BOSTON, Mass.,, Sept. 26.—Harry W. Clarke, the father of Wilbur Clarke, the | 3-year-old boy who was stolen on June 17 last, has received a letter purporting to come from the kidnapers, offering to return the boy upon receipt of $6500. Clarke, who is an official of the Boston and Maine Railroad and who lives in Beverly, this State, was at his summer liome on the shores of Chebaco Lake in x when the boy was stolen on June ince then Clarke has received several letters, most of them mailed in the vicin- ity of Boston. Within a month two letters arrived, one coming from Chicago and the other from Kansas City. Both of these are signed “Gilbert and otbers.” They are in the same handwriting, which, though materially different, bears some similarity to the chirography of the let- ters mailed near Boston. The second letter mailed from Kansas City gives the information that the kid- napers and the boy are bound south, toward Oklahoma and Texas. The Kid- napers direct Clarke to proceed alone to Chicago and deposit the money, alone, in a certain building at a certain time. Clarke’s acquiescence to the terms of these letters is to be printed in the Bos- ton Herald. This is to be in the nature of 2 personal and its wording will be so veiled that nobody not in the secret would have any suspicion regarding the pro- posals of the kidnapers. Clarke has said heretofore that he would not neglect any opportunity to re- gain his only child and is willing to pay eny amount for his restoration. There- fore Clarke’s friends have no hesitancy in seying that he will undoubtedly comply with the terms of his correspondents. Disobedient Officer Dismissed. NANTES, France, Sept. 26.—Command- ant Leroy Laduric of the Nineteenth In- fantry, who on August 18 was placed un- der arrest for refusing tp obey an order to aid in closing unauthorized schools, has been tried by court-martial and dis- missed from the service. Laduric admit- ted the charge of disobedience, but de- clared that his conscience forbade him to participate in antl-religious measures and evicting women, which he did not consider to be duties of the army. e Piles Cured Without the Knife.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 26.—The | fight for possession of the estate of the late W. 8. Stratton began to-day in a rather sensational manner. Late last night, without noticing the executors named by thé will, Judge Orr of the County Court, in compliance with the petition of the contestor, 1. Harry Stratton, son of the dead millionaire, ap- pointed three administrators ‘to collect the estate. They are C. C. Hanilin, H. M. Blackmer and O. P. Grimes. Hamlin is a son-in-law of Judge Gunnell, leading attorney for the contestor, and Grimes is a brother-in-law of Judge Orr, who ap- pointed them. Their bonds in the sum | of $8,000,000 were filed at once. Henry McAllister Jr., attorney for the executors named in the will, protested against the appointments by the court, but this afternoon the bonds of the ad- ministrators were approved and they im- mediately assumed their duties. Demands for possession of the personal property of Stratton were made on Mc- Allister Jr. and on Willlam Lloyd, private secretary of the late millionaire. Both men refused to recognize the administra- tors in any way. The position of the executors is that no persons can be appointed administra- tors of the estate to collect as long as the duties of the executorship remain unfilled and the will is not declared void. The ad- ministrators will to-morrow report their failure to secure possession of the estate and it is understood that the executors, who are Tyson 8. Dines of Denver, Dr. D. H. Rice of this city and Carl 8. Cham- berlain of Brooklyn, as well as Attorney McAllister and Secretary Lloyd, will be cited to the County Court for contempt. It is said to be the plan of the execu- tors to apply to the District Court for a writ of habeas corpus and they thus hope to remove the whole case from the County Court. Idaho Prison Warden Ousted. BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 26.—The State Pris- on Board to-day, after an exhaustive in- vestigation, called for the resignation of Warden C. E. Arney. By the votes of the Governor and Secretary of State he ‘was acquitted of the charge of dishonesty and by the votes of the Governor and Attorney General his resignation was called for on the ground that he had vio- lated the law in working trusties and prison teams on his brother’s ranch.

