SAM'L PARKS
IS JUBILANI
His Delegates Are Seated in the
Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers Convention.

Kansas City, Mo-. Sept 24.-Wten the
International Association Of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers resumed work to-
day in annual convention it was again be-
hind closed doors. Before the convention
met, neither President Buchanan nor
Samuel Parks would talk definitely Of to-
days program. Nothing but routine mat
tiers would, they asserted, be considered.
Delegate Parks was jubilant over the
fact that his delegation had been seated
but he refused to intimate what attitude
he would take in the proceedings now that
he had secured the upper hand. Robert
Needing president OF union No. 2 Of New
York, who supported President Buchanan
in suspending that local, would be ex-
PEELED, he said, but this would not be done
in the convention, but by the union ITSELF
after the delegates had returned east.
President Buchanan still refused to say
what bearing the Parks matter would
have on his candidacy He would not
would be a candidate. The election will
not be held to-day and probably not this
week.
At the forming session to-day the New
York delegation entire was formally seat
ed, but not without final fight on Jo-
seph A. Mulaney, Parks follower, and
a heated discussion ensued.
;sWe will let the convention fight it out
them Selves said Parks, and he volun-
tarily left the hail. followed by his asso-
ciates.
After the matter had been threshed over
thoroly, the entire New York delegation,
ney is member Of Union No. 46 Of New
York city and a. particular friend of Parks
His being seated made the victory of the
Parks crowd complete.

Shot Fired by Grams, a Blue Earth
County Farmer, Killed His
Wife Instantly.
He Had Abused Her for Years and
She Had Applied for a
Divorce.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The journal.
Mankato, Mimi, Sept. 24.-Emil Grams,
a farmer residing ten miles east of Man
kato, shot and instantly killed his wife
early this morning. He admits the muir
der and says he expects to hang for it.
He was placed in custody at Eagle Lake
and then brought to this city.
Grams is about SO and well-to-do. Both
he and his wife had been married be-
fore and had children by previous con-
sorts. Their own immediate family con-
sists of four children. They have had
trouble for years, and recently Mrs.
Grams started another suit, her third, for
divorce and division Of the property.
Husband and wife had parted. and Mrs.
Grams was making her home with son
by her former marriage who lives in the
vicinity.
The Grams were to come to Mankato
to-day to arrange settlement. Early in
the morning Grams arose and taking a
shotgun went to the place where his wife
was stopping and asked her to come upon
the porch. She went outside, but told him
she wanted nothing more to do with him.
Grams then turned the shotgun upon her,
and shot her at close range In the neck.
She fell upon the porch and expired almost
instantly.
Grams then returned to his own home
and told his nephew what he had done.
He loaded his gun and said he would shoot
himself. The nephew persuaded him to
give himself up and the two set out for
Eagle Lake, where Grams was turned
over to an officer, and later brought to
this city
Ordinarily he Is not quarrelsome, but,
under the influence Of drink, has been ac-
customed to abuse his wife. He had been
drinking before the murder. The neigh
bors regard the affair as a deliberate
murder and are highly incensed Mrs.
Grams was greatly esteemed In the COM
munity.

THE 500 men
ARE DESTITUTE.
Checks Given by Superior Co. Are
Without Value and Many
Families Are Hungry.

sault ste Marie, Mich, Sept. 24.-Ths
situation In the Canadian 500, which is
suffering most from the shut down Of the
Consolidated Lake Superior companys
plants, Is to-day the worst since the clos
Ing Of the works. Added to the general
state Of restitution Of the discharged en-
ployes, comes the announcement to-day
that the street car men wills strike next
Monday unless they receive their pay in
full The officials had previously stated
that the pay day which had been an.
nounced for Monday had been declared of.
The men on the street cars in the Amer
lean 500 also are growing as are those
on the St. Mary's river between the two
Soos.
The requests for aid from the town are
increasing. Many of them come from
men who have pay checks in their pos
session, which they cannot cash. Some
of the discharged employees are getting
little money by selling their checks for
half their value but there are not many
purchasers even at that discount. No
body will give any credit.
The weather Is cold and 1t is feared that
unless there is some relief soon there will
be much suffering. One OF the cases that
came to light yesterday was that of q
man named Thompson, who with a check
for months pay that he could not cash.
was forced to apply to the authorities for
food for his family that was starving.

