New York, Feb. 5.-A sensational
tragedy occurred in the little village

killed Mrs. Elizabeth Rust, wounded
her two children as they stood cling
ing to her skirts, and then hanged him

Rust, divorced woman with two chill
dren, did servants work about the vii
lage. She boarded her children ir
Buckholt's home, and when she came
to see them Buckholt demanded an in
crease in the board she was paying. A
dispute followed, which enraged Buck

JACK PlNNS ON HEROISM.
"Bloon1in' Well Tired of It," Said

"Bloonin' Well Tired of It," Said
Republics Wireless Operator.
Jack Binns, the wireless operator of
the wrecked steamship Republic, does
not think much of the hero business.
"Oh, I tell you it's hades to be a
hero" he said while in Philadelphia to
see the play Via Wireless" "They
make a bloomin' fool of you and
crowd around you and ask you all
kinds of fool questions and don't give
you any time at all to sleep. I am get
ting bloomin' we'll tired of 1t. Yes,
now that you ask me, they have been
kissing me, too. some of the New York
women have 6ce, man, don't talk; it's
fierce"
''What's the matter, Binns? Didn't
you like the kisses?'
Its all right. I am not saying any
thing, but they ought to give a fellow
a rest and let him have a nice, quiet
smoke. Pm going right back to New
York in the morning an@. report to my
company. I want to g~ on another
boat and get back to sea again. Am 1
going on the stage? No, sir; never am
going on the stage. That's not my
business. l am a wireless operator.
That's my business, sir. might make
some money here, maybe, and when
went back to England everybody
would be laughing at me- Sure, any
body knows 1 didn't do anything
worth going crazy over I just did
what anybody else would have done
in my place. I am not stuck on my
self-now, don't you think that" ex-
planned Binns in a tone that left no
doubt about Jack Binns' decision not
to have his head turned.

Accompanied by Queen He
Visits Kaiser Today.
WERE WARMLY WELCOMED
Visit of the British Monarchs Is of the
Greatest Political Sinificance, as 1t
May Result In an Understanding
Tending to AIlay international Ten.
sion.

Berlin, Feb. 9.-King Edward, of
Great Britain, accompanied by Queen
Alexandra, arrived here today to visit
Emperor William and were warmly
welcomed by court officials and the
populace generally. Elaborate prepa-
rations were made for their reception
at every hand. The hearty goodwill
displayed toward the visiting sove =
eigns was at variance with the snarl-
ing mood maintained by the majority
of Britons and Germans towards one
another.
The visit of King Edward is regard
ed generally in itself as an event at
the present moment of the greatest
political significance, and with the
feeling that it would be an excellent
thing for both nations if the meeting
of the two monarchs resulted in a mu-
tual understanding tending to allay
international tension. From no quar-
ter, however, is the expectation voiced
with any confidence that the visit OF
the English king will produce direct
tangible effects.
The semi-official Nord Deutsche
Allegemeine Zeitung, in brief para
graph, makes reference to the occa-
sion, saying: 1--WE expect the meeting
to effect good in the relations between
the British and German peoples. The
demonstration of friendly feeling and
kinship to which the visit gives rise
will be a further encoura cement for all
who are striving, both in Germany and
England, against the estrangement Of
the two nations, and for those who
desire to lead the relations in a safe
direction. Assidious efforts will, how
ever, still be necessary to attain the
goal of enduring friendship, founded
upon mutual esteem between the two
greatest civilized nations. The visit
of the British monarchs and the re-
ception accorded them by Germany
means progress towards that end. In
this belief we hope the coming festivi
ties will be untroubled and that the
meeting will have favorable after
Effects
The German newspapers, in many
instances, are inclined to view the
kings visit as mere return of cour
tesy for the emperor's visit to Eng
land, adopting the tone that the Brit
ish nation is not with the king on his
journey to Berlin At the same time
the majority of the articles on this
subject are imbued with most friendly
politeness.

the Most Offensive Bill of All and
Is Unconstitutional - Racing Gets
Death Blow In California.
Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 5.-With the
defeat in the lower house of two of the
anti-Japanese measures, followed by
the unexpected passage of third bill
segregating Japanese school children
in separate schools along with Chi
nese, Koreans and other Asiatics,
President Roosevelt again has taken a
hand in the anti-Japanese legislation
that for the last week has drawn inter
national attention to California Hardly
had the bill been passed by the assem-
bly, before Governor Gillett received
the following telegram from the pres
ident:
washington, Feb. 4, 1909.
81. N. Gillett, Governor of Califor-
nia-Your kind letter just received.
What is the rumor that the California
legislature has passed bill excluding
the Japanese children from the public
schools? This is the most offensive
bill of all, and in my judgment is
clearly unconstitutional, and we should
at once have to test it in the courts.
Can 1t be stopped in the legislature
or by veto?
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The governor at once sent a reply,
the nature of which he declines at this
time to make public, and he requested
from the president an immediate an
swer.
By this action the lower house of the
California legislature has taken the
step which the board of education of
San Francisco intended to take two
years ago, which was abandoned after
the board and former Mayor Eugene
e. Schmidt were called to Washing
ton and had several conferences with
President Roosevelt.
At that time it was contended by the
Japanese that they were not "Orien-
tails" and they resented the efforts to
place them in the same class with the
Chinese, Koreans and other Asiatic
races.
Racing in the state of California re-
ceived a vital blow when the senate,
by a vote of 33 to T. passed the
Walker-O anti-race track gambling
bill, which prohibits pool selling, book
making or gambling on horse races.
The bill having already passed the as
sembly it will now go to the governor
for his signature, after which it will
become law. Governor Gillett has
signified his intention to sign the
measure.
