INQUEST WILL SOLVE MYSTERY. IF USTIN CASE sd

Officials. Declare Woman's Statement Clears Up Death of Surgeon.

By a Staff Correspondent of the Post - Dispatch. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 7.—Chief of Po- lice Donahue declared today that the Coroneér’s inquest into the death of Dr. Frederick T. Rustin tomorrow will sure- ly determine how the surgeon died. County Attorney English also asserted that he believed the mystery is solved. The officials base their assertions on @ staternent made yesterday by Mrs. Ab- bey B. Rice, also known as Leona Bun- nell. This was taken down by a stenog- rapher and wil! be used at the Coroner’s inquest. Though. the officials refuse to tell the nature of the statement, it is learned from a trustworthy source that the woman whose life was tangled up with Dr. Rustin’s is merely an expres- sion of the belief that he committed suicide. As she was two miles from the scene of the tragedy when it oc- curred, her belief does not seem con? clusive. Chief of Police Donahue and County Prosecutor English were called from @ ball game to the City Jail to see Mrs. Rice. They were joined by Chief of Detectives Savage and Police Captain Dunn. They were with the woman two hours and when they left all were smil- ing and all expressed themselves as highly pleased with the statement made by Mrs. Rice. ; Says Check Was Keepsake. Nevertheless, it is understood that the confession did not clear up several sig- nificant items of evidence which seem to point to murder. Mrs. Rice stated that the $500 emer- gency check made out to her several days before her protector’s death was given her as a keepsake. She was not asked to explain why she telephoned Luther L. Kountze, in an effort to get it cashed. ° “Mrs. Rice knew that the check was worthless, but she accepted it as a lit- tle keepsake from the doctor,” said Chief Savage, in evident satisfaction with the explanation. ‘‘No, she wasn't thinking of leaving him.”’ It is known that the size of this check was perhaps a hundred times the amount the physician was accustomed to bestow upon the woman who had wrecked his career; that she sought tq Cash it, and thatishe submitted witn reluctance to its destruction by Capt. Dunn. Says She Found Cartridge. As to the 32-caliber cartridge found by the police in her reom, which was the Same size as the bullet which killed Dr. Rustin, the woman explained that she found the cartridge on the street a long time ago and had carried it as a luck piece. | : The whereabouts of her husband, Irving Rice, formerly an Orderly Ser- ‘feant in the Eleventh Cavalry, U. 8. A, according to Mrs. Rice's father, has not been learned. The solitary effort the police made to discover this fact was sending a detective fo Calhoun, Neb., »,/Saturday night to look for him.

POSSE ON TRAIL Ur MAN ACCUSED BY LITTLE GIRL Beaten by Crowd, Fugitive Is Believed Hiding in Cornfield. Sheriff Cashell of St. Clair County | sent deputies from Bellevilie and East St. Louis Monday te take charge of a man hunt in the vicinity ef Dupo, six miles south of Dast St. Louis. The call for deputies came from the City Marshal of Dupo. He was excited and pleaded that the deputies be sent at once. He gave the impression that there was danger of the man being lynched if caught. A former switchman, acoused of at- tacking Mary Swartz, 7-year-old daugh- ter of Henry W. Swarts, is believed to be lying badly weunded in a cornfield, where he dragged himself after escap- ing from relatives and friends of the victim, who set upon him when he was pointed out by the little girl. A picnic was held Sunday at Dupo Grove and the former switchman was there. . During the evening the child was missed. Near midnight she _ re- turned home and said she had been at- tacked in a corn field by a man who had later gone to a saloon. When she was taken to the saloon she pointed out the man. Led by the child's father, the crowd attacked the man and beat him severe- ly. He finally escaped to the corn fields through a rear door. Search was made for him, but he was not found. SS SP ee TS

ACTION House of Delegates Must Hurry Bills if City Is to Benefit. ALY =

MONTHS ARE WASTED

Members Say They Favor Natural Gas Meas- ure, but—

- MEMBERS OF HOUSE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE - Chairman W. J. Brennan, Demo- _ @rat, Sixteenth Ward; James J. ‘Gallagher, Democrat, Third Ward; ; ‘Prank Simmons, Republican, Tenth Werd; Mathew Tobin, Democrat, ‘Fourteenth Ward; Frank Weeke, Republican, Seventeenth Ward; Joseph Schell, Republican, Ninth ‘Ward; Charles (Cap) Troll, Repub- 4

| Mean, Eighth Ward.

Competition and low prices for mu- n : l lighting for the 10 rears “eginn- ing Sept. 1, 1910, depend on the dispatch or blowness with which the House ¢ Delegates acts on the natural gas bill and: two others authorizing contracts for the {llumination of the streets and parks with gas and electricity. ‘Two years is little enough time for Gutaide companies which desire to bid for the city lighting to obtain their fran- chises and install a system of distribu- tion. Already the House of Delegates has Wasted three months on the lighting bills. One of them—that covering the lighting of public bulldings—has been reported by Delegate James T. Bren- fan's Committee on Ways and Means.

This is the least important of the tkree. The other two, with the natural. bills. gas bill, are still held in committee and without any explanation of that policy. Harry 8. Sanderson, Supervisor of City Lighting, and Harry R. Fardwel), meim- ber of the Board of Public Improve- ments, declares that if there is to be any competition for city lighting, the biils now in the House of Delegates will have to be passed promptly. Cost ef Lighting City. ’ The Union Electric Light Co. and the Laclede Gas Light Co. now have the contracts for lighting all the streets, alleys, parks and public buildings of 8t. Louis. Under the new contracts the ag- @regate cost of municipal hghting will be more than $300,000 a year, figuring on the basis of present prices. If the authorization of contracts is de- layed long enough to prevent the possi- bility of a competitor’s getting a fran- ohise and laying pipes and conduits, the Laclede company and the Union com- pany, both subsidiaries of the North American Securities Co., will have the field to themselves. The city will then be compelled to pay whatever rates are ‘demanded for gas and electricity used in ite public lighting. The passage of the natural gas bill holde a promise of competition in one Givection. It is understood that the men who are trying to obtain a franchise have tentatively decided to enter St. Leuls from the west, so as to tap the ‘thick fringe of population along the western city Mmits. In that case the mew concern would be in a position to bid for the privilege of lighting at least a section of the city. It is believed that natural gas can be brought from Oklahema to St. Louls within two years. Laclede Company Fights. _ hus far the only fight on the natural gas dill has been made by the Laclede Gas Light Co. At the first hearing on the bill In the Council, the Laclede com- pany had stenographers there to take . motes of the speeches in favor of the bill, the names of those attending and the interrogations of the committee. Later @ lst of questions, which Councilman Norvell announced were prepared by an attorney for the Laclede company, was read to James ©. Rodgers. and George V. Reynolds, two of the men asking the franchise. _ Another list of questions touching, not the merits of the bill, but the identity and financial standing of the men who aré seeking the franchise, were put to Rodgers and Reynolds at the public hearing before the Public Improvements Committee of the House of Delegates last July . The members of the committee aft- erwards declared that they didn't know who framed the questions or gave them to Clerk Tom Leonard. Then came a situation that is unique “Ym the history of the Municipal Assem- bly. Six of the seven members of the Public Improvements Committee, — ite chairman, W. J. Brennan, ec in the same breath that they favor reporting the bill to the House, ‘Dut;are unable to do so, One member, “Cap” Troll, stands in their way and ts @o Dig that they can’t get past him. y the failure of a committee . a bill is due to the hostility ‘all or a majority of its members. in-

