According to the testimony of Mrs. Henry Rutherford, Carl Legler, who was an assistant steward on a steam- |ship and who slept with his brother Alexander, was severely burned one night last December. A bottle which | had been filled with benzoine was lying on the floor empty, she testified, when | she and her husband were summoned by Alexander, who assisted in extin- | guishing the blazing bedclothing. A | doctor dressed the young man's burns and he was rapidly convalescing. Five days later, however, Alexander, it is alleged,(administered a powder to Carl, who was attacked with convul- sions and died an hour later. The physician said he had prescribed a powder that would induce sleep. | R. H. Downs, a druggist, testified that he was well acquainted with the brothers and that Alexander Legler frequently visited the drug store after his brother was-burned, and,.while sit- ting in the room where the prescrip- tions are compounded, talked about the various kinds of poison. Henry White, an employe of an in- surance company, testified that Carl Legler's life was insured for $3000, | Alexander being the beneficiary, and that the insurance companies suspected foul play and declined to pay the amount of the policies. | Leétters found in young Legler's clothing showed that he and his father, Alexander Legler Sr., were engaged In { promoting the Altamaba Transit Comi- pany and other concerns. Young Leg- { ler is from Georgia. | MARQUIS TOWNSHEND \ IS OF UNSOUND MIND \ | jl)owag;er Marchioness Tries ‘ to Wrest Him From ‘ Wife’s Control. LONDON, Feb. 24.—According to the | Daily Marquis Townshend, | 89 years of age. who six months ago | married Gladys Sutherst, and about whose recent movements there had | been considerable mystery, with ru- mors of disappearance, etc., has, on | petition of his father-in-law, Thomas | Sutherst, barrister-at-law, been certi- fied of unsound mind and is detained by | order of & lunacy commissioner in his | Brook-street residence in London, un- | der control of his wife. The Dowager | Marchioness Townshend stoutly main- tains that the Marguis is not insane | and 1s making strenuous efforts to se- | cure her son’s freedom. Marquis Townshend’s detention dates from the end of January. .It is alleged that the Marquis is unduly influenced by a gentleman friend of fourteen years' standing, for whom he displayed great affection and trust. Medical specialists engaged in be- | half of the Dowager Marchioness re- ! port that, although ill, the Marquis has displayed no hallucinations or delu- sfons, but that his voice and manner | point to some arrest of development. —_————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE | OF THE PACIFIC COAST War Department Is Conmsidering the | Resignation of Captain Curtis, Who Was Ordered Dismissed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24—The Wat | Department authorities are still con- sidering the resignation of Captain A, | F. Curtis of the Sixty-first Company ot | Coast Artillery, on duty at the Presidio of San Francisco. Captain Curtis has some good friends who are urging the Secretary of War to accept his resig- | nation without special remark, ai- | though Curtis has been sentenced by | court-martial to dismissal on charges alleging intoxication. | Upon the arrival San Francisco crew will Mail today of the Oregon, at from Hongkong her be discharged, after which val station and be placed out of com- | mission and surveyed. It is expected that the amount of the survey will re- guire the presence of the vessel at | Bremerton yard for a yegr or more, and it is possible Congress will be | asked to make a special appropriation for the work. . | The Navy Department has approved | the survey in the case of the Wyoming, !which has been at Mare Island navy | yard under regairs and which s des- | tined to remain there for some time. The amount of the approved surved is $66,000.

The Secretary of War today trans- | mitted to Congress a report from Gen- eral Mackenzie, Chief of Engineers, | who says that the existing commerce of the*port of Monterey does not war- | rant the expenditure of any large sum of money for the improvement of the port.

Twenty passengers in the day NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—There was a con- spicuous movement in a few industrial stocks today, but the general mass of the market was inert and lifeless. The fact that few stocks which moved widely coadhes were badly shaken and some moved in opposite directions seemed to hold the general level practically sus- pended. Union Pacific continued to advance and was less affected by the later reaction than other stocks.” Rumors in circulation of an intended distribution of a scrip div- idend to dispose of a new preferred stock issue, although they met with direct de- nial from ofticial sources, had an influence upon the demand for the stock. There was a concerted demand also for the stocks in the Wabash group, led by ‘Wabash preferred. These movements had some sympathetic effect upon the general list until the continued liquidation in Con- solidated Gas began to disturb specula- tive sentiment. This stock fell an extreme nine points under persistent offerings in- duced by the fixing of an 80-cent rate for gas by the State Tax Commission. Reading also was inclined to be heavy throughout/ The bank statement failed to show any of the expected increase in cash, the loss of $2,247,800 serving to make up more than the discrepancy In last week's statement from the known movements of money. In addition to the cash decrease, however, the deposit item was reduced by a loan contraction of more than $3,000,000, with corresponding modification of the reserve requirement. The inroad on the surplus was thereby restricted to $664,200. The sagging tendency became more pro- nounced after the appearance of the bank statement, and the market closed dull and heavy. An advance in the private dis- count rate at Paris was an incident of the day of Interest to this market owing to the large resort which local borrowers have been making to Paris banks to re- lieve the requirements on New York banks.
