SATURDAY EVENING. nov. 20. 1904
After young's Money.

Sensational developments IN the Nan
Patterson case in New York came yester-
day when it was announced by the law
firm of futile & Ford, attorneys Tor Mrs.
Margaret Young, widow of Caesar
Young, that the bookmaker had borrowed
ais 600 in cash in West Broadway.
This money, procured on the indorse-
ment of his wife, was to pay the expenses
of the European trip on which they were
lust starting. After Young was shot
only 81, 400 was found III his pockets.
The attorneys believe that Young $
personal expenses from the time he got
the money until he was shot we're about
500, This leaves a discrepancy Of Sl2,-
500 for which the family and friends have
been unable to account. John d..
Millin, business partner of Mr. Young,
made a significant remark few
DAYS ago when be said: young
paid Nan Patterson more money
than anyone will ever know. When he
was ready to sail it was arranged that ne
would paw her large lump sum in con-
alteration of which she was never again
to bother him. / do not know If ne paid
the money"
With this development came the an
nouncement that the English relatives OF
Caesar Young had employed the law firm
Of Eaton & Lewis, Al Broad street, to rep
resent them in their claims on The estate
of the dead bookmaker. This fact caused
the further announcement that while
Young bad in the last few years given his
wife $3.50. 900, he himself had retained
very little. He considered his wife his
best banker and gave her his vast win
nngs. The result has been that Mrs.
Young invested the money in her own
name in property along the new Subway
in Manhattan, and futile Il FordAtoday
estimated her holdings at about 500,
600. But this is hers absolutely IN
her own name. and cannot be con-
sidered part of Young's estate. Young
membership IN the Metropolitan
Turf Association was sold for "a, 600, and
that was all he had in bis own name,
except the 81, 400 in cash he had when
he died.
The $4,000 he borrowed. with his
wife as indor.er, would count in his es-
tate. but it has not been found. For that
reason the attorneys ior the British rela-
tives will institute an investigation to
determine what became of the balance ol
$l2, 800 If they find it was paid to Nan
Patterson by Young they will set up the
claim that the payment was illegal ano
will endeavOr to recover.
Young died interstate and without IS
sue from his marriage. Under the law
hs widows dover right is only one'thIro
of his estste, the iemaining two-thlrd'
consequently going to his relatives
That fact gives the English relatives 81
the bookmaker their interest in the es'
tate.
! Young's life was insured for S3S, 600,
but the policies we're in his wife's name,
and, therefore, that money IS part OF
her estate and not of her husband.

Colorado Story ACCUSES Wife.

TOPEKA. Kansas. Sept. 17.-Robert
Romano. the man who made the con-
fession that he was implicated i'll the
blowing up of the depot at Independ-

story was true and that the officials in
Colorado would soon ascertain that all
he had said was true if they inyesti-
gated the matter
Romano accuses the Kansas officers
of bad faith in securing the confess
sion from him. He said he told the
story so that the other conspirators
could be arrested. and not from any
wish on his part to return to Colora-
do.
He told the officers that he would
have some important additions to
make to his confession as soon as he
could see his wife. The officers nave

man, but she has been missing ever

He criticised Senator Turner for be-

once having been honored by the peo-

as preteXt to denounce Turner as
a chronic office seeker. This did not

RAILROAD COLLAR IS THERE.

Mr. Rockwell the converted Mcbride
man. declared in his speech. at Armory
hall that Mead is not the nominee Of
Mr. Farrell because. at the celebrated
conference between republican leaders
and railroad officials. to which Mr..
Farrell hurried in his private car. he
urged the nomination of b. D. Crocker.
Possibly Mr.. Rockwell is correct. and
NJ Farrell did not ut first urge the
selection of Meade as the republican
nominee but as the conference was alb
solutely controlled by railroad men and
Mr.. Farrell assented to the Will of the
majority of his associates, it makes
little difference whether he was an
original Mead man. The fact is not
denied, that the nomination of Mead
was determined upon at a conference
ruled by railroad officials, Mr.. Farrell
being one of them, and ratified by a
compliant republican convention.
1t makes no difference whether the
railroad collar was placed on the re-
publican nominee by Farrell. Grosscup.
Geo. Stevenson. Charlie Chamberlain
or by them acting as one man in con-
ference with republican leaders. the
fact is it is there and can be seen by all
men.

ABUSE OF GEORGE TURNER.

As anticipated the railroad cam
paign opened in Walla Walla by the
speakers abusing the Hon. George
Turner. Humphrey proved himself a
demagogue of the worst type by charg-
ing the democratic nominee with hav-
ing naligned the Philippine soldiers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Sc
attic P.-L, John Wilson's paper, has
been forced to re-tract this same
statement
Mr.. Humphrey worked himself to a
white heat over the fact that George
Turner left the republican party In
1895. and in doing so manifested his
luminosity toward the thousands of
republicans of this state. who did ex-
actly the same thing, many of whom
nave assisted very materially in hon
orlng the congressman from Seattle
When campaign orator resorts to
Niliiication and abuse it evidences
the Weakness of his cause and the
astute politician never falls into such
AN error.
Mr.. Rockwell was clearly a disap-
polntment TO his audience but this
was but natural under the circum-
stances. A man cannot forciblv pres

question, and having so STRONGLY ax-
erted himself in behalf of a railway
commission heretofore. il could
not be expected that he would enthuse

which ne is adapted. He is never
shown that the most lasting compen-

lie in the successes and remunerations
which are earned by honest effort in
the paths of strict duty and integrity
He sees only the sweat and CRIME and
WEAKNESS of labor. and comparing
these with the apparent delights

who he knows have sufficiency CT
this worlds goods, he draws false
conclusions therefrom. He must be-
come rich, and that soon. to escape the

ROMANCE BADLY SHATTERED
Husband Sues Everett "Widow" For
Divorce.

EVERETT. Sept. 17.-Divorce pro-
ceedings have been instituted by John
Mercer against Sarah Grace Mercer.
The latter formerly lived in Everett,
sheriff. She cannot now be found
within the limits of SnOnomish coun-
ty. Mercer alleges that he always
treated his wife kindly and affection
ately, but that she had an ungovern-
able temper and had made his life a
burden to him.
He further maintains that she left
him without cause in September. 1908;
that in February, 1904, she went to
Farmersburg Indiana. and was mar
ried there to w. II. Woods He asks
not only that the divorce be granted
but also that he be given the custody
of their 11-year-old son, the youngest
of their three children, who he believes
is with the defendant.
Mrs. Mercer is the woman who last
winter was aided by the police in her
matrimonial ventures At that time
she was supposed to be widow
Woods, the Farmersburg man with
whom she had been in correspondence
wrote first to Mayor Headlee, asking
that her character be investigated
saying that if everything was found
satisfactory he would send money for
her to go east. MatrimOny was the evil
dent object. The letter was turned
over to the police. One of the detec-
tiveS looked the matter up, decided
everything was satisfactory, and so
notified Woods. The funds We're at
once sent and Mrs. Mercer left for
Farmersburg.
According to reports from the Indi-
ana town she and Woods We're mar
ried, but the match was not congenial
and after remaining in the east but a
short time Mrs. Mercer returned to
Everett. She left this city a few days
later.
