A DIAMOND KING DEAD.
: can Mined sud Railways, Ne More,
LONDON, July 17 Alfred Beit, the
well known South African financier, Is
for some time.
Mr. Belt was the richest man in Eng
land, “belug worth $35000.000 to $30,
0000, yet he was seldom seen In pub
lic and was hardly known outside of
the circles of scientific finance. He
cofitrolled the output and price of the
world's diamond industry, had a great
distaste for notoriety, was very popular
with his Intimates and was usually re
ferred to as the “Little Man”
Mr, Beit, who was un stanch friend of
Cecil Rbodes, arrived In South Africa
several years ahead of the latter, and
when he died was by far the largest In
dividual owner of mines and lands in
South Africa.
The markets were not affected by Mr.
Beit’s death, as for a long time it had
been recognised that he was In delicate
health.
Mr. Belt, who was born In 1833 at
Hamburg, was a life governor of the
De Beers Consolidated mines, a part-
per in the firm of Wernher, Beit £%Co.
and a director of the Rand mines,
Rhodesia mliways Bechuanaland mall
way trust, Consolidated company, Bult-
fontein mine and British Chartered
South Africa company.
He was reported to have been impli-
cated in the Jameson maid, testified Lo
fore the Jameson commission and re
sigued from the board of directors of
the British Chartered South Africa
company, but his resignation was oot
Rccepted at the time.
Later a sult was brought against Mr.
Belt on the ground of complicity in the
raid, and his prosecution was demand-
ol by Dr. Leyd, the representative of
the Transvaal! in Europe, and in 1898
his resignation the board of di-
rectors of the British Chartered South
Africa company was accepted.
When 11 Rbodes died In 1902 it
was that Mr. Beit was appointed
ove of "his executors, and the latter
thereupon returuied to the board of
directors of the British Chartered South
Africa company.
Early In 1303 the financier had an
spuplectic stroke while at Johanues-
burg, and be never fully regained his
health Since that time be had lived In

Was Ezseted.
WASHINGTON, July 17.—The state
department has made public a strong
protest addressed by Mm. Mary Schaof-
ter Labaree, formerly of Urumia, Per
sia, to American Minister Richmond
Pearson, at Teheran, agulust the ex.
action by the United Simtes govern
went of an iudemuity of $50.00 for
the murder of her fiusband. Rev. Ben.
jamin W. Labaree. a missionary, killed
on Mount Arrurat by religions fanatics.
While belleving that when an Amer
ican citizen has been murdered because
of the criminal laxwess of a foreign
government those dependent to him
for support should be awurded a suit:
able Indemuity, Mrs. Labaree made
the following declaration:
“] belleve that the great mission
cause to which my husband and I dedl-
cated our lives and which bas become
dearer to mé because of the terrible
sacrifice [ have been called upon to
make for it, I belleve that this may re
ceive serious injury If my clilldren and
1 accept an indemnity for this murder,
“The matter would not be understood
by the great maf of the people in this
district ‘who would inevitably know of
i, as the Persian idea of blood
money is so different from our civilized
anderstanding of an lodemuity. Thus
serious and lasting Injury might be
done to the mission cause, for which
we have already sacrificed so much,
that 1 prefer to walve my right as an
American citizen ratber than 10 sew this
cause suffer.”
She further protested against the size
of the lndemnitly, saying that while her
hygsband’s life could not be measured
in value by the standards prevailing in
that country which fixed the life of a
Christian at 33 tomans (dollars) and
the maximum value of life of a Moslem
at 1.000 tomans yet the dispropriation
between the sum demanded in this case
with that of sums pald io similar cir
cumstances by other governments was
too great.
Mrs. Labaree asked that the strongest
measures be taken by the United States
government to see that if any Indem-
nity was in the end exacted it should
not be extorted by the Persian govern
ment from the Innocent people of the
province where the murder occurred.
dn spite of her protest $30,000 was
actually paid to her by Persia before
the thirty days’ period named In the
ultimatum of the United States had
expired. This sum was three times
greater than the maximum ever before
pald by the Persian government for the
murder of a prigite person. Minister
Pearson obta
money should uét be levied under any
gulse of special tax from the Inhabl-
tants of the province.

fight between O'Brien and Berger here
last night the first round was all in fa-

In the second round Berger opened
a gash In O'Brien's left vwye, and Jack

Both were covered with blood as they
went to their corners. The round was
slightly in O'Brien’s favor. .
The third round was also slightly in
O'Brien's favor. Berger opeucd up the
cut uver the left eye, and O'Brien had
Berger's left eye almost closed.
The fourth round was the most
vicious of the battle, and bonors were
even when the gong sounded. Up to
this time the fight had been one of the
fastest witnessed between big men Iu
this city. s
In the fifth round O'Brien had the
advantage. He repeatedly landed his

surprised the spectators by bis clever.
