SEVEN PERSONS ARRESTED CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY PROPERTY. An Iowa Insurance Company Is Run- ning Down the Band, and Officers Expect to Make More Impor- tant Arrests Soon. From a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. MACON, Mo., Mey 6.—Six men and one Woman are charged with direct complicity in the recent series of fires in southern Macon County, with the object of swind- ling the insurance companies At least half a dozen others are under Buspicion and may be arrested if the evi- dence now being collected by the authori- tices is found to warrant it. The list its said to include some of the most promi- nent men in Macon County. There appears to be no doubt of the ex- istence of a’ conspiracy. The fires, which followed each other in quick succession, wore of the same general character and all showed evidences of ineendiarism. ‘In adlition. confessions have been ob- tained from three members of the alleged gang. which corroborate each other In every detail. Joseph Heifner, agent Insurance Co., who has ‘taken an active rt in running down the gang, estimates hat their depredations have cost the in- surance companies $40,000. They have so terrorized the neighborhood of Ardmore, a coal mining town in the southern part of the county, that the hon est farmers dare not appear against the or even refuse to sign their bonds, for f of the Iowa State _ « ,% , , - | , LA a ee JOSEPH HEIFNER. their own barns, haystacks or even homes may be reduced to ashes. ® amount which they have cost the neighborhood in canceled insurance poli- cles is incalculable. Practically all of the companies have retired from the field in that locality. cullar and almost luiconceitvable piece ay which is laid at the door of the gang is the burning of ten schoolhouses for wang, although there is no direct proof con- necting them with it, is the burning of ten achoolhouses for no other reason than dis- Satisfaction with the locations selected by the schoo) directors.

A bit of new evidence on the Gipson mat- ter was secured yesterday morning, when Ed Turner, who has spent 20 years in de- tective work in this locality, arrested “Buck’’ Wallace, a coal miner, charged with stealing a horse from James Lannan, on the night before the Gipson fire. The horse, together with another which Gipson bought for $1.50, is supposed to have been in the burned barn, instead of the fine team, a black and a bay, which had been insured, and for which the adjustor paid $100 loss. Officers are now tracing the biack and bay, which are thought to be in Okla- homa On March the barn and residence of John Province on the Summers farm, three miles sou of Ardmore, were burned. The contents of the barn were insured for $1W0 ond an immdiate claim was put in for the oss. It was found that Province had iven young Leary Summers, son of Mrs. M. G. ummers, who owns the farm, authoriiy to adjust his claim. Summers is the nephew of Grant Gipson, and when the officers came to investigate the fire, they found nearly all of the personal property which was alleged to have been destroyed stored at the Summers home on the same farm. ry Summers, who looks like a smart farmer boy, and has the reputation among the miners of Ardmore of being somewhat “‘tough,”"’ was at Macon at the time of this discovery, awaiting trial on a charge of grand larceny. it being alleged that he had stolen $65 from a saloonkeeper at Ard- more. He had made all preparations to fight the larceny charge. but when informed of the discovery of the goods, with the ad- o_o 4 4 0 © ¢ © ¢ # @- 4 D | * DEPUTY SHERIFF ED C.

One Man May Tell the Story. Sheriff Gilistrap will take him to Jefferson City this week. In the meanwhile Milton Summers, a re- lative of Leary, and W. D. Donovan, a coal miner, had been arrested. Summers ifs still in jail, but Donovan is out on bai! and will turn state's evidence.

Sworn to Stand by Each Other, “‘A member of the gang told me that it included 15 or 20 members, who were sworn to stand by each other. Their plan was to get the Insurance agent and adjuster on the ground after the fire, and if they re- fused to pay the claim, force them to do s0 at the point of revolvers. “The gang’s purpose was to extend its operations by degrees. After each fire, new property was to be bought and pre- pared for incineration. The buildings were for the most part old, dilapidated struc- tures, worth little, but when the insurance was written it was customary to store the barns with fine machinery, stock and grain, which the insurance agent readily accepted at a good valuation. “Refore the match was applied, however, this machinery, stock and sometimes even the grain was replaced by inferior stuff, bought for almost nothing, but the debris from which would look as good as any other. “We ? ession from one of the sre ha to the Province house.

