The Blyth Standard, 1908-01-02, Page 2PUBLIC BEHEADAL, MRS, GOOLD EXERCISES ANCIENT RIGHT OF MONTE CARLO. She Wants to be Guillotined in the Plaza—Sentence, if Thus Carried Out, Would be in Front of Casino— Ruler in Consternation, Monte Carlo, Dec, 30.— hate. Vere Goold has produced consternation in the principality of Monaco by exercising at ancient right of a condemned person and demanding that she be executed in the Plaza, which is the flower and tree de. 'oorated space in frout of the Casino at Monte Carlo. Ever elnee the trial of the Goolde for the murdereot klmna Levin the Prince of Monaco has dreaded some such possi- bility as this: The persistent policy of the ruler has been to keep away, LO cov- er up anything that alight frighten the nervobs sensibilities of the patrons of the gambling establishments, If it had been possible the trial would have been quashed and the prisoners secretly put away. The idea of an execution in Monte Carlo was horrifying enough—oven if it could be conducted in private—and now this woman demands to be killed in public and that the guillotine be set up in front of the Palace of Chance. Both she and her husband have ap- pealed against their sentences—his that of hard labor for life and hers that of the headsman—and in view of the wo- man's plea for a final public appearance it is -quite possible the appeal will be granted.., Meanwhile the Goulds are locked up in the Monaco prison. Goold has sent a farewell message to his friends in Ireland and England, and will be shipped to Cayenne, F-rencIi Guiana, if the sentence be carried out. He has also sent loving messages to the cell of his wife, but she refuses to rend them and declares that ahe \vents nothing more to do with "that lacy `drunkard:" Mme. Goold is defiant in everything, l"1 will go to the executioner," she has -said, "with my head high. All -the wo- men want to see me on my knees, but they won't," YOUNG WOMAN'S SUICIDE.

Canadian Improvement Co. Seeking an Injunction, New York, ••Doe. 30, --The application of Charles lee* le -and John 1, Tem jun., of N it, representing the ;Qana.diau GIp eat Company, for anuutttt#lt tit the holders of the k of the Lake Superior Coi- tion from voting en that stock, eagle before Vice -Chancellor Garrison in Jefsey City to -day. The Canadian nuprovelnent Company was organized to finance the Lako Su- perior Corporation, which has industries' at Sault Ste. Marie and a railroad in Canada. Both companies are incorpor- ated in New Jersey. The Canadian Im- provement Company holds $12,000,000 worth of the stock of the Lake Superior Corporation. The Government of the Province of Ontario loaned $1,000,000 to the Lake Superior Corporation. The As. sociated Bank of Philadelphia and Kuhn, Loeb & Company, of New York, are holders of 60,174 shares of the stock of the Lake Superior Corporation. It to asserted that an agreement with Messrs. Orvs and Terry gave the bank. era and other holders of pledged stock the right to vote at the annual meeting of the Lake,Supe'ior Corporation in October last, They were prevented from voting, however, by legal proceed- ings. The Fidelity Trust Company,_ of Philadelphia, is the largest holder, hav- ing $400,000 worth of the stock. Kuhn, Loeb 0 Company hold $225,000 worth of the stock. The issue is on the con- struction of nn agreement for the ex- tension of time 00 notes which natured hast spring. The plaintiffs say that the right to vete on the pledged stock was not given. Argument was continued until late, when an adjournment was taken until Jan. 0. It was agreed that the meeting of the Lake Superior Corporation should be adjourned from Jan, 7 until Jan. 21. MEDICAL SCHOOL. M'MASTER UNIVERSITY SAID TO BE PLANNING FOR ONE. Reported That It is Looking to Rocke- feller for $a,000,000— Chancellor McKay Refuses to Deny Story—Says Nothing for Public Yet. Toronto despatch: Will McMaster Uni- versity establish a medical department? And is it negotiating with Mr, John D. Rockefeller to secure $2,000,000 to aid in the purpose? 'These questions arise out of rumors which are abroad in the city, and for which, while the Globe can secure no confirmation, no, denial can be had. Asked as to the matter, Mr. 1). E, Thompson, K. C., a prominent Bap- tist, said that he knew nothing about the matter, but that lie had been too busy lately to attend any meetings of the Governors of the institution. Ghan- cellor A. 0, McKay refused to deny the story, but thought that there was noth- ing of public interest in it. At the convention of the Baptists of Quebec and Ontario, held in Woodstock, the establishing of a medical faculty was brought up. One of the chief difficul- ties then thought to be to the way was the money end of the proposal. It was objected that should the making of a medical department beeone a charge on the endowment it would be undesirable. In the course of his report, delivered at the celebration of the 50th anniver- sary of Woodstock College, Chancellor llcliny declared that the University Senate must soon consider the question of adding a faculty of medicine to the present equipment "Oar work is to develop men," said the Chancellor• e1''e must not confine it necessarily to any one branch of training. If each year the could bring under our influence a large number 61 students preparing for the medical profession, it would evident- ly he our duty to undertake the obliga- tions involved, provided that this might be done without the possibility of its becoming n charge upon our endow- ment." In view of this statement, and of the fact that the university hes already been assisted by lir. Itockefeller's donations, some credence is placed in the rumor that the Board of Governors is negotiat- ing with the famous Baptist millionaire. No definite figures are spoken of, but $2,000,000 is the figure at which the sup- posed intended donation is placed. Mr. Itockefeller is the lending member of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, Cleveland, of which Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton, formerly of Toronto, is pastor.

