STABBED IN ABDOMEN.
Drunken Alteration Ends
Fatally, in Norwich,
Conn.

Norwich, Conn.,, Nov. 1S-Blood was
shed in an alteration between Robert
Emerton and S. N. Bugbee here to-
night. Emerton is dead from knife
wounds and Bugbee is in the lookup at
White River Junction, accused of the
murder. The trouble occurred in the
grocery of I. L. Nile, father-in-law of
Emerton, in which Bugbee, fish deal
er at Wilder, VT, was trading. Elmer
ton was an employee at Dartmouth
college at Hanover, NJ H, in the heat
ing plant. Some words passed between
Emerto1 and Bugbee, and the former
was fatally stabbed by Bugbee. The
dispute was resumed when Bugbee
called Emerton back, using, it is said,
vile epithets which the latter resented
vocally, and then knocked Bugbee to
the ground.
On arising, Bugbee drew a knife, and
in the mix up which followed, 1t is said,
Bugbee stabbed Emerton In the abdo-
men, the blade reaching vital part,
as Emerton fell back and died before
aid could be given him. Bugbee left
town at once, but little later at Han
over, Officer McCauley placed him I'M
der arrest and took him to White River
Junction. From appearances, Bugbee
was thought to have been under the
influence Of liquor, and he claims that
the knife was used in self-defense. En-
efton leaves a widow and two children.

VIOLA ALIENS CAREER.

Viola Allen is today one of the most
interesting personalities on the Amer
lean stage. A beautiful woman and
clever actress, with an established rep
utation, based on exceptional talent
and years of faithful devotion to her
art, she has been brought into great
prominence last season and this by her
splendid impersonation of Glory Quayle
In Hall Gaines now famous play, THE
Christian"
Miss Allen is thorough American
girl. She was born in Alabama Her
father, C. Leslie Allen, who plays the
role of Arohdeacon Wealthy, in her
support, taught her her first insight
into the theatrical profession, and
placed her upon the stage in her thir-
teenth year in the role of "Esmeralda."
The pre-eminent features In any of
Miss Aliens performances will be
found in the notes of wholesomeness
and good womanhood. This is due,
unquestionably, to her personality
which all who know her describe as
being charming, modest and untheatri-
cal. The healthy spirit she gives to her
portrayals undoubtedly comes from
her strong appreciation of physical ex-
ercise. She particularly loves saddle
horses, and in New York keeps her
own mount.
She is a close student of everything
pertaining to the drama; she devotes
a certain time each day to study the
miscellaneous literature dealing with
the theater She possesses a fund of
good common sense, as is shown in her
work, which is rational and devoid of
artifice or undue theatrical effect.
In the performance of any role she
is hard and earnest worker. When
she studied the role of Glory Quayle
in 1.-THE Christian" she visited Hall
Game III his home and studied the
Manx people, their daily life and the
authors conception of his creation
She is following out a like method
in the new play that is being written
for her use next season by F. Marion
Crawford This play is a direct CON
trast to the one she is now appear
ing in its scene is laid in Spain, and
it's title is I'm Old Madrid" The char
acter Miss Allen will portray Is of
the purely romantic, and its notes
reach the height Of tragic passion at
certain times.
Miss Allen spent last summer with
Mr. Crawford and his wife in Italy,
studying this role, and Mr.. Crawford
himself is expected over In November
to spend considerable time with Miss
Allen in celebrating the play
1t might be point Of interest to
church people to know that Miss Allen
is of very religious turn of mind, an
Episcopalian of the High church per-
suasion, and is a constant attendant.

Overcame a Run.

A run on him was precipitated by an
article in a daily paper, but he stood
at the helm, firm as rock, and paid
every caller. When they found they
could promptly get their money, the
run stopped. They didn't want it.
Old depositors returned, increased their
accounts, and soon the Franklin Syndi-
cate was doing larger business than
before. The press had investigated
him. Several of his customers had
been visited, and no single one had been
found who did not acknowledge that
he had received every week a 10 per
cent dividend on his investment, either
in cash or by check. Finally the banks
ceased their opposition, and now glad
ly receive his accounts. And, well thew
may, If his claim be true, that he has
accumulated a surplus of over 100000,
which is deposited with various banks
in Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs.
In conversation, Mr.. Miller seemed
perfectly frank and ready to answer
questions. In reply to the query as
to whether he had evoked any partic-
ular system of gauging the market by
which he could make sure calculations
of its course, he replied;

Great Fortunes Made This
Way.

