BODY LIES 7
IN PRISON GRAVE
ALA, MURDERER OF FATHER
LEO HEINRICHS, EXECUTED
LAST NIGHT-WAS BURIED
TODAY ON HILLSIDE.

CANON CITY, July 16.-The
body of Giuseppe ALA, who was
hanged at the penitentiary here last
night for the murder of Father Leo
Heinrichs in st. Elizabeth's Catholic
church, Denver. February %, last,
was buried today in rude cofan in
the prison cemetery on the noun
tain side near the entrance Of the
Royal gorge. Ala died cursing the
priesthood and shouting Long live
Italy. Long live the protestants.
Many believe that the murder OF
Father Leo was part Of an anarcn-
istic plot against the Catholic clsr-
CIV. but nothing has recent trans
rired to substantiate this view
Previous to coming to Denver Faith
e, Leo lived at Paterson, j. Pat
erson is the headquarters OF the
franciscan monks in this country
and It has been thought possible
that he incurred the ennity OF some
one or perhaps a group OF anarch
lists there, personal in it's nature AM
applying only to him. HIS efea
popularity and goodness or near
went strongly to disprove thls INC
orv. and no evidence to support
has come to light.

TUGS ARE TIED UP
Two Buudred Men Refused 10 Go 10 Work IjuIess a Con.
 ference Was BeId.

New York, Dec 2.-Because the New York Central railroads marine superintendent refused to reinstate a tug-Doat crew he had discharged when they refused to work a half honr overtime last night without pay, the twenty-three tugs of the company did not move to-day.
 The crews of all these craft who handle the companys floats on East and North rivers and on the harbor, refused to begin work this morning, and added further demand that they be paid twice a month instead of monthly as heretofore. Two hundred men took part in the strike.
 The men held q meeting shortly after going on strike and decided to return to work pending a conference between their various committees and Assistant General Manager George Linn of the New York Gen. tral.

FOR HEROIC WORK
Engineer and Diver Praised in Re-
 port of Captain Marsh.

Washington, Dec 12. - Warm praise for heroic work on the part of Engineer Wotherspoon and a French Canadian diver named Micnot aboard the cruiser Yankee while an effort was being made to tow the vessel to New Bedford after she had been cleeared of Spindle Rock, is given in report to the navy department by Captain Charles c. Marsh of the vessel.
 The night of December 4th and 5th while the vessel was under tow Captain Marsh says was much the worst since grounding, the wind blowing with such force that had the ship been still on the rocks she would very likely have been fatally damaged. The report says in part:
 Hours were consumed in trying to tow the ship. Her draught II feet and 29 feet and the heavy list to starboard made steering impos- sible, so that she took rank shores, parting the hawsers, etc. By 8 D. m. the chief danger was loss of air pressure
 Some time in the early morning word came up that the air compres- sors had stopped. Also the news came of the open air port. This lat ter information was given to the en- gineer, MT Wotherspoon. He went below and then sent for diver. The behavior of these two men cannot go by unnoticed The open air port was in the state room on berth deck, starboard side, next to the air com pressors. Mir Wotherspoon went in- to this stateroOm and shut the door. He then tried to close the air port, got one dog partly in place and then hung up his lantern so as to use both hands. The light was blown out and he was left in total dark ness. The pressure against the port was too great for him and he found himself in water up to his neck in this closed state room. Fortunately the pressure eventually carried away the door and he was thrown out and into the berth deck. In the mean time French Canadian diver named Micnot put on his diving suit and in darkness went down in a sinking ship to lend hand at closing the air port. The diving pump was tend ed by MT Wotherspoon and one of the company whose name I do not remember. For devotion to their work and for courage I know noth- ing better than these actions

EVADES POLICE
New York Officials Bave Only Bloody Finger PriDis as a
 Clue 10 Murderer
WOMAN FOUND DEAD

