PREACHER—CURIOUS CROWD IS
HEDR BACK BY POLICE.
■ i
POUT HURON, Mich., Jan. 14.
Min, women and children surged abou;
the train which bore the body of Rev.
J. H. Carmichael, who killed Gideon
Browning in the little Adair church,
when the train arrived at the Grand
Trunk tunnel station from Chicago last
night, it was necessary for the police
to clear the way from the baggage car
to the baggage office. No person was
allowed In*-'the room into which the
body was taken except the authorities,
those who had been supened to view
the remains and Identify them, and
newspaper men.
The casket was taken out of the
rough box In which it had been ship
ped nnd was taken into the baggage
room. Coroner Falk opened the cas
ket. The personal eeffets of the sui
cide were taken out. The bloody
trousers of "Old" Browning, which the
preacher had taken from the body of
his vi< tim, were first taken out. The
Huit case which the pastor took with
him was next to be removed.
“Look well at this body ami say
whether it is your brother,” said Coro
ner Falk to Moses Carmichael, of
Wellahurg. W. Vu. Moses Carmichael
gazed at the form. His eyes wore
dimmed by tears, and with trembling
voice he suid, "That is my brother.”
The brother is gray-haired and many
veers older than his brother. “God,
how he lias changed, poor boy.” the
brother added, as lie noticed the long
red line which extended from ear to
tar, showing how the preacher ha 1
t-ltiod himself with “Gid" Brownings
knife.

PRESIDENTRIDES9O
AAILES INI/HOURS
ON HORSEBACK
DEMONSTRATES THAT ORDER
REQUIRING ALL ARMY AND
NAVY OFFICERS TO TAKE TEBT
IS NOT TOO SEVERE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—President
Roosevelt does not show any marked
signs of weariness today as the result
ot bis ride of 98 miles on horseback
yesterday. He dismounted st the
White House last night more than 17
hours after having departed there
from.
The president made the long Jour
ney to “prove to bis critics who have
found fault with the recent ordtr re
quiring all army and navy officers to
take a physical test, that If a presi
dent, who is uot In training, can ride
90 miles plus lu one day without be
ing laid up In bed thereby, it should
; uot be too much to ask the men who
are supposed to be in the best of phy
sleial training all the time to ride 90
miles in three days.”
Mounting his faithful rider and
jumper "Roswell” In front of the
White House door at 3:30 yesterday
; morning he dismounted at the same
place at 8:40 last night. The ride was
'to Warrcnton and back and Virgtnla
i mads in the winter time are not usual
ly In the best of condition. Dr. Rlxey,
Dr. Cary Gravson and Capt. Archbald
I Butt, one of the president s aides, ac
companied him.
i On the return trip the last 30 miles
of the Journey were made in sleet and
rain, while the last 15 miles were in
almost pitch darkness, Arriving at
ilhc Aqueduct bridge across the Po-
lomac, the preßident refused to take
the carriage which wag waiting there
for him. When he dismounted his
coat and hat were frozen stiff with
sleet and Ice.
There were four relays of horses,
the first stage of the Journey out anti
the last in being made by the presi
dent ou “Roswell,” the second out
and the third in on "Georgia." while
Jthe other two were on army horses
which the president had never before
! mounted.
Ase the four horseback riders, fol
lowed by two policemen on wheels and
;the empty carriage, drove Into the
grounds surrounding the executive
mansion, the president, in front, with
his broad-brimmed black slouch hat
drawn down over his face, presented a
striking picture.
Both the outward and the return
trips lay through Fairfax Courthouse
to Warrentem. Arriving at the latter
place about 11 o’clock, when the pres
ident's coming had been heralded an
hour or so before his arrival, he waa
greeted by a gathering of citizens and
school children, to whom he spoke a
tew words of greeting. They took
luncheon at the Warren Green hotel.
When they started to return, after a
short rest, the master of the hunt of
the Warrenton Hunt club accompanied
them for a few miles.
in less than an hour after returning
io the White House the president had
changed his ice-coated clothing for
evening dress and appeared in the din
ing room, ready for as hearty a meal
us he had eaten for n long time.
If any of the critics of his "army
riding order” had dropped in about
riding order” had dropped In about
that time they would have been sadly
disappointed; for the president did
not show’ in the least hy his walk that
he had been sitting for nearly |7
hours in a hard saddle.

