CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER,
DEAD OF HEART DISEASE.
Stricken Suddenly shortly After TAX
ing Luncheon With

HARTFORD Conn, October 20.-Charles
Dudley Warner, of literary fame, one of
the owners of the Hartford Courant, died
suddenly this afternoon. Mr.. Warner had
a very severe attack of pneumonia two
years ago while in New Orleans and had
never fully recovered from it. Last spring
he had pneumonia again while al his home
and this weakened his heart. Of late he
has been much better. At noon to-day he
attended a luncheon to bid farewell to
some friends about to leave for the Medi-
~terranean. Mr.. Warner was cheerful and
gave NO indication of illness. After the
luncheon Mr.. Warner started on a walk.
Among his acquaintance was a colored
man to whom Mr.. Warner gave books to
encourage his desire to read. particularly
books connected with the history of the
colored race, upon which Mr.. Warner was
an authority.
Mr.. Warner probably intended to call
upon this man, as he was in the ~neighbor-
hood of his house when he was stricken.
Probably feeling i'll he asked leave at a
house to sit down. and then to lie down,
requesting to be called in ten minutes.
When the woman of the house went to call
him he was dead. News of his sudden
death spread rapidly and was a great
shock to his many friends.

SBE LIFT HER FURNISHED
ROOM FOR ROOSEVELT.
TENDERLOIN GIRL MARRIED BOY
MILLIONAIRE AND NOW SHE
FLIES HIGH.
WAS A FREQUENTER OF THE HAY
MARKET RESTAURANT AND
OTHER RESORTS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-It has been dis
covered that James R. Roosevelt, Jr.,
IA distant cousin of the Governor, and
q cousin of John Jacob Aston, was mar
ried on June IA last TO Sadie Messenger,
a young woman well known in the
"Haymarket" cafe and other Tenderloin
resorts in this city.
The father Of the youth. James R.
Roosevelt. ex-Jscretary of the Ameri-
can Embassy at London, when he dis
covered the boy on Monday in his lux
urious apartments at One Hundred and
Twenty-four West Eighty-fourth street,
with the hitherto Mrs. Roosevelt" took
his son away, and 1t is said will insti-
tute proceedings to annul the marriage
on the ground OF youth and non-consent
of parents.
Up to the time of her marriage with
young Roosevelt, Miss Messenger lived
in a furnished room. Since her marriage
she has been seen at the places she
used to be known in, in expensive gowns
and imported hats. She has driven to
the Haymarket and other places in a
private brougham, sometimes alone,
sometimes with her husband, but al
ways attended by servants.
In the Bureau of Vital Statistics the
record shows that on june IA last James
r. Roosevelt, Jr, and Sadie Messenger
were married in the city hall by Alder
man George Burrell. This Is important
because Sadie indignantly denied that
she had ever been married to young Mr..
Roosevelt.
James r. Roosevelt, Jr., Is a son Of the
late Helen Aston, a sister of JOHN Jacob
Aston, and at his mothers death a for
tune, said to be almost 100000, was left
to the boy and his sister.
His father applied six years ago for an
allowance out of the estate left for the
Two children to pay the expenses of their
INFRINGING. The matter was turned over
80 a referee and ON the accommodation Of
Mrs. Caroline Astor and John Jacob AS
tor he presented a eport recommending
that 215,00 a year be allowed out of the
estate. Justice Barrett criticised the re-
port sever ely, saying from the bench that
children should be habituated to prudence
and moderation rather than to extrava-
gance and the qualification of every luxur-
ious Gesire. Then he cut the allowance in
half.

10 INDICATE
WHEN STRIKE WILL END.
UNANIMOUS ADHERENCE TO THIS
PHILADELPHIA POWDER
AGREEMENT
WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT
DILCHER SAYS NOTHING But a
FLAT TEN PER CENT ADJ
VANCE WILL DO.

HALZETON, Pa, October 20.-Pres-
ident Mitchell practically admitted TO-
day that if every operator in the re-
gion were to post notice similar to
those that are now being tackled up by
some of the mine this action
in itself would probably not end the
strike. He was asked if all the COM
panies were to post such notices what
his next step would be. At first he
hesitated and then replied:
Under the conditions laid down by
the Scranton miners convention there
could be no partial resumption OF
work"
When it was suggested that his reply
did not answer the question he said:
"Well, all | will say is that if all the
companies post notices it would clear
up matters considerably. 1t would re-
move some of the obstacles that now
present themselves"
This is the first public statement
that Mr.. Mitchell has made bearing on
a settlement Of the contest since the
operators at Scranton took their de-
cided stand that the reduction of pow
der price must be considered in fgur-
ing out the advance in wages.
Mr.. Mitchell is said to be contem-
plating a trip to Scranton next week,
but for what purpose Is not known.
Nothing has been said hera about an
other convention and there is no prob
ability of a conference of strike lead

