16.YEAR OLO YOUTH
CANFESSES TO a
DOUBLE MURDER

Elgin, H., April 21. Herman
Coppes, 16 years old, paroled from
the st. Charles reformatory, who con-
fessed yesterday to the murder of
Mrs. Maud Sleep and her two child
rem, was held to the grand jury today
for the crimes.
The apparent absence of any mo-
tive for the boy to have committed
the crimes has led the authorities to
believe that he may have been induced
to kill Mrs. Sleep and her children
by another.
Investigation of circumstances
which indicates that a, relative of the
victims may have been implicated in
the murders has begun. Several clews
which point to the possibility that
this relative may have induced the
boy to have committed the crimes for
& monetary consideration are being
followed.

LATlvE DAYS AND PERMIT ONLY
TWO AMENDMENTS.

Washington, D. C., April 21--The
Democratic tariff bill as amended by
the house caucus was re-introduced in
the house today and will be called up
for general debate Wednesday. The

ing the bill today, did not make any
statement of changes by the caucus.
Among these were the placing on the
free list of shoe machinery, cream
separators, buckwheat and rye, and
the extension of the income tax eX-

Mexico City, Mex, April 21.-lt was
stated today that Francisco de la Bar
ia, Mexican foreign minister, has
asked for an explanation through the
Mexican embassy at Washington OF
the conduct of Consul William Canada
at Vera Cruz, who is alleged TO have
prevented the arrest and removal
from a Ward line steamer Of DR.. Fran
cisco Vasquez Gomez.
1t is understood that DR.. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez, who was formerly
minister of education and at one time
il charge of the financing of the Ma
dero movement, with headquarters at
Washington, is alleged to have been
implicated in the Zapata rebellion, al
though his capture was sought by the
Mexican authorities on the basis OF a
civil charge.
When the military authorities went
On board the Ward liner and demand
ed the delivery of DR.. Gomez, Consul
Canada refused to permit it, on the
ground that the country was under
martial law and that only warrant
issued by competent Judge could be
recognized.

The court recently extended for so

ling disaster, which stunned the en-
tire. civilized world year ago Mon

lives was 1,347; while there were but
1O3 women and SO children. OF the
saved 315 were men, 336 women and
80 children The total number of men
carried was 1862 of women, 439 and

FLEET HAS DOUBLE
STRENGTH seen
IN 1907
CRUISE TO mediterranean IN
JANUARY WILL SHOW STRIKING
ADVANCE MADE SINCE FAMOUS
TOUR AROUND The WORLD.
SHIPS MAY RETURN
BY PANAMA CANAL

Washington, d. c., April 21.-When
! the American fleet sails for the Medi-
terranean in January it will be nearly
twice the muzzle energy of the famous
battle fleet sent around the world in
1907 by former President Roosevelt
and of half again the tonnage.
The schedule and ports of call have
not been worked out yet in the navy
department, and it merely has been
announced that the big fleet would
tour the Mediterranean in divisions.
1t was the original plan in connection
with the opening of the Panama canal
to have the fleet pass through from
the Atlantic to the Pacific about Jan
uary /, the tentative date of the open
ing.
This practically is disarranged but
it was pointed out today that from
the Mediterranean it is comparatively
a short voyage through the Suez canal
and into the Pacific and the fleet
could return that way, making the
passage through the canal from the
Pacific to the Atlantic.
The main ships of the line to go
on the cruise will be the battleships
Wyoming, Florida, Arkansas, Della
ware, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont,
Louisiana, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire, South Carolina, Virginia, Geor-
'gia, Nebraska, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, Minnesota, Connecticut, Kan
sas and Idaho.
Comparing these ships with the
battle fleet which went round the
world, they aggregate tonnage OF
364, 500 against 233,500. Navy officers
point out that a more striking exam
pie of the advance in the navys effec-
tive fighting power is shown by
comparison of the muzzle energy of
the main batteries.
In round figures the muzzle energy
of the battle fleet of 1907 summed up
$500, ,O00s foot pounds. The main bat
teries of the fleet which will make the
Mediterranean trip will total $780,
900 foot pounds-almost twice as
much.

Denver Colo, April 21.--The In

given their freedom adding that they
had been induced to come here by
representations which they had found
to be false.
