4am Deputy Sheriff Lund of Oklahoma,
who came here for the purpose of arresting
Frank Shercllffe, the chief witness against
Tom Dennison, last night received a check
from Elmer Thomas for liti for his ex
penses. Lund demanded of Thomas 141 as
the amount of his expenses, but alter sev
eral conferences between the two, Lund
was forced to take the 128.
When Lund first struck Red Oak It was
repotted that this- was an effort on the
part of Tom Dennison to got Shercllffe
out of tho way, and this rumor was used
to prejudice tho people of Red Oak against
Dennison. The fact that Elmer Thomas
himself and Lund to come here came as a
revelation, but that It Is a fact the check
which Mr. Thomas signed last night Is
proof conclusive.
Lund and Chief of Police Donahue of
Omaha had a conference relating to Bher
cllffe, and to a reporter for The Bee Lund
aid Thomas made arrangements with his
county attorney for him to come to Red
Oak, bring the letters and testify In the
ca se.
"When I got here they concluded they
could not use the letters and I did not
. go on the stand," said Lund.
Judge Smith of tho prosecution said he
did not know Lund had comehere for the
defense until after the evidence' had all
been submitted, when Lund came to him
and told htm about It,
"It was too late then to use Lund." said
Smith, but Smith said he advised Thomas
p pay the man's expenses.
Surprise to Offlclala,
One official of Montgomery county who
has been In constant attendance at the
trial said he had been led to believe that
Lund hud been brought here by the de
fense, and said he was astounded when he
learned that Lund had a check from Elmer
Thomas,
One who has been very intimate . with
Shercllffe sold Shercllffe told him that he
had been given to understand by the at
torney for the prosecution that Lund had
been brought hre to get him out of tho
state, but that If Shercllflo would stand
pat on his testimony the prosecution, hav
ing already made arrangements, would see
that he was not taken out of the state as
long as the second Indictment hung over
Dentition.
An argument of Egan by the defense and
an argument by Smith of the prosecution
Just two more speeches, and the fate of
Tom Dennison will rest with the Jury. It
la believed now that the Jury will rotlre
to deliberate, not later than noon of Tues
day. Nine days were consumed In the in
troductlon of evidence, one day for the se
lection of a Jury and one day had been
taken up with arguments. One more day
will be used for completing the arguments.
The case has been one of the most un
usual as well as the most sensational ever
tried in this section of the state and It has
attracted the greatest Interest. Every day
the people of Red Oak have packed the court
room and the case has been the topic of
all conversations. The most prominent peo
pie In the city have been in attendance and
Mr. and Mrs. Dennison have been show
lered with kindness and sympathy. On one
occasion Judge McPherson walked over to
Dennison during the trial of the case and
ahook hands with him. Other prominent
men have dona the same thing, while Mrs
Dennison has been constantly surrounded
with prominent women of Red Oak.
Much Bitterness In Case.
The case has beet murkeU for Its bitter
ness which cropped out at every oppor
tunity. The lawyers have quibbled and

MASSACRE OF SUMATRANS
Dutch Soldiers Are Said to Have
Been Guilty of Gross
Barbarity.
AMSTERDAM, Juno 4.-(Sperlal Cable
gram to The Bee.) The Telegraph publishes
vivid account of the massacre of women
and children by a Dutch force at the vil
lage of Batoe-Batoe In Sumatra laRt April.
The affair created a great stir when the
news first reached Europe. 1 he official
explanation was that the killing of the
women ant children was unavoidable, . as
the warriors pushed them to the front
and used them as shields.
M. Wybrands, editor of the News of the
Day of the Dutch Indies, published at Ba
tavia, who has carefully investigated the
facts in the case, sends to the Telegraph a
detailed account of the tragedy. Tills shows
that the village was first set on fire by
the troops.
"The people could not escape," he says,
because of the fire started at one end
with petroleum by the besiegers which
spread and prevented them doing so. Upon
their leaving at the other end the deadly
lead of our men met them. And what
that deadly lead could not accomplish was
completed by tne fire. Batoe-Butoe Is
burnt with almost all the Inhabitants.
"The wounded shared the fate of those
killed by the bu'llets for they were roasted
or suffocated In the flames."
CHAMBERLAIN WRITES LETTER

