VICTIMS OF FUGITIVE HERMAN.
Many Persons In Milwaukee Lot h sssry
Plight.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, April ie.-Because
she found herself a victim Of Henry Her
mans swindle and had lost 81. 400 which she
gave him for investment Mrs. Margaret
McFadden tried to end her life yester-
day by turning on the gas in her little store
Nelghbors found the unconscious woman
and she was removed to the Emergency
Hospital, where it believed she viii re-
cover. She says that she has lost all she
possessed and that there Is nothing for
her to live for.
Mrs. McFadden's case il only one Of the
many that are daily coming to light. The
panic among the creditors Of Herman
grows as the extent Of his frauds are COM
ing to light. His Office 10 besieged with
crying women, while at the court house
anxious creditors wait for the Register Of
cages they hold from Herman. Most Of
them have been found to be fraudulent and
how the defaulter managed to work so sue
cessfully for years without being caught
is one Of the mysteries Of his swindle.
Another gross fraud came to light Yes.
how he had been defrauded out Of $4,000
He gave Herman $4,000 to invest and had
found that OF this amount he u secured
for only $4,000.
On one occasion he gave Herman e 900,
and In return took .Herman's note for that
sum. The note was supposed to be secured
by a first mortgage, but now that an at
torney has examined the security, II has
been found that the mortgage is nothing
less than an old and expired fre-insurance
policy. II is said that this same trick was
played on many creditors. Some Of the
creditors are going into court tomorrow
morning to apply for receiver, but there
will be no property to meet the 5000, 600
shortage which he left behind. The last
heard Of Herman was on Friday, when he
sailed from New Orleans for Honduras.

New HAVEN, April Ie.--Ths list Of aod-
dents which have occurred on the New
York and New Haven road during the past
ax weeks Ia said. among the engineers,
10 be the result Of hoodoo which gray
and white owl has cast over the system.
Whenever there has been an accident
recently the owl has been seen by the engi-
neer or fireman several hours before the
casualty.
Engineer Harry Chapman OF this c'y.
who was killed on the engine which ran into
and --recked passe ger train In Water
bury. on March 81, is said to have seen the
owl on the night preceding the accident.
Three others were injured and one killed
In that catastrophe
The owl Is said to have appeared TO engi-
neers and trainmen several times during
the past week. which has been one Of fatali-
ties on the system. On Thursday the express
train for New York which leaves here at
$40 A. NJ killed a woman and a man on
the trip there and back. On the follow
ing morning q woman was killed by this
same train on the down trip. The number
thirteen. as well a. the owl, was thought by
the superstitious to have had something
to do with these accidents, as the figures
Of the number on the engine added together
make thir cen, and the number OF the
train was 27 which also makes thirteen.
George Pennis, q brakeman on this trnin,
fell from a car near Waterbury this week
and was killed. He Is said to have told
about seeing the owl shortly before his
fatal fall. On Thursday and Friday the
owl was very much In evidence. On Fri
day Conductor George H. Whipple OF the
Federal express was killed at Wexford
Junction on the Shore line, and the same
day Mrs. Margaret j. Lalxin Of Cohasset,
Mass. one Of the women station agents In
the roads employ. was killed by a train.
In Waterford the same day Andrew Lang
was run down by freight train and died Of
his injuries.
The feeling among many Of the employ
ees OF the New Haven line Ia OF supersti-
tious apprehension leet they see a gray
and white owl. A few Of the employees
have ventured a shot at what they took
to be the bird. but as yet no one can lay
claim to having hit It. 1t was eaid on FRI
day night that trainmen on the Naugatuck
di vision late in the afternoon had seen
and heard the bird, and there was q disin-
clination on the part of men on that divis-
lon to run any trains on that division last
night

MRS. EITzsIMMONSs FUNERAL.
Old Feuds ~ Bob Probably Ended by HIS
Wne's Death.