MR. TARTE'S WILL, Parting Advice to His Sons on Conduct- ing La Petrie. Montreal, Dec. 30.—When the late Hon. Mr. Tarte went to Paris four years ago to have a surgical operation performed he wrote a part of his last testament, addressed to his sons. It is uow made public, and is rather pathetic in its portrayal of the clharauter of the dead statesman. It show's hint in the dein character of a French-Canadian and British subject, loyal to both traditions. In substance the little document reads: "You have a paper. See that it wounds no one's, feelings and blackens no one's reputation. Do not quarrel with the clergy. Remain French and Catholic, end loyal to Queen and empire. Dis- charge your duties as good citizens." -e MURDERED WITH AN AXE, Brutal Crime Discovered Near Gretna, Manitoba. Gretna, Man., Dee, 30. --Fred.

He Forced Two Emerson Citizens Over the. Line—They Now Propose to Extradite the Officer—An Interna- tional Question. Winnipeg, Dec, a0. --An information wile laid this afternoon in the Attorney - General's Department against George Foulke, an officer of the Secret Service Department of the United States Trea- sury, on the charge of kidnapping Isaaac Casson and Albert Tolton, two citizens of Emerson The alleged crime was com- mitted on Dec. 3rd. It appears that the two men who were kidnapped were driv- ing east along the international avenue at Emerson, which is very close to the boundary lite between the United States and Canada. Just across the railway track n stranger rushed out of the watch house and seized their horse by the bridle. In reply to the, stranger's questions they told them their named. The stranger was Foulke, and he at once informed `them that lie was an offi- cer of tine Secret Service Department at Washington, and that he wanted then to get out of the rig and go with him across the line to Noyes. Both refused to go, saying they were British subjects and declined to consider themselves uq- der arrest. Tliey wanted to drive their horse ahead, but Foulke threatened to shoot the animal if they did so. He then appointed Robert Reseal, a signal man on the railway, a special constable, and ordered hint to assist in the arrest, In rather strong language Reseal refused, on the ground that he was a British sub- ject, and that the officer had no power on this side of the line. Foulke declared that he was on neu- trul ground, and a struggle occurred be. tween the men, but neither of then could be induced to leave the rig. Foulke then bucked the horse, and by a quick movcseeured the reins, and, striking the horse a smart blow, he had the rig across the international boundary in an instant. There Ole two men were placed under arrest and taken to Noyes station. On arriving at the station Gascon and Piot- ton were compelled to sign a paper 'in, ordered to be reileased'and allowed to re-, turn to Canada, The reason given for their arrest was that it was desired to implicate thein with others in the charge of smuggling grain into the United States. The pa- pers were signed, they claim, were un- true, and they signed them under pro- test in order to be allowed to return home, D. Forrester, lawyer, of Emerson, has the case in hand, and a claim is being made on the Treasury Department of the United States, for the sum of $5,000 for the arrest of each of the two men kidnapped. Already n prominent official of the department has been to see Mr. Forrester to have the natter kept quiet, but he has placed it in the hands of tho Secretary of State at Ottawa and the British Ambassador at Washington. To -day he is in trite city to lay a charge before the Department of the Attorney - General, and to have extradition pro- ceedings instituted against Foulke to have him brought back to this side of the line for trial on a charge of kidnap- ping. , ANOTHER COBALT VICTIM.