The great fortunes gained in Wall
street by Jay Gould, Roswell P.
Flower, Russell Sage and many other
notable examples Were each made bv
one individual master mind, able to
comprehend and control the intrica-
cies Of the financial problem. They
were successful. They We're. able TO
foresee and take advantage of the
market. The friends of Mr.. MiJ1ar
claim he operates in the same man
ner, the only difference being that thew
did not invite the general public to
share in their profits while he does.
There is an old adage that nothing
succeeds like success. Mr.. Miller has
been successful.
The outsider is apt to shrue his
shoulders and insist that there must
be something wrong somewhere. IF a
man advertised to do anything, no
matter how impracticable it NAV an
pear, and does it, surely no one can
charge him with Misrepresentation
Mr. Miller is frank and plain: he Tells
his patrons what he does with their
money He invests it in Wall street
speculation. His record is evidence Of
what his future should be. If he guar
antees his clients against loss and
has thus far made good that guarantee
presumably he will continue to do SO.
He does not guarantee weekly
dividends, but facts developed by in
vestigation show that he has constant
ly paid them, and facts often disprove
theories.
AS an instance. the case Of William
K. Schafer of No. so Stockholm street,
brooklyn, was cited with permission to
use it.
The family of Mr.. Schaefer made an
investment of $4,000 some time ago.
they have drawn in weekly dividends
$500, and their investment remains
a well known druggist, Mr.. Uiig,
corner Floyd and Tompkns avenue,
said that he had made small invest
ment, and received his 10 per cent
dividends every week as regularly as
Saturday comes.
barber sold out his shop and in
vested in syndicate shares to the
amount of 1910. He says it is much
easier to live on the $2750 which she
now draws weekly than it was. to live
from the profits of his shop. Mr..
Miller, in his circular, gives number
of Brooklyn references, as we'll as
from other cities. They can be seen
and interrogated. He says his Gus
toners are his best references.
Can it still be said that 1t is not
legitimate? Is any speculation more
legitimate?
Can it be argued that he gives no
security? Does any bank or broker
give security?
1t is only one of the many chances
in the game of life, and if you invest
your only security must be confidence
and you take your chance with the
rest.

A Startling Proposition.

So great was his success that he was
soon able to divide handsome profits
with his associates. Gradually others
Joined the pool, and it grew until he
found himself handling large amounts,
and still the same success followed.
Constantly studying the principles of
successful speculation, he finally, two
and half years ago, became con-
WINGED that he could safely enlarge
the operations of the Franklin Syn
dictate, and he boldly entered into the
business of banker and broker in
stocks, bonds, wheat, cotton, etc, and
opened his books to a general line of
investors, issuing $40 shares, accept
ing from no one depositor more than
$1,000, He advertised in the modest
way, so far as space was concerned, but
in the view Of the financial world in
bold and startling manner. He did
what no bank would dare to do, and
what no ordinary broker who had any
regard for his personal security would
have dared to undertake.
One of his advertisements appeared
in last Sundays World, occupying
small space, but telling an immense
story in a few words. In substance it
was
1.-The Franklin Syndicate, IA Floyd
street, Brooklyn, guarantees principal
and has paid 10 per cent weekly to
thousands of it's clients"
What broker would dare to guaran-
tee the principal to his clients in Wall
street speculation, much less to an
nounce that he paid 10 per cent
weekly dividends? No one but Mr..
William F. Miller, the acknowledged
Napoleon of finance" Hence every
body who had not had experience with
him cried fraud. 1.-THE thing is impos-
sib1e," they said. "He may do it for
short time, but it can last only until
he runs his limit, which can at the best
be only a few months" He has had
all sorts of obstacles to contend with,
but he kept serenely on his way. If
any one wished to withdraw, he could
readily do it.

REPTILIAN DUEL.
American Alligator Superior to the Old
World Crocodile.

Worlo Crocodll6s
1t is claimed, and on good authority
that the alligator is a better warrior
than the crocodile, says the Detroit
Journal. A demonstration of the fact
was witnessed about a year ago on
one of the islands of the keys. The
battle was brutal but thrilling and dra-
matte. The "Conchs" had captured a
l3 IL foot crocodile, and issued a chal-
lenge against any gator in the uni
verse" The challenge was accepted by
a hunter who is known to hundreds of
tourists by the sobriquet Of Alligator
joe" The alligator produced for the
fight measured thirteen feet He was
much broader than the crocodile, but
could turn himself much quicker. (The
peculiar stiffness of the crocodile is
caused by small ribs attached to the
vertebrate of the neck) The crocodile
was long and sinuous, and had much
larger tusks. The upper jaw Of the al
ligator was immovabIe, while that of
the crocodile was exactly opposite. This
was the greatest point of difference.
The fight began. Excitement was at
fever heat, the two monster reptiles
roaring. believing, flashing their tails
and swapping their huge Jaws. Like
trained pugilists they maneuvred IN
til they each got a jaw hold; then, like
wrestlers, they clinched, rose upright,
parted and clashed again. During the
rallies their great tails hurled tremen-
dous blows, the crocodile lacking the
force of his antagonist The horrible
spectacle was nearing it's end. Clash
ing together again, they locked, jaw in
jaw, rolling over and over again until
the lower jaw of the crocodile broke
into fragments of ivory and bone. The
ground was covered with gore, but the
battle was ended. The alligator was the
victor. With it's horrors this public ex-
hibition between two natural enemies
was but an instance of many similar
fights unseen and unrecorded in the
great amphitheatre of nature.
