DETECTIVES RETURN HOME.
Reasons for Detectives Belief That
Dorsey Foultz Is Alive

Detectives Muller and Tyser and Private
Detective Peterborough, colored, who
went to Camden, N. j., to interview a man
supposed to be Dorsey Foultz, returned
home late yesterday afternoon. The sus-
pect was found in hospital suffering from
bullet wound of the wrist, but was not
Dorsey FOultZ. 1t Is alleged that he shot
himself by mistake. The bullet, 1t is
charged, was intended for a woman. The
man gave his name as Foultz without the
Dorsey, and a resident of Camden notified
the police here. believing the patient was
the man wanted
Just one month before Dorsey killed
Charles Robinson he arrested by
peterborough, who was then a special
policeman. The prisoners conduct was
such that assistance had to be called and
Detective Trumbo, who was then second
precinct policeman, responded to the spe-
cial policemans summons. Dorsey APP
peared in court the next morning and adj
mitted his guilt. He paid the penalty and
was released.
When peterborough reached Camden
he at once decided that the wounded man
was not Dorsey. 1t turned out that he was
acquainted with the man, who formerly
lived in Virginia and who has friends IN
this city. 1t is the belief of many men,
bers of the police force that Dorsey Foultz
is no longer in the land of the living, but
the colored detective. who has spent SO
much time upon the case, is of the contrary
opinion. Dorsey, he says, is member of
a secret organization. and the members,
he is satisfied, have assisted him. Brock
enborough tells of conversation he had
with near relative of Foultz only short
time ago, when the latter recalled incidents
Of the case which occurred shortly after
the alleged murder was committed Brock

A DESERTED WIFE
Makes Charges Against n. D. Reed or
RI. c. Mills, at Chicago.

Chicago, May 1.-THE Tribune says:
A deserted wife, Wednesday night, con
fronted Harold d. Reed who is accused
by Miss Laura Stickler of Turing her

He is Harold c. Mills" said the wife.

pect that he is a bigamist, and | want
him tried on that charge"

WHITE BREAD.
Another Proof in the Controversy.

Under certain conditions white bread.
potatoes and all starchy food fails to
digest and bowel troubles and appen-
dicitis are likely to follow unless the
food is changed.
After consulting five physicians the
last three of whom declared that an
operation for appendicitis was the oIf}
way to save her life, a young lady of
Bloomington, Ind, recovered her health
entirely with no other aid than Grape
Nuts, the scientific predigested cereal
food.
She says: Three years ago | had an
attack of what my family physician
pronounced congestion of the bowels
and stomach.
"Ilc treated me for some time but
continued to grow weaker, constantly
subject to the same attacks. l was
compelled to give up my studies at COL
lego. In the meantime l consulted an
other physician. Finally l went to Il
specialist who pronounced it catarrh
of the stomach and acute appendicitis.
l was under his care for about three
weeks when | had another attack and
my parents called other physicians who
claimed that nothing but the removal
of the appendix would save my life.
My parents refused to permit this
and | was left total wreck, weak ner-
vous, unable to eat. 1t was then that
they tried Grape Nuts, feeding me a
teaspoonful three times a day. Upon
this food alone | improved from the
start the great wonder of my family
For three months | ate nothing but
Grape Nuts ana drank beef tea. Since
that time (Which was more than a Year
ago. l have not had the slightest IT,
ness and l am now strong and able to
study again. l know that l owe my
restored health to Grape Nuts and
now eat is constantly" Name fur
nished by Postum Co., Battle Creek,

In this case as in most cases of APP
pendiCitis the trouble started with in
Illumination OF the bowels resulting
that We're undigested in the stomach
and went into the intestines in an I'M
digested condition, fermenting there
and starting disease. Too much white
bread will do this. Relief and final
cure came when the improper food
was left off and Grape-Nuts, Gin which
the. starches have been transformed in
TO grape sugar by predigesting pro-
Cess), was used. Although all of
the rebuilding elements are there in
Grape-Nuts the food is so pure that
the most delicate stomach relishes and
digests it.

BERTHS TOO HOT.
Passengers Leave Burning
Sleeping Car in NightcIothes.
Sixteen Men and Four Women Hur-
ried from Temporary Home.
Woman Injured-Man Nearly Suffo-
cated-Several Lose Valuables,

New Haven. Conn, May 14.-Passen-
gers, including 16 men and four women
had to flee in their night clothing, early
Thursday, from burning sleeping car
at the Union station. The car was
near the rear end of the N. Y, N. H. &
Fl. Railroad train which left New York
al II o'clock Wednesday night for Bos
ton by way of Springfield. When the
train reached here at l o'clock sleeping
car No. 2032 was connected with pipe
which supplied the cars with gas and
the gas supply was turned on. Imme-
diately afterwards slight explosion
was heard. Flames burst out and the
car filed with smoke.
The passengers dazed with sleep and
half blinded by the smoke made a rush
for the doors. A woman was knocked
down and suffered Il slight injury to
her back and right arm, but said she
was not seriously hurt. An old gentle
man who had difficulty in getting out
of his berth close to the point where the
fire started was nearly suffOcated but
was finally assisted from the car and
seemed to be all right after he reached
the open air.
ne IlGelnen WITH the ana Oh CIelll-
cal engine and a stream of water put
out the blaze and then begun a hunt
for the passengers valuables.
B. d. Kaplan of 227 East 6Sth street
New York, said he left about 100000 in
money and securities in the car. After
q search a wet wallet containing the
missing securities was found and Mr.
Kaplan then said he had recovered
everything except some money which
was burned up in his clothes. Others
who said they had lost money or valu-
ables were f. B. Clark, New York; s.
G. Beals of SO Broadway, New York;
Herbert Langford, Plainfield, n. j.. and
A. Freshil Chicago. 1t is believed,
however. that when a more careful
search of the car is made most of the
missing money and articles will be
found. The handbags and clothing of
most of the passengers were soaked. =
AS quickly as possible the railroad
officials looked after the comfort of the
lightly clad passengers, the women be-
ing taken to hotel and the men pro-
Vided with oVeralls and shoes. Some of
the passengers remained here all night
While others continued their journey to

Established in Price of Cotton

1918 and Spot l1,60.
New Orleans Still More Excited, Prices

that it was doubtful if any season i'll

was the price made by July in the

May made Il new record of Hap, and
spot cotton was quoted at 11.60. These
prices We're the highest in II or 13
years and added to this the transact

At times the scene on the floor was
one of greatest disorder and the rush
of the covering demand threw the pit
into Il. demoralized condition.
At the opening of the market trading
was by far the most active of the sea-
son.
About midday the market quoted
down considerably and brokers had
their first breathing spell. But this did
not last long and trading soon became
active again. July sold from 1899 to
1881 and then jumped to 1892. Au-
gust sold from 1867 to 1880 and back
to 1866. Fluctuations were frequent
and so extensive that the pit was kept
in a feverish condition throughout the
entire day. The big operators traded
heavily at times and added to the ex-
