Los Angeles is sheltering two St.
Louisans who In the past few days have
Bet all society bUßßing there by alleged
breach of the preprletles.
Herman C. Luyties, the millionaire
drug manufacturer, is registered here
at an obscure hotel, and "Mrs. J. F,
Miller" is not far away.
The latter signature is of peculiar in
terest because a few days ago Joseph F.
Traunmlller, a wealthy brewer of *st.
Louis, "as confined to St. Vincent's In
sane asylum there, following the al
lr>ged exposure <>f Luyties' friendship
for his wife. "J. F. Miller" is looked
upon by many as an abbreviation of "J.
F. Traunmlller."
< 11 1 > 1 v a few weeks ago the signatures
Of Luyties and "Mrs. Miller" were regis
tered at a I. as Vegas hotel, though
when Luyties left St. Louis ten days
ago It was ostensibly to go to New
York.
Luyties was assaulted early in Janu
ary by .John 11. Murphy, B broker, who
paid he found his wife in l.uyties' com
pany. This sensational attack was fol
lowed by the subsequent exposure re
sulting in the breakdown of Traunmll
ler, whose reason was shattered by his
domestic troubles, so his friends asscri.
Tho circumstances of the latest chap
£Sf as telegraphed The Herald last
night from St. Louis, are an follows:
Husband Is Crazed
"The Star -Chronicle says today:
"Coincident with the announcement
that Mrs. Joseph F. Traunmlller, wife
of the wealthy brewer, now- at St. Vin
cent's insane asylum, was traveling
w iih Herman C. Luyties, the millionaire
drug manufacturer, In Mexico and Cali
fornia comes the real story of why the
brewer lost his reason.
"It is asserted that Traunmiller was
tniil of Luyties' attentions to his wife,
but could not detect them together.
Then came the assault upon Luyties by
John 11. Murphy, a broker, who found
his wife In Luytleß' company.
"Traunmlller set a trap. He read th 3
story of the assault as printed to his
wife, but he told her that Luyties had
been killed. Thereupon it is said Mrs.
Traunmlller went into hysterics. The
trap had lie, n effective.
"Trail nmillor, it is asserted, walked
t!ie Boor all night and in the morning
was insane. He in said to be recovering
nt St. Vincent's asylum.
"Luyties left here ten days ago osten
sibly for New York, but he wa,s seen at
I^ns Vegas last week, registering at the
leading hotel as 'Herman c. O. Luytlen,'
and underneath appeared the nnm»
•Mrs. .1. F. Miller.' both of St. Louts.
They secured adjoining rooms.
"Luyties and the woman, a tall,
Stalely brunette, later left for Albu
querque.
"Mrs. Luyties is a decided blonde and
very beautiful. She has gone to New
York."
St. Louisans now in Los Angeles re
member the two principal figures in
this story of shattered homes well.
Luyties some ye.ns ago organised a
merger of makers of homeopathic
drills, which brought him a large In
come. He was a great patron of sports

Partisans of Rebel
Leader
By Associated Press.
CARACAS, Fob. I.— General Luis
Mata y lias, the governor of Caracas,
was assassinated last night by a crowd
of intoxicated partisans of Vicente
Gomez, the first vice president of the
republic.
Among the assassins was Eushio
Gomez, a. companion of tho vice presi
dent. They spent the evening riotous
ly, shooting pistols, drinking and cry-
Ing, "Long live Gomez."
General Mata y Has drove to the
cafe where the men were for the pur
pose of remonstrating with them. They
invited the governor into tho cafe to
drink with them.
He continued his remonstrances,
when tho crowd suddenly opened fire
on him. The assassins wero arrested.
A dispatch received from Willemstad,
Curacao, January 29, declared that
according to advices received there
from Caracas, Governor Mata y Has,
at the head of a body of armed troops,
surprised a secret meeting in tho court
yard of the house of President Gomez
at Caracas on the night of January
27, and in the fighting that followed
thi> governor and several other men
were killed.
This is the way the story reached
Curacao, which lies about 100 miles
from the Venezuelan coast. The dis
patch of tonight comes direct from
Caracas, and while it has been delayed
In transmission because of Improper
cable communication With Caracas, it
doubtless gives the correct story.
General Luis Mata y Has v/as minister

