READY TO ORGANIZE EXERCISES WILL TAKE PLACE IN CONVENTION HALL ON EX POSITION GROUNDS BOLL WEEVIL FOUND NEAR HAZLEHURST HAZLEHURST, Ga„ May 26.—The genuine boll weevil has been found near here and a box full was mailed to Atlanta today.

May 26.—The lineal descendants of the. signers of the De claration of Independence are prepar ing to effect a permanent organization July 4 next, at the Jamestown Exposi tion. The initiation of the new order is to be under the joint auspices of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Associa tion and the exposition managers, and an elaborate program of patriotic ad dresses and songs has been arranged. The Thomas Jefferson Memorial As sociation of the United States Is art in corporated organization having for its purpose the erection at the national capital of an appropriate memorial to the author and signers of the Declar ation of Independence. At its last meeting In March resolutions were agreed to for the holding of an appro priate celebration of the 13Jst anniver sary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence at ' tho Jamestown Exposition. The exercises aro to take place }n convention hall, on the expo sition grounds, beginning at noon. Lieut-Gnv.

The ce' tlflcates are about the size i of those issued in the public schools, j They are of fine paper: are beauti- j fully embossed; are mounted with a { gold seal, and are signed by Presi- , dent Wm. B. Stillwell, of the Board of Trade and by Harvey Granger, chairman of the lumber committee. The inspectors, when the “scheme” was first announced, were ve- y much opposed to the plan. They took the stand that it would be rather useless to stand an examination after long and successful services as inspectors at the port, but after tho matter was thoroughly explained and the benefits which would be derived were pointed out, the spirit of opposition was speed ily eliminated, and the men were real ly eage- to be examined in order to secure their certificates That the port will be benefitted through the issuing of the certificates to the inspectors, is the firm belief of the leading lumbermen It Is hoped to have ail Inspections of lumber here regarded as final when the work is done by one of those possessing a ea-- tificate and when the local inspections are accepted as final by the buyers of the North and East, much money will be saved which would be other wise expended through additional in spections Taken all in all it appears that the move is a wise one. Both employe and employer are satisfied, and already one firm has made official announcement that the Savannah inspections will be final when made by a certified man NEW TORK, May 26.—Rev. Father Kaspar, of the Armenian Apostolic Church, of Hoboken, N. J., was murdered in this city some time last week.

It is predicted lhat the remaining members of the venire now in attendance w'll be exhausted by to morrow evening and a third venire will then have to be summoned by the sheriff.

NEW YORK. May 26.—Three weeks ago Mrs. Annie Sherer rented one of her six rooms In a tenement at 33S West 37th street to two unknown men. When last Wednesday the rent was not forthcoming her lodgers, two Greek?, bold her that she was amply secured by their well-filled trunk. The following morning the men disappear ed and today the trunk was broken open. To the horror of Mrs. Sherer it was found to contain the badly de composed body of a man believed to havo been a priest of the Greek church. The body was in a kneeling posture, with the head bound against tho knees by a heavy strap that passed over the back of the neck and was buckled under the chin. The murdered man must have been about 60 years of ago. Ho weighed probably 160 pound, and about five feet four inches in height. A flowing beard 12 inches long was streaked with gray, but the long and husky hair was black. An undershirt of balbriggan and a cuff on the right wrist were all the clothes the body wore, but on top of it had been thrown three coats of clerical cut. a white laundried shirt, two pairs of black lace shoes, a soft felt hat. two Roman col lars and a detached cuff. The police think it possible that the body was shipped here by express from Chicago and the authorities of that city have been asked to follow one clew, based on a meal ticket also found in the trunk. This ticket was issued by a restaurant at 1222 Halstead street. West Pullman. Chicago, and written In ink across it was the firm name ”S. Ermoylan Brothers.” Throusrh the word '‘Brothers” several red ink lines had been drawn. Because of the con dition of the body, the manner of death was not immediately apparent. Fol lowing an autopsy at the morgue two men were arrested on suspeion.

Tho condition of tho organs were found to be similar to those in cases of asphyxiation. On the loft wrist, the data 1S94 was tattooed with little stars, and on the right wrist was a wreath with a cross. There were two little tattoo circles on the back of the right hand, each about ■ the size of a dime.

He had lived at 60S Monastery street. West Hobo ken, and frequently made trips to thi* city soliciting funds for his church. Father Kasper, carrying a small bag In which his collections were placed, came to be a familiar sight in Greek and Armenian circles here and it is believed that he was murdered for the money he carried.

They pointed to the trunk and said it would lift found to contain ample security for -.'.bat they owed. Later the men said that the trunk delivered to them was not theirs and that ?. mistake had been made. The next morning the roomers left before Mrs. Sherer was up. The next day unpleasant odors were detected coining from the room and today Mrs. Sherere appealed to the police and the trunk was forced open.

Pashakarlan told the police that Ermeyian, previous to his coming to this city, had worked In a restaurant in West Pullman, Chicago. The police theory is that the priest was murdered in the Tenth avenue house.

THE HAGUE, May 26.—The sit tings of the second peace conference will be held in a thi'teenth century castle built for the counts, of Holland in the old days when they, together with the bishops of Utrecht, and the dukes of Guelders, ruled the low coun try. The Dutch Government decided to fit up and place at he disposal of its distinguished guests the ancient i siding officers castle, latte ly known as the "Hall of | secretaries ar: Kr.ights.” Now on the very eve of the conference, the work of preparing the interior is only being completed. The Kali of Knights is a large, gloomy structure of atone and brick, situated in the heart of an interesting irregular pile of old but mo-e modern buildings, which, -taken togther form the Binnen-Hofthe fortress of the city. The Hall of Knights stands in the center of a paved cour.t formed by the surrounding buildings, and is reached through half n dozen picturesque portals, over which are chiseled the arms of the counts of Holland. Begun about 1240 by Count William II. afterwards elected emperor of Ger- t re feet, very lofty, but the huge and rafters of the vaulted roc after the Dutch fashion, give cavernous appearance. Below walls are hung with rich native car pets. and tapestry. The scats for the delegates, arranged like paws in a church, are covered with green 'mia. In front is a low rostrum for the pro- with the desks of tha nged behind in the form of a semi-circle. The whole ob ject apparently is to bring the dele gates as close together as possible and permit of an easy exchange of ideas without oratorical effort.
