bott, and will write on political and

ing houses. Il was announced final
ly that he had made contract with
Charles Scribner's Sons for the
story of his big game hunt.
Details of this contract have never

admitted officially that 1t is in ex-
istence. BY Il Mr. Roosevelt is to

1t was said on behalf of the Scrib-
ner firm that its contract with Mr..
Roosevelt had neither been modified
nor abrogated II was added that
the contract is for exclusive work

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
Beautiful Girl Wearing Diamonds
Goes To Her Death.

New York Especially Apparently
disappointed in love, Dora Abrams,
a strikingly beautiful young woman,
"a years old, was found dead in her
apartments, SO Gerry Street, Will
liamsburg, one of the most dramatic
cases of suicide the police have had
to deal with in years.
Every crack and crevice in the
doors and windows OF her apart
ment had been carefully sealed with
paper and cloth. This task, the po-
lice say, must have required three
hours of time. Not trace was found
of any letters, nor is there any other
means of ascertaining who her rela-
tiyes are and where she came from.
The girls body was found lying
in her kitchen. She had dressed her
self in her finest clothes, wearing all
her jewelry. One end of a rubber
hose was tied to her mouth with
a silk handkerchief and the other
end was fastened to a small gas
stove. On the girls fingers were
three diamond rings, in her ears were
diamonds, and she had carefully AZ
ranged her hair before lying down
to die

Toxic (By Cable) Leading diplo-

of a conference of powers Interested
in the Pacific that It is almost GER
tain japan will issue the call for
such a conference If the initiative
is not taken by either England or

A few of those who expressed
themselves today as unreservedly IN
favor of the proposal are Baron kato,

Haseba, parliamentary leaders; M.
Oishi and NJ. Matsuda, former cab
met ministers, and Professor To.
micw, an authority on international
law.
Almost Unanimous For Conference
This list of names could be multi
piled indefinitely, for the japanese
opinion is almost unanimous that the
time has come for a clearly defined
statement regarding the future ac-

America in the Orient are rapidly
expanding and must soon clash un-
less a permanent understanding is
reached at a conference called as
speedily as possible.
Americans Privately Favor Plan.
None of the officers of the Amer.
ican fleet will allow himself to be
quoted on the proposition, but II
private talks many of them have
heartily indorsed the idea.
The reason for much of Japan's
enthusiasm in the conference matter
is the attempt to stir up a feeling
in America for an alliance between
America and Japan. Japan holds
that she is the natural ally for either
England or America, or both, in the
control of the Pacific.

FOREIGN Mine
EXPERTS VIEWS
Recommendations For Minimizing
Disasters.
The Commission Appointed to Inves-
tigate Conditions in American Col
lieries Submits Its Reports-Some of
the Suggestions Madc-Use of Elec-
tricty Important.

Washington. d. c. Especially I'm
portant suggestions for minimizing
loss of life in the coal mines of the
United States are contained in a re-
port lust submitted to President
Roosevelt through Secretary Gar
field by the three foreign mining
experts who have investigated con-
ditions In American mines. These
experts, Captain Arthur Desborough,
OF England; Vict Watteyne, of Bel
GUM, and Carl Meissner, of Ger
many, came to this country six weeks
ago at the Invitation of the United
States government 10 assist in the
movement lookin toward q reduc-
tion of disasters In American mines.
In transmittiLg the report to the
President, Secreta Garfield, of the
Interior Departn stated that the
recommendation IF the experts will
be of the high importance in aid
ing Congress aAd the different State
governments in providing legislation
which will insure more efficient and
careful operation of coal mines,
through the adoption of methods that
will materially aid in preventing the
terrible losses of life that have oc-
Cured through mining explosions in
recent years"
The recommendation of the eX-
perts, which will be printed as a
bulletin by the Geological Survey and
distributed among coal mine opera
tors and miners, refer to conditions
which more than 100000 miners are
subjected to each day. The examina-
ton of explosives by the government
with a view to eliminating the more
dangerous kinds and to improving
and standardzing the most suitable
for mining purposes is recommended
That operators should select those ex-
plosives which can be used to the
best advantage under local condi-
tions; that all explosives should be
made into cartridges and placed in
closed receptacles before being TAX
en- into the mine; that shooting in or
off the solid should not be practiced
and that the use of larger charge
than is required should be avoided
are the contentious of the experts.
That greater care should be ex-
ercised where gas or dust is known
to occur in the mine, and that wa
tering should be more effective are
also suggested in the report.
Recommendation regarding new
construction, shaft lining, super
structure, ventilation and haulage
are made.
The experts attach much import
ance to the use of electricity for min
ing operations and for shot firing
as of value in safeguarding the lives
of the miners.
1t is the opinion of the experts
that safety and efficiency in coal min
ing would be greatly aided through
the establishment and maintenance
in the different coal regions of specia
schools for training fire bosses, mine
foremen, superintendents and inspec
| tors.
The foreign experts deplore wha'
they term the large and permanent
| loss of coal in mining operations II
many portions of the United States
which they argue might be prevented
through the introduction of more ef
ficient methods.