TONDON, Eept. 27.—The Daily News, in announcing that General Botha has cor- dially and unreservedly agreed to Arnold White's conditions as to the administra- tion of the gift of $100,000 by Henry Phipps of New York to destitute Boers, under which the gift will be applied solely to ‘widows and orphans, suggests to its read- ers that it would be better for English- men to swell the Phipps fund than to aim at separate benevolence, & 7€ CORMICH .Zflig.xzezpoz (=4 Pt N g + TING THE UNITED STATES AT EUROPE TIZIL S TIER o J‘WJ_"ZZ.«PM/yp + 4 DIPLOMATS WHO WILL REP- RESENT AMERICA AS EM- BASSADORS AND MINISTERS, WOMAN PREFERS WILL ALLOTMENT Laura Biggar Will ENot Fight for Bennett's Money. LONG BRANCH, N. J., Sept. 26.—The | contest of Laura Biggar for the estate of Henry M. Bennett, 2 Rittsburg capitalist, was withdrawn in court here to-day. When the case was called C. C. Hen- drieks, counsel for -Miss Biggar, an- nounced that he desired to discontinue the contest. “My client,” he sald, “has signified her readiness to rest content with the pro- vision made for her by the will.."” A representative of Peter G. McNulty, one of the heirs, made the following an- nouncement to the court: ‘“‘There are warrants out charging Laura Biggar, Samuel Stanton and C. C. Hen- dricks with conspiracy. Miss Biggar is not here, but the other two are here and the warrants will be served at once. I ap- prise your Honor of this so that you may fix bail.” The two were arrested and bail was fixed at $5000 in each case. Stanton is the Justice of the Peace who, it is alleged, sald he had married-Miss Biggar to Ben- nett. C. C. Hendricks, Miss Biggar's at- torney, is a physician and owner of a sanitarium. Miss Biggar asserted that a child, of which Bennett was the father, had been born to her in Dr. Hendricks' sanitarium. The present case first came up in court before Judge Wilbur A. Hoisley last Fri- | day, when a motion was made to set aside the probate of the will. Miss Biggar was a beneficiary under that document, but if the truth of her statement about her mar- riage to Bennett and the birth of the baby were demonstrated she would be the legal heir to the entire estate. According to her claim the baby died fifteen days after its birth. The estate is said to be worth more than $1,000,000. ‘When the warrants were served Stan- ton and Hendricks asked for an imme- diate hearing. The coniplainants were not prepared, their counsel said, to go on with the case immediately, but the de- fendants insisted on having a hearing at once and the court decided that they were acting within their rights. The hear- ing on the alleged conspiracy case was accordingly begun. Among the first witnesses to be called to the stand was John F. Hawkins, who drew Bennett's will.” Mr. Hawkins tes- tified that on one occasion Miss Biggar had remarked in his presence that if she was not®taken care of in the will she would sue the estate for her long ser- vices in caring for Bennett during his ill- ness or else bring suit as Bennett's com- mon law wife. o Peter J. McNulty, the executor, whe filed the complaint alleging conspiraey, also testified. McNulty was employed by Bennett. He testified that he had an in- terview with Stanton in Hoboken with reference to the alleged marriage of Migs Biggar and Bennett. 3 MISS BIGGAR _EY LOSE. PITTSBURG, Sept. 26.—The sudden and eensational turn of affairs to-day in the i AMY PREISES HERQIG NURSE General Chaffee’s Orders Commend Miss Alice Kemmer. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—For her heroic devotion to a self-imposed duty in caring for two smallpox patients MiSs Alice Kemmer of the Army Nurse Corps has been officlally commended in orders from the headquarters of the Division of the Philippines. She had been granted a leave of absence, but voluntarily relin- quished it and took upon herself the care of an officer’s wife and an enlisted sol- dier suffering with smallpox in an iso- lated hospita® at Manila. Miss Kemmer never had the disease, but she slept in the same room with the army officer's wife and the enlisted man lay in an ad- joining foom. Throughout April and May, of intense heat, when she seldom h: two hours’ sleep at a time, she attended to the wants of her patients night and day. Miss Kemmer has a splendid record. She entered the service as a contract nurse in 1888 and was at the army camps at_Chickamauga, Savannah and Jackson- villg, at Havana and in the China cam- paign, at Tientsin and Peking and later in the Philippines. Her work has always been of a high character and most of the time of her service has been in the field. Collision oni Mountain Grade. LIVINGSTON, Mont., Sept. 26.