Former Secretary of Navy Succumbs
to Second Operation.
New York, Feb. 3.-William Collins
Whitney, former secretary of the navy,
died a few minutes after o'clock yes
terday afternoon at his home ON Fifth
avenue, in his sixty fourth year, while
under the influence of ether admins
tered preparatory to second operation
for appendicitis. Mr.. Whitney was
taken i'll Friday night at the perform
ance of "Risoletto" at the Metropoli-
tan opera house, and had to leave be-
fore the opera ended. DIR. Walter b.
James, the Whitney family physician,
was summoned and found that the
condition of the patient was such that,
after consultation, an operation was
decided ON and was performed by DR..
Bull. The patient rallied so well that
it was fully believed he would recover.
Mr.. Whitney's condition, however,
was very grave on Sunday and Mon
day, and at consultation held Tues
day afternoon the conclusion was
reached that the only hope for the pa
tent lay in second operation Mr..
Whitney was placed under the influ-
ence of ether, but whether the opera
ton proceeded or not is not known.
When the physicians perceived that
the patient was in danger of death
Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Dor
othy Whitney were Immediately mott
fed. They FASTENED to the side of
their father, and in few minutes he
had breathed his last.

Has Been Taken From Prison But
Has Not Been Released.

Has Been Taken From Prison But
Has Not Been Released.
London, Jan. 31.-Lloyd's Weekly
Newspaper says that Mrs. Florence
May brick, the American woman who
was serving life sentence for having
poisoned her husband, was released
from Aylesbury prison at 6:45 O'Clock
on the morning of January %, on spe-
clal license. She was taken away Sc
cretly in closed carriage and her
present whereabouts are unknown.
London, Feb. LIN spite of the
mystery with which officials shroud
the action in connection with the re-
ported release Of Mrs. Florence May
brick, who is serving life sentence
for poisoning her husband, it can be
definitely said that she has been re-
moved from Aylesbury prison. At
the United States embassy it was most
emphatically declared that she had not
been pardoned and that she was still a
prisoner
Where she has been taken remains a
mystery, but reports from Aylesbury
are to the effect that she had been re-
moved to some institution in Cornwall
The home Office and the GOVERNOR of
Aylesbury prison refuse to make any
kind of a statement on the subject.
Ii the ordinary course had been fol-
lowed, Mrs. Maybrick would have been
taken to Holloway if her immediate
release were contemplated, but she is
not there, and has probably been re-
moved to some other prison of less rig
orous discipline, where she can recu-
perate prior to her release.
The details given in Lloyd's Weekly
Newspaper regarding the visit of Mrs
Maybr mother, the Baroness de
Roques, to Aylesbury prison, January
%, appear to be correct. She after
wards described Mrs. May brick as very
busy with her work, in much better
spirits and looking forward to her re-
lease.
London, Feb. 1.-The Daily Mail
says that Mrs. May brick is now in
Liverpool, and that the following con.
ditions attach to her release from
prison:
That she will not appear on the pub
lie stage OF write book of her expert
ences, and shall in no way endeavor
to attract public attention to herself.
Other newspapers this morning an
nounce Mrs. May brick's removal from
Aylesbury prison and express the belief
that she will be released within two
or three months.

CAPITALISTS SENTENCED.
Label COunterfeiters Heavily Fined
and Imprisoned.


New York, Feb. IA unique plea
for clemecny has been made by Will
lam Strauss and William Haas, who
were found guilty of counterfeiting
and selling labels. The judge who
heard the case sentenced them by first
announcing fine Of $500 each. They
seemed pleased at this, but when the
Judge added "ten days in prison, they
sprang from their chairs in protest.
"Why, your honor, shouted Strauss,
~ am a respectable man, and cannot
go to prison."
81 cannot help that" replied the
court, "and you and Mr.. Haas must
serve the ten days.
"But, your honor, l am going to
Europe on Thursday next. I have
booked my passage and have my tick
cts. 1t will ruin me to go to Jail"
"You tried to ruin many men by
these counterfeit labels" said the
judge, land the sentence of the court
will not be changed.
Both demonstrated loudly as they
were led away to Jail.

LAND WITHDRAWALS.
Secretary of Interior Renders I'M
pOrtant Decision.