on Corn,
LONDON. June 4 (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The following letter from Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain was read by I.ady
Ilchester this week at the annual meeting
of the Women's association of the Tariff
Reform league:
At this time and In view of the possibili
ties of an early election, we want the
hearty suport of all our friends, to coun
terbalance the gross misrepresentations of
our opponents, both as to tho objects and
result of our policy.
To listen to these critics one would sup
pose that a trilling duty of 2 shillings per
quarter on corn, which is less than the
ordinary fluctuation in price, and corre
sponds to less than 1 farthing per loaf,
would reduce the people of this country
to starvation; and that It was to our in
terest to allow the foreigner to enter our
markets and compete . with our workers
without paying anything at nil toward the
rates and taxes of the country.
At the same time our competitors are en
gaged in closing tneir markets to our
products. In such a competition as this
we must De oenten ana the proof Is already
before us In the great Increase which has
taken place in foreign exports, while ours
tc them have decreased. To meet this
condition and to secure more employment
lor the working classes we propose a trans
fer of taxation, taking off taxes from artl
cles such ss tea, sugar and tobacco, which
are wholly paid by the people at home, and
substituting a moderate tax on luxuries
and on articles the duties on which will be
largely paid by the foreigner.

(From a Staff Correspondent. V
WASHINGTON, June 4. (Special.) A
great grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, king
of Westphalia, and a grand nephew of the
first Napoleon, will, on July 1, become tho
head of one of the most powerful and In
fluential departments of the government.
The appointment of Charles Joseph Bona
parte as secretary of the navy came like
an electric shock to the official life of
Washington. Again President Roosevelt
astonished all Wushlngton by making a
wholly unexpected appointment. To those
who have been more or less Intimate with
the Navy department the appointment of
Mr. Bonaparte is looked upon as one of
the strongest cat-ds the president has played
since he became the head of the nation.
Mr. Roosevelt knows the Navy department.
He served there as assistant secretary Just
before the Spanish war broke out and
possibly appreciating that some changes
ought to be made he picked out a man
who possibly, above all other men, Is best
equipped to bring about those changes
without ftar or favor. Long before Mr.
Bonaparte became known as a "thief
catcher" and a "crook taker" he had
earned throughout the east a reputation
for fearlessness and Independence such as
no other man In the land acquired. His
Intense hatred for hypocrisy and his love
for homely honesty endeared him to Pres
ident Roosevelt and that was the reason
why he was chosen as the senior special
counsel in the prosecution of the post-
fflce grafters. And his success In bring
ing the grafters to Justice unquestionably
had much to do with his selection as Sec
retary Paul Morton's successor.
Maryland Will Howl.
Tht appointment, however, of the great
grandson of a king and the grandnephew
f an emperor will not be accepted with
any degree of felicitation on the part of
he republican organization in Maryland.

Bonaparte's elevation as the recognized
dispenser of patronage in the oriole utate.

a leading republican, who has to do with
the Navy department and the secretary. In
the way of securing places for henchmen
In navy yards or In the Washington gun
hop, will find In Charles Joseph Bonaparte
an unresponsive and unsympathetic list
ener.
'It will bo woe unto the seekers after
soft Jobs in the navy and the people who
try to bring Influence to bear upon assign
ments to duty will wish that they had
never been born when they encounter Mr.
Bonaparte. He despises politics looking
upon it as a slimy, game. He lias prob
ably voted the democratic ticket as often
aa the republican and has no use for 'poll
tlcians," was the way the gentleman above
referred to expressed himself when talking
to The Bee correspondent about the Bona'
parte appointment. Personally, Mr. Bona'
parte is a charming gentleman. He is pos
sibly one of the greatest American orators,
with a superb flow of sarcasm and a mar
velous flow of pure English. Essentially
scholar, Mr. Bonaparte loves nothing
better than to be able to cloister himself
In his magnificent library In his residence
on Park Row, Baltlmoro, and at his country
seat In Hartford county, Maryland. Mr.
Bonaparte hates crowds, and nothing fives
him the fidgets" so much aa to be com
pelled to attend a public reception.
As a cabinet officer, while he will be com
peuoa Dy reason oi nis position to give a
certain number of public functions and din
ners, It Is "dollars to doughnuts" that Mr.
Bonaparte will limit his invitations to the
barest possible number the occasion de
mands.
Bonaparte Is American.
Mr. Bonaparte Is an American, through
and through. He cares little for foreign
travel and the places made famous by the
deeds of his ancestors have no charm for
him. He is perhaps prouder of hia grand
mother than of bis more historical ancest
ors. She waa Elizabeth Patterson, the
daughter ol a Baltimore merchant and
known aa one of the most beautiful women
of her time, one of the group of Balu-
moreuns that had won wide distinction for
comeliness and brilliancy.
Mr. Bonaparte Is a duxi ut Roman Cath

only Roman Catholic in Mr. Roosevelt's
official family, succeeding in that purlieu

Brownlow's Proposed Kew State.
Representative Brownlow of Tennessee is
seriously in earnest about creating a new
state out of the mountain portion of North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Vlr