After the ministers had been presented, the party passed down a quarter of a mile of carpeted pier and entered carriages sur- founded by a guard of honor composed of Victorian troops just retuhned from South Africa and proceeded a distance of seven miles through brilliantly decorated streets bordered with almost continuous lines of stands filled to their utmost capacity. The entire route was lined with demon- strative crowds and the decorations, arches, venetian masts and columns along the'‘line of march were very effective.

The grangers, Pa- cifics, Trunk lines and Southwesterns were all notably affected, and there were strik- ing gains in the southern group and amongst the leading industrials.

Mr. Stevens came on from Washington in order to consult with the leaders of the World's Fair movement before arriving at a decision. He was closeted with President Francis and Treasurer Thompson Monday morn- ing, and at the conclusion of the confer- ence said: “I have decided to accept the position and will take charge at once. I am deep- ly sensible of the honor which has been conferred upon me, and will give the Fair the best I have. “It will be necessary to begin at the bottom with the work of organization and there is no time to be lost.”’ Mr. Stevens said he had not yet decided where his headquarters would be, but a location will be chosen at once. He called upon James Cox, the temporary secretary, sfonday. and secured an idea of the amount of correspondence, plans and applications he would have to assume charge of, after which he requested Mr. Cox to hold this matter until it should be sent for. Mr. Cox said it would require a week or more to transfer the records of the office. William H. Thompeon, treasurer of ihe Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co., said the salary of the secretary had not yet been fixed. Mr. Thompson also stated that the pro- ceedings of the committee on organization, which is holding meetings daily, would not be made public until the next spooting: of the board of directors, Wednesday after noon, when a reper’ will be submitted. It is expected that this meeting will serve to complete the organization, and tne ground will be cleared for active progress all along the Iine.

While the car was waiting at Forest Park Station for the return trip, Conductor Sim- mons noticed that Bhe was in a comatose condition. After attempting vainly to arouse her, he summoned Patrolman Davis of the Mounted District, who took her to the Forest Park Sub-Station. Dr. R. H. Flader of 1410 Old Manchester road was calied and applied the stomach siphon.

At the City Hospital she was registered by the name of Scott, but she changed her address from 924 South Fourteenth street to 944 Chouteau avenue. She said she be- came despondent because a young man, with whom she was in love, had declined to have anything more to do with her. According to her story. she met a friend that accompanied her to the Dispensary shortly after she had taken the drug and told her what she had done. The friend depicted the horrors gf death by poison so vividly that: Mazie wae seized with a de- sire to live and so expressed herself. Her friend took her by the hand and dragged her as fast as they could run to the Dis- pensary. It was a race between life and death and life won. The run had not on- ly. taken Mazie to the hospital in time to receive treatment, but it had also revived her. When her stomach had been siphoned, she was taken to the Dispensary.

DEEDS, LEASES AND OPTIONS —— MORE WELLS GOING DOWN IN THE DISTRICT. Everybody Busy Buying Oil Lands and Getting on the Inside of Good Deals in the New Texas Industry. Special tq the Post-Dispatch. BEAUMONT, May 6.—If there has been any abatement of interest in the oil situa- tion here it is not apparent on the surface. There is certainly no diminution in the size of the crowds that every railroad train is pouring into the city; excitement around the oil centers continues just as tense and bargains in oil lands are as eagerly snapped up as at any time since the first gusher began to spout up its hidden wealth. Each day shows an increase over the for- mer in the number of deeds, leases and op- tions filed for record in the county clerk’s office, while another strong indication that the boom is not subsiding is the fact that each day shows a heavier receipt of mail matter at the local office and heavier maliis being dispatched. It is quite probable that exgitement has given way, in a measure, to more conserv- ative business methods, but there are many who do not believe the boom has yet reached the limit. There have been no very recent developments in the fields al- ready being explored and no new territory opened up, but owners are getting nearer and nearer every day to the oil in a large number of wells and the closer they get the grater becomes the interest manifested, in the meanwhile the town is kept busy try- ing to take care of the crowds that come here to see things and get into good deals. Only One Well Failed to Produce. There are now ten producing wells and fully a hundred more drilling in this coun- ty. Of all the wells that have reached the supposed depth of oil only one has failed to produce, and this was not because the well was dry, but because it was improperly explored as is evidenced by the. fact that the owner is going to drill within a few feet of where the first work was done. Messrs. Guffey and Galey are making good progress putting in storage tanks, pumps and pipe lines to their storage sta- tions 14 miles below the oil field. This firm is also running a pipe line from the storage station to Port Arthur, eight miles distant, where the product will be loaded on vessels for shipment. The Heywood Oll Co. is making preparations to put In ex- tensive equipment in the way of tank cars, pump and storage tanks for marketing their oil Well owners are considerably retarded in their operations by the scarcity of expert drillers. So great is the demand for this class of labor that the pfice for drilling has advanced to $8 per foot. Up to date there are ten companies listed on the Beaumont Ol] Stock Exchange. These are the Beaumont Petroleum and Gas Co., the Higgins Oll and Fuel Co., the Keith-Ward Co., the Glover-Anderson Co., Heywood Oil Co., Manhattan Oil Co., Beau- mont Oil Co., Acme Otl and Fuel Co., Tex- as and New Orleans Oil Co. and Seaboard OU Co. Thus .far trading in stocks has been rather inactive. Everybody seems to be busy acquiring oil lands and getting on the inside of good deals and members are taking very little interest in ‘the workings of the exchange. A great deal of interest centers in the new oll wells at Sulphur, La., 4 miles east of Beaumont, and this interest is intensi- fled by the fact that the Standard Oil Co. controls thousands of acres of contiguous territory. The wells are on the c rty ot the Union Sulphur Co. and the Union Sul- hur Co. is conceded to be control by the Standard Oll Co.

