vARDAMAN
WHY THE NAME WAS NOT
CALLED GOOD
NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL
Queered the Name That
Had Been Chosen.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 2.-The
postmaster general issued the follow
ing public statement late this after
noon:
"On the sixth day of May, 1904, a
petition was filed with the department
asking for the establishment Of a
postoffice at certain point in Calhoun
county, in the state of Mississippi, and
requesting that it be named 'Varda-
man.
Immediately the usual investigation
made by the department as to the ne
cessity for the establishment of the
Office was undertaken. Pending the
inquiry, a copy of the Daily Clarion
Ledger, a newspaper published al
Jackson, Miss, dated August 25, 1903
was filed with the department. con-
tanning an article to which the depart
ment's attention was called. This ar
| ticle was copy OF an editorial print
ed in the Commonwealth under date OF
January 10, 1903, which paper is pub
| iiohcu anu NNiISu w 'c'SihNi foiNes
man. The article in question was sc
vile and indecent in its statements con
cerning the mother of the president o
the United States as to be unfit fol-
reproduction. The postmaster genera
did not esteem it proper to give a post
Office the name of man who had useC
such language about a woman. Th'
postoffice was ordered established ant
given the name of Timberville."
"In exercising the discretion giveI
him by law, the postmaster genera
frequently rejects names suggested TO
proposed postofTices. He has neve
been clearer as to his duty than in thi
case.
at is proper to say that Presiden
Roosevelt had no knowledge to the In
cent referred to-"

PUZZLED
ARE THE NEW YORK MA
RlNE OFFICIALS
OVER A YOUNG WOMAN
Who Tells a Most AS
founding Story.

New York, Aug. 2.-The local ma
rine officials are puzzled over the
case of young woman apparently
less than 25 years Of age who arrived
in this port on the Red Star liner
Kroonland yesterday. She is apparent
ly a woman of culture and she made
her appearance on the steamer soon
after it left Southampton dressed en-
tirely in white and with no personal
belongings excepting a small hand
bag.
She tells an astounding story. She
declares that the Paris house of J. p.
Morgan is her bank. She came only re-
Gently to London from Baden, where
she has been taking the baths. 81
do not know why am here" she said,
Except that in Southampton | was in
formed by an official of the Red Star
line that in North Carolina aye the
finest mineral baths in the world. /
remember going out to the theatre and
to dinner with him and remember that
he put me aboard the Kroonland.
Since then all is a haze. ! dimly re-
member coming on deck the following
day, but that is all.
THE woman seems perfectly sane"
said DR.. G. f. Van Daele, ship surgeon,
except on one topic-baths. She has
insisted on baths of mineral water,
and each bath was to have in it bot
tie of cognac. This, she says has been
her habit for years.
She talks nationally on every topic"
continued the doctor but We can
learn no more of her history. She is
a mystery indeed. Her only desire is
to return to the other side, so | sup
pose she WILL and that will end it so
far as we are concerned
She has letters of credit from Eng
land verifying her statement that she
has an income 9f $4,000 (s15,000) a
| year.
But she does not know what she Is
here for. She knows not a soul in
America. She is to be returned to the
other side.
When the immigration officials be-
came aware of the facts in this strange
case it was intended to take the won.
an in white" to Ellis Island and at.
tend to her deportation in the usual
way. But the officials of the Red Star
! line demurred.
NO" they said, this Is woman OF
refinement and culture. She may re
main on the Kroonland until we re
turn"
The authorities gave their permis
sion and this will be done.

THE SULTAN FAILED
TO CARRY OUT
PROMISE
Didn't Give Leishman
Private Audience.
ULTIMATUM NOT GIVEN

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 2.-Despite
his promise the Sultan of Turkey failed
today to accord private audience to
United States Minister Leishman, and
in consequence the so-called ultimatum
regarding the American claims was
not presented.
The state department today hoped
against hope that the situation would
be properly met by the sultan with as
surances Of agreeing to the American
demands which are that the discrimi-
nations against American citizens
shall cease. that Americans shall have
the same privileges and exemptions as
citizens of European nations and es-
pecially that Turkey shall cease to en-
barrass American educational and re-
ligious institutions there Instead II
received a cablegram from the minis
ter announcing that the sultan would
give his answer in personal audi
ence next Thursday instead Of today
The exact attitude of this govern
ment in dealing with the Turkish sit
uation will best be indicated by the
movements of the battleship squadron
which has already been ordered home
II it Is permitted to leave the Medi-
terranean it Is evident that further
indefinite parley on the part of the sui.
tan will be permitted.

THE OFFICERS
Loaned Themselves Too
Much MOney.