—A run- away Northern Pacific engine on & moun- tain grade near here this morning crashed into another engine bound in another di- rection in which was Engineer Owens, who was fatally burned, and Fireman Hose, who was seriously injured. The engineer dled a few hours later. Defec- tive brakes were supposed to have caused the accident. e e ] ) contest at Long Branch, N. J, of the will of the late Henry M. Bennett by ieura Biggar did not surprise these in Pittsburg, who, with Miss Biggar, were beneficiaries under the will. Both J. W. Platt, one of the executors of the will, and R. M. Gulick, who was a partner of Bennett, and both of whom were on intimate terms with him, were much sur- prised at the clalm of Miss Biggar that she had been married to Bennett. Both said that at no time had Bennett men- rioned to them the occurrence of such an event. In behalf of Miss Biggar, it is stated that since the death of Bennett her con- dition has not been such as to allow of her being held responsible for her own actions; notwithstanding this, however, it 1s believed here that Miss Biggar's action in contesting the will, in which it was stipulated that all contestants would lose their share of the estate, will deprive her of what Bennett really meant she should have. Miss Biggar and Mr. Bennett first met here in May, 1902, when she appeared at the Bijou as Iza in the ‘“Clemenceau Case.” Bennett lost his wife in 1897, and from that time on he and Miss Biggar were close associates. During Bennett's filness in the fall of 1900, when it became necessary to amputate one of his legs, Miss Biggar was his constant attendant 2nd nurse, and he insisted on having her near him all the time.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26.—The June Grand Jury met this afternoon for ifs final ses- sion, several witnesses being present to testify. It is said that the report of the body will be sent to the court next Mon- day, and several boodle indictments are expected as a resuit of the findings. The Grand Jury convened September 8 to hear the disclosures of Delegate J. K. Murrell that revealed the workings of the House of Delegates’ combine. The inves- tigations of thesjury, according to Mur- rell’s disclosures, have resulted in the indictment of nineteen delegates and for- mer delegatés and the arrest of all but six, who are fugitives from justice. The Grand Jury’s investigation has been mainly along the line suggested by the confession of Murrell, looking toward the discovery of the identity of the bribe- givers, the men who are sald to have furnished Delegate Kelly with the $47,500 which he is alleged to have distributed to the nineteen members of the combine whose votes for the lighting bill were bought. THE MYSTERIOUS CHECKS. At the request of Circuit Attorney Folk Judge Douglas in the Circuit Court issued a subpena duces tecum, commanding one of the employes of James Campbeil, a well-known broker, to bring into court two checks for sums aggregating $47,500, drawn by him in favor of Ed Butler. Broker Campbell is out of the city. These checks, one for $27,500 and the other for $20,000, are dated November 28, 1899, the day on which the lighting bill was passed, for which Delegate Charles F. Kelly is said to have distributed $47,500 to the house combine at Delegate Julius Leh- mann’s birthday party. Broker Camp- bell's employe will be asked to explain the purpose for which the two checks were drawn. v John K. Murrell stated on his return frcm Mexico that at the “birthday™ $47,500 had been distributed by Charles F. Kelly to the house combine, numbering nine- teen members, each receiving §2500. On this information Kelly and several other colleagues of Murrell were indicted. All are now charged with bribery, both in this case and in the suburban bill safe deposit case. SEARCH OF THE BANKS. The checks were traced by Folk after a thorough canvass of St. Louis banks. This canvass was recently made by a committee of {he Grand Jury to save the banks the inconvenience of taking all their books before the Grand Jury. The checks were found to have been duly drawn, pald and returned to Campbell. The lighting bill was passed in the City Council October 27, 1899, and in the House