take up his work on the life of Lincoln, in
connection with Mr.. Nicolay. For sew
eral years he made his home in Wash
ington, where he has been one of
the leaders in the brilliant intellectual
circles of the capital. Col. Hay has won
even more repute by his literary work
than by his activity in politics and diplo-
macy. His most important book, THE
Life of Lincoln" written in collaboration
with John G.. Nicolay. was published
first as a serial in the Century and
later in several volumes. 1t embodies the
intimate knowledge of Lincoln and his
career gained by his private secretaries

a large part OF the stirring events with
which IL deals, and is regarded as con-

Importance
Col. Hays poems have gained for
him a wide reputation as a keen
humorist and sympathetic observer of
human nature. His pike County Bal
lads published in 1871: Jim Bludso''
and Little Breeches'' have become ex-
ceedingly popular. a complete collection
of his poems was published in 1890. His
''Castilian Days" studies of Spanish life
and character, the fruit of his sojourn in
Spain as a diplomatic officer of the
United States, appeared in 1871.
Throughout his career, Mr. Hay has
given evidence of the possession of un-
usual gifts. He is a man of honor as
well as of ability; cultivated by reading
and travel and intercourse with leading
men in many lands; ready in wit and
abounding in tact, and a good fellow
so far as one can be without the loss
of personal dignity.

to compel Secretary Gage to deliver to
him or to the Produce Exchange Trust
Company of New York certain bonds of
the recent $500, ,000, 900 war loan which were
Subscribed for by the plaintiff.
This petition is almost identical with
the one in the Wightman case. The Pro-
duce Exchange Trust Company is made
a defendant in the same sense. The COM
plainant says that Secretary Gage has
refused, and still refuses, to deliver or to
forward the bonds or any part of them

pose of prosecuting these suits.

TO HONOR'S BLOODY FIELD.
An EX-ROugh Rider Challenges
Richard Harding Davis

Richard HnrutnS
New York, Sept. 30.-Some interest and
considerable amusement has been excited
in Bohemian and club circles in this city
by the challenging TO mortal combat of

Hall adjutant and the latter went with
the command to Cuba.
When Wood led his men into action II
was alleged by many of his comrades

According to the story very fully and

Col. Theodore Roosevelt induced Adjt.
Hall to resign and leave the service For
some reason the Davis articles which
have been uncomplimentary to the cour-

In a rather obvious way the Journal got
hold of the story, and it is alleged was
about to publish it Thursday morning
But 1t is stated in the Tenderloin and
other knowledgable places that Hall went

ROLL|NGER NOW
 FEIGNS INSANITY Held for the Murder of
 His Wife. PRETENDS TO BE INDIFFERENT sToLIDLY SPARES WHEN FACED BY LENA KICKER. Remarkable Similarity in This Case to That of Adolph Luetgert,
 the Chicago Sausage
 Maker.
PRETENDS TO BE INDIFFERENT
STOLIDLY SPARES WHEN FACED
 BY LENA KICKER.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The Coroner's inquest was begun to-day in the case of Mrs. Michael RolIinger who, the police assert, was murdered and partially ere
 mated by her husband. The accused man somewhat startI~- the police and spectators when confronted by Lena Hecker, the woman for whose sake the crime is alleged to have been commit ted, by stolidly staring at her and then declaring that he did not know her and never even saw her before. This action, coupled with his apparent utter indif- ference to his surroundings, leads the police to believe that Rollinger is feigning insanity.
 The Journal to-day points out twenty points ofremarkable similarity between the case of Rollinger and that of Adolph Luetgert, who is now serving a life sentence for wife murder. Love of a woman, other than the wife, is said to have been the leading cause of both alleged murders. Each of the mur- ders, it is claimed, was caused by Both men, one of whom was a sausage maker and German, the other butcher and an Austrian, quarreled continually with their wives and suffered business reverseS prior to the alleged crimes. Luetgert and ROl- finger were well acquainted with each other and lived in the same quarter of the city. In the Rollinger case, as in that of Luetgert, a wedding ring will play an important part in the estab lishment of the corpus delicti. Mrs. Rollinger's body has been exhumed and her wedding ring cut from her finger.
 As a result of the inquest Rollinger was held without bail on a charge of murder, and Lena Hecker was ordered detained as a witness. In her testi- mony before the Coroner's Jury, Miss Hecker stated that Rollinoer had asked her to marry him, saying that in two months time everything would be all right" Other witnesses testified that Rollinger frequentl-- beat his wife.

