A fORiUNc AT STAKE n
IN the Alleged Abduction Of a Yonn9
Man by His Aunt. I

IN the ALLEGED Abduction Of YcunR
Man by His Aunt.
Detroit, June 21.--Moses Fowler
Chase, aged 81, alleged to be mentally
incompetent and reputsd to be worth
$500, 900, was abducted from the Hotel
Cadillac last Monday night. He had
been patient at sanikariuM In Flint
and was en- route to his home in La
fayette, Ind, accompanied by his
father, Frederick Chase, q lawyer.
When the father and son arrived here
the young mans aunt met them at the
depot and hurried the youth to the
Cadillac. The father was unsuspici0us
Of any unlawful intent. Sunday night
carriage drove up to the hotel and
young Chase was taken to the Cleve-
land boat, which, in the company VI
his aunt and two unknown men, he
boarded. On reaching Cleveland the
party took train for Cincinnati. FROM
there they went east to Albany, N. Y,
where the private detective that the
father had employed to watch them
lost sight of the party. Extradition
papers were yesterday made out In ar
ticipation of the party's arrest by the
New York authorities.
The fortune that young Chase pos
sesses is revertible to the aunt up N
his death, which, it is alleged, fur
nishes the motive for the supposed
abduction. The father and young
Chase's attorney believe that the OBJ
ject of the alleged abductors is to take
the young man out of the country. 1t
is stated that upon young Chase at
tanning his majority the fathers
guardianship ceased, and that the
father was taking him to Lafayette for
the purpose of himself being continued
as his guardian by order of the pro-
bate court.

NJ BOURGEOIS NEXT.
iummoned From the Peace Confer
enoe by President Loubet
TO FORM A FRENCH CABINET.

Latest Gossip Favors . Combinations
Ministry, Including Bourgeois, Bris-,
son, Polncare and Rousseau.
The Latter's Charges.
Paris, June 21.-The prolongation Of
the cabinet crisis is becoming most
serious. MN. Dupuy and Lockroy both
called up President Loubet yesterday
and expressed their anxiety to be re-,
lieved of the responsibilities of Office
as soon as possible.
Yesterday President Loubet invited
M. Bourgeois to form cabinet. M.
Bourgeois, who is head of the French
delegation at The Hague peace con-,
ference, telegraphed that he would ar :,
rive here today.
Should M. Bourgeois accept the task
of forming ministry it is thought his
chances OF success would be fairly
good. His prestige has been much in
creased by the part he has played in
the deliberations of the peace con-.
ference, where he is believed to have
won the gratitude Of Emperor Nicholas
by his tact and zeal on behalf of ar
bitration.
The latest gossip favors combina-,,
ton cabinet, including NM. Bourgeois
Brisson. Poincare and Waldeck-Rou
seau, but nothing will be known till
NJ Bourgeois makes his decision.
M. Waldeck- Rousseau, discussing his
failure, is reported to have said: IL
met with the utmost friendliness and
aightforwardnes from my former
adversaries, but found only treason
and cowardice among my old allies"
1t is reported that orders have been
sent to st. Michael's, Azore islands.
directing the commander of the
French cruiser Sfax, which is bringing
Captain Dreyfus to France, to remain
there short time, SO as not to arrive
In home waters until the new ministry
IL installed.
The court house at Rennes adjoins
the prison. Captain Dreyfus will be
brought into court through specially
constructed floor. 1t is proposed to fix
screen In front of the window Of his
cell so as to prevent him from COM
municating with the houses opposite.
The dossier of the case has already ar.
rived at Rennes and been deposited in
the safe Of the Credit Lyonnaise under
sentry guard.

The Prevalence of Appendicitis.


Surgeons admit that rs per cent Of all
cases Of appendicitis will recover without
operation, but claim that 9S per cent could
be saved by operating promptly on every
case as soon as discovered This discloses
debate of great significance, for physi-
clans are disinclined to turn all cases to
the surgeon. Morris has estimated that
there are 200, 900 new cases of appendicitis
discovered each year in the United States.
II this is true and the surgeons are right,
10000 of them would be ruthlessly sacri-
feed under medical treatment. Butphysi.
clans assert land wish knew whether
truly or mott that autopsies upon subjects

CHICAGO POSTAL THIEVES,

Had Been Robblng the Mails Re9u.
larly since June 1.
Chicago, June 21.-What is regarded
by Post0Aice Inspector James Stuart
as one of the largest and boldest mail
robberies In the history of the Chicago
postoflce was detected yesterday, and
the arrests Of Walter Porter and John
Newman, drivers Of mail wagons, fol-
lowed. Porter made a full confession
duplicating Newman. A large amount
Of letters, money orders and packages
taken by the men was found In their
lodging house on South Halsted street.
In the pile were letters, money orders
and checks directed to all parts Of the
country and Europe. One check found
in the pile was for $4,000. The fact
that the robbers had been In the en-
ploy of the Chicago postoffice since
June /, and that all the thefts vera
committed since that time, while the
prisoners we're driving their wagons.
makes the scheme one of the boldest
in the recollection Of the police in
spectors. The mail was all taken from
pouches while being carried in the
wagons and from railroad stations, and
1t has been admitted that three sacks
were taken In one day. The pris-
oners will not admit that they secured
much of value from their depreda-
tons, but declare that they would have
been considerably richer had their
scheme not been discovered 30 soon.

Savage Rioters In India

Bombay, June 21.-The riots in
Southern India have spread to Travan-
core, where the police have been Sc
verely beaten and forced to retire. The
rioters have seized number Of guns
and quantity Of ammunition. They
are cutting off the ears Of their OPP
ponents in order to obtain their ear
rings more expeditiously. About $50
houses have been burned at Sam
boovadagarai. Troops are now pa
trolling the disturbed district. Over
fifty small villages have been looted
and burned in the Tinnevelly district.
At one town more than hundred
murders were committed. The VIC
tins in many cases were literally
hacked to pieces and then thrown into
the flames of their burning houses.

MAGISTRATE Crane in the Tombs
police Court yesterday gave a wo-
man who had her husband brought
before him for non-support some
plain talk. He SAID; n believe your
husbands statement, as he brings
a reputable physicians certificate
that be Is in the last stages Of tuber-
culosis and very sick man. Your
husband is dying and you hound
him to death. That's the way with
you women. Nine-tenths Of the men
who come before me tell the truth
and nine-tenths of the women are
liars. They can't tell the truth if
they try. If man stays away
over night to get a little rest from
their nagging, they come to Court
and say that he is living with au-
other woman"

Successful Yellow Fever Preventive

Successful Yellow Fever Preventive.
New York, June 2.-Dr. Alvah ?.
Doty, the health officer of this port,
is much elated over the successful re-
suits of the experiments with serum
produced at his laboratory for the pre-
vention of yellow fever. For some
time the experiments have been doubt
full in their results, but for the past
month or six weeks they have sue
ceeded in preserving the lives of guinea
pigs previously fed with yellow fever
germs, thus affording sure evidence of
the value of the serum in the pre-
vention OF yellow fever. DR.. Doty says
he will send samples of the serum to
his agent at Havana, where it is ex.
pected that 1t will be used with sue
cess in the preservation of the lives
of yellow fever patients.