wound in the physician’s abdomen, will testify that the entire absence of powder in the wound and of powder burns on the skin and clothes is conclusive evi- dence agaimst euicide. Althougn Mrs. Rustin was a'most im- mediately on her porch after the report of the revolver sounded, she says she fuund no revolver. Doctors Lord und Langfeld and the servant at the Rustin home, who were the only other ones on the scene, declare they found no re- volver. A search of the premises and the yard has so far not disclosed a weapon. Searching for the Weapon. Recognizing this to be the weak link in their theory, the polics are searching for the weapon. Chicf Donahue iias ex- pressed the suspicion that Mrs. Rustin or one of the physicians concealed it to prevent the scandal of suicide and the Vitiation of life inatirance policies al- leged to have the suicide clause. , The interesting portion of the state- ment according to County Attorney English, consisted of a detailed account of Dr. Rustin’s relations with Mrs. Rice and of the financial troubles !n which his dissipations had invoived him. These were already known, though not in the detail in which Mrs. Rice has now related them. It was known that the physician had literally flooded the town with worth- less checks, and that for two years there had been a standing order at the First National Bank that none of the physician's checks overdrawing his bal- ance were to be cashed without consult- ing the president. An official of the bank declares that often two:or three of Dr. Rustin’s checks were refused a day. ; Floated Many Bad Checks. It was his custom, a friend closer to him in financial matters than any other told a Post-Dispatch reporter, to get $5 and $10 checks cashed in cigar stores and barber shops and saloons, in fact in every place where hig former pros- perity as a surgeon and the prestige of his family name would gain him credit. These checks were regularly declined the bank. “The town was full ef men,” said this friend, ‘‘who were hounding Dr. Rustin for the payment of worthless checks.”’ Thig was the third. financial crisis in which the physician had become. in- volved. On the former occasions his mother, a wealthy woman, had extri- cated him. She was in negotiation at the time of his death with his bankers concerning means to rescue him for the third time. Of this fact Dr. Rustin was aware. That his life insurance policies would not be affected by suicide was assertej yesterday by Luther Kountze, President of the First National Bank, and the physician’s financial adviser. | “Dr. Rustin two years ago carried $125,000 of life insurance,” gaia Mr. Kountze, “but the strain became too heavy to carry and he allowed a portion of it, probably $50,000 to lapse. Of the $75,000 remaining, I think I am safe in saying that not a dollar would be af- fected by suicide. All his standing in- surance is incontestable." Strong Political Influences. That powerful influences are at work in protection of the Rice woman is admitted by Chief of Detectives Savage. The police have carefully guarded Mrs. | Rice in Jail, permitting no one but her father access to her. Reporters are refused permission to question her con- cerning the $600 check and the cart- ridge found in her room. and also as tu the whereabouts of her husband. “I'm sorry,” said Savage, “but I can- not let you see her, even if I want to. I have orders that no one is to be per. mitted to see her.” “Who could have given you those or. Gers’ he was asxed.

at ~~ “It’s easily answered,” he was prompted. ‘“The only men with author- ity to give you orders are Chief Don- ahue and County Attorney English.’’ “Who’s English?’ demanded the Chief, belligerently. ‘‘He can't boss me, and if Chief Donahue told me to arrest a man and I didn’t want to I wouldn’t have to.’’ Some One "Higher Up.” : ‘“‘Then it’s someone bigger than they?”’ Savage was queered. His reply was a wink. In the Police Department is Tom Dennison, influen- tial in the Omaha under-world—to which Mrs. Rice belongs and in which she has powerfu! friends. Dennison has endeared himself to the whole police force by. his lavish donations to patrol- men whenever the mother-in-law or second cousin of one of them is alleged to have fallen ili. Cheek-by-jowl with him is Victor Rosewater, who inherited the Omaha Bee. On the day when the develop- ments of the cartridge and the check made the Rustin case the biggest news story in Nebraska, the Bee did not print a line of it, while the other local papers ran columns. The Bee News Bureau is responsible for the story, telegraphed broadcast over the country last night, that Mrs. Rice’s confession, indicating suicide, had solved the mystery. Jurors Prominent Men. The friends of Dr. Rustin’s family, who are the leading citizens in Omaha, are ey ng on the inquest to bring out the facts in the case. The jury is en- tirely composed of men in the same so- cial set to which the Rustins belonged, and some of them were close in busi- ness to him. Four of the jurors are near neighbors of the family. One of them, Victor White, is a real estate } man and manager of a coal company in which Forest Richardson, who has been sleepless in guarding Mrs. Rustin from the outside world, is manager. Edward Haney, another of the panel, was a close friend of Dr. Rustin’s father, both having been pioneer rail- road men in Nebraska. To the same social clique as the Rus- tins are the other members of the panel, Charles BE. Black, W. L. Selby, Alfred I. Creigh and F. B. Barrett. Mrs. Mary F. Howe, of Haverhill, Mass., mother of Mrs. Rustin, expressed indignation today at the apathy of the Police in investigating the physician’s death prior to the Post-Dispatch’'s reve- lation of the cartridge and check as clues in the case. Thinks It Case of Murder. “My daughter and I firmly believe it Was a case of murder,” she said, ‘‘and unless the police: probe the case to the bottom we shall never be satisfied. The guilty person should not go unpunished. I am deeply grateful to the Post-Dig- patch for the discovery of this evidence, which entirely removed a prevalent im- pression that Mrs. Rustin knew more of the tragedy than she was telling.” Mrs. Rustin was unable to be seen when a reporter called and was confined to her bed in a darkened room.