Colonel Brownlow realises that the con
sent of the four slates la necessary to
bring about this dream of his and he does
not understand why this consent cannot
be had. lie stated yesterday when In
Washington that the mountain sections of
the states referred to were wholly out of
sympathy with the other portions of those
commonwealths. Thai in southeastern
Kentucky the political sentiment was prac
tically unanimous In Its republicanism.
That the same thing waa true in eastern
Tennessee. Western North Carolina and
southeastern Virginia are much In the same
boat and he for one, he said, would work
day and night to bring about the segrega

erected into a commonwealth unexcelled In
its mineral resources and rich in patriot

countless difficulties In the way he has
profound hope that If the legislatures of
the states referred to, democratlo as they
are, will not agree to the separation then
the whole thing will be put up to congress

B. F. Dlffenbacher preached the memorial

his spirit of unselfish dovotion that gave

THREE PEOPLE ARE MURDERED
Yonnsr Man and Two Girls Found
Dead When OnnfJ of House
Returns Home.
HII.L8EORO, O., June 4. Three young
persons, Madge Dines, aged 14; Nettle Hart,
aged 16, and George Baldwin, aged 18, were
found shot to death In an upper room In
the home of Ed Dines, a farmer and father
of Madge, three miles out of the city late
tonight. The girls were uliiln with a re
volver. The man's brains were blown out
with a shotgun. The latter weapon was
found in the room in which the bodies lay.
The theory that the young man murdered
the two girls and then committed suicide
s not entertained, though certain circum
stances point to that conclusion. A fourth
person Is suspected, but the Identity of
the alleged murderer and his motive are
withheld.
The discovery was made by Mr. and Mrs.
Dines on returning from Hillsboro, where
they had attended the baccalaureate ser
mon at the graduation exercises of the
high school. Details of the relationship of
the young people have not been learned by
the police, except that George Baldwin Is
a son of a neighboring farmer and is a
friend. He visited the home ostensibly to
protect the girl because of the absence of
Mr. and Mrs. Dines. Nettle Hart is said

BERLIN, June 4. All the visiting princes
and princesses dined with Emperor William
andy Empress Augusta Victoria tonight in
honor of the Duchess Cecilia and the
crown prince, Frederick William, who are
to be married next Tuesday. Altogether
240 persons were present at the dinner and
included among the guests were cabinet
ministers, generals and admirals. Duchess
Cecilia made a remarkable personal Im
presslon on the guests. She waa animated.
cordial and unaffected. Emperor William
took Grand Duchess Anastasta to table and
by his attention to her quite disproved the
stories of discord between them.
At the conclusion of the dinner Duchess
Cecilia called for two glasses of champagne
and handed them to the two pagea who
bore her train.
There were no toasts. The dinner ended
as a torchlight procession of students with
flags and music came down Unter den

balcony where the duchess and crown
prince stood In a brilliant light so that the
marchers could see them.

CHICAGO, June 4. An adjustment of the
teamsters' strike by n-edtatlon seems as
remote tonight as It did two months ago.
Peace negotiations begun last week, which
promised to bring about an amicable ad
justment of the difficulty, have been aban
doned for the present, at least, and the
rtrikc will be allowed to take its natural
course, according to President Shea of
the teamsters' organlEalion. A natural
course means one of two things, either a
spread of tho strike or defeat for tho union.
as an Dusincss firms now involved in tne pir iv
trouble absolutely refuse to concede any
thing further In the controversy or to bring
about a settlement.
Peace negotiations are oft for all time,"
said Levy Mayer, chief counsel for the em
ployers' tonight. "We absolutely are fin
ished with all conferences with strikers.
The only thing that prevented a settlement
of the whole trouble last night was pique
on the part of President Shea because ho
had been Blighted In the conferences and
was angered on account of his arrest In
connection with libel charges filed by Mr.
Thome of the Montgomery Ward company.
The only way that a settlement can bo
reached now is for the strikers to acknowl
edge defeat."
Stntenient of Shea.
"The employers blocked a settlement Inst
night," said President Shea today. "Their
objection to the men wearing union but
tons and a refusal to agree not to dis
criminate against the strikers was all that
prevented the calling oft of the strike. Wo
feel that our position Is as strong as It was
a month ago and we are not going to
give In now that we believe that we have
the struggle practically won. Those busi
ness Arms Involved In the strike are losing
money every day and they are getting tired
of It. They will soon be willing to come
to us and sue for peace. Our men are
perfectly satisfied with matters as they are
and we are not going to accept any prop
osition from the employers which would In
any way affect the standing of tho Team
sters' union."
The spread of the strike depends upon a
meeting to be held tomorrow between tho
Chicago Team Owners' association and tho
Commission Merchants' association. This
meeting has been called for tho purpose of
deciding whether the two associations will
make deliveries to the strike-bound houses.
These two organizations have been anxious
all along for this question to be left to itr
bltratlon. and at a meeting of the Chicago
team owners last week the teamsters were
given five days In which to come to a con
elusion in the mntter. The teamsters In
urn put the question up to the Truck
Drivers' union for a referendum vote, as
the greater portion of the employes of the
Chicago Team Owners' association belong
to this organisation. This vote Is ached
uled to be taken on Tuesday.
Tomorrow's meeting between the com
mission men and the Chicago Team Own.
ers association Is for the purpose of mak
lng arrangements to meet any emergency
that may arise ' In case the vote of tho
truck drivers is against the proposition of
making deliveries Irrespective of whether
firms are Involved In the strike or not.
Means Blsrarer Strike.
The majority of the members of these
two teaming organizations are said to bo
In favor of making deliveries to tho boy
cotted houses, and should their drivers re
fuse to do so. It Is the general belief that
all of these men will go on strike. Should
they do so, it would bring several thousand
more workmen Into the strike.
Albert Young, former president of tho
Teamsters' union, for whom a capias was
Issued yesterday, has not yet been found
although deputy sheriffs sought him all to
day. The capias was Issued for Young aa
a result of a suit filed by Robert J. Thorno
In the superior court, who asks $2R.0n0
damages on the grounds of tho alleged
slandering of tho complainant.
Trouble at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, June 4. The union bak