New York, Dec 12.-With only the bloody finger prints of the mur- derer to assist them the police to- day are securing the city for some trace of the man who committed what now appears to be one of the most baffing crimes in the citys criminal history. His victim, the young woman whose body was found in a padlocked and barricaded apart ment at 337 East 1lth street last night has not yet been identified and thorough search of the rooms had revealed nothing which will aid the police in their task. Every disting- uishing mark had been removed in the woman's clothing and pictures had been cut from their frames and burned together with several pieces of paper which may have borne ad- dresses. On every hand there was to be found evidence of the craft and care used by the murderer to batiie pursuit. The discovery of the crime came about through the anxiety of the Janitress of the flat house to col feet rent for the apartment which was nearly two weeks overdue. The man and woman who occupied the rooms more than two months had paid promptly up to the first of the present mouth, but since that time, the apartment had been closed, the door locked with DadIOck on inc outside and neither the man nor the woman had been seen. Last night the janitress decided to enter the apartment to make sure the ten ants had not removed the trunks without her knowledge and the po- lice were called to assist her in open in the padlocked door When an entrance was forced the woman s body with the head almost severed was lying on the blood soaked bed The room was in confusion. Broken chairs were scattered about and wearing apparel which had been re- moved from an open trunk was scat tered about the room.
 Under the woman's s body lay a ra- zor it's edge hacked and broken. The condition of the body indicated that the woman had been dead not less than two weeks. On the door knob and on the sheets were the finger prints of the murderer.

TIME IN TURKEY.
The Hours Are Always Changing and
 Holidays Are Numerous.

In addition to laZiness in Turkey there is inaccuracy. The Turkish of ficial is naturally inaccurate, and habit and conceit make him more so. This perhaps is due to the way ill which Turkey measures time. Twelve o'clock in the day corresponds with sunset that is to say, whatever hour the sun sets, 1t must always be l2. Conse- quently the hours change always, get ting later the first half of the year and earlier in the last, which compels ev- erybody to put his watch to daily tor ture. So no one in Turkey can tiatter himself that he has the exact time. The most strict of Engishmen soon loses his national punctuality, so when two Turks make an appointment it is within the limit of half an hour or an hour, and even then they don't gen. orally arrive till after the time agreed on, each one calculating on the utmost possible delay on the part of the other
 Consequently the state employees are not bound down by very severe dis cipline. No one expects them to arrive at their office at any particular time, especially as the majority of them go hardly at all As for the most indus trious, they appear for two or three hours in the afternoon only, and rather late. In the morning state offices are usually closed. Besides this workdays are rather scarce for the race of off cials. Friday is the Sabbath of the Mohammedans. Saturday Is the day after feast day, and one does not do much then. Sunday the Greeks and ArmenianS remain, like good Chris. tians, at home, and the Mohammedans generally initiate so good an example. Monday is again the morrow of feast day. Wednesday there Is a meeting of the council of ministers, and few en- ployees go then to the ministry. With religious festivals added in, 1t Is easy to understand that out of the 365 days of the year there are not many left to con- secrate to the interests of the Otto- man empire. Nicholas C. Adossides in American Magazine.

STAGE HAS A PLAN
Build CisierDs and Store Up Rain Water For Future
 Use He Says.

Charles Stage of the Brooklyn dis at Chattanooga, Tenn. MT Stage says that when one considers how they manage to provide themselves with water at that place he wonders why he cannot do something in that line here. Many get all the water they need from the roofs of tn eir homes and is turned into a cistern or well and after it remains there fer shot time it is just as good for any pur- pose as we have in Waterbury. It is carried into cisterns through leaders just the same as we have here and during . r3in st,lm enough is secur- ed to last a family for months. They also use wells and they give excel lent~ satisfaction. Of course one wouldn't get much water off his roof in Waterbury the past three or four months, but this year was an eXcep- tion, and perhaps the few rainstOrm5 we had would have furnished enough water for domestic use if people had suitable storage for it. Mir Stage is or the opinion lndt the water lueS- tion can be settled here by building the Branch dam ten feet higher This would not cost much and the balance of the million dollars could be used in building q reservoir in some other district. In this way we would get far better results for the money invested than we can hope for g hold water than can be controlled by the one We have if it should be run little higher.

