EDWARDS IS FOUND
He Tells Unpleasant Incidents
in the Bartholin Case. -4
IE FEARED SUDDEN DEATH
And Left for Omaha--Can Assign
No Reason for the
-- Crimes. .y;

Denver, Aug. 11.-Mi1ton L. R. Edwards,
who formerly roomed at the, home of Mrs.
Annie Bartholin in Chicago, and for whom
the police of that city have been look
ing in order to learn what he may know:
concerning the murder Of Mrs. Bartholin
and Miss Minnie Mitchell, is now in Den
yer. He made the following statement:
LAS soon as 1 read in an Omaha paper
the story of the girls murder, l COM
municated with Minnie Mitchells brother,
who was q personal friend of mine.
THE reason 1 went to Omaha was to
secure employment. I had for some time
been working in Chicago for the Chicago
Junction Railway company, which is con-
nected with the Union stockyards. l was
about to go on my vacation when the un-
toward actions of Will Bartholin fastened
my departure. -. r--
'T left the home of Mrs Bartholin on
the night of the 3lst of July. On the. 1st
of August l slept in a hotel down town,
fearing that my life was in jeopardy, and
as remember it, left on the I'd of August.
On the 31st of July had gone to a room
not my own, in order to get where it was
cooler. About 2 or o'clock in the morn
ing I was awakened by cat jumping on
the window sill. This incident called my
attention to the fact that the screen had
been taken out and on lighting the gas
and making a further examination I DIS
covered that the screen in that window
was the only one missing. AS the next
day was pay day I was fearful all the
rest of the night and am now fully con-
vinced that had I slept there another
night I should have been murdered.
'fMrs. Bartholin had not been at the
house for perhaps fifteen days before
left. Will Bartho1in, contrary to his
custom, stayed.tabout the house most Of
his time and whenever I broached the
subject Of the welfare Of his mother. OF
her whereabouts, he would immediatel,
change the subject. Of course, had M
specific grounds on which to base any in
formation for the police, but on the nigh
of the 31st, as I remember it, spoke tt
several of the neighbors of my suspecions
Among these friends was a Mr.. Purd
| who was an intimate friend of mine. Mr.
Hunter, who was roOming at the house
also left, and he went to Toledo, Ohio
| On that same night, Mrs. Mitchell, tn
| mother of the murdered girl and he
! daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert Mitchell
were callers at the house and they wante'
| to know about William, who had no
| been seen for several days, and wher
Mrs. Bartholin was. At that time I toll
them of what I feared and advised then
| to get detective on, the trail Of Bar
tholin. If I had known that the body O
Mrs. Bartholin was then lying under tn
floor of the basement of the house
would certainly have informed the polio
! did not know Bartholin very we'll be
| cause he was rather uncommunicative
He was, in fact, more repellant than any
thing else, and so far as I know had n
| large following Of friends know of n
motive that could have prompted tn
commission Of the crime"

MR.. SCH0EN EXPLAINS IT
s"Apparent Lack of Diplomacy and
Dignity on the Part of a
Cabinet Member.
Nesu York Sun Special Servtos


Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 11.-For the
first time since the encounter of last
Wednesday night in which Attorney Cen
eral Knox figured so prominently at one
of the hotels Charles T. schoen of Phil
adelphia has consented to make state
ment of the affair. He says:
well. ours was jcoly party. We
had something to drink, laughed and
chatted freely, just as men are wont to do
under such conditions. For these reasons
I thought Mr.. Knox adopted an unwar-
rantable course when he sent a waiter
to inform us that our conduct was Of
fensive to him. :"
"But if I was amazed at his conduct my
establishment was certainly great when
Mr.. Knox, a member Of the president s
cabinet, deliberately offered us the great
est possible insult. AS he was leaving
the cafe with his friends he leaned over
our table and said; you are lot of dirty
ours.
"A minute later he came back and
rushing up to our table began to abuse
u.s. You are blackguards,' he exclaimed.
At that Mr.. Stephenson jumped up and
made a short-arm punch at him and then
there was a great scuffle. I am not sure
that Mr.. Stephenson landed his blow, but
I am Of the opinion that he did. think
1t landed on Knox's cheek. For my part
I never moved out of my chair. I was too
much shocked at the apparent lack of
diplomacy and dignity on the part Of, a
man in Mr.. Knox's official position. Nor
did Mr.. Cramp mix up in the affair offiists
for he felt just as I did about it.
''Mr. Knox simply went out Of the way
to find trouble and accomplished his mis-
sion. I desire to- remark that I observed
no signs of cambria tea or of teacups on
the table where Mr.. Knox and his
| friends were dining

