Mrs, Sadie Mullen-Read, much-sought artist's model whose face and form are ‘the new debutante type in Charles Dana | Gibson's drawings, wants to sacrifice « husband for art. Her mother, Mra Mary Mullen of No. %8 West One Hun- dred and Third street, was appointed @uardian yesterday by Justice Page to ing an action to annul Sadie's mid- last April Fool's Day to Lioyd Read, son of a mililonair coal man of Akron, O. | Who 1s Sadie? Have you seen thi front pages of the December maguaines Have you seen that exquisite dam Straddling a trunk in the subway signs Have you observed the groups of Broad- | way's beauty shows? No?

You seo it was this way: HERE'S THE WAY IT ALL CAME ABOUT. ‘Times in the studios were dull. Mr. Gibson and his colleagues had piles of drawings lying round. Miss Sadie is ambitious. Off to a Broadway chorus irl expert she hiked and away sho came with a commission as “Ranking Beauty of the Front Ro It chanced that when Sadie was doing echool girl poses, young Read, who might be termed an habitual stage door asset, met the little model and, if re- ports are to be credited, fell head over heels in love.

It Uke an @eroplane ride Miss Sadie had. They just skimmed over the earth, @rossed through the rest of Ohio, wok qn a few more quarts of gaisoline at the State line and drove into Pittsburgh. Dan Cupid boarded the car somewhere outside the city. By the time Lioyd and Sadie reached the Duquesne Club Sir Daniel had winged the little model, so she Just abe didn't have time to give the matter a serious thought, Lloyd got an Alder- man out of bed and the City Father apologized for not having @ bath robe to throw over his pajamas. But he @aid something about Lioyd and Sadie being husband and wife. ING MRS. LLOYD, SHE LEFT LLOYD HIMSELF. ‘Then came the awakening, of which the prize artist's model hag most vivid vecolections. She pushed the romantic Lieyd aside, dasied from the Alder- manic domicile and hastened to a hotel, where she obtained @ time-table and frantcally cried for @ taxicab. After they woke up @ meter wagon, as say in Pittsburgh, Sadie was driven at break-neck speed to the depot, and just caught a train back to Akron in me to show up for the next day's matinee. ‘Where was Lioyd?

The following statement was made to-day by William Randolph Hearst in answer to Senator Foraker’s statements before the Senate Investiguting Com- mittee: enator Foraker made another frantic and futile effort to a tention from his own guilt. Foraker's ex-reputation is pletely ther attention from mi “Senator Foraker alleges that the Standard Oil letters which convict him and other atatesmen of tis character were stolen from Mr. Archbold's ofc by one negro and one other thief, and the ex-Senator suggests that the Sen- ate committee summon these two wor- thies to learn whether the letters really came direct from Mr, Archbold’a office. “This ig an excellent suggestion an should be acted upon. Nothing could better establish finally and forever absolute genuineness of the Standard OM letters than convincing proof of the fact that they were secured di- rectly from Mr, Archbold, and the more the absolute genuineness of the Stand- ard Oil letters is established the more Senator Foraker and Senator Penrose and Senator Batley and Mr. Sibley and the rest of the Standard O11 in public life are convicted of their Standard O11 connection. “To be sure, Mr. Archbold has at rious times directly and indirectly admitted the genuineness of the lette: To be sure, Mr. Foraker and oth Standard Ol! stipendiaries have on va: ous occasions confessed to the receipt of secret certificates of deposit. But the words of men of this character need substantiation, and the public would probably put a great deal more contl- dence in the statements of the negro and the other thief than they repose in the rances of some of tie gentlemen im- plicated in this Standard Oil corre- spondence.

