A CRIME FEE EEVENCE
The Apparent Motive In the Fearful
North Adams Tragedy.
MUCH MYSTERYIN THE CASE
The Officials Baffled In Their Efforts to
Discover the Identity ’0! ' the Perpe-
trators of the Cold Blooded Butch-
cry—Like the Borden Murders.
North Adams, Mass, Aug. 9.——The
appalling and mysterious double trage-
dy which startled this,city yesterday,
and which. for cold blooded brutality
stands without a parallel in the crim-
inal history of this city, is as yet un-
solved; and the authorities of three
states are now actively at work on the
case.
The mutilated bodies of Henry J.
Reed, a money lender, widely known
throughout this section, and his sister,
Blanche M. Reed, were found at their
home off Webster avenue, in the center
of the city. Both had been murdered
during the night. It was at first thought
that robbery was the motive of the
tragedy, but it is now supposed that
the real motive was revenge. From a.
careful examination of the bodies it is
believed that Reed died from blows on
the head? inflicted by a wooden mallet,
which was found covered with blood.
The woman had been shot.
Whoever the assassins were they en-
tered Reed’s house evidently with the
single purpose of murdering the money
lender. They did not come for plundei‘,
for watches by the dozen and valuable
pieces of silver and scores of gold chains
and other pieces of jewelry in plain
. View were left uhtouched.
Like the Borden Murders.
Andrew Borden’s murderers did not
rain the blows .on his unprotected head
with any more insane furythan did the
slayer of Henry Reed. There is some-
thing analagous in the grim determina-
tion to kill in both of these repelling
tragedies.
Henry Reed had some business rela-
tions ‘with some person obviously, and
worked an injury arousing a deep seat-
ed spirit of revenge so malignant that
the party injured was incited to the
atrocious crime. He and his compan-
ion wanted Reed’s life and took it.
But just as in many other cases, there
may have been an innocent victim in
this instance, Blanche M. Reed, the sis-
ter. The assailant of the brother may
have been forced to kill her when she
was aroused by the noise downstairs.
Yet she was partner in the pawnbrok-
ing, for many of the mortgages were
taken up in her name.
The building in which the_.coup1e liv-
ed is a low, old fashioned wooden house,
with four rooms on the ground floor.
The house is situated in a. small lane
leading off Webster avenue. Reed was
about 45 years old and for: years had
conducted an extensive loan and mort-
gage business. The majority of his
transactions were small, but he made
money and owned real and personal
property worth probably $20,000 in all.
Personally he was far from popular
and had many enemies, mostly among
the unfortunate farmers, whothought
they had been charged an extortionate
rate of interest in their transactions
with him. The house contained mer—
chandise of various descriptions, which
he had taken as collateraL Reed’s
bedroom was on the lower floor and is
situated back of the large kitchen and
room where the pawnbroker transacted
his business. Miss Reed, who was
about five years older than her broth-
er, kept house and was the only other
occupant. Her sleeping room was on
the upper floor near the head of the
staircase.
No Trace of the Assassins.
The tragedy was discovered about
A. W.
Finney, a citizen, knocked at-the front
door, but received no answer. ‘In pass—
ing the front window he noticed the in-
terior, as far as he could see, presented
a very unusual appearance. Chairs
were overturned, and many articles
were scattered about the floor in con-
fusion.
He had no trouble in entering the
place, but when once inside the sight
he saw overcome him for an instant.
The bed in Reed’s room , Is dyed in
blood and partially covered by the
clothes, whichwere in a heap, was the
battered body of a. man and one leg,
which hung on the side. There was no
doubt that the body was that of Reed,
although the face was unrecognizable.
Mr. Finney quickly gave the alarm and
the news spread rapidly.
The body of the woman was partly in
her room up stairs and partly outside»
of the door. It was disfigured, but not
nearly so much as that of her brother.
A wooden mallet, blo'od stained and
spattered, was picked up from the floor
near the door of Reed’s room, and it was
at once apparent that the fearful
marks and bruises on his face had been
made by it.
As to the perpetrators, they left noth
ing to identify them. A neighbor, a
woman, saw their covered carriage
drive away from the Reed house, and
she says there were two ‘men in it. Sev-
eral men who have had dealings with
the usurer have been seen by the po-
lice, but they can offer nothing.
No one knows anything about the
dead man’s papers, and so whatever
hint might be given from them is not
within the grasp of the police. Not one
of the shady characters of the town is
missing.
Newspaper Men In Trouble.
San Francisco, Aug. 9.—A. M. Law-
rence and T. T. Williams, managing ed-p
itor and business manager respectively
of The Examiner, were yesterday or-
dered committed to the county jail by
Notary L. D.,Craig for refusing 'to an-
swer certain questions in connection
with the case recently instituted against
(them and W. R. Hearst by Claus
Spreckels. Among the questions Which
the newspaper men refused to answer
was one as to the identity of the author
of the article upon which the libel suit
in controversy is based. Another was
as to whether or not Williams held a
power of- attorney for W. R. Hearst;
: Bicycle Tax Dodgers. _
St. Louis, Aug. 9.—Only 12 out of the
20, 000 bicycle riders in St. Louis have
paid the tax of $1 per year. Beginning
tomorrow all dodgers of the bicycle tax
will be. arrested and locked up until the
tax is paid, in addition to a fine that
will be assessed.

