perhaps, not aware that the Asiatic

present ruling race to perpetuate
itself indefinitely has long ago been
anticipated by Orientials and kin

''Miss Jane Adams said she sees

Doctor Pusey, Native Of st. Andres
Island, Brings to Tragic End His
Suit For Affections of American
Young Woman

Correspondence of Associated Press)
Panama, Friday, April 2.-The lit
tie island of st. Andres, off the north
coast of Colombia, has just been the
scene of triple tragedy involving an
American and his daughter and a ma.
tive physician who recently graduated
from an American medical school IN
Memphis, Tenn. According to informa.
tion arriving by schooner DR.. z. Pusey
first killed Miss Robinson then shot
her father, Theodore Robinson and
later turning his revolver upon him
self, blowing out his brains.
For some time the doctor had been
frequent visitor at the home of the
Robinsons and had paid Miss Robin
son marked attention. His suit, how
ever, was not viewed with favor by
the young woman's parents and the
physician was given to understand
that he must cease his visits.
On the morning of March 2S Miss
Robinson, accompanied by friends,
started on horseback ride into the
country. A short distance from the lit
tie town they were met by DR., Pusey
who demanded that Miss Robinson ac-
company him to his office. This she re-
fused to do. The doctor then fred one
shot from his revolver into the back
of her head, killing her instantly.
Later the physician met Mr.. Rob-
inson, who had already heard of his
daughter death, and killed him in
stantly. The doctor then went to his
office where he committed suicide.

Fail of Naturalization Plans

Washington, April 10.-Failure of
negotiations on the part of the Ameri-
can government with the Mexican fac
tions for the naturalization of the Mex
lean capital and the railroad between
that city and Vera Cruz as the result Of
General qarranza refusal to give his
assent to the proposals caused much
disappointment in official circles to-day.
The Villa Zapata faction had agreed
to the proposition. General Carranza
gave military reasons for his action.
Acceptance of the proposals would have
enabled foreigners in Mexico City TO
travel to and from that city. Officials
of the State Department hope that the
railroads between the Mexican capital
and the American border, now inter
rupted by military operations, soon will
be repaired and accomplish the same
end.
Officials were hopeful also that the
Villa authorities at Chihuahua will not
enforce their recent decree for the for
feiture of mines upon which taxes are
not paid or upon which development
work is suspended beyond stated
period, protest against which has been
lodged by the department. The decree,
it is asserted, would work undue hard
ships ON foreigners, including Ameri-
cans, who own Mexican mines.

believed that the bullet travelled
through the muscles of his abdomen
but it is now thought that his intestines
were pierced.
Mr.. Reynolds felt a singing pain
in his side this morning while at the
throttle and believed that he was hit
by a stone and paid no attention to it.
Later he felt blood running from a
wound in his side. At Shippensburg
he was examined by a physician, who
sent him to the Harrisburg hospital
early this morning. He cannot explain
the mysterious shot in the dark.

BISHOP DUDS Loved Hiss
SONS EQUALLY. SAYS Will
Document Probated To-day Provides
That They Shall Share Alike in
His Estate-All the Property, In
cluding Big Farm, Goes to Family

Under the will of the late Bishop
Rudolph Dubs, which was probated by
Register OF Wills Roy c. Danner this
morning, the entire estate is left to the
family The will makes no reference
to the value of the estate. 1t is placed
in the hands of Irwin p. Bowman, an
attorney, and Mrs. Amanda Dubs, the
widow, as executors, and they are not
required to file bond. 1t also is pro.
vided that no formal appraisal of the
real estate and personal property need
be made. Bishop Dubs left five sons
and no daughters, and the will says:
"All sons shall inherit alike, because
/ love them all.'
The home furnishings ale given out
right to the widow and it is provided
that she also shall receive the income
from the personal property so long as
she lives or so long as she does not re-
marry. Should she remarry, then the
will provides that che no longer shall
offieiate as one of the executors of the
estate; that a son. Rudolph Sumner
Dubs, shall be substituted as the "sole
executor" and that thereafter the wild
ow shall receive only the income from
$1,000.
The widow also is given the right to
select from the Bishops valuable IL
brary any books which she may desire.
The sons then are to be permitted to
make selections from the library. Fol-
lowing the death of the widow a fund
of 81 1000 which it is provided shall be
invested for her benefit in the event
of her remarriage is to be equally di-
vided among the children.
The Bishops real estate and lots,
with the exception of an S0-acre tract
in Benton county, Iowa, is to be equal
ly divided among the FIVE sons, but
not until five years subsequent to the
Bishops death. The Iowa farm is not
to be sold unless consent to that sale
be given by the widow, and should that
be given the income and interest money
derived therefrom Is to go to the
widow, Gas a part of her maintenance
during her lifetime and widowhood. -
Mrs. Dubs is designated as guardian
for the minor son, Martin Carothers
Dubs. Another section provides that
in the event of the death of both Bish-
op and Mrs. Dubs before this son at
tains his majority then the minor is to
be educated, out of a fund to which
$500 a year, or so much of that amount
as may be necessary, is to be appropri-
ated until he reaches the age of 81.
The income from the three-story
apartment at 1918 Jansen avenue, Chi
cago, Ill.,, is to be paid to the widow
for her maintenance, and after her
death, or in the event of her remar-
riage, the house is to be sold and the
proceeds divided among the children.
Should any of the sons contest any or
all the provisions of the will, then it
is provided that they only shall receive
500. The executors are to receive
500 each.

