WHAT HIS FRIENDS SAY.
Confident That the Judge Will Come
Out All Right.

Out All Right.
CHICAGO, July 4.-All persons about
the Government building who are in any
way connected officially with Judge Jen-
kins. express great regret at his arrest In
Milwaukee In all the discussion which
takes place not a word of suspicion ID
heard, the tenor Of talk being sympathetic
and entirely expressive of the great con-
fidence in which the jurist is held.
Judge Woods, on his arrival in the city,
said concerning the reports:
"While we all feel greatly concerned and
gricved, we do not imagine but what the
whole matter will be cleared up eventually
In the judges favor. From all that can
be learned he himself is as much victim
as any one else, for he trusted To others To
look after his interests In the Plankington
Bank. am not familiar with the case,
and can say nothing of the legality OF the
proceedings on the evidence submitted"
District Attorney Milchrist. after highly
praising the integrity Of Judge jenkins,
looked at the case from legal standpoint.
II see report has it that the arrest was
made on the charge OF embezzlement.
Now, / am satisfied that they will not
be able to sustain this charge. because it
will be necessary to prove actual compile
ity in the crime. The most that can be
said is that the Judge was the victim Of
misplaced codfdence.
He was bank director who had con-
fdsncs enough in his confreres to allow
them full charge of the banks affairs. He
knew nothing of their investments, and
when the crash came il shocked him as
well as others.
1T leaves no ground for sustaining the
charge of embezzlement."

NEW YORK CITY WATER
NOW SAID TO BE EN7IRELY FREE
FROM NIIR1TES.

President Wilson States that the Death
Rate shows y Big Decrease - Croton
Water, Consequently, Not Deadly.
NEW YoRK, July 14-The last snaly-
sis Of Croton water, made by Assistant
Chemist Beebe of the Sanitary Bureau Of
the Health Department, indicates an i'm
proved condition. No nitrites whatever
were discovered. and the Health Depart.
ment officials now look for . steady i'm
provement.
President Charles Wilson of the Board
of Health said in this connections:
"Our records for the week show that
there has been an actual decrease of 149
in the number Of deaths occurring In thi s
city as compared with the first five days
Of the corresponding week Of last year.
"These statistics certainly prove con-
clusively the correctness of my claim that
the present state of Croton water has not
increased the number of deaths in this
city. Our records also reveal a large in
crease over the average number of deaths
from typhoid fever in previous years.
So far as our department is concerned
we have had no indications whatever that
the condition Of the water is dangerous to
health"

Made q Business Of Getting Married
TO Commit Murder.
ANYIMONY The DRUG SHE USED.
The Husband Of tho Woman Also Under
Administrators Insurance seems to
Have Been Her Aim-One OF the Most
Cold BIooded Borsias on Record.

NEW YORK, July l4-Police Inspector
Mclaughlin yesterday received dispatch
from the superintendent of the police of
Detroit, stating that DIR. Henry Meyer
was under arrest in that city.
Mrs. DIR. Meyer was also arrested when
her husband was taken into custody. To
gether with her 2-year.old son. she was
lodged In the Woodbridge street police
station. Later she was removed to Har-
per's hospital rs she is in delicate condi-
tion A detective was detailed to keep her
under surveillance.
The indictment was found upon the
evidence Of DR. Simon Minden, who as
sisted in the analysis of the stomach.
Behind this announcement Is startling
tale, and IL the facts now in possession OF
the police are verified, Lucretia Borgia
has formidable rival in the person OF
Mrs. Meyer.
On March 80, 1892, ]. Baum of 800 East
Thirteenth street died after a severe attack
of intestinal trouble. DIR. Minden of 1ls
East Twelfth street, who attended him,
gave certificate to
His Gricf-strjcken Wife,
naming the cause of death chronic dysen-
terry He was buried in Brooklyn ceme-
terry.
Baum's life was insured for $1,000 in
favor of his wife, and, after the usual for
mula, the amount was paid.
DIR. Gillette Of the insurance company
for some reason suspected there was some
thing wrong and communicated his fears
to Coroner Schyltz Bsum's body was
quietly exhumed, and Deputy Coroner
Walsh assisted by Professor r. Ogden
Doremus, made an autopsy.
The stomach was found to contain anti
mony in large quantities. which drug had
prodnced the intestinal trouble. The cor
oner laid the facts before Inspector Nc
Laughlin, and. after search, detectives
found that Mrs. Baum was in reality
The Wife of Dr. Henry Meyer,
rho was also known under the alias of
Henry Reuter- and Hugo Maylor.
The woman, the detectives say, made
business of getting married, persuading
her husband to insure his life, and then ac
consplishing his death by poison
The couple -xere finally located In De
troit, and it is said she has piled her MUIR
derous trade in that city and that no less
than five deaths are laid at her door
The police feel sure that further search
in this city will reveal greater number Of
her victims.

ihss Is the Shortage Charged Against
Tax Collector Peed.
It will be remembered BY readers
OF the TINES that, some weeks ago. il
vas stated that Tax Collector Peed
was short in his accounts. The shorts
age reported by tho experts Who ex.
amined bis books was some $1,000 or
$1,000.
Frank Peed claimed the whole thing
was q mistake; that his accounts
balanced. Aud time Was allowed
him to mako his statement good.
After going over the books be paid
into the county treasury tho sum of
1925, and few errors were corrected.
This, he claimed, would balance bis
account for 1892.
There remained the accounts for
1891. These were gune over and
over, with the result that Mr.. Peed
stands charged with defalcations
amounting to $3479.91, and Frank
Ensign has been instructed to insti-
tute proceedings, on behalf Of the
people, to recover the amount from
Peed's bondsmen. They arc, or will
be notified, and unless they pay up
suit will be commenced to recover the
amount.
OF the amount in default, about
$1,000 belongs to the school fund. In
view of the special efforts made to
keep our public schools open, this
defalcation is especially to be regretted.