Denver, Col. Aug. 2.-Judge G. G,
Helm, receiver for the Fidelity Savings
association failed a month ago for al
most a million dollars filed prelim-
mary report today He charges the
officers of the association with loaning
themselves and their friends and cor
porations In which they were interested
sums of money aggregating nearly four
hundred thousand dollars, practically
without security. He further says blind
entries were made in the loan depart
ment and promissory notes and records
which ought to be in existence have not
been turned over to him. Judge Helm
says that unless many things can be
cleared up criminal proceedings should
be instituted against the officers Of the
defunct institution and recommends
that the entire matter be taken up by
the grand jury now in session.

SENSATIONAL
CASE AIRED IN UNITED
STATES COURT
A DEEPLY LAID SCHEME
To Destroy a Woman's
Character.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2.-In a suit filed
today by Mrs. Cora B. Campbell, in the
United States court, is revealed, If her
allegations be true. one of the most
desperately laid schemes to destroy o
woman that will have ever been pre-
sented before court of law.
Her former husband, Edward w.
Campbell, the multi-millionaire OF
Warren, Pa. and Warrington, w. Va,
is sued by Mrs. Campbell for 100000
damages and his brother, George b.
Campbell, Gilbert b. and Harry Fl.
Perkins, of the Perkins detective bu-
reau of this city, and Charles, f. Cole,
Stephen F. Neal and Fred III. Brake
man, alleged employees of the Perkins
agency are named as accessories and
particeps criminis.
In March 1903, Mrs. Campbell was
discovered In hotel at Warren. Pa.
under circumstances which compelled
her to yield to her husbands offer Of
$1,000 year alimony pendant upon
her consent to divorce and her leav-
ing Pennsylvania permanently. Mrs.
Campbell denies that she knew that by
this action she was entering upon col
lusion with her husband to secure a di-
vorce in violation of the Pennsylvania
statutes.
After signing the agreement, SO Mrs.
Campbell AYERS, she was again invei-
gled into hotel, drugged and forced
to sign another agreement, repudiating
the first one, and accepting $4,000 cash
as settlement in full of her claims
against her husbands millions.
Mrs. Campbell AYERS that her pres
ence in the hotel on both occasions
was due to the manipulations of the
Perkins detectives employed, she says
by her husband to entrap her, and that
it was not until recently that she learn
ed that Cole. who acted as an agent
in receiving the final $4,000 settlement
was in reality Perkins detective. Cole
accompanied Mrs. Campbell to Mexico
City and Denver after she had been di'
vorced and obtained from her and ap'
propriated to his own use all of the
81, 900 according to the specifications ir
her suit, and cancelled checks ISSUED
to Cole. which will be offered as evil
dence.

FAMILY TROUBLE
Caused Murder and Sui
eide.

Lancaster, Wis, Aug 2.-Peter Hen
kel OF Hurricane shot and killed his
brother-in-law, Rudolph Wieland in a
bar-room at o'clock tonight. The
murderer fed, but was overtaken by
City Marshall A. l.. Budworth in an oat
field about mile q. IRON the
city.
Seeing that escape was impossible
Henkel shot himself through the head.
He was alive when brought to Ian
caster, but died soon afterward.
Family troubles of long standing are
given as the cause of the tragedy.
The excitement created was intense
and had the murderer not taken his
own life it is possible that he would
have been lynched on being brought
back to the city.
About eight years ago Henkel was
sent to the penitentiary for killing Dr.
Ayers of Little Grant.

offered shorter hours. higher wages,
and, in many cases, cash bonus Of
hundreds OF dollars. II they would re-
turn.to work.
This has been done in many cases,
but the men, one and all, have refus-
ed the bribes thus offered" said Inter-
national Secretary Call of the Butcher
Workmen organization. Our men are
standing as Arm as they did the first
day. Not one has deserted. The pack
ers' efforts with money and influence,
have availed nothing"
George Pooler, foreman of the Swift
Car shops and his assistant, Sig Ellis,
are named as two of the packers
agents who have made night visits to
strikers homes.
Seventeen strike leaders have receiv-
cd kilograms or special letters, Secre-
tary Call asserts, asking them to attend
secret night conferences with packers
representatives looking to getting then
to desert the strikers ranks.
Charges are made that packers have
violated the state employment law for
bidding hiring men under misrepresen
tation and bringing armed men into thu
state, penalties for which vary from
heavy fines to five years imprison
ment.
International Secretary Call of th'
Butcher Workmens' organization as
serts the packers are losing $25000
daily or total Of s5,500,000 since tn
strike began twenty days ago.

