soaked down under the foundation and
sCftened the ground and allowed the wall
tc settle very rapidly.
For years there has been a big crack
in the north wall, just under the first
window from the west side and there was
another big crack extending from top to
bottom of the west wall. about ten feet
from the north end These cracks show
the building did not settle properly, but
there was no alarm felt as it was geneT-
ally supposed that the building was con-
structed on the same weight Of founda-
ton as any two-story building. Now it
is learned that the foundation was con
structed only for a one-story building,
and was not laid at any great depth, as is
customary in building brick blocks of
more than one floor.
The building is owned BIZ Y J. HInter,
and the lower floor is occupied by hirI as
a meat market and grocery store. The
second floor is occupied by J. II Hayiord
as restaurant and hotel. ]. II. Hay
ford and his brother Lewis were sleep
ing in the northwest corner room of the
building when the wall began to settle.
and yesterday he told a reporter for the
Eagle the following account of the cox
lapse:
1T was about O'Clock when suddenly
a big piece Of plastering fell down. Ny
brother got up and shouted to me that
the building was falling down I told him
to light the lamp, which he did. and then
some more pieces of the ceiling fell down.
He had hustled into his clothes and
while L was dressing I told him to wake
up the men and have them come in and
carry out the big piano which stood di-
rectly in the corner which fell out. When
first got up and looked at the wall
there was a big crack two or three inches
wide. and we could see outside. When the
men came we carried out the piano and
furniture and then began getting break
fast.
1T was a few minutes after o'clock
when the wall collapsed. I was sitting at
the desk checking out the boarders as
they ate their breakfast when the wall
went out with big roar. OF course,
everyone ran out to see what was the
matter. and there was the big hole in the
wall. It went out almost exactly as you
see it now except that about two hours
later about dozen bricks fell out.
1T is a good thing that we moved that
piano. as believe that the whole wall
would have went out. and in fact the
floor of the room, had that big, heavy
piano been left on the floor"
The west side of the second floor is used
as sleeping apartments and laundry. by
Mr.. Hayford They moved everything
except the laundry appliances out of that
side of the building.
Mr.. Hunter yesterday put a large force
of men at work bracing up the second
floor and roof of the building and today
workmen will begin sto tear down the en-
tire wall Mr.. H w. Porter, who owns
the building TO be erected just west OF
Nj Hunters shop, stated yesterday that
he expected to make some arrangements
with Mr.. Hunter whereby they would
build a party wall together. The old
wall Will be torn out and boarded up and
the rooms will be used as If nothing had
happened.

is SHE HEIRESS
TO MILLIONS?
Miss LudIum May Own Tract
in New York.
TRINITY CHURCH ON LAND
Records in Case Go Back 140
Years.

Miss Pearl Ludlum, the little blue eyed
girl who writes all the letters for Manager
Dold at the big Dold packing house has a
chance to become a multi-milnonaire.
Amidon & Comfy are hunting up the evil
dence to prove the title of the Ludlum
family to an immense property in the
state of New York.
This is another story about the famous
Aneke JAMS estate 1t viii be remembered
that there are some of the heirs to the
Aneka Jams estate in this city, but it is
now claimed that the supreme court of
the state OF New York has handed down
an opinion to the effect that the Aneke
Jams heirs have no right to the great es-
tate in question, but that the heirs of
Elisha Frazer are the real owners.
Pearl Ludlum father, J. w. Ludlum,
lives al 1920 North Topeka avenue, and
his grandmother was a daughter Of Elisha
Frazer and that is how Miss Pearl is in
line for the great fortune.
One hundred and forty-three years ago.
Elisha Frazer owned $40 acres of land
which is now in the most valuable part of
New York City. Trinity church is now on
the land formerly owned and leased by
Frazer TO Everhart Bogaras for 80 years
Some idea of the value of the land at
that time may be gained from the fact
that Bogardas gave Frazer forty barrels
of corn for the ninety-nine year lease.
After few years Bogardas married the
widow Of Aneke Jams, after the death of
Bogardas she and her numerous children
continued TO exercise ownership over the
land and collect the rent. but it is now
claimed that the courts have held that the
lease has expired and the lands revert to
the heirs of Elisha Frazer.
That all seems plain and people who are
not lawyers win ask what is the reason
that the heirs Of Elisha Frazer cannot
come into possession Of the land and the
s65.oo.ooo deposited in the State Bank Of
New York, which is said to be aceumu-
lated rent during the time the Aneke
Jams heirs were fighting the case in the
courts of New York
That Is Just what the firm of Amidon
& Comfy are going 20 find out They may
'n the near future file suit in New
York and if they are successful the><in
be several millions Rf that estate come

NEW NAME FOR ROCK ISLAND
1t Is Now a system Instead of n
Route

The Great Rock Island Route ceased
to exist yesterday. according to a notice
received in this city. In its place was
born the Rock Island System" The
change in name is the result of an order
issued by President Leeds, which has
been made necessary because of the nu-
merous tributary lines acquired by the
Rcck Island, making it not a route. y

The change in name will result in a
great deal of work in different direc-
ticns. On the ticket offices all over the

which has been so familiar to the public.

substituted. The same changes will be
made on all the freight and passenger
cars of the company, and on every other
piece OF property which IL owns This
work will occupy some time.

