FREDERICK, WERTHETMER
DIES SUDDENLY Y

Frederick Wertheimer, propri-
etor of the Fair store, was taken
suddenly i'll at his place of busi-
ness Saturday evening about 4 30
o'clock, and died a few hours
later. When first taken I'LL he
was sitting in a chair, from which
he fell to the floor in an uncon-
scious. condition. Medical aid
was quickly summoned, and he
was removed to the Hotel Mer-
Ger. However, medical skill
proved of no avail, and the pa
tient expired at IL As without re-
gaining consciousness. The de4

Decoration Day was aprpopri-
ately observed in this city as
elsewhere in the cities throughout
the country. The inclement
weather interfered to a degree
with the exercises, but aside from
this there was nothing to mar the
sacred occasion. The program
previously arranged by the old
veterans of the G.. A. R. and
other orders was carried out in
detail. Gray and feeble soldiers
in blue marched to Oakwood Gem
etery today, bearing punches of
fragrant flowers and little fiutter-
ing flags to do honor to their COM
rades who sleep in eternity. The
parade was a creditable one, and

The body of William Odell
Fouts was found floating in the
Ohio river Saturday afternoon at
a point two miles south of this
city. He disappeared from his
house boat in which he lived
Tuesday night, and from the fact
that when the body was taken
from the water an old axe was
fastened about his neck with
wire, and also a brick found in
the bosom of his shirt, made it
quite evident that he had COM
mitted suicide. Deceased came
to this city from McConnellsville,
O., about seven years ago to work
for the Carter Oil company, and
has held different positions with
this corporation ever since. At
the time Of his death he was en-
gineer at the boiler works.
He was well liked by the COM
pany, as well as by all his asso-
ciates. He was about 90 years Of
age and was a member OF the l.
O. O. F. order of McConnellsville.
Mr.. Fouts was quite an intelli-
gent man and previous to locat-

ing in this city was postmaster
of McConnellsville. He was also
member of the Board of Edu-
cation in the Ohio town. He lost
his wife about eight years ago,
and this, it is said, so weighed up
on his mind that he became de-
mented. Only a week ago last
Saturday he remarked to one of
his fellow workmen that he had
nothing to live for, and that he
would not be here much longer.
He is survived by two daugh-
ters and a son, the latter two re-
siding at McConnellsville, and
the other daughter is a resident of
Akron, o. The daughter at Ak
ron is the wife of a prominent at
torney.
The remains were taken on
board the LOrena Sunday after
noon to his former home at Nc
Connellsville for interment. The
body was accompanied by Homer
Dudley, Bert Keller and j. H.
Dustman, employees of the Carter
Oil company and members of the

DEATHDED TOO LATE
Fred WaIIin Expires 10 Minutes
Before His Wife and
Children Arrive.

While his wife and two little daugh-
tiers, hurriedly summoned, were trying to
reach his bedside yesterday, Fred Wal
lin, Great Northern car checker, died
at the city hospital, his wife arriving just
ten minutes too late.
Wallin, who was thirty-five years of
age, had been suffering from cancer Of
the stomach for some time, and, although
his recovery was not looked for, the
physicians expected him to live at least
a week longer.
Yesterday afternoon d sinking spell set
in and at o'clock word was sent to his
wife of his approaching end. A physician
from the hospital took a carriage and
drove to the home at 2025 Third steet
north, the wife having been in ill health
for some time
With the sobbing wife and two little
girls, three and five years old, the car
riage was driven rapidly to the hospital
and arrived at $40 o'clock last evening
only to find that the husband and father
had passed away on the stroke of 6.
The little ones cried piteously as they
gazed on the dead face of papa" and
the hospital attendants were forced to
turn away at the sight of the three low
ing ones who had come just ten minutes
too late.
Besides his wife, Wallin leave five chill
dren.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 15.-The
arrest in this city a few days ago Of
Oscar Berkland, who since last Au-
gust has been a fugitive from justice,
and his surrender to the authorities Of
Lyon county, Iowa, promises to result
in sensational trials. Berkland was
wanted by the Lyon county authorities
on the charge Of severely beating and
injuring Rasmus Hagen, a farmer
living near Klondike, Iowa, and as
saulting Haggen's wife. This was on
Aug. 20 last. Berkland disappeared
and no trace of him was found until
his arrest in this city last week
Dec. 10 last Mrs. Hagen instituted
civil action in the Rock county
(Minn.) courts against Berkland to re-
cover $4,000 damages for the alleged
assault upon her.. Berlkland will fight
the case. He is a minor and inherited
from his father a half section of valu-
able land situated half a mile from
Hills, Mimi. He has other property
and is worth over $4,000. Berkland
has influential friends and relatives
who will do their utmost to clear him.