FORCED OFF TICKET
When Defalcation Was
Discovered.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. John j..
Kempf, state treasurer and the Repub-
lIcan nominee to succeed himself has
been forced off the ticket last week,
A shortage of $4,000 in his accounts
were discovered and while he declared
It was merely an error in bookkeeping
and made good the amount, the COVER
nor required an increase In his bond of
from 100000 to 100000 and the Re-
publican leaders demanded his removal
from the ticket.
It now transpires that Kempf sent
his resignation in before the shortage
was made public. It was on Friday
morning that the news was published
and State Chairman W. d. Connor had
Kempf's resignation in his possession
Thursday. He held it to give the official
a chance to make statement.

At LARGE
No Trace Yet Of Train
Robbers.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The robbers who
held up the Illinois Central passenger
train near Matteson, Ills, last night,
are still at large.
A report came from Griffith, Ind,
this morning that three men answering
the description of the robbers and act.
ing suspiciously asked about the Hi
nois Central robbery and were anx-
ious to get Chicago morning paper,
was the signal for a rush of detec-
tives to that section, which is the
neighborhood where the car barn
bandits made their sensational fight
against the Chicago detectives.
The men were soon located, but the
tip did not pan out. They were able
to prove a perfect alibi.
This left the case just where IT was
the night before. The officers are
absolutely without clue, though pos.
sessed of very good descriptions of the
men.
1t is believed that the robbers were
able to make their way into Chicago
where it is easier to lose the trail than
it would be in the country and Chi.
cago will now be the scene of man.
hunt such as followed the car barn
tragedy.
The Illinois Central authorities have
increased the reward of $1,000 offer
ed early today to $4,000 as an addi.
tional incentive for the best efforts
of the detectives. Reports from St.
Louis as to the condition Of the In
jured in the hold-up indicate that all
are doing well and that there will be
no fatalities.

KUROPATK|N
Tells Of Two Days Hard
Luck.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 3-The official
reports of General Kuropatkin, cover
ing the fighting of Sunday and Mon
day, portions of which have been
made public show that the reverses
sustained by the Russians were much
greater than at first believed. The
commanding general praises the val.
or of his men but admits that they
were driven back with heavy loss. He
insists however that the retirement
was along lines previously planned
and that all of the main positions
previously held are still retained.
It is admitted at military headquar'
ters that the Russian army in Manchu'
ria is now in position where 1t must
risk general engagement upon which
General Kuropatkin must stake both

NEW CRUISERS
Cause Anxiety in Marine
Circles.

London, Aug. 3.-Uondon Times.)-
The London Times insurance cores
pondent reports that the news that two
Russian auxiliary cruisers have left the
Baltic presumably for duty in the Red
Sea is causing anxiety in marine cir
cles as it is presumed that these YES
sells are regularly commissioned. OBJ
jections which were taken in the cases
of the st, Petersburg and Smolensk
can hardly be repeated in this case.
Confirmation of the departure of the
Vladivostok cruisers from the east
coast of Japan, says the correspond
ent, caused a sharp decline in war rates
on steamers crossing the Pacific to Jap
anese ports today. The reinsurance
rates on the American steamer Shaw
NUT, from Portland, Oregon, to Yoko-
hama, on which ten guineas per cent
has already been paid were down to
twenty shillings per cent today.

MORE Time
For Operators to Recede
Gracefully.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 2.-When the ex-
ecutive committee of the United Mine
Workers adjourned this afternoon dis
trict President Nichols gave out the
following statement:
'The executive board of district No.
has decided to approve the position
taken by the miners representatives
on the board Of Cancellation. The in
structions Of the Pittston convention
will be complied with"
The board adjourned subject to call
in order to allow its officers to inves-
tigate and report back the names OF
such companies and colleries at which
collections for check weighmen and
check docking bosses are not being
made In accordance with Umpire
Wright's decision.
This was the total result of an all
day session and the impression pre-
walls that the miners are giving theiI
operators more time to gracefully re-
cede from a position seemingly un-
tenable.. In the meantime there are
indications that the conciliation board
is not dead but that it will soon be
called together again.
The Pittston convention was called
two weeks ago. 1t instructed the exec
utive boards to declare strikes against
all operators who refused to abide by
the decision of the comciliation board
and the rulings Of Umpire Wright OF
the question of collecting wages fol
check weighmen.

NO BOTTOM
Sunken Lake Road Is a
Puzzle.
(From the Canton Morning News.

(From the Canton Morning News.)
The sunken road at Meyers lake is
still a vexatious matter. The efforts
to fill the place have failed. Every
thing that is put into the sink hole
goes out of sight, and recently
soundings were made with 38 foot
iron rod and no sign of solid founda-
tion could be found. The parties who
own the land in that vicinity have Of
fered to furnish all the timber neces-
sary to make the repairs. but is seems
as though it were impossible to get
foundation upon which to build.
