CANDEIST DIVES FOR BODIES Ot GIRL AND ESCORI Believes He Knows Where Miss Sensenbrenner and Garlich Perished.

NETS AND HOOKS USED

Workers on the Meramec Find New Clew to Support Tragedy Theory.

oo? = ON A TREE Belief Is That the Two Were Drowned at 8 O’Clock Sunday Night.

Searchers on the scene now believe that Miss Viola ‘fensenbrenner and Joseph Garlich point three-quarters of a mile above Valley Park at 8 o'clock Sunday night. Al this place there are two -trees in the middle of the treacherous lit- tle -Meramec River. Tuesday morn- ing a silk cord, similar to the ones attached to the cushions used on the canoes at Arnold’s boathouse at Val- ley Park, was found clinging to one of these trees. The parents and friends of the young couple believe that in the darkness they drifted against one of the trees, that the canoe was over- turned, and that in their struggle for safety they went down to death to- gether. Garlich a GooY Swimmer. Garlich was an expert swimmer. Miss Sensenbrenner could also swim, and they were both in bathing costumes. Still, their friends argue, they might have been wearied by the two stofms which had preceded: their attempted re- turn to Valley Park from a point two miles above. Besides, it was very cloudy; the moon was overcast and the night was both dark and damp. Under these conditions, they believe, it was impossible for the young couple to make the shore, and death ensued. John F. Sensenbrenner, president of the Hilts Shoe Co., and Henry Garlich, . department manager for the Witte Hardware Co., fathers of thé missing couple, resumed the search for the bodies Tuesday morning at 5 e’clock with increased anxiety. They were joined by Edward and William Garlich, brothers of Joseph, who was 23 years old, and who was employed as a general clerk by Leschen & Sons Rope Co., at 920 North Main street. “Brother Quits Vacation. Joseph J. Sensenbrenner, brother of Viola, who began a two weeks’ vacation last Saturday, hastened from Chicago, after being summoned by long-distance telephone, and werit immediately to Val- ley Park. Clifford Burkbardt of Webster Groves and Herbert Baker also joined the party. One of the most persistent searchers for the bodies is Roy H. Becker of 3822 Flad avenue, who is employed as a salesman at Third and Spruce streets. We was with Miss Edna Sensenbren- ger, sister of Viola, and was the last person to see the now easing couple alive. Tuesday he spent the day diving in the vicinity of the two trees where the silk cord was found, believing the bodies to be near there. He has hardly left the scene or slept since the fateful Sun- day night when the couple disappeared, and declares that he will not rest until the bodies are found. Hight lines, to which brass hooks are attached, are stretched across the river between the two trees above Valley Park and Meramec Highlands, in the _ hope of catching the bodies if they float, were drowned at a May Use Dynamite. Dynamite may be used with the ex- pectation of raising them. Two launches Were engaged in the search Tuesday and every canoe and skiff which could be obtained wp and down the river was called into commission. The reward offered by thé parents was doubled at midnight Monday, and $100 each will now be paid for the recovery of the bodies. The finding of an upturned canoe at Fenton, Mo, 10 miles down the river trom the two trees, Monday afternoon, _ ©@used the parents of the missing cou- ple to give up all hope of seeing their ‘ehildren alive. In the canoe were two of woman's hair, one man’s shoe apoea pair of outing trousers similar to ¥ . @ payer owned by young Garlich. Roy\ Becker said Tuesday: “Joe Garlich was a fine swimmer. He and I have ‘been coming out here three or four times a week all summer, and many a time we have swam past the very spot where [ think he was ~ drowned. Unless his canoe was suddei- ly overturfied, and unless Miss Sensen- brenner clung to bim and prevented him from saving her, I cannot see why they ‘were drowned.” Not Offictally Setormes. * Miss Edna Sensenbrenner, younger sis- ter of Viola, who resides with her par- < ents at 3638 Cleveland avenue, said Tues- et “The whole party went to Arnold's bos house at Valiey Park Sunday morn- i, put on bathing sults and went up @ river about two miles to a sandbar, we ag several hours boating wimmi _There were two rain-