appointed governor of the district of

13y ABBOOiated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. I.— The Thaw jury
1b at last complete and the actual In
troduction of evidence is scheduled to
commence Monday morning. Further
weeding out of the panel Is not Impos
sible, however, as District Attorney Je
rome, who has been contending since
yeserdny afternoon for the removal of
one of the men now In the Jury box,
but who has failed to gain the consent
of the defendant's counsel to a change,
was still reluctant as court adjourned
today to begin '-he actual proceedings
without a further opportunity to plead
with 'Fhaw's advisers.
At his request therefore Justice Fitz
gerald ordered all talesmen who have
not yet been examined to be in court
Monday morning ready for Jury service
in case any are needed. Mr. Jerome
then unnounced that if there should be
no change in the situation in the mean
time that the Btate would proceed to
place all its uirect testimony before the
Jury at the Monday morning session.
The defense was notified to De in readi
ness to proceed by Monday afternoon.
"We are entirely satisfied with the
jury," said Clifford W. Hartrldge,
Thaw's leading counsel, tonight, and ho
added the intimation that he would
not consent to any further alterations
of the personnel.
"The defense vill be ready to proceed
the mlnue the prosecution has finished
its case," declared John li. Gleason,
another of Thaw's attorneys.
Comes as a Surprise
The selection of the twelfth juror
came as a complete surprise at the end
of a long and tedious day — the eighth
of the trial — and Immediately after this
last member of the trial panel had been
sworn in Justice Fitzgerald adjourned
court until 10:30 o'clock Monday morn-
Ing.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
will make the opening address for the
prosecution. His remarks will be brief.
The state will then introduce such wit
nesses as are necessary to prove Stan
ford White was shot and killed by Har
ry K. Thaw on the Madison Square gar
den the night of June 25 last.
In announcing that the introduction
will not requiro more than one session
of court Mr. Jerome is evidently of the
opinion that the cross-examination of
the state's witnesses to the actual
events associ od with the tragedy may
not be very extensive.
From the questions which have so
persistently been put to the- talesmen
by Thaw's attorneys as to any preju
dice against a defense of insanity, it la
at last generally conceded that a plea
of emotional insanity will lie the main
reliance of the young defendant.
This probably will lead to a eross
qileStionlng of the state's witnesses atl
to any peculiarity they may have no
ticed in Thaw's conduct the night of the
tragedy, In which event the conclusion
Of the slate's direct testimony may tak"
longer than is now anticipated.
Thaw seemed to be In the best of
spirits as the last juror was sworn.
Is Forty-first Talesman
Forty talesmen had ' n examined in
vain during the day. when Bernard
Qerstman declared he had no suoh
opinion 'In the case that could prevent
his rendering ;i fair and conscientious
venMot, and he was not prejudiced
against any line of defense and would
give the prisoner the benefit of every
reasonable doubt.
"Hut," suggested Dlatrlot Attorney
Jerome, "would you go farther than
that and require the state to remove
every possibility of doubt?"
"I would certainly want every doubt
removed," replied Qerstman, "before i
would vote to convict In a capital ease."
The district attorney challenged the
Juror for cause.
Thaw's attorneys ware not content
to let the talesman bd, and on cross-ox
aminatlon they brought his answers
within the legal requirements Mr,
Qeretman replying t" Mr. Hartrldgu
that he meant by "doubt" any dOUbl
that a reasonable man nii^M entertain.
Juatlce Fitagerald held this to be a
competent answer and overruled im.s
trlot Attorney Jerome's challen- ■.
"Tin- people are content!" announced
Mr. Jerome, and the Juror was sworn.
Thaw smiled In evident satisfaction,

