ALLEN ID MAKE l. HIS REPORT ON
 . LIGHT TUESDAY

When the city council shall hold it's meeting next Tuesday night, among other matters to come up will be the gooseneck light affair. Alderman l.. R. Allen stated yesterday that he, tee presented his report to his con freres in the city legislature each month, and that this report was not due until the regular meeting, and hence was not presented Tuesday. He added that this report would be ready at the meeting next week, and would then be presented and read.
 The report of the lighting commit tee, Alderman stated, would tell his side of the story. and would open up an entirely different aspect in the sit. uation from any which has yet been presented in the press or in the talk about the streets. Until this report is ready and has been received by the council, Alderman Allen said he had no statement to make for publication. Meantime the citizens are taking sides and are forming their opinions of the rights of the matter in advance of hearing any defense from Alderman Allen.
 In addition to the gooseneck light matter the street railway proposition will also be up at the regular meeting next Tuesday night, and the regular routine business of the city will be transacted. Much interest is felt in many of the matters which will be be- fore the board, and a large attendance of spectators may be expected to be on hand.

NINE IS WINNER GAME
 IN DOUGLAS
lSIecial to ReYieWl

DOUGLAS. July 2s.-Bisbee. 1: Douglas, ?. was the result of today's game at Sportsman park. The visi- tors had by far the best of the argu- ment. and won a deserved victory.
 From the game that the Muckcrs put up here today against the De mons it Is evident hat the Copper City aggregation have caught their strite and are in the running. If there are any knockers up at the Copper camp they had better throw their hammers away and get in and root, for Bisbee has good team and must be reck oned with by the best of them.
 The MuCKers started scoring in the second. wher they made ;wo runs. and they duplicated the performance by heavy stick work in the fifth. The Demons tailed once in the fourth and again in the fifth. but for the rest of the game the batters were largely at the mercy of Peebles
 The features of the game were q double play by Douglas and the home run hit Of Ward and the three-sacker that Dorsch pasted out. rede a-ning TWO costly errors

COMMIT FOUL CRIME.
SIX PERSONS ARE MURDERED BY
BAND OF ROBBERS
At Hurley, W. Va, Who Burn the
House of Their Victims With
Five of the Bodies.

An entire family of six persons
were murdered and the bodies Of
all but one of the victims were burn
ed with their home at Hurley, Bu-
chanan county, Virginia, early Thurs
day. The tmotive was eTeidently
robbery, as the owner of the house,
an aged woman, known as Aunt
Betty" Justis, was supposed to have
kept a large sum of money about
the place.
Mrs. Justice, her son-in-laW,
George Meadows, his wife and their
three children were the victims.
Meadows body, badly mutilated'
was found lying in the yard OF his
destroyed home, the funeral pyre of
his loved ones Two bullet holes
Through the body and a ghastly
wound in the neck, which almost
severed the head from the body,
gave the discoverers their first evil
dence of the extent of the tragedy.
A search of the ruins of the house
disclosed sickening spectacle. The
blackened masses of half burned
flesh and charred bones of two wo-
men and three children were found
beneath the debris, each body bear
ing evidences of murder committed
before the house was destroyed by
fire, evidently for the purpose of
hiding the crime. The elder woman's
skull was upturned some distance
from the remainder of. her half
burned body amid the smouldering
ruins.
Another daughter of Mrs. Justis
told the police that her mother had
large sum of money buried under
the sill of the house, and they sue
ceeded in digging up $3.50 in gold
and silver. The murderers are sup
posed to have secured the $500
which Aunt Betty" always carried
on her person.
Bloodhounds were rushed to the
scene and in a short time they took
the trail of the supposed murderers
in a cornfield which Joined the Jus.
tbs home. There the foot prints OF
three men were found impressed In
the soft soil. A posse of citizens
heavily armed, are following the
bloodhounds, bent on lynching the
murderers if they are captured.

