Fpecial I'ispatch to The Call.
DIXON, Nov. Id— There has been a
great deal oi excitement here to-day over,
the fact that Detective John Curtin ar- ;
rived and took coarse of the investigation ;
in the mysterious Belew murder case. j
The well-known captain cf the Curtin
agency at once esiabl shed headquarters
at the Arcade Hotel; summoned the prin
cipal witnesses before him and started a j
practical and systematic search for facts. j
Until his arrival nobody had been sub
jected to anything ike a systematic ex- j
amination, though the murdeis were com- j
mitted more than a week ago.
The most important wit,nes«es ques- •
tioned by Captain Curtin were Frank j
Beiew and Harry Allen. The latter has i
been accused of the crime by some of the ]
Belev.-. while Frank Belew was openly
accuseu of it by Allen, who was once en
gaged to Susie Belew. Captain Curtin
came in company with District Attorney
Devlin and the cfficia! stenographer of
the county.
They had Frank Beiew under the fire of i
eros -examination for nearly three hours. j
Ha stood the test without faltering until j
mention of his sister's death was made.
W on he was asked regarding the details j
of her death, especially with reference to ;
the way he held her hands when she was ;
dying, he wept like a child. !
Tom Beiew was examined first, but his I
story was quite brief. Alter he had told I
all he knew abo his sister's last hours J
an I about hi brother's feelings toward
(the other members of the family he was j
cused ana his accused brother was j
I called.
I Following the examination of Frank I
\ /J^lew Allen to:d his story in detail, giv- •
ins; his reasons fcr his suspicions of Frank j
Belew. He made a good impression and j
is believed to be innocent. }
There are a tew great landmarks in the |
case as at piesent developed. They stand j
forth boldly, and unless some new theory !
is sprang they will cut quite a figure j
in the case ii it ever comes to
trial. Frank Belew, one of the ac- j
cused men, positively claims that |
he left Dixon for his brother's ranch at l
7:30 o'clock on the Sunday evening pre- [
ceding the breakfast that contained the |
poison that killed his brother and sister. i
The theory cf those who accuse him is
that he left at least two hours later.
Constable New by and Sheriff Rush (
think they can rove that he was seen on
the streets at about 9:30 that night. Xignt
Watchman Btaton is -aid to be one of the
witnesses on this point, but he has been !
told not to say what he will swear to, so !
his evidence will be a sjuesa until he is on ■
ihe stand.
Harry Allen says he can show that he
was in seme one of the saloons of Dixon I
every minute of the night lrom about 7!
o'clock until he went home at 11:30. I
These facts become interesting whan it is
remembered that every circumstance
seems to point to the fact that the poison j
was placed in the t e aKettle on Sunday I
night some time between 6:30 o'clock j
and 9:30.
Frank Belew was in the house at sup- j
Vr»er. He admits that he was taken sick at |
sapper and that he was in the kitchen, j
„ . here, be says, lie was ill. He could have j
gone there alone wnile his sister was ]
■ ires ing her hair, expecting Charles
Kb man n, her betrothed, every minute, i
Khmann says he locked the kitchen door j
at about 9:30.
The supposition is that the poison was !
placed m the teakettle before the door
was locked, for there is no evidence that !
any one ent-reu the room violently, the
locks and windows being undisturbed.
The poisoner might have entered the lit
tle kitchen through the back door almost
any time during the three hours previous
to Ehmann'a visit for the purpose o! lock- |
ing up for in* ni^Ut.
He and Miss Belew were atone in the
bouse, and were in the parlor. It has
therefore been shown beyond question i
that Frank Beiew could have done the
deed, for he admits that he was in the '
kitchen at an hour when tne fatal dose \
might have been placed in ;he kettle.
In connection with the suspicions
against Frank Belew, the officers are mak
ing a close examination of his financial
condition and general hab.ts. He ad- J
mitted to The Call correspondent to- i
night that lie once signed his dead broth- ]
er's name to some notes, but said that j
deed was an error of his past life for which j
he repented and atoned.