Secretary of Interior Renders I'M
pOrtant Decision.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The secretary
of the interior has rendered decision
defining the status of mining claims
upon lands withdrawn for reservoir
purposes or permanent. works under
the irrigation law, which is of utmost
Importance to locators in the arid
states.
He holds that the Withdrawals made
under the authority of the act of June
II, 1909, of lands which, in his judg-
ment, are required for any irrigation
works contemplated under the provi-
sions of said act, have the force of leg
islative Withdrawals, and are, there
fore, effective to withdraw from other
disposition all lands within the desig-
mated limits to which right has not
vested. The purpose to confer upon
the secretary of the interior such pow
er is further manifested by the author
ity given him to withdraw from entry,
except under the homestead law (the
only class of entry excepted), any pub
lie lands believed to be susceptible of
irrigation from such works, and di-
recting that such lands shall not be
disposed of except under the homestead
law and in tracts of such area, by le-
gal subdivision, as, in his opinion,
may reasonably be required for the
support of family.
In his opinion no right is vested in
the locator of mineral claim until
final proof has been submitted and the
purchase money paid. Until such time
no right is acquired as against the
government which would deprive con-
gress of the power to dispose of the
land. Unless claimant to lands COW
cred by such Withdrawals had acquired
vested interest in the land, so as to
deprive congress of the power of dispo-
sition and control over the same, it
would be subject to the operations of
such Withdrawals
The secretary's decision is aimed di-
rectly at spectators whose sole purpose
in going upon the withdrawn areas is
to levy tribute upon the government,
and thus retard actual irrigation de-
velopment.

The town stands ON what was origin

perhaps 500 people. The town has
one long street lined with business
houses. A number of the owners Of

RUSSIAN BLUNDER.
Officer Ordered Bridge Blown Up
While Il Was Covered
With Troops.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-Advices have been
received here from authoritative
sources to the effect that during a re-
cent review Of Russian troops at Mos
COW, the Grand Duke Serge, governor
general of the city ordered big bridge
across the river blown up, because he
considered it a dangerous structure,
forgetting that the superstructure was
covered with Russian troops.
An unintelligent subordinate obeyed
the command and the bridge was COM
pletely demolished, and 90 officers, to-
gether with over 1000 soldiers, were
killed and wounded.
The dispatch was suppressed, and
the grand dukes removal from the
army and loss of position as governor
is said ito be imminent.

SEE WHEAT
THAT PRICE ACTUALLY PAID IN
CHICAGO.
Traders Impelled by Fear of War
and the Armour Corner Send the
Price Skyward--Oats and Corn
Also Score Heavy Advances
Along With Wheat.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Dollar wheat was
an actuality yesterday and the fondest
hope of the Western farmer has been
realized. The magic mark was reached
when carloads of winter wheat sold in
the sample room of the Board Of Trade
for one hundred cents bushel, the
highest price that has been paid for
the grain since the Letter deal of 1898.
The traders in the big pit, impelled
by the fear of impending war in the
far East and of the Armour corner,
feverishly bid the price of wheat for
May delivery to "a cents, while the
operators in corn sent the mark for
that grain to "a 7-8 cents, price
which has been reached but once be-
fore since 1894.
Oats advanced to 46 1-S cents, the
highest price since July, 1902. The
greatest force in all the pits was the
great outside public. Armour in
wheat, Patten in oats, the Eastern syn
dictate in corn, all temporarily resigned
their scepters to the people, who flood
ed the commission houses with orders
to buy.
Prices Soar Skyward.
With rumors of war in their ears and
reports of 81 wheat from the sample
room, few operators are hazardous
enough to sell, and the result is that
with all buyers and no sellers the
prices sora heavenward, and only the
great bull leaders can control them.
Cash wheat No. red sold on the
Board of Trade at 81 a bushel, two
carloads changing hands at that price.
The wheat was bought by millers.
Wheat has not sold so high in this
market either for spot or futuer deliv-
cry, since Jnne, 1898, in which month
the Letter deal eliminated. The high
prices being paid at Chicago are the
direct result of the big deal in May
wheat being engineered by Armour.
The advance in May was accompanied
by active covering of shorts and much
speculative excitement.