STUMP ALSO CONFESSED SHARE IN THE THEFT. Stump supplemented this with a con- | fession in which he told of taking let-| ters to the Hearst offices and selling Several of them at different times, He sald he and Winfield got $12,000 (not | | ¢34,000) for the letters. | “The three men I did business with in the Hearst offices,” Stump was quoted as saying in Colller’s at that ‘time, “were, first, Eddy, the city editor; | then Mooney, who later took charge of & paper out of town" (the Chi Ex- miner); ‘then Eldridge, the present city editor of the American.” Some of the letters were taken back ‘to the Standard O11 files after they had been photographed at the Hearst offices, Others were kept. The Standard Oil Company apparently had no means af- terwards of knowing how many of the letters safely back in thelr files had been abstracted and photographed. | In his recent statement before the committee, Mr, Hearst explained how some of the recently published ‘fac- Father John's | H Medicine For Gughs and @lds 34th sizes for women. ton tops and sol broidered clocks | tops, soles and heels, Gerard Barbatta, a laborer living at| No, 136 Mott street, was before Mag Women’ n 4 satin brocade, in 1 prevailing colors, chine, high-grad i brocaded satin, t OPPENHEIM, GLLINS x Women’s Hosiery | Useful Holiday Gifts Cotton and Lisle Hose in black, tan and all desirable colors; all Pure Thread Silk Hose, with cot- black, white and tan.

Money that Stump and Winfield got that way, to quote the old tale, “didn't do them no good.” Wilkins confessed that his share of it Went in shooting craps and on women. Stump sald that muoh of his share was spent in negro resorts on the west side And at the racetracks. With the leav- ings, Wilkins and Stump, in a late born effort to make ome sort of a permanent investment, bought a saloon at the southeast corner of One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street and Seventh ave- nue. Clinton Wilkins, a brother of the notorious Baron Wilkins, the host of Jack Johneon when the pugilist was in the city, managed it for them and bought them out. When the theft of the letters was dis- covered some time after thelr abstrac- tion in 194, Winfield and Stump were both discharged by Standard Oil, Stump Worked ax a street railroad conductor and drifted from the sight of his old friends until Colller’s found him in 1908, after Mr, Hearst beran reading and publishing the Standard Of! letters tn his speeches on the stump advocating Hiagen's eleotion.

MoGee, in front, Justice Marean recetved a six-foot bronze group by Drouot, “The Triumph of Science.” To Mrs. Marean was given something that pleased her even more than the bronze—a bunch of seventy Killarney roses, one for each of her husband's years. > Negro Pugilist Released. LONDON, Dec, 19.—Frank Craig, the Negro pugilist, known as “the coffee cooler,” was discharged from custody yesterday when he was brought up in connection with the killing of Jessie Mc- Intyre, @ pretty actress, by Mrs, Anna Gross, an American negress, on Dec. 1. He did not mention that Mr. Eddy was at TAFTDENES ANY POLIS I ORDER ON POTMASTERS Charges of Congressmen on Civil Service. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Prestient Taft to-day gave Congress his opinion of the charge that he had been playing Politica in his recent executive order putting thirty-six thousand fourth class postmasters under the Civil Service. The President made the counter charge that his accusers on the floor of the House were telling “untruths” and de- ciared that he deeply regretted the failure of Congress to pass legislation whih practically would destroy the “polls system.” “Criticism has been made of this or- Ger on the ground that the motive was olitionl,” said the President, ‘“Moti- ing could be further from the truth. ‘The order was made before the elec- tion and in the interest of efficient puu- Mo service.” “I have several times requested Con- gress to give me authority to put, first, second and third class postmasters and all other local officers, including internal revenue officers, customs officers, United States marshals, and the local agents of the other departments under the classification of the Civil Service law by taking away the necessity for confirming such appointments by the Senate.” WOULD CURE EVILS UNDER THE PRESENT LAW. I deepty regret the fatlure of Con- grees to follow these recommendations. The change would have taken out of politics practically every local officer and would have entirely cured the evils growing out of what, under the pres- ent law, must always remain a remnant of the spolle system. The President's advice to Congress was contained In his third mesmge of the year sent in to-day. It was devoted largely to a review of the accompltsh- ments of several Government Depart- ments not touched in previous messages and to recommendations for legislation.
