Mrs. Mary Harrington Hanna
Gives Dan r. the Slip.

New York, July 13.-Attorneys for
Dan r. Hanna, of Cleveland, obtained
from Justice McAdam in the supreme
court today a writ of habeas corpus.
returnable Monday, commanding Mary
Harrington Hanna to produce in court
her three children. Mr.. Hanna, in his
petition, says that the children were
restrained of their liberty by their
mother on the pretense that she has a
right to their custody. and that he, the
father, has been illegally deprived of
their charge. A detective was sent to
the Hotel Savoy to serve the writ.
Mr.. Hanna accompanied the detect
ives to the Hotel Savoy. When he ar
rived there he was told that Mrs.
Hanna had sailed with her children on
the steamer Menominee, which cleas ed
the bar, bound for London, at 10 so this
morning. The mana ger of the Hotel
Savoy said Mrs. Hanna left the hotel
between z and O'Clock this morn0sg-
Later it was learned that state rooms
on the Campania had been engaged for
Mrs. Hanna. A reporter who went to
the steamer found that the Baroness de
Poland, friend of Mrs. Hanna, was
on board, but no information could be
obtained as to Mrs. Hanna. Mr.. Hanna
went to the Campania and entered into
a consultation with the baroness At
this time, a state room engaged by Mrs
Hanna was locked and it was thought
that Mrs. Hanna was inside. The door
to the state room was guarded by one
of the ships crew who would not per-
nit any one to approach it.
BEGAN AT CLEVELAND
Cleveland, O., July 1S.-Dan R.Hanna,
son of Senator Hanna, was granted a
temporary injunction by Judge Dis
sette against his divorced wife, MAJ
Harrington Hanna, Thursday, to pre-
vent her taking his three sons from the
Jurisdiction of the court of this county
The action was based on the an
nouncement Of Mrs. Hanna that she
was goingsto New York to live with her
sons, Mark sA..Carl H. and Dan R-Han-
ma, Jr. Mrs. Hanna secured a. divorce
in 1898 on the grounds Of gross neglect
of duty and extreme cruelty and the
court then decreed that the three child
rem should divide their time between
their father and mother.
Hanna married again, but there are
no children by the second wife. A year
ago Mrs. Hanna took the children to
Europe and upon her return she sued
her former husband for 10000 which
she claimed she had paid for travelling
expenses of the party. That suit is still
pending. Deputy shersffs tried in vain
today to serve the injunction on Mrs.
Hanna 1t was said at her home that
she was i'll and could not be seen. For
that reason nobody was admitted to
the house.
Mrs Hanna, eluded the officers and
went to New York.

CORN SLUMPS.
Influenced by Predictions of
Cooler Weather in Southwest.

Chicago. July 13.-Rain, or predictions

west, caused heavy selling Of corn on the

EXCITED IN NEW YORK
New York, July 13.-Great excitement
prevailed at the New York produce ex-
change today. The weather map early
in the day showed no signs of let up
of the hot spell in the corn belt Inc
market, however, was top heavy from
protracted bull speculattons and it only
required rumOrS of rain in Kansas and
Nebraska to break the corn market
21sc IN less than ten minutes at New
York while the Chicago market broke
41kc. Great blocks of long stun came
out in steady stream which broke
from 563sc to 53szc, with the rest of the
list off in proportion
Selling was largely by eleventh hour
bulls who had but slender margins
against their deals while some Of the
original longs with a good showing or
velvet took advantage of the break
to increase their lines of September on
the reactionary theory. 1t was largely
this class of buying that arrested the
decline at $3.50 for September which
position soon recovered to 541zc in the
at Chicago. But the undertone of the
market remained very feVerish- A dis
patch from Washington received before
noon stated that no rains had occurred
in Ohio or Kansas This report caused
active buying
September oats broke during the ex-
citement from S27sc to 20 3sc at Chi
cago and only partially recovered when
corn showed reactionary tendencies.
Wheat was neglected. In the last
half hour there was some reaction in
both corn and wheat on denials from
western points that rain had fallen in
the corn belt and on reports from the
Iowa weather bureau that tempera-
lures in that state were higher than
ever. Considerable covering of short
corn took place on this report but near
the close many traders sold out their
holdings on account of the uncertain
weather conditions and fears of hold
ing the grain over until the new week
The close was very unsettled here at
AQ1c on wheat and 27sc loss on corn.

the Nebraska National bank in this city
for ten years prior to August, 1899. He
a summer vacation and visit to the
eastern states and has not since been
heard from.
At the bank Copeland was designated
as the "B. & M" teller. he having
charge of the deposits of the Burlington
& Missouri railroad. A month after
his departure the Burlington account
at the bank showed a shortage of $10-
900. Half of this amount was made
good by Copeland's brother-in-laW and
the remainder by his bondsmen. The
bond company that acted as his surety
has been looking for Copeland ever
since the shortage was discovered, but
had been unable to locate him.
Copeland was recently heard from on
the Pacific coast through a fraterna1
and was being traced by a detective
agency. It is suspected that Rogers
recognized him and that this may have
led to the shooting.

for the meeting to organize. It includes
the coal dealers of Kansas, Nebraska,
Missouri, Iowa and Arkansas. It's MEM

HUGHES TALKS GAS.
Says Topeka Should Pay No More
Than $LOO.

Late this afternoon Mayor Hughes an
nounced his position on the dollar gas or
dinance. He said
while I do not feel like taking the re-
sponsibility Of advising the people of this
city what to do about gas rates, / think
now squarely and unmistalxably says that
the gas company shall charge no more
than one dollar thousand for gas. No
one can be blamed for refusing to pay
more than that sum. I want the people
of this city to distinctly understand that
the dollar gas ordinance is law; that the
gas company is liable for q heavy fine in
police court for every time that it coll
1ects more than one dollar thousand.
When people understand this think they
will not have much question as to what
they ouEht to do in the matter"

The recent discovery OF a gas pipe
stopped up with a cob in this city
seems to indicate that some people are
not aware that there is stringent
State law on that subject. This law
was passed to protect the public, not
to protect gas companies. Sections 5
and 6 OF Chapter 224 OF the State laws
of 1901 read:
Section 5: "It shall beunlawful for
any person, in any manner whatso-
ever, TO change, injure, extend, or
alter, or cause to be changed, injured,
extended or altered, any surface or
other pipe or attachment of any kind
connecting or through which natural
or artificial gas is furnished from the
gas mains or pipes of any person,
company or corporation without first
securing from such person, company
or corporation written permission to
make such change, extension or alter
alton"
Section 6: "It shall be unlawful for
any person to make or cause to be
made and connected or reconnected
with the gas mains or surface pipes o.
any person, company or corporation
furnishing natural gas, or to turn of
or on or in any manner interfere will
