That the prosecutor took up the in- vestigation at all is being referred to by the newspapers as a serious mat- ter. Prince zu Hulenberg, who lives in almost feudal style, is 111 of neu- ritis. Physicians delegated by the government to examine him affirm that he is unable to travel, yet & dozen plain clothes officers watch the exits of the castle grounds day ahd night.

BIG VESSEL ASHORE. Heavy Seas Prevent Lifesavers Ren- dering Assistance. New York, May '\—The great four- masted German ship Peter Rickmers, which left New York Thursday for Rangoon loaded with case oil, was driven ashore on the south coast of Long Island in a terrific gale. A tre- mendous sea .was pounding on the beach and amid the blinding rain squalls which swept across the ocean only the flaring rockets sent up from the deck of the stranded vessel in nmle'ul for assistance gave information of the disaster. From the shore the sutline of the ship’s rigging could be dimly discerned by the flare of the rockets, but the vessel lay far beyond the reach of the Lyle gun used by the lifesaving crews to throw a line to a wrecked vessel. Ineffectual ef- forts were made by the lifesavers to Iaunch their boat in a terrific sea and when the attempt was abandoned the lifesaving patrols burned Coston sig- nals through the night to assure the seamen that help would come as soon as possible. The Rickmers was loaded with 117, 000 cases of oi) from the Standard Ofl company, worth $80,000. The vesse' is valued at $60,000. She carries a crew ot thirty or thirty-five men. ACCUSED OF BURGLARY. College Graduate and Traveler Under Arrest. San Francisco, May : \—“Dr.” W. W. Goelet, graduate of Columbia college and traveler, who was married to a young society woman of Oakland four months ago, is in the Berkeley city prison charged with the burglary of eight residences and apartment houses in Oakland and Berkeley. His name appeared on most of the hotel and apartment house registers as D. F. ‘Wythe, an alias he acknowledged. The Berkeley police department has had Goelet under suspicion for two weeks and by visiting the places robbed have obtained evidemce that they believe will hold him on several charges. Goelet’s method, according to the police, was to engage rooms in high class hotels and apartment houses, then plunder right and left. Some time ago he traveled with Benjamin Fay Mllls, the pulpit lecturer, as Mills’ private secretary. He had also been secrelary for Dr. Biddewolfe, a noted evangelist. Goelet is thirty-five years old, a native of Virginia. His parents, it is said, live in Washington, D. C. He was in the Spanish-American war, serving in the hospital corps in Cuba. WILL EXCEED $10,000. Booty Secured by Pennsylvania Train Robbers. Columbus, O., May :.—The St. Louis express on the Pennsylvania railroad, which was held up ten miles west of Pittsburg, arrived at the Union sta- tion here forty minutes late. The crew confirmed the story of the hold- up by two men at Walkers Mill and of the escape of the bandits. Besides four sealed mail bags the crew stated that a number of express packages and a quantity of gold bullion were taken,-but do not know the value of It is belleved, however, that the booty may exceed the esti- mate of $10,000 sent from Pittsburg. The officials of the Adams Express company here refused to make any statement. Noah H. Roshon of Columbus, the express messenger, say$ two men en- tered his car east of Walkers Mill and covered him with revolvers. Then they tied him with ropes they brought with them and rifled the car.

The press was all .but unanimous in-prais- ing Samival as an entirely original character whom none but a great gen- lus could have created.

DAVIS DEFIES PRESS TRUSTS SUBJECT OF TALK Commends President’s Course and De- clares Rockefeller, the Standard Oil Company and J. P. Morgan Should Be Indicted for Treason. Washington, May ;\—In the senate Benator Jeff Davis of Arkansas moved to discharfe the committee on the Jjudiciary from the further considera- tion of his bill “for the suppression of trusts, pools and combinations in trade.” He spoke for about two hours, reading most of the time from a type- written statement, which, he said, he had prepared in advance “that no in- temperate language might escape his lips on this ocoasion,” a thing which he said he had never done before. - During his speech he roundly de- nounced the trusts, commended the president’s recent message outlining measures for relief, spoke of the re- moval of the motto, “In God We Trust,” from the coins and declared that John D. Rockefeller, the Stand- ard Oil company and J. Pierpont Mor- gan should be indicted for treason. He also paid his respects to the press, his remarks in that conmection being as follows: “Let scavengers of plutocracy howl; truth, God's lving truth, where are its defenders? Miserable travesties upon noble manhood, postgraduates in all arts of slander or defamation, I challenge the subsidized press; the people know your designs and spurn your pretense, whether under show of apgument or more servient hypoc- rigies. Go! Damnable fmps of pelf and greed, I defy your taunts! Tear to fragments my political career if it comport with your execrable will. Stifle and distort my every utterance. Not satisfied, If Such Be Your Brutal Frenzy, lash my poor form into insensibility. Then, it it be your further pleasure, gnaw from my stiffening bones every vestige of quivering flesh. Howl in wretched bestiality through my owa innocent blood as it drips from your fiendish visages. Drag then, if you want, what remains into the flith and the vermin of your foul dens and burn it upen the altar of Baal or scatter it before the friendly winds of heaven 1o your betters—the carrion crows of (be fleld. All that they may do, all and more, if there yet be open further depth of infamy to a polluted, besot- ten press. These ready servants of greed, what have they not done or at- tempted to fasten still more securely an autocracy upon us? It seems to be their special function, not simply to pervert truth, but to threaten and terrorize public men. Dare a senator align himself with the people? What? Yes, men, illustrious servants of the people have lifted honest voices here and elsewhere against the march of plutocracy, to fall ambushed, polit- ically assassinated, and by whom? By the trusts wearing masks. Ah, sir, newspaper masks. But, Mr. President, insignificant as am I, if my political career be marked let them sharpen their blade, for I will be here at the appointed hour and while here only God can stay my veice in behalf of organized, united labor and the yeo- manry of America.” BISHOP POTTER ILL. Is Suffering From Breakdown Due to Overwork. New York, May ,.—Announcement is made that the Rjght Rev. Henry Codman Potter, bishop of the Episco- pal diocese of New York, is so seri- ously ill that he has been forced to abandon his participation in the af- fairs of the church. For a week Bishop Potter has been confined to his home suffering from the effects of a physical breakdown due to overwork. His condition, which by his physician and by those friends who have seen him, is admit- ted to be grave, has been made worse by atfacks of stomach and liver trou- ble. Bishop Potter is seventy-four years old and until the day his health gave way he insisted on doing as much werk as was done by men much younger and stronger. Workmen Observe May Day.

