WOMtX IX HOUSE OF MONKS
Got. Becktiam' Wife and Other
L.adie on Forbidden Ground
Gethsemanie, Ky., June 5. When
Mrs. Beckham, wife of the governor
of Kentucky, passed the portals of the
famous old Trappist Monastery of
Gethsemanie today, she carried with
her the distinction of being the sec
ond woman that has ever had the hon
or to invade the monastic peace of
this beautiful old retreat. The wel
come of the governor and party was
impressive uunique, and a new page
of history was made for this commu
nity of the silent brotherhood.
The party was greeted at the sta
tion by a brass band and the Gethsem
anie College students, and escorted to
the abbey. Then the way was laid to
the porter's lodge, over which is tlu
tign which forbids women to enter
under pain of ex-communication. Mrs.
Beckham glanced at the sign, and then
at the lay brother, whose duty it is
to prevent feminine invasion. But for
ence the monk was disarmed, and the
woman rustled proudly by into the sa
cred domain of the Trappist Ascetics..
The ban of perpetual silence of the
brothers was temporarily lifted by the
abbot, and the brothers were permitted
to express their pleasure at meeting
the excutive. After an inspection of
the premises, the party was tendered a
dinner by Fahtree Obercht.
Gov. Beckham in his address spoke
of the former visit he had made to the
unforbidden grounds about the col
lege with a party of young men and
women. "We were graciously received
by Father Edward, who was the ab
bott," he said, "but were forbidden
within these sacred precincts. The
young woman with me peered into the
door and expressed a desire to go in.
When Mr. Beckham is governor, and
you are Mrs. Beckham you may enter.'
said Father Edward with a faint smile.
The young woman who blushed then
was Jean Fuqua, now Jean Fuqua
Beckham. A man's ambition and a
woman's curiosity have now opened
the gates of the monastery to us both."
The governor's party consisted of 20
members.
The wife of ex-Gov. Proctor Knott was
the first woman ever to visit the mo
nastery. The ladies in the governor's
party today were admitted as part of
Mrs. Beckham's suite.

THE HEW TOBACCO COMPANY.
JAMES B. DUKE IS ELECTED PRESI
DENT.
The Big Ceyicern Formally Organized by
thp Election of Directors and Officers
Drafts Made on the Americrn and Con
tinental Tobacco Companies for the Lat
ter. New York, June 6. The Consolidat
ed Tobacco Company, incorporated in
New Jersey on Wednesday, was for
mally organized in this city today, by
the election of these directors: J. B.
Duke, Oliver H. Payne, Thomas F.
Ryan, J. B. Cobb, W. W. Fuller, Grant
B. Schley, Frank H. Ray, Anthony M.
Brady, C. C. Dula, P. A. B. Widener,
Percival S. Hill, B. N. Duke, and Chas.
E. Hollowell. The directors organized
by electing James B. Duke president;,
Thos. F. Ryan, first vice president; J.
B. Cobb, second vice president; C. C.
Dula, third vice presidnt; R. H. Har
ris, treasurer, and C. S. Kenne, secre
tary. The last named official is at
present in charge of the transportation
department of the American and Con
tinental Companies, and all the 'other
persons named are directors or offi
crs of the same corporations.
It was decided at the first meeting of
the directors to offer 4 per cent. 50-year
gold bonds of the company to the com
mon stockholders of the Amercian and
Continental Tobacco Companies, on the
basis of $1 in bond for each share of
stock. In the case of the Amercian
company, this offer is equal to $2 in
bonds for each dollar par value of its
stock, so that stock is of the par value
of $50 per share.
In addition, American Tobacco com
mon stockholders who accept this of
fer will receive Vz per cent, in cash ad
justment of the interest accuring on
their stock to August 1, on which date
the bonds of the consolidated company
begin to draw interest. A formal offer
ing of the bonds to the stockholders of
the American and Continental Tobac
co Companies will be made through a
stock company within a few days. All
of the stock deposited with the trust
company will at once be placed under
the trust indenture scuring the bonds,
as security for the same. The bonds
can only be issued to take up the two
classes of stock mentioned and for no
other purpose. At not time can the is-
) sue of bonds exceed the amount of
stock deposited. The bonds besides be
ing a lien upon the shares deposited
will also be a lien upon the $30,000,000
of the cash capital of the company and
and whatever property be acquired
with the same and also upon the earn
ings of the new company. An officer
of the company states that considera
bly more than a majority of the com
mon stock of the American and Conti
nental Companies has already been
pledged for exchange into the hands
of the consolidated company. This
same official made it clear that in the
consolidation the preferred shares of
the American and Continental Compa
nies are not disturbed.
By control of these concerns, the
Consolidated Company will also con
trol the American Cigar Company, 70
per cent, of the capital of that corpor
ation, being held by the Amercian and
Continental companies.

