
DIVORCE.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-That Ferdinand
Pinney Earle and Julia Ruttner who
startled America by the announce
ment of their affinity" creed last
September, will be married shortly
IN Paris, is rumor current here.
Mrs. Earle now has an application
for divorce pending in the French
courts. AS soon as this is granted
Earle and his spiritual affinity"
will be legally married. 1t is alleged
that the present Mrs. Earle Will
witness the marriage, and thus
give another shock to conventions
al morality.
Since coming to Paris the artist,
his present wife and his future
spouse have been seen much to-
gether and have gone off on many
little trips together, each apparent
ly treating the other with the ut
most consideration and showing
every evidence of affection in their
conduct.
Parisians are immensely interest
ed in the Earle-Kuttner romance,
but there have been no such mani
festations of hatred and disgust as
We're vented upon the artist in New
York. There is almost universal
nraise for the novel attitude of Mrs
Earle in effacing herself in order to
insure the happiness of her husband
and there is little b'ame for Earle
or Miss Kuttner.

FLORIDA TO
SPEAK FIRST


ST. AUGUSTINE, Feb. 5.-This
city is rapidly filling with delegates
to the republican state convention
which is to meet here tomorrow to
choose delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago. Additional in
terest attaches to the convention
from the fact that 1t will be the first
of the state convention to select del
egates.
Contested delegation will be sent
from several counties fthe state,
owing to the split between the white
and colored elements of the party.
The white wing. popularity known as
the office holding element, is in ia
vor of sending delegates to the
Chicago convention instructed for
Taft, while the negroes have es-
poused the cause OF Senator Foraker.
The Taft adherants appear con-
fident of winning out. though it is
evident the convention will witness
a spirited contest between the two
factions.

WILLIAMS HOPES
FOR REBELLION
DEMOCRATIC HOUSE LEADER
NOT IN FAVOR OF LATE MES
SAGE, WHICH IS TOO RADICAL,
THOUGH DEMOCRATIC

WASHINGTON, Feb. General
debate on the Indian appropriations
bill in the house was yesterday ex-
tended so as to permit it's continu-
ance until the close of the session
last night.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi was
recognized at once for an hour, and
taking for his text the presidents
message, which was thoroughly dis
cussed, said he disagreed with Mr..
Hepburn's statement that the meg
sage met with the approval OF the
entire American people. Indeed, he
said, there are things in it sensa-
tional, federalistic and dangerous to
the American people.
Mr.. Hepburn, he declared. had
threatened "the big four" of the
house-the speaker and Messrs.
Payne, Dalzell and Sherman-when
he asserted that the house would
pass the remedial legislation the
president had recommended. He
hoped to see the standard of rebelI-
ion raised by Mr.. Hepburn, and he
said he hoped to see some OF the
things spoken of In the message en-
acted into law.
He was no hero worshipper, and,
therefore, he would consider the
message without any regard to the
honorable Theodore Roosevelt. from
whom the message emanated. 'sT
shall consider it" he said, amid
loud applause, Just as If it had been
a measure emanating in the past
from Grover Cleveland or William
Mckinley, or a message which more
nearly resembles in its substance one
emanating from the honorable w. J.
Bryan
Mr.. Williams declared that he was
not one of those who were afraid OF
q radical in the White house. He
discussed briefly the possibility Of
railroad rate legislation and insisted
that 1t was of democratic origin.

COURT HEARS DIAMOND CASE
Jury Says Former Sheriff Foresman
Did Not Exceed His Authority.

II took the jury in the case of Mil
Ter vs. Harvey Foresman, ex-sheriff.
but 10 minutes last evening to de-
eide that the defendant did not ex-
coed his authority and that damages
did not accrue in his hand'in of the
property he seized under process
from the plaintiff or her representa-
tive last year while performing the
duties of sheriff of Nez Perez county.
The suit was one for damages
arising out of the seizure of some
cattle on attachment, which were
later turned back to the plaintiff.
/ The allegation was that the ami
mails, while in the custody of the
sheriff. were not fed properly nor
were the mich cows given proper
care and that damages accrued to
the extent of $2ss.50. The verdict
was unanimously for the defendant.
The suit of Lulu Rankin against
Sol Caldwell for the recovery of two
diamond rings alleged to have been
sold to Caldwell by Harry Noyes
has occupied the time of the district
court today.
The testimony brought out goes
to show that Noyes was living with
the Rankin woman and had at sew
eral times given the rings in secur-
ty for money that he had borrowed
from Caldwell, but had always re-
deemed them. The last time, how
ever, before he could redeem them
he was arrested on a charge of forg-
cry and was taken to the peniten-
tiary at walla walla. where he is at
the present time.

DICE AGAINST THEM IN KINGS
COUNTY.

