Gently worked in New York by a tout,
who bled clerks and other frequenters OF
the snowstorm poolrooms freely until his
trick was exposed.
His method was to stand in front Of a
down town hotel, accost those whom he
had frequently met in the city poolrooms
and confide to them that a certain horse
had Just won his race at Gloucester or
Guttenburg He stated that he had sub
sidized the operator in the hotel, who was
enabled to get the reports Of the races
from TO 10 minutes ahesa OF the pool
rooms. If the victim still doubted, the
swindler would make certain motions
with his handkerchief These would be
answered in kind by man standing at
a window inside the building.
The lamb" would rush off to one of
the many nearby poolrooms to put all
of his money on what he considered a
sure thing after having of course prom
ised to give large percentage Of the
winnings TO the rascal who had so kindly
given him the tip Another victim

Nurtur. and Physical Development.


We may ask, Has any actual difference
been ascertained between the growth OF
the children of the favored class and
that of the less favored childf Do fresh
air and good food and exercise and the
absence of exhausting labor tell not only
upon the general health and happiness OF
our children, but upon their height and
weight and the development OF their
chests? Does nurture tell in actual hg-
ures upon the size of man? To tins we
may answer yes.
II should be remarked in this cOnnec-
ton that in regard to their actual orlgl-
nal endowment Of bone and muscle, ma
ture is impartial in her favors, that her
children are born free and equal in this
respect, and that circumstances as re-
CARDS poverty or wealth or class, whether
of king or peasant, have little or no IN
fuence upon the size Of the new born.

children are not born deformed, or with
the Deficiencies and irregularities we
sometimes note in them later. Out of
$4,000 infants observed by Chaussler,
only l22 were found to present any de-

THE EVANSTON TRAGEDY.
FUNERAL SERVICES OVER THE
REMAINS OF MISS CLARK,
The CaslIet Covered With Floral Offer
ings From Friends of the
Murdered Girl.
Special to the REconp.Ux1oN.


CHICAGO, April 3.-In the Northwest
ern University Chapel at Evanston this
afternoon, the funeral services were said
over the remains of Miss Efiie Clark of
! Spokane, Wash, murdered Saturday
night by her discarded lover. f. Ross
Smith of Portland, Or, who then COM
mitted suicide. The services began at .
P. NJ. President Henry Wade Rogers
ofiiciated. This forenoon the casket was
placed in the chapel and covered with
floral offerings, sent in by the young
girls friends. A large bank of Easter
lilies rested at the head of the casket, and
| punches of violets were scattered here
and there. Many friends of the deceased
availed themselves of the opportunity to
see the face of the dead girl before the fu-
neral services.
At IL o'clock the casket was opened and
the house and the rooms made public to
friends. At l o'clock the casket was
taken to the chapel. Following the hearse
rode the pall-bearers and representatives
of the Woman's Club of the University.
The bearers were S. II. Fahs, Chaplain of
the freshman class, and five other class
men-H. X. Merwin, b. B. Bell, ]. NJ.
Eldradge, r. L. Sheppard and Harry
| Fisher.
The chapel was crowded with students
| and town people, and outside the build
Ing the grounds contained a crowd of
| curiosity seekers whom the dramatic
tragedy had attracted.
During the forenoon the house in front
of which the shooting occurred was an
object of interest, and the friends of Miss
Clark who called to pay their last visit
were compelled to pass through a crowd
of spectators.
Miss Clark's body will leave Evanston
on the late afternoon train and be brought
direct to Chicago, accompanied by a short
procession of friends and pall-bearers.
The casket will be transferred to the
Union Pacific station and sent westward
on the 1920 p. NJ. train.
In the hurry of arrangements the
formalities necessary under the law be-
fore the body could be removed were al
most forgotten. 1t was not until morn
ing that q certificate was obtained from
the Coroner, allowing the removal.
Whether a delegation of freshmen will
accompany the casket is question to he
decided at meeting that will be held
| early this evening. After the services it
has been said that Miss Clark's former
associates will meet in the university TO
decide on this question and arrange
memorial services, in case no one is sent
to Miss Clark's home. Memorial services
will doubtless be held in the chapel
Wednesday evening.
The Deputy Coroner reached Evans
ton shortly after 10 o'clock. He went di-
rectly to the undertaking rooms where
Ross Smiths body lies. Most of the
morning was spent in making the pre-
liminary arrangements. The work of
securing q jury will occupy much of the
rest of the day. 1t is doubtful if the hear
ing of evidence will be reached.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Supreme
Court to-day, in long opinion by Jus

justice rendered under extradition pro-
| ceedings by one State to another may be
constitutionally tried in the latter State
upon warrant charging another offense
than the one set forth in the warrant of
extradition, without first returning to the
State from which he came. This decision
| affects the judgment of the Georgia Su-
preme Court in the case of Sidney Las
| celles, alias Walter S. Beresford, the
well-known swindler, who claimed to be
Lord Beresford's son, and who cut wide
swath in New York and the South at the
expense Of his deluded victims

brated Chicago lake-front case was over
ruled by the Supreme Court of the United

THE DRAIN INCIDENT.

Attempted Train WreckIne.


PORTLAND orr, April 3.-George E.
Richardson, who dramatically tagged a
Southern Pacific passenger train near
Drain last Friday morning and informed
the conductor that the track had been
torn up, was arrested and placed in the
County Jail at $50 tonight on warrant
charging him with having attempted to
wreck the train.
The first intimation that Richardson
was suspected Of being the wrecker came
in dispatch yesterday from Sheriff No
land of Lane County to Sheriff Kelly OF
Multnomah County. This afternoon
Sheriff Noland came to this city, and,
proceeding to the hospital where Rich
ardson was confined. placed him under
arrest. Noland says he has secured evil
dence sufficient to justify his arrest. A
Deputy Sheriff has been in the hospital
watching Richardson since yesterday.
When seen at the Jail tonight Richard
son denied that he removed the rail from
the track. His injuries are merely super
fetal, and he is not suffering. 1t is gem
erraily believed that he inflicted the in

In October, 1892, Richardson tagged a
Union Pacific train between Baker City
and Pendleton, when it was about to run
into bowlder on the track. He received
$50 reward from the passengers. The
company, however, suspected that he
rolled the bowlder on the track, but they
had no conclusive evidence.
Before Richardson was taken from the
hospital tonight Superintendent Fields
of the Southern Pacific and Superintend-
ent Minister of the Pinkertons' Detective
Agency had an interview with him.
They endeavored to secure confession
from him, and were partly successful.
He admitted thathe rolled the bowlder on
the Union Pacific track, but answered
evasively when asked if he removed the
rail from the Southern Pacific track. He
will be taken to Eugene tomorrow.
