Frank M. Bristol, of the Metropolitan
Methodist Church, who was the Mc
Kinley's pastor, were deenly touched

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. The farmers are
frightened.
NORFOLK, Va.. 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

vannah. They are. in fact, one of the ;
very best recommendations which j
could be secured.
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.

her once or twice with the kn’fe.”

Galvin.

ANOTHER WEEK TO GET
JURY IN HAYWOOD CASE
BOISE. Idaho, 'May 25.—From pres
ent indications it would seem that an-

trial of V/m. D. H:y-vi)l, fi:v. cf the
alleged "Inner C’rclo'' .if ’.he Western

answer to the State's charge of con
spiring to murder former Gove ‘nor

second special venire remain. A thir

He has yet to be examined as to all
his qualifications. In addition to the
vacancy which he may or mav n >t fill.
there remains four peremptory chal
lenges. two with the prosecution and
two with the defense. The apposing
attorneys seem determined to u-e up
every cha! enge the law allows. .This
means that only seven final jurors have
been selected, and the tria' has been
in progress for more than two weeks’
actual time. 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. If this step becomes neces
sary, the task will occupy the greater
part of Tuesday and Wednesday and
on Thursday. Memorial Day, there will
be no session cf c*urt. The jury may
be completed Friday evening or Sat
urday. •
In either event it is probable that
the attorneys for the State will ask
for an adjournment until Monday
morning in order that the opening ad
dress or statement of the prosecution
may immediately be followed and sup-
prrted by evidence.
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. Mrs.
Shever told the coroner that when the
two men engaged the room in her
home they described themselves as
John and Paul Sarkis, each about 35 j
years of age. John was dark and

a name that looked like Giuseppe Sar
kis. On the outside of the chest was
the name "Ermovlan.”
The auotpsy developed that the neck
and an arm had been broken. Coro
ner's Physician Lehano declared, how
ever. that death was due to suffoca
tion. The internal organs were con-
t gested and Dr. Lehane gave it as his
opinion that the man was thrust into
the drunk while alive, and the cover of
tha air tight trunk held down until
death ensued. 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.
A dozen detectives were set at work
upon the case and tonight a score of
persons living in the vicinity of Mrs.
Sherer’s home were examined at po
lice headquarters. Nothing conclusive
had been established at a late hour.
Later Developments.
When removed to the morgue tha
body was identified as that of tha
priest. Father Kasper. 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.
The autopsy showed that the priest
may have been drugged and placed in
the trunk while alive and then suffo
cated. His neck and one arm were
smooth shaven and the woman under- I broken, hut it Is not believed

the Tenderloin. The other resembled . the body go as to fill the trunk to suf-
his brother, but wore a moustache. The
men had been visited, she said, by a
man wearing a clerical garb who look
ed not unlike the murdered man. She
thought that this man called at 8
o’clock last Wednesday morning. No
one In the tenement that day heard any
unusual noises.
Late Wednesday afternoon an ex
press, wagon brought to the house the
trunk which later was found to con
tain the body. One of the iodgars,
with the aid of a young man who drove
the express, carried the trunk with
considerable difficulty to the wvn.
That night Mrs. Sherer asked her
roomers for the rent due. 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. The body
was removed to the morgue and the
police began a minute examination of
its hiding place. It was a cheaply
built affair and showed marks of hard
usuage. Inside the cover was printed
foeation were the priest's clothing.
The Coroner believes the priest bad
been dead six or seven days. Tho
stomach will be analyzed for traces of
poison.
The police have sent out a general
alarm for Sarkis Ermeyian, Sarkis
Barmervion and Paul Sarltan. S. Pas-
hakarian. of 506 Tenth avenue, tonight
identified the trunk as belonging to
Sarkis Ermolyan, an Armenian, who
he said, roomed with him for four
■months, until last Monday.
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. They believe that the priest
was lured to his room, there d-ugged
robbed nnd murdered, and the trunk
later sent to the West 37th street ad-
dresa.
Karanfilinn said Father Kaspar lived
at the home of Bishop Hor ap Surv-
gin. The church trustees paid Father
Kaspar had vl*’te‘* at bis (Karanfil-
ian’s) house on Bunuay two weeks ago
at 4 o’cTock ir the afternoon and he
had not seen The d^ad priest since.
Karanfllian agreed with the pibci
that robbery was the motive for the
crime.

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

to fit up and place at he disposal of
its distinguished guests the ancient i siding officers

the conference, the work of preparing

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 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.
