CONDUCTOR ON B. & O. Authorities of Baltimore, Where Woman Was Killed, Are Sending for Prisoner. | Police Lieutenant “Andy” Devery was alone at the desk in the Green-| wich police station about 1 o'clock! this morning when a man walked up to him and said that he wanted to be placed under arrest. The calter| @aid that his name was Walter P. dogan, forty-one years old, and that he lived at No, 1130 West Pratt| street, Baltimore. Ho was genteel in appearance and soft in speech. His clothes showed evidence of rough travel. “I shot and killed my wife on the) 18th and then ran away,” said he, “and L want to be locked up." Hoe buried his head in his hands) and sobbed like a child. Lieut. Dev- ery regarded him curiously, then rang up Police Headquarters. A few mo-| ments later a despatch was on its way to the Chief of Police of Baltt- | more asking if Cadogan was wanted, Meantime Cadogan was placed in a cell, | The answer to headquarters from Baltimore was that Lieut. Devery’s | man was wanted for the murder of his wife. A request was made to hold him until a detective arrived with extradition papers. He was booked ag a fugitive from justice. “T think it was the heat that affect- ed me,” Cadogan told Dever). “I went home from my train that night and I seemed to be dazed, I have| been with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for more than twenty years. As soon as I got into the house I quarrelled with my wife. I tried to shoot myself and she tried to prevent me, Then I turned the re- volver on her in a rago and shot her down. I was going to kill myself after shooting her but didn't have the nerve. Cadogan was taken before Magis- trate Herbert in the Centre Street Police Court, who ordered him cenfined in the ‘Tombs until the arirval of the necessary papers from Baltimore. In his cell in the Tombs the prisoner again broke down and wept. He re- fused to further discuss his case, BALTIMORE, July 17.—Walter @a- ogan, the Baltimore and Ohio Gon- ductor accused of killing his wife last Monday by shooting, will be told by Baltimore police who go to New York for him of his mother's death since the crime. Mrs. Cadogan, the mother, died without knowledge of the murder, Mrs. Cadogan, the wife, was shot, ran into the street with her clothes ablaze and died before passers- by reached her. 8 a ee CHILDREN SEE MOTHER LEAP TO HER OEATH Fearing End by Rheumatism, Wom- an Shouts Goodby and Jumps From Third-Story Window. Mrs, Orsela Leona, mother of four children under ten years, living at No. 1601 East New York avenue, Brook- lyn, was told a week ago that when rheumatism. reaches the heart it proves fatal. Mrs. Leona had been a sufferer from rheumatism for five years. After she had dressed her children this morning the woman felt severe pains and felt her time had come, After kissing each of the little ones she went to the kitchen window of the tenement on the third floor, She raised the sash and saw Mrs, Dun- widdie Lazona looking out of her window in the rear of the house at 148 Bergen stree odby, Mrs. Luzona; I'm tired of bie ft all, and now it's going to end!" shouted the woman, She then climbed to the | of the window and \ leaped. she struck on hor head and was killed instantly, Two of the Leona children had gone into the back yard, and they witnessed the act, but did not know their mother who had taken ‘Their father, Joseph Leona, was in his cobbler ‘shop a bloc! away from the house, ' Stars of the Stage Out for al Jolly Day in Honor of Their Newly Elected Abbot —Great Game of Ball and Great Decisions Rendered. Tho Friars were gathered around their hearthstone in West Forty-fifth street this morning, wondering where they were at. The people housed in the monastery of the Friars are essentially actors. It was only last month that George M. Cohan was elected Abbot of the Friars. It was only a shore time be- fore that it was announced that the indefatigable, the ingenious, infectu- ous, out for a minute, in for a life- time Cohan had retired for all timo from the. stage. But the report wasn't true. He's been doing nothing since but writing plays, directing their production and growing younger in appearance in the game. Two years ago he looked sixty years old. Yesterday he looked like # young man. Yesterday they celebrated Mr. Co- han’s election as Abbot by an outing at Glenwood-on-the-Sound, The ac- tors of the Friars wanted to be thought athletes, so they suggested a baseball game and running games and things like that. Mr. Cohan is a base- ball fan, He put up $200 on the game with the agreement that the winning team should spend the money next Tuesday night at the Friars’ Club on the losing team and their friends in Friars’ Hall, WILLIE COLLIER TAKES TEAM AGAINST COHAN. The steamer Merchant sailed away from East Forty-second street with Commodore Jack Gleason in command and his lieutenant, Dick Hatzel, treas- urer of the club, next in importance, This was at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Commodore Gleason was the partner of Tex Rickard in the Jeffries-Johnson fight away out in a place called Reno many years ago. Commodore Gleason 1s some promoter. Joo Humphreys was on board, Mr. Humphreys is the proud possessor of a gold watch and fob, the latter bear- | ing the legendary name of “Giants.” He was on the boat ten minutes and the watch was gone. Of course no- body suspected that Al Sanders got the watch, Al Sanders was on the Police Committee. He went back to New York on a train, After he had gone Joe got his wateh back. Well, Willle Colier had the nerve to put up a baseball team against the! $200 of Cohan. Worse than that, he had the team packed with ball play- ers, It was a shame to take the money, but the Collier man wasn't shamed to do it. Ho had Jim Cor- bett on first base and Jack Gleason One Ten Cent Box of EX-LAX The Famous Chocolate Laxative will regulate your bowels and relieve you of the miseries of Constipation If your stomach isn’t just right, if coated tongue, feel distressed after eating and have frequent headaches, just BY y Counthan and bis parvnen Mike | take Ex-Lax This will tone up your stomach, aid digestion, promote bodily | you have a bad taste in the mouth, vigor and strengthen the nervous system.