WABASH, Ind., Sept. 7.—In order to prevent the wedding of Mrs. Sylvia Hernice, a widow, to his rival,. Sunday, shot and killed the woman Saturday night and then took his own life. The double tragedy occurred on a _ lonely road several miles from Wabash and probably would not have been discovered for severai days had not the driverless horse, which Baker had hired from a loeal livery, gone back to the stable of its own aceord. The bodies were found sitting upright in the buggy and at first ft was thought the man and woman were sleeping. It was discovered then that Mrs. Her- nice was dead, having been shot four times. Baker was still preathing, but did not regain consciousness before his ‘death a few minutes after the buggy re- turned to the stable. From the statements of persons near the roadside traveled by the buggy, it is gathered that Baker's first intention was to return to Wabash with the dead hoedy of the woman sitting beside him. Then his courage failed, or remorse seized him, and he shot himself in the head when a short distance from the city. Mrs. Hernice is said to have arranged to go to Benton Harbor, Mich., on Sun- day. She was to have met George War- ner, Baker’s rival, at the Michigan re- sort and they were to have been mar- ried. The woman had bought her ticket and her baggage had been checked. Baker, learning of the plans, became desperate and set about to prevent the wedding. Warner meanwhile went to Benton Harbor alone to await Mrs. Hernice. He has not returned to Wabash and prob- ably does not know of the tragedy. The coroner’s inquest Monday re- sulted in a verdict for murder and gui- cide. Go Firat to a Carnival. It was carnival night in Wabash and the city was aglow with lights. Mrs. E.ernice suspected nothing when Baker asked her to drive to the carnival with him. They remained there a while, danc- ing and joining in the merrymaking and then Baker proposed a ride into the country. They went two miles west of the city and then Baker turned the horse into a secluded highway. It is believed there was a quarrel and a struggle, as a bullet wound in the wo- man’s left hand indicates chat she fought for possession of the revulver. The hand was burned with powder. Three times Baker shot her in the head and then lifted the body into the bug- gy. Early Sunday, farmers on tre out- skirts of the city heard a revolver shot and it is belleved that for hours the slayer had driven about with the body at his side, before nerving himself to suicide. Man Had Married Twice. Both were well known in Wabash. Mrs. Hernice was 3% years old and Baker was three years her senior. He had been married twice, his second wife having been divorced from him several years ago. She lives here with her child.

comprehend the girl's irresponsibility for sin. She met and loved Germain Scanlan, a married man. She left her home and went to live with him, and in her soul she did not believe she was sinning. Neither did Scanlan believe so. When her mother comes to take her away from him, he makes a stir- ring defense of the life they are leading, arguing that it is the result of hered- ity. I have placed the play in Mr. Hack- ett’s hands, and will leave for New York tonight or tomorrow to take a place in the cast of a play that Is to go on the road soon. Mr. Hackett wil! let me know within a few days wheth- er he has accepted or rejected the play. Press A. Gent: Splendid! (CURTAIN.)

After one is seventy, the question of nourishment is a very delicate one. When ‘old age comes on we do not need so much food as d the more active years, but the digestive organs are very sensitive and care must be exercised in its selection. No food has the strength giving pro- perties and is so easy to digest by old and young as Grape-Nuts. “For years I have been troubled with dyspepsia—for one period, 8 years”— writes our aged minister, “I finally began using Grape-Nuts and have had no trouble with my stomach since, feel pattertty well and strong, and though I am 71 years old I feel like a boy. “Then, too, my wife has been ‘troubled for years with biliousnes« ‘and sick headaches.

| ~ Miss Dolly O’Keefe of 1221 Mississippi avenue and John Rien of 4366 Finney avenue narrowly escaped death Sunday night when the’ buggy in which they were riding was struck by a Taylor ave- nue car at Tamm avenue. When Rien saw that he could not get acfoss the tracks in time he dropped the reins and, seizing Miss O'Keefe, leaped out of the vehicle. Beyond a few bruises neither was injured. The bug@w was smashed to splinters and the hurse was so badly hurt that it was shot by Patrol- man Carroll. Rein and Miss O'Keefe had been driv- ing in Forest Park. About 10 p. m. they left the park and were driving in’ the direction of the Clayton road along Tamm avenue. The Taylor avenue car was coming down the hill on the Mar- ket street tracks at a rapid rate. Miscalculating the distance, Rein whipped up his horse and it was only when in the middle of the tracks that he realized he was too late. His quick action in grabbing Miss O'Keefe and making the leap saved their lives. KIDNAPERS GET BOARDWALK STORY FROM NEGRO BY TRICK ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. Jesse Jackson, the only eyewitness of the shooting of Charles Boyle Roberts, and who disappeared from his home on Friday night after he had been re- leased under $500 bonds, gave himself up to the police last night. In a statement made to Chief of Po- lice Woodruff, he said he had been tricked into a signed statement which was published later, and which in- ferentially accused Mrs. W. 8S. G. Wil- Hams, Roberts’ companion in the roller chair, of firing the pistol that wounded the Baltimore clubman. Chief Wood- ruff sald that investigation had confirm- ed the truth of Jackson’t latest story. The, authorities held a secret confer- ence last night to determine what action will be taken against those who par- ticipated in the alleged kidnaping.

