French Official Of Insane Asylum
stransled one Of the Inmates
Each Day in Order to Get
Absnthe.
MOST GREWsOME CRIMES
Bodies Were Exhumed and all Of Them
Were Found to Have Met
Death in the Same Way
by the Keeper.

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-Whenever Leon
Thaburs, keeper Of the feeble minded
ward of an insane asylum, wanted a
drink of absinthe he killed one Of
the inmates instrusted to his charge.
according to the police theory, and
with the 20 cent bonus allowed him
for the extra work involved in the
death of an inmate, kept himself sup.
piled with the drink.
Thaburs is today facing trial for
what is believed to be the most grew
some series of crimes ever committed
in France. An investigation into his
record as keeper of the ward in which
idiots and feeble minded persons were
confined, followed the death of an old
inmate. 1t was found that this man
had been strangled. The keeper said
he killed the man in self defence af-
ter being attacked by him.
The keepers record shows a death
every other day for fortnight. When
the bodies of the inmates were exhum-
ed, it was found that every one had
been discovered. Everything pointed
to the keepers guilt. In every case,
the authorities now say, Thaburs took
the bonus and spent it for absinthe,
overindulgence in which made him
criminal pervert.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 2S.-President Haw-.
ley, of the switchmen, declared last
night that the heads of the various
railway branches of the Federation of
Labor would leave for their headquar-
tiers to prepare for general strike

mards.
H. B. Perham, who has been acting
chairman OF the railway council here,
started for Washington, where he will
seek the intervention Of the govern
mont in the controversy.
What if your efforts to secure the
intention of the government fail?"
Perham was asked
There undoubtedly will be gen
eral strike," was the emphatic reply.
President Hawley, Of the Switch
mems union. asserted:
Several other member of the rail-
way council besides Perham left for
their headquarters tonight to prepare
for a strike of their respective or
ders."
Perham said: Friday we were on
the verge of settlement with the
railroads. We thought that the mat

THE GEORGIAN CANAL
British Capital is Coming With an
Offer to Build the Big Grain
channell In the
Country.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 2S.-The Can
adian government will pay approxi-
mately S250,000 for the IF. NJ. S. Rain
bow, which will be purchased to make
a beginning for the Dominion's navy.
It is proposed to buy another ship OF
similar type for training purposes.
The admiralty, it Is understood, was
willing to lend two ships to Canada
for training purposes but the Ottawa
government preferred to purchase out
right, thus carrying out from the be-
ginning the idea of complete auton.
omy in naval policy.
In cabinet council between now and
Jan. IL the government naval policy
will be formulated. Quite it's most
important aspect Is the question of
construction in Canada. With hope Of
developing commercial as well as
naval construction in the Dominion,
tenders for construction in Canada OF
the cruisers and torpedo craft desired
will be invited.
Sir Robert Perks, the British capit-
alist and parliamentarian, is to come
to Canada at once to closely devote
his time to the Georgian Bay canal
project. He was here some months
ago and talked the matter over with
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. There is $780,
100000 In the bank of England ready
to start the canal as private en-
terprise II the Dominion government
does not want to do 1t itself. Jt.is
thought the government will immed-
lately be asked to guarantee the bonds
and to let a private corporation start
the work. Perks estimates the canal
can be constructed for between $780,
100000 and $150,000,O0o.
A cable says Sir Robert will sail for
Canada in a few days and that when
interview he intimated that the
canal will occupy 10000 workmen
for ten years He said: "It is vast
undertaking, but nothing is too vast
for the future of the grain producing
northwest. The Manchester Ship
canal was regarded as gigantic piece
Of work but it dwindles to toy-like
dimensions compared to this huge
cutting, which is designed to afford
Canada better way out to the At
lantic."

Conference is to be Held on Saturday
Which is Expected to Put an
End to the Blood Shed
in Country.
U. S. SEEMS SATISFIED
The United States is Thought to be
Willing to Accept Madriz as
President and Not Cause
Trouble.

MANAGUA, Dec. 2S.-A peace con
ference between representatives of
MadriE and Estrada will be held Sat
urday and it is confidentially expected
VIII result in the establishment Of
peace without further bloodshed.
Estrada's favorable reply to the over
lures of Madriz, which proposed
the conference, taken in connection
with Admiral Kimball's favorable call
to Madriz yesterday, Is construed as
evidence that the United States has
indicated its willingness to accept
Madriz as Zelaya's successor at least
until he has determined whether his
promise to wipe out completely the
zelaya regime, was made in good
faith.
Estrada's willingness to negotiate
peace terms is believed to result from
his knowledge that the United States
government will not recognize his
provisional government so long as
Madriz continues to put into effect the
forms on which he has started and
gives proof of complete disassociation
from Zelaya.
Admiral Kimball returned to Cor
into today. Friends of Madriz today
denied he was responsible for the re-
ported attack on an American boy at
Grenada, which was reported to the
American state department by Vice
Consul Cordilla and the vice consul
has been requested to investigate in
order to make a more complete report
to his government. Madriz says he
will also investigate the affair and if
it is found that the authorities at
Grenada acted without warrant, WI
punish them.

