Placed Lives of Score of Trolley
Passengers In Peril,
Arrests In Suit Case Murder Vlaltlnj
British Cruiser Squadron Rewardi
For Mlddletown Murderer Jews
Massacred In Russia Cunllffe to B
Sentenced Nov. 11.
The lives of a score of trolley cm
passengers were placed In even,
peril Thursday night at Ithaca, N. Y.
by a prank of several Cornell students
The street car rails, at a curve on a
dangerous grade, a short distance
above tho deep Cascadllla gorge, nl
the edge of the Cornell campus, wer
greased with soap, evidently to cause
the motorman to lose control of his cat
while descending the hill.
As a car approached the curve sev
eral Btudents Jumped from behind
trees and grabbing the rope at tlin
rear of the car, pulled tho trolley polo
oft the wire. The motorman and con
ductor managed to replace the pole
In time to reverse the power and check
the speed of the car as It passed ovei
the slippery rails.
Manager Post of the Street Railway
company said that had a less experi
enced motorman been in charge noth
ing could have prevented the car from
leaving the rails at the curve and that
In all probability It would have been
precipitate into the deep gorge.
The matter Is regarded as a criminal
attempt to wreck a car nnd has been
placed In the hands of the district at
torney nnd police. The railway offi
cials say that If the offenders can be
captured they will prosecute them to
the full extent of the law.
Arrests For Suit Case Murder.
Dr. Percy D. McLeod, a reputablo
physician of the Back Bay district
of BoRton, was arrested on the
charge of performing an Illegal opera
tion on Sunan Geary, the Cambridge
chorus girl whose body was found In
two suit cases In the waters of Bos
ton harbor.
While the authorities admit that
other arrests may be expected soon
they say that the case Is practically
completed and that It no longer re
mains a mystery.
Through tho confessions of Louis
Crawford and William Howard, who
were arrested In New York Thursday,
the authorities received evidence
which, In their opinion, warranted the
arrest of Dr. McLeod. It Is alleged
thnt Dr. McLeod was called Into the
case after the first operation was per
formed in a Tremont street oflleo and
that he performed a second opera
tion, of a desperate nature, in a vain
attempt to save the life of the young
woman.
Miss Geary failing to recover, li la
alleged that Dr. McLeod In an effort
to conceal the crime, dismembered the
body.
Head of Woman Found.
What is confidently believed to be
the head of Susanna A. Geafy, the
dress stilt case victim, was recovered
In a leather hand bag from tho bottom
of BoRton harbor on Sunday. It was
dragged to the Biirface very near the
point where Lewis W. Crawford nnd
William Howard, who have confessed
to disposing of the dismembered body
of the girl, said they dropped It from
the stern of the East Boston ferry
boat

From many Russian cities come re
ports of conflicts, In which the Jews
pppear to bo the principal sufferers,
in Kieff theoss of life and property
has been very great. In Theodosia,
Kostroma and Saratoff the disorders
have been most serious. There is an
unconfirmed report that KlshlnefC has
been totally destroyed by fire.
A London newspaper's St. Peters
burg correspondent estimates that In
the leading 50 provincial towns ot
Russia 1,000 persons have been killed
and 10,000 seriously wounded in the
last 24 hours. The revolutionary
movement in Finland Is unchecked, the
Finnish National Guard opposing the
advance of'Russlnn troops and compell
ing them to retire.
Latest accounts of devastation In
the Odessa Jewish quarter add horror
to tho situation. Besides numerous
mills all the bakeries, shops and nearly
COO homes have been destroyed. The
Jews killed In every circumstance
were treated with revolting barbarity.
Skulls were battered with hammers,
nails were driven Into the bodies, eyes
were gouged out and ears severed.
Many bodies were dlsembowled and in
cases petroleum was poured over the
sick found hiding In cellars and they
were burned to death.
It Is alleged that the police and sol
diers everywhere marched at the head
cf mobs, Inciting them to destroy the
Jews by crying "the Jews have killed
our emperor" and similar expressions.
While the mobs wero engaged In the
slaughter the soldiers busied them
selves plllnglng the cash and Jewels,
leaving tho household goods to the
mobs. Tho owners of many houses got
rid of the bandits by the payment of
a ransom to the police.

