WORKING ON NEW
CONSTITUTION
l'he Grand Lodge of Elks
Chose Philadelphia as
the Place of Meet-
ing Next Year.
TO MAKE IT SMALLER
Framing aConstitntion to Make
the Grand Lodge Less Un-
wieldy and Work Oth-
er Needed Changes
DON’T WANT SIDE ISSUES
Denver, Colo., July 18.—'Philadel-
phia wa3 chosen by the grand lodge
of Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks today as the convention city
for next year.
An effort was made to have a con-
stitutional convention called for this
fall but this was voted down and the
convention decided to adopt a new
nnstitution at this session.
iBy the time adjournment was taken
for the day twenty provisions were
adopted.
It is sought to build up the order
on the lines of an executive legisla-
tive and judicial body. To decrease
the size of the grand lodge and make
It a representative body the plan is
this:
No one will be legislated out and
nil the grand lodge members remain
unless they drop out of the order.
Failure to attend the meetings ot
Ihe grand lodge for four consecutive
years will cost the member his life
membership. Elected delegates will
serve two years, the even members
election in even years and the odd
members in odd years.
As the older members die or drop
out of the body, it will gradually be-
come representative.
The grand lodge went on record
emphatically against auxiliary bodies
of any kind and against insurance fea-
tures in this connection:
Denver, July 15.—It is estimated at
the local headquarters of the Elks'
reunion that there are 40,000 visitors
in Denver, of whom 20,000 are Elks
and members of their famlles. The
feature of the celebration today was
the massed band parade, in wh!ch*one
thousand musicians participated. Wild
West and Indian shows are a source
of wonder and delight to the visitors
from the east..
The first order of business of the
grand lodge today was the selection
of the next meeting place, officers
having been elected yesterday after-
noon, when Judge Henry A. Melvin,
of Oakland, California, was unanim-
ously chosen grand exalted ruler.
Philadelphia was chosen by the
grand lodge of Elks today as the con-
vention city next year. Philadelphia
received 4!>5 votes; Baltimore, 295;
St,. Joseph withdrew from the contest
JEROME BEFORE THE BAR.
Famous Lawyer Delivers Address to
Georgia Bar Association.
Warm Springs, Ga., July 18.—The
three days 'annual meeting of the
Georgia Bar Association which opens
here today promises to be of unusual
interest, owing to the fact that Wil-
liam Travers Jerome, the famous pros-
ecuting attorney of New York is in
attendance as the special guest of
honor of the bar association. Ho has
consented to deliver an address before
the association and it is believed that
he will discuss the principles of pure
government and of pure politics in
municipal affairs. Judge J. H. Blount,
of Macon, who was for years one of
the judges of the supreme court In
the Philippine Islands, but who has
since returned to Georgia, will deliver
an address on the subject of the law
in the Pnilippines.
The program which has been ar-
ranged for the sessions Is very inter-
esting and includes addresses on the
federal control of life insurance and
another address on certain important
legal problems in the Panama canal
zone.
A JAPANESE ROMANCE.
Young Officer Ruined His Life to
Serve His Country.
London, July 18.—The Tokio cor-
respondent of the Daily Telegram Is
the authority for a remarkable story
which throws an Interesting light on
the intricate methods employed by
the Japanese In their secret service.
For obvious reasons no names are
given in the story. A young and
promising Japanese officer, of blame-
less character, was suddenly cafed
upon by the chief of the staff to take
up a life of dissii>atlon in the interest*
of a state cause, which was not di-
vulged. Obedience to superiors is
the first law of the Japanese officer's
life. Reluctantly the youth did as
he was bid, and in due time, repug-
nant though the whole proceeding
was, he manteged efftVfUi^iy, With ;
sake and geisha, to ruin himself;
He was spurned by iris friends and;
turned out of the service. The chief]
of the staff then dispatched the
broken man on a mission to a neigh ]
boring country where a firs -class i
power was engaged in a conflict with!
native rebels. His military genius]
soon made him the Tight hand man of
the native chief, and a price was1
placed upon his head. The Japanese]
government knew nothing of the af-j
fair, of course, but when the rebel-J
lion was suppressed the young officer
returned to Japan with valuable In-
formation that, alter some difficulty
on his part, no doubt found Us way
to the government pigeon hd>s. Only
the Oriental mind could conceive
such an expedient for the advance-
ment of patriotic interests. The cor-
respondent does lot state whether
the young Japanese officer was rein-
stated, but vouches fop the truthful-
ness of the story.
WORK FOR NAVY YARD.
Ordered to Proceed With Work On
Connecticut and Vestal.
Brooklyn, N. Y„ July 18.—Instruc-
tions have been sent to Naval Con-
structor W. J. Baxter, head of the
department of construction and repair
at the Brooklyn navy yard, to pro-
ceed without further delay with the
work on the battleship Connecticut
and the collier Vestal. It is expected
that the Connecticut will he ready for
service; within three months, after the
delay of about' that time in the com-
pletion of the ship, owing to the ex-
haustion of the funds for the work as
originally allotted by congress. The
collier will be built by yard labor,
the steel material to bfl purchased un-
der contract. Bids for it will be in-
vited before the end of the week by
the bureau of supplies and accounts.
At the same time a contract will he
awarded for the sister collier, the
Prometheus, to be built at the Mare
Island navy yard, where there has
been installed a traveling crane and
other appliances for ship construction.
The machinery for the two colliers is
already under way at the New York
yard. This is about the on-
ly construction work which Is con-
templated at the navy yard at Brook-
lyn, although it may turn out that one
of the two seagoing tugs, authorized
by congress several years ago, which
seems to have been overlooked in the
navy department, may be built here.
The present purpose, however, is to
have both tugs under contract.
SLEEPING MAN MURDERED

