MYSTERY OF LAWYERS
DEATH NOT YET SOLVED
Sensational Climax Withheld at
Funck Hearing.

LEBANON. Pa. Sept. 9.-Like the
modern detective story. to which it
promises to bear some analogy, the
Commonwealth's climax in the chain Of
sensations by which it proposes to show
that J. Marshal Funck. one of the lead
ing attorneys of this part of the State,
was murdered In his law office on July
by Constable John L. Fisher and then
hung up to give the idea of suicide. is
being reserved for the last chapter
Those that looked for the links that
would leave no further doubt to be
tangled at the preliminary hearing were
disappointed. In the presence of a curl
Gus crowd Fisher was arraigned before
Alderman Robert Miller, and District
Attorney Charles V. Henry brought out
just what he deemed sufficient for a
prima facie case of murder. Although
counsel for the prisoner contended that
the showing was flimsy and that il had
not even been schOwn that Fisher was
near or rather in Funck's office prior
10 the time the lawyer was found hang
ing from the window latch, the alderman
deemed the evidence sufficient to war
rant holding the constable without bail
on a charge of murder.

LOOMS UP
FOR SECOND PLACE
Former Nebraska Senator Groomed
as RooseveltS Running Mate.

Nebraska has another candidate for
the Republican nomination for Vice
President, according to dispatches from
Omaha.
Gen. Charles F. Henderson. former
United STATES Senator from Nebraska,
is the man who is now mentioned by
several prominent Nebraska Republican
organizations as President Roosevelt's
running mate.
Although General Manderson's boom
las not been formally announced. as has
IJhe boom of that other welI-known Ne
braskan. John L. Webster. he is said to
have many loyal supporters.
General Henderson is a native of
Ohio. and that makes his candidacy ell
the more formidable; he is from Canton.
He was a warm personal friend of Pres
ident Mckinley and served in the civil
war as member of the Canton Zouavas
Before the close of the war he organ
lied a company in which he was made
first lieutenant. He became colonel OF
the Nineteenth Ohio Infantry, and was
brevetted a brigadier general before his
retirement, in 1865, because of a severe
wound.
Since 1869 General Henderson has been
resident of Omaha. He served six
years as city attorney of Omaha, and
was elected United States Senator in
1863. He served for two terms and
declined a third nomination. In 1895 he
was president of the American Bar AS
ISOLATION.
General Henderson is now general So
icitor of the Burlington Railway, and
has been quoted as saying he is per-
manently out of politics. but his Ne
braska supporters are confident he is
willing to accept the second place on the
Republican ticket, and are active in his
support.

SHAW TELLS MINERS
ABOUT PROSPERITY
Says It's Due Not to One Industry,
But to All.

DEADWoOD. s. D., Sept. 9.-Secretary
Shaw was the chief speaker at the
American Mining Congress, which got
down to the business OF the sixth an
nual session yesterday. Nearly 500 dele
gates and others interested in the min
ing industry were seated in the rink
when the meeting was called.
Secretary Shaw was given a warm re-
eeption when he arose to speak. He
said:
1T is an error TO rate the Importance
OF our many industries according to
their relative productiveness. Our fac
tories and workshops produced s13 ,OOO.-
100000 gross in 1900. agriculture s4,-
900, 600; forestry $4,000, 900 900 and
mines $1,000, 600 900. about equally di-
vided between metallic and nonmetallic
products.
Yet il must occur to all that manu-
facture-apparently our greatest wealth
producing industry-is dependent upon
iron. copper, lead. zinc. and other
metals. and equally upon coal and other
nonmetallic minerals. Our manufactur-
ing interests would dwindle into Insig-
cial, Industrial. and financial supremacy
is, therefore, not dependent upon any
one fact, or interest. or condition, but
upon all combined.
"A peoples prosperity is not meas
ured by its capacity TO produce more
than by its capacity to consume. and
this capacity to consume is in turn de-
pendent upon the earning capacity of
the individual. and the earning capacity
OF the individual is again dependent
upon native and acquired ability. So il
America be great. it is because God in
his wisdom stored the mountains with
the richest minerals. overlaid the yal-
leys with a most fertile soil. and then
gave it to people competent, In some
slight degree at least, to improve their
opportunities ."

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-John Pierpont

1t requires only a glance at the formal
complaint of Morgan, the yachtsman. to
understand that he means TO make Nor

complaint not only bears the signature
OF j. Pierpont Morgan. but was drawn
up by Mr. Morgan himself.
