AMMAN SLAYER SUSPECTED
MYSTERY SURROUNDS MURDER
OF KANSAS COUPLE.
Killing Of RoIlin Hudson and Wife
Similar to Bernhard and Show
man Crimes Last Year.

Paola, Kas.-In the murder Of
Rollin Hudson and his wife last
Wednesday night a strong similarity
with the Bernhardt mystery, e
Olathe, and the murder of Will Show
man, his wife and three children at
Ellsworth, Kas., last October is seen.
Developments today only tended to
deepen the mystery of the case. A
stranger, a young man wearing a
blue serge coat and a straw hat, ap-
peared at the Hudson cottage. About
him and the report that Mrs. Hudson
had a sweetheart clings the only ap-
parent thread to the murder mystery.
The husband had been ill almost
from the date of his marriage in Mas
sillon, Ohio, two years ago, with con
sumption. Once the wife had left
him because of this. That was be-
fore the couple moved to Paola. She
left him again in Paola-this time for
the reason Hudson told a friend that
she was in love with. another a
But back of it all looms the strange
fact that the Hudson cottage stands
only a block from the railroad track,
as did the Snowman cottage, and that
between the coming of one train and
the departure of another, like in the
Snowman case, a man stole into the
house and used an ak, or perhaps a
pick in this instance, as was used at
Ellsworth.

KERN ACCEPTS FUNKsTORY
REJECTS TESTIMONY OF MIL
LIoNAIRE LuMBERMAN.
Hoosier Senator Resumes Lorimer
Case Review and Goes Over Evil
dence Before Committee.

Washington, D. C.-When Sena-
tor Kern of Indiana resumed MS dis
cussion Of the Lorimer case in the
senate, urging the passage of the res
olution of the minority of the Lori
mer committee that the seat of the
Illinois senator be declared obtained
by corrupt practices, he turned his
attention to the testimony cleaned
from the lengthy hearings.
He reviewed the testimony given
by Clarence S. Funk, general manager
of the International Harvester CON.
pany, and by Edward Hines, the mil
lionaire lumber dealer, concerning a
conversation in the Union League
club of Chicago the day following Lor-
liners election. AT that time, Funk
testified, Hines asked him to contrib
ute $4,000 toward making good the
500, 900 which Hines is said to have
told Funk was the cost of Lorimer's
election.
Il am thoroughly convinced of the
absolute truth of the testimony of
Clarence V. Funk" Kern declared.
"At the first opportunity, he related
the circumstances of this meeting to
his superior officers, Mr., Mccormick
and Edgar A. Bancroft, and later to
H. H. Kohlsaat. There is no earthly
reason why this man should have in
vented and repeated a deliberate
falsehood.
"on the other hand, Edward Hines
never repeated his version of the con-
versation to a single soul, save to his
attorneys, until he told it on the wit
ness stand before the committee"
The senator also reviewed the tes-
timony of Isaac Baker, of a witness
named Hall, G. F. Weihe, Hines broth
er-in-law, and a number 90 fthers.

CUBA UNDER MARTIAL LAW
TROOPS LEAVE AS AMERICAN
MARINES LAND.
Gen. M~onteagudo Withdraws Soldiers
From All Properties Guarded
by Uncle Sam.

Havana.-President Gomez issued a
decree s%uspending the constitutio lal
guarantees throughout Cuba. This
places all Cuba under martial law.
President Gomez had been author
lied by a bill passed by both houses
of congress to suspend the constitu-
tional guarantees. All captured negro
insurgents will be dealt with summa-
rily by federals while the decree is in
force.
The first clash between Cuban and
United States authorities over the
landing of United States marines on
Cuban soil came when General Mon
teagudo, commander-in-chief of the
Cuban forces, began withdrawing
troops fro mall properties guarded by
American marines, after issuing a
proclamation saying that the Ameri-
a troops had been landed without
an invitation from the Cuban govern
ment.
Indignation was expressed here
over the landing of $50 American ma
rines at Ciamanora. Anti-American
politicians seized the opportunity to
denounce the United States govern
ment, declaring that Americans evil
IDENTIFY intend to intervent here, de-
spite assurances to the contrary.
Word from Guantanamo that United
States marines had arrived there from
Deseo Point added to the hostile sen
timent. Detachments of American
marines are being moved into the in
terror of Santiago, Camaguries and
Oriente provinces.

Vendimaire Goes Down in 100 Feet of
Water OF French Coast When
Warships Are Engaged in Ma
euver With Submarines

Cherbourg, France. - One of the
worst disasters in the long series
of accidents that has marked to-, use
of submarines in the French ma y &C.
Cured here when the submarine Ven
dimaire was struck by the batt'eshir
Saint Louis and sank in 1870 s9et of
water.
There were three officers and "a
enlisted men on board the tiny craft
when she was sent to the bottom and
there is no hope any of them are
alive.
At the time the disaster occurred a
squad of battleships were engaged in
maneuvers with the submarine fleet,
According to the commander II the
Saint Louis, a large cash was cut in
the shell of the submarine and she
sank Immediately after she was
struck. AS soon as he reported the
nature of the accident a report was
sent to the ministry of marine at
Paris, stating that there was no pcs
sibility of saving any of those en-
board the vessel.
Within an hour after the accident
had been flashed here by wireless,
powerful machinery and dredges were
hurried from the guard and divers
were sent out on the fastest torpedo
boat in the harbor The divers, how
ever, were able to descend c.ly a
short distance and reported to Ad-
miral Fourier that the only way Of
bringing up the vessel would be 10
drag for her with graphing hooks.
The rapidity with which the vessel
sank indicated that her plates were
smashed and the submarine exLerte
here declared that even if the crew
succeeded in closing her waite -tignt
compartment they would be unable to
survive for any length of time.
The Vendimaire was the last word
in submarine construction, but eve

an accident of this nature were he'd
to be insufficient to preserve her
crews lives for more than n few
hours.
During the last few years more
than half a dozen French submarines
have either foundered through st;uc-
tural defects or been sunk in COLI
sions.
Two years ago the French saLma-
rinc Pluviove collided with a channel
steamer off Calais and went tn the
bottom. Twenty-six lives were lost
in that accident. The Pluviousn was
of the same type as the Deldin,aiIc.

Men Not Familiar With Handling Of

London.-That the Titanic was

been no work for additional men and

by Harold A. Sanderson, a director of
the White Star line, testifying in the
Board of Trades inquiry.
Sanderson admitted that the men
might not have been as familiar with
the lifeboats and their handling as
they should have been, but declared
that this was due to the great diff
