caused divorce papers TO be served on
his wife, Jessie, at Newdrop, Staten
Island received telephone message Sat
urday night at his home in New York
from Ridgefeld Park that gave him a
thrill from woman detective, Mrs

this

correspondent, August Niehaus. in
Ridgefield Park. She was brought here
in an automobile by Nienaus from
Staten Island. The house is in dark
ness. Catch the Susquehanna and

Rosenquest lost no time in hurrying
to the depot, and he was much excited
and nervous when he reached Ridge
field Park. The woman detective took
him to the home Of Justice Cecil T..
Beach, where a warrant for the arrest
OF Niehaus and Mrs. Rosenquest was
issued, and then two policemen started
for the Niehaus home, on Hackensack
road, with Rosenquest, the woman
sleulh and Justice Beach following
closely behind.
1t was probably 2:l5 O'Clock Satur-
day morning when the eyidence-seek-
ing party reached the Niehaus home.
Niechaus opened the door and said hat
Mrs. Rosenquest wasn't in the house.
The searchers found two women and
three children in one OF the bedrooms ;,
in which was only a single bed
Are you Mrs. Rosenquest?" Chief

FIGHT IN TEHERAN.

A serious armed engagement took
place at Teheran, Persia, yesterday in
which there we're many casualties. A
gubernatorial proclamation, ordering
the nationalists to disarm within As
hours was ignored, and it was decided
to adopt severe measures to enforce it.
The German minister vainly interceded
with the nationalist, who took up a
position in the northern part of the
city, under the leadership of Satar
Khan, the constitutionalist, and Bakir
Khan.
Troops ordered out by the govern
ment authorities marched, with rapid
fire guns, TO begin the attack. Brisk
fighting continued throughout the
afternoon, and the position OF the in
surgents was captured by assault at 9
O'Clock at night.
Satar Khan was wounded and Baklr
Khan and many Of the others were
made prisoners. The humber killed
and wounded has not been estimated.

Suicide Of Chief of Police.

Rome, Aug. S.-Chief of Police
Caesar Ballanti, famous for his activi-
ties in breaking up Camorra and Black
Hand organizations, committed suicide
by shooting today, just on the eve Of
being called to testify against forty
Camorrists who had been arrested by
him. Ballanti OF late had received
many terrible threRs from.the Camera
societies, and it is believed that these al
last unbalanced his mind and led to the
suicide. The police at first attempted
TO make a mystery out OF BalIanti's
death, but it soon developed that it was
a plain case OF suicide.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING. AUG s.

EXPLANATIONS that the United States
has no notion Of establishing an actual
protectorate over Liberia, which have
inst been received in London, are not
proving very convincing to European
ofiicialdom. The London Post says:
The new scheme must inevitably re-
suit in the American nation exercising
a very large measure OF control over
LibeTian affairs. Whether such con
troll can be described as amounting to n
protectorate is a matter OF opinion.
Looking at the question from a practi-
cal point OF view, it seems obvious that
the United States would be making
herself responsible for the internal wei
fare OF the country and would, there
fore. become sooner or later the ruler
of Liberia. If the United States re-
mains content merely with maintaining
order in Liberia, everyone on this side
will be satisfied, but there is general
uneasiness, lest having once obtained a
foothold in the old world, Americans
will become ambitious to extend their
sphere of influence with consequent
trouble for everybody.
II is believed by many people in this
country that the United States has It's
hands full in maintaining the Monroe
doctrine.

The Murder of the Kendall Family.

San Francisco, Aug, S.-That the
killing Of Enoch Kendall, his wife, and
their -soa, at their lonely ranch just
north OF Santa Rosa. was a gruesomc
human sacrifice TO Shinloism, offered
by Manjiro Yamagachi, japanese
boy who lived on the ranch, was the
startling declaration made today by
Mrs. Gertrude Boyle Kano, American
wife CT Japanese poet, and ward OF
joaquin Miller. Mrs. Margaret Star
buck, owner Of the ranch on which
the KendaIls were living, is the leader
of the Shinto cult in Oakland, and
Yamagachi, who was member OF
the cult, reported to her several days
before the triple murder was discovered
that he had had a fight with the elder
Kendall. Yamagachi disappeared, and
later the charred bones Of the Kendall
family were found in an ash heap
near the ranch house.

The Kaufman-Langford Fight.

Philadelphia, Aug. Sit is expect
ed that a record breaking crowd will
witness Wednesday nights six round
battle between AL Kaufman and Sam
Langford in Shibe Park. Preparations
are being made to handle between 20,
600 and 80, 900 persons more than the
total attendance at the Johnson-Jeff-
ries battle at Reno. The preliminarles
will start at $50 p. m. and the big
fight will be staged by $50 O'Clock.
There is a personal ieud between the
fighters that will be evident from the
start. Kaufman was one OF Johnson's
principal trainers during his prepare
ton for the Reno fight, and anyone
who sides with Johnson is Langford' 5
sworn enemy for life. A victory i'll
this fight will go long way toward
establishing a right for Langford to
fight Johnson.

THE pIrrsRuRG TRAGEDY.

A dispatch from Pittsburg says: The
police said Oh Saturday DR.. g. NJ
Stewart, the young physician who was
killed by Edna Wallace, OF the under
world. had been dead some hours be-
fore the woman killed herself. They
think Miss Wallace killed Stewart and
remained with his body in the Stewart
house from Is to "a hours and
then disrobing and lying down be-
side his lifeless body. blew her own
brains out. A detailed statement sup
piled from the coroner's Office is that
the woman washed and prepared the
body OF her lover for burial after she
had killed him.
IL isnow known that the body OF the
doctor bad been carefully washed and
dressed after death and sheet wrapped
lightly about him.
After committing the murder, which
WAS preceded by fearful struggle in
the room in which furniture was broken,
the woman left the house and mailed
her will to her attorney, and also wrote
some checks in payment Of bills.
II is said that DIR. Stewart on the eve
OF his wedding to Virginia girl had
speculated heavily and lost much. The
Wallace woman, in ignorance OF his
coming marriage, had loaned him
money at times, in amounts of $500,
as she thought to pay his debts. She
was told that Stewart was using the
money to prepare for his wedding with
another woman, and this, it is thought,
induced her TO kill him.

ACCORDING to Rev. c. Julian Tuthill

ACCORDING to Rev. C. Julian TuthiH,
baseball is to be one of the delights OF
heaven. Baseball in Heaven was
the subject of a sermon preached by
the reverend gentleman in Mattapoisett,
Mass. Yesterday. He said: Heaven
is but an evolution Of this world. \
Christian may love ball game and
loving it remain a Christian. Why,
then, is it not safe to prophcsy that even
the game of baseball will have its place
I'm some spiritual form in heaven.
According to Mr.. Tuthill, Mahomel
was right when he described many
means OF pursuing happiness and di-
versions generally in the unseen world.
