WENT TO HEAVEN IN AUTO.
Got n Message for Roosevelt There
and Wanted TO Deliver it He Said.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Oyster Bay, l.. l., n. Y, Sept. 90
A man who is regarded by the secret
service officers and by the authorities
of oyster Bay as a dangerous crank,
was apprehended here shortly before
noon to-day. He is j. E. Reeves. a
medium sized. roughly attired man
about forty years of age. He was
making his way to Sycamore Hill
when he was arrested. He told Off
Ger Tyree, who apprhended him, that
he wanted to see the President on i'm
portant business. Believing from the
mans manner that he was insane,
Officer Tyree took him before Justice
rankin for examination. To the JUS
tice Reeves said that six years ago
he died in a Jersey City hospital and
went to Heaven in an automobile.
While there he received an important
message for President Roosevelt,
which he was directed to deliver per-
sonally. He refused to say what the
nature of the message was as he de-
clared he could communicate to no.
body but the President. He declared
to the justice. however, that he had
written a book on his experiences in
Heaven, which he desired to have
published as he was satisfied millions
could be made out OF it. The Presi-
dent, he said. undoubtedly would
join with him in securing the publ
cation of the work and that was one
reason why he wished to have a talk
with him. Reeves had no weapons.

WhaIey Owes Over a Mil

HAS ALMOST NOTHING
Many of the Textile Mills for Which
He Raised Funds Are in South
Carolina. He Has Ninety
One Credi-
tors.
(By the Associated Press.)

Boston, Mass, Sept. 20.-Owing over
d million dollars, and with assets OF
$1,2C0, William B. Smith Whaley, the
financial supporter of several cotton
manufacturing enterprises in the
South, filed a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy in the United States court
today. Mr. Whaley was the senior
member of William Il. Smith Whaley
Company of this city, and is 4 resident
of Newton. For some time he has
been interested in raising FUNDS for
textile industries in the Southern
States, particularly in South Carolina,
which have not resulted favorably.
Mr.. Whaley's total liabilities are
$1,0S7,951 and the unsecured to $26,-
ia.
In his petition Mr.. Whaley states
that his only assets are personal prop
erty valued at $1,100 real estate
worth 500 and household goods
There are ninety-one creditors. The
individual claims range from $500, the
lowest, 10 $4,000, the highest.
Among the principal secured creditors
are Merchants National Bank New
York $175,094; The Draper Company,
Hopedale, Mass, 100000; Fules q

Olympic Cotton Mills, Columbia, S. c.
f. l.. Norton, Mr.. Whaley's counsel,
said tonight in regard to the petition:
while nominally it appears TO be a
large failure, it is not nearly so bad as
it looks. The obligations are distrib-
uted from New York to South Caro-
lima. Mr.. Whaley was interested simp-
~ in financing these Southern mills,
and in a measure, they have fallen
down."

FAIRBANKS WEIGHS "FIGGERs.'
And It's Evident That These Fair
banks Scales Are Not T'others.
(By the Associated Press. }

Baltimore, Sept. Ex-senator Chas.
w. Fairbanks was the chief speaker
at a Republican mass meeting held in
this city tonight, the event being the
formal opening of the Republican
campaign in Maryland In his speech
Senator Fairbanks declared that the
losses of Baltimore in the conflagration
Of this year were not so large as those
sustained by the city during the last
Democratic admin. stratiOn as a result
OF the temporary overthrow of Repub-
lican principles. He declared that dur
ing the Cleveland administration bust
ness in this and other large cities was
checked, pay rolls we're reduced and
the wage rate diminished. On the sub
ject OF protection he said:
1.-The Republican protective system
is an issue in the pending campaign.
The Republican party has declared
protection to be robbery" It's
triumph would be a direct and positive
blow to the protective system which
has so splendidly indicated itself.
What would the ultimate overthrow of
the protective system mean to Balti-
more and to the State of Maryland?
What would it mean to the vast in
dustrial establishments found through
out the State? What would it mean
to the vast capital invested in them?
What would it mean to the large army
of working men who are now enGaS-
ed at remuner2tiVe employment and
no walked in idleness during the last
Democratic administration?
'The overthrow of Republican poll
cies today must bring similar results
to these that followed their overthrow
in 1892. Strike down the protective
system today and we will eat the bread
Of reDentance tomorrow.

hottest generation. not merely a re-
united country: not merely the sense
of belonging TO nation which has

its most loyal sons can hardly venture
to anticipate it. but YOU left to them
also the memory of the way in which

when once the war was ended, turneJ
forthwith to the pursuits of peace and
showed themselves good citizens at

selves good soldiers at the front. In
any great crisis of war this nation
must rely mainly upon it's volunteer
soldiery, and the veterans of the Civil
War have left US forever the mode!

MILL BUYS RAW COTTON.
There is Some Talk of Settlement of
the Fail River Strike.
(By the Associated Press.)


Fall River, Mass, Sept. 20.-The
first intimation of q settlement of the
strike i'm the cotton mills in this city,
which began on July 25th came to-
day when it became known that one
of the manufacturers had bought a
large quantity of raw cotton to be
delivered the latter part Of October,
and that other manufacturers were
trying to place similar orders.
If is the general belief that any
settlement of the strike within the
next two or three weeks Will be in
favor of the operatives.
The cotton market is stronger. the
stock of manufactured goods is low,
there is continuous demand for
textiles and the finished stock will
command better prices, thus enabling
the manufacturers to operate the
factories without reducing the wages
of the employees. The strikers still
express their determination not to re-
turn to work under the wage reduc-
ton of 1914 per cent which was the
cause of the strike. The leaders OF
the strikers say that the only condl-
lions under which the operatives will
of the notices of the wage reduction,
which were posted in all the mills
affected by the strike.
There is little talk of a compromise.
Both sides realize that the strike so
far has been merely a skirmish and
that the crisis is vet to come. With
the approach of winter the strikers
will find it more difficult to earn
living outside the mills. and the man
ufacturers also will lose a large and
profitable amount of business unless
the mills can be operated. The strike
leaders claim that al propositions for
a conference or a compromise will
have to come from the manufacturers.

THEY LIE DOWN TO DIE.
Two Sisters Crushed by the Wheels of
2 Train.
(By the Associated Press.)

Bucyrus. Ohio, Sept. 20.-The
bodies of Mary and Lizzie Kehrer,
who lived alone on a small farm near
here were found to-day by section
men on the Ohio Central Railroad.
The women wrapped themselves in a
bed spread and lay down on the
track last night and were killed by a
passenger train. They had frequent
ly declared that they were tired of
the struggle for life and wanted to
die.
few years ago Mary contracted a
disease which had been pronounced
incurable. Since then she has brood
ed over her illness and her melan-
choIy was shared by her sister. Their
lives had been happy and useful up
TO that time. The question of COM
hitting suicide was often discussed
with neighbors who discouraged such
and end to life. The elder sister,
however, remained steadfast in her
determination to kill herself. and it
is believed that Lizzie soon began to
agree with her that such proceeding
was justifiable.
1t is believed they waited for nearly
three hours for q train to come along
and crush out their lives. The two
women laid their heads together on
the track. on the fireman's side of the
engine. evidently with the hope OF
eyading being seen by the engineer