Tho funeral services Of Mrs. Rose Fitz-
simmons, the wife Of Bob Fitzsimmons,
the pugilist and former champion Of the
world, were held yesterday afternoon at
o'clock In Rose villa, Bay Parkway and
Cropsey avenue. Bensonhurst. The Rev.
Charlee z. Benedict. pastor Of st. James
Methodist Episcopal Church Of Benson
hurst, conducted the services The choir
Of the church sang three hymns and the
clergyman told Of the domestic life OF Mrs.
Fitzsimmons and her great love for her
husband and children, and Of the many
instances where the public became familiar
with her mode OF life by the public acts Of
devotion both to her husband while active
In his pugilistic career and to the children
during the time she lived in Bensonhurst.
Among those present were large dele

lis ms and large number OF people from
the theetri world were also present.
Former Champion j mes j.. Corbett and
many others who were unable to attend
sent telegra ms OF coincidence.
Clark @. Ball and his wife. sister Of
Mn. Fitzsimmons. M rtip Julian and his
wife. and other members OF the 4 mily
were In attendance 8 t the services. despite
the recent enlargement Of Bal and fitz-
simmons.
Ball and his wife arrived at the deathbed
Of Mrs. Fitzsimmons at $50 o'clock on the
morning OF her death. At that time all
animosity between Ball and the big ex-
champion was forgotten and the friendly
relations between the two men were once
more resumed. During his trip to obtain
oxygen for his dying wife Fitzsimmons
met Martin Julian, who had just re-
turned from California. The relations be-
tween the two men had been somewhat
strained ever since the Jetferies- Fitzsim-
mons fight at Coney Island. Al times peace
was patched up, but never lasted for any
length OF time. When Fitzsimmons met
his brother-in-law he told him that his
sister was dying and advised him to hurry
Immediately to the house.
During the hours between that OF the
return OF Fitzsimmons with the oxygen and
the death OF Mrs. Fitzsimmons at 0:15 on
Friday morning Julian and .Lanky Bob
held several conferences, and Julian did
everything In his power to assist his brother
in-law to Withstand the blow and consoled
him a. best he could after death ensued.
The reconciliation which took place at that
time appears to be more permanent than
any other that has occurred since their
serious falling out over five years ago.
The interment this morning viii be pri-
vate. The body will be sent to Kensico to
be placed beside that Of the mother Of Mrs
Fitxsimmons, who was buried several years
aRo.

dealt quickly and vigorously with one priest
In its communion who Is advocating ALI
ance with the Roman Catholic Church and
obedience to the Pope,
The board Of managers Of missions at
their meeting last Tuesday adopted this

tion and that the Bishop OF Toxic be. and
he Is hereby. requested TO deal with the matter
without delay.
This resolution Ii said to have been moved
by the Bishop Of Fond du Lac. the Nestor Of
the Catholic party In the Episcopal Church,
who spoke vigorously, in the meeting and
out Of 1t. against the views held by the Rev.
Mr.. Lloyd, and demanded that the Church
be no longer responsible for him.
Mr., Lloyd was missionary to Japan
under the board OF missions. There he was
made resident OF the standing committee
and president Of st. Paul's College, Toxic.
While In japan he wrote letter to The
Lamp, publication fssued from the monas-
terry OF the Order of the Atonement at Garri-
Observation-Disclosures. The letter contained
these statements:
Episcopacy alone. without a head. does
not lead to unity. ] have therefore learned
to turn 70 the See Of Peter, the consistent
witness to the unity Of Christs Church as

The resolution Of the board of missions
was cabled to Japan. and on Saturday Bishop
McKim sent word that the Rev. Mr.. Lloyd

The Rev DR.. J. Ross Stevenson preached
at the morning service in the Filth Avenue
Presbyterian Church yesterday on THE
Sabbath for Man. He said he did not
believe that Sunday should be observed
In a puritanical spirit or in the spirit of
continental Europe, but that the day should
be devoted to rest and recreation Of the
body, mind and soul, or In the manner
which Christ taught In his sermon. He
said:
Strange and omlnous stories have been cir
culated Of late Of the profanatio Of tho
Sabbath BY society In the capital Of our
country, We are told that Sunday Is becom-
nc the favorite dav there for social functions

and also to engage In automobiing. This
II not only true Of Washin Rtop, but also
obtains In our own city and In other large
cities. The people who reserve Sunday for
games and srorts are those who make religion
secondary to their worldly affairs. No Chris
tian can fight the battle Of the week without
allowing the guns to cool OF on Sunday II
