XV OAK. la., June 4 (Special Tele 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.

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 Makes Sport of Those Who Oppose Small Revenue Duly 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.

Including a service at the Spanish church, a visit to the museum of hows that neither side lias overlooked the the Louvre and the witnessing of the smallest detail in the case. Yet with all the seriousness ih the case It has had lis humorous sides. Especially did Pollock furnish amusement when he was here. He was guarded constantly every minute of the day by a six-foot Plnkerton, who was never out of his sight. Waking and sleeping that Plnkerton was never more than a few feet from his charge.

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. fact muttering? are already heard against the president's selection and ex ceedingly lively times are anticipated be fore the leaders of the republican party n Maryland will quietly acquiesce in Mr. Bonaparte's elevation as the recognized dispenser of patronage in the oriole utate. he politician, according to the views of 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 ollc and will probably attend mass daily Deioru going to ills desk. He will be the only Roman Catholic in Mr. Roosevelt's official family, succeeding in that purlieu lar Robert J. Wynne, former postmaster general and now consul general at London. The new secretary Is a uiao of large wealth He Is an aristocrat of the aristocrats and how he will get along with the run of pol ltlclans, big and little, good and bad, will Ue u positive aeilgiit to watch. 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 ginla. He resents with all the forcible language at his command the assurtlon thai practical politics is behind this movement. 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 lions or tne sections above referred to and erected into a commonwealth unexcelled In its mineral resources and rich in patriot mm. vt one ne realises mat there are 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 for final action. The Memorial services for Magnolia camp No. 833, Modern Woodmen of America, held at Saratoga Congregational church, corner of Ames avenue and Twenty-fifth street?, Sunday morning, were laiKely at tended and full of Impressive Interest. Rev. B. F. Dlffenbacher preached the memorial sermon, which was full of feeling most elo quently expre-ised, and greatly appreciated by the camp and its friends. He spoke of the brotherly love prevailing In the order, and its devotion not alone to the living brethren, but by cherishing the membry of heir dead as well as looking after the wel fare of the widow and tutherless. It was his spirit of unselfish dovotion that gave the order Its strength In that It was a hrlstlan spirit that actuated it in all its dealings and made It one of the foremost of human organisations', for the practical Issemlnatlon of true bitherly love. In honor of the members of the Modern Woodmen of America who have died during he past year memorial services were held at the Calvary Baptist church Sunday evening. The services were conducted by Rev. E. R. Curry, paster of the church. nd consisted for the most part of tho usu il services, with a special memorial sermon delivered by the pastor. Rev. Curry delivered a most appropriate address for the occasion! and spoke In very commendatory terms of the order and their work In conducting these1 services for their departed members each year. The day set aside for the memorial services each year Is the first Sunday In June. The Royal Neighbors of America, an auxiliary to the Woodirten of America, also participated In the services.

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.

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 Linden.

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 ers of this city have not yet reached an agreement with their employers. A con ference will be held tomorrow and if an agreement Is not reached by noon a strike will be declared. The men want ten hours' 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 ployers. The 1,000 striking hodearriers, who are demanding an increase in wages of 6 cents an hour, tonight say they have won their contention and that they will retufn to work In a day or two. Street Railway Men Quit. SAGINAW, Mich., June 4. In accordance with the strike order Issued late last night by National Organizer Dllworth of the Street Railway Men's union, tho employes of the street railway system of Saginaw and Bay City and the Interurban line be tween those cities, went on strike today. Seven cars were sent out of here today manned by nonunion crews, but after run ning until early afternoon were ordered back Into the barns and tonight tho tie-up Is complete. Strike sympathizers pelted tho cars and nonunion crews with eggs and other missiles, and one car on the Washington avenue line was derailed by a stone placed on the track. No attempt was made to collect fares while tho cars were operated, and most of the passengers were adventurous youngsters. Several of the cars had windows broken by missiles.

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."
