HENNESS FORCES THE ISSUE She la at Conference, Often In Tears, and the Matter Has Jleen Or dereel Considered mtm Spe cial Chnreh Trial. KEOKUK, la., Sept. 20. The Iowa confer ence of the Methodist church was aroused today by the sudden snd unexpected pres entation of the case of Rev. P. J. Henness, one of its members now living in South Dakota. Mr. Hennees separated from his wife during the last year and refuses to state the reason.' His wife Is here at the conference, often In tears, and her hus band will not speak to her. Mr. Henness tried to have the case ventilated on the floor of the conference, but Bishop Ham ilton referred it to a trial by a committee of eleven members, with two Judge advo cates and two attorneys for Henness. Ths charges before the trial committee, which la alttlng with closed doors,' are that under ths conditions Heqnees Is not a suitable minister to be sent out as a pastor. No queatlon of sexual morality Is involved. The verdict will settle the policy of the ofaurcb on a new question. Henness and his attorneys Insisted that a correspondent of the press be admitted to the sessions of ths trial committee, but this was refused 'and executive aessiona were ordered. Ths trial makes a sensation in ths conference and Is expected to continue until Monday. Tonight a second bombshell exploded when friends of Henness began to call at tention to the fact that his case is parallel with that of ons of the oldest bishops of the church. They are talking that if this conference decides refusal to live with his wife Is unclerlcal conduct, then the Iowa conference must memorialize- the general conference of the church to take action on the case of that bishop. It is claimed that today'a proceedings will have results as far-reaching as Methodism. FAIRBANKS OPENS CAMPAIGN padlaaa Senator Talks of Trusts and Revision of Tariff lays Action honld Be Cradnal.

Stratton was filed for pro bate this afternoon. He leaves $1,000,000 to build the Myron Stratton home for sick persons in the city, and bequeaths the re sidue of his estate after being turned Into cash, to the maintenance of the home. Carl 8 Chamberlain of Brooklyn, N. Y.. D. H. Rice of this city, and Tyson S. Dines are the executors. Ths will bears date of Au gust 5, 1902. The will of Mr. Stratton leaves the family homestead, No. 115 North Weber street, to Carl Chamberlain of Brooklyn, N. Y., in cluding all furniture, books, heirlooms and so forth, but excludes all personal property. It leaves to F. W. Hamlin, son of Mrs. Har riett T. Hamlin of Jeflersonvllle, Ind., $50. 000; to a nephew, Harry B. Hamlin, 50, 000; to Mrs. Jennie Cobb Stratton of San Jose, Cal., 160,000; to Mrs. Mary Cobb Smith, a niece, $50,000; to Lillian 8.

Son's Gift Has Stipulations. The will then reads: "To my son, I. Harry Stratton of Tulon, 111., $50,000, In case he does not contest or cause to be con tested, this will." This son has lived away from ths father ever since he was born. Concerning him there has been much spec ulation, as Mr. W. S. Stratton was divorced from his wife immediately after the birth of the boy. The son visited the father but two or three times In life and arrived In this city only after the death of the multi millionaire. He is still In the city. Ths will further provides that $10,000 be left to Byron C. Logan of Indianapolis, Ind., and to the trustees of the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind of this city, $25,000 to be expended in bettering the conditions of the present school buildings.