of Life of Unconscious Man
Across Line.
Douglass, Arizona, July 18.—An un-
provoked murder of indescribable hor-
ror shocked the small community
south of the Copper Queen smelter
and just over the international line
on the Mexican side, yesterday morn-
ing at daybreak.
Some time between midnight and
dawn Tuesday Francisco Quigada en-
tered the room of his father-in-law.
Marcelina Uribe, and with a razor,
or some terrible knife, he murdered
the aged sleeper, mutilating the body
in tne rnose liendish manner imagina-
ble.
As soon as e had committed the
awful deed Quigada hurriedly left his
home without awakening his wife and
he has not since been seen. Lieutenant
Wheeler, Sergeant Hopkins and all
of the county and city officers here
spent all of yesterday assisting the
Mexican officers from Agua Prleta in
scouring Douglas and vicinity for some
trace of the assassin.
Not. until after daylight was the
tragedy discovered. Qulgada’s wife dis-
covered the ghastly horror and fell in
a swoon over the cold and disfigured
body of her father. Uribe’s throat had
been cut from ear to ear and he was
positively disemboweled.
Quigada has been employed at the
Copper Queen smelter for three years
as an unloader of cars. He is a hard
drinker and has been known to he
drunk for a week at a time. What
grievance or imagined wrong lead him
to so horrible an act is not known to
any of those acquainted with the prin-
cipals to the tragedy.

LAWYERS MAD
IN HART,IE CASE
Pittsburg’s Scandalous Di-
vorce Trial Developing
New Sensations as
It Progresses.
ACCUSED OF STEALING
Hartje's Lawyers Acknowl-
edged They Found Papers
Outside the Other Law-
yer's Offices.
EXCITEMENT IN THE COURT
Pittsburg, Pa., duly 18.—With each
succeeding day of the Hartjo divorce
trial new sensations are developing
and today was no exception to the
course of events in the famous legal
battle.
Misses Ida and Helen Scott were
star witnesses today for their sister,
Mrs. Mary Scotl Hartjc. Helen’s direct
examination closed when court ad-
journed tills afternoon, after counsel
for the libellant had introduced a num-
ber of letters said to have been writ-
ten by her, and which prove, according
to the counsel for Mr. Hartje, that
Helen Scott had knowledge of the al-
leged relations between Mrs. Hartje
and “Tom" Maditie. Helen denied the
authorship bf all these new letters, ex-
cepting two.
Attorney John Freeman, for Mrs.
Mary Scott. Hartje, the respondent,
openly charged the other side with
stealing a certain paper from his of-
fice. Counsel for Augustus Hartje the
millionaire libellant in the case, de-
clared this charge false and Attorney
.1. Scott Ferguison said that he could
prove that the papers were not taken
front Watson and Freeman's office, but
were picked up outside that place,
where they had been carelessly laid.
Attorneys Freeman and Ferguson be-
came almost beside themselves when
the charges of theft were made. A
scene of so great excitement has
rarely, if ever, been witnessed in a
local court room.
The result of the trouble was appar-
ently a victory for Mrs. Hartje, as
Attorney W. B, Rogers, for the libell-
ant, was compelled to return to Mr.
Freeman, by order of the court, a pa-
per prepared in Mr. Freeman's office,
as wall as other letters of Freeman's
which he said had been surreptitiously
taken from his office.
The "other Mary," a servant girl,
who knows Tom Madine, the co-re-
spondent, made her first appearance
on the stand today. She testified that
it was she who telephoned to Madine
while he wa® working at a livery sta-
ble and who wrote to him sometimes
as often as twice a week.
The letter alleged to have been
stolen from Mr. Freeman’s office,
along with other papers, is said to
have begun with “My Dearest Edith,"
and Judge Frazer’s announcement that
any stolen papers' would have little in-
fluence on the court broke a tension
of curiosity in the court room that had
been whetted to a fine edge.
Just what Is in the "Edith" letter
and what Ida Scott had to do with It
may remain a mystery.
Toward the close of the examination
of Mis® Helen Scott Attorney Rogers
sprung a surprise upon the attorneys
for the defense by producing a num-
ber' of stained and mutilated letters,
the parls of which had been pasted to-
gether. The letters were written upon
the stationery of the hotel Windsor
and the Florence Villa and were ad-
dressed to "Dearest Mary.” Witnesses
admitted that several of the new ex-
hibits had been written by herself, but
denied the authorship of the others
although she said the handwriting did
look like hers.
Mr. Freeman started to his feet and
objected to their being Introduced up-
on re-direct exxamination. Mr. Rogers
then stated that his object, in produc-
ing them w.i'n to show that despite
her previous denials on the stand, wit-
ness had’shown that. Mrs. Hartje and
Tom Madine had been in correspond-
ence with each other and that the let-
ters would show- the t ruth of his state-
ment. Court, was then adjourned in
order that counsel for the defense
might have an opportunity of examin-
ing the new exhibits. ,
This was said to ire the sensation
which counsel for the prosecution
have all along promised.
During the course of her examina-
tion, Helen Scott was asked by Mr.
Freeman whether or not she had writ-
ten in one of her alleged letters to Mrs.
Hartje, a statement that' she tMrs.
Martje) and Tom Madine would one
day be man and wife, but they would
have to wait some time, Helen strenu-
ously denied this statement.
NEW CATTLE CARRYING LAW.
Provisions Are Simple and Are Un-
derstood in the South and West.
Washington. July 16.—Judge Sam
H. Cowan of Fort Worth, who Is in
Washington on business with the In-
terstate Commerce Commission, said
today of the blanket permit to carry
cattle un ier the new law submitted
by a Baltimore and Ohio official which
was turned down: "The whole thing
Is so simple that it Is not necessary
to have a blanket form printed. The
law was intended to cover exceptional
cases, where a run of cattle would be
on the* road over twenty-eight and
under thlrty-siv hours before reaching
market, and all that the shipper or
the man In charge of the stock was to
do when be faces such a contingency
is to make a written request to the
railroad company to carry his stock
thirty or thirty-six hours, as the case
may be, without feeding, and hand It
to any agent of the railroad company
anywhere. The law simply provided
that each case requires an application,
and each application mtist be writ-
ten. The cattlemen in the west and
south understand the matter fully and
no trouble is anticipated."
RUMORED ALLIANCE.
Germany and Austria Said to Have
Formed an Alliance With Rusaiia.
Paris, July, 18.—The Journal today
says it is in a position to affirm that
in the recent interview at tSchoen-
brunn pnlaco, near Vienna, between
the emperors of Germany and Aus-
tria Hungary, they deliberated on the
means to adopt in case of the out-
break of a revolution in Russia, Em-
peror Nicholas being advised of the
general nature of the deliberations.
It was decided in principle, the
paper says, thjat. Germany and Aus-
tria will intervene in case the Rus-
sian emperor find's it impossible to
maintain control, the three emperors
thereafter acting in concert for the
maintenance of a status quo of their
respective Polish possession. The
Journal further asserts that tilts un-
derstanding amounts to a regular
"Holy AlUnnecC ltetwecn the three
emperors.

