CONFESsES HE KILLED FOUR.
Newport, Tenn, Man Tells of Crimes
on Deathbed.

NEWPORT, Tenn, May Civilian
Fine, 50 years old, died in this city
yesterday after confessing that during
his life he had murdered two men and
two women.
On his deathbed he confessed that
about twenty years ago he poured
kerosene oil on woman who was sleep
ing and then set her clothing afire,
with the result that she was burned to
death. A coroner 5 jury declared at
the time that the woman had come to
death by falling asleep too near the
fire.
A few years later Fine, according to
his own statement, lured stranger
who was in that section to his death,
but he did not explain any of the de-
tails. The victim of his third crime
was his aunt, Peggy Fine, who was iv-
ing with him. She fell sick and he
starved her to death, refusing to give
her either medicine or food.
Ten years ago he and a man named
Bradshaw quarrelled while doing farm
work and Fine drew his knife and
stabbed Bradshaw in the stomach. FoI
this he was arrested, but he managed
/ to prove a case of selfdefence and cs
capped punishment after two trials.

NO BOLT FROM
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
Bill Will Go Through House Virtually

Senators Give 1t Consideration.

WASHINGTON, May s. - The ad-
ministrative and income tax features
of the tariff bill remained TO be dis
posed of today, when the House con
vened. Their adoption virtually in
tact is confidently expected by the
Democratic leaders. Not all are agreed
upon the details of the income tax, al
though there is no difference of view
rs to the principle involved. Those who
object to some particulars of the bill
do not propose to bolt the caucus
which bound the majority to the bdI
prepared by the ways and means com
mittee, but it is expected that some
minor changes will be made in the
measure when it reaches the Senate.

Just as gorgeous and just as beauti-
y full as it can be, this gown in one
of the many wonderful gold shades
shows the cleverest handling of the
most extreme ideas in this winters
modes.
The skirt of panne velvet of the
softest and most supple variety is
made on the Turkish trouser" model.
About all its fullness is arranged at
the front. There is no MISLEADING the
appearance it makes on the wearer.
1t looks actually more like a pair of
voluminous trousers than like our
ordinary skirts.
The pannier and bodice in one,
with soft crushed girdle of velvet, is
a wonderful garment. The drapery is
arranged in two over-hanging pam
niers, broadening the hips and hang
ing into the figure at the bottom.
The bodice is cut with a kimono
sleeve, apparently, although it is hard
to be sure of this. At all events, the
arm s-eye is not discernible in it.
The sleeve is heightened until it Gov
ers the wrist and extends in a point
over the back Of the hand. Such
sleeves are the height of styles.
This costume is an achievement of
which the designer has a right to be
proud. 1t manages difficult problems

CHAPTER XVI.
A Restless Man.

When l came into camp, late that
afternoon, l found Byram and Speed
cropping about among a mass of news
papers and letters, the first mail we
circus people had received for nearly
two months.
There were letters for all who were
accustomed to look for letters from
families, relatives, or friends at home.
| never received letters-I had re-
ceived none of that kind in nearly a
score of years.
But there were newspapers enough
and to spare-French, English, Ameri.
can; and | sat down by my lions cage
and attempted to form some opinion
of the state of affairs In France.
When, on the 3rd Of September, the
humiliating news arrived that the en-
peror was a prisoner and his army an
initiated, the government, for the first
time in its existence, acted with
promptness and decision in a matter
of Importance. Secret orders were
sent by couriers to the Bank of France,
to the Louvre, and to the Invalides +;
and, that same night, train after train
rushed out of Paris loaded with the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1913-12-12

I battle flags from the Invalides, the
most important pictures and antique
sculptures from the Louvre, the great
er part of the gold and silver from the
Bank of France, and, last but by no
means least, the crown and jewels of
France.
These trains we're dispatched to
Brest, and at the same time telegram
was directed to the admiral command
ing the French iron-clad fleet in the
Baltic to send an armored cruiser to
| Brest with all haste possible, there to
await further orders, but to be fully
| prepared in any event to take on
board certain goods designated in
cipher. This we knew in a general
way, though Speed understood that
Lorient was to be the port of depar-
ture.
The plan. then, was simple; but. for
an equally simple reason. 1t miscar-
ried in the following manner: On the
4th of September the treasure-laden
trains had left Paris for Brest. On
the 9Th the Hirondelle steamed out to-
wards the feet with the news from Sc
dan and the orders for the detachment
of cruiser to receive the crown
jewels. On the 9Th the news and the
orders were slgnaled to the flagship;
but the God of battles unclaimed a
tempest which countermanded the or
der and hurled the ironclads into outer
darkness.
So, for days and days, the treasure
laden trains must have stood helpless
in the station at Brest, awaiting the
cruiser that did not come.
Speed and l already knew the secret
orders sent The treasures, including
the crown diamonds, were to be stored
in the citadel and an armored cruiser
was to lie off the arsenal with banked
| fires, ready to receive the treasures at
the first signal and steam to the
French fortified port Of Saigon in Co
chin China, by a course already deter
mined.
Why on earth those orders had been
changed so that the cruiser was to lie
off Groix | could not imagine, unless
some plot had been discovered in 10
rient which had made it advisable to
shift the location of the treasures for
the third time.
| Pondering there at the tent door
amid my heap Of musty newspapers,
| looked out into the late, gray after
noon and saw the maids and men OF
Paradise passing and repassing across
| the bridge.
A few moments later drums began
to roll from the square. Speed, pass
ing, called out to me that the con-
scripts were leaving for Lorient; so
walked down to the bridge, where the
crowd had gathered and where a tall
gendarme stood his blue-and-white
uniform distinct in the early evening
light.
Attention" cried the officer, Slim
hectic lieutenant from Lorient.
The mayor handed him the rolls,