NOT DUE TO HIGHER WAGES Cost of Paper but Littte Affected by Pay of Employes. Washington, May .—According to figures submitted by John Norris, rep- resenling the American Newspaper Publishers’ association, to the select committee of the house on wood pulp and paper investigation regarding the increased labor cost per ton of paper ‘produced the increase amounted te but 52 cents a ton. In spite of state- ments of tho pa 4o the con. o e T e trary, he sald, Tils Calcuiation was cor- rect and yeot he charged that the pa- per .makers had put on an increased price of $12 a ton, alleging that the increase was due to the higher cost of labor. In the case of the Hudson River mill Mr. Norris presented data showing that even though the mill changed “from a two to a three-tour basis” the cost of production of paper actually had been reduced $1.13 per ton. It was, he said, a matter about which he had personal knowledge. . Mr. Norris, replying to questions by Mr. Mann, gave evidence showing that the average wage of union paper ‘workers in the state of New York for the third quarter of 1906 was $10.94 per week, which, he sald, was very low. He would not enter into a dis- cusgion with Mr. Mann as to the lat- ter’s suggestion that it appeared to be gbout time the wages should be in- creased. DE ARMOND LAUDS BRYAN Nebvaskan Declared to Be tke Logical Candidate. i ‘Washington, May ‘.—Represente- tive David De Armond of Missouri, in an address before the District of Co- lumbia Democratic association, de- clared that the people of Missouri look upon William J. Bryan as the logical candidate for the presidency and that Missouri’s delegates will sup- port him unanimously at the Denver convention. Mr. De Armond said in part: L= “Some people criticise Mr. Bryan and say: ‘He ran in 1896, he ran in 1900; he is the perpetual candidate; he is the man always to the front.’ ‘Whoever got there with less self seek- ing and is in more thorough accord with the wishes of those who fol- lowed him than Mr. Bryan? s -.“Is there anything wrong in his be- ing willing to stand again as the can- didate of his party if his party wants him? What ig he doing now, or what has he done to put himself in the way of the nomination at Denver, that any man can criticise? He stands as an honor to our American citizenship; he stands as one of the highest and noblest types of man—a Christian, pa- triotic gentleman.” Representative Hughes of New Jer- sey also spoke. He declared that there are probably 1,000 Democratic voters in his state who would oppose Mr. Bryan if nominated. The unin- structed delegation, he said, may sup- port the Nebraskan in the convention. SAID TO BE HOPELESS. Condition of Grover Cleveland Re- ported Most Serious. New York, May ;\—The Evening ‘World gives prominence to the follow- ing: There is a report current in finan- cfal circles, emanating from the offices of the Equitable Life Assurance soci- ety, that former President Grover Cleveland is a suiferer from cancer of the stomach and that his case has been pronounced hopeless by special- ists called in to consult him by Dr. Joseph D. Bryant of this city, the family physician. “Mr. Cleveland remains at the Lake- wood hotel in Lakewood, N. J., al- though the house closed for the sea- son ten days ago. His wife and chil- dren are the only other guests. “A physician and nurses are in con- stant attendance and a small staff of servants has been retained to look after the Cleveland family.” Efforts to confirm the KEvening ‘World’s statement that Mr. Cleveland is sufiering from cancer and that his condition is critical are unavailing owing to the extreme reticence ob- served by all connected with the case. At the Lakewood hotel later it was said that Mr. Cleveland was making very satisfactory progress and that there was no material change in. his condition. The report that the for- mer president’s case has assumed a grave aspect was denied.

These persons, he declared, were not willing witnesses. Mr. Norris said further that practically all the evidence he had furnished the committee had long ago been placed in the hands of the attorney general. “I' doubt,” he sald, “If it was even read.” Mr. Norris put in evidence a reso- lution from a labor union represent- ing 100,000 men expressing their hearty sympathy with the movement of the publishers against the paper makers.

DUE TO DleL CONDITIONS Labor Troubles in New England This Year.. X o Boston, May '.—May day In New Hngland, usually a day of industrial disturbances, was this year one of the most peaceful on record, due in part to the dull condition of business and the consequent over supply in the labor market. The only. strikes of magnitude in this section this spring, those in the. granite industry during March and April, which involved near- ly 10,000 men, have been adjusted. In the textile industry of New Hng- land about 40 per cent of the ma- chinery is idle, which hag the effect of keeping about 100,000 operatives idle or on short time.

The cotton cloth busi- ness continues poor, cotton yarns are in little demand and the indications point to a general curtailment during the summer months. BODY FOUND ON PRAIRIE. Believed to Be Remains of Bank Rob- 2 ber Wounded in Fight.