It is also hinted that if Mr. Lehmann is employed, Circuit Attorney Sager may invite Attorney-General Hadley into the case. BY MISTAKE, THIES TO BLOCK WEDDING Mr. Young Finally Finds Young Is Young, but Nt Her Son. Mrs. When Mrs. George Young, 405) caston avenue, heard that Robert Young, whom she supposed to be her son, had procured a license to marry Miss Lil- ian Hammer, 2827 South Seventh street, she tried to block the wedding, but failed. “Indeed,” remarked Mrs. Young, in- dignantly, to the marriage license clerk. ‘“‘My Robby is only 17, and you had no business issuing that eertift- cate.’’ ‘The clerk smiled. “Well, your Robby certainly looked 21 and more to me,” said he. And the clerk was right. According to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Young, who have gone to housekeeping at 2815 Geyer avenue, Mrs. Young of Easton avenue is all wrong in presuming that the happy bridegroom is any relation of hers. “That was an embarrassing mix-up,”’ said Mr. Young to a Post-Dispatch re- porter Monday. ‘“‘I am 22 years old and my . wife is 21, and there wasn’t the slightest objection to our marriage from any source. My mother lives at Flora, Il. “IT do not know Mrs. Young of Bas- ton avenue, nor her son Robert, if she has one by that name. ‘When my wife’s folks read Mrs. Young’s statement in the Post-Dispatch that I was barely 17, there was all kinds of knocks on me. [If the Basten avenue Mrs. Young could have just held her breath long enough she would have discovered that I was no kin to her. Mr. and Mra. Young were married by Justice of the Peace Moore.

Topping the list igs the name of George Ade. Brady sends his publication regularly to the author of ‘‘Fables in Slang’ and “The Sultan of Sulu’’ because—well, partly because he knows Ade and has called on him. Not modest in many things, John Thomas has been reticent about the call he made on Ade. In fact, Brady never mentioned it “first.’’ He waited for Ade to do so. Ade kept the secret himself until he met a staff correspondent of the Post- Dispatch on the way to Cincinnati to the Taft notification ceremonies. As soon as the conversation switched to Bt. Louis, Ade temporarily forgot his inter- est in the notification function to ask about our John Thomas. After being in- formed as to some of the main points of Mr. Brady, Ade explained the reason of his questions, much to the interest of United States Subtreasurer Thomas J. Akins, Charles R. Edwards of Washing- ton, D. C.; President Henry W. Kiel of the St. Louis Republican Glee Club and [jf others abroad the same car. Invited Himself to Visit. “Rather remarkable chap,’’ Ade be- gan, never met anybody just like him before. I first heard from him over the telephone one night last winter. I was just about to close up my house on the farm near Brooke, Ind. I had sent the servants away and was alone with my sister. “The telephone ra\ and a voice at the other qnd told me its owner bore the name of Brady. He said he was from St. Louls and wanted to come down to see me. He declined to explain his busi- ‘ness or-to postpone his visit, so I. told him to come on down from wherever he was. “It was late at night when he arrived. He immediately demanded something to eat. My sister prepared something for him and he then wanted to know if we didn’t have any coffee. So we made him coffee. “All the while he wore an expression apparently of great anger. My sister was frightened. I was puzzled to know what he wanta@? or why he came after it in that way. “Finally, he told me he had some humorous ‘stuff’ he wanted me to look over and see if I couldn't touch it up for him or collaborate with him in some way in putting it before the purchasing public. Makes Trip on Coal Train. “Some of the stuff was good. But I couldn’t handie any such proposition and told him so. So he left and my sister felt easier, I think, after he de- parted, although his —_ rather inter- ested me.”’ “That's about right,”’ Brady remarked when questioned about this adventure. ‘“T was over in Indiana and decided to call: on the distinguished writer. So I rang him up on the long-distance tele- phone. ‘When I got him I said, ‘That you, Ade. Yes? Well, thie is Brady.’ “Of course he didn’t know who I was, but I told him I was from St. Louis and wanted to see him. “He said, ‘Well, I live. down here about a mile from a hill and it’s late now.’ “IT said, ‘I don't care if it’s 10 miles from a hill and how late it Is, I'd like to see you.’ ‘“‘*Well,’ he said, ‘there’s a coal train leaving where you are in 10 minutes.’ “*All right,’ I said, ‘I'll take it.’ “It was snowing, but I climbed on the coal train and went down there. It was nearly 1 o’clock in the morning when I arrived, but I got a hackman to take me out to Ade’s, although he didn’t want to do it. “T asked for something to eat, al) right, and I got it. Ade was all right. He told me my idea was all right, too, but he had jobs on hand that paid him too much money to take up mine. And I guess he was right. ‘But I think I made an impression al! right.”’ ee And there seems to be no doubt about that.

Cashier of Closed Institution Insists That Securities Are Ample. i. EXAMINER UNDER FIRE

_ Other Pittsburg Bankers De- clare Cosmopolitan Was Not in Trouble.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. ' PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 7.—Leading bankers of Pittsburg who have had daily dealings with the Cosmopolitan Bank, closed by Bank Examiner John H.. Cunningham, expressed their indig- nation today at Cunningham's action and they said that the news from. Washington that Cunningham's condi- tion is to be investigated is gratifying. Dispatches from Washington say that Cunningham is in serious trouble be- cause of the allegations that he was intoxicated Saturday. They will be sifted and if they are true the examiner will be dismissed. It is also said Cun- nirigham’s conduct was under inquiry for two or three weeks before his ac- tion in closing the bank here. That Comptroller of the: Currency re ys who has been asked to investi- gate Cunningham, hag taken official no- tice of the matter was shown here this morning when Judge Francis F. Old- | ham of the Department of Justice, ad- | mitted that he had been ordered to re- main in Pittsburg indefinitely. , “Tt was not drunk,” was all Cunning- ham would say today, when asked for statement. Direetors “Want to Reopen. Directors of the Cosmopolitan Bank will hold a meeting tomorrow, when an appeal will be made to the Comptroller ,of the Currency for permission ¥% re- open the bank, on the ground that there was no cause for its being closed. E. A. Kitzmiller, vice-president of the bank, one of those to charge Cunning- ham with being intoxicated, is prac- tically at the head of, the institution, John MéClurg, the president, being seri- ously ill with tuberculosis. Robert Lyons, receiver of the Cos- mopolitan Bank, was asked if he had read the charge that'Cunningham was intoxicated. “I'am very sorry that this matter has becéme public,” he replied. ‘“Cunning- ham is an excellent fellow.” Thirty-one prominent bankers seen to- day expressed their surprise at the clos- ing of the bank. The consensus of opin- fon was that the Cosmopolitafi was -in good condition financially and that they |, would have known it bad there been any treuble. said: | “It is the custom, kind, for a bank, if it is in trouble to appeal to the other banks. Invariably aesistance is given, as far as possible. I know of no such appeal having ‘been made by the Cosmopolitan.” Says Bank Is All Right. Db. J. Richardson, tashier of the Cos- mopolitan, still refuses to make any ac- cusation against Cunningham. “He is a United States official, for. whom we Robert Wardrop, one of them, in cases of thisi-