CHILDREN FIGHT FOR FOOD AFTER BEING 24 HOURS ON THE VERGE OF STARVATICN Mother, Penniless and Deserted by Husband, Tells Policeman Pathetic Story. The four small children of Mrs. Cora Solven almost Knocked down Police- man Venverloh of Central District in their hurry to get food which he car- ried them in a basket to relieve their hunger. Until his visit they had had nothing but a few dry crusts of bread for more than twenty-four hours. Their mother had eaten nothing in two days, she said. The policeman was informed of their condition by neighbors who had heard the children crying from hunger. When he entered with the basket, the children tore it from his hands and began de- vouring the food. The mother stopped them, and parceled out small amounts to make the supply last longer. Mrs. Solven said Tuesday to a Post- Dispatch reporter that she had not 1 cent of money, and owed a month's rent on the small back room on the third floor of a rooming house at 123 Olive street, where she its living with the four children. She believes if she can get money for a ticket to Chicago she can find her husband, who will care for her and the children. The children are from 1% to 7 years old. Mrs. Solven says her husband sends her money ex- cept when he is under the influence of liquor, and then. he seems to forget his family. SUPREME COURT HOLDS TRACKS CAN BE LAID ON SECOND STREET Manufacturers’ Railway Wins Suit to Operate Trains to Potomac Street. The right of the Manufacturers’ Rail- way to construct_a track from Poplar street south on Second to Potomac street and operate trains thereon was held to be valid in an opinion handed down by Judge Fox of the State Su- preme Court at Jefferson City Tues- day. The other judges concurred. The track in question is to be single track and about two and one-half miles in length. The action, an equity suit, was insti- tuted aaginst the railway company by the Seibel-Suessdorf Copper and [Iron Manufacturing Co. and other property owners along the route to prevent the railroad from occupying the right of way under the terms of an ordinance of April, 1905. The property owners contended the building of the track and the occupan- cy of the street would interfere with traffic’ and greatly damage their prop- erty. The trial court dismissed the pe- tition, Judge Fox says there ts no evidence to show that the ordinance wap illegal or that the property would be damaged by the laying of the track or the opera-}. tion of trains thereon. PERJURY TRIAL OF COMPANIONS OF LEO GARDNER I$ PUT OFF Accused of False Testimony in Connection With Auto Killing Inquiry. George P. Bohn and Herbert J.

The cases were laid over to the October term of court. Motions to quash the _ indictments against the young men will be argued Friday.

Speaker Cannon is the meanest man God ever permitted to live,” said Congressman Clayton of Alabama, speaking here on Cannonism before a convention of mer- *hants from Georgia, Alabama and Florida. “Of course,”” Clayton continued, “I mean Cannon is the meanest man po- litically, but mean as he ts, I think he is better than the Insurgents. “I have far more respect for Cannon than I have for the insurgents. An jin: surgent has not the manhood to be a Democrat; he is too much of a coward, but he realizes that people are sick of Republican misrule. The insurgent js willing to tear down the chosen leader of his party and refuses to aid in car- rying out the policies of his party.” ZEPPELIN'S PLANT IS WRECKED Several Injured When Explosion -Demolishes Airship Works.

Special Cable to the Post- Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1910, by the Pre iNew York We a Pub. Co. MILAN, Italy, July: hee extracr- dinary frankness, Enrico Caruso, the pworld-applauded tenor, and Mme. Ada Giachetti, a soprano, described their too brief voyage on the high*seas of tem- porary matrimony. Mme. Giachetti, it will be recalled, was known aS Mme. Caruso ‘for. several years. She paid Caruso an unwelcome visit when he was singing at the New York Metropolitan Opera House in the winter of 19099 Then Caruso put his foot on the soft pedal, put a muffler on Mme. Giachetti’s E string reproaches to the tune of $20,000 and she took the next steamer from New York. As these dispatches have told Mme. Giachetti brought suits here against Ca- ruso and Signora Carlotta Carignani, who keeps a boarding house for opera singers and is said'to be a good friend of Caruso. Mme: Giachetti alleged that Signora Carignani- withheld a letter from Giateno Loria, her secretary, when in New York, ad lost her a contract with Oscar Hammerstein to sing at the Man- hattan Opera House for $3000 a month. Accused Madam of Libel, Caruso and Signora Carignani entered counter’suit declaring Mme. Giachetti’s charge to be libelous and calumnous. Today the suits were transferred from the civil to the criminal court. Caruso filed an affidavit in which any librettist will find ample material for an opera dealing with the upward and downward scale of human affection, more particu- larly human affection on the operatic stage. Caruso swears that he met Mme. Gia- chetti in Leghorn in 1897, and that she agreed to associate herself with him off the stage. They came to live here and their idyl, running the gamut of happl!- ness, lasted 10 years. Then, Caruso sets forth, Mme. Gia- chetti took a fancy to his chauffeur, Caesare Romati, whose only note was emitted by pressing the bulb of an au- tomobile horn. Hears of His Rival. Caruso, singing in New York, “heard of this affair, satled for Englard and went straight to Florence, where he had established .‘“‘Mme, Caruso”. at a fine villa. Caruso found the belongings left to him and the estate in great dis- order. Mme. Giachetti and Chauffeur Romati had fled to Nice in Caruso’s motur car de luxe. He followed and found them installed in the Villa Les Pines at Nice. At a stormy interview, Caruso states, Mme. Giachetti refysed to restore to him their second child unless Caruso would count out half a million francs on the table before them. A reconciliation was effected between Mme. Giachetti and her muSical affin- ity, whereupon Caruso engaged a la-v- yer to pursue the chauffeur and get from him a bundle of love letters which Mme. Giachetti had written to the chauffeur. Mme. Giachetti, according to Caruso, insisted that in order to recover the letters, she must accompany the law- yer. They reached Brescia in July, and Mme. Giachetti flung her arms around Romati and vowed that, however rocky the road ahead, she never would leave him. Affinity Comes to New York. Next, sav.. when he was sing- ing at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York he received. a _ letter from Signora Carignani, at whose boarding house Mme, Gjachetti was staying, in- terceding for the heroine of his opera- tragedy. He replied, refusing to have any more dealings with Mme. Giachet- ti. Fut in vanuary, 1909, she appeared at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York, where he was staying. Accom- panying her was. Signora Carignani’s husband. “The result York which became notorious,’ Car He premised that if she would go to Italy and behave herself for s!x months he would give her a $30,000 house there, $49.000 to furnish it and an silowance of $1000 a month.

