BOTH FOUND GUILTY
UNGER AND BROWN CONVICTED OF
CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD.
Were Charged with Attempting to Get
Insurance Money Through the
Death of Marie Defenbach.

CHICAGO. June 1O.-Dr. August Unger
and F. Wayland Brown on trial for con-
spiracy to defraud insurance companies
through the death of Miss Marie Defen-
bach. were this evening found guilty and
sentenced to the penitentiary under the in
determinate act. Frank II. Smiley, in
dicted with Unger and Brown. pleaded
guilty and turned states evidence. 1t is
probable he will escape with a light SEN
tence.
The evidence in the case showed that
Unger. Brown, Smiley and Miss Defenbach
entered into conspiracy by which Smiley
was TO appear as the affianced husband of
the woman. She was then to be i'll and ap-
parently die, leaving the insurance, which
included one policy in a stock company
and two in fraternal organizations, the to-
tai aggregating $4,000. The woman in her
will said she desired her remains to be
cremated. and it is supposed that it was the
intention to hurry her away after her sup
posed death and cTemate another body
procured from a hospital. The woman be-
came i'll according 10 programme, but did
not rally, and died Her body was at once
cremated. An inquest was held by Assist
ant Coroner John b. Weckler without
jury. and Weckler returned To the coroner s
office a verdict that the woman had died
of natural causes. The death of the wom-
an is shrouded in mystery and physicians
on the stand differed widely as to the cause
of death. The State, however, declared that
the woman was murdered, although II
could not be positively proven. 1t was
shown that all the insurance carried by the
woman was assigned before her death and
that her will was drawn up after these as
signments had been made. The will had no
effect save i'm the clause touching crema-
ton, and it is believed by the State that the
will was prepared only 10 facilitate the dis
position of the body after death.

BRECKENRIDGE HAS VIEWS.
Col. w. c. r. Discusses Democratic
Party Reorganization.

LEXINGTON, Ky. June 1o.-In letter
In answer TO one asking for his views on
the reorganiza ton OF the Democratic party
and future issues, Col. w. c. p. Breckin-
ridge. ex-Democratic congressman. says:
The American people will never consent
TO such Legislation concerning the currency
as will put into a statute the views or Mr..
Bryan. Ii is equally true that the Ameri-
can people Will not approve Of the terri
tcrial policy advocated by Mr.. Bryan. For
the next few years the currency issue and
the expansion issue rendered by the Demo-
cratic party and accepted by the Repub-
lican party, have been settled
Further along In the letter he says; we
are, therefore confronted with this actual
state of facts: IT is impossible to VIII, with
out such a nominee and platform as Will
secure the suppoN of those Democrats who
refused to vote for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and
1900, and IL is also impossible to win with
out the cordial support of the regular
Democratic party. 1t has occurred to me
that the issue OF 1904 might be our rela-
tions with our new possessions. That these
will be retained is now certain. That the
principles promulgated by the Supreme
Court in the late opinions will be accepted
by the people is certain
After outlining the questions involved
Colonel Breckenridge says: ITO adopt this
policy does pot require that any Democrat
should retract any utterance heretofore
made or apologize for any course hereto
fore pursued"

IDENTITY OF THE WOMAN.
"Rose ViOIette" Played in '.The Man

NEW YORK, June 10.-It was learned
from Stage Manager Lawrence, of the New
York Theater, that young woman who
was billed as Rose Violette had been ap-
pearing in different productions at that
theater all last winter. She is described rs
being about twenty-five years old, very
handsome, with wavy brown hair and
beautiful complexion. The young woman
was originally engaged by George w. Le-
derer to appear in 1.-The Man in the Moon"
She was with that production all during
its run at the New York Theater, and w1s
I'm that part of the chorus known as "Red

After this company completed its run on
the road. Rose Violette returned to this
city with the intention of rehearsing for
another play. That company did not open
here. however, and the girl is said to have
gone West. Rose Vioette's friends say that
she left for Chicago a week ago in COM
pany with Louis Hartman. They also say
she met Hartman three weeks ago.
Hartman was the son OF Max Hartman,

graduate of Columbia Law School, and in

Kruger, Leyds and others I'm Confer
ence and Mrs. BOtha En- Route
to the Dutch Capital.
NO ACTION TAKEN BY GERMANY
STATEMENT AUTHORIZED BY CHAN
CELLOR Won BUELOW.
Intervention or Mediation Out of the
Question Owing to the Atti-
tude of Great Britain.