must have respect,”’ he said. ‘There are scores of persons who saw Mr. Cun- ningham on Saturday and I must refer you to them.” Cashier Richardson asserted that of the securities carried in the bank, all arc gilt edged, including the Santa Fe stock. Of this there is a trifle over $60,- 000, which has been accepted at 50 cents on the dollar. | According to Richardson, even admit- ting this stock to be worthless (and this, he claims, is the only stock that has been questioned), the bank would still have ample securities and be in_«s good condition as it has been at any time for months. There is much discussion about the fashionable Duquesne Club today re- garding Cunningham's condition for the past few months. Bankers who are members of the club, protested against his talking too much. It is alleged that vrior to the closing of the Eenterprise National and‘ other banks which Cun- ningham had _ investigated he talked about the approaching action at the club. oun Attorney Adivsed Closing Bank.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Fashionable so- journers at Sayville, L. I., are daily ex- pecting the marriage of. Mrs. Edward Kelly, widow of the son of Eugene Kel- ly and mother of Mrs. Frank J. Gould, to Ralph Craft Jr., 24 years old, athlete, yachtsman and insurance broker. He is a son of Ralph Craft Sr., who has been a money broker on the Howery for 45 years, and,who has amassed a fortune. When the subject was broached to Mr. Craft Jr. today he did not seem sur- prised, and did not deny that he hoped to make Mrs. Kelly his bride. He did deny that there is a formal engagement of marriage. Old friends of’ Mrs. Kelly say she would not be at all likely to say any- thing about her prospective marriage, even if the trousseau were being made, They recall that, she was the wife of Edward Kelly 11° years before Mr. Kel- at all. And’ they remember, ‘too, that when the engagement*of Helen Kelly, Mrs. .Kelly’s daughter, to Frank Jay Gould was first rumored, Mrs. Kelly, when questioned, merely raised- her eyelrows and said: ‘I have not announced it, have I?" and so left the inquirers to wonder if it were really so. ‘Te’s all rot,” said Mr. Craft when first approached, but. when the name of one of his friends was mentioned as authority, Mr. Craft, a little off his guard, replied: “My father knows all about it. He objects to it. But I don’t see what dif- ference that makes.”’ Mrs. Kelly is still a handsome wom- an. While she even went so far as to deny the engagement, she said she ‘did rot see why Mr. Craft's father should object to the marriage. We've Said It Before.

HECKED AFTER $3,/00,000 LESS — Wrenshall, Minn., Is Only Town Now Threatened— Chisholm, City of 4000, Destroyed.

DULUTH ,Minn., Sept. 7.—Forest fires which threatened to devastate the en- tire range district have been checked and Buhl and Nashwauk, which were surrounded by flames, are safe. Wrenshall, 35 miles northwest of Du- luth, is still threatened and the 600 iIn- uabitants are fighting the flames, which are within a mile of the town. Small fires are burning between Hib- bing and Coleraine, but little damage is anticipated. Chisholm, a town of 4000 has been practically de- stroyed. The ruined city will be re- built at once. Relief trains are pouring into the dis- trict. Chisholm is under military rule. Four thousand are homeless in Chisholm alone. Conservative estimdtes of the loss caused by the fires in Northern Minnc- sota and in the northwestern portion of Wisconsin place the total at $3,750,000. Of this amount $1,750,000 is Chisholm’s loss. OAFEBLOWERS GET — $1100 \. Rob Breckinridge (Mo.) Postoffice and Escape in Buggy.

HARRIMAN FILLS TALK WITH PRONOUN “WE;” DID HE MEAN IT ROYALLY OR EDITORIALLY Railroad Magnate, Discussing Pros- perity, Uses Little Word 13 Times in Eight Sentences, Special to the Post-Dispatch. PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 7.—E. H. Harriman, the railroad magnate, has raised the question here whether he considers himself an editor or a king. The problem was presented in a brief speech he made last night in which he used some form of the first person pues pone ye Us, Otr’—138 imes. as e royal ‘“‘We”’ editorial “We?” wie The speech is as follows: “We find ourselves in far better shape after the senseless money panic of lust fall than might have been ex- pected, and the past year leaves us with hardly @ scratch. We are ina position now to go ahead and com- plete the work laid out and will do 80 a?

Referring to the advent of the new roads on the north bank of the Colum- bia River constructed by the James J. Hill system, Mr. Harriman said: “We have never done anything to keep our northern neighbors out and we will not do so. Incidents in the past were due more than anything else to a misunderstanding. We thought we had an agreement with eur northern neighbors that we be- lieved was violated. “But all has been smoothed out now, and there are no hard feelings. We are just as much interested as anyone in developing this country and in helping others develop it for what helps the country helps us who are interested here. “We welcome other railroads in FIGHTS OFF DEATH TILL DUTY 1 DONE Dying, Watchman Remains at Post Until Work Ends, ‘Then Falls Dead.

With the hand of death gradually tightening its hold upon him Edward Sullivan, a crossing watchman for the Burlington railroad at Second and Des- trehan streets, fought off the grim reap- er until his duties ended Sunday even- ing. : Feebly, he flagged pedestrians and lowered the gates at the approach of trains. He was growing weaker every minute, but bravely remained at his post until his time was up. Then, he stag- gered along Destrehan street toward Broadway. At Broadway he fell ex- hausted and died before a policeman arrived. The body was removed to the morgue. Sullivan was 45 years old and a widow- er. He lived at 3609 North Broadway, a short distance from where he fell. Death is supposed to have been due to heart disease.