of Delegates on November 23 following. Shortly after the passage of the bill by the House came Lehmann’s “birthday party.” The eighteen members of the House of Delegates who changed their votes on the blll after its defeat at first, together with Robertson, who was absent ‘when it was defeated, but who voted for jits passage, are the same men who are now indicted on the charge of accepting the $47,500 bribe. It has been Folk's endeavor to secure convicting evidence against the givers of the bribe. Hence the State's anxiety to find Kelly, who is rated as of more im- iportance than the other fugitives. The bill provided for the illumination of the greater part of the city by incandescent imsntel lamps, the system now In use. | Broker Campbell is out of the city at the present time and just when he will return is indefinite, according to state- ments made at his office to-day. Montana Labor Party flmhuu.. HELENA, Mont., Sept. 26.—Martin Dee was to-day nominated for Congress by the State Convention of the Labor party. The conference committee will effect a fusion with the Heinze forces in the nam- ing of the nominee for Assoclate Justice of the State Supreme bench. » AN COURTS + RUSSIA DELAYS HER APPROVAL Foreign Office Has Not Acted on Rouma- nian Note. Czar’s Ministers Leave Initi- ative to the Other Powers. SR ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 26.—The Rus- sian Foreign Office has not yet acted on Secretary Hay’s note regarding the Rou- manian Jews and does not anticipate practical results therefrom. Apparently Russia Intends to leave the initiative 1o the other signatories, as the question is regarded as an internal affair of Rou- mania. The Government of Russia is not in- clined to insist on the performance of the Berlin treaty. It is peinted out that even if the powers acquiesced to Secretary Hay’s proposal Roumania could always claim that her anti-Semitic legislation was non-religious and purely economic. LONDON, Sept. 26.—Thus far the Brit- ish Government has received no replies from the signatories of the Berlin treaty to its note st goorting Secretary Hay's ini- tiative in the yuestion of th¥ treatment of the Roumanian Jews. The Government of Roumania, however, through its Min- ister in London, has submitted a long ex- position of the situation from the Rou- manian standpoint, explaining that the Government is not in a position to pre- vent the immigration of Jews and ask- irg whether the views of the British Gov. ernment coincide with those of the Amer- ican Secretary of State. OFFICIALS WILL GATHER IN IRRIGATION CONGRESS Notable Men of the Nation Are to Take Part in Important Session. COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 2%.—Gov- ernor James B. Orman to-day announced his intention of belng present to open the Natlonal Irrigation Congress that begins in this city October 6. The headquarters of the local committee on arrangements is being daily flocded with mail from all sections of the West relative to the Con- gress and what it is going to accomplish, there being very numerous declarations of intentions to be present. A strong indication of the national ine terest that is being taken in the Congress lies in the number of newspaper corre- spondents and public officials that will be here. The local secretary has informa- tion from several Chicago and New York papers that they will have special writ- ers present. The Department of Agricult- ure is also to be officially represented. REDRERS ol ks STEEL TRUST WINS BIG VICTORY IN COURT New Jersey Justice Renders Impor- tant Decision in the Miriam Berger Case. TRENTON, N. J., Sept. 26.—Justice Van Sickle of the Court of Errors and Ap- peals to-day filed a written opinion n the’ United States Steel Corporation case that. was recently decided by the court in the corporation’s favor. The case be- fore the court was the suit instituted by Mrs. Miriam Berger. The opinfon flled to-day sustains the constitutionality of the act of last win- ter under which the corporation under- took to convert $200,000,000 worth of pre- ferred stock into a like amount of bonds. The opinion also holds that the procedure followed by the corporation in carrying out the conversion plan was fully au- thorized by the general corporation act. This is a complete victory for the United States Steel Corporation. ADVERTISEMENTS. What Are Fumors? They are vitiated or morbid flulds cours- ing the veins and affecting the tissues.