LONDON, June 10.-The Sun hears that
Mrs. Botha will start from here on Wednes-
day for The Hague, where Mr.. Kruger has
been summoned TO attend a conference of
Boer agents in Europe and the United
States to consider the report Mrs. Botha
has brought from her husband, in which he
advises Mr.. Kruger, as the constitutional
head of the Transvaal, TO sue for peace and
the best terms obtainable.
THE HAGUE, June 10.-Mr. Kruger and
DR.. Leyds arrived here to-day. They drove
from the railroad station at HiIversum
junction in a closed carriage and are stay
ing at the residence of Mr.. Wolmarans,
/ one of the Boer peace ENJOYS.
BERLIN, June 10.-The Kleines Journal
to-day prints a dispatch from The Hague
saying that Queen Wilhelmina's recent vis-
il here was meant to obtain Emperor Will
liams consent TO end the South African
war, both the Zweibund and the Dreibund
being willing to do so, through The Hague
arbitration court and that the Emperor
consented and the court began work there
on. The dispatch created a sensation here.
The Associated Press has just obtained
the following Foreign Office statement
which is authorized by Count Won Buelow
Britain, France nor Russia ever approached
Germany TO participate in any action aim
ing at ending the South African war. Ger
many has all along distinguished between
offering her good offices and Intervention.
To rende' her good offices would be possible
if both parties TO the war requested it; but,
it will be remembered that Great Britain
only joined The Hague conference on condi-
tion that the Boer States were excluded.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Kruger, who is
a serious statesman, came TO Europe to OBJ
tain the good offices of several of the pow
ers 10 end the war but there is also no
doubt that Great Britain does not want
their good offices. At least. IL is true that
since the South African war Great Britain
has never, either verbally or in writing,
confdentially or officially, broached such an
idea. 1t is quite possible that the Boer side
has now formally asked The Hague arbitra-
tion court to lend its aid to end the war
somehow, and that the court has held a
session regarding the matter; but that, of
course, is entirely different from any seri-
Gus steps to end the war"

CHICAGO. June 1O.-CentraI Union Tele
phone stockholders received a shock to-day
in the form of a special circular from John
i. Sabin. the new president of the company.
requesting them TO consider the best way of
securing $3.0OO.OO0 during the coming year TO
finance the company. The circular had
deadening effect the stocks of the COM
pany, and at the close of the Chicago ex-
change it had dropped nine points share.
Mr.. Sabin was placed in charge of the
Central Union Telephone Company by the
American Telephone Company, owner of
the Bell patents, in order TO put it on a
paying basis. For three weeks Mr.. Sabin
has been devoting most of his time to a
study of the conditions of the company and
the possibilities OF the field in which it
operates, and his conclusions are embraced
IN the terse language OF his circular. He
says:
After two months investigation-the last
month in Chicago as president-I find that
1t is imperatively necessary that at least
100000 be provided without delay-that is
one-half Immediately and one-half before
the close of the present year-with call
for another s1.O0O,0O0 during the first half
of 1902, and one more for the same amount
in the last half Of 1902"
The Central Union Telephone Company
was organized twelve years ago and oper-
ates exchanges and toll stations in the
smaller cities of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

there has been a change, change which
Is indicated in literature. One thing has
happened which bears this matter more
intimately and effectively than all the re-
ligions of the world ever have been found
to do, and that is Darwinism. 1t has
made men know that from the lowest touch

The animals are OF our kin as much as