By Long-Distance Telephone to the Post-Dispatch, MATTOON, Ill, July 19.—T. D. Slater, president of the Village Board and of six miles west of Mattoon, is missing, and so is $17,000 or more of the bank’s assets. The doors of the bank are closed today, while an the Bank of Gays, accountant goes over the books, under the eye of J. E. Jennings, receiver. Mrs. Elizabeth Jeffries, cashier and only employe of the bank, discovered the shortage in the accounts nearly a week ago, in balancing the cash after Slater had departed on what he said was a business trip. There was $700 un- accounted for. , She notified John M. Powers of Oak- land, Ill., co-partner, and L. A. Slater of Palestine, Ill., brother of the presi- dent, and they went to Gays to as- sist her in a partial investigation of the books. Partnership Not Dissolved. It was discovered, according to Mrs. Jeffries, that at least $17,000 of the funds were missing. Powers then decided to ask fora receiver and a dissolution of the partnership. Judge Cochran yes- terday granted the application for a re- ceivership, but refused to dissolve the partnership. | ‘The liabilities over the assets of the bank are estimated at $18,000. Powers is reputed to be worth $100,000, and un- der the Illinois law governing private banking houses, he {is fully liable. Re- ceiver Jennings said today that he ex- pects to pay every depositor in full, but that it would be several days before the affairs of the bank could be untangled. There are! about 200 depositors, who entrusted about $35,000 to the bank. Family Unable to Explain. When Slater left the bank he told Mrs. Jeffries he was going to Dwight, Ill. It has been found since that he did not go there, and no trace has been found of him. He left a wife and children in Mattoon, who say they are as much mystifled as anybody else by his @isappearance. What he did with the money, if he took it, is in doubt. It is not known that he speculated. Slater is 40 years old, and has been one of the most prominent business men in this section of Illinois. CAR REPORTS SHOW THE RATIO OF STRAPHANGERS IS FIXED Figures Filed) With Register Prove Crowded Conditions Are Unchanged. Figures submitted by the United Rail- ways Co. to the City Register show -hat the company is following closely its fig- ures of a year ago as to the proportion of car trips to.passengers. This would indicate that the ration of straphang- ers is a fixed one. During the second quarter of 1910, the report shows, the company hauled 56,- 335,134 passengers in 1,627,926 trips. Divi- sion shows this to be an average OF 56.87 passengers for each trip. During the second quarter of 1909, last year’s report shows, 54,362,684 were hauled on 1,472,900 trips. This ig an av- erage Of 36.90 passengers a trip, or three passengers more for every hundred trips than this year—a difference too slight to be noticed even in rush hours. But the.number of cars used this year Was only a little larger than that ol last year, the figures being 1069 in 1910 and 1026 in 1909. SRIDIRON STAR LOSES FOOT Deatheridge of M. U.