He says it has nothing to Co with the j
grave charges now maoe against him. In
this connection it should be said that
Frank fears arrest and believes that the
suspicion is so strong that if he is arrested
h* will have a hard time convincing the
people, of bis innocence. Harry Allen
sa <i to-night:
"I wish they would hold the inquest, j
arrest me. or do something to get rid of I
the matter as soon as possible, for I am j
weary of this suspicion and tired of the
false and ridiculous accusations."
Captain Curtin is to remain during the
/week. He refuses to say anything con
-1 riling the case further than that lie re
lived some encouragement from his in
\ 'igations. He speak 3in high terms ol
-*-' '• efficiency of the county and township
officers who have been working on ilia
ca=e since the murder.

BIDDEFORD, Me., Nov. 16 — .lean
B. Guiliemet, the young man whose
lavishness in spending money led
to the suspicion that he was implicated in
the murder of his uncle, J. i'>. Leplanle,
Tax Collector of St. Libotre, Quebec, made
a complete confession to the officers this
morning. He admits that he killed and
robted the old man. Gniilemet said lie
gave up his job >n the Biddeford Mills
about six weeks ago and went to Canada
to visit his aunt's home and look for em
ployment.
The aunt had repeatedly complained to
him of the treatment she hud received
from her husband, declaring him to be
stingy .rd cruel-hearted toward her. She
auggested that Gailleme; assist her to put
Leplame ou' of the way. Her husband
had money, she said, and if the deed was
done at an opportune time a considerable
sum might he obtained from his pocket?.
Further, the prisoner claims his aunt
admitted her admiration of him, and as
sured him that, if he would kill the old
man she would come to Biddeford after
the affair had "blown over' 1 and would
marry him. She Kept at him also, he
says, during the two weeks he remained
at her home. He had not the couraee to
undertake the deed.
On the a:temoon of October 30 Collector
Leplante let his home and went to an ad
joining neighboring village to transact
some uu»ine*s. After lie had gone Mrs.
Leplante repealed lo Guiliemet her scheme
and sai - that i.ow would be a good time
to get r;d of ncr husband. Sue said he
woud have $'210 in his pocket on his re
turn, and if lie could be waylaid by .ihe
i oadside that sum could be easily secured.
Guiliemet says his aunt supplied him with
copious draughts of rum, and undents in
fluence his nerve was strengthened, and,
hardly knowing what he was doing, he
started out from the house to meet and
slay his uncle.
Securing n cordwood stick from a wood
pile near the house, he slowiy waller d
Uown the road, hiding behind a fence
about lorty feet from the end of the lane.
It was nearly dark when the uncle ap
proached. Alter !•*» bad passed, Guilie
met climbed the fence and rushed upon
him lrom the rear, felling him with one
swinginc blow. The money was found in
the pockets, as tne aunt hal predicted,
and, leaving his victim bleeding by the
roadside, the young murderer hurried to
the hcu«» and handed over the roll to the
aunt, telling her in what way he had dis
patched the old man.
Shortly afterward a teamster f und the
dead body and it was brought to the
house. The scalp was badly torn and the
skull crushed.
Af.er the inquest Guiliemet made prep
arations lor coming back to Biddeiord.
From the $200 that ho had taken from
the dead mail's pockets Mrs. Leplunle*
counted out $70 and gave it to him, cau
tioning him not to exhibit it nor attempt
to have it chaiiite l into American money
till he readied the States. She supplied
him with a sufficient amount of American
money to enabie him to purchase a rail
road ticket.
He says that just before his departure
she renewed her promise to come to Bid
deford after the talk of the neighborhood
I 1 ad s-übsideo and live with him here.
Guiliemet is about 17 years of age, but
looks much o-der. His aunt, a sister of
his mother, is 3/> years old, and the
mother of seven children. His father ano
mother called at the police station this
forenoon, and in tneir presence the pris
oner repeated his confession.
NEW ARnESTS IN BRAZIL.
Effect of a Confession as to ihe Plot
to Assassinate President
Moraes
Copyright, 18P7, by James Gordon Bennett.
