PASTOR AND WIFE SLAIN.

Strangled In Their Homo and Minis
ter's Body Thrown Downstairs.
Washington, Ind, Dec. 2S.-The Rev.
William Ritter and his wife were
found murdered in their home, near
here, and the entire county is aroused.
The wife was found lying full length
upon the floor of the sitting room of
their country home, her head toward
the fireplace and her hair disheveled.
She was in her bare feet and had
probably made ready to retire when
the crime was committed. She was
choked to death.
The body Of the minister was found
in the cellar, at the foot Of the stair
way. He had been strangled and
thrown downstairs. Both bodies were
stiff, and there is no way of telling
when the double crime was commit
ted. They were last seen alive last
Friday, when Milford Ketchum and
wife, who had been guests of the Rit-
ters. left the house.

The rapid rise of Prince Chun has
been attributed to the favor of the
dowager empress, Tsi An. He re-
mained in. her good graces despite the
fact that he had shown himself to be
a partisan in the movement for the
progress of western innovations and
the Punishment of eastern superst-
tions.
1t was during the mysterious days
of November, 1908, that Prince Chun
became a great figure in the Chinese
empire. After the wrangle and the
intrigue of those days he emerged the
ruler of China. By edict Of Nov. IL
Chun was made lieutenant of the en-
pire. His baby son, Pu vi, had al
ready been adopted by the emperor,
Tsai Itien, or Kwag Su, and proclaim
ed heir to the imperial throne. On
Nov. IA Kwang Su died, and the dow
ager empress followed him the next
day. Pu VI was at once proclaimed
as emperor, and Chun assumed the
regency.

STOLE TO BUY A HUSBAND.
Girl Bank Cashier Tells of Taking $e7,

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Angelina Schia-
vone, daughter Of wealthy banker,
was called as a witness in Judge Tut
hills court here and told in detail how
she robbed her fathers bank Of $97,-
600.
She took the money, she said, so she
might give it to her uncle and aunt
and cousins, who had promised to pro-
vide a husband for her in return.
The girl had kept record Of all her
thefts in a note book, and from this
she read her story of the robbery,
committed while she was cashier in
the bank.
every day l took some money out
of the bank" she said. 1.-THE amounts
varied from $10O to $500 day. Most
Of this gave to my uncle, some gave
to my aunt and some to Mollie, my
cousin.

WELCOME TO ZELAYA.
President Diaz Will Entertain Deposed
Ruler of Nicaragua.

nuIor OF nicaragua
City of Mexico, Dec. 2S.-Despite the
fact that the Mexican government real
izes it is incurring heavy responsible
ity in offering a haven to Jose Zelaya,
the deposed president of Nicaragua,
administration officers here are prepar-
ing warm reception for him when he
arrives in the capitol.
Minister Castro of Nicaragua is au-
thority for the statement that Presi-
dent Diaz will entertain Zelaya per-
sonally and will grace any formal re-
ception that may be given In honor of
the deposed ruler.
Minister Castro says that Zelaya will
remain in Mexico looking after some
of his investments here for a few
weeks. Then he will sail to Belgium
to take up permanent, residence in a
palace he owns near Brussels.
Belgium is the native land of Ze-
laya's wife, and several years ago the
Nicaraguan secured a residence near
Brussels presumably for just such a
contingency as he now faces.
Unofficial information from Wash
ington to the effect that the state de-
partment will hold Zelaya to account
for the killing Of the Americans, Groce
and Cannon, causes little comment
here. The Mexican government seems
to be disposed to take the stand that
30 long as zelaya has not been found
guilty Of murder before proper tribu-
nal Washington can take no ofrense IL
Zelaya is received here.

GREAT R. R. STRIKE IMPENDS
President of Switehmen's Union Asks
President Taft's Aid.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-The
switchmen's strike goes on. The labor
leaders refuse to accept the offer of
the railway managers, and peace ne
gotiations are at an end.
A general strike of the eleven unions
comprising the railway department Of
the American Federation of Labor ap-
pears imminent. Governor Adolph
Eberhart admits that his efforts to ad-
just differences between switchmen
and railroads have failed.
Two thousand five hundred men are
directly involved In the northwest
switchnen's strike, but more than 90
600 coal, iron, copper and iron miners
have been laid Off between st. Paul,
Duluth and the Pacific coast because
Of the strike.
It now looks like general strike
throughout the United States. Presi-
dent Perham of the Switchmen's un-
ion has gone to Washington to ask the
Intervention of President Tnft and the
interstate commerce commission. Traf-
fic is badly tied up, and many towns
are suffering for fuel
Before he left this city President
Perham asked Governor Eberhart to
appeal to the interstate commerce
commission to intervene to prevent a
strike which would paraUze railway
traffic between states in the northwest.
The refusal of the railways to guar
antee the re-employment of every
striker within fixed time is the rock
upon which the conference struck.
Having delivered their ultimatum On
this point, the railway managers left
the Office of Governor Eberhart.

 The New Haven road is now car rying the mails without a contract and merely as an accommodation to the public. It has refused to enter into the usual contract with the postoffice department. but instead has attached to the distance circular" which are legal pay vouchers. a formal printed protest against the methods of weigh ing under which it is carving fhe mails at loss of at least 1850, 900 a year.
 The protest includes also a refusal to recognize the right of postal em- ployes to ride free when working on postal cards.
