that the stomach had refused to assimilate the

were preparing for the worst. The food had
generated gas and the pressure had influenced
the action of the heart. This the startling
message which given to the world When
the shock had passed the people asked who was
to blame for giving the President solid food be-
fore he was in condition to receive it.
Replying to this query. DIR. Roswell Park said:
The President was not given solid food before
he could stand it. He was perfectly able to as

DUKE OF YORK MAY ATTEND FUNERAL
THE QUESTION BEING CONSIDERED BY
KING EDWARD.

London, Sept. 14.-It is learned by The Asso-
ciated Press that King Edward is considering
the advisability of the Duke of Cornwall and
York attending the funeral Of President McKin-
ley. The uncertainty which exists here to
the date Of the ceremony and the lack Of knowl-
edge Of the attitude OF President Roosevelt and
others toward such visit have prevented any,
thing definite being decided upon.
The Foreign Office heartily Endorses the sug-
gestion, subject to the approval Of the United
States Cabinet and the consent OF King Ed
ward who. under the circumstances is obvious
iy the most concerned. II is said that IL 1t is
decided TO be advisable for the Duke of York
10 attend the funeral. the Canadians will doubt
less gladly put up with the disarrangement of
their programme consequent upon such mo-
nentous diversion If the royal tour. AS re-
CARDS this suggestion and other official details
connected with Great Britains efforts to honor
the dead President great uncertainty prevails
owing to the Marquis Of Lansdowne the For
efen Secretary, being In a sequestered spot in
Ireland, King Edward being in Denmark and
the Cabinet being scattered over the United
Kingdom.

MESSAGES FROM THE DEATHBED.
Aside from the relatives OF the President
Senator Hanna seemed to feel most deeply the
overwhelming burden of grief. Only once dur
ing the night did he emerge from the house
and then when he sought to speak to those
about him his voice wavered and choked his
utterances. Putting his hands to his face he
turned away, sobbing like heartbroken child.
Frequently men who came out were overcome
with grief before their brief sentences could be
spoken and they turned away, leaving the anx-
ious correspondents straining over the ropes
with their pencils pressed to their notebooks to
catch the words that remained unspoken A
little after midnight John G. Milburn walked
slowly out to where the crowd was waiting and
in his firm. deliberate style began to tell the
men that he had come with message from
Secretary Cortelyou, who was too busy to see
them. For a moment he paused, his face in the
glare of the electric light. became rigid and dis
tressed, and, lifting his hand, he said: Bows
Secretary Cortelyou asked me to tell you that
the end is very near. The President His
voice broke. and bowling his head. he turned
away. with the sentence unfinished and his
powerful frame trembling with grief as he
walked despairingly back TO the house

FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
Henrietta L. Berg Sues John ID. stumph
Other Cases.

Henrietta L. Berg recently brought suit
against John b. Stumph for 5000 damages
for an alleged breach of promise to marry
her. Stumph filed an answer to the COM
plant, saying the reason he did not marry
her was because he was affected with
heart trouble and physicians had pro-
nounced his case incurable. On account
or this he said he thought 1t unwise TO
make a matrimonial venture.
Yesterday the plaintiff filed a reply to
the answer, setting out in full the under
standing that is alleged to have existed
between the two. She AYERS that Stumph
and herself are advanced in years
and that he represented to her that he
was in need of helpmate. She asserts
that her former husband is dead and
that his wives are either dead or divorced,
and that both were free at the time of
the alleged agreement. The reply says
Stumph made the plaintiff believe that he
needed helpmate in his old age. She says
that. besides these representations, he
claimed to be lonely and to want COM
panion. She, also, was lonely, she asserts.
and was in need of companionship.