Power of Endurance.
Ne.o TorH; Su,, Special Servtcs


Reading, Pa, Aug. 10.-Miss Mary
Swanger, aged 20, weight 1S0 pounds, has
just demonstrated that she is the queen
Of the harvest field in eastern Pennsyl-
vania. She is dark haired, straight and
we'll built, square shouldered and with
muscles of iron. She resides in the fam
lily Of Samuel Phillips, who conducts a
large stock farm near Prescott. AS he
was short of help at harvesting Miss
Swanger volunteered her services. Going
to the barn she took charge of the un-
loading Of the big wagons of wheat
sheaves. Alone and unaided she unloaded
the wagons, one every twenty minutes for
five consecutive hours fifteen wagon loads
in all.
Next day she worked at the cornsheller
and shoveled in 1900 bushels of corn on
the cob in about six hours Of steady work.
She did not do this as a special task for
a record, but worked steadily as an every
day affair. Miss Swanger says exercise
is the great thing that American women
| need. She is fearless of horses and was
able to master any animal she has ever
| tried to drives

KINGS GIFT TO NATION
OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF. WIGHT
Officers of the Army and
Navy. ',.

London, Aug. liking Edward has sig
nalized his coronation in a memorable
manner by the munif1cent gift to the ma
tion of Osborne House, one Of the favor
ite residences of the late Queen Vic

Under the will of the kings much beloved
mother, the Osborne House estate is, as Mr..
Balfour is aware, the private estate of the
sovereign Having to- spend a considerable
part of the year in the capital Of his king
dom and in its neighborhood at Windsor, and
having also strong home ties in the county
of Norfolk, which have existed now for near
ly forty years, the king feels he will be un-
able to make adequate use of Osborne House
as royal residence, and he, accordingly,
has determined to offer the property in the
Isle of Wight as gift to the nation.
AS Osborne House is sacred to the men,
ory Of the late queen, it Is the. kings wish
| that, with the exception of those apartments
which were in the personal occupation of her
majesty, his people shall always have ac-
cess to the house. which must ever be asso-
ciated with her beloved name As regards the
rest of the building, the king hopes it may be
devoted to national purposes and be con-
verted into convalescent home for officers
of the navy and army whose health has been
impaired in rendering service to their coun :
| try =. - a,r-. ...
IT.. in order to give full legal effect to the
kings wishes it is found that application to
parliament be necessary, the king trusts that
Mr. Balfour will see that the necessary steps
are in due course taken.* - a.--

siding in Shenandoah, said to-day that his
colliery, the Cambridge, would not be
placed in operation until the men are
willing to return to work. -.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 11.-Bones. sup
posed to be those of human being, were
Dug up yesterday in the rear of the lot at
o4l ih1rd street where Mrs. Martha Hille-
ana her son were searching for more of
the money which Is buried in their yard.
Another bottle tightly packed with bills
was unearthed, and also a chart which
seems to INDICATE that the aggregate
amounts of money hidden away on their
premises amounts to not less than $10,-
900. -
The bones were found on the north side
OF the yard near the place where the
ashes OF DR.. Casper Schuman, the former
owner OF the lot, are supposed to have
been buried. They were in a complete
state of decay and crumbled as soon as
| they were exposed to the air. "
While digging in the lot, a second chart
was found in bottle. From this chart,
which is in the nature of a memorandum,
and which is written on the fly leaf of an
old German medical work, it is figured
| that at least $4,000 has been concealed
| in the ground. The chart consists of a
series of dates, or more properly years,
written on the left side of the sheets
while on the right side is a series of num-
bers, evidently indicating dollars. The
years begin with 1878 and end 1890, and
the amounts foot up to $9,736.

SEIZE The MINES !
Martin Dolphin Wants the Govern
.-- ment to Act.
PRECEDENT SET BY CLEVELAND
All the Coal Required by the Gov

chilly, Thinks Dolphin.

New York, Aug. 11.-President Roosevelt
has in his hands. according to the World,
plan submitted by Martin Dolphin, for
mer president of the International Order
of Railroad and Commercial Telegraphers,
by which, Mr.. Dolphin thinks, the strike
in the anthracite coal fields could be
ended. President Roosevelt has referred
the proposition to the attorney general S
department and 1t is now being considered
by H. M. Hoyt, acting attorney general )
This plan is to have the government ex-
ercise the right Of eminent domain and
seize certain number of the mines and
operate them for the purpose of taking out
eminent in its various buildings, on the
ships of the navy department and for all
other governmental purposes. e,
The right OF the government to inter-
vene in a strike which interferes any way
with governmental functions was proved,
Mr.. Dolphin contends, by President Cleve-
lands action in the Chicago strike in 1893,
when he ordered out United States troops
to keep the strikers from interfering with
the transportation of the mails.
In the present case Intervention of the
kind he advocates, Mr.. Dolphin says, would
also break the backbone of the strike by
forcing the operators to resume work in
all the mines.