President Mitchell tonight issued a
signed statement in which he con-
demned reports that strikers had des-
ecrated a cemetery in Hazleton. He
said he had made a careful investiga-
ton and could find no evidence that fas-
tened the offense on any of the strikers
in the slightest.
Continuing, Mr.. Mitchell said:
Il also wish to deny the absurd state
ments that have appeared in the coll
umns of some of the metropolitan pa
pers to the effect that we contemplate
l~naugurating a national strike Of coal
miners on April L. The relations be-
tween the bituminous coal operators
and our organization are entirely har-
monious, and our agreements are made
in Joint conference and last for one e
We fondly hope that the anthracite op-
orators and miners will also adopt the
humane and progressive method of adj
lustlng the scale in the future, thus
making strikes and lock-outs unneces-
sary."
SHAMOkIN, Pa. October a0.-A mass
meeting of the strikers was held here to-
night and was addressed by Messrs. A. d.
Mahon, of Detroit, president of the Anal
samated Association of Street Railway
Men of the United States: George Hart
iein, secretary of District No. 9 of the U.
M. W., and Miles Dougherty, an organizer
of the. U. NJ. w. of A.
The miners were urged to remain firm
until the powder difficulty has been ad-
justed.
~
SCRANTON, Pa, October N.-The coal
companies are to-day posting notices of
the powder reduction. showing how il fig

National Organizer Dilcher says this does
not meet the demands of the miners and
until it does there will be no end of the
strike.

form, Alightfng Upon His Back
Omaha, Neb. October 20.-Senator
Hanna concluded his six days speaking
tour of Minnesota, South Dakota and
Nebraska in Omaha tonight, winding
UP his itinerary by making four speech
es, three in South Omaha. where are
located the big packing interests OF the
city, and where his audiences were for
the most part composed OF laboring
men, and n at Omaha.
Late tonight, the special train left
over the Burlington road for Chicago
and will arrive there tomorrow morn
ing. Senator Hanna will devote but
little time to the business a national
headquarters next week, however, as
he is booked for speeches nearly every
day next week, most Of them in ILL.,
nois towns.
The weeks itinerary has included
over $500 miles of travel in the three
States. Senator Hanna In that time
making nearly a hundred speeches Of
from Two to forty minutes duration
With the exception Of some hoarseness,
however, he has withstood the ardu-
Gus campaigning very well.
Senator Hanna narrowly escaped SER
ious injury at Auburn, where a stand
had been erected on the race track of
the fair grounds. The overcrowding Of
the frail structure and the crush of
people around it caused the stand to
collapse. Although thrown on his back
by the fall of six feet, Senator Hanna
was entirely unhurt. A boy clinging
to the structure, had his leg broken
under the timbers.
Besides the four speeches at Omaha
tonight, Senator Hanna made address
es at nine towns in the territory cover
ed during the day which included the
extreme southeastern portion OF the
State. Several of the stops were rath-
er long and In one or two instances
Senators Hanna and Frye had a taste
of the difficulties occasionally encount-
cred in rural campaigning. The weather
was intensely d~isagreeable, a strong
wind filling the air with blinoing
clouds of dust.

Narrow Escape From a Frightful
Passenger Train Wreck at Pitts
burg.
PITTSBURG, Pa, October 20.-The
Ptttsburg & Lake Erie flyer due in this
city from Chicago at 1920 p. m, was
partially wrecked at Main street, South
Side, just after crossing a bridge, re-
sulting in the instant killing of two
men and badly injuring another. For
~tunately none Of the passengers were
hurt.
The dead are John Shafer and a man
whose name has not yet been learned.
Harry Johnson had his leg broken
and was otherwise badly cut, but will
live.
johnson was driving q heavy two
horse pipe wagon along Steuben street,
Just as a train was crossing the Pan
Handle trestle. The horses became
frightened and ran down Main street to
and along the P. & L. E. tracks. Shafer
and the unknown man ran to assist
Johnson in getting his team off the
track, but were too late to prevent the
rig being struck by the fast train.
When the crash came the three men
were hurled several hundred feet and
when picked up the two men were dead
and johnson unconscious. One of the
horses was literally torn to pieces, and
1t was a large piece Of his flank being
wedged between the track and girder

the cal portion of the train. The en-
CINE and three coaches escaped injury
but the fourth coach filled with passen-
gers, had it's trucks pulled from under
it and badly wrecked just after the
bridge had been crossed, thus averting
a most disastrous accident.