It Is claimed that the wells have been in for some time, but that information on this point was suppressed in order to enable the acquirement of more territory as is evidenced by the recent pur- chase. Just how the oll leaks out and with it the knowledge of the wells’ existence. is not uninteresting. One of a party of Strangers while examining these wells hap- pened, by accident, to find the valves which controlled the flow. He opened the valves and to his astonishment oil came up with terrific force. The discovery of a well 42 miles eastward of Beaumont is taken as proof positive that the oil field underlies a large section of country. What these oii finds mean for this section is beyond com- putation. o—o—_—_-—_+__9—-#.- 0000-9 t DAYTON STREET } + POLICE COURT > o—o—__0—__—_o—__0__o-- o_o —__0_ 6 _0_0-— Legori Marsini, bad five minutes Street and Lucas a peacemaker, spent a Sunday at Fourteenth avenue when he was knocked down and out by Mrs. Annie James of Second and Gratiot streets. Mrs. James, with her husband, Daniel, was out riding in a buggy with a colored man named Ed Butler, the trio all oceupy- ing one seat. They were all drunk and hilarious—drunk in the positive and hilarious in the com- parative degree. At Fourteenth and Lucas they became naughty in the superlative. A pedestrian foolishly informed the trium- virate they were drunk (as if they didn't know it), and they became angry. . Es- pecially did. Mr, Butler, who razor and demanded gore—anybody’s, just so it was gore. Butler mixed with the unidentified pedes- trian, who proved a mere amateur at the business, and could give Butler no run for his money. So Mr. Butler turned on his friend, Mr. James, and, observing it was a pity to put up his razor without using it, made a swipe at him. At this stage of the game Signor Mar- sini committed the fatal error of inter- fering ‘and got a punch in the ear from Mrs. James and had 10 counted on him. Mrs. James was arrested and fined $10. John Klass was another Sunday peace- maker who will never permit it to become chronic with him. It was at Blair avenue and Mullanphy street that Klass saw his friend, Albert Blanke, a Southern Hotél bellboy, in a pugilistic encounter with several young fellows. Klass tried to stop the row, but Blanke was feeling his oats and said he felt equal to a dozen men. He requested his antago- nist to bring his friends and tell them all to bring their frieuds and telegraph the news and tell their friends to come, so they could make things interesting for him. Otherwise he wouldn't even perspire. Klass told Blanke to be careful, and Blanke told Klass to go soak his head. Then somebody kicked Blanke in the face, while Klass offered Blanke suggestions for the conduct of the fight. Blanke was knocked out, and Klass remarked: “I told vou soa. Then Blanke and Klass mixed, while the others. disappeared. The police arrested Blanke and Klass, but Judge Wislizenus discharged them.