NIGHT RIDERS
LYNCH LAWYERS
Colonel Tay,Or and Captain Ranki1
Strung Up at Night.

Union City, Tenn. (Speclal).-
Col. r. z. Taylor, aged GO years,
and Capt Quinten Rankin, both
prominent attorneys of Trenton,
Tenn, were taken from Wards
Hotel, at Walnut Log, Tenn, 10
miles from here by masked Night
hiders and murdered. Captain RAM
kins body was found riddled with
bullets and hanging from a tree one
mile IRON the hotel. Efforts TO To-
cate the body of Colonel Taylor have
been futile, but it is believed that
he was also killed.
Sheriff Eastwood and a posse of
armed men lett Union City for the
scene of the murder. IL they meet
any of the Night Riders it is expected
that pitched battle will be fought.
Sheriff Haynes, of Lake County, is
also on his way to the scene with
a posse from Tiptonville.
The trouble which resulted in the
death of Captain Rankin and prob
able murder OF Colonel Taylor was
caused by the passage of an act by
the Legislature regulating fishing in
Reel Foot Lake, short distance
from Walnut Log. Night Rider dis
turbances over the same matter oc-
Cured about year ago. Ever since
then Colonel Taylor and Captain
RANKIN have been in constant re-
ceipt Of threatening letters, to which
they paid little heed.
Mr.. Ward, the manager of the
Ward Hotel at Walnut Log, tele-
phoned Sid Waddell, a stockholder
in the West Tennessee Land Com
pany, stating that about 25 masked
Night Riders came to his hotel at
midnight. According to this report,
the Night Riders lined up outside
the hotel, pulled out their revolvers
and called Colonel Taylor and Cap
tain Rankin. The two men did not
suspect trouble and came down i'm
mediately.
AS the attorneys passed into the
front yard of the hotel the riders
covered them With their revolvers.
| Before Captain Rankin and Colonel
Taylor had opportunity to retire
they were surrounded and seized
| They were put on horses behind

edge of Reel Foot Lake, the Night
Riders pulled out rope with which
they had provided themselves and
placed the moose about Captain Ran
kin's neck.
Examination of the scene of the
murder failed to reveal evidence of
any struggle. Captain Rankin was
strung up from a limb on the bank
of the lake for the fishing privileges
OF which he had ontended with the
Night Riders. The masked men then

New Orleans Especially On her
bridal trip, which had begun scarcely
an hour before, and seated in a rail-
road coach almost between her hus-
band and a former suitor for her
hand, Mrs. Fred Van Ingen saw the
flash of the suitor revolver, felt the

bullet killed him and then fought for
her life. When the girl appeared
about to become the victim of the
second bullet from the revolver, her
uncle, a man with gray hair, but
strong and cool under the excite
ment. rushed in and thrust his thumb
beneath the hammer of the revolver,
rendering the weapon harmless.
