THEY COR CREDIT.
Missouri Men Charged with Using
Mails TO Defraud Merchants

Springfield, Mo-, Oct s.-Norwood
"crert manufacturers. charged wilh
using the United States mails TO de.
fraud, will be tried ID the federal
court, as indictments against all the
suspected men were returned by ths
Latte grand jury.
The operations of the men were car
ried on ait Norwood, a little village on
the Kansas CITY, Fort Scott & Mem
phis railway, east of Mansfield.
One of the men had farm OF 100
acres with a Little log house on it, all
worth less than $1,000. The credit
seeker estimated his wealth at $1,000
and got silent partners to swear for
him. The goods. would be shipped to
Norwood and soon failure would oc-
cur. Sometimes the goods were dis
posed of in bulk. These operations
went on unbil the vicinity Of Norwood
became notorious ais merchant wreck
er. The merchants whose prosper
dty had been SO assuring on paper,
would be found to be worth nothing
that the Law could seize and a, prose-
cutDon of the bankruPts in the local
courts did not promise any substantial
reward. So the matter was allowed to
rest till the government found that the
action for the misuse of the mails
could be used in prosecuting the men.

TURKISH SITUATION
Government Win Soon Take VERY
Decisive Steps.
POSSIBLE NAVAL DEMONSTRATED
Every Effort BEING Made Diplomatic
ally &" Collsct she American
Indemnify from the
sublime POrie.

Washington, Oct. .s.-This government
is preparing to take very deedsive'steps
1T is learned, with a view to bringing
Turkey TO prompt performance of it's
promisesand Obligations with respect
to the claims of the United States.
The recaHl of Ali Ferrough Bey, the
Turkish minister, has vastly stimulat-
ed interest i'm the somewhat strained
diplomatic relatdons with the sublime
porte and every step in the negotia-
taons is watched with keen interest es-
pecially now that it is possible for the
American feet aofbe withdrawn from
Eastern waters for q possible demon
stration in the Mediterranean.
1t is Learned from high official
scOurce that the odmiiSt ration lis of the
opinion that no extreme measures will
be used in dealing with the sultan, but
that dt is prepared to adopt such meas
ures if the more usual and gentler re-
sources of diplomacy are OF no effect.
Under the instructions of Secretary
HAY, Mr.. Oscar S. Strauss returntd to
this country in February last, in order
to confer with chief, and since then
the Negotiations have been conducted
from this end, with the active assist
ance of Mr.. Strauss.
1t as believed here that but for the
interpos6tiOn of Russia and the de-
mands that were made by Great Brit
DAM italy and France TO have their
claims paid when they learned that
the UNITED States had taken the lead
In these negotiations and succeeded in
having the indemnity claims not only
recognized but had received a prom
ise for payment, the Turkish govern
ment would have promptly carried out
its promises.
The government, however, did not
intend to be sidetracked on this ques-
tion and the result has been that
through direct pressure exerted ait
Washington, the Turkish government
fulfilled its promises for the rebuild
ing of the destroyed school house and
for the additional building, Robert col
bege, so that all the maui ers at issue
have been satisfactorily settled with
the exception of the payment of the
indemnify claims.

Germany Wants TO he Independents
of America
Washington, d. c., Oct. S.-"If, for
some reason, Germany should be cut
of for one year from her cotton sup
ply, there would be "a crisis Of incal-
culable consequences" says United
States Consul Winter at Annaberg, in
a report to the state department upon
the cotton consumption in that coun-
try. In order to guard against any
possible exigency, the colonial associa-
ton, says Consul Winter. recently sent
q petition to the imperial chancellor
requesting thai every means be used
to induce cotton growing into the dif-
ferent German colonies where climate
and soil favor. With the exception Of
about ST., 900 worth of cotton grown IN
one little colony. Germany is entirely
dependent upon the United States and
England for this commodity, and she
consumes more of it than any nation
on the continent.

OPERATOR SIDE
Henry Loomis Nelson on the An
thracite Coal Strike.
PLACES TIE BLAME ON MITCHELL
Has Brought BitumInous Mines Under
Hts Control. and In now Amhi.
siOus To- Rule the Anthra.
cite feld.

TIaZelton, Pa, Oct S.-The strike
situation remains practically un-
changed, although clash may occur
ait any time between the deputies and
the strikers. "A new phase of the sit
ualtion is set forth by an article just
published by Henry Doomis Nelson,
late editor OF Harper's Weekly:
The labor contest which has been
carried on in this valley has been be-
tween operators and the organization
known as the Undted Mine Workes. So
far the operators have not said they
would not treat with organized labor.
They hold that this issue was not fair
ay presented by the mine workers
This is not an organization of anthra-
cite employees. 1t originated in the BIZ
luminous mines Mitchell himself be-
ing worker in the soft coal mines
The complaints or grievances also have
not been presented in the MANNER us
ual with labor organizations. They
have been brought in from without,
and have not proce" he'd directly from
the miners Immediately concerned.
Not colliery had heard a word of
complaint from its own men directly,
nor Indirectly, for that matter, when
the strike was ordered. 1t is clear
from adj that has happened during the
past year that the strike sprang from
Mbtcheld's s ambition to obtain full con-
trol of the COAL BUSINESS of America.
To this end he has been working for
a, long time. He succeeded last year
ranged from $3.50 to III
hanna COmpany's mines ait Nanticoke.
The initention was that the strlHe-
shouldbe general The effort partially
failed, none but the Nanticoke miners
going out, and the organization was
not recognized in the agreement OF
settlement. Other efforts have been
made during the year, but it was NOT
until last month that Mitchell secured
a sufficient number of members for
Hhe United Mime Workers inthe an
thracite region to make a general
strike possible
One reason for the success for the
strike was the general prosperity Of
the men. For the last two or three
months their daily EARNINGS have
ranged from $3.50 ito 81, and, in some
instances, they were SIS. In most OF the
collderies the miners have evidently
been making over 81 day for every
week day of the month over and above
their house rent and coal. They were
feeling prosperous when the tempher
came to them with the promise OF
double pay for that is about what
Mtuchell's proposition really amounts
no-and some of the men were i'm
duced to take the chances of gaining
Ut at the cost of "a strike But the
main reason for the general tie-up il
Intimidation The organized and rad
deal minority have driven the unor-
ganhzed and conservative majority
away from the mines. There has been
peace i'm most of the anthracite region,
but, ntvertheless, there has been Q
reign OF terror, completely effective,
notwithstanding the absence of out
ward signs. The men who were will
ing and anxious to work have yielded
without struggle.