GROUND GAPS OPEN
IN TERRIBLE QUAKE
Fearful Temblor Shakes South Sea
Islands — Entire Coast Line
Changes as Result of
Great Upheaval
By Associated Tress,
KAN FRANCISCO, Fob. 1. The Solo
mon Islands, in "ie South seas, were
visited by a fearful earthquake several
months ago ami so heavy was the force
of the temblor that the earth was
opened and deep gorges created. The
entire coast line of 'te Islands was
changed by the great upheaval, but
as far as can i>e ascertained there was
no loss of life.
The news wag brought here by Gov
ernor C. B. L. Moore, who arrived on
the Oceanic company's steamer Sierra
yesterday from Samoa. He staled that
a trading schooner name into Apia from
the Solomon group before he left for
this country with news of the temblor.
Tlie details brought by the trader were
meager.
It is deemed probable that the earth
quake that was experienced in the Sol
omon islands was the one recorded on
the seismographs in various parts of
the world. According to the instru
ment tit Apia, Samoa, it lasted for
several minutes and was said to be the
heaviest shock ever recorded. It was
figured that :t took place somewhere
in the South seas, but as no report
came in from the civilized islands It
was thought that it took place at sea.

By Associated press.
CHICAGO, Feb. I.— Professor F. C.
Marshall of Ohio Wesleyan university,
in an address on "Race QRectß of Immi
gration" at the University of. Chicago,
declared race suicide in America is due
io the influx of Immigration Into the
country. He said American stock had
been lowered many notches and de
clared the present situation Is alarm

America today would have a popu
lation of 1011,000, not) instead of 80,000,000
if it had retained Its original colonial
stock, according to his figures, Theso
are based on the country's growth for
the ilrst fifty years, at the end of which
Immigration began to be a severe in
fluence on the rate of increase of pop
ulation.
"It Is still an open question as to
whether the early Immigrants did not
produce a check In colonial stock, " Pro
fessor Marshal; said, "but it is figured
on what appears ti> be a reliable basis
that the population or the country
would have been 100.000,000 U It had
gone on at the rate of Increase <>f the
first fifty years of the country's his
tory.
"The law- of population show that
there is probably a casual connection
between the Immigration and the
checking of population. The native
Stock, Of course, has a great race pride.
As soon as Immigrants came over
with their lower standard of living
it became necessary to reduce the. size
of familial to keep up their standard
of living.
"The early immigrant caused a de
cline of the birth rate ami ;i displace

did not produce a serious racial change.
Unless conditions change and restric

hence there will be a considerable ra

Health Officials of Ultnoifl and Wis
consin have joined in their efforts to
stamp out scarlet fever and other con
tagious diseases in the centers from
which the greatest part of the milk
supply of ( Ihlcago comes.
This action follows an investigation
by chemists In charge of the city lab
oratories, which discloses the fact that
carloads of cream and milk are being
shipped in by a roundabout route from
Genoa Junction ami liassetts station,
Wisconsin, places in which the fever
epidemic is so virulent that shippers
had been forbidden to send milk to
Chicago without wr'tten permission
from the health board.
City Council <-\cts
The health committee of tho city
council yesterday took drastic measures
to suppress the epidemic. They author
ized the employment of 250 additional
medical Inspectors who, with the in
spectors already employed, will guard
all the public schools constantly.
The second move was to urge the
council to appropriate $ir>,ooo at once
for a contagious disease hospital.
The committee passed a resolution
exonerating the city heaith department
from charges of inefficiency and neglect
of duty.
Dr. J. A. Egan, secretary of the state
board of health, arrived in the city
yesterday and conferred with Health
Commissioner Whalen. He is investi
gating conditions over Northern Illi
nois. He considers the conditions grave
and will continue his inquiry today.
The Onk Park board of health, at a
meeting last night, decided to close the

Sensational Exposuras Probable
Sensational developments are expect
ed in connection with milk investiga
tions in the city. Dr. J. F. Blehn, who
is head of the milk inspection depart
ment, hinted that charges have beeS
preferred against a large local dis
tributer of milk, whose product is sup

