Woman Fined but Man Will Fight the
Case

Mrs. Ida A. Brock and DIR. Wilson J.
Best were arrested yesterday afternoon at
an uptown hotel by Precinct Detective
Evans of the second precinct and locked
up. the former at the house Of detention
and the latter at the station house
They We're arrested on complaint Of the
woman's husband, Charles S. Brock, who
charges them with violating a clause Of

formed his sister that their mother was
very III at her home in Boston as result
of news received by her announcing the
arrest of her daughter.
A consultation was held between Mr.
Darlington and Mr.. Mullowny, the prose-
cutting attorney, and it was decided to let
Mrs. Brock withdraw her plea and de-
mand for a jury trial and enter a plea Of
guilty, and ask that a fine be imposed.
Mr. MulloWny suggested to Judge kimball
thai fine be imposed on the woman in
stead of sending her to JAIL saying that he
had been informed that her mother was
very Ill and that her brother would pay a
fine and return with her to Boston at once
The woman thereupon changed her plea
from not guilty to guilty and the court
imposed fine of $50, which was paid.

nave been separated for several weeks
The Brooks are residents Of Boston. while
the doctor is from New York

not been right. The doctor states that all
has been proper between him and Mrs
Brock.

was aware of their destination.

that she had the caller named the town in
which the son had resided, and said that
he had come from California to inform her
of the sons death. saying that he died
eleven weeks ago as a result Of being
shot
The woman was very much surprised at
the information, and told her visitor that
she had received letter from her son
little over a month ago, and at that time
he was very much alive and enjoying the
best Of health. The caller still clung to his
story, and even insisted that the son had
left some property which would fall to the
mother. He suggested that the mother go
to California, and said that he could ar
which he claimed he could get for S54. The
woman became suspicious. but gave him
quarter, telling him to remain at the house
while she went to get the balance
Instead of going for the money she paid
a hurried visit to Capt. Boardman's Office
at police headquarters. where she explained
the matter. Detective Sergeant OBrien
was dispatched to the house, where he
found the man waiting. He was escorted
to headquarters and described himself as
being Edward billiard, sixty-two years old,
Of Chicago

of false pretenses was preferred against
him, and the case will be heard in the Po-

PEOPLE OF MARS OUR sUPERloRs
The Martians as Race Million
Years Our Seniors.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-That the planet
Mars is peopled by superior race of
human beings is the opinion of Prof.
George W: Hough, astronomer at the.
Dearborn observatory at Nofcehhw estern
university. The noted educator is just
as firm in his conviction that the peo-
pie Of the earth will neve be able to
converse with the inhabitants of the
sister planet. 1t is possible that the
Inhabitants of the other planet may
attempt to signal within the next few
hundred centuries, but he considers
earthly science too much in it's infancy
to accomplish any such feat. The
Martians and their secrets are des-
tined, in the opinion of Prof. Hough, to
remain as a closed book to men of the
earth, at least for hundreds of CEN
turtles. The astronomer, after years of
investigation and almost ceaseless OBJ
|servation Of the planets movements,
has reached the conclusion that this
communication, if possible, would be
of great advantage to the scientists of
the earth.
That the people of Mars are superior
to the inhabitants of the earth he ex-
plains by the assertion that the race
of Martians is at least 100000 years
older than that on the earth. In this
almost inconceivable length of time
the people there have gained depth
of scientific research he considers that
is impossible here Oh earth.

BURNING OIL RUNS IN STREAMS
FIRE SPREADS RAPIDLY AND THE
WHOLE FIELD WILL SOON

SEEMS LITTLE CHANCE OF STAY.
ING THE PROGRESS OF THE
FLAMES.

Beaumont, Tex, Sept. 13.-The oil
field r. on fire, and, judging by the
great volume of smoke which is flow
ing in from Spindle Top, there is grave
danger that great loss will be sus-
tanned, il the field is not entirely de-
stroyed. The fire started in some
waste oil along the Texas & Sabine
tracks and burned about thirty feet of
trestle. This was put under control
and it was believed all danger had
passed, but in the meantime the fire
in some way had been communicated
to the field and number of huge set
thing tanks containing thousands of
barrels of petroleum have already ex-
pioded, and others are reported to be
in the direct line of the fire, which has
spread over wide area already. The
is no chance for stopping the progress
of the flames for some time. The fire
is spreading rapidly and it is believed
that the whole field will be ignited in
few hours. A telephone message
from Gladys, which is the station at
the oil field, says the whole of the
keith-Ward tract, embracing several
acres and containing a large number
of wells, has been burned over and it
is believed that some OF the ,
Wells Have Caught Fire,
though this is not as yet positively de.
termined, as no one can approach to
find out
At 1 o'clock this morning the big
tanks belonging to the Higgins COM
pany were burning. Runners had been
sent out in every direction for the men
who own or represent the companies.
The telephone service is entirely in
adequate to care for the scores Of
calls and the streets are filled with
people, thousands of whom are on the
way to the field in every sort of We.
hicle and on foot.
A statement issued yesterday
showed that there are 40 producing
wells in the field, some of which are
buried under earth to safeguard
against fire. - ,,-
The agent of the Gladys telephoned
that the flames seemed to have re-
manned stationary during the last few
minutes, and unless there are further
explosions OF oil tanks the fire may be
confined to the present burning dis
trict. The tank known as the Hig-
gins has blown off its top and the burn
ing oil is running along the ground,
and this may be communicated to 9TH
er tanks

st. Louis, Sept. 13.-The principal
item Of interest yesterday In connec.
ton with the investigation being car
ried on by Circuit Attorney Folk into
the alleged Doodle combines in both
branches of the municipal assembly
were the return Of Former Delegate
William Tamblyn from Cleveland in
the custody of an officer, and the ses-
sions of the grand jury. Before being
placed in cell Tamblyn asked to see
Mr.. Folk. His intention was to tell all
he knew about the doings of the COM
bine in the house of delegates; but he
finally decided not to say anything at
this time, for the circuit attorney told
Tamblyn that If he desired to- make
any statement about matters that were
being investigated he must do SO: vol
UNFAIRLY, without hope of clemency.
Mr.. Folk said he had all the evidence
needed to convict the members of the
house combine.
Mr.. Folk said yesterday that almost
every one of the indicted members of
the house of delegates combine had
offered to turn states evidence, but he
Declined to Accept More
than two or three with promise of
clemency. Before j. K. Murrell's re-
turn and confession the members OF
the combine, Mr.. Folk said, were 80
sure of their position that offers Of the
authorities to take care of the inform
ers were spurned. ~
The grand jury held two sessions
yesterday. Atteach session number
of members OF the council that passed
the city lighting bill in 1899, in addi-
ton to Robert McMath, former presi-
dent: of the board Of public improve
ments, and the Hemens brothers, cleo
trical contractors, were called on to
tell what they knew of the transac-
tions connected with the. defeat and
passage of such measures -:
all day long rumorsfwefe rife that
indictments would shortly be found
against members of the council COM
bine, but the, grand jury adjourned I'M
til to-day without taking such action.

continue the investigation into the

come. ~ ..f -, Il !. z@v,
