KILLED MOTHER AND SELF
BECAUSE HIS SISTER DIED
NEW YORK. —Edward Soden, a
well known cartoonist and illustra
tor, broken hearted at the death of his
sister, killed his mother and himself
with chloroform. The bodies of the
mother, Mary E. Soden, the daughter,
Nila, and the son were found Satur
day in their home, 258 Greene ave
nue, Brooklyn, by the police of the
Classon avenue police station.
EHjl Soden, who was thirty-two
yeary-ndd, died of hemorrhages Mrs.
Soden was practically an invalid. The
illness of the sister prevented her
from working and Soden himself did
not have regular employment. Their
home was a poorly furnished four
room apartment.
The police broke into the place. The
body of Ella lay on a couch in the
front room. In the bedroom they
found the body of Mrs. Soden and
the body of the son was stretched on

Yn Shimei Went to Europe
to Study the Different

BERLIN.—An interesting Chinese
view ol the kajser has been published
In the Pekin Gazette from the pen
of Yu Shihmei, the Chinese states
man who was sent to Europe on a
sttecial mission to report on the dif
ferent forms or constitutional govern
ment.
Yu Shihmei was received by the
kaiser, and in describing the audi
ence and the impressions the great
German war lord made upon him he
says:
“The German emperor entered by
the tipper left-hand door, and faced
northeast, standing sideways.
“We ail faced south, each standing
in a row according to rank, and
saluting in accordance with prece
dent. The German emperor wore mil
itary dress and his sword, took off
his hat and bowed low.
“I reverently handed in my creden
tials, which the German emperor,
raising his hand, took over in ]>er-!
son, respectfully inquiring after the
of the empress dowager and
the emperor. I deferentially reas
sured him as to their welfare, and
then In accordancq with practice pro
ceeded to read my formal address,
w hich the interpreters at once render- j
ed into German. The German em-,
peror, in his reply, said (in general
terms) that he would be very pleas- 1
cd to aid where he could in the oh- [
ject of ray -inquiries, but that con- j
stitutional questions were always of ‘
a very complex nature.
“The emperor is some fifty years ]
of age and of middle height. He has
a yellowish-red tinge, Rnd the ends
of his moustache turn upwards. The
expression of his face is remarknbly
alert, and his gait is very active, j
He can undergo a great deal of hard :
work.
“The whole dominion of Germany is 1
about the size of one large Chinese
province—say, two small ones, some
where about the extent of one of
our viceroy's jurisdiction; yet it
stands forth prominently as one of
the great powers of the five conti
nents, while the German emperor him |
self is especially noted in western
Europe for his masculine abilities
and great politiqal capacity.
"In his capacity for undergoing
■>oll he Is like a soldier, while In his’
demeanor to visitors he may be com
pared to an ordinary gentleman; he
hardly puts on as much pomp and
ceremony as does one of our viceroys
when moving about within his own
Jurisdiction; but, on the other hand,
It U impossible quite' to force com
parisons in the case of customs so
different as those of China and Eu
rope"
The “facing northeast” described
at the reception, adds the translator,
seems to be a delicate but furtive
hint that (like all vassals) the Ger
man emperor did distant homage to
the emperor or China.

OFFICER MURDERED
01HIS MISTRESS
FOUND DEAD UNDER THE
BODY OF THE WOMAN WHO
HE HAD BEEN INTIMATE
WITH
WAS JEALOUS
The Lieutenant Was in
Love With a Girl of His
Own Class and Was Tired
of His Mistress*
BERLIN—A couple of days ago Lieu
tenant. Kurt Kaensch of the Fourteenth
Infantry was found lying dead in his
bedroom at .oomberg, in Eastern Prus
sia, beneath the body of a girl with
whom he was known to have been on
intimate terms.
It was at first supposed to be. a case
of double suicide, but subsequent infor
mation shows that the affair was of a
more remarkable nature.
The girl, Martha Eichgrun, who was
twenty-six years of age and the daughter
of a gendarme, ha*., been the mistress ot
the young officer for five years and was
attached to him by a passion of the most
ardent and jealous nature. Her parents
after in vain having tried to make her
give up the liaison had cast her off.
A few months ago the lieutenant made
the acquaintance of a girl of his own
class who, he thought, would be a more
suitable partner for life, and with the
object of carrying out tills idea he pro
i pared to cut himself adrift from Frau
lein Eichgrun. Anxious both to spare
the girl’s feelings and to provide for her
future, he tried, under various pretexts,
to induce her to take up some form of
work, but she saw through his manoeu
vers and openly declared that she would
kill him ratner than he should belong
1 to another.
j At last it was impossiole to conceal
| the truth from her any longer, and as
j soon as she learned it she proceeded in
the most deliberate manner to put into
execution those threats which her fickle
lover ban never taken seriously.
! She sold all she had, and having
j bought a revolver and wedding ring with
! the proceeds she set aside what remain
|ed to cover her funeral expense's. She
{ then put on h« r best clothes and waited
j outside the officers’ casino till Lleuten
■ ant Haensch should return to his
quarters.
It was already morning before be ap
i peared. She followed him home at a
! safe distance and waited till she thought
! he would be asleep.
j Then she entered the house with a
duplicate latch key he had given her.
| As she had expected, he was sleeping,
j Stealing up to the bedside, she fired a
bullet into his head, killing him in-
I stuntly.
I Not satisfied that she had achieved the
i first part of her purpose, she discharg-
I ed two more shots into his heart.
Mlie next hunted up the love letters
‘she had written him and arranged them
in order, after wldch she wrote letter*}
explaining the grounds of her action and
asking that she might be buried in the
domes she was wearing. She then slip-