.SWINDLERS
ny. ARE CAUGHT
Two Men Arrested by Postofice In
spectors Were Experts in
..,... Their Line.
Are Said to Have Cleaned Up $780,
I. 900 in the Past Eleven
Months.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-More than $3.50, 00C
stolen, business houses in every part of
the United States victimized, a bank Gre
ated. waiter risen from poverty to afflu-
ence, and an ex-conviot again placed be-
hind the bars-these are features in the
meteoric career Of at least of two
men now under arrest in Chicago
Postoffice inspectors made the captures.
and Colonel James E. Stuart terms the
case 1.-The cleverest swindle ever unearthed
in the west" Julius M. Nilsson, known
also by a dozen other names, and Arthur
J. Herbst, said to have many aliases, are
the prisoners. Nilsson has confessed, but
Herbst will not admit that he had any
part in the big swindle. -
Postoflce Inspector A. e. Germer has
complaints against the two men from
nearly 200 individuals and corporations
who have lost amounts ranging from s25
TO $1,000. All have been victimized since
June 20, when Nilsson opened an office
in Chicago.
In previous operations, under different
names. the men are alleged to have Sc
cured at least $3.50, 900 in the last eleven
months. This was the mode of procedure
according to the inspectors.
Nilsson and Herbst would go to city
and open an office, engaging ostensibly In
retailing Of metal ware, novelties, ma
chinery or anything which they could Sc
cure on credit
some company well known In the business
world, and in ordering goods to the value
OF thousands of dollars, would give COM
merGial agency references.
After the articles had been received
the bogus company would transfer the
consignments to warehouse and Their
ship them to New York, where they were
disposed Of thru a fence" which has
baffed the inspectors for months. Wher
suspicion was aroused the men would flee
to another city.
One Of the boldest moves Of the two
men Is said to have been to establish a
bank to give financial strength to their
enterprises" One such concern, called
1.-THE Cook County Bank Of Trade and
Commerce" is alleged to have existed or
paper only.
Nilsson worked for several years as q
walter and in 1900 owned a restaurant ir
Chicago. He sold his place and toured
Europe. Then he returned to Boston an6
was sentenced there to one year in prison
for shoplifting.

Portland. Ore, Sept. 24.-The Atlantic
express on the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton line was held up by four masked
men. p miles east Of this city. One of
the robbers was shot and killed by Ex-
press Messenger Fred Korner and Engi-
neer Oil Barrett was seriously wounded
by the same bullet.
After the shooting the robbers fled
without securing any booty. Two Of the
highwaymen boarded the train at Trout
dale. station 10 miles east Of here.
After the train got under way they
crawled over the tender and covering the
engineer and fireman with revolvers, told
them to stop at mile post p, which Is
near Corbett station. When the train
slowed up two more men appeared. TWO
of the robbers compelled the engineer to
leave the cab and accompany them to the
express car while the others watched the
fireman.
They Used Dynamite.
The men carried several sticks Of dy-
Mantle and when they came to the bag
gage car thinking it was the express car
threw a stick at the door. Express Mes
senger Korner heard the explosion and
Immediately secured his rifle and opened
fire. The bullet pierced the heart of one
of the robbers and went thru his body,
entering the left breast Of Engineer Bar
rett who had been ordered by the robber
to walk In front of him while approaching
the baggage car but who jumped behind
just before the express messenger fired.
The body of the dead robber was left
behind and the wounded engineer was
brought to this city. After the shooting the
other three robbers fed without securing
any booty.
Sheriff Story and four deputy sherifrs
who are seeking the bandits had small
hope Of capturing the robbers as the coun-
try both sides of the Columbia river

;a,osss, however, one Of the outlaws was
found near the scene badly wounded from
charge Of buckshot in the head. He was
placed on board the sheriff's special train
which returned to Portland. The bandit
said his name was Jim Connors and that
he was from Portland. but refused to tell
the names Of the other bandits or where
they went ..s - ~

SUTTON WILL BE
STATES WITNESS
Former Prominent Politician Will
Tell All He Knows About
Jury Bribing.
Has Confessed That He Conspired to
Defraud State in Cloth
ing Deal.

