tion of affairs which is regretted as
much by the men who remain as by
the officers.
As a result Of the conduct of some
of the men the soldiers have lost many
privileges, not only on account of the
bad example which might be initiated
by others, but because, on account of
the large details for guards and the
general routine Of camp work, all who
are now here are needed. This unfor-
tunate condition is regretted by the
boys OF the regiment who refuse TO SO
far forget themselves as to leave camp
under such circumstances.
Chaplain Stahl, who is so deserved
ly popular with the boys, has recently
been trying to get them to attend div
ire services in the Young Mems Chris
tiah association tent on Sunday morn
ings. Saturday night he issued a short
note, In his own handwriting, to the
members of each company. II was
read at roll call and was as follows:
My Dear Bows: "I desire TO make a
personal appeal to every member of your
company to help me in my work among
you by promptly falling into line on Sun
day mornings upon the sounding CT
church call" and going to the Young
Mems Christian association tent near by
for our short weekly services.

SALARY 100000 YEARLY.
President of New York Insuran ce
Company's Large Wages

New York, Nov. 9-Henry B. Hyde,
president of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society, and the most widely known
man in the life insurance business in the
world, is dying at his home, 8 East For
tieth street. No information concern
ing his condition can be gained from
his family.
His death has been expected for a.
week or ten days. He is said to be sur
fering from heart trouble in an aggra-
waited form, and little hope is held out
for his recovery.
Mr.. Hyde was born about siXty-fve
years ago in the Catskills and in his
early youth he manifested the traits
of leadership that have distinguished
his conduct of the Equitable Life, which
is the child of his brain. He draws
salary of $780, 900 a, year; probably the
largest paid business man in the United
States, if not in the world.
The connection of Mr.. Hyde with the
insurance business in this city was in
augurated when, many years ago, he
was installed as cashier of the Mutual
Life Insurance company. He was am
bilious and formed the plan Of a life
insurance company of his own. He
asked President Winston of the Mutual
Life for assistance, was refused, and
went about laying the foundation Of the
Equitable Life Assurance society him
self.

WANTED A COMPANION. -
An Alleged Gay Lothario Exposed by
One of His Dupes.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-The building 1876
Washington street was stormed by 200
women this morning, all anxious to go
to London as Companion to the fam
lily of F. H. Humphrey, who advertised
in recent paper. Mr.. Humphrey prov
ed to be 80 years old and baIdheaded.
His family was not in evidence. He had
his pick of the flock and selected Mrs.
F. H. Handley, charming widow.
Just about the time he was getting into
the good graces of Mrs. HandIey, a tall
dressy woman burst on the scene, and
in dramatic fashion shouted, You vii
lain" You scOundrel, I will not let
you dupe this woman
Then she turned around and faced
some 200 women and told this story:
This man is q. scOundrel. answer
ed this kind Of an adj two weeks ago.
He said he would marry me. We went
to the Clifton House and there register
ed as man and wife. The wedding was
set for this morning. He obtained my
jewelry and 1925, all I had. I waited
until the hour of the ceremony and then
a friend told me Of this"
Humphrey waited no longer. Through
back doors, side entrances and base
ment exits he decamped. It was a
dreadful finale. Many women of good
social standing were on the scene to get
positions for female friends. They
pulled down their wells and hurriedIy
made their exit. Twenty of the women
were from the country. The police are
looking for Humphrey, whose other
alias is Hope.

BURGLARS ATS S. OTIS
Take $500 Worth of Property
But Are Caught and Jailed.