MYSTERY ABOUT HER DEATH.
Woman Suspected of Being In Plot {
DeGrAud lnsurance Companies.

Woman Suspected of Being In Plot to
DeGraud Insurance Companies.
Chicago, H., Oct 8.-With insurance
upon her life amounting to $4,000,
Marie Defenbach, aged %, died August
25 in boarding house on La Sale
avenue, under conditions which the
police believe indicate "a plot to swim
die an insurance company and two in
sunance societies, ID. they do not point
70 murder. Upon bench warrants is
sued by Judge Gibbons, two persons
said to be implicated in the case-Dr.
August M. Unger and Frank II. Smi-
ley detective, have been arrested.
A third person who is alleged to be
connected with the fraud and for
whom a warrant has been issued, IL
not yet under arrest. 1t is said he is
out of the city. When Miss Defenbach
died there were three policies ON her
life aggregabing $4,000, All of recent
date, as follows: New York Life .In-
surance Company, $4,000; Canadian
Order of Foresters, $4,000; Knights
and Ladies of Honor, $4,000.
Last April Miss Defenbach applied
to the New York Life Insurance Com
pany for $4,000 policy. This was
refused by the company az was also an
application for an $4,000 policy, on the
ground that she was not the possessor
of sufficient property interests to war
rant % large a risk, although she was
examined and declared to be in per-
feet health. In July MisssDefenbach
succeeded in obtaining from the New
York company a policy for $4,000, and
this formed part OF the estate she left
: About the middle Of August Miss
Defenbach also secured insurance in
the Canadian Order of Foresters TO the
amount of $4,000. About the same
time she took out a policy in the
Knights and Ladies of Honor for $2,-
600. Two weeks latter she was dead,
leaving a win which directed that
pant of the policies should be paid TO
Frank H. Smiley, her "affianced hus-
band" and that her Sody be crema,ted.
Her death, at the boarding house on
La Sale avenue, was attended by the
most horrible agony. Doctors Leonard
and Schroeder, the latter representing
the knights and Ladies of Honor, were
called. They refused to issue a Ger.
tificate of death, but the coroner's
jury, later. and after the body had
been embadmed, found a verdict from
dysentery. The next day the body
was cremated and the ashes were scat
tered to the winds.

YOUTSEY'S ON TRIAL
Second Famous Goebel Assassina-
ton Trial Begun.
THE JURYMEN ARE ALL DEMOCRATS
All Efforts Of the Attorneys for the De-
fence to Discharge Jury and DE.
lay Trial were Promptly
Overruled by Judge.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. S.-A jury
was secured in the Youtsey case today
and another Goebel assassination trial
was put i'm motion. Before the trial
began, Colonel Crawford, for the de-
fense, moved to discharge the jury on
the ground, first, that the jury is not
composed of bystanders, but sum-
moned from remote parts of the
country; second, that the jurymen are
ain democrats, and. as the crime
chraged involves politics to "a large ex-
tent, the defendant cannot expect a
fair and impartial trial from such
jury Youtsey filed two affidavits in
support of the motion.
Judge Oantrill said: "The main
Question is whether the venire sum-
moned was from the main body of
the county There were forty-six
jurors drawn from the wheel, who
kved in, or near, Georgetown, and
from only two precinc, S we're there no
jurors summoned.
The compleXiUn of the jury pollt-
1cally has nothing % do with this de-
fendant, as he is indeed for murder
and not for any poIi,caI offense. I
must overrule the motion"
Crawford fled anoi her m0tion to re-
quire the commonwealth to elect
whether ft would try loltsey for ac-
eually firing the shot or FOR aiding
and abetting the man who fired the
shot. The court replied that was
matter over which he had no control
and the attorneys conl6 confer con.
cerning lit. Mr.. Franklin said the com,
monweaith simply wished to try
Youtsey under the Indictment and let
the jury say whether he fired the shot.
The jury was brought in and Craw-
ford filed "a demurrer to the indict-
ment on the ground that it named no
one as firing the shot and that 1T did
not sufficiently describe the offense
charged against Youtsey.
Judge Cantrill overruled the demur-
rer. The commonwealth attorney
said he preferred the defense would
not make its statement till after the
prosecution concluded it's direct testi-
mony, and it was so ordered.
