responsible for the change.
The buying Of the better class of securI-

not entirely relieved Of its professional

good demand from the room and moderate

improvement in prices. The market fails
to broaden noticeably, but strong financial
interests are disposed to Increase present

Two reasons are advanced for the failure
to take immediate action. namely. gold eX-

fact that the shipments are largely in the
nature of loans. The financial situation is
not likely to become embarrassed thereby.
and a possible stiffening in money rates
should not prove harmful.
The tariff outlook IL more problemattcal

CLEVELAND, Ohio. May 10.-Friends of
Senator Hanna who called to see him today
were somewhat surprised at his appear
al ce. He Is not looking well and during
the strain of the late campaign he never
looked worse than he does today.
Il have come home to rest" said Mr..
Hanna. Il am not going to my Office dur
ing my stay here. 1 shall not talk politics
while 1 am here. In fact, 1 am tired out"
His looks did not belle his statements.
The Senator will get back to Washington in
time to vote on the tariff bill. He admitted
tina; the measure didn't quite suit him. but
expressed the belief that 1t would be good
republican measure when finally passed.
In discussing the Ohio situation Mr.. Han
ma said: L really do. Eot know whether
Mclean and Sorg are TO be the principal
names on the democratic side this fall or
not hear all sorts of rEmors. Some say
that Sorg VIII run and some say he won't [.
l don't know.
1T really don't make any difference, how
ever. republicans are going to carry Ohio
this fall. The question of party factions
should not be raised at all at this impor-
tant time 1 know that this talk of dissen-
sion is disagree cable to Senator Foraker and
it certainly is to me. The republicans of
the state will be entirely united this fall
and will win the battle in that way. The
Gate for the state convention is quite salts
factory to me. 1 was oppt sed TO holding a
late convention. 1t has usually been held
in June and l saw not the slightest reason
for altering the custom this year" Con-
dnuing. he said:
1t Is not true that inteDd to come home
and take any part in personally superin-
tending my own campaign for election
shall not>be in Ohio again until the state
convention. and then only for a few DAYS
just about that time expect the tariff bill
to be about In shape for a vote and l shall

NEW YORK, May 10.-"Never mind who

This note, written on telegraph blank.
was found on the body of a woman taken
from the park reservoir off 96th street
Cay. II was undoubtedly case of suicide,
but il is cl.ud in mystery, and the woman
took every precaution to conceal her idea
tity. From one of the letters addressed to
the officials in charge of the Flesh Pond
crematory. it would appear that the mo-
tive for her deed was unreQuited love. The
body was that of a woman about thirty
years old, five feet six inches in height of
fine proportions and face of striking
beauty set off by magnificent black hair.
Some of her Undertaking had the stamp
of ''Schleisinger & Mayer. Chicago upon
it. Not another scrap of writing was found
en- her that would disclose her identity.
Besides the note given above. there was in
her pocket a letter addressed to the cor
cner asking that her body be crenra ted ;
sjb. she said. would be found in her left
shoe, and if not II would surely arrive IN
due time before her incineraton. The
money was not found in the shoe. but
there was postscript to the letter which
read as follows:
Il trust all will be done right I'm s0rry
cannot delay this matter. Money not re-
ceived: will be sent to the coroner
Another letter is to the Fresh Pond crena-
tory authorities in which the writer ex-
pressed a wish to be crema ted. and begged
that Mendelssonn's Wedding March lie
played before the body was incinera ted
The disposition of the ashes is provided
for in a mysterious fashion. A torn paper
was inclosed. with the direction tina. her
ashes be turned over to the person who
should present the other fragment.
The papers were turned over to Coroner
Hoeber and the woman's body was sent TO
the morgue.

JOHN HELLER's LOSS.

John Heller, a middle-aged man. with one
leg missing, yesterday entered house or

die Brown, and went to sleep on a sofa
When he awokc ne found that 80 had been
extracted from one of his pockets. As a
direct outcome of the occurrence, the pro-

the Police Court for keeping a bawdy
house. and Maggie Elmore, Julia Newman
and Desdemona Jennings. inmates of the
house. were sent to the workhouse for
three months each as Migrants by Judge

The Jennings woman made a strong plea
for mercy. She is a married woman, she
told the court, with a husband living i'm
this city. She refused to div1lge the identi-
ty of her husband, or his residence, but
promised to leave the city IL released.
The plea had no effect on Judge Kimball
who. in imposing sentence. stated that ha
intends to do all in his power to break up
the practices OF such women. Every inhab-
liant of the Division is a vagrant added
the court. and if all sholld be brought be-

BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Michigan Judge Decides It's Use Their.
liz Unconstitutional

In UncOnstitutiOnnl,
Judge Carpenter in the circuit court Of
Detroit. Mich. has granted a mandamus
upon the petition of Conrad Pfeifrer for
the board Of education to show cause wby
the reading of the Bible should be further
continued in the public schools. Mr.
Pfeiffer set up in his petition that his son.
as pupil at the schools. was Obliged to
attend religious worship, and that he him
self. as taxpayer. was compelled to assist
in maintaining places for the dissemination
of religious teachings, contrary to the con-
stitution Of the state. The direct charge
was that book entitled Readings From
the Bible" introduced by the school board
was read to the pupils by the teachers
every day.
The court held that the sole question
involved was whether or not the constitu-
ton of the state was violated. The court
said the constitution prohibits all religious
teaching in the public schools or 1t pro-
hibits none. The provision against com
peiling person to pay taxes for the sup
port Of teacher of religion either forbids
the proposed use of readings from the
Bible or 1t forbids nothing. ut seems to
me clear. he said. that such teacher is a
teacher of religion toward whose support
therefore. the constitution in explicit Ian
guage forbids such proposed use."
In closing Judge Carpenter said: Re
spondent's proposed Readings From the
Bible in the public schools IL in direct con-
fict with constitutional provisions, and re-
lator, whose constitutional rights are there
by violated, has a right to redress"

back by members OF the crew. The crew
worked like beavers to put out the flames
The matches. buTlap. etc, which caught
fire were stored only a short distance away
from the steerage apartments.
Along shore today il was thought strange
that the fire was not discovered earlier 1t
must have been smoldering several days.
ard yet neither the captain nor any of the
officers knew anything about 1t until the
vessel was filled with smoke.
G. &. Mallory Makes Statement.
Charles C. Mallory made a brief state
ment today. in which he said:
Il do not attach any blame to the can
tain of the Leona- He tells me that the
greatest credit is due to the officers and
crew OF the Leona- He says that every
effort was made to awaken the passengers
and such of the crew as had turned in by
the usual frealarm signals, consisting of
bells and whistles"
The Storage passengers who survived
the catastrophe will sail on the Lamoasas
on Wednesday. Some of the cabin passen-
gers left by rail today for their deStina-
ton and others will remain over for the
Lampasas. The people who were smother

tries in Europe only short time ago.
