is He SCHLATTER?
A Man Registers as Francis
Schlatter at Beatrice, Neb.
He Resembled the Pictures Of
the Denver Healer.
SAY 1T IS NOT HE.
Another Report Says He Isn't
the Real Schlatter.
Believed His Denver Friends
Know Where He Is.

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 15.z-A special to
the Star from Beatrice, Neb, says: At 8
o'clock this morning N an came in over
the Union Pacific, went direct to a hotel
and registered as Francis Schlatter of
Denver in plain handwriting.
He asked for the KEY to the room, went
to bed and asked not to be called until
o'clock. The clerk on duty at the time
says he distinctly represents pictures of
Schlatter brought here from Denver.
OMAHA. Nov. ia special to the
Bee from Beatrice states that the man
who registered there as Francis Schlatter
is not the alleged "healeE" who disap-
peared from Denver yesterday. The
man at Beatrice is young man. 1t is
possible the man registered "Schlatter"
for joke.
denver, Nov. 15.-AIthough it is gem
orally believed that the whereabouts of
Francis SchlatteT, the "nealer" are
known to his closest friends in this city
the federal authorities have not succeed
ed in locating him.
The case against the men who
advertised to sell through the mails
handkerchiefs which they claim
ed. had been blessed by Schlat-
been continued until Saturday. Mean
time the efforts to fad Schlatter, who is
wanted as witness, will not be abaied.
A great crowd of afflicted per-
sons, seeking treatment at the
| hands of the healer. assembled
again this morning at the resi-
dence of ex-Alderman Fox, where
| SchIatter lived from September 1st
up to-the night of his unannounced de-
| parture, and many were sorely disap-
| pointed because he did not put in al ap-
pearance and resume his labors.
1t is generally believed that Schlatter
is with friends in some quiet retreat not
far away and it is not unlikely that he
! has begun another long fast.

MAI. HUDSON RETIRES.

Next Sunday the Present Editor Bids
Goodbye to the Paper.
Today's North Topeka Mail, whose
editor is a Capital stockholder, prints
the following:
With next Sundays issue of the Capt.
tai Major J. &. Hudson rstires as editor
in-chief of that paper. and sewers mis-
connection with it financially, as we'll as
editorially.
The Capital will pass into the control of
John r. and David W. Mulvane, they
having purchased controlling interest
in the stock OF the Topeka Capital com =
pany and also the mortgages covering
nearly S5e, 1000. There were 900
shares of the Capital stock, and
240 of these shares were sold by Major
! Hudson to various parties with the un-
| derstanding that the plant should be
cleared of its indebtedness. Major Hud-
sons 260 shares were deposited with
/ K. Mulvane, trustee, as collateral secur-
| ity against the outstanding debts, the
| agreement being that these shares should
| be sold whenever it became nee
essary to protect the other stock holders.
The foreclosure proceedings recently be-
! gun by Baker and others jeopardized
ers to such an extent that Major Hudson
promptly ordered his majority stock to
be sold for their protection and benefit,
subject, of course, to the various out
standing mortgages
The Mulvanes have purchased 200
shares of stock at a nominal fig
ure and will at once take charge
of the property, while Major Hud-
son, after stormy and eventful career
of seventeen years as publisher of the
Capital, will step down and out. 1t
is understood that the policy of the pa
per will not be materially changed, and
that for the present, at least, the busi-
ness management will remain the same.
1t is predicted in political circles that
Dave Mulvane will be the new editor in
chief, and that although he may not give
his entire time to the paper, he will be
the controlling spirit Major Hudson
will give his whole time to the state
printers Office which he expects to hold
four years; further than that his plans
are unknown.

DESERTED HER CHILD.

