PASSED AWAY
Great Politician Of England

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
LONDON, July 3.-The right hon-
orable Joseph Chamberlain, for many
years the most commanding figure in
British national and international poll
tics, died here at 1915 last night at
his home in Prince Gardens, N. s. w.
Chamberlain succumbed after a pro-
tracted illness which for years debar-
red him from an active part In public
affairs, Several months ago he an
nounced he would not again stand for
reelection to parliament and for sew.
eral years on account Of his age and
feebleness, he seldom was seen on
the floor OF the commons whore his
tall form-and the ever present mon
ocle in his eye-made him land
mark.
Chamberlain was born In 1886 in
the city OF Birmingham which for
many years he held, politically, in
the hollow OF his hand. He was vari-
ously known a. Brummagem Joe and
as the king OF Birmingham. His pow
er in the midland city was almost abb
solute. All the seven parliamentary
seats OF the great manufacturing city
are held by Chamberlain nominees
and politician he opposed was SIM
ply wasting time when he made the
race for parliament. Chamberlain
had huge commercial interests
throughout Eng1ahd and was enor
mously wealthy Chamberlain was
thrice married, his last wife, who
until his death nursed him with rare
solicitude, being Mary. only daughter
OF Judge w. C. Endicott who was sec
retary OF war in the administration Of
President Cleveland. The dead states
man started his political life as =
radical but left Gladstone's party on
the question of home rule for Ireland
to which he was bitterly opposed. He
held the highest post in conservative
administrations and was secretary or
colonies from 1895 to 1908.
Chamberlain besides being one OF
the greatest and most forceful OF
British statesmen Of the Victorian
era, was very nearly unscrupulous In
gaining his ends and was perhaps the
most cordially loved and hated poltti-
cal figure of his time. His imperialis-
tito policy, which led up to the South
African war, was bitterly attacked
and at times there were assaults on
his person, though none of them ever
were successful. His passing removed
the most outstanding figure in Brit
ish politics since his great antagonist
Gladstone died.
Chamberlain's end was peaceful All
the members OF his immediate family
were at the statesman's bedside when
he breathed his last.

" Petras for the murder of Their
- Hollander today. He testified

Tsestified for the state that he saw
Petras running toward tha scene Of
the murder, told him an entirely diff
ferent story than he told on the stand
Hickman told me that when Petras
got of the car he saw nim walk up
Indiana avenue" Baltasor testified
Hickman testified for thu state that
Petras turned and ran down New York
street, where the Hollander Girl
alighted from the car.
The state on cross examination
brought out the fact that Baltasor, q
cripple, has been acting as an agent
for Attorney Gunsul. chief OF counsel
for the defense. The defense will at
tempt to show that the police have ar
rested the wrong man in Tony Petras;
that It might have been one Of several
insane persons residing near the grave
yard who really committed the mur-
der.
DR.. w. A. Schwingle, who had prev
iously testified for the state, was call
ed by the defense and testified that
he had examined Petras' body at the
suggestion Of Chief Of Police Michaels,
for scratches and found none. He ad-
mitted that his examination was made
week after the girl was murdered.
Miss Mary Michaels. daughter Of Chief
Michaels, the stenographer at the
coroner's inquest, was called and read
her notes. Some OF the answers CIV
en- by witnesses were at variance with
what they had given at the trial.
Thomas Morrissette, a customer in
Baltasor's cigar store, corroborated
the latters testimony as to Hickman's
remarks. = Z.
Anthony Bafsecolis, fellow night
school student OF Petras, who had Dor
rowed Petras' knife on the night OF
the murder, declared that the knife
found near the murdered girl was not
the one owned by Petras.

Mathews, corroborated this testimony

VIENNA, July 3.-Even death the
leyelier today proved powerless to
break the iron rank distinctions OF
the Austrian court. The royal birth
Of Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand was
emphasized over that Of the countess
Hohenberg, his morganatic wife, as
the bodies OF the two victims OF an
assassin's bullets lay In state here In
the little chapel Of the royal palace OF
the Hofburg.
High on black catafalquea, the cas-
kets Of the dead heir to the Hapsburg
throne and his wife lowered In the
little chapel. But the arch-duke's body
lay in a golden coffin, while that OF
his life's partner was silver gray. And
the remains OF royalty were raised
one step higher than those OF the
woman who gave him her love and
life, who bore his children and whose
hands staunched the blood which pour
I ed forth to the shot OF the assassin

pires In Europe were on guard beside
the catafalaues which were shrouded
by the richest Of fabrics. Glittering
steel flashed In all the courts OF the
ancient palace and representatives Of
almost every noble Austrian house
which owed fealty to the line Of Franz
Ferdinand trooped IN and out OF the
little chapel In the whole district
about the palace, funeral bells tolled
and great throngs OF the populace held

diers and cuirassiers watched the pro.

remains Of the man who was to have
worn the double crown of Austro-
Hungary.
In the chapel the sanctuary's reH.

the flare OF huge waxen candles
which burned on each side OF the
caskets Beside them stood a guard

only the dull murmur Of the thou

Hofburg palace, Francis Joseph, the
aged emperor was being attended by
physicians In his beautiful palace at
Schoenbrunn. He was reported in a
