SCULPTOR DIES
IN AN ASYLUM
Adolph Krause, Famous
m the Art World,
Passes Away.

HYDE PARK, Mass, Nov S.-Adolpn
F. Krause, the famous sculptor, died IN
Danvers Insane Hospital last night.
Krause had been receiving treatment at
the institution since last July. He was 81
years of age. A wife, four sons and two
daughters survive him.
A pensioner of the Prussian Govern
ment and winner of the grand prize of
Rome, the name of the sculptor was es-
tablished in Europe before he came to
America, in 1881. In this country he con-
tinued to win fame, and it was the disap-
pointment of his ambition to produce a
masterpiece which is said to have caused
his mind to give way.
He had partially completed a model in
clay of a heroic figure of Belshazzar at
the moment of seeing the handwriting on
the wall when his mind became unbal-
anced. Among his noted pieces in Amer
lea are the Theodore Parker and the Girls =
pus at Tuck's monument. In the compe =
tition for the Iowa State soldiers monu-
ment he won the second prize. He was
the sculptor of the winged figures of Vic
tory that crowned the towers of Machin
cry Hall at the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
which received great praise.

D|MM|CK ADMITS
USING THE COIN
Superintendent Narrates
Graphic Tale of
Guilt.
An Indulgent Father-in-Law
Sends Money to Help
Defendant.

Superintendent Frank Leach of the
Mint told a damaging story under oath
yesterday in the United States District
Court about Walter N. Dimmick, ex-chief
clerk of the Mint, on trial for embezzling
Government funds.
On February 4, 1901, according to Super
intendent Leach he called Dimmick into
his office and informed him that he de-
sired to count $133S 81 which Dimmick' g
books showed was in the chief clerks Of
flee in the safe. This money had been
received by Dimmick from the Selby
Smelling and Lead Works for bluestone.
one of the by-products of the Mint, sold
to the Selby Company. On the next morn
ing D1mm1ck came to Leach and said:
'Mr. Leach, for the first time in my life
1 have told you a lie, and could net
sleep last night thinking over it." Then
he confessed that he had used the money
for his own purposes. He said that he
would make it eood-that he was the Gus
todian of the money and had always pro y
duced it when called upon to do so; that
he was under bonds, and the Government
would not lose dollar. Dimmick fol-
lowed up this statement with what was
virtually a plea for mercy, saying that
he had been in debt for about $4,000 and
that he had paid up $4,000 of that debt on.
of his earnings.
II told him. continued Superintendent
Leach, that whatever his purpose might
have been in using me money he had
committed criminal act. He told me
then that he expected to receive. $1,000
from the sale Of life insurance policy
on March 5. I told him that could not
wait that long and that he would have
said that he would write to his father-in-
law for the money. He wrote, and day
or two later he showed me a telegram
from his father-in-law stating that after
he had received certain papers from Dim
mick he would send the money. 1 said to
him then that his ideas and mine with
regard to propriety and integrity were so
far apart that his relations with the Mint
must cease, and that would give him
three or four months to look out for an
other situation. He finally made good the
money on February 49,"
Leach identified the seven receipts
which form the basis of the Indictment
as being in the handwriting of Dimmick.
He testified further that Dimmick had
sole charge of the sales Of by-products
to the Selby Smelling and Lead Com.
pany.
After Ira T. Blackwood, assistant cash
Ter of Selby's, had also identified the re
ceipted bills the court adjourned until
Monday.

PARK COMMISSIONERS
TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
Decide to Advance Wages Of Skilled
Laborers From So to SO so
Per Dav

At meeting of the Park Commissioners
held Thursday afternoon it was decided
to improve the Japanese garden in Golden
Gate Park. Lakes and small streams will
be formed, walks will be laid and the gar
den will be further adorned with Japan
csc houses.
The park superintendent suggested in
his report that the museum building is in
need of repairs. To make the necessary
repairs the commissioners decided to ap-
propriate $500. For the improvement of
Franklin Square $4,000 was set apart.
Professor Gruber reported that the coll
lection of curios in the park museum has
recently received valuable acquisition in
the nature of a collection of Japanese
fish and crabs. The collection was pre-
scented by w. J. Sargent, tourist.
In answer to the park laborers' petition
for an increase of wages from 81 to 81 80
per day, the commissioners decided that
there was not sufficient money in the park
fund to permit an increase in the salary
of all the laborers employed in the park
It was determined, however, to grant the
required increase in the case of all skilled
laborers, such as teamsters and assistant
gardeners
