Khartoum, March 13-Khartoum is now in gala attire awaiting the com ing of Theodore Roosevelt who with the other members of the American hunting and scientific expedition is aboard the steamer Dal on the last stage of the journey to this city. The steamer is expected here tomorrow af- ternoon, but an unusually strong northern gale is blowing, which is kicking up heavy waves in the river, and it is possible that the arrival of the distinguished American will be somewhat delayed.

$Io,o00 Painting
 Cut from Frame
THE SHEPHERD AND FLOCK" BY
 JEAN FRANCOIS MILLET.
POORLY DRESSED MAN SEEN
Carrying a Bundle from the Art Mu-
 Franeiseo-Paintins Was Loan.

San Francisco, March 13.-Having been carefully cut from its frame while a score of persons wandered about the other works of art, the famous paint ing The Shepherd and Flock, by Jean Francois Millett, was stolen from the art museum in Golden Gate park to- day. No one saw the thief remove the canvas, and the police are without the slightest clue. The painting is valued at s10,000.
 The Property of Miss Sarah Spooner.
 The painting is the property of Miss Sarah M Spooner of this city, who is now travelling in Europe. It was pur- chased from T. D. Trimon of the Rue Lafayette. Paris. The canvas is 21 inches in length and 17 inches high. Two other paintings of equal value were loaned to the art meseuIn by Miss SpOoner when The Shepherd and Flock was hung. They are Dupre's Twilight and a landscape by Charles Francis Daubigny.
 Painting Was Insured Against Fire.
 Alexander Lawson, the curator of the museum, saws that shortly before the theft was discovered he saw a poorly dressed man lugging a. bundle from the institution, but a crowd was visiting the hall at the time, and he at tached no importance to the incident.
 The painting was insured against fire for s10.0OO.
 The picture hung with others in a large room, and people were passing constantly along the corridor.

INVENTION OF A GERMAN ENGINEER
Is New Departure in Flying Machine Construction Be. ing Built of Iron-Great Results Expected from this Machine which is Approaching Completion and will be Launched Early this Sprins-Its MaLeUp.

Trier, Germany, March 13.--An in- menSe air-cruiser to carry from fifty to sixty persons and intended to trav- el at from A to 50 miles an hour. is approaching completion here, and will be launched early this spring by its in- ventor, Anton Border, an engineer, of this city, It introduces an entirly new departure in the construction of air ships, as it is built of iron.
 Great Results Expected.
 The new vessel is expected to achieve even more successful results than those of the rigid aluminium type built by Count Zeppelin, on which it is chiefly modelled. It is to be named the Trier, after the town where it will be built. The skeleton of the balloon is formed of rolled iron piping. The central hol- low iron shaft is 40 feet in length and about 16 inches in diameter. There are sixteen other side shafts in the framework, each of them about BPS feet long and eight inches i'm diam eter. These are joined to the central shaft by a lattice work of iron.
 Of 48o Horsepower.
 The gas is contained in twelve ring balloonets, in the same manner as in the Zeppelin craft. These balloonets
Norwich bulletin., 1910-03-14

are just over 27 feet long by nearly 70 feet in diameter, and they lie end to end along the body of the airship. The vessel Is provided with no fewer than five motors, developing altogether 48O horsepower. One of them. of 80 horse power, drives the propeller, which ia fitted at the bows. The other four de- Velop 100 horsepower each and arc utilized to put into movement the six teen vertical and eight horizontal screw planes which steer the ship up- wards and downwards and to starboard and port They also control the mo- tion of the ship forward and astern.
 Average of 50 Miles an Hour.
 It is estimated that these powerful motors will give the vessel n speed of at least A miles an hour when they are all working, and it is even thought an average of fifty miles an hour will be attained.
 Machine Weias 90 Tons.
 The entire weight of the framework, motors and equipment is thirty tons, and the enormous volume of gas con- tained by the vessel when fully inflated will permit the transport of ten tons of feright or fifty to sixty persons.

 His Fortune.

New York, March 13.-Herman Mo- ritz, 45 years old. and two sons, George and Walter, F and 12 years old, re- spectively, were found shot to death tonight in their home in the Bronx. It appears to be a case of double murder and suicide.

 Moritz evidently was seized with a fit of despondency, to which negihbors say he was subject, killed both his boys, set fire in the cellar, gave the alarm. then returned and shot him self through the head.
 The MOrltZeS were well to do and Mrs. Moritz is visiting in EngleWood, N. J. According to a maid in the house the wife went to Englewood at the earnest request of her husband, who seemed desirous of having her leave the house
 Shortly after the bodies had been found Borough President Cyrus Mill CT of the Bronx, who was a friend of Moritz, took charge of the affairs of the house.
 Mrs. Moritz req ac1ed home later and collapsed. Friends took her away
 MoritZ and the present Mrs. Moritz were married about two years ago. The dead mans first wife. the mother of the murdered boys, died a few years ago. Morit2 conducted a prosperous real estate business in Harlem up to four years ago, when he retired with a small fortune Since then, friends say, he has worried considerably for fear that he would lose his money.

BOSTON MERCHANTS LINE
 TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
Three Steamboats to Be Laid Of Next
 Saturday.