These are the reasons for using Van Camp’s. Please read them all, for every one means a great deal to you. Can you tell us one reason for using germ-laden milk, when you can get Van Camp’s? Every day we milk 20,000 cows to sup ply the demand for Van Camp’s Milk. Yet we advertise in pt a few cities. If everyone had the chance that you have to get it,,we could scarcely begin to supply the demand for it. © Think what a percentage of homes must be using it in the towns that we do supply. . : ) You will use it, too, when you know it. You will use it exclusively—for cooking, for drinking, for coffee. When you know these facts, and prove them, nobody could get you to go back to raw milk. tive. is half sugar. but milk. fat. A Germless Milk. Van Camp’s is a germless milk. Every cow is inspected—so are the men who milk them. No tubercular cows, no diseased milkmen, convey their infections to Van Camjes Milk. Our dairies are sanitary. Our factor- fes, where the milk is evaporated, are built without wood. We make a busi- ness of cleanliness. Then «the milk is sterilized after the cans are sealed. Not a germ of any ‘kind can remain in it. Compare that with milkman’s milk. A single germ, left in milk a few hours, breeds millions of others like it. So there are myriads of germs in every

Nothing is altered, nothing add- ed—no sugar, no starch, This is not like condensed milk, which Van Camp’a is nothing Analysis will show about 30 per cent of solids, of which 8 per cent is butter Compare that with milkman’s Milk that stands awhile separates. The butter fat rises and the solids fall. So you get one kind of milk from the top of the milk can—another when served from the middle. From no part of the can do you get the whole milk. That’s why raw milk never gives in cooking the flavor you get from Van Milk Dishes. Once use Van Camp’s in making a milk dish and you will never again be content with raw milk. The deliciousness will be a surprise to you, for raw milk was never so rich. reason is this: Camp’s you are getting the whole, rich milk—all of the butter fat, all of the

Van Camp’s is as thick as thick cream. So thick that you add one part water for coffee. Yet it doesn’t cost half what you pay your milkman for cream. Add two parts water and you have rich milk. The cost of such milk, when you buy Van Camp’s by the case, runs about six cents per quart. “2 Then you have no waste—no milk left — over.

H at Dramatic Muse! ee Ge “Abbe Bonaparte” at Century, “Three Twins” at Olympic, “The Road to Yesterday” at Garrick and “The District Leader” at Grand—New Season’s Initial Offerings. P James O'Neill's new play, “‘Abbe Bonaparte,” which opencd the Century Theatre last night, made it seem in advance the most notable offer- ing for the first night of the theatrical season of 1908-09. Unhappiiy, “Abbe Banaparte’ proved disappointing, both in quality and in the method of its presentation. Ite story is of too light a dramatic texture to hold the interest of an audience throughout an entire evening; it is of such a nature as to demand the most delicate treat- ment if whatever appeal it contains Is to be effectively sent across the foot- lights, and this one chance for public favor was lost by its being played above the proper key, both by the star and his supporting company. Mr. O'Neill himself, in the title role, seems unable to throw aside the tradi-, tions of the robust school of earlier days, in which he was trained, and de- pends mistakenly upon declamatory fer- vor in a portrayal that should sound a keynote of quietness and repression. There are severa] moments in the prog- ress of the play where the audience could have been made to f erty.

If the rest of the world has the time to spare and will just stand around and watch her for a little while, Rawhide, Nevada, will proceed to give a pretty fair imitation of the Phoenix rising right out of its ashes. Rawhide burned down in about twenty min- utes the othef night, owing to a fire in the drug store which got out of control in a high wind, and the first thing Rawhide did after taking an inventory of the ashes was to adopt the motto, “Watch Us Grow,” and then straightway pitched ir to work.

Billy Sunday is not the only man who has seen another appropriate his ideas and inventions and reap the profit of them. a copyright on the sermons and then made the evangelist pay $3500 for them, was legally entitled to the/money, but Billy probably is ‘now thinking of the difference between legality’ and morality, which, as a reader of Pilgrim’s Progress, he ought to have thought of at first. ent office records are full of such good stories. An inventor will knock together a simple no- tion which does not at the time contain any He uses it but neglects to take Some keen witted observer sees what is in it, obtains a patent, and then makes the inventor pay a royalty on his own inven- Some inventors patent everything they think of on the theory that it may be a good thing And many have found a profit in such caution, for no one knows when science, in its forward march, will find use for notions which are little when conceived but become big The inventor, by this precaution, at least saves the right to use his own ideas. Billy Sunday might have sold his barrel of sermons for good money had he been forehand- ed. As it was, he had to buy them. Now he can sell them for what he can get; but he has got another sermon out of the transaction which, with his fervid power, he ought to make worth the price of all of them—a sermon on Honesty and Law Honesty. = % ~~ _—

An. Le. dr. i i A LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Sporting Candidates. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I'd like to see the day when the United States will nominate men for President who never fish or hunt for sport merely. Fishing is cruelty to animals, and so is hunting, whenever the animal is not in- Stantly killed. I trust none of our presidential hunt- ers has ever started a destructive forest fire. ; PROGRESS.

Animals in the City. . © To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have seen several articles recently regarding use- less noises. I think there is nothing more annoying than to be woke up every little while by the crow of au old rooster or the bark of a dog during the still hours of night. There ought to be a law against people keeping such animals in a thickly settled dis- trict. a dog barking and hoping every bark would be the last. It’s a very easy matter to train a dog from constant barking. GAMBLE STREET. Widows Experienced Home-Makers. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. f Would like to say to ,‘Loriesome Widow” that I am a hearty sympathizer and there are many more, I'm sure, who will echo our sentiments. Though several years under 40, refined and a splendid cook and housekeeper, I find the men, both young and old, generally choose very young Birils for wives and in most cases, coming under my observation the results have been anything but happy. It has al- ways been a source of wonder to me that men cred- ited with business instifcts and foresight who would never dream of taking into their employ inexpegi- enced people, will not hesitate to form a life partner- ship with a girl unfit to leave her mother and who embarks upon the sea of matrimony blissfully ig- norant of the duties and responsibilities to be met with. Let us hear from others. ANOTHER “LONESOME WIDOW.”

Fads of Education. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. -- Jt ig to-be hoped that the influence of the Board of Education and of all citizens interested in the public schools will be used to defeat any measures now pending to put the schools under medical in- spection. Some time, at least, should be allowed for a school program. There is universal complaint that there are too many interruptions of the work of instruction; the teachers are not allowed time enough for the lessons; the children’s minds are dis- tracted by the interruptions, the postponing of recita- tions and the excitement caused by visitations of } numerous kinds. Why cannot the children be in- spected at home? Abroad the schools are strictly kept under the control of the educational author- ities. No interruptions of any kind are permitted. Here, it seems that everyone has an ax to grind, or a little cheap notoriety to gain, looks for oppor- tunity to the public schools. Perhaps this bill is mainly intended to furnish occupation for the last batch of young physicians. But the schools were founded for the moral and intellectual training of the American people. They should be left in the hands of those whose business it is to look after them. Cc. F. MULLER.