A Woman Calling Herself kellogg
Deserts Her swlY Bora Baby Girl.
Last evening Police Matron Thorpe, in
the patrol wagon took a little day old
baby to the Orphans home. and made it
an inmate. The child was born at five
o'clock yesterday morning, at 1917 Lime
street, and its mother, apparently re-
spectacle and we'll dressed, gave her
name as Kellogg, and said she lived on a
farm in Missouri, and that the chIlds
father was a hired man on her farm.
She refused to see the child or take
care of it and asked that it be taken
away.
The house at 1917 Lime street is occu-
pied by Mrs. Bacon, who said that Mrs.
Kellogg and her eight-year- old daughter
came to her house three weeks ago and
rented rooms. They kept very much in
seclusiou.
Mrs. Kellogg, as the woman calls her
self. refused also to name her child and
the best Mrs. Thorpe could do was to
take it to the Home.
The baby is little blue eyed girl and
Mrs. Thorpe has named it Jennie for
Mrs. Bacon and given it the name of
Kellogg.
The mother seems to be in very poor
circumstances and had not sufficient
clothing of any kind and cleanliness was
not present in the dirty dungeon of a
cellar in which she lay. She says her
farm is in DeKalb county, Missouri. but
that it is SO inortgaged that she will not
go back to it.
The woman will not be arrested and
compelled to take her child for fear she
will destroy it,

PEARY DISAPPOINTED.
Spent Years of Energy and All His Money
to Reach the Pole.


NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Morris K. Jesup
presided at the rece ption by the mem
bers of the American Geological society
Iass night at the American Museum of
Natural History TO Lieut.. Peary, the
Artic explorer. Lieut.. Peary read a
paper on Arctic expeditions.
II strained every energy for years and
spent every cent in my desire to reach
the north POLE" said Lieut. Peary.
"The desire to secure lasting reputa-
ton was not paramount with me. The
prime object, however, was not the dis
covery of the north pole, but to explore
the northern extension of Greenland
aud the adjacent lands l am disap-
pointed in not having accomplished all
OF nv object.
"Arctic explorations thus far. with two
exceptions have been carried on hap
hazard. The two exceptions are the
systematic and sustained expedition
of the British government resulting in
the discovery of the northwest passage,
and the exploration by Henry GrinneIl
under the liberal patronage of Baron
Dixon, when the northeast passage was
accomplished.
"The project of Andre, who proposes
to reach the pole by balloon, 1 would
prefer to forego until science has done
more to perfect such a means of carry
ing on expeditions"

SHOT BY A DETECTIVE.
A Private Detective Goes to the Point of
Killing "A man in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Edward Dix, a
private detective agency employe, shot
and killed Frank White in carriage on
the West Side last night. At the Central
police station this morning, he said he
thought that the man shot was Clarence
White, a man who had been sought for
months under a charge of burglarizing
the residence of Norman B. Ream, the
we'll known board of trade man. Dix
admitted that he may have been mis-
taken.
The agency has for several months
past had charge of what are known here
as the porch climbing" cases-the resi-
dences of several wealthy residents Of
the South side having been burglariZed
by gang which. it is alleged was head
ed by Clarence White, brother of the
murdered man and well known to the
police.
The agency has had a man watching
the residence of Mrs. White, mother OF
Frank and Clarence. and yesterday
evening received word that Clarence had
come to the house, apparently to pay
visit. Five operatives were at once sent
over, but by the tune they arrived the
spy announced that the women had driv
en- away from the house in buggy. The
detectives followed the route named and
met the buggy at the corner of Polk and
Latin streets.
Dix, who claims to be intimately sc-
quaiuted with Clarence White, says he
recognized him as one of the men in the
buggy, jumped to the bride of the horse
and called on White to surrender The
agency people assert that one Of the
men in the buggy Immediately drew a
revolver and fired a shot
Dix returned it and his companion
also began shooting. Dix dropped the
bride and the buggy was driven rapidly
away.
Some time later a man residing on
Hoyne avenue drove TO the West Thir-
teenth street station in a buggy contain
ing the corpse of the man later identified
as Frank White. There were several
bullet holes in the box of the buggy, and
in the bottom were found five bullets oi
large calibre.
The shooting has caused great deal
of discussion among attorneys and citi-
zens generally as to the assumption by
private agencies of authority to arrest
men without warrants. and by several
prominent attorneys much Indignation is
expressed.
The case promises to become q cele-
brated one in this line. as it is asserted
that in no state but Illinois are privas
detectives allowed such latitude.
N trace of Clarence White has beer
! found.
