BAD MAN DEAD.
After Several Days Doings He Finally
Suicides,

After Several Days Doings He Finally
Suicides.
Oakland, CAL, Oct. 21.-One of the
most startling episodes in the history
of police annals on the Pacific coast
was brought to light here when George
Nottingham committed suicide in his
own home while it was being raided by
the police. The deed followed series
of crimes committed during Saturday
night and Sunday morning, the likes
of which are unheard of in the history
of crime in California.
Saturday night at o'clock Noting
ham held up and robbed the inmates
of a saloon; at 10 o'clock he held
up another; at 12 o'clock he held up
freight train, and on top Of those
crimes at 1920 he held up and stabbed
Larue Carr.
BY this time the police had been no.
titled and the entire force was put on
the lookout for the desperate. I'm
mediately after the stabbing of Carr
an officer saw him and gave chase,
sending bullets all around the man as
he fed. The latter replied by firing on
the policeman. Owing to the speed at
which the two were running, the bull
lets all went wild and Nottingham es-
capped in the darkness.
Soon the police received information
which led them to suspect Nottingham.
With force of deputies his residence
was surrounded and surrender de-
manded. There was no response. The
place was entered and the man found
dead.
He left note saying that he was
under the influence Of drug during
Saturday night.
It has now been learned that before
setting out on his remarkable night of
crime in Oakland, Nottingham held up
at least two men on the San Fran
cisco side of the bay. His brother,
Walter, has been arrested by the po-
lice.

AIR SHIP IN SAN FRANCISCO
DR.. AUGUST GRETH TAKES A
SAIL OVER THE CITY.
It Is Believed in Many Essentials He
Has Solved the Problem of Aerial
Navisation-ls Cigar Shaped-WiIl
Lift 1000 Pounds and Weighs 800
Pounds.

| San Francisco, Oct 19.-Dr. August
Greth, who for a year past has been
unostentatiously working on an air.
ship, recently surprised the residents
of San Francisco by sailing over their
heads for two hours, directing his ma
chine almost at will and demonstrate
ing that in many essentials he has
solved the problem Of aerial naviga-
tion. DR.. Greth had previously tested
his airship by making ascensions with
the balloon held captive by long
rope, but this was the first time that
he had gone skyward free.
His ascension was made from lot
almost in the heart of the city. and
DR.. Greth attempted to encircle tow
ering newspaper building about mile
eastward, but found the high currents
too strong for his power, and then
turned in an opposite direction. Trade
winds carried him oceanward, and for
time he lowered over the vicinity
Of the Golden Gate, making various
successful trials of his steering gear.
The currents threatened to take him
to make landing on the parade
ground of the Presidio military reser-
vation, but made the mistake of letting
out too much gas, and he landed In
the bay about 200 feet from shore. A
crew of the life saving station rescued
him and his flying machine, which
sustained very little damage by the
unfortunate termination of the voy.
age. .,.... ..
Like santos-D -Dumont's.
The balloon of Greth's aerial contri-
vance is cigar shaped and has capa-
city of $4,000 feet of gas, with lift
ing capacity of 1900 to 1000 pounds.
The car beneath the balloon is SINH
lar in construction to that used by
Santos Dumont, and weighs about 800
pounds.
The engine is 12 horse power gaso-
line motor, and the total weight car
ried skyward, including that of the in
ventor and 200 pounds of ballast, was
about 14OO pounds. For some reason
the motor would not develop more
than six horse power, and DR.. Greth
consequently found difficulty in max
ing headway against the Currents.
He expects to make another ascen-
sion in a few days, when he will have
repaired the minor damage caused by
the salt water bath and remedied the
minor defect brought out by his two
hours cruise In cloudland.

DoWlE DRAWS BIG CROWDS.
Hundreds of New Workers Attend
MeetinuS,


New York, Oct. 19.-Five thousand
persons were turned away from Madi-
son Square garden this afternoon after
all the seats in the building had been
filled with u great crowd curious to
see John Alexander Dowie on his first
appearance before a New York audi.
ence. Fully $4,000 persons were in
the garden at 2:30 O'Clock, when the
services began with the professional
hymn. which the Zion white robed
choir, to the number of about GOO. and
the capped and gowned ordained Of
fcers of the Christian Catholic church
in Zion took part. The procession as
cended to the platform, where the
choir took position behind the pulpit
and the officers occupied the places
at the sides. When those on the plat
form had taken their places, Dowie
ascended the platform, accompanied
by overseers Daniel Bryant, ]. c. Ex-
cell, A. ]. Gladstone Dowie, ]. e..
Spigner, G. Z. Mason and w. Ham
mond Piper, who took their places be-
hind the pulpit in the order in which
they had ascended the rostrum. DR..
Dowie wore the usual white robe, with
a black robe above it. The service of
prayer opened with the invocation by
DR.. Dowie, followed by the singing of
a hymn, during which the crowd con-
tinued to pour into the garden.
This was followed by the recital Of
the creed and the commandments and
the reading of scripture, during which
hundreds of persons started to leave
the hall, causing much confusion. The
exodus continued, in spite Of repeated
orders to close the doors, until nearly
a third of the audience had departed,
many of the vacant seats being filed
with the waiting crowd outside. After
order had been somewhat restored, DR..
Dowie said:
"If this is New York, and this is a
typical New York congregation am
in the face of new experience. I
think that some of the people that
came thought this was a Buffalo Bill
show. l wonder If the congregations
of the churches here enter and leave
as they please. I reckon we have
learned something and will be pre-
pared hereafter. There will be no
more going out Of the front door. If
any have remained outside, let them
in. 1t seems shame they have. not
the seats the Buffalo Bill persons have
left" No one entered.
''Well, let us keep the quiet audi
ence we have" said the preacher.
Dr. Dowie took his text from the
third chapter of the Book Of Revela-
tions, the goth verse.
Behold, stand at the door and
knock. If any man hear my voice
and open the door, will come into
him and will sup with him and he
with me-"
Then, walking back and forth in
front of his pulpit, he delivered his
sermon.