Frank Wells, a young negro who is hearged with beating and robbing an aged woman at Normandy, St. Louis County, Sunday afternoon, owes his escape from lynching to the fact that his elder brother, Joe, recently had smallpox. the Suburban tracks and turned in a police call. Meanwhile the mob was at a loss for a plan of action. “The negro was inside, but there was also another negro with smull- pox. What was to be done? Some of the armed men moved a little farther from the house. | Presently Sergeant Powers and Patrolman O'Meara of the Mounted District arrived. After a brief parley with the white men, they entered the house and arrested Frank Wells, who had been in bed in a rear room. The prisoner was quite willing to be arrested, being thoroughly frightened. As he passed out between the lines of the armed men, he trembled with fear. Joe Wells, the negro on whose face the pock marks stone with such deterrent ef- fect. was taken to the pest house several weeks ago and had been discharged as cured. There was no danger of infection from him, but the mob didn't know that. Wells’ mother says he was not out of the house during the afternoon. HUSBAND WAS INDIFFERENT.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, May 6.—Seven persons were burned to death, three fatally injured and several others suffered burns or other in- juries in a fire that destroyed a three-story apartment building at 9316 Marquette ave- nue, South Chicago. A long freight train, motionless on the Lake Shore tracks at the Ninety-third Street crossing, cut off four fine engines, an ambulance and a patrol wagon from the scene of horror. The train crew insolently ignored the pleas and orders of the firemen to pull out. “Get the train off the crossing or un- testants were [Leo Foster, Leo Huelsman, ort ge on and P. G.

The deal was made in New York, where Mr. Wade met Dr. Lawrence. the father- in-law of Henry Siegrist and the grandfath- er of little Vera Lawrence Siegrist, who heid the title to the property. The McCormick- Kilgen-Rule Co. is his agent. Real estate men say Mr. Campbell at- ter-pted to negotiate a trade with Dr. Lawrence, involving the present Campbell home on Grand avenue, but that the doctor declined to consider anything but a cash proposition. It is also said that Mr. Campbell con- templates the erection of a World's Fair hotel on the site of his present residence and that other similar institutions are be- ing planned for the same neighborhood.

The appeal is reasonable and will be heeded by fair-minded citizens. The house will be judged by its acts. It will stand or fall by the test of public sptrit and honest service. The first test of the temper of the House is the free park site bill now pending, which received a unanimous vote in the Council and is overwhelmingly approved by the people. The men in charge of the World’s Fair interests want the right to select a park as the site of the World’s Fair. The privilege of using a park will be valuable to the Exposition It may be necessary to the choice of the best site and may save the Exposition company a large sum of inoney, which will be utilized to increase the attractions of the Fair. St. Louts is responsible for the World's Fair. The city must bear the discredit that would attach to failure and will reup the credit of success. The city and the citizens of St. Louis have invested $10,000,000 in the Fair. The Exposition interests are St. Louis’ interests and ought to be promoted in every possible way. What will the House of Delegates do with the measure? Will it treat it in the old House of Delegates fashion as a means. of bargaining for advantage, or will it act in harmony with the spirit of the people of St. Louis and serve the public interest? It is a question of deep import to St. Louis. It is also a question of exceptional significance to the members of the Hoitse ) We indulge the hope that the House of Delegates will meet the first test in a spirit that will confuse those who predict digaster for public interests from the policy of the House, and will gratify good citizens. The House is on trial. Every stroke brought blood when a white criminal was flogged publicly in Delaware last week, and there was “a big outpour.ng of the people” to see the horrible exhibition The man was “game,” and no doubt the crowd enjoyed the show. It is p.easing to read that the Delaware people find such things to be. good, and that their argumenis are con- yvincing. ~ a -——_ = - SS > Mr. Krueger, whose stomach has been removed, admits that he feels “an awful goneness.’ This feeling of vacancy, how- ever, must be much less troublesome than a diseased organ.

