HIS TROUBLES ENDED.
Death of j. Fletcher Williams
Overvyork for the State

Overvvork for the State.
st. Paul, May l. - Assemblyman
W. r. Johnson received a telegram
from Rochester stating that J. Fletch-
err Williams, ex-secretary Of the Min
nesota Historical society, had died
there. Mr.. Johnson placed the dircc-
ton of the funeral arrangements in
the hands Ct William Danpier, who
left for Rochester to bring the re-
mains home to st. Paul. The funeral
will be taken in charge by the Odd
Fellows.
Mr.. Williams death resulted from
softening of the brain. brought on by
too close application to books and to
his work as secretary of the Minneso-
ia Historical society. He was always
a devoted student, and, after working
hard over the books in the rooms OF
the society, would go home and
study far into the night. The strain
finally proved too much and he gave
way. He spent the winter Of 1923
in California in search of health. but
came back without having been bene-
fitted. He grew rapidly worse, until
last December, when W. r. Johnson
was appointed his guardian. and he
was sent to s;lnitarium in Miiwal-
kee. A few weeks ago IL beca me ap-
parent that nothing could be done for
him there, and he was brought to
Rochester, where he died this morn
ing. He leaves 4 wife and four chill
dren, one daughter, living with her
mother at the family homestead, p
1glehart street, another married and
living in Milwaukee, and a son, Lewis,

BIG RIOT IN CHICAGO.
LIVELY TIMES AT A COAL COM

Chicago May 1. - A reduction

at tho docks of the O. S. Richardson
Coal company. Three men We're in

twenty officers to quell the disturb

Lawrence Vent. coal HEAVIER. badly
pounded with a club; unknown by
stander, knocked down and badly
beaten.
To-day was the first of the coal
beavers season. and before work be-
gan on their first barge the Richard
son company announced that it would
not pay the old rate of y cents, but
would cut the price to cents. The
union men refused to accept the cut
and the work proceeded with non
union men. Later 300 union men
marched to the dock and demanded
that the non-uniOn men stop their
work. They refused. and the mob at
once attacked them. The company
cured the detail of four policemen to
protect their men. Several of the men
made rush on Officer Streeter, and.
knocking him down, proceeded to
kick him about the head and body.
They. in spite of the other officers,
drove all the workmen away from the
derricks and compelled work to cease
for about an hour. The three officers
seeing that they were unable to make
any Roadway against the mob, sent
word to RaWson street police station
for assistance, and in 4 few minutes
twenty officers unde: Capt. Koch ar
rived on the scene. They quickly
drove back the crowd. but were COM
pelled to fire several shots in the air
to cow the strikers. A small detail
was then left to guard the dock and
the work progressed without further
interruption.
The Richardson company declared
that it reduced the scale because the
meA could make 81 day at cents L
ton. and they thought that under pres
ent conditions of business that was
enough fer them to pay. Several 9th
or coal firms have declared that they
will not pay more than 3, and more
trouble is looked for when the coal
season is fairly on.

MURDER WILL OUT.
A Crime Committed Sixteen Years
Ago Just Comes to Light

ago Just zones to Light.
Philadelphia, April 3O.-While the
larger portion Of the population of
Philadelphia was attending church,
there lay on a desk in a dingy little
room down town the skull of muir
dered woman. There for six long
hours was unfolded q horrible story
of crime. The central figure in the
story is James E. Logue-known to
the police departments of the CONT
nent as Jimmy" Logue, burglar,
bank robber and one of the most no.
torious all-around crooks in the an
nails Of crime. The case turned up on
the murder of one of this mans
wives, Johanna Logue, but it was n
fitting climax to a remarkable tale
that proved that he was not her muir
derer. On the night of Feb. ~, 1919,
Johanna Logue vanished as suddenly
and as completely as if the earth had
opened and swallowed her. The news
papers at the time were full of it, re-
wards were offered and no one was
more indefatigible in his efforts to To-
cate the woman than Logue himself.
On Oct. 16, 1893, fourteen years after
ward. a carpenter repairing the house
at 1850 North Eleventh street, tore
I'D some boards in the kitchen and
there found the skeleton of a woman
When it became known that Logue
and his wife had lived in the house
suspicion at once pointed to him as
the murderer, but all search for him
proved unayailing. Recently he gave
himself up and then caused the Vr-
rest Of Alphonso Cutaier, Jr., the IL
legitimate son of one of Logue's al
legged wives. on the charge Of COM
hitting the murder. Cutaier says that
the woman was drunk and that he
tied her in bed, and that she was
smothered while trying to release
herself. The story is not believed,
and Cutaier is thought to have killed
her to secure possession of $1,000 in
jewels and $4,000 ia money

