ST. ALBANS, England, Sept. 27.-As full
OF charm and welcome to the wanderer to-
day are some OF the inns of old England
as ever they we're in the days OF the pic
turesque coach and horseback locomotlon.
To be sure, mine host rarely stands now
in the doorway. as he is pictured In some
of the old prints, but his greeting, when
he is In personal attendance, is polite or
hearty as beflts the occasion, and that of
his son, daughter or servant is respectful
and is distinctly a welcome, There is not
about It that air OF tolerance only which
too often characterizes the personnel Of the
small country hotel at home.
Only once in the course of rambles in the
south, the north and the midland counties
of England has the writer on the present
visit come upon one of the accommodate
ing" landlords with whom all are familiar
who travel at times among the small com
munltles OF the United States, and that
time. to be strictly accurate, was at what
should be described rather as a small hotel
than as an inn. It was at a sma;i summer
ing place in YORKSHIRE and should have
been an inn, but the two summer hotels OF
the resort were too much In their preten-
tious dignity for this. the third and last
and eldest of the three-of the public houses
of the place, or rather, II should be said,
too much for the modesty OF the landlord
= so he called his inn a hotel.
Upon being asked II he had a room for
the traveller on a crowded Saturday night
when his competitors were overrun with
week-enders. he turned to his young woman
clerk and asked her-it seemed as II a bit

at the inns is OF the more agreeable
kind. and Furthermore it does not mean

FIRE IS CONSUMING
QUAKE-WRECKED
MESS|NA
UNCONTROLLABLE FLAMES ARE
DEVOURlNG RUINS AND IN
GENERATING BODIES.

MeSslna, Jan. ia serious fire
broke out here today among the ruins
of the earthquake wrecked city. The
remains Of the Pennesi palace fell and
added to the conflagration. The
flames are spreading in spite of the
work of the soldiers to control them
and the situation is serious The odor
of burning flesh is mingled with the
smoke and it is feared that persons
still alive are being consumed
The flames had their center in the
Pennesi palace, but they spread over
the ruins of the city. The long tongues
of fire leaped upward, the sparks fall
ing in a heavy shower for a consider
able distance. The heat was very
great The alarm was sounded, while
the warships in the harbor blew their
fog horns and soldiers We're hurried to
the scene. No victims of the flames
have yet been reported.
The Duke of Genoa made a heroic
rescue of a demented woman, who in
sisted upon forcing her way into a
burning pile of ruins to save her
husband
strong wind helped to spread the
flames and the men experienced great
difficulty in working the pumps What
remains of the beautiful promenade
along the harbor front undoubtedly
will be destroyed. 1t is supposed
that the flames have been latent I'M
der the wreckage for days and that
the high wind of last night famed
them into activity.

tain division, was not attended by
any official eclat and was conduct
ed only by the officials in charge
of the train. 1t is now understood
that the line will be used regu-
larly. beginning with today and all
westbound business will be moved
that way.
AS announced in The Daily Mis-
soulian last Sunday morning. there
are three new stations on the cutoff
viz: Forsev, Pontus and Sheep
Creek.
Eastbound traffic will continue to
reach Missoula over the Evaro
mountain unless the floods inter
fere with this arrangement. Early
this morning the Jocko river bridge
was declared safe for traffic and
large force of men was engaged
in filling in all the washed out
places between Dixon and Ravalli.
No further damage is expected from
high water as the flood is reported
to be diminishing in volume.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
IN HANCOCK
MURDER
EFFORTS TO SECURE TANGIBLE
CLUES IN SENSATIONAL
CASE, ARE FRUlTLEss.
to The Daily Missoulian.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, Jan. 19.-The Hancock
murder mystery grows and becomes
lightning-like changes almost every
passing hour. Except for the evidence
tending to incriminate Richard Holt,
Mrs. Hancocks paramour, there Is no
other clue, unless it be that attached
to a tall slender man, hidden in an
overcoat, who, less than "a hours after
Hancock was killed, paid midnight
call upon Mrs. Hancock and then was
swallowed up in the darkness This
was not Holt, for the latter was un-
der arrest.
When the inquest was resumed this
evening it was the confident belief
of those having inside information
that the mystery would be solved
before midnight, but instead of that
it was shrouded in a still deeper mys-
terry, and adjournment was taken un-
til Friday night.
New Features.
Many new features were injected
into the case tonight. Rev. G. K. Mill
Ter, who lives near st. Johns hospi-
tai testified that he and his wife
came home Friday evening shortly
after 10 o'clock and saw man, tall
slender and wearing sack coat and
slouch hat, come furtively from
the alley leading to the hospital. He
looked over his shoulder frequently,
and stopped as if to avoid identifica-
tion and then disappeared.
Mrs. Hancock was called and she
testified that less than a week before
her husband was killed he said to
her: IF ever / kill anyone, kid, or
l am killed by someone, it will be
over this ore and you will know who
done it,"
Mrs. Hancock claimed her husband
had been carrying a revolver to pro-
tect himself from the writer of
threatening letters and that several
times he had mentioned Samuel
Walker as his enemy.
Witness Denies.
S. s. Walker, president of the
Mount Helena Miners union, was then
called to the stand. Briefly the coun-
ty attorney asked if it were not a
fact that last August, when Walker
and Hancock were working the Whit
latch under lease and royalty bon
us, that they high-graded rich
streak of ore they found, divided it,
and that Walker pounded out his
gold in an old cabin, sold the gold
and blew in the money and then went
after Hancock to secure some of his
share. The witness denied it. He de-
MED ever having written to Hancock
or of having had any more than
disagreement with him.
He was unable to explain where he
was after 10 o'clock Friday night and
remembered nothing more until he
arose the next morning. His wife told
him he got home at / o'clock
When Walker left the stand James
Hay whispered to the county attorney
and a little later Hay, John Taylor
and S. c. Boyce took the stand and
proved an alibi for Walker, swearing
he was in the Exchange saloon, beast
ly drunk, from 10 to / o'clock Friday
night.
Walker recently offered a reward
of $50 for the apprehension of Han
cocks murderer

