Epecial Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, July 26.—The mysterious | quest of a secret service detectlve sent by President Roosevelt to Governors Island was explained to-day when Private James G. Jones, who has been | serving a term of imprisonment in Castle | William for desertion, was removed on & | special order and examined by the Board of Lunacy. | Although great secrecy was maintained, it was learned that Jones had been send- ing love letters to Miss Alice Rodsevelt from the vrison. He sent more than a score. In each of them he implored her to marry him, asserting that she could | be happy with no one else. The climax came when Jones sent a sharp note to Mre.

He de- | clared that if Mrs. Roosevelt would only | give her consent he would crown tne life | of the President's daughter with the happiness she craved. ! This letter was received at Oyster Bay last week and President Roosevelt fm- mediately dispatched one of his guard. of secret service men to investigate, giv- | him authority to act as he thought He had the soldier removed from fort prison by special order and transferred to the military hospital. | Jones Wwas under observation for several | but the doctors could not tell | A fu. re- | port of the investigation was sent to | President Roosevelt, and it is believed he advised the appointment of a lunacy board, for one was appointed a few days after he had been acquainted with the facts.

Special Dispatch to THe Call. : N NEW YORK, July 26.—Cardinal Gibbo spending the summer away down at the further ®nd of Iong Island, in the modest rectory of Father O'Hara, who is pastor of the local church. It was in the rectory of Father O'Hara's church that Car- dinal Gibbons explained to The Call correspondent what he fear- ed morally and financially from the present condition of the country. The Cardinal does not waste words on fancy ex- pressions of sentffnent nor beat about the bush with fine phrases. The Cardinal does not look his seventy-one years. The vigor = of youth is still his fortunate blessing. Wears Somber Garb of a Priest. The only marks of distinction visible to the layman’s eye was a bit of scarlet barette, which is only a skull cap, and a trace of scarlet, which showed around his neck. In other respects he was dressed in the conventional somber clothes of a priest. On a finger of his right hand, however, gieamed the enormous ring of his office—a big amethyst stone, set around with diamonds. As he talked in an amiable, conversational, informal way, there were occasional interruptions. A young priest or a visiting churchman would be ushered in, drop to his knees and kiss the significant ring. In a few terse and satisfying words Cardinal Gibbons dismissed one after another. Corruption as Old as History. “Corporation corruption is a fixed evil that we must reckon 'with just as long as the present condition of society exists in this country,” said Cardinal Gibbons. “Whenever there is an amalga- mation of great capital or a large collection of men interested in a money-making concern, there is sure to be corruption. It is a story as old as the world’s history. “The bright spot in the whole swamp of the present moral degradation is the fact that the degradation is made known. Cor- ruption cannot exist nowadays without heing discovered. “Dread of exposure is a counterbalancing element, and that fear—that horror of having a name, once respected, dragged down—-is due to the efforts of the metropolitan press. “ ‘A collection of men,’ said Mr. Blaine, ‘will permit a wrong which no one of these men individually would ever think of doing.’ Money the Great Trouble-Maker. “That is undoubtedly true of the conditions that have been exposed in this recent insurance scandal. In this scandal and various other unfortunate business wrongs that have been exposed lately it is very much to be doubted if any one particular man would do of his own accord what he did as director or stockholder. “The great trouble-maker to this country is money. The great offset to that evil is the Amterican inclination to spend it rapidly.” “You, consider, then, that American ‘extravagance is sur;m— thing of a blessing?” the Cardinal was asked. “I do, indeed. Americans are not misers, thank God! Oth- erwise we would be in a most deplorable condition. When great fortunes are made they are almost as rapidly expended, and the’ constant circylation of money is one of the hopeful signs of the future.” ) Prelate’s Diew on Tainted Money. “Do you believe there is such a th#g as tainted money " “Indeed I do. There is nog doubt whatever that there are large accumulations of money in this country that are very much tainted. However, I never had an opportuniy vet of personally de- ciding whether money was tainted or not. No money was ever of- fered me that even had the shadow of suspicion connected with it in that respect ; but that money has been obtained in a way which churchmen could not sanction in this country is a matter of com- mon knowledge.” \ “What do you consider the greatest dan; United States at the present time?” “That is rather a difficult question.

