Sequel of Trunk Mystery.

San Francisco, March 1.-Wheth-
er the death sentence will be execu-
ted on Mrs. Emma La iDoux, who
was convicted of the murder of her
husband. A. N. McVicar, to hide a
bigamous marriage to La Doux, will
probably be decided this month by
the California Supreme court. The
conviction and sentence of the wo-
man was the sequel to the famous
trunk mystery" which agitated all
California, when the body of a man
was found in baggage Office.
At the trial of the case it was
proved by the district attorney that
McVicar had been poisoned. His
body was found in trunk at Stock
ton railway station, where it had
been taken for shipment to San
Francisco. Mrs. La Doux claimed
that the man died from natural
causes, and that she had put the
body in the trunk at the command
Of a stranger, who has never APP
peared and whom she has never been
able to produce.
After the discovery of the body
Mrs. La Doux fed from Stockton but
was arrested two days later in Anti

Duke Ieinster is %.

London, March 1.-One of the
most notable figures in the House of
Lords, Maurice Fitz Gerald, sixth
Duke of Leinster, and premier duke
of Ireland, is today receiving the
congratulations of his colleagues
upon attaining his 22nd birthday.
The young duke belongs to one of
the greatest families in Irish history
being a direct descendent of the
Maurice Fitz Gerald who took part
in the expedition which resulted in
England's gaining her first foothold
on Irish soil. This noble received as
reward a large estate belonging to
the vanquished chief.
One of the most picturesque fig
ures in Irish history is Lord Edward
Fitzgerald, who espoused the cause of
Irish freedom in 1898. He was con-
demned to death as a rebel and for
time lay hidden in friends house
in Dublin. Information Of his hid
ing place having reached the govern
ment, a force of soldiers was sent
to arrest him. Before he was taken
from the house the Geraldin had
killed two of the party with dag.

himself and died in prison few
days later.
The mother of the present duke
Of Leinster was considered one oil
the most beautiful women of hel
day. She was splendid horse wo
man and often followed the hounds
with the Kildare pack. The Duches:
was renowned for her devotion tt
charitable causes and graced many
functions held for that object. Since
her death, the dukes father having
died several years before, the affair!
of the present holder of the family
title were arranged by a family
council.

Lawyer Patrick Seeks Liberty

New York, March /. Lawyer AL
bert T. Patrick, now serving life
sentence in Sing Sing prison for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, a
Texas millionaire, in September,
1900, was given hearing today on
writ of habeas corpus issued by
Judge William ]. .Gaynor, of the ap-
pelate division of the New York SUI
preme court. This is the twenty
third time that Patrick, through his
attorneys, has sought to secure lib
erty.
His petition was submitted by Will
liam L. Mcdonald, acting as special
counsel, and Patrick himself will
ask the court to be allowed to take
part in the proceeding as attorney.
1t is stated that the precise ques-
tons raised in this petition have
never been passed upon. The prin-
cipal contention is that the then
Governor Frank w. Higgins, who on
December 20, 1906, committed Pat

UNDER INDICTMENT
Officers Of the Booth Fish and Oyster
Trust Charged with Conspiracy.

Trust Charged with Conspiracy.
Chicago, Feb. 81. w. Vernon
Booth, president Of A. Booth & Co.,
The so-called fish trust, which went
into the hands of a receiver last
September, and F. R. Robbins, for
mer assistant treasurer, was indict-
ed today. They with others, to the
grand jury unknown, were charged
with entering into a conspiracy by
means which they secured with full
maliciously, feloneously, etc., three
hundred thousand dollars from the
Continental National Bank of Chi
cago. The firm had previously been
brought to trial on the charge Of
accepting rebates and pleaded guilty
to one count. That case is still
under consideration.
Search made for the assets by
the Master in Chancery Harry,
Booth on behalf of the creditors dis
closed liabilities estimated at over
six million dollars, while the assets
dwindled as the investigation pro-
ceeded and have been officially es-
timated as low as three million. This
investigation has not been concluded
and sensational testimony was re-
ceived from Robbins. He told startl-
ing story of false statements pre-
sented to banks to bolster up the
credit of the company. The state
ments increased the assets and re-
duced the liabilities, and Robbins
stated that when Booth learned the
conditions he demanded true
statement to the banks. Bonds have
been fixed at $4,000 in each case.

ing his early acquaintance which
began in 1890 when both occupied
subordinate positions in the Harri-
son administration" Taft emphasis
es agreement of views OF proper po-
litical ideals and methods, Roose-
velt's loyalty to colleagues, his readi-
ness to admit his own errors. He
continues by saying that Roosevelt

gan to force it's way through the
clouds. The sudden blizzard caused
an abandonment of the outdoor
ceremonies much to Taft's chagrin,
and it threatened for time to stop
the brilliant afternoon pageant.
However, a passage way was cleared
along PENNSYLVANIA avenue and for

