Poison Found in Stomach Of lockwood

3. Self Because Of Tragedy.

Arsenic was discovered in the Wis.,
cera of Viola lockwood, the Minneap-
oils girl murdered by her mother, &C
cording to the confession of Mrs. Ida
lockwood. simultaneously with this
announcement from the University OF
Minnesota came the Identification OF
a dead man found in a North Mime
apolis field as John Michaud, uncle Of
Mrs. lockwood, who, of all her rela.
tives, was closest to the woman. He
had committed suicide by drinking
carbolic acid. .,.~- - .-..~ -
First degree murder was at once
charged against Mrs. lockwood by
the police after the report from the
university showing strong traces Of
the poison in the dead girls viscera.
Mrs. lockwood was arraigned on q
murder charge as soon as the COM
plant was finished in the county at
torney's office. She was unable to go
into the courtroom unassisted and was
half carried by the police matron on
one side and Richard Lambrecht on
the other.
When the court clerk started read
ing the charge she shook violently and
moaned. When the specific date OF
her act was reached she collapsed and
was carried from the room by court
officers.
Michael Brady has been retained by
her family as her attorney. He asked
that she be given a preliminary exam
ination later.
The police are inclined to believe
that the suicide of. Michaud is the di.
rect outgrowth OF the crime charged
to Mrs. lockwood, but in nowise con-
nected with it. Ever since the noto-
riety of his niece's arrest Michaud
has broOded.

:swooP DOWN on CAPITOL
Soldiers Seize Members Who Protest
ed Against Mysterious Disappear
ance Of Senator Dominquez.

Mexico City, Oct. 11.-One hundred
and ten members OF the chamber OF
deputies, who had signed resolutions
of warning to President Huerta as the
result of the disappearance of Dr.
Belisaro Dominguez, senator for Chi.
pas, were arrested and, lodged in the
penitentiary.
Five other deputies who signed the
resolution were absent when a Gordon
of troops was thrown about the legis.
lative building and several hundred
soldiers invaded the chamber.
The arrests followed a demand by
President Huerta that the chamber
withdraw the resolution, which carried
the threat that the deputies would
abandon the capitol owing to an al
legged lack of guarantees for their per.
sonal safety.
Senator Dominguez early in the
month made a speech in the senate
violently attacking Huerta, saying
that not only had nothing been done
during Huerta's regime toward the
pacif1cation of the country, but that
the present situation in the republic
was infinitely worse than before.
Declared Famine Threatened.
He said the currency of Mexico ha,
deprecated, fields had been neglected
and towns RACED and that famine
threatened. He added that the 3situa.
ton was due first and foremost to the
fact that the Mexican people could
not resign themselves to be governed
by Huerta. ~ 4 H. r.,
Before the hour for the regular open.
ing of the session of the chamber the
basement and roof Of the building had
been packed with troops. Scores OF
police were scattered through the gal

One Life Lost and Much Property De.

Warroad has been visited by an
other disastrous fire, destroying the
entire business section located on
Main street. The fire broke out in
the kitchen of the Staten board
ing house, about the center of Main
street, and, due to strong north
easterly wind. this section was soon
mass of flames. spreading both
ca st and west. Owing to the build.
ings being few feet apart and of
frame structure it was impossible to
control the flames.
The Warroad fire department was
on the scene in a few minutes after
the alarm was turned IN. Good work
confined the fire to Main street only.
- The only fatality was that of Harry
Gibson, trapper. He was sleeping
on the second floor of the Staten
boarding house.

WIRELESS CALLS HELP |.
Ten Steamships. Respond to Ap-
ped|s for Assistance and
Save 500 Persons.

Liverpool, Oct. 12.-The British
steamship Volturno, Rotterdam for.
New York with 757 passengers and
crew on board, burned in mid-Atlantic
and 1876 persons are missing, accord.
ing to a wireless dispatch from the
Cunarder Carmania. -.
The meager report said that the Vol
turno, afire from stem to stern, was
abandoned in latitude 1925, longitude
34.S3, and burned to the waters edge.
Only SCI of her passengers and crew
were saved so far as the Carmania
knew.
The Carmania's wireless said the
fire broke out aboard the Volturno at
$3.50 Friday morning. Ten steam
ships responded to the Volturno's
wireless distress signals, but by the
time they reached the doomed liner
and stood by she had burned to the
waters edge and her 521 survivors
were in lifeboats and RATS.
The Volturno was owned by the Ca
madam Northern Steamship company,
known as the Royal Mail line. She
was under charter by the Uranium
company of Rotterdam. She was
twin screw steamship of 1902 gross
tonnage, built in 1906.
The vessels that went to the Vol.
turnos assistance and the survivors
they have aboard are:
Carmania, IL; La Touraine, 40:
Minneapolis, 30; Rappahannock, -:
Gar, 1902; Narragansett, 20; Devonia,

mock, Gar, Narragansett, Grosser
Furst, Davonia, Kroonland and Seid-
litz rushed full speed to the spot where
the vessel went down and picked up
the survivors, who were in lifeboats
and RATS.
Wireless reports from other vessels
of the rescue fleet, transmitted by
Captain Barr of the Carmania, agreed
that 521 were rescued, but differed on
the number of those lost, stating the
number variously from 1872 to 236 and
1923.
The world got first word of the VOL
turno disaster in a wireless message
sent out by the Cunarder Carmania
and picked up by the wireless station
here. The Carmania's first message
was:
THE steamer Volturno, bound from
Rotterdam for Halifax and New York,
with 900 emigrants on board, on fire
and abandoned Friday night in lati-
tude 1925 north, longitude 34.33 west
1856 passengers missing"
A fouled propeller is said to have
caused the fire aboard the Volturno.
Quickly the liner was ablaze from
stem to stern. So rapidly did the fire
spread that many of the steerage pas
sengers were burned in their quarters.