GORDON NAMED
AS THE SENATOR
isIature Makes New Ap-
pointment.

JACKSON. Miss, Dec. 2S.-Gover-
nor Noel announced the appointment
of Colonel James Gordon of Ollolona,
as United States senator from Mississ-
irpi to succeed the late Senator A. J..
McLaurin.
The appointment is temporary until
the legislature can elect a senator for
the unexpired term, and is made with
the understanding that Senator Cord
on will not be candidate for this
term.
The appointment was surprise in
political circles, as it was generally
believed the governor would leave the
Office vacant until the legislature took
up the question on January II.
While Senstor Gordon may not
serve more than two or three weeks.
there is a strong probability of a leg
islative deadlock owing to the large
number of probable candidates.
Mr.. Gordon is seventy-six years OF
age. a native of Mississippi and serv-
ed with distinction in the Confederate
Army He has not been prominent in
public life during the last twenty
years.
Governor Noel announced that one
of his principal motives in appointing
Colonel Gordon was as a compliment
to the soldiers of the Confederacy.

Are Suffering.

ROME, Dec. 2S.--Tolling bells, me-
mortal services, and general display
of crepe, on public buildings through
out Italy today mark the first ami
ysary of the earthquake which des-
troyed Messena and wrought devesta-
tion in Sicily and other places. The
anniversary brought many large gifts
for the benefit of thousands of the
victims who are still suffering from
the devastation.
The Naval League presented the
consuls of the United States, Russia,
England, Germany, Spain and France,
richly engraved bronze plate, in appre-
citation of the services rendered by
those nations at the time of the
quake
While year has elapsed since the
disaster, Messena still presents sorry
picture. Thousands of the residents
Of the stricken town, are still living
in the shacks that were built for
them soon after the earthquake. The
work Of permanent rebuilding has pro.
gressed but little and many of the peo
pie seem content to live among the
debris that still is found everywhere

then young man, punched cattle in
Dakota, and while there he ran up
with Seth Bullock, who was something
of a rover at that time. warm
friendship sprang up between the two
men. and it still continues.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was president
Seth Bullock was on a number of occa.
sions a guest at the White House,
and when the distinguished New York
er was inaugurated in 1905 the Dead
wood man brought a cowboy regiment
to Washington that was easily the
headline attraction of the occasion.
This particular regiment cut up high
jinks in the inaugural parade, and in
the White House lot on the night OF
March 4 1905, it marched into the
White House ground and Mr. Roose-
welt delivered a speech to the COW.
| punchers that tickled them nearly to
death. Right in front Of the Execu-
Tive Mansion these cowpunchers from
/ the plains performed a number OF
/ stunts In lariat throwing and dare
I devil riding that astonished the multi
tude and came near making Mr. Roose-
| welt forget that the inaugural ball
was about to begin and awaited his
| presence
Soon after Seth Bullock. who had
up to that time been the head ranger
of the Black Hills forest reserve in
South Dakota. was named United
States marshal. 1t may be stated up
on good authority that before he left
| Washington Mr.. Roosevelt did not
make many requests of the man who
was about to succeed him. In fact,
| it is known that he took the position
| that it would be indelicate for him
to make suggestions as to the filing
/ of public office in the new administra-
| ton He made an exception, however,
1 in the case of Bullock. Mr. Roosevelt
told his successor that if he could see
! his way clear to do so it would please
4 him if Bullock was reappointed United
4 States marshal Accordingly, the nom-
nation of Mr. Bullock for another
term will be sent to the Senate next

SALINA CRUZ, Mexico, Dec 2S.-
Declaring that the attitude of Secre-
tary Knox toward him could not fail
to be disapproved by all fair minded
people, and that he believed the secre-
tary's Judgment was warped by false
reports Of conditions in Nicaragua,
made by the American vice consul at
Managua, former President Jose
Santos Zelaya endeavored In an inter-
view to Justify his treatment of the
Americans, Cannon and Groce, as an
act which any one in his position
would have committed.
Zelaya debarked from the Mexican
gunboat, Gen. Guerrero, in the after
noon, and left last night for the City
OF Mexico IN a private car attached to
the regular passenger train due in
that city Wednesday morning.
Il am going to the City of Mexico
for six MONTHS, he said. 'If the

agree with me will go to some place

accusing me of any infring ement Of
the treaty adopted by the Central
American republics, they attempted
to create a cause and began trying to
instigate mutiny and an armed re-
bellion in order to force the United
States government to intervene.
AS regards Cannon and Groce, no
one else in my position would have
acted other than / did. Neither of
these men had any property in Mic
aragua. Americans and other foreign
ers holding property in Nicaragua en-
joyed protection at my hands, the
same as native-born citizens, and they
had the advantage of not having to
pay direct tax.

tion against me. believe his object
was that / resign. That is what I