Members of the House of Delegates have protested against Remit by Money-Order, Draft pan in Registered Letter. a prejudiced Judgment on the character of that’ body and Wddress 411 communications and complaints of iinperfect service have appealed for a fair verdict on its acts. POST-DISPATOH, St. Louls The appeal is reasonable and will be heeded by fair-minded citizens. The house will be judged by its acts. It will stand or fall by the test of public spirit and honest service. The first test of the temper of the House is the free park site bill now pending, which received a unanimous vote in the Council and-is overwhelmingly approved by the people. The men in charge of the World’s Fair interests want the right to select a park ag the site of the World’s Fair. The privilege of using a park will be valuable to the Exposition ‘in several ways. ‘It may be necessary to the choice of the best site and may save the Exposition company a large sum of inoney, which will be utilized to increase the attractions of the Fair. St. Louls is responsible for the World's Fair. must bear the discredit that would attach to failure and will reup the credit of success. The city and the citizens of St. Louis have invested $10,000,000 in the Fair. The Exposition interests are St. Louis’ interests and ought to be promoted in every possible way. What will the House of Delegates do with the measure? Will it treat it im the old House of Delegates fashion as a means. of bargaining for advantage, or will it act in harmony witi. the spirit of the people of St. Louis and serve the public interest? It is a question of deep import to St. Louis. It is also a question of exceptional significance to the members of the Hoitse We indulge the hope that the House of Delegates will meet the first test in a spirit that will confuse those who predict digaster for public interests from the policy of the House, and will gratify good citiZens.

The Fil- ipino wants his drinks and food at the same temperature as the atmosphere. They are uncomfortable when they are colder. He has the healthiest stomach in the world, and I think the absénce of ice from his diet and drinks its largely. responsible for this con- dition. But he is fast learning the habits of his Americar conquerors, and, among them. is the love for ice. Cold beverages are gradually becoming popular with him even though they make him uncomfortable. The climate is really unfavorable for cold drinks or food. Nature, when she kept our little brown brother so long in ignorance of ice, knew what she was doing. She was protecting his health and making him com- fortable in his hot climate.

In inland cities of the country, the oyster is losing its popularity as a food, and this is particularly true in St. Louis. I account for this condition by the fact that oyster eaters are travelers and, sometime, in their ramblings, visit coast cities. After they eat oysters there, their fondness for the inland brand be- comes conspicuous by its absence. The sea- coast cooks know more about the prepar- ation of oysters for the table than inland range monarchs.

It will return to St. Louis June 3 and open up with New York. The recent inglorious attempts of the local band to prove that they can play baseball send a-glimmering the hope that it might accomplish something on its present trip. Cincinnati, notwithstanding its present po- sition at the top of the League column, is not rated a strong team, and the three Successive victories of that organization over the Cardinals is not conducive ,to jubi- lation. Cincinnati is like to take a majority of games played on its own grounds. Bos- ton, Brooklyn and Philadelphia will no doubt do the same, and the sole chance of the local team to fatten its percentage col- umn is at the expense of the Chicago and St. Louis is now sixth They will probably return in the same po- sition. Sunday's game at Athletic Park was Scarcely worthy of the name. The grounds were dusty and uneven and the crowd op the field swarmed so close upon the players that a hit into it went for two bases. The Cincinnati team popped out many flies into the spectators that went as two-base hits, which under normal conditioris the St. Louts outfield would have eaten up. The fielders paved within ten feet of the crowd and f a hit sailed over their heads they could only watch it impotently be swallowed up in the ocean of heads without making an ef- fort to get it. The home team made more clean hits than their opponents and fewer errors, but could not connect with the tallies. Breiten- Stein's bases on balls figured in the run- getting of the visitors, however, and evened up the Cardinals’ superiority in other ye- spects. é‘ Notwithstanding the 11 hits Made off his delivery, Hahn was again an énigma to the local batters. The latter made hits, but they were seldom timely. The play obvi- ously was to hit into the crowd, where flies that ordinarily would be outs would go for hits. But the Cardinals were, for the most part, unable to lift Hahn's slants. Breitenstein‘'s showing was fair, want of control being his chief drawback. His form is nothing like that of the old days. The crowd, always fickle and ungrateful, un- mindful of old associations and forgetting the time when “The’’ was their idof. even called to have him taken out. He was al- lowed to remain and finished the same better than he started. Had the outfield been in a position to help out the sorrel- topped twiriler, there seems little doubt that the opposing team’s hit column would have been much leaner. If Breitenstein can recover his control of the ball, he will be a valuable addition to the staff. The latter appears the v eak- est spot on the team and sadly needs rein- forcing. Harper looks to be the best of the lot, though Powell is supposed ta have the call. The entire department has one fault, however—it is thoroughly unreliable. There is not a man Capt. Donovan can put in the box in whom the audience will have pesrees confidence that he will pitch nine nnings in National League form. Without confidence in the man in the box, the team work in the field is sure to fall off, and it is probably this fact that ts at the bottom of the predictions of the wise that the Cur- dinals have now struck their normal gait. The work of Childs at second and at the bat is causing. comment of a high!y flat- tering nature about that player. Tr he can live up to the standard he has set for the last few games he will certainly freeze Pad- den out of his job at second. Childs leads the local players in ae for the seven games in which he has participated, with an average of considerably over .40, the mighty Burkett even trailing behind him. Batting is what takes the eyes of the fans and Childs promises to be a bleacher favor- ite before the season is over. —_— —~@--—— SHAMROCK II TRIES AGAIN. Iipton’s Yacht Faces a Squally Wind From the Northeast. SOUTHAMPTON, May 6.—The Shamrock Il had her second spin this morning. A fresh, squally northeast wind promised just the conditions Capt. Sycamore desired, to supplement Saturday’s light-breeze trial. The chief interest now centers in the cup challenger’s behavior when poking her long bow into a rough sea. Mr. Watson, the designer, is so pleased with Saturday's performance that he has gone to London and probably will not return to witness to- day's trial. A preliminary brush between the two Shamrocks is expected Wednesday, but the first match race round a set course is not likely to take place until late in the week or early next week. Mr. Fife will arrive here Wednesday to take charge of the Shamrock l. Was Shamrock II Beaten? LONDON, May 6.—A dispatch to the Ex- change Telegraph Co. says that Shamrock I beat Shamrock II, in a seven-mile spin by a minute and a few seconds. SMITH DEFEATED CABANNE.