GlLLETT SAYS CALIFORNIA WILL
NOT ENACT THE PROPOSED
RABID MEASURES.
AUTHORIZES ASTATEMEnT
Of Assembly Have Reached Agrss-
rrent Not to Pass Bills Now Pend.
ing Before Legislature Of Sunset
State-Heated Contest Is Expected.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 19.-AccOrd-
ing to a statement made tonight by
Governor Gillette, there will be no
legislation against the Japanese at this
session OF the legislature. The COVER
nor authorized the following state
ment:
After conversing with the leading
members of both branches of the leg
islature tonight, 1 am convinced that
no legislation directed against the jap
anese viii be enacted. I am satisfied
that the people of California and par
ticularly the members of our legisla-
ture appreciate the efforts being made
by the federal government and the
representatives of Japan to stop emf
grafton to this country Of Japanese IA
borers, skilled and unskilled.
There can be no doubt that the
Japanese government is acting absc
lutely in good faith in it's endeavor to
prevent it's people emigrating to our
country, and in my judgment 1t would
be serious mistake while they are so
doing to enact any laws directed
against the Japanese people.
This question Is one in which the
federal government is particularly in
terested and it's wishes should be
carefully considered and will be, l am
sure, by the people of the state"
An Understanding.
A general understanding was
reached tonight by leaders in the as
sembly regarding the action to be TAX
en- tomorrow on the Drew bill prevent
i,.rr aIi lor V.,h.
son bill denying them the right to be
directors in corporations. They have
been made a special order Of business
and a fierce fight is predicted by their
friends. Their opponents will hold, as
does Governor Gillette, Lieutenant
Governor Porter and Speaker Stanton.
that the ntiJapanese land bill would
keep foreign capitalists from Europe
as well as Asia from investing in Cal
ifornia land, thereby working great
harm from the financial standpoint.
This argument also is applied by the
governor and the speaker to the di-
rectors' bill, they declaring that many
rich European corporations now doing
business in the state through resident
directors, who are not citizens, would
be seriously inconvenienced and un-
doubtedly would withdraw great sums
of money from investment here.
Will Not Give Up.
On the other hand, the friends Of the
anti Japanese measures assert that
they are demanded by the people Of
the whole state, and that they will not
give up without struggle.
Assemblyman Johnson announced on
the floor of the house today that he
would contest the right of the presi-
dent or anybody else to delay legis-
lation." He is the author of the meas
ure preventing the Japanese being
members Of corporations.
Assemblyman Drew, author of the
land bill, is not so belligerent He
said today that he would do all in his
power to secure the passage of his bill
and believed that If it were put to
vote at once in either house it would
pass quickly. However, he said, the
governor had the veto power and the
fate of the bill would be up to the ex-

Would Check Action.

Washington, Jan Ex-senator Flint,
commenting upon the report pub
lished in Sacramento that President
fort to stop anti-Japanese legislation
before the California legislature stated
that the presidents position, as out
lined in the Sacramento dispatches, Is
absolutely correct He said the pres
ident is determined that this legisla-
ton shall not be enacted until after
the Californians have had pointed out
to them the injustice of their attitude
toward the Japanese,
The president is proceeding on the
theory that Japan has stopped the
emigration of coolies to this country
and is doing everything possible to re-
move the causes of friction between
the two countries, says Mr.. Flint. The
California senators frequently have
conferred with the president and are
aiding him in holding up the legisla-
ton pending full explanation Of the
federal governments position in the
matter.
That President Roosevelt feels suf-
ficiently concerned about the pro-
posed Japanese legislation in Califor-
MIA to write an important letter to
Governor Gillette of that state is ad-
mitted at the White House today. The
letter was mailed three or four days
ago and will he received by the goveE-
nor in a day or so.
Being Settled.
The president strongly feels that the
objection to Japanese immigration to
this country is fast being settled by
the agreement in existence between
the United States and Japan under the
terms of which President Roosevelt
points out 1000 more have left Amer
lea in the last six months than have
come in.
The president is convinced that jap

A Government Case.

New York, Jan. 19-The veil of mys-
terry which for the last two days has
enveloped the secret examination be-
fore the federal grand jury here of
newspaper men and others believed to
have knowledge regarding the publ
cation Of alleged libelous matter con-
corning the purchase by the United
States Of the Panama Canal company,
would seem to have lifted tonight by
the Issuance of subpoena In which,
for the first time, the names of both
complainant and defendant are
out against John Doe" was served
upon William j. Dempsey, head of the
mailing department Of the New York
World, and commands his appearance
before the federal grand jury to tes-
tify ''in the matter of the United States
against the Press Publishing COM
pany," which company publishes the
World. Another development which
definitely establishes the proceedings
as an action for libel against "the
World" was the calling into consul
tation by United States District At
torney Henry L. Stmson of District
Attorney Jerome.
Many Rumors.
Although the only witness examined
today was E. M. Engleman, an en-
ploye Of the news association, who is
said to have supplied the data upon
which the alleged libelous articles sub.
sequently published by the World were
based. the presence outside the grand
jury room of two secret service men
from Washington with mass of docu-
ments and number of account books
gave rise to all sorts of rumors.
Mr. Engelman is said to have made
an investigation last year in Paris of
the purchase of the canal property by
the United States from the French
stockholders and to have submitted his
findings to the democratic national
committee during the late presidential
campaign.
