sTOLYP|N'S CONDITION
HAD IMPROVED TODAY
Shooting of Premier Political
Crime-.-Affair Causes Ap-
prehension in Russia.

Kieff, Russia, Sept. 16.-Although
still in critical condition, Premier
Stolypin is slightly better today.
: Definite confirmation of the fact that
tho shncii : .l III i,Iemier was po.
li,icaI crime rnl! es that the result OF a
private eru'ee, ha- spread deep gloom
throughout court circles 1t is taken
to mean that fresh campaign of ter
rorism has begun and no one feels
safe.
Discovery that, D,mitri Bogrof, who
shot the Premier, was.iltsthe police SER
vice and actually secured admission to
the municipal theatre as one Of the
Cars protectors is not the least dis
uuieting feature OF the affair. Since
there is one confessed anarchist among
his majesty's personal attendants, it is
considered clear that Nicholas can
never consider himself safe even from
the members of his own bodyguard.
No doubt is felt by the police that
Bogrof meant what he said in declar-
ing, under examination, that he in
tended to kill "one higher up" nor
can there be any. question, they think,
that it is the Car to whom he referred.
1t is coniectured that he only failed
because the number Of his majesty's
other attendants rendered it impossible
for the would-be assassin 10 approach
near enough to him to fire with fair
chance of hitting his mark.
Not only will Bogrof unquestionably
be summarily dealt with by the court
martial which will try him, but there
is certain to be thorough shaking-up
Of the police department for permitting
such man in the service. Inspector
of political police Kuliabko, who signed
the request for Bogrof's admission to
the theatre, in particular, will assured
ly have some awkward questions to
answer. He will probably plead that,
as Bogrof was known to be betrayer
OF the revolutionary groups as we'll as
his employers, the police, he latter
were driven to make use Of his service
as the only means of keeping an eye
on the anti-government conspIrators.
1t is unlikely, however, that this will
be accepted as an excuse for allowing
so dangerous character within shoot
ing distance OF the Gar.
Many arrests are being made today
of supposed members of the recently
amaIgamated organized Hebrew Ma
tionaIists and the Finnish Revolution
airy Society who are said to have
planned an assassination in the theatre
| to inaugurate fresh reign OF terror in
Russia. There is also serious danger
| of an outbreak of violence against the
| Jews whom the populace accuse Of re-
sponsibililv for the shooting OF the
premier.

BANK ROBBERS
STILL At LARGE.
Fugitives Believed to be Hiding in
the Vicinity of New West
minister, B. C.

New Westminster, B. c., Sept. 49,
With a dozen posses searching this
vicinity for some trace OF the three rob-
bers who looted the Bank OF Montrea!
here of 1858, 900 word reached here
from Vancouver today that the police
there believe the men are hiding IN that
neighborhood. All the financial IN
stitutions there have been warned to
keep a sharp lookout for new bank
notes OF large denominations and to
make record of their serial numbers,
tho officials of the bonk believing the
robbers can thus be traced.
There are two ways by which the
robbers could have reached Vancouver
yesterday morning. They could have
driven there in an automobile or have
gone down the Fraser river in launch.
The finding of broken down automo-
bile Just outside New Westminster in-
dicates that they pursued the former
course, at least part OF the way. Th
belief is partially confirmed by repor
that an automobile was seen near the
robbed bank shortly before three yester-
day morning.
Manager Byrnmer, of the bank, today
confirmed his earlier estimate that
S2S5 900 was taken. The robbers got
more than 5000, 900 in bills OF $500 and
$1,000, and many thousands in bills OF
500 and smaller. They also took
thousands in gold, but left the silver.

R|XEY MAY BE SENT
TO MARION ASYLUM.
Banker Who Was Adjudged Insane
Will in all Probability go to
Southwest Asylum.

The veil of secrecy which has en-
yeloped everything in the Rlxey case
during the last few days continued to-
day and there was nothing definite
given out by Mr.. Rixey's attorneys as
to the action that will be taken in the
case when the Corporation Court meets
on Monday. Mr.. S. G. Brent, Com
monwealth's Attorney, is IN Cuipeperr
attending the sale of Mr.. Rixey's real
estate which was turned over to the
Trust Company. According to the
belief of many people and from indi-
cations manifested it is believed by
many people who are famili"r with the
in and outs of the case that Mr.. Rixey's
attorneys will consent to have him sent
to the hospital for the criminal insane at
Marion, Va. This will end the case
for the present. However, the indlct-
ment will always hang over Mr..
Rixey's head and should he at any
time recover his reason he will be re-
turned to Alexandria for trial.
Mr.. S amuel &. Brent stated last
night that it had been agreed that Mr..
Rixey would be in court on next Mon
day. DR.. J. S. DeJarnette, snperin-
! tendent of the Western State Hospital,
at Stauuton, has been ordered by Judge
Barley to produce Mr.. Rixey at that
time.
1t is also stated that Mr.. Rixey's son
will be in court on Monday to an r
to the contempt proceedings which have
been brought against him.

