tary Blame, saw Assistant Secretary
Wharton and notified him he would
send to the department at once writ

STARTLING CHARGE
Against Ono of LouisTille's Policemen BY
The Wife of II Brother Officer

Against Ono of LouisSillc's Policemen By
The Wife of II Brother Officer.
LOUISVILLE, May S.--A sensation was
stirred up in the police department
when Officer NJ. schaeller preferred
charges against Mike Cross, a brother
officer, OF criminally assaulting his wife,
who is bride OF three weeks. Mrs.
Schaeifer tells sensational story in
connection with tho assault, and Chief
Taylor has begun rigid inves-
legations. Cross knew the young
vile before marriage. She is
only seventeen years Of age, and is re-
markably pretty. She states that Officer
Cross met her Yesterday morning for
tho first time since tho marriage and
rendered his congratulations. He
then asked her to 20 with him TO buy
her wedding present. He led her to a
room over notorious resort and closed
the door before she realized in what sort
Of place they were. Then he criminal
ly assaulted her, and she states that he
threatened to put m end TO her life if
tho matter was divulged.
Mrs. SchaclIer broke from the room
and hastcned home. Her husband was
on his beat, and in the excitement she
ran to him and told what had happened.
At frat Schaeher was so enragcd that he
left his beat in search of Cross, but re-
considering the matter, he wrote out
the charges OF his wife and this MORN
ing laid them on the chiefs desk.
Cross denies the charge, but admitted
that he had been in her company at the
time the assault is said to have oc-
Cured.

Dclore Schneider could bring tho

the prisoner, wholly unconscious OF his

Schneider and caught his arm. They
wero immediately reinforced by Bailiif
Mnsdcll and ono or two others, and 1t
required their united efforts TO wrench
tho chair out OF tho infuriatcd mans

Tho handouts were quickly produced
and SprinGman snapped them OH tho

most intense excitement during all this
time, became perfectly still in expecta-
ton OF the sentence about TO be pro-

the prisoner to his feet and tightly held
him between them and told him to face
the judge. "No," interrupted Judge
Bradley, "I will not sentence him while
heis handcuffed. Take them of. You
arc able to hold him."
Springman unlocked the handouts
and released tho prisoners hands, al
though he and Joyce never rclinquishcd
their grasp on him. Springman, who
from the first has had almost perfect
control over Schneider, whispered to
him to be quiet and TO brace up like n

the Anarchist Scare.
PARIS, May S.-The approach of the
presidential campaign IN the United
States attracts much attention in
France. NJ. Prossense, the well known
foreign editor OF the Temps, said to an
Associated Press representative to-day:
I'VE follow closely American national
and municipal! policies because French
Republicans wantto see Just what de-
mocracy is when left to develop freely,
Next we are studying the probable Ell
lect oil the presidential election with
view to international commerce.
France wants a modification of tho
Mckinley law, but che would not like
10 see free coinage law. ii an interna-
tional monetary conference .Swill end
the dispute, nothing will please us bet
ter. Nothing can be done without
Englands cooperation. Mr. Goshen,
after flirting with bi-metallism, seems
to have dropplo it.
NJ. lola, referring to the anarchist
scare. said:
This excitement is much ado about
nothing. Myverdict is that the anarch-
lists arc few in number; that they have
no organization, and that the most they
can do is to blow up few more houses.
Then public opinion will support sum
mary justice dealt in the streets. The
lynch law will speedily silence the ad-
rocates OF anarchy. am not socialist
militant | favor evolution, not revolu-
tion. Socialism is nothing akin to
anarchism."
Baron de Fava, the Italian minister
to the United States, was seen by an
Associated Press representative while
he was passing through raris en- route
to Southampton to New York. Baron
de Fava said that he desires 1t 10 be
made known in the United States that
he returned to his post with real pleas.

FoRr WAYNE, IND, May S.-Rcports
OF extensive devastation by the waters
OF tho st. Joseph, st. Mary and Maumee
rivers continue to come in. Not less
than 500 farms on the lowlands were
overllowed and a great deal of timber
that was cut for the mills went down
the streams. Louis Issaby,- a farmer
living OH the banks OF the Maumee four
miles below Fort Wayne lost all his
horses, cows, hogs and sheep in the
flood, besides several acres of corded
wood. Down stream it was no uncom-
mon sight to see dead COWS floating by
with the drift. No human lives were
lost, rs the rise Of the water has been
gradual giving all n chance to escape.
While the river is still high above its
banks, the waters are rcccding, and ii
the weather remains fair the danger is
over. The families who moved out OF
their houses in Fort Wayne have had
enough OF living in tho lowlands and
cannot be induced to move back. Most
of the vacated houses, however, are
still in the water.
