Trying to Get a GLIMPSE.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4-Women for the
most part make up the steady stream of
curious who pass the house of Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt daily. Probably
nothing in this city attracts so may
slg'htseers as the home of the young
woman who will on Wednesday next be-
come the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH. 1t
must not be supposed that no men have
been attracted thither. There are num-
bers of them and their curiosity is keen.
The women are generally well-dressed
but there are many who evidently come
from the poorer parts of New York
Many of the pro1nenaders lnger about
the house, hoping to catch glimpse of
the bride-to-be.
The rehearsal of the wedding will take
place this (Mcnday) afternoon in ST.
Thomas church: There is some specuia-
ton as to whether the Duke of Marl-
borough will take part in it, because he
once said that he did not approve of
wedding rehearsals, and cared to go
through the service only once.
II has been arranged that Miss Rather
inc Duer and Miss Elsa Bronson will
lead the bridal procession: Then will
come Miss May Goelet and Miss Laura

Within am hour George Morgan, Ed

with the crime. Ida Gaskin was IL
years old. Her mother, a widow, lives
on the third floor of a tenement house

from her home early in the evening
Her mother searched for her, but failed
TO find any trace of the missing girl
AT about II O'Clock she reported to the
police station that her daughter was
missing. When the police search de-
veloped the murder three hours later, a
vigorous investigation led to the arrest
of Booker on suspicion.
While all were out of the room save
Mrs. Gaskin, her little son and "a Bee
reporter, the little boy remarked:

On being questioned he said that
during the afternoon George and Ed
sent me UP stairs to tell Ida they
wanted her."
The reporter learned that George
and Ed were Morgan and Sanford,
and that they occupied rooms on the
floor below. Hurriedly calling an Off

RUSHING RAILROADS.
Chicago City and Northern Pacific
Make a Grab For a Chicago Street

Make a Grab For n Chicago Street
CHICAGO, Nov All records in
the way of railway building were
broken in Chicago yesterday.
The Chicago City Railway company,
after massing men and material for
sixteen hours, began work on Indiana
avenue at Thirty-ninth street with the
beginning of the day and by 10 o'clock
had turned the horse car line from that
point TO F'ifty-first street into an electric
road. Three hundred men in that
time planted mile and a half of poles
and strung the necessary wire. AT
1912 o'clock a car, propelled by cleo
tricity, went over the track.
The Northern Pacific did almost as
remarkable piece of work. At 1 a. NJ.

rails. backed on its track on west
Fortieth street Sixteen hours later
another track was in it's place from
Washington boulevard to Taylor street,
a distance of nearly two miles. This
piece of work was done to forstall the
Ogden Avenue Electric Street Railway
company who had its eye on the street.
The street railway company had al
ready one track down and as the
trolley poles were placed in position
last week, the Northern Pacific took no
chances of losing an opportunity to

there. but there was no need of their
presence.
The Northern Pacific claim the right
to the street by a franchise granted by
the old town of Cicero. The Union

in which no injunctfons can be served.
Three hundred men labored all day
and the same number all night.