Jim Hill Now Has Clear Sailing In
Oriental Traffic.
New York, Oct 19.-J. d. Farrell Of
Seattle, assistant to President Hill of
the Great Northern, who spent several
months in Asia arranging future trade
for Mr.. Hills big ships, was in New
York this week. He says a declara-
tion of peace in the rate war between
the Pacific Mail & Oriental Steamship
company, with complete restoration
of rates, clears the atmosphere for
development Of oriental trade in the
future. Mr.. Hills Asiatic service be-
gins next spring, the second freighter
being launched in December. He says
the deal with the Grand Trunk rail-
road, whereby the latter will send all
its Pacific freight via the Northern
Securities lines and Great Northern
steamships to Asia is farreaching.
1t is considered here that this is a
declaration Of war against the Ca
madam Pacific to draw traffic from the
latter's oriental vessels, and will add
much tonnage to the Hill ships in both
directions. The Grand Trunk has had
an agreement with the Burlington for
interchange of traffic at Chicago for
some time. Mr.. Farrell says the Great
Northern ocean line will do nothing
to demoralize rates again. There is
talk here of secret pool which VIII
have an understanding with the Ca
madam Pacific, If possible, FOR an
equitable division OF tonnage. 1t is
not illegal to form an ocean complna-
| tion.

HOSPITALS SHOULD
FURNISH AMBULANCBES

From Marshall County Journal.
THE ABEDEEN DEMoCRATi in it's last
issue makes a kick for a hospital aln-
#bulance for that city and asks its
readers: why would it not be a good
idea for the county commissio u
procure suitable am bulance for use
at the county hospital and rent it u
private hospital when not needed by
the county? Or could not the City
and county join in the expense Of buy.
ing an ambulance. II the city and
county do no feel like incurring the
expense, could not some Of oul
wealthy citizens be induced to sub
scribe fora fund for that purpose :
And we add. Why don't the hospitals
provide the conveyance themselves
It would seem that hospital in an
to-date city the Size Of Aberdeen
should not be without vehicle Of
this character.

The LEADER OF THE
FRENCH SOCIALISTS

M. Jaures is to-day the most prom
inent leader of the French Socialist
party, as well as one of the most at.
tractiye figures In parliamentary life.
By general consent lie is not far from
being foremost among the great
political orators of. France, and for
years a speech by Jaures has always
been sure to draw large crowds to the
Palais Bourbon, or to the popular
meetings where he often makes him
self heard for the one cause that is
dear to him. IS
Although belonging to a party in
the Chamber that counts fewer than
fifty members. he was this very year
elected to the yice-presidency Of the
Chamber, an honor that is usually
bestowed only on the most represen-
tative members of the Republican
majority. In two ational speeches
he recently challenged the attention
of the world by bringing up two Of
the most acute and delicate questions
in French politics, the question of
Alsace Lorraine and the Dreyfus
affair. ID
He is at the present time the
Frenchman outside Of the administra-
tion whose personality is the most
striking and whose influence is the
most powerful. His very career
challenges attention and commands
respect, for It shows the struggles Of
| . man against the interests Of his
class to promote 3 social order more
lin accord with his notions OF justice,
and it shows the elevation Of q mind
which has worked its way toward 9
higher ideal of life From q sketch

SIELOff GIVEN DECISION
BESTED MARTIN JUDGE IN TEN FAST
AND EXCITING ROUNDS.
Innghting Was an Interesting Fea-
ture Of COntest-Cullen Given De-
cfsion Over KOerner.

Otto Sieloff, of Chicago. won the decision
over Martin Judge, of Philadelphia, last
night at the Empire Theater after ten
rounds of the fastest and most exciting
boxing ever seen in Indianapolis. While
Sieloff's victory was not secured by caus-
ing his opponents seconds to throw up the
sponge. II was decisive and met with gen.
eral approval Judge finished the ten
rounds and was boxing hard at the finish
although 1t was plainly evident that Sieloff
had the best of the argument. Judge was
sent to the floor twice. but was up in few
seconds, ready to give nearly as good as
he received.
The men entered the ring in the best OF
condition and during the entire ten rounds
they kept up fast contest, the infighting
being feature Of the bout. as both men
displayed great cleverness in close range
work. Sieloff the aggressor in nearly
every round. but in Judge he met a man
who was able to give him a very hard
argument. The Chicago man gradually i'm
proved his advantage and by the fifth
was on the road to victory, as he displayed
more cleverness. Judge came to the
scratch, however. in every round and was
loudly applauded for his gameness
The boxing carnival from the first pre-
liminary to the main bout was the best
that has veer been given by the Indian
apolis Athletic Club and those who did not
see the boxing missed the best sport ever
witnessed in this city.
Four bouts were on the programme and
winner was declared In overly contest.
In the semi windup of six rounds between
Jack Cullen and George Koerner, both of
Indianapolis, Referee Ryan gave Cullen
the decision. Friends of Koerner criticised
the decision. but the non-partisan specta-
tors believed that Cullen was entitled to be
called the winner. as he displayed the most
cleverness and was the aggressor in nearly
every round.
The two four-round preliminaries were
fast and exciting. Poodle" Sellers won the
and Kid Henderson made AL O'Bannion
stop in the third round of their four-round
bout