Brumbaugh Signs the
Bill to Put National
Guard on Basis of
Regular Army
OFFICERS NO
LONGER ELECTED
They Hereafter VIII Be Appointed by
the Governor-Provisions Of the
New Law win Become Effective on
June 1, 1918

The State militia of Pennsylvania,
otherwise known as the National
Guard, will now be reorganized along
the lines of the formation of the reg
ular army, Governor Brumbaugh hav-
ing, as his last official act last night,
approved the bill providing for the
organization, discipline, maintenance
and regulation of the militia of the
Commonwealth, as the title of the bill
expresses it.
This reorganization bill does not
make such radical changes in the pres
ent makeup of the National Guard as
generally supposed. The division, bril-
gade, regimental and company forma-
tions remain the same, and the same
number of men are carried as at pres
ent. There will be no work begun
along reorganization lines until June l.,
1915. as the bill provides.
The most radical change in the
Guard is that the regimental and line
officers hereafter will be appointed by
the Governor, as Chief,
instead of being elected by the regi-
mental officers or the companies as a
whole. 1t is argued that the new sys-
tenn will prevent the playing of politics
by those who wish TO be elected to wear
shoulder-straps in the companies. 1t
is held that the bill will also lead to
better discipline, as it is held officers
who are not elected by the men under
them are not so apt to enforce strict
discipline for fear that when the time
comes for reelection they may not
again be chosen.
Adjutant General Stewart is in
Washington to-day comforting with the
national authorities.

mileage BOOK Thief IS
BUSY AGAIN AT COLUMBIA
Mysterious Station Robber Resumes
Operations After Soiourn In Pitts
burgh Where He Disposed of His
Loot

The mileage book thief who breaks
into ticket offices in broad daylight is
busy again. His raids on the Cumber-
land Valley and on lower Dauphin
county stations were not his last opera
tions. After brief sojourn, during
which he disposed of seven or more
Highspire mileage books in Pittsburgh,
and entered several small stations near
that place, he came back to Columbia
on Thursday, where he secured a ticket
stamper so that he could stamp the
books in regular form and thus dis
pose of them with the least difficulty.
Operating during daylight, usually
between the hours of IL and p. M, he
has remained mystery to the railroad
police, who are anxious to lay hands
on him.
Since his initial visit in this section
he has made away with $500 worth
of mileage books to the CONSERVATION
of the police. The books are void un-
less stamped with the stamp Of sta
tion and the date of sale. Seven books
stolen from the Highsplre station were
found in Pittsburgh with stamps Of a
small Western Pennsylvania town on
them. His stealing the ticket stamp at
Columbia is believed by the police to
indicate that he is going to stamp some
Western Pennsylvania books with the
Columbia stamp.
His smooth way OF getting into a
station has attracted the admiration of
the railroad police. He can pick Yale
lock with the ease of one using key
to open it and usually does it at time
when there are persons around. Strange
as 1T may seem he has AVOIDED detection
and he remains a mystery.
His profit out of his work comes
from disposing of the books to pawn
shops who handle mileage books and to
ticket brokers. Nine pawn shops were
victimized in Pittsburgh. In most in
stances he has stamped the books in
regular order and taken some miles out
of the books, together with the extra
baggage checks. Books so arranged
easily deceived the pawn dealers.

EXPLOSION AT MT. HOLLY
Jacob Miller, Occupant Of Log Cabin
Near Which Dynamite Was Placed,
Tells Police His "Enemies' Are
Responsible

Mt. Holly, April 10.-A dynamic ex-
plosion that last night shook the earth
for miles around here, shattered win
dows in many homes, disturbed the res
idents from their slumbers and preceded
a fire that subsequently destroyd fifty
acres of timberlind, was the cause here
and jim Carlisle to-day of police in
quiry that is expected to result in at
least one arrest before night.
The explosion and FIRE occurred with
in 100 feet of the picturesque log cabin
on the farm of Percy Harmon, local
merchant, which for years has been oc-
cupied by Jacob Miller, his wife and
their four children. Yesterday Miller
was served by constable with a quit
notice, the owper, Harmon, having be-
gun legal action to have the cabin va
Gated. Miller to-day declared, the police
say, that the explosion and FIRE were
caused by his Z" enemies"
On the other hand the police here de-
clsred they have warrant for the ar
rest of Miller on the charge of threae
ening the life of Harmon, the land
owner. Harmon alleges that Miller,
armed with a shotgun, had maliciously
pursued him, until the tenant of the
cabin feared his home was in danger of
icing destroyed by the fire that swept
through the forest.
The quantity of dynamite exploded
near the cabin last night has been .vari-
ously estimated, some believing that as
many as a. dozen sticks were discharged.
The belief prevailed here that fire
was started in the leaves preliminary
to the discharge of the dynamite. The
fire spread to the timberland and was
not extinguished until it had swept
over fifty acres Of the forest.