ARMENIAN MISSIONARIES.
ARMENIAN NATIONAL UNION ISSUE
AN APPEAL To THE PUBLIC,
Urging That the American Minister
to Turkey Resist the Demands
of the Turkish Government In
voIving the Withdrawal of Mis-
sionaries.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The following
was issued today by the Armenian Ma
tional Union:
To the American Public:
While the horrible butcheries and
the appalling outragcs OF Armenia are
being carried on with no abatement,
while famine, as a. result of the bar
barrie Turkish regime, is raging, threat
ening death to those who have escaped
the swords of the Turkish soldiers, the
civilized world is informed by the re-
cent cable adviceS that the Turkish
populace, as we'll as the government,
demand the immediate withdrawal of
the missionaries who are administering
relief to the famine-stricken survivors
of last years Sassoun massacres.
AS the patriarchate of Constantine
pie has been allowed by the Turkish
government to send relief to the Ar
menians of Sassoun and Moosh, the
missionaries of the American board
were entrusted with the phila nthropic
work of distributing relief and help to
those who are in need and danger of
starvation.
The presence of the representatives
of the American people had not failed
to inspire assurances to the Armenians
anu dEdlllSl 1lSSli
and assault. Their withdrawal has
been demanded with threats of a still
more horrible massacre.
Courageous missionaries.
The noble missionaries are not afraid
of the threats and they undauntedly
carry on their good work. Gable adj
vices from Constantinople are to the
effect that Minister Terrill has complied
with the demands Of the Turks and
ordered the missionaries to their re-
spective posts. Believing that the
withdrawal of the missionaries from
the famine-stricken district will not
only deprive the Armenians of their
much needed relief, but will also ex-
pose them to the fury, fanaticism and
cruelties of the now checked Turks,
the Armenian National Union request
the American people who have been
quick to sympathize with all suffering
races, to insist upon their executive to
instruct the minister at Constantine
pie to by no means comply with the
demands of the Turks by ordering the
missionaries to withdraw from the field
of their philanthropic work as admin
istrators of relief and insp1rers OF con-
ffdence and assurance.
This general appeal was unanimously
adopted at the regular meeting of the
Armenian National Union.
In behalf of the Armenian National
Union. 7. b. kAU NGiAN,

Scenes at the Jail.

OMAHA. Nov. 1.-THE murder and rape
of little Ida Gaski1 was positively
traced to George Morgan. a teamster.
He lives near where the body was found
and was the last man seen with her.
His clothes were covered with blood when
arrested. So great was the feeling against
the prisoner that he was hurriedly re-
moved to the penitentiary. at noon.
Later. a committee appointed by. those
favoring lynching went through the. Jail
to satisfy the people that the murderer
was not there. Tonight crowd of sew
eral hundred people surrounded the Jail.
They were orderly and drawn more by
curiosity than any disposition to do v1o-
lence. Early in the morning, as soon
as the papers had given out the informa-
ton of the terrible crime, g, crowd was
about the doors of the morgue. The
body was taken to the ground floor and
then admission was granted to all. From
that early hour until a little after noon,
when it was thought advisable to shut
the doors and refuse further admittance,
the morgue was thronged. A steady line
of people poured in, each person stopping
to gaze a moment with yelling eyes upon
that innocent face.
1t was estimated that before noon 5000
people had looked upon the dead body
They were men OF all classes business
men, laboring men and men of no occu-
patton. There were many women. also
of all classes, among them evidently
many mothers, whose features. while be-
dewed with tears. expressed a fierce
something which caused the mems faces
to harden more.

GENERAL HARRISON AS COUNSEL.
Large Crowd Drawn to the Court of
Appeals to Hear His Argument.

Appeals to Hear His Argument
CHICAGO, Nov. 4-The fact that ex-
President Harrison would be present
as counsel in the case of the Standard
Elevator company VS.. the Crane Ele-
vator company, attracted a large crowd
10 the session Of the United States cir
cult court of appeals today. The case
is a celebrated one and has in the past
involved personal encounters between
the attorneys.
General Harrison was the first to adj
dress the court on the appeal today.
He charged Attorney Raymond and the
Crane Elevator company with taking
the Standards model from the old post
office building and leaving his side han
dicapped.
There was a futter of excitement at
the making of the charge General
Harrison recounted the declarations of
the ex-assiStant custodian Of the post
office building, the janitor of the fed
eral circuit court as to the removal of
the models.
Mr.. Raymond made emphatic denial
that he and his associates were respon-
sible for the abstraction of the models
and said if they had been removed by
Crane employees, it was through error.
After considerable further argument
General Harrison Sald ne nad DIue
prints and could proceed with them.
He simply did not wish to be held re-
sponsfble for any fault if in the course
of the trial 1T becomes apparent that
the model itself should be in court.
This statement set matters right and
Judge Woods saying the bench being
familiar with models. could proceed
with the prints.
The expected investigation of the
disappearance of the models vanished,
and Mr.. Brown aided the court with

involved.