Believe it was Double Suicide.

Kissimmee, Fla, Sept. l6.--That
Sister Sadie L. Merchant met death
at her own hands, and that Brother
E. B. Gillette and Sister Elizabeth
Sears, fellow members in the Shaker
sect, deliberately planned to confess
to chloroforming her, rather than let
her lapse from the rigid religion OF
the Shakers stain her memory with
the colony. was the report which
gained credence here today. The
Shaker religion condemns the suicide
to eternal disgrace Heartbroken over
the death of a dearly beloved friend,
it was believed that the two determined
themselves to take the blame for her
death so that her friends in the sect
would continue to revere her memory.
The Brother and Sister, who say
they aided the passing Of the spirit"
from the body OF their sister in the
faith by Misunderstanding cblo!oform to
end her sufferings from tuberculosis,
stood steadfastly by their story today.
Within few weeks the murder charge
against them will be taken up by the
grand jury.
However, it was generally believed
today that no jury made up of citi-
zens Of this section would hold them
on the murder charge. Respected by
their neighbors and strong in their
simple faith, the community is with
them to a man.

THE SAD FATE Of
MYRTLE HAWKINS.
The Young Woman's Pathetic Let
ter---The Man Responsible for
Her Death.

HendersonvilIe, n. c., Sept. TO-
Unwilling to accept the explanations
of witnesses go far heard, Coroner W.
R. Kirk today determined that the
secret of the death of Myrtle Hawkins,
whose body was found in Osceola,
should not remain until revealed as the
wish OF the girl herself expressed in 9
pathetic note to her mother.
DR.. Kirk is determined that the
name Of the man reported to be re-
sponsible for the girls condition, which
led to the fatal operation shall be
known, and he declared today that he
would not be deferred by the sad death
letter left by the young woman in
which che sought to shield the man
aud relieve him at last partially OF the
responsibility for her sorrow.
Though ten witnesses were examined
last night. only confusion resulted. 1t
was fairly we'll established that Miss
Hawkins died under the effects Of an
anaesthe!ic and that her body was
thrown into the lake to conceal her
fate. Half dozen prominent persons
are reported to have been involved in
the final acts Of the tragedy.
The pitful letter from the girl was
found by her sister and read as fol-
lows:
Dear mother: I promised daddy
to write and tell you ofmy misfortune,
but have not the face to tell you the
name OF the man who is responsible
for it. He is not entirely to blame,
however, for he has done all that be
could to help me and will continue to
do so. I am going away so that I will
not be any more trouble to you. Tell
them that I have gone to Atlas.
Good by"
The Atlas referred to was gir
friend living at Durham, N. G. The
coroner believes that after this letter
was written the girl placed herself in the
hands of the man who she said would
continue" to do all that he could for
her, and that while an operation was
being performed under his direction,
she died. The coroner said he would
examine numerous other witnesses.
The family Of the dead girl today
gave the police letter which had ap-
parently been written by the girl to her
fnancee, Hal Cooper. 1t pathetic
appeal to the young man to marry her
at once. The missive was dated
September 5. The girl disappeared on
the 9TH.

"very nicely, thank you," and ad-
mitted that they probably would move
out before Monday.
District Attorney Whitman said to-
day that at present he would take no
action in the case, as Noble and Mrs.
Suydam had merely announced that
they we're living in the same apart
lnents that no complaint had been
made, and that SO far as be knew
there was no specific evidence OF any
violation OF the law.
Il have nothing against my bus

mo. I don't think he's that kind
OF chap. If be was, I wouldn't be
here"
docs your conscience bother you
any ?" Mrs. Suydam was asked.
MY presence here ought to answer
that question.
do you expect any reconciliation? p
THAT depends on my husband. "
"Your people knew that you intend
ed coming away with Noble %
my husband, my husbands father
and my father and mother knew all
about it. And they know when l had
made up my mind there was no use
trying to stop me. ="
Mrs. Suydam spoke in short, sharp
sentences that left no doubt as to her
meaning. Noble let her do most OF
the talking.
About 1890 Mrs. Suydam left her
apartment.

asked.
"Why I'm going to the grocery, if

high, swinging her right arm violently.
She had the appearance of being
much in the sun; her hair was bleached
