DOUBLE MURDER
 IN SAN FRANCISCO
Spokane Business Man Shot By Wife Who Then Sends Bullet
 Through Her Heart

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-A double murder occurred here this morning when Margaret Binnard shot and killed her husband and then turned the revolver upon herself sending bullet through her heart causing instant death. The couple were occupying apartments in down town hotel, having come to the coast in anticipation of the opening of the exposition.
 Abraham Binnard, the dead man. was we'll known business man ot Spokane and a pioneer resident of that city. The police have been un' able to learn any cause of the double tragedy as the couple always ap- peared to be happy in each others company. They express the belief that Mrs. Binnard committed the deeds while laboring under tempo. rary insanity.

CANADIAN PORTS
 HAVE BEEN CLOSED
All Vessels Must Receive Permis- sion From Naval Authorities
 Before Entrance.

QUEBEC. Feb. 15.-Notice has been served on foreign nations that all Ca nadian ports have been closed and that no ships will be allowed to enter her harbors except those which have been inspected by customs and na- val authorities and permission grant ed.
 The order applies to all Canadian ports but special warning is given foreign shipping that Quebec, Halifax and Esquimalt harbors are dangerous to approach unless guided by Cana dian naval officers.
 It is believed that the order clos ing the ports to foreign shipping re- suits from the threatened activities of the German admiralty in retalia- tion for the British embargo against foodstuffs to Germany. The recent destruction of the international bridge by a German officer has caused the government to fear that German sym pathizers in America will attempt to enter the Canadian ports on disguis' ed vessels for the purpose of destroy ing the harbors with explosives.

 The secretary stated that the route from Portage bay around Turnagain Arm, up Susitna valley and cross. ing the divide at Broad pass, thence through to Fairbanks on the Tanana river would be four hundred and eighteen miles.
