trial for the killing of B. F. Pietzel. has
not been idle in crime although as
closely guarded prisoner in the PAila-
delphia county prison He has engineer
ed what is obviously a cunning scheme.
Although deprived of writing material.
and in spite of every precautiOn taken
to prevent his communication with any
one out side, it seems he has written
what purports to be a sketch of his
career.
The law officers of the commonwealth
have been astounded by the publication
of Advance sheets and the announce
ment that book written by Holmes on
the margins of other books in the sOli
tude of his cell, will follow shortly.
They will be astounded when they learn
for the first time in this dispatch that
the volume is the outcome of an idea
originating in the brain of the prisoner
which is all ready for working, but
which the local authorities being thus
forewarned may perhaps forbid.
The scheme. worthy of a HOlmes,is this:
During his travels throughout the coun-
try he has had business and social rela-
tons with many persons of undOubted
responsibility. He has, with unusual
cunning, kept a record of all these trans
actions. The major portion of these
any suspicion of wrong doing, but they
are to be made the vehicle for securing
sufficient funds for his defense.
The opening chapters of his book, pub
lished in one of the local papers. are de-
void of anything that would offend the
most fastidious. They rehearse the
earlier doings of a New Hampshire lad

est of the three Mexicans, who are in

at Gillette on August oath.

received and accepted special favors and
a remuneration from the management
for the permission of having the fight to

No Evidence That He Put Up Job to
Defraud.
KANSAS CITY. Sept 3-It is probable
that Uncle Jake Crowley, James Trip
lett and George Harvey, who testified
to seeing DR.. Fraker drown, will be ar
rested on charges of perjury and there
may oe some very startling develop
ments in the case in the next few days.
A gentleman prominently connected
with one of the insurance companies vic
timized by Fraker. takes a less confident
view of the situation. He said: alt is
very unlikely that Fraker can be held on
any charge He disappeared but he
never put in a claim for any life in
surance. The insurance has been paid,
hut there is not any proof that he re-
ceived cent, or tried to get a cent.
''The money was paid without any ac-
tuai proof OF death. 1t can never be
proved that Frdker actually put up job
to defraud the companies without his
own admission, and even if it were
proven, nothing could be recovered on
account of the manner in which the
money has been distributed among the
heirs !"

Arunaway farm team dashed against
the Equal Suffrage hack yesterday in the
parade and shook up the occupants, Mrs.
Annie Diggs, Mrs. DR.. McLallin, Mrs.

Pacific Coast Cities Fear They are in the
Greatest Danger.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 3-The pres

local board of health is already adopting

seriously menanced by the scourge as
now.
Winter is no protection against the
disease, as the germs flourish in all tenn

heath ordinances mnst be vigorously
enforced.

TELLS HOW HOT IT FEELS.
Weather Charts Will Hereafter Givo the
Sensible Temperature.

NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-Prof Willis F.
Moore, the chief of the United States
weather bureau stopped in this city on
his way to Wash ington from Boston and
paid visit to weather forecaster Dunn.
Chief Moore had a long consultation
with Mr. Dunn, the outcome of
which will be that in the
near future an important addition
will be made to the daily charts that are
issued from the weather bureau in this
city. These charts, in addition to show
ing the air temperature, which has been
the custom for years, will also show the
sensible temperature. This government
is the first to adopt sensible temperature
reports.
The sensible temperature takes in the
humidity also. Persons who complain
that they were never so warm before
may find, upon an examination of the
sensible temperature, that it is actually
cooler by several degrees than it was the
day previous.

that the opportunity to roast the Repub-