BRYAN DID NOT

Denies That He Went to New York to Consult the Iron and
 Steel King.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-Colonel William J. Bryan passed through the city tonight on his way home. He was met by friends, with whom he dined.
 'Is it true that you went to New York for the purpose of consulting with Car negie?" Colonel Bryan was asked.
 No, it is not true. Personal business took me to New York. held no confer ence with Mr. Carnegie. l have read his opinion in reference to annexation and the military question and am very glad, indeed, to know that he has taken the position which he has"
 In reference to the annexation and ex- pansion question, Colonel Bryan said that he stood where he always had stood, op- posed to a headlong policy of imperialism by the annexation of any conquered ter ritory without the consent of the gov erned.
 Little indication of Colonel Bryans re- cent rank in the army appears in his ap- parel. although white campaign hat would suggest to the passer-by that the wearer probably had seen service. He has apparently completely recovered his health.

OCCUPYING ROOMS IN AN ELLI

The Gamewell Fire Alarm Company Claims He Is Short in His
 Accounts.

The GameweIl Fire Alarm Company is trying to get some trace of R. A. Rose, it's Pacific Coast agent, who has been missing for the past three weeks. It is alleged by the company that he Is short in his ac- counts to the extent of at least 5000.
 It was learned that man answering to the description of the missing agent was lodging in a house on Ellis street, near Van Ness avenue, and a representative of The Call called on him last night. He admitted that his name was Rose, but refused positively to make any statement whatever. He kept the door closed and concealed himself in the room, and all questions had to be transmitted through the medium of his wife.
 He was asked point blank if he had represented the Gamewell Fire Alarm Company on this coast, and if, among other things, he had sold a storage bat tery to the city of Alameda for 5000 with out forwarding the money to his em- ployers, but he preferred to remain silent, saving that he would answer all questions at the proper time.
 From the family occupying other rooms in the house the information was elicited that Rose and his wife have been living there but two days.

Valen- tine, who keeps a pawn shop on Ellis street, contended that his wife deserted him without cause. This Mrs. Valentine denies, and by way of cross-complaint states that her husbands attachment for a song-and- dance artist broke up their home. Her husband bought the song-and- dance woman a victoria that took first prize at the Worlds Fair, she alleges, and the song -and-dance artist, in order to make known her appreciation, lived with her defendant husband. For these reasons Mrs. Valentine asks that she be granted a divorce on the ground of inf delity.

BRUTAL NEGRO SOLDIER
 KILLED BY A CONDUCTOR
Created a Disturbance on Street Car and Then Tried to Use a
 Knife

MACON, Ga, Dec. 22-Private Turner (colored) of the Sixth Virginia Volunteer Regiment was shot and almost instantly killed by O. s. Thrower, a street car con- ductor this afternoon. Turner, very drunk, boarded Thrower's car and used vile language in the presence of ladies. Thrower pulled him out of the car to the rear platform. While Thrower was as sisting a lady off the car, the negro kicked him several times and applied more vile epithets. Turner went back on the trailer, but soon returned with a knife in hand and swore he would cut Thrower's head off. As he stepped on the platform Thrower fired, the bullet striking the negro in the mouth. He died in fifteen minutes. A crowd of negro soldiers and civilians soon gathered and swore vengeance on ThrOwer and all street car conductors. One conductor was chased several blocks by the negroes. Guards have been placed on all the cars on the line leading to the negro camps and tonight the camp is under strong guard to prevent an outbreak on the part of the negro soldiers.