BUENOS A.YRE3, Nov. 10.— I am ad
vised by the Heta d's correspondent in
Kio Janeiro, Brazil, that police, through
a confession made to th^m, have learned
that the plot to kill President Moraes is
of far greater magnitude than was at first
thought. As a result of this confession,
many new arrests have been made.
The Brazilian press demands that the
Government investigate the distribution
by the Italian le ation of the indemnity
pai.i two years ago as a result of the anti-
Italian r.ots In San Pablo. The relations
batwaen Italy and Brazil aie daily becom
ing more complicated. Tne Legation m
npon the degradation of the officials

The Government has so far evaded a re

Washington, D. C, Nov. iti. j
The Bering Sea race ing, in which rep
resentatives of Great Britain, Canada and
the United Slates have participated, came
to a close to-night, tie seal experts mak
ing a unanimous report ' concerning the
condition of the seal herds and ihe diplo
matic representatives cf the respective
Governments reaching an understanding
by which they hope at a later day to effect
a tinal adjustment not only of the Bering
Sea quostion, but o: other pending border
controversies. For the present, however,
no final action was taken as to the sus
pension of pelagic sealing.
The Canadians urgtd that other ques
tions be embraced in any plan of settle
tlemcnt and suggested an international
commi>sion toaicomplish tlr.s end. This
proposition was fully discussed and an
agreement reached that the Canadian of
ticials would |ut their views in writing
after returning to Ottawa and submit
them to the authorities here. All parties
concerned say that the out.o k is fuvor
able to a satisfactory adji'(<tnient.
The unanimous agreement of the ex
perts brings the Governments together for
the first t'.rue on all the facts relating to
the seals. This agreement was reached
arter painstaking comparison of notes
and the results were announced in an of
ficial statement by General Foster as fol
lows: "The delegates to the fur-seal con
lerence have acreed unanimously on cer
tain propositions touching the fur-seal
herds of Bering Sea. The report contains
sixteen propositions which are briefly
epitomized as follows:
That the PribylV if hTd has declined in num
bers iroro 18t>4 to 1897; th«t the number was
formerly three to rive times that which how
ens".; that the death rate among pups is
gieai, not more than one-half to one-third
surviving to the age of 3 years; thai the num
ber ot breeding feumles in 1896 and 181)7 was
between H>!),o<>o to 130,000; that the decrease
irom 18'Jti to 1897 was notable, though
its extent could not be definitely deter
mined ; tbtit land killing of males, as now prac
ticed, does uo harm lo the herds; that the
pelagic sealers respect the limitations oi the
law; that pelacic sealing involves iudiscrlmi
:mt<- killing; ii.m tne caich ai sea contains a
marked excess of females; that tt'e killing oi
m a lei on ,nnd is the cause of lhi«s; thai among
[be temales killed are not oaiy those both
nurMiig and pregnant, but also ninny who art:
Immature or who have already lost their
pup^; that the iur seal, being poly^f.mous, a
large numbor oi males may be killed with l*n
punity ; that females cannot be killed In simi
lar numbers without checking 'he increase of
the herd or bringing about an actual
deciine; that a small number of femaies,
U'ss than tlit> annual increase rem
nant of breeders, might be taken without
producing actual decrease; that excessive pe
lagic sealing has ied to a reduction In the
herds; that peUgic sealing has of late fallen
( ff in greater ratio than the herd has. thus
producing a tendency toward equilibrium In
d umbers; tiiat in estimating the luture con
dition of the herds must b:- tf»ken into consid
eration the reductions iv the number of Mir
viving mips caused by the pelagic catches ot
1894-1895; ttiat the herd is not in danger oi
actual extermination so long as its h« lints on
land arc protected and tne protected zone is
maintained; that both land and sea killing
now yield an inconsiderable profit, either to
the lessees or the pelagic sealers themselves.
Ihe delegates signing tho ngreempnt ate
as foliows: Charles Sunnier iiamlin,
David Starr Jordan, DA cv Wentworth
Thompson, James Melville Macoun.
Following the azreement of the experts,
the diplomatic < llicials a-sembled at Gen
eral Foster's house to discuss the larger
question of putting an end to nelegic seal
me and of seuling oiher border controv -i
sies. Oivine to the continued illness of
Sir Julian Pauncefote, who is confined to
his room, the British Government was
represente 1 by the First Secretary of the
British Embassy. Mr. Adam.