Each Twelve Months
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 14.—Dr.
C. C. Vaughan, in giving the closing
address at the Northern State Medical
convention here, said statistics show
that the lake region is less affected by
tuberculosis and consequently this sec
tion should be the first to be free from
the disease. I)r. Vaughan declared
that one business place in Ann Arbor
had furnished him with six teubercul
osis patients and that one house in the
city iiud infected 14 people where there
was no history of the disease being
prevalent, illustrating the need for
isolation of those afflicted with con
sumption.
Dr. Glover, expert accountant of thk;
university, compiled figures which
show that tuberculosis costs the Unit
ed Stateds3t>,ooo,Uoo each year; the
people of Michigan $1,000,000 aud the
people of Detroit $250,000.
The following officers were elected:
President, Dr. W. A. Dickey, Toledo,
O.; vice president, C. B. Nancrede,
Ann Arbor; secretary, Dr. George
Spohn, Klkharl, Ind.; treasurer, Dr. J.
A. Weity, Montpelier, O.
The next meeting will be held in

SHOOTS WOMAN AND

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—Mr*. Ll*,

children, was shot and killed at her
home in this city late yesterday by
Frederick Kraemer, a painter. 22 year*
old, employed in the navy yard. He
then shot and fatally wounded himself.
The police believe there was probably
in agfireement between teh man and
the woman to die together. Mrs. Har

band recently because of Kramer's at

ENGLISH PEERS ARE
DENOUNCED BY
BIRRELL
REABONB FOR THE CREATION OF
MOST OF THEM DECLAREO TO
BE UNWORTHY—LORDS’ PRES
TIQE GONE.
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.
LONDON, Jail. 14. —There Is no ques
tion that we live In days when greut
changes are Imminent. Lord Rose
berry’s committee of peers has Issued
Its report on the reform of the house
of lords, and while to many the re
forms are not drastic enough, when
once a blow has been dealt at the
Idea of a hereditary legislature, the
whole principle upon which the house
of lords is now built must necessarily
be shattered.
That the peers should be elective,
that they should be called ‘‘lords of
parliament,” 200 only of the heredl
tary peers to be elected by the f>o2
peers existing In the kingdom—all
these and many other changes are pro
posed, which must have beneficial re
sults toward the reform of a chamber
which Is undoubtedly out of harmony
with the spirit of the day.
Mr. Blrrell, In speaking of the house
of lords let fall one significant sen
tence which explains much of the atti
tude of the present house of peers.
"1 find,” he said, "that half the peer
age were made In my life time, and
for the most part for reasons which
will not bear examination. Such a
manufactured association,” he added,
"demands criticism.'’
One of the most delightful lectures
to which it has ever been my privi
lege to listen, w r as given by M. Rene
Bazin, the great French .novelist, last
week In London.
M. Bazin took for his subject the
French peasantry.
He deplored the absence of the edu
cated classes from the country.
He said that a visit of n few months
was worth absolutely nothing, but that
the man who lived on his estate In tho
country, who was the friend and ad
viser of his neighbors, was a force to
be reckoned with, and that if he were
a sound man he was a real influence
for g«K>d.
He said that it was impossible to
understand the French peasant or any
other peasant by running down to the
countryside for a few weeks, to col
lect facts for literary purposes—that
one had to live the peaceful, monot
onous, restricted existence In order to
make friends, and that to get at the
heart of the peasant v#u required
something more than curiosity—you
must love him if you would under
stand him.
He emphasized the fact that a w'om
an In France was undoubtedly mis
tress of the house, and commanded
great respect, that she shared the
knowledge and the Interests of her
husband, and was in this respect a
real partner.
"You might be mistaken as to this,"
he said, "if you saw the meals of a
great French farmhouse, where you
would observe a row of men -sitting
at table, waited on by women; but
muke no mistake about it, the woman
has always the upper hand, and It Is
she who elects thus to give the meals
to the men, not the men who com
mand her services.”
Speaking to an Interviewer of Zola,
he said. “Zola was a great man, but
he was the very last man in the world
to understand the genuine French
peasant.
"Some of their brutality and vice he
noted accurately enough, but he was
quite incapable of drawing forth the
Jealousy guarded secrets of their
hearts.”