tied up promptly at the end Of three
weeks.
Farnum represented a number of
houses, including the Richiand Dis
tillery Company, Lanahan, the Big
-Four and others. When working
for Farnum he visited the dispensers,
induced them to order the stuff.
He sent a copy of this order to Far
mum and another to the State dis
pensary.
Under the cross oss-eXamination Sam
uels said he came here very often
several years to visit woman of
i'll repute. He gave this woman
money to build a house. He also
played cards sometimes for money.
II got no rakeoff on this draft" he
cause l got my orders and made
my money on these commissions paid
me-"
The witness got checks from
Farnum in 1907 and 1908, the larg-
est being for $500. In 1906 the
only check he received was for $500.
This was for work of three weeks
but Farnum and Wylie fell out over
the manner of shipping Long Horn"
to dispensers.
He paid Wylie on $50 cases of
goods one-half of the commission
amounting to $500.
Nobody could get any business
down there unless they paid COM
missions to the board" said the wit
ness.
The witness evidently had consid-
erable trouble with the dispensary
commission. He was summoned to
appear, according to his statement,
and at once consulted an attorney
now connected with the defense.
This attorney said there was no oc-
casion for q lawyer in case where
Samuels had been summoned as a
witness. The witness after consid-
erable questioning finally admitted
the testimony brought out above.
He said that he had been advised
by his attorney, Mr.. Paul Hemphill,
to tell everything and it would prob
able be to his advantage.
"And you are not going to be
prosecuted" queried the defense.
81 understood that's what it meant
but j have never been told so. My
attorney told me not to worry, !"
was the response.
Samuels produced little memo
randum book showing the commits
sions paid and the schedule required
by the board.
Wylie had prepared the schedule
and he. the witness, always paid the
rate fixed by Wylie.
The book was introduced in evil
dence and then there was a pleasant
little spat between the attorneys on
the admission of the book. Judge
'Memminger ruled that it was evil
dence. The commissions paid were
given to Wylie. He was also paid by
Farnum for work done among the
county dispensaries but this amount
ed to little.
J. A. v. Schmidt of St. Louis was
then called and testified that he is
employed by the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing association. This was all
asked the witness.
Mr.. Stevenson then announced that
the State rested its case.

final conference with President Lewis,
Of the United Mine Workers of America.
at the headquarters of the Central La
Dor Union.
Nothing was given out for pubiica-
tion when the miners adjourned. The
outlook is threatening, both sides to
the controversy being agreed that a
definite conclusion for either peace or
war will be reached at the conference.
The committee of miners appointed by
the Scranton convention two weeks ago
and empowered to come to the best
agreement possible met the operators
in the offices of President Baer, in the
Reading Terminal, at o'clock.
Although the miners general commit
tee is composed Of thirty members, but
seven of these met the operators. Pres

that the full strength Of the anti-Mc-

MRS. M'LEAN HERE
PREPARED FOR FRAY
Comes to Preside Over Final Meeting of National Board
Before D. A. r. Convention Story, Her
Choice of Successor, Also Present

Mrs. Donald Mclean, president gen
eral OF the Daughters Of the American
Revolution. confident of the success of
the administration slaSe at the ap-
preaching annual convention which will
elect officers, reached Washington this
morning to preside over the final meet
ing of the national board, prior to the
convention.
At this same meeting was Mrs. Will
lam Cummings Story, State regent of
New York. who. as exclusively announc-
ed in The Times yesterday, practically
has been decided upon by the ''insurg-
ents" as the logical candidate to op-
pose Mrs. Matthew Scott, named by
the Mclean faction to. be the successor
OF the present president general.
Mrs. Story. however. in advance of
the formal announc cement of her can
didacy, which is expected within a
short time, is saying nothing regard
ing the insurgent movement. Mrs.
Mclean, with a peculiar smile, ex-
pres sed the belief this morning that
the election Of Mrs. Scott was practi-
cally assured and seemed not to take
seriously the rURors that there was
to be decided opposition to her.
The morning session of the national
board was devoted mainly to routine
matters and the perfection OF plans for
the annual convention which meets here
April II. According to the president
general, $40 new members We're admit
ted to the society today, and il was
found to be in most fiourtshing con-
ditiOn financially. More than $50, 900 was
reported in the treasury, exclusive or

the completion of Continental Hall, a
project in which Mrs. Mclean has been
vttally interested during her entire ad-
ministratiOn.
There may be a short meeting of the
board, attended by many members who
are unable, by reason of the distance, to
attend the regular monthly meetings on

FEELING IS INTENSE
AGAINST PANESE
Murderer's Confession Adds
Fresh Fuel to Flame in
California.

GILROY, Cal, April 1.-The racial
feeling against the Japanese. already
crowded TO the danger point, has had
fresh fuel added to II as the result OF
revelations az the preliminary hearing
OF Y Yashimuca, accused of the brutal
murder of John Kyne. a railway sec
tion boss. last November. He was ar
rested in. Salt Lake. and when he was
arraigned, admitted the killing.
The police allege that. en- route from
salt Lake. Tsshimuca confessed to two
officers that the killing was the result
of conspiracy entered into b. fifty
Japanese section men.
Kyne had kept @hem hard at work
and constantly cursed them for not dis
playing more activity. Finally they
agreed, according 10 the alleged con-
fessiOn. that they would no longer brook
insults. Four Japanese were selected
by lot to kill Kyne. They entered the
car and drove out three men who were
there with the section boss. While his
companions kept them away, Tashimu-
ca hit Kyne on the head with hammer,
beating out his brains
Yashimuca was held without bail for
trial. and the others implicated IN the
confession are being searched for. The
statement regarding the killing has
stirred up very bitter feeling against
the japanese.