holders in the various insurance com-
panies have been filed . He sayta
that, the companies have failed to
give the proper addresses In many
instances and have been guilty of wil-
ful evasion.

o'clock and with much patience and
even fortitude, they remained until
after 5 o’clock to give a hearing to
all who had sought to say why ho
rather than the other man should have
the coveted office.
It was the biggest crowd Marlin has
ever had for an occasion of this kind,
so it was said by men who had been
here a long time, and when It was all
over the men of Marlin who had
brought it about said they were satls-
i.ed and even content. They were not
all Falls county people. Every adjoin-
ing county was represented. But while
it was a big crowd It manifested little
enthusiasm. It showed more Interest
In the harltectied meat than It did In
the political speeches. Not that it did
not applaud, for now and then it be-
came boisterous. Bui these demonstra-
tions were not frequent nor did they
seem spontaneous.
The orators were Senator Bailey,
Mr. Colquitt, Judge Brooks and Judge
Beil. Aside from the candidates foi
governor ami Senator Bailey, Judge
Storey, who Is a candidate to succeed
himself as a member of the railroad
commission, was the only other as-

ter of the defense, la wider than
ever today.

twice during tiie day endeavored to
gain the hoy's consent to the re-em-
ployment of the law firm of Black,
Olcott, Gruber and Bonynge, and to
consent to a plea of Insanity.
Clifford J. Hurl ridge, Thawte per-
sonal counsel, obtained from Justice
Blanchard in the special term of the
supreme court late today, an order
directing Judge Olcott's firm to show
catiBo next Friday why they should
not turn over to Halt ridge ail the
papers In Thaw's case, Mr. Hartrldgo
based Ids motion on a petition sign-
ed by Thaw, which was placed on re-
cord in connection with the proceed-
ings.
Tills move was a distinct surprise,
being a contradiction of rcpoits which
had gained wide circulation earlier in
the day In the effect taut Thaw had
eonsenlul to Ills mother's plans of
action The rumor that, the young
man hail at last bowed to ills mother's
will, undoubtedly had its origin in
the fact that Mlrs. Win, Thaw and
-Mrs. Harry Thaw, who were in con-
ference with Thaw at the same time
today, emerged from the prison arm
in arm. II was the first time that
they had been seen together.
