LETTER WRITER
Man Who Attempted to Ex-
tort Money From Rockefeller
and Other Financiers in Jail
CONFESSES HIS GUILT
Declares That His Efforts to
Brighten the MilliOnaires
Were Not Rewarded by Coin

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The source of
mysterious letters demanding large
sums of money, which for the last six
months have been received by men
high in the financial world Of New
York and Chicago was to-day traced
to Leo r. Brennan, a commercial art
ist of Chicago Brennan was arrested
as he was leaving the general post
office, where he had gone in answer to
a decoy letter. When confronted with
this evidence Brennan confessed to
having attempted to enforce a dozen
demands for sums of from $4,000 to
$4,000 and having threatened his in
tended victims with death should they
refuse to pay. In his confession Bren-
nan declared that all his attempts to
extort money had been futile, as he
had never received a dollar in answer
to the demands.

Brennan demanded money we're j. +.
Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, James
Stillman and Andrew Carnegie. or
each of these men he demanded $4,000
in his first letters and on receiving no
replies, it is said, reduced the amount
demanded to $25, ,O00 Among those In
Chicago on whom Brennan attempted
to levy tribute were Marshall Field, X.
T. Crane, j. Ogden Armour and g. F.

asked for more than $25, 900.

Seized by Utah Fuel Company
Employees, Imprisoned and
Then Sent Out of County
WILL APPEAL TO GOVERNOR
Despite Rough Treatment Ac-

tinue to Work Among Miners
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 24.-Louis
Roberti. organizer for the United Mine
Workers Of America. came here to-
night after a strenuous experience in
Carbon County, where a strike is on
against the Utah Fuel Company. On
Tuesday last Roberti held a meeting
at Scofield, and later boarded the train
for Cotton. Armed employees Of the
coal company arrested him on an al
legged warrant charging vagrancy,
marched him up the railroad track to
winter quarters, three miles away, and
held a hearing in the company's office
before a Justice Of the Peace who is
a bookkeeper for the company. The
Justice" discharged the prisoner, after
extracting Sc from him. He was then
turned over TO the company employees,
who. armed with rifles, forced him to
90 10 a company clearinghouse, where
he was kept a prisoner all night under
guard. This morning he was put aboard
a train and sternly warned to leave
the county and -over return. Roberti
will appeal to the Governor for pro-
lection in an effort TO return to the
scene Of the strike.
This was one of several instances Oh
a similar character. Demolli, the Ital-
ian organizer for the mine workers,
was twice arrested and railroaded out
Of Carbon County, it being made so
unpleasant for him that he was hnally
forced to leave the State, his work De-
ing talon up by Roberti.
The strikers are pitching tents and
preparing Sor a long siege The com
panv is operating the mines at re-
duced output with non-union. recruits
largely obtained with the help of the
Mormon church.
Roberti, with Attorneys Edler ano
Fowler. representing the striking coal
miners. have arranged for an audience
with Governor Wells to be held on
Saturday. They will protest against
what they term the farcical administra-
ton Of justice in Carbon County.
Roberti calls his treatment by the
armed employees of the fuel company
kidnapping and declares that he will
bring both criminal and civil proceed
ings against his abductors.

characters were seen by the police,

The "Left-Handed."

One of the gravest objections to
training child to be left-handed (as
recommended in this months Paidolo-
gist) is the certainty that it will be
nicknamed from its popularity, es-
pecially during the early years of it's
life. Most counties in this country
have their idiomatic expressions to
denote left-handedness and. they are
often prefixed to the unfortunate left
handed child's name. In London the
term is kack-handed, the word being
also equivalent to awkward; in Ian
cashire it is k-pawed; in Yorkshire,
gaIlock- or gawk- handed. an express
sion dating back to at least the seven
teenth century. In Derbyshire are
used the terms keg-handed, cork
handed; while in Teesdale district
cuddy-handed is common; and in Not
tingham, wallet-handed. In the south
of England special terms to donate
left-handedness are also found In
Dorset it is scrane-handed. In Scot
land we find gawkhanded and in the
west cawry-handed. In Ireland left
handed man is called a kithogue. Not
many years ago Tim Healy used this
word in a speech in East Wicklow, in
which he said that Mr.. O'Kelly could
fight with his left hand and had al
ready given his opponent some "kith-
ogues'' that would spoil his political
beauty during the contest.-London

SENATOR CLAY's ATTITUDE.
Will Support Canal Treaty If Certain
Facts Are Presented.

MARIETTA, Ga. Dec. 24.-In an
interview to-day regarding the Pan
anna canal treaty United States Sen
ator Clay, speaking of the balloting
on the Panama treaty now before
Congress, said that he was opposed
to making it a party question; but,
first of all, he desired all facts con-
corning the Panama secession to be
made public.
IF the recent developments in the
isthmus concerning the relations Of
Panama and Colombia came as the
result of certain conditions for which
the United States is not responsible, >"
said Senator C4ay,-''sueh facts would
justify me in voting for the ratifica-
ton Of the Panama treaty. If we fail
to secure the necessary land by way
of the Panama route it becomes the
sworn duty of the President to pro-
ceed at once to construct the canal
by way of the Nicaragua route. If
the law is administered the canal can
not possibly fail"

A WONDERFUL INSECT
DISCOVERED IN CUBA
Ffrefy Which Does Away With
the Need of Artificial
Light

Have you ever heard Of the cucujO2
If you are one of those unfortunates
who are in the habit of grumbling at
gas bills you will wish that the place
was swarming with cucujos, so that
the gas companies might be circum-
vented. The cucujo is the srefy of
the tropics, and it is the most brilliant
of the whole tribe of Hght-gtving in
sects or animals. Thirty-eight of them
yield one candle power.
Photographs have been printed by
two-minute exposure of bromide plates
to their Illumination People in Cuba
cOnf1ne them in paper lanterns for go
ing about the country at night or for
indoor lighting. Sometimes they at
tach one of the insects to each foot
for travelling in the dark to serve as
guide to the path; also, they use them
as ornaments for the dress and hair.
Cucujos are beetles beginning life
as grubs. Skipjacks. or springtails.
they are sometimes called, because
when placed on their backs they jump
over with a clicking sound.
A small species of the same family is
found in Florida and Texas They have
two luminous spots on the. thorAx and
another on the abdomen. Damp even
ings are most favorable to the light
giving. the object Of which is presum-
ably to attract a mate. The young
larvae feed largely on snaiis. to which
their bite is poicOnoUs. The luminous
organs are developed before the insects
leave the eggs.
Now, a theory formerly held was that
these ffrehies stored up light IN the
daytime for emission at night, as is
done by the Sc lied luminous paint
of calcium sulphide. But it was found
that they shone as brightly as ever
after being confined for ten days In
darkness. Some that were carried from
Cuba TO Havre in the pitch-black hold
of a. vessel were brilliant on their ar
rival.
A more striking disproOf, however.
was afforded by a batch Of larvae
hatched in the dark from eggs laid in
the dark in piece Of rotten wood, the
young insects being kept in darkness
for the first six months Of their lives
They shone as brilliantly as any OF the
other frehies.-Philadelph Record.
