HEAVY SENTENCES
 FOR CONSP|RATORS

seoul, -Ilieavy sentences We're imposed upon many of the i23 Korean prisoners charged with con.'piring against the life of Governor General Count Terau- chi.
 Baron Yuan Chi IEn, formerly a cabinet minister, and several among the accused, were sent to prison for ten years. while var lous terms of punishment were inflicted upon all the other DriS- oncrs except nine, who were re- leased. (
 The introduction into the Ku- rean conspiracy trial of the names of several American mis- slonarics including Bishop IIar- iris of the Methodist Episcopal Church, attracted worldwide at tention to the case. The trial began on June 2s, and some of the prisoners, nearly all of whom were christian converts, made confessions duplicating the mis- sionaries, which they afterwards $ withdrew, as they declared they had made them under torture.
 The Japanese government and the Korean officials diSavowed any campaign against the mis- sionaries, and declared they had no suspicion of any complicity on the part of the missionaries S in the plot.

ELDERLY MAN BURNED
AND MAY NOT RECOVER
Fred Marrier Of Burlington Was Asleep
on Couch When Matches in His
Clothing Caught Fire.

Burlington, Nov. ll.--Fred Marrier of
+0i Pearl street was so severely burned
yesterday afternoon that he may die.
Mr.. Marrier. who il 10 years of age, fell
asleep on couch near an oil stove In
some manner his clothing became ignited
and BY the time his cries had alarmed
the Others in the house he was badly
burned about the hips and body. In
tearing off his clothes, quite an amount
OF flesh was also torn off 1t is thought
that the heat from the stove ignited
some matches in the trousers pockets
and that the fire was started in that
manner Mr. Marrier was too i'll last
evening to relate anything in regard to
the fire. When help arrived the room
was full Of smoke and the fire depart
ment was called.
An alarm was rung in from box 35 for
an earlier fire. which occurred in the
home of Clarence Gelinas on lower Cher
ry street A curtain became ablaze rronl
some pipe sparks and was destroyed. but
the iiremen had nothing to do upon their
arrival, as the fire had been extinguished
by the people IN the house.

WORKMEN PANICKY.
Hear That Democratic Administration
Would Mean Closing of Mills.

Utica, N. Y, Nov ll.-Because of
the panic among the foreigners of this
city following election, mass meeting
was held in a Utica theatre last evening
and was addressed by Mayor Baker and
Italian Consul Baccelli of Albany. The
Italians have been withdrawing their
funds from local banks, and the purchase
of tickets to the "old country" has in
creased 80 per cent. The rumor was
current among the textile mills that the
Democratic administration would mean
the closing of the establishments and
the foreign element gave so much credit
to these stories that the situation be-
came serious. Many quit their places
and prepared to return TO Italy.
Utica has 1900 Italians, and a great
many of them work in these mills. The
business men of Utica have been thor
oughly aroused by the panieky feeling
which had assumed great proportions,
and call by some of them resulted ia
last nights meeting. II is believed that
the addresses TO the crowd that thronged
the local playhouse win have a soothing
effect.

MISSING MANS BOAT
is RECOVERED
This Confirms the Belief That Knapp
Cady of st. Adams Was Drowned
While Fishing.

st. Adams, Nov. 1.-THE bringing to
the bay last Saturday OF the boat which
Knapp Cady used when he started fish
ing on October % furnishes the first
clue to the whereabouts of the we'll
known st, Albans man, who has been
missing since that day. The boat was
found floating near Buffers island, and
the reason why the discovery has not
been reported sooner was because the
finder, Mr.. Parrott, who lives on But
ler's island, did not know until Thursday
that Cady was missing.
Going to the mainland last Thursday,
Mr.. Parrot first learned the mystery
and he at once connected it with the
boat which he found on October 20. So
Saturday afternoon he brought the boat
to st. Adams bay. where it was identi-
fled. The oars were in the locks and
the boat also contained bag which the
occupant of the boat had intended To use
for fish.
After the recovery Of the boat, several
searching parties started out looking for
the body Of Cady, but as yet no further
clue has been discovered.

GRAPHIC STORY OF FIGHT.
Both Sides Fought Well Before Turkish
Forts Fell.

Paris, Nov. ll.A graphic description
Of the storming by the Bulgarians Of the
two Turkish forts at Kartaltepe and
Popaztepe in the outer line of the Adri-
anople Notifications has been forwarded
by Latin correspondent. He declares
their capture seals the doom of the
Turkish Stronghold. Operations were be-
gun at daybreak Thursday, when the
Turkish troops sailed from town to
meet the Bulgarans' infantry, after
which the Bulgarians silenced the guns
on the hills and opened a murderous
hail of fire on the Turks. The Bulgarian
big guns began to tell. The guns in the
fort on Mount kartal began to slacken
their replies, the Turkish infantry sud
denly began to waver and the Bulgarians
carried kartaltepe at the point of bay
onets. Papaztepe still held out.
After nightfall, the Bulgarians direct
ed powerful searchlight on Papaztepe
and at midnight the Bulgarians stormed
and captured the fort at the bayonet's
point. The turks are fleeing and leav-
ing the dead and dying by hundreds ON
the ground.
The fort ait Papaztepe is one of the
most important features of Adranople
defenses. It commands not only the city
but all the other works Throughout the
operation, Bulgarian aeroplanes flew
back and forth over the Turkish forts,
bringing valuable information to the
Bulgarian generals.

THINK BODY DIR. GARDENERS.
As He Had Been Missing Since Septen-
Der 10.

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. ll.-Thc
body found in Lakeville, on the east
shore of Long Pond. last Friday, is un-
doubtedly, that of DIR. Clinton r. Gard
ner, aged 27, of South Swansea. who has
been missing since he left his home
September is, last.
There is bullet in the head, revol-
yer was found in his hand and two car
tridges in a pocket, and the physician
who held the autopsy, DIR. Charles Il.
Morse, says there is no doubt that it
was a case of suicide, and that the vic
tim is DIR. Gardner, the clothing and per-
sonal effects being accurately described
by telephone. by Gardner's mother.
Dr. Gardner, who was unmarried and
lived with his parents, was a Brown
university man Of the class of 1908,
though he did not graduate. He had
university of Pennsylvania medical de-
gree. just before his disappearance last
summer he had been working in the post
graduate hospital in New York City.
He disappeared from there July %.
and was neither seen nor heard from by
any one who knew him, till Sept. l5,
when he went to his home in Swansea.
The day succeeding HIS arrival home
he went away and has not been heard of
since till now. Assuming that II is set
tied that the body is that Of DIR. Gard
ner, il is said that he may have COM
mitted suicide the day he left home the
second time, as he had evidently been
dead quite long time, and the features
are quite unrecogrizable.