LACK OF INTEREST.
Both State Chairmen Lay Claim to
BLEEDING Kansas


Topeka, Kan, Nov. kansas is fin
ishing the quietest state campaign in
its history. In some counties the fund
provided for carrying on the campaign
has not been touched, so little interest
has there been taken in the contest.
Local fights in some instances have fur
nished practically the only diversion in
otherwise undressing affairs.
The Republican and Democratic state
chairmen have issued their customary
forecasts. each claiming the state by a
good majority. The Democratic man
ayers privately concede, however. that
the chances for the election of the Re
publican ticket are good as far as the
state is concerned. The Democrats in
sist at the same time that they have
good chance of carrying the legislature
on account of the factionaI differences
that have been engendered among the
Republicans as the result of the sena-
torial fight 1t is possible that they will
make gains in some counties. The ques-
ton of reciprocity has entered very lit
tie into the Republican campaign.
Roosevelt's record and general pros
perity have furnished the theme for the
Republican orators. W. II. Craddock,
the Democratic nominee, has based his
campaign on new tax theory. w. ].
Bailey, the Republican nominee for
governor, has not been in the canvass
for the past two months on account0of
the fatal illness of his father.
The legislature when elected will have
to contend with a fierce three-cornered
fight for United States senator, the
It's, Congressman Chester l. Long and
Governor w. z. Stanley. Harris, Demo
crat, is a candidate for reelection to
the senate.

COL. HUSTON ROASTED
Reprimanded by Order Of Court
martial For Not Stopping the
Riot at Preside Sept. Is.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The records in
the case of Colonel Joseph Huston, Nine
teenth infantry, have been received at
the war department and filed for future
reference. This officer was tried by court
martial as a result of a riot at the gates
of the Preside of San Francisco. Sept.
10 last
1t was alleged that Colonel Huston did
nothing TO stop the riot and that orders
issued to Lieutenant Feeler. officer of
the day. were not proper under the cir
cumStances. The court returned a verdict
of guilty and sentenced the officer to be
reprimanded by the reviewing authority.
II was stated that the court was thus
lenient on the ground that the accused
thought he was acting within the pro
visions of the law"
The reprimand called for was admin
istered by Major General Hughes, COM
handing the department OF California
In approving the sentence General
1T seems almost incredible that an Off
Ger of Lieutenant Colonel Illusions ad-
vanIages should believe that the law was
such that he might permit a rlotouS as
sembIage of soldiers to commit an ag-
graVated breach of the peace and con-
tinue its criminal course for from one to
two hours along the outside boundary of
his camp, in the immediate vicinity and
in plain hearing of his tent, where he
was. without taking any steps to suppress
such riotous assemblages- But the court
having found that the accused evidently
held that he was acting within the pro-
visions of the law the reviewing au-
thority limits himself to stating that un-
der .ch conditions as are shown to have
existed in this case, any officer falling
to take all possible measures to suppress
such riotous conduct and TO bring the
offender TO order does not execute his
paramount duty. His authority to do so
is not disturbed by any lines of limita-
ton. Lieutenant Colonel Huston is re-
leased from arrest and will report for

BATTLE SHORTLY EXPECTED
Colombian Troops GO in Search of the
Enemy.


Colon, Colombia, Nov. 1.-Nearly 1900
Colombian troops boarded a train at
Colon this afternoon for a point on the
railroad line, and it was rumored were
to leave the cars near Tabernailla sta
ton. Several hundred insurgents are
reported to be at san Pablo, about
halfway across the isthmus, and in
the surrounding hills. A large number
of rebels also have been seen, off and
on, at all stations between Tabernailla
and Culebra. For the first time since
the United States forces undertook to
maintain free transit across the 18TH
mus the train which left here this aft
ernoon with government troops did not
fly the American flag. nor were any
American marines aboard it. The
troops boarded the cars in the usual
manner, that is. carrying a large sup
ply of ammunition. They Travelled liz
open cars.
Nearly 1000 troops left Panama also
thi safternoon for stations on the road
Rear Admiral Casey, the American
commander. evidently sanctions the
transportation OF troops. as il is con-
sidered impossible to- end the strife on
the isthmus IL skirnishing along the
railroad is not allowed.
News Of fighting may be received at
any moment. There is much specula-
ton here regarding the insurgent gen.
eral Herrera's probable course of ac-
ton in view Of the new policy of the
government
