DR. PARKHURST THREATENED.
LETTERS RECEIVED FROM ANGRY AND CRAZY

MEN SUPERINTENDENT BYRNEs TALKS.
II is known that threatening letters have. during
the last yesr been addressed through the malls TO
and reached the Rev. DR.. Charles h. Parkhurst.
president OF the Society for the Prevention OF
Crime even though Dr. Parkhurst is unwilling to
discuss the subject. The character of the people
with whom he has to deal is we'll known: but they
represent a class of evil-doers In the community
whose antagonism TO his prosecution OF the work
ought not to arouse, IT is thought. any appre-
hersion of personal violence Whence then, ema-
nate the communications which breathe assassina-
ton is the question many people asked yesterday
A Tribune reporter saw Or. Parkhurst last even
ing at his house. but the preacher would not per-
nit himself to be drawn into an interview on the
subject beyond his declaration Of his right to OBJ
serve certain precautions in the way Of safeguards
Or. Parkhurst. as his course has demonstrated,
is not lacking in personal courage.
Frank Moss and +. u. Kenneson. the lawyers
of pr Parkhursts society. went TO Police Head
quarters Yesterday with Captain Wishart, one OF
the agents OF the society. and talked with S,-
perlntendent Byrnes for an hour. regarding the

office In response to his personal invitation 1t was
report which the Superintendent will make to the
Police Board. when his investigation Of the all
legged mobbng is concluded.
MIR Byrnes declined to say anything on that
subject yesterday, except that he was making
an inquiry which might consume several days.
Inspector williams and Captain Devery were pre-
pairing reports about the alleged mobbing OF the
society's agents and they also would say nothing
TO reporters
Superintendent Byrnes said he had informa-
ton regarding any threatening letters which might
have been sent to Dr. Parkhurst lately. II such
letters sent they probably written by
crank II Or. Parkhurst knew the writer
Of threatening letters and would make complaint

possible aid In the effort to capture and punish the
offender.

team invariably scared an advantage.
Fox, Tinker, Brannen and Dooolns::
did excellent work in tackllng and
rushing. Each down showed q gain OF
three TO eight yards for Wheeling.
Wheeling was. given five yards on &C.
count OF improper playing by the WIS.,
itors, bringing the ball within seven
Yards Of the opposing goal. FUCKER
shortened the distance three yards,
then Brannen got the pig skin aud
broke through the line Of heavyweights,
scoring touch down.
The Linsly boys and their admirers
who crowded about them, fairly went
wild. There was a perfect Pandemo-
mum for a few moments. With footing
of horns, wild cheering, tossing OF hats
into the air, the local eleven's admirers
gave vent 10 their enthusiasm. The
score was now IL TO 4. The ball was
hunted back into the field for place,
but Tucker permitted it to touch the
ground. putting it again IN play, and
deuriving Wheeling OF the right to try
for goal.
Cadiz took the ball, and had advanced
it TO within twenty feet Of the Wheeling
goal line when time was called and the
game was over. Then Capt. Frazier
called his men together and proposed
three cheers for Wheeling, which were
given with a will.