NEARING THE END
Some of ihe Bike Riders Are Away Ahead oi All Prevl.
 OuS Records.

New York, Dec 12.-With the end of their long journey a few hours distant, eight weary but determined riders were whirling around the big saucer shaped track at Madison Square garden to-day. Eight more men equally as worn by the fearful strain of the almost ceaseless grind in the six day bicycle race were snatching a brief rest before they were to be called upon to take up the struggle. The night had been a try ing one for all the men, one sprnit following another with scarcely a breathing interval and by morning every record for distance had been left far in the rear. For a time yes- terday the riders were many miles be- hind the mark set by Miller and Wal Ter in the famous race of 1899 but this loss was gradually cut down and during the night new records were established hour after hour and at s o'clock this morning the three lead ing teams were more than ten miles ahead of the mark established nine years ago.
 The fast pace of the night was steadily maintained during the early hours of the forenoon and the old record was constantly falling farther and farther behind.
 At 10 o'clock the three leading teams with Rutt and Stol in the van were more than fourteen miles ahead of the 1899 record. They had cover ed 2.50S miles laps against the old record of 2,494 miles laps for 130 hours There had been no change in the relative positions of the riders at that hour.
 The race at o'clock this after noon was as follows:

CASTRO IS ANGRY
He Thinks the French Govern. meni is Noi Showing Him
 Enough Honor.

Paris, Dec 12.-President Castro of Venezuela, who arrived here yes terday evening from Bordeaux, made no official visit to the French government up to noon to-day. He is represented as furiously angry at the manner in which the government is receiving him in France. Since his arrival in Paris he has remained shut up in his apartments in the hotel as closely as though he were prisoner, and barring a few members of the Venezuelan colony he has seen mo- body. The officials of the foreign of- flee have received formal orders to give no explanation of the govern ments attitude toward the president of Venezuela. We ignore his pres ence," an official said to-day. The conditions upon which the govern ment is willing to open negotiations have been communicated to him. What these conditions are beyond prohibiting Presidenf CYtro from making any political declaration is not known, but it is believed they in volve formal apology A reporter called to see the president this fore noon. The only member of Castro's entourage visible said that nothing had been decided, but the party DOS sibly would leave for Germany to- morrow. A black maid in the ser vice of Madame Castro was sitting in hall outside her mistress's door trying to get her foot into a newly purchased pointed French shoe. The French newspapers generally poke fun at the dictator" of Ven ezuela, nevertheless they insist that the government explain the reasons that induced it to change it's attitude toward him.

NOSE IN SAND
Lille German Steamer Is Now Bard and Fast Agronaj on
 LoDg Island Sbore.

New York, Dec 12.-While nosing her way along the Long Island shore through dense fog early to-day the little German freight steamer liar bury ran her nose into the sand half a mile from Beleport life saving station where she now lies hard and fast aground. Her postioon is an easy one and as the sea is smooth with scarcely a breath of wind she is in no immediate danger. Wreck CTS will be sent to her assistance at once and an effort will be made 10 float her before the favorable condi- tions change. The Harburg was bound from Dewey, England for New York with a cargo of pipe clay, She has ac rev of about 25 men and carried no passengers. The crew re- mained on board to give what assist ance they could in getting the steam CT into deep waters.
 The Harburg is owned by the German-Australian Steamship Co. cf Ilu dllu W do Dulll lIUe ytdl D ago at Flensburg. She is of 2,S57 tons burden, 399 feet long, AZ feet beam and 2S feet in depth. She is scheduled to sail for Australia and New Zealand ports after disch arg ing her present cargo
 Life savers from the Belleport station were on the beach soon after the steamer grounded. They quick ly shot line through the Harburg' s rigging but the officers did not at tempt to pull the life saving apara- tus off the steamer. The life savers waited until daylight and then boarded the steamer from their surf boat. They found the steamer in no danger. The wrecking steamer l. J. Merritt was soon summoned from New York an dthe revenue cut ter Mohawk left the harbor at 9:30 a. m. on her way to Bellport
