Father Leo Nelnrichs was shot and killed Sunday at Denver by Alio Gulzeppe, an avowed anarchist and priest hater, while the priest was administering the sacrament at early mass In St. Elizabeth's Roman Cath olic church. Kneeling at thet altar rail, between two women, Gulzeppe pressed the muzzle of a revolver against the body of the priest, after receiving from him the consecrated wafer, and shot the priest through the heart. Ex claiming "My God, my God," Father Leo fell prone In front of the altar and died. With an Inarticulate scream, the as sassin sprang into the aisle, and wav ing the smoking pistol about his head dashed to the church door. For a mo ment the hundreds or more persons in the church were dazed. Several wom en fainted and many others became hysterical. Several men, Including Patrolman Daniel Cronln, Btarted in pursuit of the murderer. Policeman Cronln over look the fleeing Italian on the church steps. Gulzeppe atttempted to shoot the policeman, but was foiled and overpowered after a desperate strug gle In which several men assisted the officer. The murderer was hurriedly remov ed to the city Jail.

Lieutenant General Stoessel wai condemned to death by a military court for the surrender of Port Arthur to the Japanese. General Fock, who commanded the Fourth East Siberian division of Port Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for a disciplinary offense, which was not connected with the surrender, and General Smirnoff, act ing commandant of the fortress, and Major General Rolss, chief of staff to General Stoessel, were acquitted of the charges against them for lack of proof. The court recommended that the death sentence on Lieutenant General Stoessel be commuted to ten years imprisonment in a fortress and that he be excluded from the service. General Vodar, president of the court, read the sentences amid a tense silence.. By a great effort of self-control General Stoessel main tained a rigid soldier-like Impassivity. General Smirnoff also was seemingly unmoved, but there were tears In the eyes of General Rclss. The sentence of death was pro nounced upon General Stoessel "for surrendering the fortress before all the means of defense had been ex hausted, for failing to enforce his au thority and for military misdemeanor." Commutation of sentence was ask ed on the ground that Port Arthur, beset by overwhelming forces, defend ed Itself under General Stoessel's leadership with unexampled stubborn ness and filled the world with aston ishment nt the heroic courage of Its garrison; that several assaults had been repulsed with tremendous losses on the part of the enemy; that General Stoessel throughout the siege had maintained the heroic courage of the defenders, and, finally, that he had taken energetic part In three cam paigns." Sixty Years an Editor. Crosby Stuart Noyes of the Wash ington Star, whose death was reported from Pasadena, Cal was 83 years of age and about 60 jears of his man hood had been spent In the newspaper business. He was born in Minot, Me., In 1825, and finding farm life too hard for his frail physique, he came to Washington In 1847, making the last stages of his Journey on foot for lack of funds. He began his newspaper career In the fol lowing year as a special correspon dent and as a writer for the Washing ton News. From that date until a few weeks preceding his death Mr. Noyes labor ed unceasingly at his chosen profes sion and set his stamp upon Washing ton Journalism as a purveyor of clean, sound, active facts.

Judge Ball of the superior court In Chicago has dissolved the injunc tion secured last October by Stuyves ant Fish by virtue of which the Har riman interests were restrained from voting 281,231 shares of the capital stock of the Illinois Central railroad at the annual meeting of the company. The theory on which counsel for Mr. Fish based their arguments in support of the injunction that it was contrary to the laws and public policy o? the state of Illinois to allow for eign corporations to own and vote the stock of domestic corporations, was denied by the court. Under the ruling of the court the previously enjoined stock which is held by the Union Pacific Railway company and by the Railroad Secur ity company of New Jersey, can be voted at the annual meeting of the Illinois Central which is to be held in Chicago on March 2. No General Reduction Contemplated. Industrial and financial circles of the country have been more or less 'concerned over what they regard as a prospect that the railroads of the country have In contemplation a general reduction In the wages of their employes. Such apprehension Is practically groundless. Information which has reached the Interstate com merce commission indicates clearly that there Is no concerted action on the part of the American railways to make general changes In their wage scales at this time or In the near fu ture. Instances of proposed readjust ment of wages are cited In the case of two or three Southern systems, but it Is expected that the employes may receive the roads half way and tij Berious difficulty is anticipated.

UNDER NORTH First McAdoo Tunnel Opened to Passenger Travel. Brief Ceremonies In Two States In augurate Opening of Greatest Sin. gle Stride Toward Completion of New York's Great Under-River Transportation System. New York, Feb. 25. The first tun nel for passenger traffic under the North river, breuking the water bar rier which has separated New York from the rest of the continent, was thrown open to the public at noon to day. After brief ceremonies at the Man hattan and lloliokeu terminals in which Governor Hughes of New York and Governor Fort of New Jersey participated, a message was received from President Roosevelt at Washing ton congratulating the metropolis on the completion of the great work, and two trains of eight cars each were simultaneously started one on each of the two tubes. The operation of trains through the first of the McAdoo tunnels under the Hudsou river between Hoboken and New York city marks the greatest single stride toward the completion of New York's great under-rlver trans portation system. The north tunnel, a double tube system, is now In com plete operation between the Hoboken terminal and the station at Nineteenth street and Sixth avenue, Manhattan. The time of the electric trains for this entire distance is less than 12 minutes. There are eight cars in the trains, and they are made entirely of Bteel, absolutely fireproof and con structed upon a plan differing mater ially from those In use In the subway system. The cars have side doors In the mid dle as well as at the ends, and the ter minal stations are so arranged that passengers may enter and leave the cars by different ways, so that con gestibn Is avoided. The doors of the cars are operated by compressed air and no signal bells are used. When the last door In the train Is securely closed the motorman re ceives an electric flush signal and starts the train. The arrangement Is such that the signal cannot be given so long as a door In the train remains open. The entire Hudson river tunnel sys tem, which cost $70,X0,000, will he completed and In operation by the end of the year. The McAdoo, or New York and New Jersey tunnel, which was opened for traffic today, runs from Fifth street, Hoboken, N. J., under the North river to Christopher street, thence up Sixth avenue to Greeley square (Thirty third street and Broadway.) Another tunnel (the Hudson), un der the North river, being built by Mc Adoo, runs from Jersey City to Cort landt and Church streets, New York. This will be opened for traffic In about six months. The East river tunnel, built by the city of New York and operated by the Interborough company (subway), has been In operation about six weeks. It runs under the East river from the Battery, N. Y., to Borough Hall, Brooklyn. When completed its ter minus will be the Long Island railroad station at Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn. The Pennsylvania railroad's tunnel system begins at Homestead, N. J., at the edge of the Jersey Meadows, run ning to the North river, thence to Thirty-third street and Sixth avenue, where a large station Is In course of erection. From here these tunnels have been extended east through Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth streets under the East river to the Long Is land railroad In Long Island City. The two North river tubes (Penn sylvania railroad) are completed. The first of the four Pennsylvania railroad tunnels under the East river was com pleted last week; the other three are expected to meet in two months. The tunnel work under Jersey Is about half completed. The Belmont tunnel, the first tunnel to be completed, runs under hs East river at Forty-second street and F'ist avenue to Long Island City. Belmont Is trying to induce the city of Ne York to buy this tunnel and run it In connection with the subway ar t'ne Grand Central station, Forty ne:ond street, New York.