| ENGLISHMAN TAKEN
HAD AMERICAN SECRETS
NEW YORK. Jan. 14.—Robert H.
an Englishman, formerly a
daughtHman in the employ of the E.
W. Bliss & Cos., was arrested yester
day in Long Island City as he was
about to sail for Europe with the full
plans of the newest and not yet man
ufactured form of the Bliss-Leavitt tor
pedo. one of the chief weapons on
which the United States would depend
in a naval war.
In addition, he had the plans of sev
eral other important mechanical inven
tions owned exclusively by big Ameri
can manufacturers.
Lobbett’s room was brokeu into and
the plans were found in his grip suck.
He admitted before Magistrate Smith
that he had the plans.
“But I took them only as specimens
of my work to show to others when 1
might ask for employment,” he said.
He made no defense against the
statement thut these plans were sup
posed to be kept secret and that they
should never be taken from the sac .
tory.
Lobbett was first arraigned on the
charge of being a suspicious charac
ter. and as there was nothing to prove
lit, the magistrate let him go. He was
j immediately rearrested on a charge of
j larceny.

' Grove L. Johnson, of Sacramento, has
Introduced three antl-Japanese bills in

try, where Carmichael was once an
houored pastor, to take part in the
lust sad services.
The body arrived in Detroit at 6:46
Thursday morning and were taken at
once to the undering rooms of C. K.
Bird & Cos., Grand River and Bagley
aves., where Carmichael's son. Porter
Carmichael, has been employed. In
udditlou to u bother, M. *H. Car
mhjcei, has been employed. In ad
dition to a brother, M. H. Carmichael
of Wellsburg, VV. Va., and the Rev.
C. W. Baldwin, who was formerly
Carmichael’s presiding elder, there
was only one acuaintance of the dead
man at the railway station when the
body arrived. This was a Mrs. Crory,
of Übly, a former parishioner.
There was no curious crowd at the
undertaking rooms, three or four men
standing idly at the corner being the
ouly ones to witness the bringing in
of the cusket.
When the cover was removed from
the chffln, a great change was notice
able from the appeartance of the min
ister as it had been up to ten days
ago. The marks of mental torture —
perhaps of insunlty, perhaps of re
morse—were visible lu every linea
ment of the dead face. It is as If pain
had remodeled the face. Despite
rest and pallor of death, there is a
shadow of agony In the drawn cheeks
and brows and in the lines about the
nose and mouth.
The face is smoothly shaven now
and a merciful cloth hides the neck
where the tormented fugitive thrust
Gideon Brownings knife to let out
his life-blood.
The brother, W. M. Carmichael, Is
much like the miulster in height and
build, but his face is different In
shape and expression. He Is nearly
7$ years old and was greatly shaken
by the tragedy. Seeing his brother
brought back to his mind an incident
of their boyhood days which he thinks
may have had a bearing upon the min
ister’s insanity and crime.
► John H. Carmichael and Morris, a
brother, InßlHted oil sliding down a
very steep hill near Wellsburg and
their sled collided with a post at the
bottom, injuring them both badly. As
a result, John Carmichael's Jaw was
Injured and he suffered great pain In
after life as a result of this accident.
It may have had a bearing on the
abscesses which In his last years gave
him such Intense agony and are re
garded by the family as having driven
him Insane.
Since the murder and suicide, the
elder brother has reproached himself
that he did not prevent his younger
brother from attempting this slide.
A parcel which was sent to W. M.
Carmichael by his brother was opened
by the former In Wellsburg and found
to contain only family heirlooms and
personal effects.
The members of the family of the
minister are stopping while in Detroit
with Mr. Bird at No. 25 Edmund-pl.
Miss Col la Carmichael has been here
a day or so but the widow and the
other children. Porter and Kirtha, ar
rive in Detroit late In the day Thurs
day.
The family will remove to Wyan
dotte soon. No decision has been
reached us yet regarding the publica
tion of the Rev. Mr. Carmichael's two
stories.