New York, March 1s.-Three steam boats, the A1asSa chusetts, Bunker Hill and Old Colony, which since 1908 have been in service between New York and Boston as the Boston Merchants line will be laid off on Saturday next and the line will go out of business.
 The Boston Merchants line was or ganized by the New England Naviga- tion company, which is the marine de- partmenf of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, to compete with the Yale and the Harvard of the Met ropolftan Steamship company, which was then controlled by Charles w Morse. Thus the abandonment of the line would seem to bear out a report that the New Haven road has obtain ed control of the new Metropolitan line and will cut down the service for economy.
 The railroad company has denied that it owns the Metropolitan line An officer Of the railroad company said to- night:
 ''The Boston Merchants line is go- ing out of business because it is losing money. Three boats will probably be laid up at Newport

PRESIDENT TAFT AT LAWS FUNERAL. Mrs. Taft Unable to Make the Trip to
 Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, March 13.-President Taft attended in this city today the funeral of Mrs. Taft's brother-in-laW, Thomas Mex. Laughlin, and left on an early
 train for Washington, where he is due lat S.20 o'clock tomorrow morning. The circumstances of the presidents visit that have ever confronted a chief ex- ecutive of the United States. The tragic ending of MT. Laughlin's life on Friday morning, the gloomy day, with fitfal falls of rain. the silent home on fashionable Woodlawn road, the quiet ceremonies and the little process sion of carriages to the Allegheny cemetery. where the interment was made, all constituted a picture of
 mourning deeply impressive.
 The president reached the East Lib
 erty section of Pittsburg at o'clock this morning, and was driven immedi- ately to the Laughlin home, where ten months ago he was a guest of honor and surrounded by a gay company at Sunday afternoon ta. Mir. Taft looked rather worn and pale after his night on the train. Mrs. Louis More of Cin- cinnati, who had recently succeeded Mrs Laughlin as companion to Mrs. Taft at the White House, accompanied the president. Mrs. Taft was unable family was joined by Mrs. Charles An derson, also of Cincinnati, and another sister of Mrs. Taft.
 The funeral services were held at tne T6SlucnCt dl U NlOCh LiiiS eiiISi- noon. Only the family and the close friends of the Laughhns were present. Judge John M. Heron of Cincinnati, father of Mrs. Laughlin and Mrs. Taft, was unable to be- present be- cause of serious illness. Irwin B. Laughlin a brother of Thomas Nick Laughlin and secretary of the Ameri- can embassy at Berlin, cabled a mes sa ge of condolence.
 Mrs. Taft sent a large wreath of
 flowers from the White House conser- vatories. RepreSentativep and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and friends from verious sections of the country sent flowers and messages of sympathy.
 The Rev. Maitland Alexander, pas- tor of the First Presbyterian church, conducted the brief ceremonies at the house and at the grave, where the party was sheltered from the eyes of curious onlookers by a white tent stretched above the family burial place.

THREATEND WALKoUT
 OF 25,ooo FIREMEN On Practically All the Railroads Be- tween Chicago and the Pacific.

Chicago. March 13.-The threatened waIIxout of 25,000 dremen on practically all the railroad systems between Chi cago and the Pacific coast reached an acute stage today when w. g. Carter president of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Bremen and Enginemen. for mally notified the railroads that if tho entire controversy was not submitted to arbitration strike would be ineV- itable.
 MT. Carter's letetr of notification was endorsed by the brotherhoods commit tee which represents the hremen on about forty-seven railroads west, northwest and southwest of Chicago. The letter was sent to w. C. Nixon, general manager of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, chairman of th5 railroad general managers committee.
 The railroads previously announced their willingness to arbitrate tho in creased demand wages which firemen say would amount to about 12 1-2 ger cent The other demands involved, tho managers say, concern discipline and authority and are not open to arbitra- tion. These points have to do with the promotion of firemen, and questions whether, when they become enginemen, they are still under the Jurisdiction of the brotherhood.
 Does your letter mean that if a sat-, Iisfactory reply is not received a strike will be called?' Mr. Carter was asked.
 Tt looks pretty grave" he said. 'We arc nearer a disagreement than Wo
 
 weeks of conferences. We do not want a strike. We want the public to un- derstand that. As to our authority to strike, we have the vote of over so per cent. of the men in favor of it. All of the answers we have received from the managers heretofore have been evasive. hope their next reply will not be so."
 It was learned that the managers had agred to stand pat" and while refusing to make any concessions probably would invite the brother hoods committee to another conference tomorrow.
 Washington. March 13.-Reports of railroads west of Chicago and their enginemen and firemen attracted more attention here today because for sev- eral days there have been indications of an approa ching controversy Of sirn- liar character affecting the same class es of labor on the railroads east of the Mississippi valley.
 Representatives of these railroads have been in Washington during tho past week, prepared to apply to Chair man Knapp of the interstate commerce. commission and Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neill, the federal mediators under the Erdman act, for the exercise of their good offices to avert trouble between the roads and their fremen and engineers. Curiously enough, Inn portant officials of tho labor organiza- tions also have been in Washington although they have not thus far shown themselves to the mediators
 The principal question involved is that of wages. Indications seem to be that while the projected negotiations will lead to concessions, the railroads will make such concessions only under pressure of formal arbitration and will then put forward the added expense as the basis Of a demand for higher freig Int and passenger rates.