diana Navigation company ol Michi
gan City and Chicago to the Puget

lies, one of the vessels which es
caped the grip of the arctic Ice, has

the oil from 16 whales. The valuo of
her cargo Is estimated at $1C0,000.
Captain Bodflsh first sent from Unal
aska the news that the whaling fleet
had been caught In the Ice. Experi
enced shipping men think It impos
sible for all of the Imprisoned vessels
to remain in the Arctic until the sea
opens and those who do survive will
have to face the danger of the breaking
up of Ice floes In the spring.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
President Roosevelt Sett Apart Thurs
day, Nov. 30, as a Day of Thanks
giving and Prayer.
Washington, Nov. By the presi
dent of the United States of America
"A Proclamation.
When nearly three centuries ago the
first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re
public, they fronted not only hardship
and privation but terrible risk to their
lives. In those grim years the custom
grew of setting apart one day In each
year for a special service of thanks
giving to the Almighty for preserving
the people through the changing sea
sons. The custom has now "become natlou
al and hallowed by immemorial usp.gfi.
We live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers, the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days; and yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great now as
at any previous time In our history.
It Is eminently fitting that once a
year our people should set apart a day
for praise and thanksgiving to the
Giver of Good and, at the same time,
that they express their thankfulness
for the abundant mercies received
should manfully acknowledge their
shortcomings and pledge themselves
solemnly and In good faith to striv6
to overcome them.
During the past year we have been
Messed with bountiful crops. Our bus
iness prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
a level of material well being as ours
now stands. We are not threatened
by foes from without. The foes from
whom we should pray to be delivered
are our own passions, appetites and
follies; and against these there Is al
ways need that we should war.
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs
day, the 30th day of this November, as
a day of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future, and on that
day I ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and
places of worship, and In rendering
thanks unto the Most High for the
manifold blessings of the past year,
consecrate themselves to a Hfo of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so that
this nation may do Its allotted work on
the earth In a manner worthy of thee
who founded it and of those who pre
served It.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
2nd day of November in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and five and of the Independence of the
United States the one hundred and
thirtieth.
Theodore Roosevelt.
WITTE AN UNPOPULAR MAN.
8ays Mr. Stead, Who Feart For Ameri
can Residents In St. Petersburg.
Copenhagen, Denmark, Nov. 7. W.
T. Stead, who has arrived here from
Russia, visited the American minis
ter, Thomas J. O'Brien, and asked
whether any American warships were
near at hand for the protection of the
American residents of St. Petersburg,
In case the situation grew worse. Mr.
O'Brien said that no American ships
were nearby. Moreover, he was not an
alarmist regarding the situation at St.
Petersburg.
Mr. Stead said: "While I hope for the
best It will be wise to be prepared for
the worst. No one knows what will
happen. The American colony would
feel comfortable If vessels under the
stars and stripes were within call In
case the worst comes to the worst."
Mr. Stead said that he feared the
emperor's manifesto for liberal reforms
In Russia had come too late to secure
Its early peaceful acceptance by tho
whole people. He was optimistic,
however," on the eventual outcome.
"The question Is," said Mr. Stead,
"can Wltte, who undoubtedly Is a most
unpopular man, rally the whole con
stitutional party and Induce the whole
people to put their trust In promises
of a new liberty. If he can, then there
Is a chance of Improving the situitl n.
Count Witte is a clovar man. and cer
tainly now has the full support of the
emperor. Unfortunately, however, no
body else has confidence In Wia?, who
himself places no confide ice in ai.y
body." Blunder In Making Up Ballots.
Kingston, N. Y., Nov. 7. When bal
lots for the township of Rochester, Ul
ster county, wore distributed to elec
tion officials yesterday Leroy C. Kei
llor, Republican nominee for town
clerk, discovered that his name was
not on the ticket, but Instead tho name
of Leroy C. Baker had been placed on
the ballots. Baker and Kclller are
neighbors. Discovery of the mistake
wus equally surprising to both. Baker
has no political aspirations. The sec
retary of the town caucus acknowl
edged that ho had unintentionally
blundered In making up the ballot, and
Supreme Court Justice Hnsbrouck
granted an order for tho printing of
now ones. These were delivered to
tho officials last night.
Founder of Y. M. C. A. Dead.
London, Nov. 7. Sir George Will
lams, founder of the Young Men's
Christian association nnd president of
Its London headquarters for 20 years,
died yesterday. He was born In 1821.
Sir George was knighted by Queen Vic
toria in 1894 for his Bervlces in bo
half of the association.
Death of Miss Augusta Dodge.
Salem, Mass., Nov. 7. Miss Augus
ta Dodge, the last surviving sister of