United States" said Taft, meeting
Roosevelt at breakfast this morning,
and the president Joined by saying
II knew it would be a blizzard up to
the moment went out of Office"
Taft was disappointed when
reaching the capitol at about eleven
and found the committee of arrange
ments had practically abandoned
hope of out door ceremony.
When the president and Mr.. Taft
were announced at the main door
of the senate chamber the audi
forum held probably the most brill
liant assemblage of dignitaries Of
the state and nation, uniformed
ambassadors, ministers, special rep
resentatives from practically every
nation Of the world. laundering
cheers greeted Roosevelt and Taft
as they walked down the aisle and
standing until both were seated.
The inaugural ceremonies were be-
gun when Vice President Fairbanks
in his farewell address declared the
siXtieth congress at an end. Turn
ing to Sherman he administered the
oath and turned over the gaval.
Sherman raped the senate to order
for the special session of the sixty
first congress, said that the Chief
Justice will now administer the oath
to the president-elect. Hust fell on
the assemblage and Taft arose re-
peated the words of the oath in a
slow and distinct voice when at last
he kissed the bible which was greet
ed with outburst Of applause.
Taft won immediate applause in
his inaugural address with the open
ing declarati n he would continue
the Roosevelt policies. At the con-
clusion of the exercises Taft was es-
corted out of the main door amid
an ovation. Great crowds outside
caught up the cheering as President
and Mrs. Taft stepped into the car
rage for drive to the White House.
Magnificent in splendor and pre-
senting scene of rare beauty which
quickened every human emotion the
inaugural ball tonight was the cli-
max of the day for William Fl. Taft.
Fully ten thousand people from all
stations Of life were gathered in the
vast hall of the Pension office, which
resembled dream fairy land
Taft appeared particularly light
hearted as with Mrs. Taft and Vice
President and Mrs. Sherman led

ton committee of which Gen. Blair
was chairman and Thomas r. Walsh,

Washington, Feb. 27.-There will
be no statehood legislation for New
Mexico and Arizona during the pres
ent session of congress. At meet
ing of the territories committee to
day all members, regardless of
party, after sensational session,
abandoned consideration of the
house bill. This action was taken
after the reading of the report and

New Mexico.

Curry and others had made trips

land fraud cases. Miss Lawler,
stenographer, who assisted in land
fraud cases, made the statement in
dicating that the lives of the gov
eminent agents were in danger so
long as they persisted in investigat-

cussion today, the time being wholly
consumed by the presentation of
statements, and recognizing that
whether the statements were true
or not, the question could not be
disposed of at the present session.

Kaiser,s Wedding Anniversary,


Berlin, Feb. 27.-All Germany is
today celebrating the wedding of the
Emperor and Empress. A family
gathering is held today at the pal
ace, and the royal pair received mes
sages of congratulation from all the
monarchs of Europe.

Friedrich Wilhelm, then crown
prince of the empire of United Ger

then a girl barely 20 years of age.
There was great rejoicing through
out Germany on that day, and the
anniversary has always been remem-
bered by the German people, and
never more enthusiastically than to-
day.
Many are the stories told of the
first meeting of Friedrich Wilhelm
and his queen to be. One relates
how he watched the princess play
ing tennis, himself unobserved be-
hind hedge, and how at once he
decided that this 1.-the, long-limbed,
comley girl was fit to become the
mother of an empires heirs. But
there is another and a newer YER
sion of the meeting, coming out of
Germany itself, and far too good
either to re-write or abbreviate. Here
1t is:
Gin the depth of the park, where
the sun shown gently through the
cool, green veil, gliding here and
there with pinkish gold the points of
the spears of grass through the in
terstices of the foliage, a hammock
was swinging between two rose-gar-
landed frs, and in that hammock
fast asleep, lay girl whose rounded
cheeks were flushed with warm,
healthy shellpink.
"She was young, barely more than
twenty, with softly chisled features,
hair sombre gold in the shadow but
where the truant sun rays touched
1t the hue of liquid topaz-light and
sparkling, indeed, as if delicately
powdered with jewel dust-and a
pretty mouth half parted in smile,
as if her dreams were singularly
pleasing ones.
'.She wore a garden frock of light
muslin, the soft, billowy folds show
ing to immense advantage her slen-
der reclining form, while some stray
petals, waited by the light breezes
from the roses above her, gave here
and there touches in satiny red and
pale yellow.
Suddenly the branches of a 81.
berian pine were gently parted, and
young man, erect and graceful
stepped into the bower, while the
voice youthful and we'll modulated