FAIR GROUNDS, May 6.—This change in the weather may affect the form of some of the horses here, but it will prob- ably bear harder on the weak ones than the strong, and it is to be expected that the horses with the most class will ge the money in nearly all, if not all, of the events this afternoon. It was noticeabie in the early morning that all the animals sent out for exercise gallops were full of vim, and _ there is that they may not have. cooled out proper- ly. probably make them eager at the post, but the prospects for rain at 11 o'clock were such that there may bea muddy track. It this far lillinois Sunday did not extend tou make it firmer. The scratches in- today’s card are: First race, Ben oy, Echo Dale, Mrs._ ! and William Beyer; in the fifth, Wax Taper Domsie. The sc¢ratches and the change in. the weather make it advisable to revise the Post-Dispatch selections for today, as pub- lisned Sunday, been made. the second. to have this event at his mercy, may have to stretch his neck to beat the two fleet flillics, Helen Print and Miss Dora. Horsemen find several improvements at the track this season, but they want one other a great deal more than they wanted most of those made. That is a tions are bad in themselves, and the pad- dock is located at the wrong place. now just east of the clubhouse, and rubbers, ‘“‘swipers’’ and other, (some objectionable, and some not) the who maddock pass in front en. The language of the average stable boy is not edifying, however graphic it may be, and sometimes a word that could not be used in polite society is wafted to the ears fof the dames and maids who grace the lawn with their presence. Another objection is that the band Is sta- tioned so close to the paddock that it is dif- ficult to control a high-strung horse while he is being saddied. There should be sad- dling stalls, and the paddock should be moved west of the betting ring. The mat- ter of making a new paddock and admitting visitars to it on payment of a fee as is the custom at most other metropolitan tracks was being considered before the Fair Grounds changed hands. The new owners have shown a liberal and progressive spirit and its probable that they will remedy the present conditions as soon as they can find time. J. E. Murphy. Brewer Schorr’s right hand man, arriv from Memphis today. He states that the 18 horses beloging to the Schorr stables that have remained at Mem- phis since the close of the meeting there will arrive here Thursday. They are all in good condition. Silverdale will probably be the stable’s cardidate for the Inaugural Saturday. He is a horse of great speed and should not be overlooked in the speculating. Tom McHale, the only other horseman who has remained at Memphis till now, will not come here, having made up his mide to go direct to Washington Park. of the Western onday afternoon The result of the meetin Jockey Club at Chicago is being awaited with a at deal of in- terest by most of the horsemen at the track.
