SENT TO GU|LLOTINE
 ALSO PRISON TERM
Special Cable)

-4ssaas BERLIN, Feb. 14-Karl Hopf, the Frankfort fencing master who mur- dered his father, his first wife and his two children, and attempted to murder his mother and his second and third wives, was found guilty on both charges. He was sentenced to death for the murders and to fifteen years hard labor for the. attempted murders
 The prison sentence of course, is a pure fOrmality, as HOpf will be beheaded. He took his sentence with amazing coolness.
 Evidence given at the trial showed the presence of large quantities of arsenic in the bodies of Hopfs vic tims. It was also stated that when the police raided HOpf's house they found cultures of such deadly dis cases as typhus, cholera and glan- ders, which Hopf, who had some training as a chemist, explained by saying that he used them for experi- ments on dogs.
 Suspicion was cast on Hopf by the deaths and mysterious illnesses of his relatives, all of whom were heav- fly insured in his favor. His first wife, who was insured for $5,000. died three years after her marriage. His second wife, who was insured for $7,500, left him after she had fallen ill of a mysterious disease from which her child died, and his third wife, who was insured for $2O,O0O, also left him after a mys- terious Illness
 The announcement of Hopfs sen Jence was received with cheers by a large crowd outside the Franklin law courts.

START WAR AGAINST
 AMERICAN TOBACCO.
lSnecial Cahlel


 BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The German authorities have opened in a sensational manner q carefully-pre- pared and long premeditated war on the American tobacco trust. Dres- den, the chief center of the German tobacco industry, hasa been greatly surprised during the last few days at numerous mysterious and lengthy visits bv strong forces of police to about twenty-five of the principal tobacco firms in the city.
 At first it was thought that the action was connected with an eX- tensive and lately discovered system of tobacco smuggling over the Bo- hemian frontier, but now it trans pires that the visits have to do with the alleged illegal doings of firms in connection With the American trust
 According to German law any dealings with organizati ations the pur- pose of whose existence or the con- stitution of which is withheld from the state government, or dealings

of the police have been surpassed, and that some firms believed to be free from all connection with the trust were found to be concerned. That the trust has been doing eX- tremely well in Germany is thought to be confirmed by the discovery that one firm last year increased its sale of cigarettes by 500,000,000
 Messrs. JasmatZis commercial of- fees are in Berlin, and there it is stated that the firm has never con- cealed it's dealings with foreign con- cerns, but that those connections do no bear the character of participa- ton in the doings of the trust.
 Germany, like other European gov- ernments. exercises a monopoly of the tobacco industry and will not tolerate any opposition.

Several witnesses testified that the

WICKERSHAM' S OK.

Members Of City Council sitsih5 as
committee Of the whole. last evon-
ing, took up nc matter Of payment OF
the bill OF John p. Tay-
lor. the efficiency expert, for SSS4, as
the final payment for his services in
making an investigation OF the local
police department
The bill has been offered in coun-
ell but has been held up owing to the
fact that several of the members de-
sired to question Mr. Taylor upon
several matters contained In his re-
port, before paying the bill
When the bill was offered last
Thursday night, Colonel Slower,
chairman of the finance committee,
announced that the bill did not bear
the approval of the finance commit
tee, and it was therefore tabled.
When the bill was brought up last
night several of the Councilmen urged
that the bill be paid, while others op-
posed this action.
Colonel Slower remarked that the
Police Commission seemed to be sat
isfied that Mr.. Taylor had fulfilled
the terms of his contract with them
and he therefore thought the bill
should be paid.
The question was raised as tC
whether or not, General 4. Pusey
Wickersham, the member OF the Po
| lice Commission, who had failed tC
approve the bill, would be willing tC
sign Il now, and it was finally de
cided to refer the bill back to the
Police Commission to obtain Genera
Wickersham's approval before takinl
further action in the matter