born at Clayton, near Ipswich, Eng
land, in 1924. He came to Canada
when he was twenty-five years of age
and started in business at Charlotte
town, Prince Edward Island, and in
1862 went to Victoria, where he en-
gagged in mercantile business and has
since remained. He was in the mill
tary service years ago and organized
volunteer companies to defend Van
couver island during the Fenian
troubles. He retired from the service
in 1881, having attained the rank of

MANY LIVES LOST.
Frightful Disaster in the Epinal
District of France,

~AosAASS Va II I"AScs
Hpinal, France, April 3O.-The great
Bousey dyke Of the Epinal district of
the Vosges burst and a great rush Of
water and much loss Of life followed
The indications are that the loss of
life will be very heavy. Enormous
damage has been done in the sur
rounding country. The railways in
all directions are interrupted and a
large number Of villages are entirely
flooded. In a single commune, that
OF Uxegeny, seven kilometers from
the scene of the disaster proper,
twenty-three persons were drowned
At NomeXy eight bodies Lave been
found. Wherever the water flowed
it destroyed everything in it's path.
The village Of ,Bousey, with it's ex-
tensive pisiculture establishment. has
disappeared. At Darnieulles all the
houses were destroyed and only a few
were spared at Auxiorges. Hundreds
Of families have been rendered home
less, and many who were asleep at
the time lost their clothes. The dam
age done by the food was immense,
and it is believed will amount to $1O,-
100000.

hour. One hundred and fifteen deaths
have already been reported, but only
fifty bodies have been recovered. 1t
is believed that the death list will be
greatly in excess of the figures above
given when all the districts are heard
from. 1t is supposed that many of
the dead were swept into isolated
places where it will be long time be-
fore the bodies are found. The whole
region over which the thousands of
tons of water swept in a resistless
flood, is streWn with every sort of
Wreckage, and the whole country
presents most desolate appearance.
In many places the early crops We're
swept clean out Of the ground, and
the losses thus incurred will be very
heavy.
Six brigades of gendarmes have ar
rived and they have been detailed to
act as guards. Every attempt is be-
ing made to reorganize the district.
but this is rendered difficult by the
waters. The Aviere, a small stream,
is now in some places a mile and a
half wide. The railway in the vicin.
ity of the Darnieulles station was
torn up. Railroad ties were swept
away, and the embanl,nents de-
stroyed. Nearly every bridge in the
line of the flood WAS either destroyed
or so badly damaged that they will
have to be rebuilt.

London, April 3O-The trial of Oscar
Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged
with serious misdemeanors, was re-
sumed at the Old Bailey court to-day,
with a large attendance. Alfred Wood
was examined and was cross-ex-
amined by Sir Edward Clarke, .. c.,
counsel for Wilde, but his evidence
was not shaken. Frederick Atkins,
described as variety singer, gave ev-
idence as to knowing Alfred Taylor
and others mentioned during the trial
When Edward Shelby, the former
employe of the publishers, Matthews
Il Lane, was testifying. and was
asked to tell the jury what had oc-
CURED at Oscar Wilde's rooms, the
witness pathetically appealed to coun-
sci to read it from his previous depb-
sition, and thus spare him the pain
of repeating it. Counsel, however,
made the witness repeat the story
The day was occupied by the exam
ination of the same witnesses who
have already been called to the stand,
and the testimony was Of the same
character as already outlined.
