TRICKED HER HUSBAND
ROSE WALLACE GAGNE, ALLEGED
EVANSVILLE HEIRESS, FOUND.
Dressed Herself in Short Clothes and
Posed as Her Sister in Order to Es-
cape Her wicked Mate.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Rose Wallace
Gagne. the Evansville, Ind, heiress, who
came here and was inveigled into marrying
George Gagne, a levee character after she
had been lured into Wabash-street resort,
was solved this afternoon when the girl
who has been posing as her sister Gertrude
confessed to the police that she was none
other than the missing wife Rose. She said
that she had married Gagne, supposing that
he really cared for her. She had discovered.
however, that his sole object was to get
her money.
Her younger sister Gertrude was to have
comf Chicago, but Rose, discovering the
real acter of the man she had married,
wr 1 sister not to come. She declared
to Inspector of police that Gagne had
trea.ed her brutally, striking her and once
leaving her lying on the floor of their room.
She asserted that Gagne endeavored to have
her associate with various disreputabie
characters, men and women, and that her
refusal was the cause of his brutal treat
ment. She said that last Monday, taking
advantage of the fact that Gagne went out
of their apartments leaving the door un-
locked, she donned short skirts, put on false
hair and left the place in disguise and that
she did not dare reveal her identity till she
knew that her husband had been arrested,
as she 1eared that he would kill her.
Continuing she said: The story of nv
property is absolutely true. My real name
is Rose Wallace L would have inherited the
farm of my grandmother If L had not mar
rled this man. The money in question is
represented by mining stocks deposited at
Chihuahua, Mexico" She said her grand
mothers name was Mllburn and that the
farm she was to inherit was in Mrs. Mil-
burns name, lying eight miles out of Evans
Vile on the Henderson road. This she
thought would account for the denials of its
existence telegraphed from Evansville.
Gagne when confronted with her seemed

VIEWS OF GENERAL WHITTIER.
He Says the Philippine Question Can
BE Settled in Three DAYS.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.-Gen. Charles \.
Whittier who returned recently from Ma
Mia, says: Nothing in the world is easier
of settlement than the situation in the Phil
ippines. 1t could be settled in three days"
General Whittier went to Manila with GEN
eral Merritt and there served as collector
until the end of October. He returned by
way of Paris and on his arrival in this
country recently his first duty was to make
his report to the officials in Washington
This done, he now feels that he Is sufficiently
free from official obligations to speak of
affairs in the Philippines. His position
there gave him ample opportunity for OBJ
serving the conditions in the islands.
I'm the first place, General Whittier con-
tinued, there is a wide ignorance of the
wealth of the Philippines and the character
Of the Filipinos. The natives are not ig-
norant; they are not savages. They are
adept as manufacturers and accountants,
mariners and railroad operatives. They are
quiet, most temperate and have shown great
ability in their military affairs. With firm
ness. accompanied by diplomacy and tact,

loss of blood causes death. Hemorrhages oc-

Warming to Railway Managers.
Louisville Commercial.

The Interstate commerce Commission
should be rehabilitated. 1t should be clothed
with power to enforce intelligent coctyoi OF
railway operation in the United States for
the salvation Of the railroads as well al
for the protection of the people. The rail-
way managers do not see this now, or they
pretend not TO see it, for business is boom
ing and faVoritism in rate making does not
show forth so prominently in the financial
results as when freights fall off and periods
of depression come on. Nevertheless the
railroads are inviting-in due season-an-
other era of bankruptcies and receiverships
which are not only unfortunate for these
great properties but for the whole business
community, by their resolute opposition to
any sort of genuine government control
We hope the Fifty-sixth Congress will have
the sagacty and the courage to legislate for
the permanent prosperity of the railway
business in spite of the railways themselves.
