GEN. BUTLER DEAD
HE CONDUCTED OPERATIONS FOR
THE RELIEF OFLADYSMlTH.
FOUGHT BATTLE At COLENsO
He Was at the Head OF the British
Army in the South African
Transvaal.

London-Sir Redvers Henry Bull
Ter, the famous English general
who conducted the operations for the
relief of Ladysmith in the Boer war,
died Tuesday. He was born in 1889.
Gen. Sir Redvers Butler came into
considerable prominence during the
Boer war, between the Transvaal re-
public and Great Britain, in South
Africa. In October, 1899, an army
corps of $4,000 men was placed under
orders for South Africa and Gen. Bull
Ter vas gazetted as commander-in-
chief Of the expedition. He was hailed
as the man of the hour and he was
credited with saying he would "eat
Christmas dinner in Pretoria"
1t was during the siege of Lady
smith that Gen. Sir Redvers Butler
came most prominently into the lime
light. 1t was in December, 1899, that
Ladysmith was besieged by the Beers.
Sir George White was shut up in that
city with 10000 troops. When Gen.
Butler reached Natal he allowed him
self to be persuaded to abandon his
original plan of campaign. He decid-
ed to go at n to the relief of Lady
smith.
Historians and military authorities
have since agreed that Ladysmith did
not need relief. White had plenty of
stores and ammunition and could have
held out for some time. Be that as 1t
may, Gen. Butler started out to re-
lieve Ladysmith.
On December Is, after a dreary
wait, Butler attempted to fierce a pas
sage across the Tugela river, at Co.
lenso. His guns were ambusneu and
his entire force driven back by the
Beers.
1t was at this time that he sent the
message to Sir George white which
caused that general to SURRENDER Lady.
smith.
On the heels of this disaster. Gen.
Butler was relieved of the command
of the British army in South Africa
and was succeeded by Lord Roberts,
with Lord Kitchener under him.
Gen. Butler went back to England
and in after years he made various at
tempts to explain his action in regard
to Ladysmith.

SHAH WILL APPEAL TO CAR.
Persian Ruler in Hiding, VIII Go to
Russia.

Teheran-Yhile the present hid
ing place of the shah is not
definitely known, It is believed that
he will not return to the capitol before
paying a visit to St. Petersburg, in the
hope of getting the Gear to interfere
in the internal middle into which Per-
STA has been plunged.
1t has been demonstrated concIu-
sively that Shah Ali Mira cannot give
his country a peaceful administration,
and unless Russia, in conformity with
the Turco-Mantchay treaty, supports
the Kajar dynasty with armed inter-
vention, it is certain that the Shah
will be overthrow and his crown
taken from him.
The Shah, it is reported. will plead
personally before Gar Nicholas his in
ability to control the situation, and
will announce his willingness to let
Russia assume temporary control.

INDICT LAW-MAKER
CONGRESSMAN Is CHARGED WITH
FRAUD IN BANK FAILURE.
THREE OTHERS IN SAME BOAT
Accused Representative Says Men
Who Voted True Bill Are
His Enemies.

Norwalk, Ohio-As a result of
the grand jury investigation of
the recent, failure of the Ohio Trust
Company, four prominent citizens are
under indictment, including J. F. Ian
ing, republican congressman from the
14th Ohio district, and already renom-
mated by the district convention.
The others indicted are James G..
Gibbs, F. w. Christian and William
Perrin. These charges are made
against Laning:
Inducing people to deposit money In
the Ohio Trust Company by false
statements.
Appropriating stock owned by the
bank and using it as security for per-
sonal loans.
Fraud in the lease of the Harry
French property, Cleveland, to the
Bond Building Company, which Dor
rowed money on the property and
finally sold all of its 100000 stock to
the bank.
Laning charges that the grand jury
was made up from his enemies and
says he is innocent and will not re-
sign from the ticket, but will fight the
charges to a finish.
Other indictments probably will fol-
low the inquiry now being made by
the Jurors into the failure of the Nor
walk Savings Bank.

other day. Asked by Senator Bacon II
the provisions Of the employers liabil-
fly bill would not annul the state laws
on the subject, he replied they would
supersede' the state laws. Pressed to
explain, he said ito annul a statute is to
disregard it, to ignore it and render it
a dead letter, but to supersede it is to
overlay it with a greater jurisdiction"
Amidst laughter Mr.. Bacon retorted
that it was a distinction without a

they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby lever getting any better. His

and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