JAPANESE REFUSE
HELP FROM OUTSIDE
Only Japs May Fight the Russians
Military Activity at High Tide.

TOXIC, Feb. 10. = Goro Takahira,
Japanese minister at Washington, has
officially advised his government that
he is receiving numerous offers of large
contributions to the war fund from
Americans, and requests instructions
as to the policy of the government in
this regard. 1t is thought probable
that japan will refuse to. accept this
proffered aid, while stating that the
government is deeply gratif1ed at this
and other expressions of American
sympathy.
The cabinet will consider the ques-
ton and formally instruct Minister
Takahira shortly. Many applications
for permission to enlist in the japanese
army and navy are coming from vari-
Gus parts of the world. Some of those
anxious to fight for Japan have applied
personally to the military authorities at
Toxic. One is a Turkish officer. All of
these applications have been firmly re-
fused. No foreigners will be allowed
to participate in the military or naval

tors.
AT a meeting of bankers, newspaper
proprietors and commercial men in.
Toxic today, 1t was resolved to support
the government irrespective of party
lines, so as to prevent domestic affairs
from distracting the nation from the
prosecution of the war. Those at the
meeting approved the proposed plan of
curtailing the domestic administrative
expenses and diverting the amount thus
saved to the war fund. It was decided
to support the army and navy heartily
and also to devise a plan for the relief
of disabled soldiers and sailors. The
meeting also agreed to send letter of
congratulation to Vice Admiral Togo.
No further news of the Russian Via
livestock squadron has been received
here. 1t is thought to have returned to
Vladivostock in preference to risking a
fight, or exhausing its fuel.
Enormous military activity continues,
but the government carefully concealS

every moment of delay enables the
Russians to become better prepared for
the conflict, the japanese apparently
are unconcerned and confident. They
fully realize that the limited capacity
of the trans Siberian railway, the dis
lance of the Russians from their base
of supplies and the lack of communica-
ton by sea sets limitations on the pro-
posed accomplishments of Russia in
Manchuria and Siberia. They feel that
no danger attaches in that quarter and
are awaiting the completion of the Jap
anese naval programme.

FRENCH SOCIALIST
ATTACKS ALLIANCE
Jaures, Leader, Advises That France
Cut Loose From Russia.

PARIS, Feb. I'm. Jaures, leader
of the Socialist party, which holds the
balance of power in parliament until
recently vice president of the cham
Der, has made a declaration contem-
plating the immediate denunciation of
the Franco-Russian alliance, which has
attracted a great deal of attention in
diplomatic circles. The declaration was
made a st. Etienne, where the Social
list congress is sitting. Jaures said:
Elapsed years, past events andaex-
perience have demonstrated that Ger
many, from which aggression was to
be expected, does not wish for war. Ex-
perience shows that the alliance with
Russia, which had been directed, above
all, first, against Germany, has lost the
reasons for its existence. Do nothing
which will provoke Japan and nothing
which will provoke England and then
denounce the alliance which has be-
come dangerous, Let us defend our
selves"