GERMANS KILLED AND EATEN,
THE FATE OF THE SOUTH SEA EX-
PEDITION.
The Party Taken Unaware by the Canni
bals and Twelye Men Killed.
Berlin, June6. The Tageblatt prints
a special correspondence from New
Guinea, containing a full account of
the massacre of the members of the
first German South Sea expedition, on
the Cannibal Islands of St. Mathias.
They were all killed and eaten, save
Dr. Heinroth.
The Colonial Zeitung, the official or
gan of the German Colonial Society,
furnishes details of the massacre. It
seems that the vessel which carried the
expedition to the island of St. Matthias
left, after a few days, for Herbertshoh,
New Britain, to get coal and fresh
supplies. During its absence the sav
ages, who had thitherto appeared
friendly, although known to be rabid
cannibals, planned to kill and rob the
diminished party.
The plot was carried out one morn
ing while the members of the expedi
tion, who had a body guard of 10
Papuans, were cleaning their rifles
which they had taken apart. Sudden
ly 80 of the islanders broke from the
bushes, raising fierce war cries and
brandishing spears with which they
stabbed to death the leader of the par
ty, Dr. Mencken, his secretary, Herr
Caro, and a white sailor, who was
asleep under a tent. Dr. Heinroth
emptied a revolver into his assailants
while the body guard in the meantime
retired to the boats with the wounded
and Dr. Heinroth, leaving twelve dead.
The boats put off to an island not far
distant, where the expeditionary ves
sel rescued them. Subsequently the
survivors returned to the island of St.
Matthias, where they found that the
bodies had been devoured and the
camp absolutely looted.
Shot Five Sefore Stopped by
Bullet.
Coleman, Mich., June 5. Will Ar
nell, proprietor of a hotel and saloon
in Beaverton, ran amuck today, and
before he was overpowered shot and
killed his 16-year-old daughter, fatal
ly wounded his wife, and shot his aged
mother, brother, and sister. No reason
can be assigned for the shooting.
When Arnell, who had been drink
ing for several days, entered the house
today, he went upstairs to where his
daughter was hiding from him under
a bed, and killed her. He then came
down and fatally shot his" wife, and
fired at his invalid mother, who was
sitting in her chair, shooting her
through the hand. Mrs. Samuel Dopp
and Arnell's sister were attracted by
the shooting and as they approached
Arnell walked out to street and open
ed fire on them, wounding his sister
slightly.
At this juncture Arnell's brother and
Mrs. Dopp's husband came on the
scene, and Arnell shot his brother
through the arm. Dopp was armed
with a shot gun and opened fire,
wounding Arnell, who was then cap
tured and taken to the county jail.
His wound is not fatal.
Tried to Steal His Children.
New York, June 6. Arhur Van Sick
len, a lawyer, and president of the
Commercial Mutual Life Insurance
Company, whose office is in Jersey
City, and who resides in Whitestone,
L. I., called at the police station In
Whitestone today and reported that an
attempt had been made to steal His two
children yesterday afternoon. The
children are George W. Van Sicken,
Jr., six years of age, and Edward Van
Sicklen, a little over one year old.
Mr. Van Sicklen said that his chil
dren were playing in front of his resi
dence yesterday afternoon when they
were approached by two well-dressed
women who offered them candy and
asked them if they would not like to
accompany them to New York. The
children became frightened and began
to cry. Just then a man approached
and the women went hastily down a
side street and hurried to a railroad
station where they caught a train for
New York.
Persons who were around the station
at the time and who noticed the wo
men, say they appeared to be greatly
excited.

PARDOXS RAISE A STORM
Honolulu Greatly Excited by
Bribery Inquiry Developments
Honolulu, May 28, via San Francisco,
June 5. Sensations that have deeply
stirred Honolulu have grown out of the
investigations of the grand jury sum
moned by Circuit Judge Humphrey to
investigate charges of bribery in the
legislature.
Last Saturday three of the best
known lawyers of Honolulu Gen. A.
S. Hartwell, W. A. Kinney, and S. M.
Ballou were sentenced to thirty day3
in jail for contempt of court by Judge
Humphreys, but before they reached
the prison all were released by pardon
by Acting Governor Cooper. The sen
tences were on account of an affidavit
which the attorneys attempted to read
and file in Humphreys' court to show,
on motion for a change of venue, the
judge's personal bias against Editor
Smith, of the Advertiser, who was in
dicted by the granq" jury for perjury.
In the storm raised by these pro
ceedings the grand jury's investigation
of the bribery charges have been lost
sight of, but he jury is still in ses
sion. The foundation for, the reports of
bribery in the legislature had suddenly
been revealed by Jacob Cooper, who
wanted a railroad, franchise. He is
the client whose name L. A. Thurs
ton refused' to reveal tothe grand jury.
Cooper swears - that "hjt was asked by
three different members of the house
to pay money iov their efforts in be
half of a bill to secure a franchise for
his railroad. He has been before the
grand jury and, it Is stated, has told
the jury the names of the three repre
sentatives who solicited bribes. The
report of the grand jury is awaited
with much interest. t
Good Old Red-tape.
London Tit-Bits.
A Somerset House "clerk entered the
private room of the head of his depart
ment to ask for a fortnight's holiday.
The official received him with his usu
al affability, and told him to hand
in his request in writing.
"Oh. I did not think that was neces
sary if I applied to you in person
said the clerk. -
Oh, yes; in fact it is indispensa
ble." "Then I wil go back to the office."
"No need to do that; see, here are
pens, ink, and paper, sit down and
write."
The clerk obeyed: The petition was
written out, signed, and folded.
"Now," said the functionary, "you
have only to present It."
"To whom?"
"To me, of course!" And, taking:
the petition, he wiped his glasses, care
fully adjusted them, read the docu
ment from beginning to end, placed it
oh a file along with a number of simi
lar applications, and then remarked .
with the utmost gravity: "I have read
your petititon, and regret exceedingly
that I atn; compelled to inform yon
that I cannot accede to your request-"
. imagine the feelings of the poor
.clerk! -