Sir Wilfred Laurier and S*r Louis Da
vies v.era present in bahalf of Canada.
General Fester's power hus been material
ly enlarged since Ihe comirn; of the Cana
dian officials, for, as a result of the long
and friendly talk be'ween Sir Wilfred and
Secretary Sherman, the latter hud written
to the Canadian Premier staling that the
President had empowered General Foster
to treat on the various border questions
whirh Sir Wilfred had called to tne atten
tion of Mr. Snerman and with the co-op
eration of the British Government to con
clude treaties covering those Mibjects.
This gave the meeting n broad signifi
cance, li began at 4 o'clock p. m. and
lasted until 7. During thes>' three hours
the entire ranjje of border aff lira was dis
cussed. Primarily the purpose of the
meeting was to secure an usreement as to
the Ber.ng £e.i matter. The Canadians,
made it clear, uowever, that they wished
any plan of settlement to take a broader
scope than the one subject of the Bering
Sea, and to embrace the many sources of
friction along the boraer. In this con
nection the plan of an international com
mission was discussed at great, length.
The Crtnaaians felt that the commission
Bffr»rded the Dest means of reconciling all
d;ffrences and of opening the way to
reciprocity.
The discussion was of the most friendly
nature throughout, and no sharp differ
ences tvere allowed to creep out. It was
fait, however, that the plan of a commis
sion w:i~ too large a question for immedi
ate i ('termination. A final understand
ing v/as reached, therefore, that the
Canadian proposition should be reduced
to writing, as a basis for further negotia
tions. This closed the cnuiereme and
the officials said their farewells, express
ing satisfaction iv the cordial feeling
which had characterized the meeting of
the last ten <lav<«.

LOSES HER MIND
FROM TERROR
Phoenix Girl Frightened Into
Insanity by a Pair of
Footp:.ds.
No Indications That the Unfortu
nate Will Recover Her
Reason.
-Special Dispatch to THE Caia.
PHCENIX, Nov. 16.— The third of a
•cries of hold-ups near Phoenix within the
last week occurred last night. It was at
tended by possibly something worse than
a fatality, for one of the victims, a young
woman, has not recoveied her reason,
and it is feared that it is permanently un
settled.
The hold-up took place at 8:30 o'clock,
a quarter of a mile from the Insane asylum
and not far from the point where J. E.
Stov.ill \>as robbed !a=it week. William
Katlmg, nn attendantat the asylum, and
Minnie liabby, win , with her father, is
also employed at the asylum, left i tie in
stitution shortly before 8:.'(0 o'clock to ac
company Gertie i>«bby, a younger sister,
to the home of her parents, a hall-mile
distant. They went down the asylum
/rounds inside a hedge fence. When they
reached the corner and turned inio the
road two men wilh handkerchiefs tied
over the;r faces sprang from tne hedge,
and, holding revolver.-* at Railing's dead,
ordered him to hold up Ms hands. He
did so, but the girls screamed and ran.
The younger ran only a (short distance
before, she fell, srrenmine. Railing; ran
to her side and tne highwaymen disap
peaied.
The girl coiled tl c name of Thomas
King, whose house was on the opposite
side of the road. Without putting on vis
shoes Mr. King ran out and lound Itaiiinjr
and i hi; demented girl. She was still
screaming:
•'Oh. mike them take off the handker
chiefs! Oh, don'tlet them hurt me:"
bh»- wa- lafcen home and her father and
D . Haoibiin were sent for. Extraordinary
quantities of anesthetics were ifiven her,
with out little effect. At 1 o'clock this
morninc her condition was even worse.
She was rigid with fright and always
screaming, "Oh, make then) take the
handkerchiefs off their faces!" showing
that her mind had stopped at that awful
moment. Her condition at no time gave
hope of her recovery.
