Notwithstanding the weather the | Central Theater was comfortably filled on the first presentation of “She” last night and the auspicious opening as- | sures a large attendance during the week.

General Funston says: “There can be scarcely a doubt that such action would bring into the army a vastly superior body of men who would remain in the service. It is btful if an increase over present rates of pay of 50 per cent for non- ccmmissioned officers and 30 per cent for privates would be more expensive than under present rates when so much time and money are wasted in trying to make soldiers out of the in- ferjor class of men who constitute at least half of the rank and file of the army to-day.” General Funston says that the con- struction and maintenance of the Alaskan military line has been of ines- timable value in maintaining com- munication between department head- quarters and the various posts in Alaska. ——————— HORSE SALE IS DE TO ILOOK LIKE FUNCTION NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—At Madison- square Garden to-night, in the pres- ence of an assemblage never before equaled at a similar affair in point of | social and financial importance, Harry Payne Whitney, the eldest son of the late William C. Whitney, became the sole owner of the stallion Hawburg for §70,000, and other stallions and mares, including Sandringham for $14,000; Hadspun, dam of Tanya, for $22,000, and Endurance by Right, $16,000. For- ty-one head were sold, the total reach- ing $22 0, an average of $5481. Med- dler was not sold, it being considered wiser to divide the catalogue into two parts, reserving Meddler and others for to-night. Every foot of space in the mammoth inclosure was occupied. Men and women in evening dress were there in thousands. Prominent among the per- sons present were: Harry Payne Whit- ney and Mrs. Whitney, Payne Whit- ney, H. B. Duryea and Mrs. Duryea, Clarence H. Mackay, Joseph E. Wid- ener and Mrs. Widener, August Bel- mont, James B. Haggin, Perry Bel- mont and Mrs. Belmont, James R. Keene, De Courcey Forbes and Wil- llam K. Vanderbilt. In fact, the event partook largely of the nature of a function, more or less formal, and when the Whitney and Duryea party filed in and took seats in the front row of the reserved section, | many there were reminded of the sol- emn nature of the affair which made the sale the most notable in the an- nals of the last ten years. +* T s o ance ‘at the Chutes yesterday and filled the audiences with glee at both performances.

James and Bonnie Farley. whose lively skit, “The Messenger Boy was such a success last week, varied their act. The Ham- lins, singers and dancers, and Mabel Lamson, the popular singer of illus- trated songs, were well received. One of the brightest spots on the pro- gramme was the moving pictures shown on the biograph, ‘‘Personal,” showing the trials and tribulations of a French Count who advertised for a wife. The amateurs have many sur- prises in the way of living pictures in store for Thursday night. Tivoll. The initial production of “Der Ras- telbinder” was given at the Tivoll night to a good house.

SEEK REFUCE FROM BOYERS SHANGHAI, Oct. 11. — The British Minister, Sir Ernst Satow, has notified | the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Af- airs of an uprising in Tamingfu and P Chili and Honan provinces. The up- rising has ten thousand adherents. The foreign missionaries are seeking refuge. Yuan Shai Kai, Viceroy of the province of Chili, has given orders for the sup- pression of the uprising. Danger is apprehended in the prov- ince of Honan, where the officials are presumed to be ultra .conservative. General Ma, military Governor of the province of Chili, reports that the Mohammedans are showing symptoms f rebellion, and that the Russians are attempting to complicate the situation by dispatching troops for the protec- tion of Russian subjects. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has ! entered a protest and has requested | that the Russian troops be recalled. In the event of a serious protest against the Anglo-Tibetan treaty it is be- lieved that Sir Robert Hart will repre- sent China in the negotiations. AUTO ACCIDENTS.

The document concerns J. Morgan Smith, brother-in-law of the | accused woman, who is badly wanted | by the New York police. By Smith’s | evidence the District Attorney of New | York hopes to prove whence came the ! pistol with which Young was shot, the | suspicion being that it formerly longed to Smith and from him passed to Nan Patterson. Smith __and his shortly after the sh ooting, be- | 1 | wife disappeared | and while | the prosecution has been hopeful of | finding him and using him as a witness | it is nevertheless taking every possible precaution against his turning his evi- dence in favor of the defendant. A few months before the shooting | Smith was a habitue of the tenderloin | local French restaurant after district of San Francisco and figured in | a number of escapades, the most nota- ble of which was his connection with the will of Max H. Kershaw, a former resident of New York, who'died in a a long | i i | debauch. After Kershaw's death a will ' | Changtefu, on the border of Shantung, | was produced in court in which the former Harvard athlete and well- known Eastern clubman bequeathed the major portion of his share in his family estate to a woman who had been his associate for a number of months, and who, it was claimed, had | attended him during his last hours of illness. In the probating of this will, which was bitterly contested by Ker- shaw’s brother, Smith appeared as the principal witness, he having been pres- ent in Kershaw’s room when the will was executed and affixed his signature to it as a witness. During the court proceedings Smith was subjected to a severe grilling by the attorneys for the contesting broth- er and much of the disreputable ca- reer in this city was brought to light. Shortly after the trial Smith received from some mysterious source a sum of money, with which he bought a ticket to New York and hurried East. It is the testimony in that the District Attorney of New York | | the Kershaw case | intends to use should it be found neces- | sary to bring to light there the part played by Smith during his stay in this city. Tc obtain this data it was neces- sary for the New York officials to ap- peal to County Cl- - Greif, who fur- nished them with a certified copy of the testimony in the Kershaw case, which was forwarded yesterday to New York City SAYS SO TRIED 10 KILL WIFE LEXINGTON, Oct. 10.—Judge James M. Mulligan, whose wife and son, James, have each been accused seme way with having placed poison in a plate of salmon which was set before Mrs. Mulligan and two of her children two weeks ago, issued to-night a signed statement in which he exon- erates his wife from" all imputations and places the entiré blame on his son, James. He says he has never once considered as true the intimation of his son James on the witness stand that Mrs. Mulli- gan might have placed the poison in the salmon to cause further estrange- ment between him and his first wife's children. He says such a theory is - | | | 1 in | unfounded and that his favorite son. | Jumes, is the only cause of the trouble. | He declares that except for the fact that his son has taken advantage of his silence to try to shift the suspicion | of the public to his wife, he would have allowed the matter to drop although he knew that he would be taking des- perate chances. | Judge Mulligan says the negro Mitchell, who first made the matter | public, is a tool of his son. | The matter is now in the hands of the grand jury for investigation. e sult of deliberate intent to wreck the racers. ! The nails were discovered along the' Hempstead turnpike to-day by Herbert Dodge and Willam Morgan. Morgan stepped upon one hidden in the dust. So | pointed was the sliver of wire that it| penetrated the thick sole of his shoe. Then several pounds of nails were! found. Half a bushel of fragments of broken beer bottles were picked up | before the race at Elmont. | ——————— IRREGULARITIES IN SCHOOL FUNDS THROUGHOUT KANSAS GRAVES CHARGED .WITH E LURING GIRL FROM HOME | | Shortage Amounting to Thousands Discovered as the Result of an Examination.

Onderdonk, who came from Spo- kane, is a nephew of Bishop Onder- donk and has had a good reputation, though his father cut him off because he is said to have been a little wild, is accused of having worked the coast securing subscriptions for the World To-Day, a Chicago publication, and failed to turn over to the publishers money collected in advance, so that subscribers failed to get the maga- zine. The specific complaint is made by Dr. J. D. Chaffee of Long Beach at the instance of the Gruminaux News and Subscription Company. Onder- donk is said to have taken in and re- tained between $500 and $1000. Gt A g Fire Destroys Niter Plant.
