BAUSEWG SENSAIIUN CHAIRMAN “OF PEORIA SCHOOL BOARD INDICTED FOR CRIM- INAL NEGLIGENCE. i OTHER MEMBERS SEVERELY CENSURED s FORTY-THREE ADDITIONAL TRUE BILLS AGAINST NEWTON C. DOUGHERTY. Peoria, I1L, Octi 14.—The grand jury returned a final report during the day with a tfue bill against Oliver J. Bailey, chairman of the finance com- mitiee of the Peoria school board, holding him on the charge of “mal- feasance of officq failing and neglect- ing to perform his duties as such pub- lic officer and suffering and permitting -ene Newton C. Dougherty to misap. propriate and_unlawfully convert to Lis own use the school moneys to a large amount and neglecting and fail- ing to perform his dutles as such pub lic officer by permitting the payment of school moneys and funds for school purpeses to Newton C. Dougherty, the said Dougherty being a person mnot le- | gally authorized to receive the same.” This is the way the indictment reads and the returning of the document has caused a sensation ' in Peoria. Mr. Bailey is one of the wealthiest men in this city, president of the Dime Sav- ings bank, a director in the Central National bank and an officer in many other financial institutions.” As chair- man of the finance committee of the school board it is clalmed that he was negligent and allowed Dougherty to misappropriate thousands of dollars cf the public funds. In addition to the Bailey indictment the jury censured the:entire board ior *“‘criminal negligence in administering the affairs of the city schools.” Forty-three additional indictments were also returned against Douglierty for embezzlement and forgery.

Lines, for fifty-one vears bookkeeper and officer of the bank, is dead at his home. Mr. Lines resigned his position with the bank on Jan. 1 last, but has re- tained his connection as a stockholder and director. From the time that the alleged machinations of Professor Dougherty became known Mr. Lines began to sink, He attended the meetings of the board of directors up to Wednesday night, when he was so weak and feeble from the strain the disclosures had caused that he was scarcely more than able to be present. He did not take any part in the deliberations, but sat with his fhiead buried in /his hands, the plctufe of abject despalr. MURDERED BY THE MAFIA. Information Concerning Killing of a Wealthy Italian. New York, Oct. 14—That Gaetano Costa was murdered in his butcher. shop in Brooklyn on Wednesday night, not because he had refused to accedc to blackmailing demands fer money but as the result of 4 political plot in- spired in Sicily eight years ago by the Mafia, executed by its agents of the Black Hand society in this country, and to which at least seven other lives had already been sacrificed in various parts of the country, is the remarkable revelation made to the police. According to information given by a fellow countryman and former asso- ciate of the dead man Costa was one of a band of a dozen or more wealthy Sicilians, included among whom were his two brothers, who for daring to oppose a dominant political faction closely allied with the Mafila were driven across the seas, pursued with a relentlessness that has been hindered by neither time nor distance and sys- tematically put'to death whenever an opportunily to escape detection offered.

BETAILS OF LIFE’S HISTORY DIVULGED ‘WITNESS AT TIMES DRIVEN TO | THE DECLARATION THAT HE COULD NOT ANSWER. Milwaukee, Oct. 14.—Few men have been subjected to a cross examination as severe as that which is being ad- ministered to Jacob Heyl by James G. Flanders, attorney for Emil Schan- dein and Mrs. Louis F. Frank, con- testants of the will of their mother, Mrs. Lisette Schandein. The man, who is accused of using undue influence on his mother-in:law with the result that she gave most of her millions to his wife, is being com- pelled to divulge all of the details of his life’s history—even to the thoughts which have not been spoken. Mr. Flanders has been unsparing of the man who came to America a penniless boy in 1874, who has received $1,500,- 000 from his benefactress and who married two of her daughters with the result he is now the husband of the residuary legatee of the Schandein fortune. In his face and in his manner Mr. Heyl shows the eflects of the long fight which has centered about him. Pre- pared, as few witnesses are, for the ordeal which has fallen to his fate it has taken all the mental concentration at_his command.. With the eyes of Judge Carpenter seldom off him Heyl has given his version of the incidents testified to by the witnesses for the contestants to the will. At times the merciless questions directed at Heyl have driven him to the declaration that he could not answer. Letters of Emil Schandein and Mrs. Frank, under the control of Heyl, were demanded from him during the day-by Mr. Flanders. The attorney also asked that additional letfers written to Mr. Heyl by his mother-in-law be intro- duced In evidence. INSURANCE OFFICIALS. New York Merchants’ Association De- mands Action.

The association also asks that civil action be insti- | tuted by the state attorney general looking to the restitution of the money so-contributed. In addition to the adoption of the resolutions the Merchants’ association announced “that District Attorney Jerome would be requested to recon- sider his determination not to ask for an extraordinary session of the grand jury to consider the matler at this time. Charles E. Hughes, counsel to the legislative insurance inquiry, and Sam- uel Untermeyer, counsel to James H. .Hyde, had a conference in Mr, Hughes’ office. ~While neither lawyer would discuss the matter it is said as a re- sult of the meeting Mr. Hyde probably ‘will appear voluntarily as a witness before the investigating committee, Souvenir Envelopes OF Bemidji on sale .at Pioneer Office Opposite Post Office also at City Drug Store ENGLAND MAKES DENIAL. 8aid to Have Sent Communication to Germany.

Grawlng Impatience in French Officlal Circles. Pnrls. Oct. 14.—Officlal quarters here show growing impatience at President Castro’s failure thus far to withdraw his offensive action toward M. Taigny, the French charge d’affaires at Ca- racas. Although no definite determina. tion has been reached intimations are made that the situation may not per- mit of indefinite delay, ds President Castro’s inaction, amounting to a re- fusal to withdraw his offensive action, may lead French public opinion to're- quire the government to adopt more decisive measures to redress the of- fense. The Patrie publishes a dispatch from Lorient saying that the French cruiser Chasseloup-Laubat, which has re turned there from Newfoundland, will not be disarmed as was intended, “as she willemake part of a naval division which is going to be formed for the purpose of making a demonstration in Venezuelan wats The cruiser has Just completed a that she can steam nineteen knots.” The foregoing is not confirmed In official quarters here, but seems to ac- cord with the~srowing feeling of im- patience among the officials and the imations that decisive action will not Tong be deferred.