Then Jim Corbett went to the bat and hit one over second base and tried to make second on it. They hollered to him to go back, but Cohan, who was playing at second, sald: “Let him go. He's been going back for ten years. Don't stop him.” Al Cross lined out a home run and they called it an accident. But ho scored just the same. And he brought in a whole lot of others. George Cohan himself whanged out a liner, but it was gathered in by George B. Hunt, and Cohan sald he was the only man who had ever given Hunt a real part on Broadway. COLLIER IN A DOUBLE PLAY JUST LIKE A MIXUP. There was a man on third and he started to steal home. Collier, who was in the box, threw to third, and the runner fell down, and it looked lke a cinch for his going out. But} he kept on running and Collier ran over to intercept him. The runner got another fall down and a bloody nose, and Collier got an awful punch in tho Jaw. And Collier never recov- ered from the blow for the rest of the day. * “While the majority of the Friars went down in the boat, there were others who choo-choo-ed down in| machines, Among these was Jimmy! Montgomery, the author of “Ready Money,” and Jim Early, who used to with “Billy” Brady, Those gentle | buccaneers of the Friars tore up the| road, beat the policeman out and made the thirty-mile trip in leas than an hour, There's a summons due that party. You remember Jimmy Britt? Well, he's a Friar, Jimmy was In all the athletic sports and didn't win a thing except as an actor, They had a walk- ing race for actors, This race was on the square for every actor knows ;how to walk.

J.. mot rmed parents when they returned j home this morning at 3 o’olock, after a night spent in the swamps of the Passaic River. Drawing the shader for « few min- utes, the curtain rises on five of the eight entering their respective homes, clad in dry clothes, You eee, the porches of the Roseland homes are heavily screened, and the intertorm of the homes contain valuable rugs that must be protected from water. So—! Well, anyway, something had to be and they couldn't enter while the muddy Passaic water was pour- ing from the clothes they had worn during the night, could they? And the porches were dark. History fatla to say what became of ithe male escorts while the shades were down, but the escorts told they story, so they must know something. Sixteen young men and women started out from Roseland at 8 o'clock last night on @ strawride. A shower oame up and in the darkness Harold De Camp, who was driving, turned into the swamps of the upper Passatc, For five hours the sixteen searched for @ return path, and be- fore they found it the wagon was overturned in a brook and all were muddied ang soaked, but they got.| back. bs Early this morning maid servante in five homes gathered up heaps of muddy clothes that had been left on aa many porches. Mald servants in three other homes had helped three more young ladies of the expedition to get in just as they were, muddy and wet, without @ fuss, The young women on the expedi- tion were Miss Florefice Basse, Miseca Lulu and Bmily Roll, Elsic Buler, Anna Hochastahl, Elleen and Blanche DeCamp, Florence Montenay and Mrs, Lewie Ats.

Charges of a husband's parsimony and counter chargos of a wife's ex- travagance were aired in Domestic Relations Court to-day when Mra, Geraldine Curr, daughter of Supreme Court Justice Garrison of New Jer- sey and niece of Secretary of War Garrison, complained against John Curr. Her husband forced her to live in one room with her three children and gave her only $1 a day for foud, said Mra, Curr, an attractive woman of thirty-two, when she appeared be- foro Mugistrate Cornell. She was ac- companied by the childran—a boy of ten and two girls of nine and five. She also declared her husband scat- tered powder on her clothes and while this discomfort lasted she refused to cook for him. Mrs. Curr has been jiving in tho Holley Hotel, Washington Square, while the husband sald he had been forced to do the cooking for himself and the children. It was said at the Holley shortly after the hoaring to- day that Mrs. Curr left there in com- pany with her husband. The Magi: trate had dismissed the chargy, ad- | vising reconciliation It developed during the hearing that the Curr household was dis- rupted over the differences of opinion between the parenta as to the fl- nancial management of the home.

Mr, Curr said that a year ago they lived tn Montelair, N. J., but that his wife exceeded an allowance of $150 a month, so they moved to Douglaston, L. 1, and then to Man- hattan.

This season is indeed one of the warring elements; no one fashion can be given first place, as» there ai| about four distinctly different ail: hougttes which have been launched with equal success, The newest one of these is the polonaise, which ‘a very pretty, but up to this time has been accepted only for daytime wear, as the long straight lines are not #0 adaptable for evening gowns, But another style which is very similar to this and is one the lines of tho moyen age frock, developes very pretty evening frocks, The long waisted bodice is draped below the arms and is cut low in the neck, In my design to-day I have shown an adaptation of this style to be de- veloped in taffeta and lace, the two most favored materials of the season for both afternoon gowns, At the left, daintily sprigged taffeta in pink and green forms the bodiee, also the polonaise, which is draped up at the back into a pane: of plain light green satin. Flaring be- low this drapery is a full ruffle of oream lace, which drops lower in! front and higher in back, in line with, the polonaise, and in pretty color con-) trast to the green satin which forms the lower part of the skirt, Deep lace sleeve rufties also lend their airy charm to the otherwise severe bodice. The suggestion at the left shows plain white taffeta combined with) black Brussels net and trimmings of pink roses, One large pink rose at the V of the neck in front gives just, the needed touch of color to the bodice, while # wreath of smaller roses. nestling between the polonalye and the ruffio ts a delightful addition to the skirt. The panel at the back of this froek may either be of taffeta or of black velvet, the latter sug- gestion being, perhaps, more appro-| priate for the matron than the miss.