MOB WOULD LYNCH
NEGRO MURDERER
Sheriff Foils Plans of Armed Men to
Exact Quick Vengeance for
Slaying of Woman
and Child
By Associated Press.
GLOBE, Ariz., Fb. I.— A telephone
message from Koosevelt this evening
states that an attempt made to lynch
William Baldwin, the negro charged
with the murder of Mrs. . Jorrla and her
child yesterday, ailed through the de
termination of Sheriff Thompson to pro
tect the prisoner.
Sheriff Thompson left Roosevelt at 5
o'clock this evening for Globe. A party
of armed horsemen started to intercept
the deputies, but the men drew their
Winchesters and the sheriff ordered
them to return. They complied, but
it is said that another attmept will be
made to intercept the party before they
reach Globe, where they are expected
early tomorrow morning.
At the inquest on '.lie bodies of the
victims in Koosevelt tonight .he cor
oner's jury returned the verdict that
"the deceased came to their death at
tht- hands of William Baldwin, a mu
latto, aged 25."
The evidence, according to District
Attorney Stoneman, who is on the
ground, is conclusive that Baldwin Is
the guilty party, as the prisoner's
story that he interfered while two
Mexicans were assaulting the victims
Is untenable, as only one pair of tracks
can be found near the scene of the
(rime and they lit Baldwin's shoes ex
actly.
Judge J. S. Nave stated tonight that
he will call special grand and trial
juries tomorr- w for the trial of liald

The bodies of the victims were

Pork ins Says Conflict
With Japanese Is
Inevitable
United States Will Never
Accept the Orientals,
States Senator
Member of California Delegation Dis.
cusses War Talk— Would Submit
Differences to Hague Tribunal
for Settlement
By ARsnclntetl Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-in an ad
tonight before the National Geo
graphical society, Senator Pnrkins of
California dwelt at length upon the
probability of a conflict between the
Americans and Japanese, "two Irrecon
clllahle races," as ho pronounced them.
Senator Perkins said:
"Hawaii has tho Japanese on her
hands as we in California will soon
have, and as this people is more ag
gressive, more tenacious, more cunning
and more determined than the Chinese,
it will never do to permit a long delay
before settling the question for all.
"For the people of Japan have started
out on a course of commercial develop
ment which will soon bring the United
States and Japan so close together that
it will be difficult to settle the question
at all. Japan is still in the flush of its
great triumph over what was consid
ered the largest of European powers. It
successfully interposed a barrier to
Russian supremacy in eastern Asia.
Japanese Would Expand
"The primary ambition of Japan is to
colonize the overflow population of the
empire in adjacent countries under its
own sovereignty. This is the true be
ginning of real national expansion, but
in addition to this the inherent Jap
anese traits of patriotic impulses will
make them a foreign element in any^>
country to which they may migrate.
Real expatriation is a condition practi
cally Impossible to the Japanese mind.
"The extent to which the Japanese will
occupy the territory of friendly powers
will he a displacement of the sovereignty
of tho power extending to them a wel
come and the presence of the sov
ereignty of the mikado of Japan.
"Japan, as the dominant oriental na
tion, will naturally form with the other
oriental nations an alliance which will
consolidate the nations into effective
co-operation.
"The science of war supervenes only
upon a foundation of all other sciences.
No nation in all history has exhibited
a greater capacity for unity of purpose.
than the Japanese; no nation has mani
fested a greater aptitude to seize upon
and appropriate all that the English
have discovered in the other nations In
art, science and in government.
Will Never Assimilate
"The Japaneso wherever distributed
will remain a considerable unit in the
aspirations of tho Japanese race, and
however distant their residence from
the throne of the mikado will still con
stitute an element of strength in the
unity of the empire. Naturalization in
any country to which they might mi
grate will not eliminate this racial in
stinct.
"Conflicts between nations are .the re
sult of antagonism which underlies the
very foundation of their purposes, their
aspirations, their life and expansion.
"The presence of Russia as a prime
factor in the commerce of the Pacific
coast was inimical to the aspirations of
tho Japanese empire in the same line.