As soon as word ol the ou'rasre reached
the .-isylum. Governor McCorii, who hap
pened to be there, set on foot a movement
for pur*uinu the footpads. He sent to
town for otticers, who hurried to the asy
lum with tv'iodhound-, but '.hey were un
nble to find any trail. Ko one hnd seen
in what direction the footpads fled when
frightened by the screaming of the girls.
Tuey are no doubt the same men who
robbed Stovall la«t week and Claycomb
last Saturday night. Their robberies have
so far netted them less than $o, but they
have succee ling in instituting a reign of
terror in the outskirts of the city.

THAT JUNKETING
TRIP CAME HIGH
Penitentiary Wardens Spent
a Cool Thousand
Dollars.
Taxpayers of California Must
Bear the Expense of Their
Pleasant Outing.
Special Dispatch to Tiik Cam..
SAN QTJENTIN, Cal., Nov. ltl— The
taxpayers ol CalilomiH might well ask
themselves what benefit they have re
ceived through the expenditure of $1000 of
the Slate's money which was appropri
ated to send Wardens Hale and Anil on a
pleasure trip 10 the East. It will be re
membered that the Attorney-General
thought it wou:d he necessary to have
Hale and Aull in Washington when the
Durrant case came up. It was predicted
by some members of the bar that nothing
would come of it. and that the Wardens
would better stay at home and attend to
affairs within their jurisdiction. However,
the Prison Directors *et aside $1000 tor ex
penses, ana me Wardens journeyed
towurd the rising sun, and were feted and
dined while the California, taxpayers stood
the expense.
Notwithstanding the expenditure of
$1000 and the powerful influence or" two
California State-prison waruens in Wash
ington at the same time, Durrant siiil
lives and thrives and waxes fat on food
from the officers' mess, paid for out of the
pocket* of the taxpayers.
It mishl be interesting to the public to
know that Wnrden Hnle, at the meeting
ol th<* State Board of Prison Directors at
San Quentin last Saturday, made a verbal
report ol his trip, which consisted of teJl
ing what a nice time he had and how tie
found only one penitentiary which he
thought compared with San Quentin. The
Director." (there were only three present —
DePue, Devlin and Wiikins) listened to
Male's narrative, and when it was over got
down to business again.
That appears to be the net result of Mr.
Hule's junketing trip to Washington.
Next Saturday the Prison Directors will
go to Folsotn to hold a meeting, and un
doubtedly Warden at that penitenti
ary will tell them what a high old time he
had spending his $500 in less than a month.
And maybe Aull will tell them that he
went on the Wordcn ca-e, which, up to
this writing, has not come before the
United States Supreme Court.

Seventy-One Millions Will Be Real
iZ d Finally by the Gov

Special Dispatch to Thk C.uu
Call Office, I'iogs Hoi?f.,>
Washington, Nov. 16. )
The Call correspondent had a talK
with Senator Harris of Kansas to-night
I regarding the s-ale of the Union Pacific,
and the comir.2 r-ale of tbe Kansas Pacific
Railroad. He expressed iiiuiseli as beine
well satisfied with the settlement nir.de by
the administration. Indeed, he went fur
tiier, and said that Attorney-General Mc-
Kenna had done splendidly and had ex
ceeded his rno-t sanguine exwctatioii".
This is significant, as eomine from a
Populist Senator, who, when a member
of the House, was snob a bitter opponent
of the refunding bill, aud who was Judge
Maguire'a strongest ally in defeating the
measure. Senator Harris said: "I Delievo
that the Union Pacitic reorganization
I'omm ltiee will huve to bd for the Kansas
Pacific, in order to protect its junior secu
rities as well as to v>rolect its brancu roads
that are now- feiders to the Kansas I'acitic.
"Ta c talk about them paralleling the
road or purcnasinsj ih»* so-called 'Leaven
worth line' is all nonsense. They will
bid for '.he Kans-as Pacific, and the price
they will pay for it will be fully $19,000,
--000, so that the sum total the Gov
ernment. Will realize from tbe sale of
the I'nion and Kansas Pacific roads
w ill amount to $71,000,000 or more.
The Government will, therefore, not
Jose a dollar on its loan. I believe that if
the Government stands firm the Central
Pacific can be male to real ze as much
proportionately as the other two roads.