The home of Mr.. s. s. OFT at $50 Polk
was burglarized last night of 5000 worth
of property and jewelry and c. Mccoy
and F. Filings are in the city Jail
charged with the crime.
Mr.. OFT and family left the house last
night at about o'clock and returned at
a little after when the discovery of
the burglary was made and at IL o'clock
the two burglars were behind the bars
at the city prison.
When Mr.. and Mrs. OFT left the house
to go to church they noticed two young
men on the sidewalk in front of the
house but thought nothing of it at the
time. The burglars entered the house
by climbing the front porch and cut
ting hole in the window and unfasten-
kng the window catch. The servant girl
was in the rear room of the second floor
and the hired man was in the basement
but neither heard the burglars. The
burglars turned on TWO of the lights in
the front room occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. OFT and ransacked the bureau
drawers.
The one room was the only one that
was ransacked by the burglars and
they were probably frightened away by
the servant girl who went down stairs.
As soon as Mr.. OFT discovered the
burglary he telephoned to the
police station and gave a de-
scription of the articles that were miss
Ing. Before the patrOlmen had all been
notified of the burglary PatrOlman
looking men near the Union Pacific de-
pot in North Topeka and arrested them.
The patrol wagon was called and the
two men were taken to the station.
When they were searched a knife was
found on Mccoy and a razor on Filings
that answered the description of ones
stolen. This morning Mr.. OFT identified
the knife and razor as his property and
the prisoners were turned over to the
state.
A search for the stolen property was
made and in the fork Of a tree near the
Union Pacific junction a valise contain
ing the following articles was found:
One coat, four razors, two opal stick
pins, gold watch, silver watch, two silk
waists, six handkerchief, eight finger
rings, six breast pins and a gold pen, all
valued at 5000.
Filings and Mccoy have the appear
ance of professional crooks. Mccoy is
well dressed, and has the appear
ance of a college student. Filings wears
a neat fitting black suit and looks more
like crook than Mccoy.
This is case where the suspicious
of a patrolman were aroused and ended
an landing two burglars in the city
JAIL" said Chief Strauss, when Hen
bricks arrested these two men on sus-
picion he did not even know that a
burglary had taken place. If he had not
arrested them on suspicion as be did
they might have given US a merry
chase"
These two arrests make So cases that
the police have turned over to the state
since June LIST.

INNOCENT MAN HANGED.
Fact Disclosed by a Memorandum
Left by a Mob's Victim.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 9.-H. S. Young, a
railroad man here, has found among
some plumber bequeathed to him by the
negro Simon Cooper, who was lynched
at Marysville, s. c., two years ago, a
memorandum book containing a detail
ed account of several mysterious muir
ders in Georgia and South Carolina, one
of them being the famous voolfolk
tragedy, near Macon, when nine mem
berS were slain, only one, Tom Wool
folk, escaping. He was the eldest son,
and after two court trials was hanged
for murder, because of circumstantial
evidence against him. The South Caro-
linian, in the memorandum, says he
killed the voolfolk family, and was
especially anxious to kill Tom. In the
last line of the memorandum is the SEN
tence: tom was sly for me that night,
but I'm even with him at last" This
is supposed to refer to Toms execution.
A great many people have always be-
Rutherford, during a ten-hour speech in
the court house, exclaimed: L swear
before Almighty God believe Tom
voolfolk did not kill those people,
In view of these facts, and also the
circumstance that Mr.. Young knows
the negro was about here during the
year in which the murder was commit
ted, the memorandum book will cause
big sensation. The negro was one of
the most notorious criminals ever run
to cover in the south. He is known to
have killed no less than ten people be-
sides the voolfolk family. His diary
tallies almost perfectly with Tom Wool
folks account of the murder of that
family. He made his will before he
killed the South Carolina family, for
which he was lynched, and in it says
he knew he was going to sooner or
later be killed for his crimes, and he
wanted Mr.. Young, by whose family
he had been reared, to have all his pos
sessions

Seven of the Cuban Prisoners Brought
From Ceuta Become Public
Charges.

New York, Nov. 9.-The seventeen
Cuban political prisoners who arrived
here on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. from
Ceuta last Thursday were released from
the barge office today, with permission
to go where they pleased. In one hour
seven of them came back as police
charges, for they could find no one to
help them in their restitution.
Ten of them went to Newark. The
others were homeless. The junta had
no funds for the unfortunates, and so
the seven could do nothing but return
to the immigrant clearing house. It
is expected that they will be sent to
Cuba on a government transport on the
order of the state department.