pay for nine hours work In shops where
machines were used. The union men as
sert that they have won over to their side
all but eight of the most Important em

IM.EASIRE GARDEN
Are
Troops Appear When Police
Vnahle to Handle Crowd.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 5,-At a great
demonstration this evening In the Pavlovsk
garden near Tsarskoe Selo the fi.000 persons
present clamored for a funeral march In
memory of the Russian sailors who had
lost their lives In the Sea of Japan. The
members of the orchestra became fright
ened and fled from the platform when M.
Novlkoff, former mayor of Baku, rose and
said:
"Let us all by rising show respect for the
victims. Down with the war. We have had
enough blood."
Some eighty policemen entered from
either side of the hall and elbowed their
way toward M. Novlkoff, whereupon cries
were raised of;
"Let us attack the police."
Chairs were seized and hurled at the po
lice, the crowd being led by a colonel with
a drawn sword. The policemen fled. Order
being restored a number of speeches were
delivered on the national crisis. Suddenly
the police, reinforced to betwen 200 and
3u0, suddenly reappeared with drawn
Bwords. After ten minutes the people were
driven Into the garden where there was a
battalion of troops who raised their rifles
to their shoulders preliminary to the order
to fire being given, causing a panic. The
public fled toward the exits and finding
them closed smashed the doors and win
dows of the hall and so gained the street.
M. Novikoff was arrested and tho gardens
wero occupied by police and Cossacks. A
strong military force was placed on the
road leading from Pavlovsk to Tsarskoe
Selo and at the railway station. People
returning to St. Petersburg from the gar
dens spread accounts of tho affair, which
soon became a general topic.
Pavlovsk is nineteen miles from St
Petersburg and is a summer resort for In
habitants of the city. Concerts are given
there dally and they are frequented by
the fashionables. '
RUSSIAN PIBLIC WANTS PEACE
Offer of President Roosevelt Is 'Well
Received.
ST. PETERSBURG, Juno 8. President
Roosevelt's tender of his good offices to
bring about peace Is received with general
favor in the press and by the public and a
desire that some steps should be taken
towards securing an honorable peace Is In
creasingly manifest.
The Russ declares that the president's
offer should be commended as an act of
friendship tending to bring out Japan's
terms of peace, and Russia's acceptance of
an offer which would not mean surrender
on humiliating terms. The paper maintains
at the same time that negotiations if be
gun must be direct and that there muat be
no Intervention by other powers.
The Bourse Gazette says that Russia
must make the best possible use of the
friendly offices of the United States and
Great Britain. This paper, 'as well as the
Syno Tchestva and the Nashazhlsn and
others, advances the idea that Japan will
be disposed to grant better terms to the
Russian people than to the bureaucrats who
began the war. These papers reiterate the
demand for a zemsky zabor to settle it,
Even the Grashdanln declares peremptorily
for peace, the Novoe Vremya alone dis
sentlng from the general chorus by saying
that peace Is not so essential as "foreign
and international enemies" imagine, and
picturing Great Britain, tho United States
and the continental powers as beginning to
tremble in face of "the yellow danger."
Members of the diplomatic corps Sunday
expressed their pleasure that President
Roosevelt had taken the lead In urging
Russia to give up the prosecution of the
war, but they said they were apprehensive
that the president's efforts would be fruit
less. Baron Rosen, the new ambassador to
Washington, does not seem to be acceler
ating his departure on account of develop
ments In the United States. He will sail
on July 27.