Shortcomings of Girls. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The lonely giris and widows are very much to blame for their own condition. We bachelors and widowers are getting more afraid of the ‘yoke im- posed on us by the gentle sex. I believe the writers to the various papers and magazines mostly con- tributed by ladies on man’s shortcomings are mag- nified by them to such an extent that it creates hari feelings against the sex. These same writers tell also some of the shortcomings of the girls. We go and see our married friends and find out instead of living as loving pcople should that they are con- tinually disagreeing on the most trivial things. In- stead of comfort, discomfort. Then the mother-in- law who must have her sweet say in all matters of the family is not to» be overlooked and causes more divorces than any factor, I belleve. Most of us are looking for sensible girls who will make life worth living but instead of her finding out hubby’s wants, she is dreaming about other worlds or con- quests to make. If married people would invite some of their single friends of both sexes to dine on Sun- day evenings, I believe a great many good matches would be made—but no, that is entirely too much trouble. They only think of their oWn affairs and are not their brother’s or sister’s keeper. If there was only more harmony and not so much iIn- difference amongst people who are proud, self-willed, dictatortal and independent. all would be better for us who are looking for a helping, congenia] mate.

THE ONE RESPONSIBLE MAN. From the New York World. In his speech at Sioux City, lo., Mr. Bryan asserted that the number ‘of trusts had increased during the last 11 years, and added: ‘“‘Not only this, but with the most strenuous Republican you ever had in the White House, he has not succeeded in putting one trust magnate in the Penitentiary.” Mr. Bryan seems to have struck the trail at last. Now let him follow it. Wherever a trust is in opera- tion In defiance of the laws of the United States there is some individual lawbreaker.

THE PROTEAN WONDER, hela on a Glebe-Democrat news item of Saturday, Sept. 5.)

[’ was exhibition day at Sagamore Hill. The stage manager advanced to the footlights with a beaming face. “Ladies and gentlemen!’’ he said, “I have the pleasure of introducing the world’s wonder, Theodore, the protean lightning-change champion of the uni- verse!”’ Great applause. “His first specialty, ladies and gentle- men, will be to manage Mr. Taft’s cam- paign blindfolded and without the aid of a net!’ Richard V. Oulihan, in charge of the Taft literature bureau, went on the stage and Theodore turned the trick easy. ‘“Tadies and gentlemen!” said the an- nouncer, ‘‘Theodore will now direct the trend of religious thought with one hand tied behind him!”’ Bishop S. H. Brent of the Philippines and Missionary Howard Richards crossed the footlights and the act went fine. “And. now, ladies and gentlemen, The- odore, strapped to his chair, will show how easy it is to run a magazine!” John’ A. Sleicher, editor of Lesiie’s, stepped up and was shown. “His next feat, ladies and gentlemen, will be that of showing how to bust a trust while you wait!’’ Assistant United States District Attor- ney Henry A. Wise advanced and studied the “bust” with legal eyes. The- oretically, it was a good ‘“‘bust.”’ “Finally, ladies and gentlemen,”’ cried the stage manager, ‘““‘Theodore will do his unparalleled China cabinet trick of keeping an ‘open door’ with just one foot stuck in the crack!’’ : ‘ Wu Chang of China took the stage and Theodore made an instantaneous hit —he held the door on the Chink. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ announced the manager, ‘“‘Theodore will now be glad to do any other trick you may de- sire, if re But the audience rose in a body. “No!

Handy Expected to Repeat Victory in Swim Today a Ln a

wre Sixty-four swimmers are scheduled te dive eff from a barge near the Chain of Rocks at 8 o’cleck this afternoon for the second annual National A. A. U. championship swimming race in the Mississippi River. The event will be held under the. auspices of the Mu.s- souri A. C. L. B. (“Bud’’) Goodwin of the New York A. C., one of the strongest long- distance swimmers in the country, who was an equal favorite with Handy to win today’s event, had not arrived up to 10 o’ciock this morning, and it is rumored at the club that Goodwin will not compete in the race. He is entered, but swimmers and officials at the club declare that they have heard no word from Goodwin as to whether*he will start. It is feared that he may be de- layed and unable to start, even if he is on his way to St. Louis now. Harry J. Handy of Chicago won the race last year. He is generally expected to repeat his victory. August M. Goess- jing, winner of the first 10-mile swim time prize three years ago, should also be a strong contender today. Tom Martin, Gwynne Evans, Otto Schwarz ana other fast Missouri A. C. men are to start in the race. Local men all admit that the,man they will have to beat is Handy. Speaking ef the statement made by ‘Chicago men that he would be protest- ed for professionalism if he wins the race, Handy, who arrived Sunday with a number of other swimmers from Chi- cago, declared that he did not fear the result if he is» protested, for the reason that he is sure that he has done nothing wrong. The fact that he has beach, according to Handy, dees not affect his amateur standing, and he ae- Clares that the A. «a. U., if the matter is left to them, will decide that way. The M. A. C. has promised to have a rewboat for every man who competes in the race. Several of the men will have their own boats and attendants. Alex. Maffert of the Chicago A. A. will have nine swimmers in the race, in- cluding Bob Laughlin, the former St. Leuisan. Laughlin holds several world’s swimming records for unique events, and is a powerful'athlete. He should finish well up in the race. All of the swimmers will be con- veyed to the starting point on a steam- boat. A barge has been towed to Chain of Rocks, however, so that all of the men can line up and get an even start. It is expected that the largest crowd that ever witnessed an aquatic event in St. Louls will be attracted to the river front for the race. Two steamboats will follow the race. Speed boats and launches will] also fol- low the swimmers. Every effort will be made, however, to give the swim- mers a clear course. It is expected that the men will fin- ish about 4:35 p. m. under the middle span of the Eads Bridge. Harry Handy won last year in lh. 40m. 4s, Miss Toeppen and Mrs. Brandenber- ger will probably swim over the course with the contestants in the race. They wished to enter for the race, but were barred because of an agreement among A. A. U. officials that women are not te be allowed to compete against men.