From the moneys so realized $1, 000.000 Is to be expended In purchasing a suitable site In this city for the home, after which the balance Is to be utilized in erect ing all suitable buildings. It Is believed that another instrument exists, giving some plans for the home, and the specifications for building, and the management of the in stitution. Objects of the Home. The objects of the Myron Stratton home are specified to be "the erection of the home for persons unable to earn their live lihood; who either through advanced age, physical debility or otherwise, are handi capped." The will expressly shuts out all those who by reason of loathsome disease, gross Indecency or Insanity would Imperil the health and happiness of other inmates. The Inmates are selected by the board of trus tees from residents of El Paso county. In which this city ia located, after which resi dents of the state may be received. The will further provides that the active management may be left to a board of trus tees and that proper Incorporation of the Institute be made under law. The accounts of tho home shall be supervised by the dis trict court, or of a board of Inspectors to be provided for by the laws of the institu tion. In order to secure the malntalnance of the Myron Stratton home. Mr. Stratton Instructs the balance of the estate not utilized in the establishment of the institution be rein vested In good interest-bearing securities, the Income from which Is to be turned over to the trustees to be used according to their discretion in keeping up the home. ZANGWILL ISJflUCH PLEASED Ho Considers Hay's Recent Note a Noble and Historic Document, Setting; Grand Precedent. LONDON, Sept. 20. Secretary Hay's note to ths powers which signed ths Berlin treaty of 1878, on the subject of Rouma- nla'a treatment of the Jews, bss aroused widespread Interest In the Jewish commu- ntry of London. Israel Zangwlll, the au thor, who Is an authority among his co-re- llgionlsts and a ceaseless worker for the improvement of the position of the poorer among them, said to a representative of the Associated Press: "Secretary Hay's nots regarding the Rou manian violation of ths treaty of Berlin Is a noble, blstorio document, setting a precedent In political righteousness. It is a worthy pendant to President Roosevelt's setting The Hague International arbitra tion court in motion. Both tend to the creation of a non-existent branch of Jus ticeinternational ethics ths absence of which makes our civilisation a farce, since all evil Is sanctioned It only enough people commit It. "America cannot be seriously Injured by Jewish Immigration and Its action was un doubtedly chivalrous. Yet. as ths main refuge aad bops of ths homeless Jew, it has a technical caas for Interference, even though not represented at ths Berlin con gress. Tbs world Is all Inter-connected with any action of ons power that tends to incommode another. It Is practically an act of aggression. Mors especially should this principle bs pushed to Its ut most limits when monstrous Injustice Is being perpetrated and an unoffending pop ulation Is being dons to death. It the Eu ropean powers do not Interfere to enforce ths treaty of Berlin I do not see how they can escape the deduction that violation of treaties is a casus belli only when some commercial interest is to bs exploited."

TELLS DETECTIVES SEARCH IS VAIN Declare that He Waa Soon to Kill Himself Officers Half Inclined to Accept .Note na Gennlne, NEW YORK. Sept. 20. Captain Tltua ot the detective bureau hns Juet received through the malls a short note supposed to have been wrltpn by Hooper Young, sus pected of the murder of Mrs. Joseph Pul itzer, It waa enclosed In a small envelope, such ae Is used in hotels for sending cards to the rooms of guests. Inside the envelope was a small abeet of paper on which was written: "Search in vain. I have killed myself. "H. YOUNO." After a comparison with the known haud writing and signature of the missing man. Captain Titus, while not openly declaring that It was genuine, said that It did not look like the work of a crank and that the aignature was written by a man evi dently used to writing it. An autopsy performed on the-body of Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, who was mysteriously murdered in a Fifty-eighth street flat and whose body was found In the Morris canal, showed that her death was caused primarily by a knife wound In the abdomen and not by chloral. Several blows were struck on the head before death, but the skull waa not fractured and there waa no signs of cerebral bemmorhage. A police dragnet has been thrown out for William Hooper Young, grandson of the great Mormon leader, Brlgham Young, who Is suspected ot the killing. Among the books found in Young's room In the flat was the cover ot a small memo randum, on the front of which was stamped In gilded letters, "Practical Reference." On the Inside were a number of notes headed "Blood Atonement," and followed by biblical references. Including an excerpt from the Book of Corinthians, reading: "To deliver such an one unto aatan for ths destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may survive in the day of the Lord Jesus." Detectives have traced Young to Brook lyn, where he went on Thursday morning to bid a friend goodby. To this friend he said he was going to the Rocky mountains. A trunk shipped to Chicago through the Wells-Fargo express was consigned to C. S. Filing. The police do not believe it contained anything other than clothing be longing, poeslbly, to Mrs. Pulitzer, as very little of the murdered woman's apparel has been found. John W. Young, father of the man sus pected of the murder, who Is now In Paris, has communicated with friends In this city, informing them that he will return to New York for the purpose of defending his son. Mr. Young has also cabled Instruc tions to his most Intimate friend to .employ counsel for his son. Chicago Detective Gets Trnnk. CHICAGO, Sept. 20.

It was con signed to C. S. Filing and marked "hold until called for." As no such nams Is in the Chicago di rectory the conclusion was reached that the name was fictitious. The express offi cials gave Detective Lieutenant Rohan permission to examine the package. In the trunk were found a blood-stained dagger, aeveral articles of feminine spparel marked "A.