TO PAY FOR PANAMA.
Ten Million Will Probably Be Civ
en- to Colombia by the
United States.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Negotiations
for the payment of between $4,000
900 and $40, Zoo, 900 to Colombia by
the United States have, it is said,
reached such stage that they will
be concluded within the next ten days.
For this reason the Republicans in
the senate are now seriously consider
ing a proposition from the Democrats,
which will at once clear up the situa-
ton with regard to the Panama canal
treaty.
The proposition is that resolution
be adopted requiring the president to
use his good offices to bring about the
establishment of friendly relations be-
tween Colombia and Panama, and to
enter into negotiations whereby the
United States will argee to pay some
money to Colombia for the loss of
Panama.
The Democrats say that if the Re-
publicans will agree to such resolu-
ton they will agree, with four excep-
lions only, to vote for the raticfiation
of the canal treaty.
Four IrrecOncilables.
The four irreconcilables are Senators
Tillman, of South Carolina; Carmack,
of Tennessee; Daniel, of Virginia, and
Bailey, of Texas.
Even such irreconcilables as Sena-
tors Morgan, of Alabama, and Teller,
of Colorado, have agreed to be so bound
A caucus of Democratic senator's
will be held for the purpose of agi BE-
ing upon the terms of the resolution.
The Republicans say that the negotia-
lions with Colombia are so near COM
pleted that they are disposed to accept
the Democratic plan.
1t would probably end in the United
States paying Colombia about $1,000
600 and requiring Panama to pay Co.
lombia about So, 1000, 600 out of the
money the isthmian government is tn
receive from the United States.

Flour Mills Close.

Minneapolis, Feb. Ten -four
mills have closed down indefinitely.
Various opinions have been given for
the closing and local millers are in
clined to assign lack of water power
as the cause, but traders on exchange
believe the real cause to be the slack
demand in the -four market on account
of the uncertainties of wheat at the
present time. There is rumor cur
rent that all the twenty mills will be
closed down.

Portland, Or, jan, 30.-During
the trial of Asa B. Thomson, former
receiver of the United States land Office
at La Grande, several witnesses ad-
mitted, ON cross examination that they
had perjured themselves in securing
government land and testified that 9TH
er witnesses had also committed per-
jury. They further testified that
Charles Cunningham was at the head
of scheme to defraud the government
and that they were tools of his.
The evidence showing perjury and
a connivance of some sort was so strong
that United States District Judge Bel
linger commented upon it in open
court. The government officials stated
then that the case would be investi-
gated further, and this is the result of
the investigation.

Conspiracy Alleged.

Judge Hartman is the official before
whom the majority of the final proofs
are made, and he is charged with con-
spiracy with Cunningham. The men
who are accused of making the fraud
ulent entries are the witnesses who ap-

December term of the federal court at
Portland, when Thomson, as receiver
of the La Grand land office, was charg-
ed with soliciting brides from Asa
Rayburn, Dallas O'Hara and Glen

ADVERTISING DEVICE
INVENTED BY SAVANNAHIAN,
Thought Out Scheme While Unable
TO See and Under Doctors Care.

Thought Out Scheme While Unable
TO See and Under Doctors Care.
While unable to see and under the
daily care of an eye specialist in At
lanta, Mr.. J. 0. Bewan of this city
studied out novel and useful adver-
Using article, which he expects will
mete with success. He will go to
Washington in short time to secure
patent rights on his invention.
AS soon as the patent is secured the
article will be placed on sale, Savan-
nah merchants being given the first
opportunity to advertise through his
novel device. Mr.. Bewan expects to
manufacture his Recorder" here and
to make Savannah the Southern point
Of distribution.
The first cost for machinery to pro
duce his device will be about $500 and
he will have to place orders for paper
ribbons, which the Morning News is
going to get out, in lots of 10000 and
more. Spindles and rubber disks in
lots of 25, 900 or more will also have to
be ordered. Mr.. Bewan says he
wants every merchant in the city to
give his device some consideration. He
is satisfied that it will be adopted if
investigated.
Mr.. Bewan spent six weeks in max
the model, having changed his plans
at least dozen time in order to get
the best results.