a Billy Hamilton, the veteran coxwain of the Mound City Rowing Club, who has steered the Mound City crews to victory in over 20 races during the past three years did not handle his rudder ood style yesterday, and as a result the Central Rowing Club crew beat out the wearers of the black and orange in the first barge race for the new Faust Cup rowed on the Mississippi Ruver. The Centrals won by about one and a half lengths. The Mound Cities lost at least two lengths because Hamilton allowed himself to be outmanaged by the Central crew. Four crews started the Westerns and St. Louls crews be- ing the other two. Rnere way quite a delav at the start- ing point three miles north of the West- ern Rowing Club. The finish was at the club. Arthur Eveson the starter, and Referee Blattner were aboard Ed Koe- nig’s speed boat, the Independence. The Centrais were hard to line up and Eve- son had a hard time getting the crews on their marks. When he did fire the revolver the Centrals got away the fast- For about the first mile the Westerns, Centrals and Mound Citys were on. even terms. The Mound Citys began to veer towards the Lilinois shore and were soon only a shert distance from the Cen- Toute with the danger of a foul im- minent. The Independence was then run up te within a short distance of the crews and Referee Biattner ordered Hamilton to come away from the Cen- ene Meund Me ~ did come over, losing ground by so dob... Then the Cen- trals started boring ever on the Mound Citys and Hamilton again pulled the Mound Citys further away. More ground ost. an Hamilton made another bad move, when, instead of holding his own course and taking a chance of the Centrals fouling nis boat if they wanted to do so, which would have resulted in the disqualification ef the Centrals, Hamilten deliberately allowed his crew to drop bacx and crossed behind the Centrais to the Illinois side of the This miove cost the Mound Citys the race. They hit*up a fast stroke and were soon on even terms with the Mound Citys and a half mile from the finish were in front by a half length. The Centrals had been ro | however, while the Mound Citys had been straining every nerve to make up the ground lost by passing behind the Centralsa. When the final spurt came the Central crew walked ht away from the tired Mound Citys and won by about one and a half lengths.

—> Banner Year for “Box +f Office With Teams Fighting in Both Leagues.

BOSTON, Sept. 7. real battle for championship honors Fe the first time since the birth of the American League, the old Na- tional League has realized what a meant as a business proposition. off the honors, and this year, for the first time, has there been a real ipitsburg, New York and Chicago had but weak opposition the years they oubt pp to the last five weeks. ITH three clubs in the race, the weaker clubs receive great benefits out of the conditions, as three strong drawing cities will give big money to the tail-enders, where every game is needed by the leading élubs. Then, too, the teams in the run- ning will draw in other cities. For example, the New York Giants drew out more than 8000 people to their game here last Tuesday, one of the largest, crowds seen at the old South Ene, pasture this year. New York loves —— and will make more fuss over der than any city in the land as — are ding this year. It's different with a loser in Man- The great playing of other Pr has little attraction for the fans e city. But once let the Giants at Ge top and there is a wild now!

be a joy sent “out from New York, usually led by the actors from the song-and- dance man to the leading lady. A winner in New York means much for either league, as it advertises the game to the limit. I am inclined to think that the Giants are the favorites with the balliplayers this season for the honors. The team is molded out of ordinary clay, well sea- soned, and, handied by a master me- chanic who will play the umpires for all they are worth, and on the Polo grounds receive at least 10 per cent the best of the close decisions, the officials being carried along with the floodtide of enthusiasm so conspicuous in Greater New York. As ‘the leaders square away other teams wil Inot fight them as hard as earlier in the season, and all are more than likely to pull away from the sec- ond division clubs as if they were tied to @ post. ihe Phillies are the only club that I look to see fight the leaders; as Murray is hopeful of yet passing scme one into third place. Cubs Stronger All-Around Club Than Either Giants or Pirates .ATHEWSON and McGraw must ~ carry the giants along, while “ Wagner and Fred Clarke have to carry in Pittsburg. icago Cubs aer a much strong- und team than either, but the izhter, Johnnie Evers, and Frank ' have their hands full in forcing to their best work.

Bpccial to the Post-Dispatch. ’ DES MOINES, Io., Sept. 7.—As a re- Bult of mental suggestion, phyisicians Say, Brigadier Scott Girard, head of the State Anti-Suicide bureau of the Vol- wnteers of America, tried to kill him- pelf last night by swallowing 50 strych- mine pellets, which had been taken from @ man dissuaded from suicide, and, by turning on the gas, after closing ail openings to his room. While a letter to hic wife in Chicago lay sealed before him he began to write of his feelings as death crept over him and continued the morbid study in Geath until he became unconscious. He: Was rescued and was taken to a hos- pital, when a wedding party of friends Game for him two hours afterward. The doctors have little hope of his re- Sovery. Sees Picture of Death Five sheets of manuscript were de- voted to describing his emotions a he ended with blotting the last shept gfter he had written: ‘‘I feel my wife arms about me. My head whirls. H lovely face is turning to that of an hag; the teeth grow long; the ‘flesh ghrivels from the skull; I gee every Done. I know the face. It its the_pic- ture of death. i choke; I rise to inhale from the open jet. Devils ¢rowd—"’ € Brigadier Girard was found in his chair, fully dressed, evidently prepared to go on with the wedding party that found him when the insane suggestion of killing himself as the hundreds he has convinced of the folly of such a thing have tolé~him they thought of doing. About him: were the poisons, iksnives and revolvers and suicide clip- pings that form the ‘victory cabinet” as Girard has labeled his case of death instruments, taken from other would- be suicides. Conducted Anmti-Suicide Hotel. Girard is 25 years old. He came here to establish his ‘‘Anti-Suicide Hotel,” Which has been remarkably succéssful. Dr. Morris, the city assistant assigned “So the suicide bureau for ‘emergency talis, who had helped restore hundreds ef would-be suicides, was the doctor ealied to work on the man he had so often seen fighting death for others. Girard was happy in his marriage and had no troubles so far as known, and the physicians say that his suicide work had become an obsession and had .fas- cinated him until he succumbed to men- tal suggestion. “Stacy Adams Fall Styles are in.