MOVING PICTURE MAN FINDS $00,000 AND RETURNS IT Frank. Talbot’s

Discovery Was Mostly in Paper, but | There Were 33 Dollars. The moving picture drama ‘“Gratti- tude,” was enacted when Frank Tal- bot, moving picture manager, met C. Hanson, man of money; in. the office of George W. Galbreath, cashier of the Third National Bank, Tuesday, and turned over to him more than $50,000 in “‘paper’’ and $33 in real money, which Hanson had lost and Talbot had found. Hanson wanted to do the handsome thing, but Mr. Talbot beat him to it. ” “Honesty is its own reward,”’ quotl Talbot, moving picture man—and no press agent was nigh. Hanson was for keeping it out of the papers, but Talbot was willing to tell about it. Monday evening at 6 o’clock Talbot found a well-worn pocketbook in front of a moving picture show on Washing- ton avenue. It was bulging with papers. There were certificates of deposit of the Farmers’ Bank, at Conway, Mo., where Hanson lives, owns property and conducts a mercantile business; nego- tiable paper of the Third National Bank, St. Louis, and a certificate of deposit in the Copenhagen Bank for 13337638 kronens. The amount was not punctu- ated, and it was hard to tell from the figures whether the amount was mil- lions or decimals, but Talbot has since figured out that it stood for $20,000 United States money. And then there were a lot of individual notes and the $33, not to speak of a few thousand dol- lars’ worth of mortgages and contracts and s0 on. Talbot notified the police. Later he found ‘a receipt showing that Hanson had stopped at the Edison Hotel. He called up there along toward midnight and got Hanson on the wire. He had returned to the hotel about 11 o'clock from a tour of the moving picture shows and a trip to one of the gardens, had discovered his loss and was in great distress. He told Talbot Cashier Galbreath could identify him* and it was agreed that they should meet at the bank at 10 o’clock. They met and the cash and securities were turned over, to Han- son’s great joy and Talbot’s conscious recitude. An official of the Farmers’ Bank at Conway informed the Post-Dispatch by telephone that Hanson conducts a fur- niture business, owns several hundred acres of land and is a man of consider- able wealth and high standing in his community.

Now. Husband Who Trusted Her Too Much and Believes Her Loyal Despite Her Con- fession Will Stand by

By MAGUERITE MARTYN. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 1. VAY HY did you coniess to kiling John: O’Connor?” “Why, because they had HIM under arrest.’’ her husband.) (‘‘Him,”” meaning “Why did you kill John O”’Connor?” “He,” (meaning her husband) “‘would have done it if I hada’t. He had killed a man once before and I knew how it would go with him.” This conversation at the Count? Jail was between inyself and Mrs. Frank M. Stout, confessed murceress of John ©C’Connor, outlines what presumably will be the defense she will offer at her trial, although attorneys have not as yet been retained and nothing definitely has been decided upon. It is a sadly tangled web of accusa- tions from which Mrs, Stout must ex- tricate herself. She is a keen, alert little person, 45 frail and slight as any perfectly healthy woman of 40 T have ever known. She is fragile, delicate, possessed of a cer- tain refinement, and has notions of pro- priety and shrinks from publicity. Woman Slayer Is Stotcal as She Sits in Her Cell. ET she does not give way to tears Y or other signs of weakness in jail. And last Friday night she walked a tedious three-quarters of a mile, clifibing fenc es and scrambling through underbrush with a revolver to shoot the rough Deputy Game Warden in the back. She had tried three other times recently to “get him,” she says, but had not been successful. Previously she had asked him by tele- phone if his clandestine visits to her cottage during her: husband's nightly absence at his roundhouse duty had ceased. O'Connor had assured yr er they had, since her husbard had threatened to vil! him if they didn’t. Now Mrs. exclaims with’ infinite scorn end evt- dence of self-richteousness: “He won't ruin anv more homes.’ That te'enhone message is regarded by some as the most incriminating cir- rumetance against Mrs. Stout. Tt is after you know her husband that her conduct ts the more inexplicable, unless you take into account a certain characteristic of perversity I have sometimes observed, with due shame fn my sex. Then her four years’ du- Plicity she acknowledges is explained simply by the circumstance that her husband was too unfailingly good te her. is a tall, F built man, masterful enough. He has ® man’s code of hener about eccepting his friende RANK STOUT well- Stout-~ looking

upon their own apparent valuation. For years John O'Connor had been a frequent and welcome visitor in neighborly fashion to his home. It was easy to deceive Stout, for he would not see, although his wife intimates she gave him opportunities to see, that she was too attractive to his friend. His efforts to be fair and square to the man he trusted too far are noticeable even now. It was only a little while ago, June 29, that Stout's suspicions were aroused. He had come home unexpectedly at midnight. Seated at the supper table, he heard a knock at the door. His wife urged him to answer it. He did and Continued on Page 2, Column 3.