NEW YoORK, Feb. 5.-Another
phase of the case against John G.
Jenkins, ST., John G. Jenkins Jr.,
Frank Jenkins and Frederick Jenk-
ms, indicted officials of the Williams
burg and Jenkins Trust companies,
will come up tomorrow when a mo-
ton for change of venue will be
argued in Minoela.
The change of venue is demanded
on the grounds that the defendants
cannot receive a fair trial in Kings
county, owing to the feeling Of
prejudice inspired against them on
account of their connection with the
suspension of the institutions OF
which they were directors.
Conspiracy is the charge on which
the defendants were indicted. II
Is alleged that they conspired to use
Illegally the funds of the two trust
companies.

NAN MURDERED
BY HOUSEKEEPER
she HID HIS BODY IN THE BED
AND GAVE OUT THE STORY HE
HAD GONE TO ITALY-sUsPIC.
ION LEADS TO HER ARREST

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-More than u.s.
ualy gruesome is murder story that
comes from Leipsic. Paul Geigler
WAS the proprietor of book shop
and with him lived, professedly as
bousekeeper and assistant, young
woman named Nina Doell. About
tha middle Of November Geigler dis
anneared from view, but his house
keeper explained this by saying that
he had gone to Italy on business.
AZ he did not return inquiries be-
came pressing, an dthe young wo-
man then made the fatal mistake of
altering her story, asserting that
Geigler was in hospital in Vienna
This change of tale aroused sus-
melons and when Investigations in
Vienna failed to reveal any traces
If the missing man serch at his
house was decided upon.
Accordingly the police went to
Geigler's rooms, whereupon the
Doell girl jumped from the window
and fed. Investigations showed the
he'd. which was made and apparently
unoccupied, contained Ge!gler's body
The remains were black and in an
advance state of decomposition.
There were traces that indicated
that death had been caused by
strangulation.
It was evident that the girl had
cooked and slept in the same room
with the dead man for weeks. She
had made off with the sum of 81
500 and was arrested at Halle. 1t
was ascertained that she has sweet
heart, and he also has been taken
into custody on the suspicion that
he had something to do with the
crime.

RUSSIA IS
GETTING HUNGRY
CONCENTRATION OF TROOPS
GIVES RISE TO BELIEF THAT
RUSSIA IS PREPARING TO
SHOW TURKEY SOMETHING

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 5.-Five
thousand troops have been ordered
from northern Caucasus to the Tur-
ko-Persian frontier, whittier soldiers
in small detachments have been
progressing steadily for several
weeks past.
This concentration is due to the
aggressive attitude of the Turks in
their frontier dispute with the Per-
slams. 1t is believed in st. Peters,
burg that Russia is about to under
take military demonstration
against Turkey.
The governments of Turkey and
Persia have been disputing about the
boundary line near Tabariz for some
time past, and the situation is a
serious one, as the interests of Ger
many, Great Britain and Russia may
bbe gravely affected by an outbreak
of hostilities. Turkish troops have
occupied Persian Turkey and COM
mitted devastations and there have
been serious disorders at Tabariz.
Russia is bound by treaty to help
Persia, and for several weeks past
there has been evidence that she
was preparing to send troops from
various places to aid her ally.

COUNT FEARS THAT MADAME's
SECOND CHOICE WILL NOT

CHILDREN

PARIS, Feb. 5.-In the trial of
Count Boni de Castel lane, which
TOOK place yesterday in the correc
tlonal court, the count admitted that
ne mad spat in the princes face and
that he had not sent seconds to his
cousin to arrange a duel as he knew
that the prince could not find any,
body who would be willing to rep
resent him on the field of honor.
Counsel for the count declared
that II his client had accepted the
Judgment of divorce from Madame
Gould it was because he recognized
he had wronged the wife whom he
respected.
In spite of the fact that they were
separated by law, Count Boni had
not been able to restrain his indig-
nation and anger when he heard
that the Prince de Sagan was going
to become the husband of the moth
er of his (the count's) children. He
considered also the interests of his
children, and was convinced that
Prince de Sagan could not be good
father to them.

several witnesses, Count Boni was
discharged Judgment in the case of

TRYING TO
wreck BANKS

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-For the
last week reports have reached one
or two large banks to the effect that
some one was calling up depositors
on the telephone and telling them
that the bank in which they had de-
posits was about to close. The at
tack seems to be directed mainly
toward one of the largest banks, al
though several others were also
mentioned.
The American Bankers associa-
ton has taken the matter up, and
several detectives, as well as a por-
ton of the city detective force, have
been put to work on the case. The
banks in question are entirely SOL
vent, and the telephone messages
have been sent with the evident in
tention of starting runs.
II is the general opinion in bank
ing circles that the rumors are be-
ing spread for the purpose OF affect
ing the stock market. It is, of
course, next to impossible to trace
the sender of the messages, but If he
or they can be found, criminal pros
ecutions will follow.
Spreading false reports regarding
a financial institution is felony un-
der the New York law, and is pun
ishable by fine not to exceed $4,000
and Imprisonment for period not
to exceed three years.
