MURDERED BYDETECTWES
Members of a Chicago Agency
to Be Prosecuted for Killing
Frank White.
The Police Say 1t Will Be Easy to
Prove That the Shooting Was
Not Accidental.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 15.-The killing
of Frank White, brother of Clarence, a
criminal well known to the local police, by
operatives of detective agency, is likely
to result in trial for murder. The Coro-
ner to-day held Operative Edward J. Dix
to answer before the Grand Jury without
bail. Half an hour after the action of the
Coroner the city police invaded the de-
tective agency and arrested the other five
operatives who took part in the shooting of
White.
1t is now settled beyond question that
Clarence White, the man whom the oper-
atives claimed they had killed while try
ing to serve a warrant, was in the buggy
with his dead brother at the time of the
killing. The police say it will be easy to
prove the shooting was not accidental, be-
cause it is known that no shots were fired
at any time by the brothers, and the dead
man received two fatal wounds from differ
ent directions.
With the exception of one man, every
representative of the detective agency was
arrested tonight, including Superinten-
dent Charles Mcdonald. Late this even
ing city detectives succeeded in locating
Clarence White, the man whom the Berry
agency operatives supposed they were kill
ing when they fired four shots in the body
of his brother. Clarence White says that
neither he nor his brother was armed. and
that no shots were fired from the buggy.

THE ANTICS OF THE CREDULOUs
Friends Accept the Departure as An.
other Manifestation in the Ex.
Cobbler's Career.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 15.-The retreat
of Francis Schlatter, the healer, has been
well covered. 1t would seem that where
he is so well known he could not move fa1
without being discovered, but this man is
not like ordinary men. He has suffered
privations in Arizona deserts so severe that
few days of fasting in the Coloradoi hills
during comparatively mild weather is nc
hardship. Besides, he is SO respected by
the general public that were he to request
seclusion and privacy he would be granted
it without question. Hence he may be at
Rooney's ranch, near the Garden of the
Angels at Morrison; or he may be quietly
resting nearer the city.
The railroad conductor running between
Denver and Golden is the only individual
to positively assert having seen Schlatter
after he left the Fox residence.
Schlatter's warm friends have accepted
his departure as only another manifesto
tior in his remarkable career, though they
disagree as to the purport OF his farewell
message. Whether he meant to say that
his earthly mission was ended or that his
Denver mission only was closed they can
not decide He may appear Unexpectedly
in Chicago or some remote hamlet, or he
may never again be seen. If he has been
conscious that he has been playing part
all these months he has chosen a happy
way to end the farce. Few take this view
many think him crazy, but many more be-
lieve he has left Denver to again begin his
healing elsewhere.
All day long the curious stood about the
Fox house, talking of the man and relat-
ing incidents and stories of cures. Many
came to sound his praises, others to get a
souvenir in the shape of a bit from the
fence where he stood during the fifty Eight
days of his missionary work. Mr.. Fox
was finally compelled to dig up the fence
post for fear it would be stolen and cut
into bits to be sold by fakirs. Some per-
sons wanted to stand in the same place
where Schlatter had stood and many laid
their handkerehiefs there, believing it
would give them the healing power.
The postmaster now holds the daily
mail numbering several thousand letters,
awaiting Schlatter's orders. The Federal
officials will drop the case against the
handkerchief fakirs.
Of the remarkable cures performed by
Schlatter stories continue to multiply
Scientific men may be able to account fol
these upon the evidence presented, but to
the common people the apparent facts are
enough to convince them, and they hail
this man as genuine in all his claims.

Presided at a Meeting in Behalf of Pres

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. ia grand
central meeting in behalf of the Presby-

in Carnegie Music Hail. The fact that ex-
President Harrison was to preside at the
meeting drew an immense crowd to the
hall.
Ex-President Harrison was introduced
to the audience by the Rev. John II.
Davies, who concluded his remarks, per
NIT me to introduce to you great and
good man-Benjam Harrison, ex-Presi-
dent of the United States, who will pre-
side over your meeting"
The applause that greeted the ex-Presl-
dent when he arose was deafening. After
expressing his appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him in asking him to pre-
side over the meeting he said "The Pres
byterian church has been greatly, perhaps
unduly, celebrated for It's power of resist
ance. 1t has kept the command to stand
fast very we'll. 1t has stood fast for love
and for liberty the world round. 1t has
stood fast for education. 1t has been in
the United States the pioneer of educa-
ton. 1t has stood for the highest scholar
ships, but it has equally stood against that
pseudo altitudinous philosophy that from
study OF God one finds that there is no
God, and that from a study of his word
one finds that he has given us no word.
(Applause). And it still stands for the
essential doctrine of the inspired word"
Ex-President Harrison then introduced
Rev. DR.. r. r. Booth, who offered the
prayer Rev. DR.. John Hall read passage
from the Scriptures, after which the chair
man introduced ex-Secretary of State

Then Chained to the Deck and
Left Without Food for
Days.
EYELASHEs ALSO PLUCKED OUT.
Scars of the Victim Shown in Court as
Evidence of the Pitiful
Story Told.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 15.-Captain
Young Of the British ship Nellie Troop
was arrested yesterday afternoon while on
board his ship at the foot of Montague
street, Brooklyn, on the ground that he
was about to sail and that Charles Corker,
a seaman, would not receive the wages due
him.
Corker, who was born in Lahore, India.
testified that in August, 1894, he shipped
from this port on the Nellie Troop. He
was, while on board, violently beaten by
the boatswain and mate. He was, he said,
gagged, chained and beaten with ropes,
Delaying pins and iron bars. He was also
in terrible agony from the plucking out of
his eyelashes aud mustache.
The scars on his face were pointed out
to Judge Beatty by Corker. The Judge
said he was satisfied that his sufferlngs
must have been agonizing. After having
been chained to the deck he was left, he
said, without food until he almost died OF
starvation. He only got two biscuits each
day to eat.
Captain Young denied that he knew or
Corker's ill-treatment until he was told or
it by the plaintiff. Judgment was given
Cosker for $195 back wages. On paying
this amount Captain Young was DIS
charged from custody.

The Treasury Department Communicates
Nth the Bankers.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 15.-It is
rumored that the Treasury Department
has communicated with the New York
bankers with view to making an arrange
ment for the restoration of the gold re-
serve. The proposition is that when the
reserve falls to $4,000, 900, the banks shall
furnish $25, 100000 in gold, for which they
viii receive per cent bonds on per
cent basis. The idea is regarded with
favor by the banks, as they would rather
supply gold than experience another tinan-
cial disturbance.
3 Thomas B. Reed, who is slated for
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
has spent some time IN New York recently
discussing currency questions with bank
ers. He, it is said, has intimated that he
will oppose the proposed retirement of the
greenbacks by an issue of bonds. He
found that the bankers as rule objected
to the wiping out of the greenbacks If
there is to be no other form OF money to
take their place. While the treasury state
ment shows $346, 100000 of greenbacks out
standing, experts estimate that amount in
actual circulation is less than $500, ,0OO, 600.