Now York Sun Special Service.
Lansing, Mich, Sept. 24.-It Is believed
that the alleged jury bribing in connec-
ton with the notorious military clothing
scandal cases is about to be cleared up:
Colonel Eli R. Sutton, who recently re-
turned from Mexico, while closeted with
Judge West and the prosecuting attorney
yesterday related everything within his
knowledge in regard to the alleged at
tempts at jury bribing in this county at
the time Of his trial.
At the conclusion of the interview Judge
West accepted Sutton's plea Of guilty of
conspiracy to defraud the state and SEN
fenced him to pay fine Of $4,000, which
is the amount paid by the other men i'm
plicated in the military supplies deal.
Sutton was former regent of the state
university and prominent in Michigan re-
publican politics during Governor Pin
gree's administration. He arrived here
from Sodus, N. T., accompanied by Pro-
lessor E. Curtis Of that place, who stood
ready to met any financial requirements
imposed by the court.
Story Of the Case.
Sutton's case is one of the strangest In
the history Of Michigan legal practice. He
was once acquitted Of the charge Of COM
plicity in the conspiracy, after a sensa-
tional trial. Later, when General White
made complete confession Of the manner
in which the frauds were o perpetrated
Sutton was indicted for perjury and fled
to Mexico. Sutton's return was the re-
suit of an arrangement to nolle PROSE- the
perjury charge against him, let him plead
guilty to the charge Of conspiracy OF
which he was once acquitted, and, in re-
turn, it is stated, turn states evidence
in cases to be brought against the alleged
jury bribers.
It was necessary to comemnce a new
case against him on the old charge. A
new complaint was made and he was ar
raigned before Police Judge Roe yesterday
afternoon, waived examination and went
at once to the circuit court where he
pleaded guilty. Sutton said he would
waive his rights under the jury's verdict
Of not guilty. When he was asked If that
verdict was obtained thru fraud he said
there was fraud in the case and that 1t
might have Influenced the verdict The
private conference with the court fol-
lowed.

| Special to The Journal.
| Boise, Idaho, Sept. 24.-Boise has sui
! eide club fully organized and ready for

| and has already transacted some is shown
by the fact that at least three Of its mem
bers have passed off, by the suicide
route within a period of as many months.
The fact of the existence Of the organi-
zation became known to the police during
the investigation into the death Of Grace
Ashton, it's latest victim. She went by
| the morphine route on her third attempt,
both Of the previous attempts having been
frustrated thru seasonable discovery by
friends.
During this investigation 1t was dis
covered that another young woman, a
friend of Miss Ashton. had lately attemp-
ted suicide by taking antisepticide, but
had recovered, and it was thru her that
the existence of the club was made
! konwn.
| The club seems to be regularly organ

young women. and holding meetings at
regular intervals. It transpired that at
each meeting a new victim is chosen by

This statement, is made positively In a
dictated interview given out this morn
ing. The governor has been considerably
annoyed by canards spread by his en-
emies in the republican party. The last
straw was an editorial in the Crookston
Times, declaring that the third term talk
was just blind. and that the governor
was really candidate for the senate.
This was referred to in T Q; J o n a
yesterday and it provoked the governor
to break his silence.
The statement does not say whether or
not the governor will be candidate for
reelection, but it settles and for all
the use Of *his name in connection with
the senatorship. The governor says:
1T is only because I am interested In
party harmony and party success that
deem 1t advisable to say anything in re-
gard to the statement in T h 9 o u n g.
copied from a Crookston paper. The mat
ter is repetition Of what has appeared in
other papers In different portions Of the
state.

IT believe in the selection Of United
States senators by popular vote Of the
people. Under our constitution this Is out
Of the question, so the next best thing is
to have Endorsements made by our state
convention. Senator Clapp was so in
dorsed. I propose to stand by the action
of that convention. Senator Clapp not
only has the party Endorsement, but he is
an able and efficient senator and richly
deserves reelection. He will, in my
Judgment, be renominated and reelected
by a unanimous party vote. We have two
first class senators, and we would do well
to retain them as long as they desire 20
serve. I predict that the man who would
attempt to defeat either of them would
be the most lonely man in Minnesota