July 26.—Fred Lindsay has obeyed the mandate of Magistrate Higginbotham and the Judge announced to-day that Lindsay haa kissed his wife after their long estrange- ment. | “Well, Judge,” the husband said when he appeared in court, “we have come In 1o tell you that we have kissed and made up. We are going down on Long Island to spend our second honeymoon and we | | will not be able to appear before you | again.” “Well, that is splendid,” said the mag- istrate, beaming on the pair. “And you have really kissed your wife, have you, | Lindsay—and was it good?" Unblushingly Lindsay turned to his | wife, caught her in his arms and in the presence of the entire courtroom gave her a resounding kiss on the lips. His response satisfied the magistrate. Lindsay was arraigned before Magis- traie Higginbotham a month ago, charged with non-support. Magistrate Higgin- Dbotham gave the following order: “I sentence you, Lindsay, to spend one day each week with vour wife and baby at Prospect Park or at Conhey ylIsland. | You need not speak to each otheér. All you have to do is watch the baby. “And I further sentence you to kiss vour wife each day once,” charged the | Judge. “You are also to pay her 3 a week for four weeks. You and vour wife are to come back here one month from to-day and let me know how the sen- tence of this court is being carried out. Also, all mothers-in-law must _stay away from your home.” i IS TOST IN DENVER | AND NEARLY STARVES Laurel Schroyer, From This City, Is Vietim of Odd Experience.

OF THE DANGERS THAT AT DISPENSARY SYSTEN FAL Senator Tillman Ad- mits That It Is Not a Success. Special Dispatch to The Call. UNION, 8. C., July 26.—“I went Into the dispensary in Spartansburg to get some beer and that place was as near as I want to come to being In hell. Men were mixing beer with whisky,” is what Sen- ator B. B, Tillman is quoted as having said when on his way to make ipeech in favor of his “pet” dispensary system in South Carolina. The occasien on which tne above re- mark was made was when Senator Till- man went to Tiffany to make a speech, | !in the hope of turning the tide against the prohibition jsentiment; but the elec- tion, which cafne off a few days later, showed that the Senator evidently had lost his grip there or the dispensary’'s rottenness was too much for the people, fur they voted it down by a four to one majority. Senator Tillman now recognizes that the dispensary system as now conducted is a failure. Public sentiment in favor of prohibition is getting stronger every day and this county is getting in line to vote out the dispensary. Heretofore this was one of the Strongest dispensary coun- ties in the State. ———— Shonts Arrives at Colon. COLON, July 26.—The steamship Mexico, with President Theodore P.

EESAISE ™ R Special Diepatch to The Call. CHICAGO, July 2%.—Has Tohn W. Gates and his following again loaded up with wheat in an effort to get back some of the money they lost on the Board of ‘Trade last spring? This is a question which *s-day was discussed in La 3alle street. The that the Gates party was heavily inter- ested on the long side of the market was heard in all obscure dispatches from New York. John W. Lambert and lIsaae who were with the Gates party off a fishing trip down the St Lawrew s Hiver, have returned to New York and Gates, it is said, will follow. Meanwhile Orsen Wells, local manager for Charles W. Gates. & Co, was summoned to New York and curious ones were asking ‘whether his trip might not have some connection with the wheat deal. It s well known that Wall street interests bad a hand in the recent upward fight of the cereal. brought about by the black rust “scare.” The volume of trading which accomvanted the advance was so large as to indicate the presence of big speculators in the market. Much of the business came by way of Minneapolis, but traders have every reason to-believe that a large part of it did not originate there. . tad B — Hishop Joyce Is Near Death.