urinate and lost a great deal of sleep.
I tried medicines and plasters but they
would not cure me. I saw Doan’ 3 Kid-
ney Pills advertised and I got a box at
Hale’s. They were just the thing for
my trouble. I haVe every reason to
think that they are just what the man-

Her Feathers Rumpled In the Hawaii
Case to Be Smoothed.
OUR REPLY TO HER PROTEST.
Secretary Sherman Will Make It Brief
and Friendly In Tone—Uncle Sam’s
Pension Roll Hus Almost Beach-
ed the Million Mark.
Washington, Aug. 9.—It is understood
that the reply of Secretary Sherman
to the last Japanese protest against the
annexation of Hawaii will be brief by
comparison with the long letters that
have gone before, but will be concilia-
tory in tone. This is accounted for by
the fact that the state department has
taken note of the published utterances
3f eminent Japanese statesmen, which,
‘while unofficial, are still of undoubted
authenticity, all going to show that Ja-
pan has herself no designs upon the
islands, but seeks only to conserve her
treaty rights.
However, the basic tone of the note
in this point will be the declaration by ‘
Secretar Foster, when he submitted to
President Harrison the original treaty
of annexation in 1893, which failed, ow-
ing mainly to the immediate change of
administration. This statement was
that according to a. recognized principle
of international law the obligations of
treaties, even when some of their stip-
ulations are in terms perpetual, expire
in case either of the contesting parties
loses its existence as an independent
state.
The foreign treaties of the Hawaiian
Islands, therefore, terminate upon an-
nexation, with the competence of the
government thereof to hold diplomatic
relations. This argument is to meet
the Japanese objection that they will
by annexation lose certain privileges
for Japanese subject
enjoy under treaty w h Hawaii.
The circumstances under which Mad-
agascar passed under French control
may be cited to support our position in
this connection, and it can be shown
that by the enforced termination of our
treaty with the Madagascar govern—
ment the United States, whichoat the
time had a. paramount trade interest in
Madagascar, suffered the loss of most
favorable tariff rates upon our exports
to that island.
The second Japanese objection, that
annexation would disturb the balance
of power in the Pacific, will be met by
an elaboration of the argument that the
Hawaiian Islands have for So long a
period. been under the influence of the
United States and have by tradition be-
come so closely affiliated with the re-
public that no sensible change in poli-
cies or actualities of government may
be expected to result from a legal merg-
ing of the islands into the United
States.
The Production 'of Gold.
Mr. Preston, the director of the mint,
estimates the gold production of the
.world for 1896 to have been $205,000,000,
of which sum the United States con-
tributed over $53,000,000. For 1897 it is
believed the world’s gold product will
reach at least $240, 000, 000, an increase of
$35, 000, 000 over 1896. Mr. Preston says.
“As an indication of the increase in
the world’s gold product for 1897 the
following table, showing the product of
the United States, Australia, South
Africa, Russia, Mexico, British India
and Canada for 1896 and the probable
output of these countries for 1897, is
given:
1896. 1897.
“United States. . . $53,000,000 $60,000,000
Australia 46,250,000 52,550,000
South Africa. . . . . 44,000,000 56,000,000

Canada ......... . 2,800,000 10,000,000
Totals . . .. . . . . .$180,S50,000 $219,550,000
“That the world’s gold product will
continue to increase for a number'of
years to come is self evident, as new
mines will be opened up in all parts of
the world, and with the improved ap-
pliances and methods for extracting the
gold contained in the ores it is believed
that by the close of the present century
the world’s gold product will exceed
$300,000,000.” , '
Our Pension Roll.
The pension roll of the United‘States
has almost reached the million mark.
Commissioner Evans has just issued a
statement showing that at the begin-
ning of . the fiscal year the pensioners
numbered just 983,528, an increase of
12,850 for the past year. During that
year 50,101 new pensions were granted
and 3,971 persons were restored to the
rolls. Old age and disease, however, is
working great inroads into the lists,
for there were 31,900 deaths during the
year. Other sources of loss were 1,074
from remarriage of widoWs, 1,845 or-
phans attained majority, 2,683 failures
to claim pensions'and 3,560 losses from
unrecorded causes.
Assistant Secretary of the NavyTheo-
dore Roosevelt, in his report to Secre-
tary Long on the condition and effi-
ciency of the naval militia, which he
recently inspected. expresses himself as,
greatly impressed by the progress that
has been .made toward a proper stand-
ard of efficiency and bestows high
praise on the body as a whole. He ends
his lengthy report in these words:
“In conclusion, I would like to call at-
tention to the fact that in most of the
organizations there is urgent need for
more liberal appropriations by the state
authorities. Unless the general govern-
ment is aided by the state it makes it
very difficuit to bring the organization
up to the proper point of efficiency. The
department has but $50,000 to spend,
and there are already 15 organizations
among which this has to be divided.”
