CHlcAGO'S IAN MANY.
Scores OF Colonies Located in Chicago Sa-
looms and Boarding Houses.

CmcAGo, Oct. 3l.-That considerable
part Of Chicago's registration of 3l3,676 is
the result of fraud cannot be doubted in the
light of the startling developments of today.
In the 23l ward alone it is said that
arrangements have been made by Demo-
crstic henchmen to poll 1000 fraudulent
votes. Scores Of colonies have been To-
Gated in saloons and cheap lodging houses
in all portions of the city.
The work of coloniziog repeaters has been
done so openly and ccarsely by 'pluggers"
of the city administration that detection is
easy. As q sample, So voters were found
to have registered IS living at one ram
shackle house of six rooins-a physical I'M
possibility -ani it is the same all through
the disreputable districts.
Many repeaters have been arrested by
secret service men employed by the Repub-
lican committee, and many more are on the
list. 1t is now thought by the election
commissioners that between 5000 and 6000
of the registrations during the two days are
illegal.

cLAIM FULL OF R0MAhcE.
Says Texan Land Worth SIS, $1,000 Be-
longs to Him.

New York, Oct. 31.-Henry Frederick
Schatzel lives in very humble surroundings
above his little bake shop in Brooklyn. ct
he may become the wealthiest man in the
y hole city, He is about to bring suit for
property in Texas amounting to nearly 210
square miles of its territory, and worth at
least S25 900 900.
The story of bis claim is full of romance,
mystery and crime. Mr.. Schatzefs uncle,
John He,er Schatzel, played an important
part in the early history of Texas. He
fought as a private under Napoleon, was
wounded at Austerlitz, became paymaster,
and after the disastrous Russian campaign
of 1914 sailed from Antwerp to New Or
leans. Here he went into business, and at
the end of IL years sold out his interest for
$40 900. Then he Joined Sam Houston in
the revolt of Texas against Mexico, and was
United States consul at Matamoras or until
the annexation of the Lone Star state in
1915. He invested largely in real estate,
buying up all of the counties of Nucces,
Cameron, Duval and Corryell. In ls47 he
announced bis intention of returning to
France, and drew out S42 900 in gold from
the New Orleans bank.
Before he could start he died suddenly
and mysteriously. 1t was suspected that
he had been poisoned. He had no relatives
save brother living on the Rhine in the
town of Kreutznach, knowing nothing OF
John Peters fate or the fortune that aw aited
himself Two years passed. Then, accord
ing to the Texan laws, the unclaimed estate
was placed in the hands of administrators.
From time to time they have sold portions
of the property on quit claim deeds. Thus
large portion of the estate has passed into
the hands of strangers.
The town of Corpus Christi and many
smaller settlements have been built upon
it. But the title of the purchasers is in
valid as against the heirs, for the statute of
Limitation does not debar them if they are
abroad or if no efforts are made to find
them.
Twenty years ago Henry Sci azel came
to this country and finally settled in Brook
Ign. Hearing accidentally of the fortune
left by his uncle, he went out to Texas and
employed lawyers to prosecute his claim.
As almost all the prominent people in the
counties named are interested he made no
progress. He says his lawyer was bought
off.
Now he has placed the matter in the
hands of lawyer, Mr.. J. Walsh, of Nassau
street, this city. Mr.. Walsh will soon start
for c, rpu' Christi. He is sanguine of sue

MICA AND ASBESTOS MINES
Located in Canada Are Being Bought Up by
Capitalists.

mining districts of the province of Quebec,

known mica properties in this part of Can
ada. The prices paid aud to be paid have
not been announced, but are understood to
be very high.
The spectators declare that beyond any
doubt Canada has the finest white mica in
the world. The most important Of the
mines acquired by the syndicate are a
series situated near Murray Bay, the ia
nous salt water resort of so many Ameri-
can families. These mines are Is miles
inland from the St. Lawrence. Others are
at Beaver lake IA miles from Tad

over 100 miles, during the winter season
when the st Lawrence IS from.
The iron mines in the same region have
been visited by the syndicate. but will not

Baumgarten expresses his intention of
establishing fishery ON the Labrador coast

vAIhLY WAXING
For Word ifsm missing Annie Thompson, AND
Fears Of Foul Play Increasing.

WoBuRN, Mass, Oct. 8l.->Annie N.
Thompson remains unheard from. Long
suspense and anxiety are breaking her
mothers heart. This case In its present
bearings is enc of hemost mysterious that
has for years come under the notice OF the
local police. The girl dropped out OF sight
Oct. 2, left pleasant home and indulgept
parents, affectionate sisters and host OF
friends, for what no one in the city seems
to be able 70 tell ia.
Justin E. Thompson, Annie's father,
last evening received postal from Rev.
John Moore, former boarder In the fam
lily, who has taken it upon himself to do
detective work on the case.
This Mr.. Moore for some time has occu-

he was going to Chicago. He went yester-
day
The postal spoke of the sad news" get
ting into the newspapers, and the writer
added that he would do all he could In
the Windy City to seek out the couple.
Mr.. Moore has the notoriety of leaving

out of sight
One day not long ago, Mrs. Thompson
asked Mr.. Moore point blank if he had not
married Sam and Annie" and the gen.
tleman became so fiery with passion that
He Created Scene.
Letters from various points in the
country have been received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson, purporting to have been
written by Pearse, but Annie is silent. 1t
is well known that SamuelS Pearse could
not have written the letters, and if he was
not the author of the epistles, who penned
them for him?
When Annie was in Woburn there were
few handsomer girls in the city. The
young lady would attract attention any
where. If she is alive and unable to com
municate with her friends the theories of
a large per cent Of interested people will
materialize. If time proves that she was
foully dealt with, the fears of many will be
substlntiated.
