McCULLOUGH'S CASH.
Did He Give II Away InsaneIy, or Was
lie Robbed!

NEw YORK, Aug. 10.
The family of John Mccullough are en-
gagged in an investigation of the demented
tragedlan's estate, which turns out to be un-
satisfactorily small, considering the large
pecunsry success OF the last five years of his
acting. A Pinkerton detective has been at
work a month on the problem Of Mr.. McCul
lough's finances. His income was fully $40
600 year, clear of all except personal ex-
penses, and yet out of the certainly not less
than $50, 900 which he got in his final five
years only 1927 900 in actual valve can be
found. He lived extensively, in the sense
that he always boarded at the best hotels and
entertained his friends at times lavshlv; but
his tastes were no: much varied, and he
owned no horses, yachts or residences. All
the assets are S24 900 in shraes in the ST.
Louis Boatmen's Bank, $4,000 in the Ameri-
can Exchange stock. two houses in Colorado
and S400 in money, the cost of his mainten-
ance since his incarceration having exhausted
the rest of his ready cash. In his trunks
were the notes of nine actors to whom he had
leat sums Of 500 to 800. and there is dc BIT
to him of Sll 900 by Capt. Billy Connor,
presumably money loaned when Conpor went
into the St James Hotel. He used to have
bank accounts here and there. but all have
been drawn out except trfling sum. The
depletion of his fortune is a mystery. Dur
ing his fractional season last summer he had
no business manager to whom all his affairs
we're entrusted. Capt. Connor had previously
been partner, but had then retired from
the show business. As nearly as can be as
certained, Mccullough had 100000 at this
time. Thereafter his mental disability grew
rapidly and the guess is that during this
period of wandering he suffered robberies or
gave away money insanely. No traces of the
robberies have been discovered, however, and
there is little hope of any. Everybody in the
slightest associated with him has been able
to present a clear account. One belief i. that
he was the victim of confidence operators,
who inveigled him into what they made him
believe was theatrical enterprise.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.

PORTLAND, Aug. Is.
A singular marine happening was related

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
An Exciting Contest Anticipated.

LONDON, Aug. 10.
In France the electoral contest bids fair to
be very bitter. The contest is already ex-
citing. The deputies who are seeking reelec-
ton are already on the stump. The issue of
the French elections becomes daily more diff
ficult to forecast, The political situation in
the republic is much the same As it is in Eng
land Party lines are largely down parties
are badly mixed, and no one can tell which
side win be the larger when the rearrange-
meBt is completed. The French radicals,
however seemed to have increased their con-
fidence since M. Clemenceau began his
stumping tour. His pot au feu policy is fnd-
ing greater acceptance among the peasantry
than is that Of M. Ferry of proposed national
expenditure and colonial expansion. 1t may
be said with truth that whatever changes may
occur in the relative strength of the parties,
it is certain that the French elections will re-
suit in the return of different personnel
from that which now controls the legislation
of the country. At least four-ffihs of the
Chamber of Deputies will be composed OF
entirely new men.

revenue, yesterday, telegraphed to all collec-
tors who have been receiving transportation
in which the time specified for delivering the
spirits at the port of destination exceeds 30
days, that they are not to receive such bonds

months clause contained in the circular Of

The collectors were further instructed that
they are not to approve transportation bonds
after the expiration of the period Of three
years mentioned in the warehousing bond,
thereby shortening the time by one month al

MAXWELL IN ST. LOUIS.
The Prisoner Refuses to Talk About His
Case.

ST, LOUIS, Aug. is.
Maxwell, the supposed murderer of c.
Arthur Preller, arrived here this morning
from Sad Francisco in charge of Detective
Tracy. A crowd OF from two TO three thou
sand people were at the depot when the train
arrived. Maxwell and his custodian were
met at the train by Chief of Police Harrigsn
with detachment of police and were placed
in patrol wagon and driven TO -Four Courts
where after brief stop in the detectives
room in the police headquarters he was put
in the "holdover." Accounts by reporters
who rode in from Hal.tead, Kan, on the
train with Maxwell, and had free access to
him. and the officers in charge of him, are to
the effect that he absolutely refused TO talk
about his case and positively asserted that he
has at no time or place made any statement
in regard. or any way acknowledged he had
ANYTHING to do with Preller's death or knew
anything about it. He says ali the stories
10 the contrary are untrue. Detective Tracy
thinks he killed Preller for money; that the
very few admissions he has made point in
that direction and that his voyage from St.
Louis TO Auckland was a money spending
debauch and not well planned escape from
justice.
Maxwell was in Chief Harrigan's office an
hour or so this afternoon and a large num-
Der of callers were introduced to him, bu,
nothing regarding his case or what line of
defense he will pursue was obtained from
him. Charles Berger, the trunk maker. rec
ognized Maxwell as the man 10 whom he sold
the trunk in which Preler's body was found
and porter at the Southern Hotel recog-
nzed him as being guest at the hotel in
April Maxwell will be turned over BY the
police tomorrow 10 the sheriff and will be
placed in jail.
