TACGART CRANKS AND
TAGGART COCKTAILS
ANONYMOUS LETTERS RECEIVED
BY ATTORNEYS.
smyser the Especial Target for Con-
demnation-curiosity Concerning
the Celebrated Cocktail.

Wooster, o., Sept. 1.-THE Taggart
case has developed cranks in all parts
of the country, who find amusement
in writing anonymous letters to those
directly connected with the case. Since
the close of the famous trial the attor-
neys have received messages from diff
ferent parts of the country, commend
ing them for their work in the case. "A
number have written censuring them
for their conduct, the attorneys tor
Capt Taggart being condemned for
making such "despicable and unmanly
attempt to cause the ruin of woman
who was fighting for her honor and
her children" as one writer put it.
Judge Smyser was the target for per-
sons whose messages bore the post
mark Cincinnati. One was postal
card sent to his Office Another came
directed to Clerk of Court Harold,
with a request that he hand the lettel
to Mr.. Smyser. Clerk Harold per-
mitted the newspaper correspondents to
read It before consigning 1t to the
flames in the Office CRATE. Neither was
signed, but each contained words as
sailing the attorney in severe terms for
defending Mrs. Taggart. This letter
was not even shown to Mr.. Smyser
The writer OF the letter is evidently
acquainted in the city, as he wrote a
card to another attorney telling of the
letter and asked him to go to the clerk
and ask to see it.
Capt Taggart has yet few days be-
fore his furlough expires and is putting
in the time visiting relatives In the
county Mrs. Taggart, before and at
ter school hours, is seen riding about
the city with the two boys. Judge
Eason expects to give his decision
either Thursday or Friday.
There has been so much said in the
papers about the Taggart cocktail as
result of the frequent use of the two
words during the Taggart divorce suit
that there have been a number OF re-
quests received here for information as
to how to mix the drink described DUR
ing the trial as cooler and a heater
Mrs. Taggart and the boys are spend
ing their time at the Haller home
That both the captain and Mrs. Tag
CART are nervously interested in the de-
cision of Judge Eason may be under
stood, but both seem to be contenting
themselves with waiting for the end,
and to meet them one does not note
that there is anything unusual going
on in either of their minds.

ROMANCE ENDS IN
HORRIBLE MANNER
YOUNG MAN JILTED BY BEAuTI
Full GIRL.
When She Married Another He Killed
Her and Fired Bullet Into
His Own Brain. !

Hammond Ind, Sept. 1.-THE ro-
nance of a wealthy young man and a
girl of remarkable beauty was ended
today in a shocking manner on Lovers
Lane, at Cedar lake, a summer resort
south of this city, by bullets in the
heart of the girl and the head of the
man.
Harry Holman, once the accepted
suitor of Ida Taylor, shot and killed
her this afternoon and then turned the
revolver to his head, killing himself
instantly.
Young Holman was "a years old and
his grandparents we're founders of tn"
city of Hammond His uncle is a state
senator and another was formerly
mayor of this city. Holman was pos
sessed of much wealth in his own right
He met Ida Taylor, 19 years old, the
daughter of AL. Taylor, township su-
pervisor, one day last summer at Bin
yon's Hotel, where she was waiting on
table in the crush of guests. The
couple were wildly enamoured of each
other, but loves path was anything
but smooth for Holman.
Fickle Miss Taylor had other beaus.
among whom was Charles Jeanette, a
saloonkeeper, but so ardent was Hob
man in his suit that he at last won out,
and Ida promised to be his bride. 1t is
asserted that the wedding was to be
celebrated next month
Then Holman was called to Okla
homa to look after business interests.
than Jeanette again laid siege to his
sweetheart and was able, by his per-
sistency, TO lead her to the altar with
in three days. The marriage took place
three weeks ago.
Holman was apprised of the jilting
and sent back word that he had no
more interest in life. He returned
post-haste to Cedar lake and reproach-
ed the girl and she told her friends
that he had threatened to shoot her.
A sensational story of the meeting and
threats were published in the country
papers.
With this clipping in his pocket Hob
man went to Cedar lake today. The
Jeannettes, husband and wife, had just
driven there from Stegan, Ill. Mrs
Jeanette went for a walk and must
have met her rejected suitor, for two
shots were heard and the dead bodies
of the couple, not five apart, were
found ON the grass. Coroner Hoskins
will hold an inquest tomorrow.

ALLIANCE OFFICERS
LOCATE EMBEzzLER
J. J. QUINN ACCUSED OF TAKING
s2ss.65.
Skipped With Money Given Him to
Pay Hands-Was Located
at Sharon.

Alliance, O., Sept. 17.-After a vigi-
liant search of several days, Chief of
Police P. D. Howell of this city has
finally located ]. ]. Quinn, wanted here
for embezzling s29965 from the Reeves
Bros. Co. of this city.
Until the 10th of the present month
Quinn had been employed as fore
man by the Reeves company and had
been one of the trusted employees. He
had been engaged in experimenting the
erection of some works at Newport,
KY, and had charge of quite force OF
men at that place. On the 10th OF this
month he came to Alliance and Sc
cured s299.65 from the Office to pay the
hands working under him.
When the time for payment Of the
hands at Newport arrived, Quinn had
not shown up at that place and the
workmen began to suspect that all
was not we'll Consequently some OF
the men telegraphed the home office
here to the effect that Quinn had not
arrived with their pay, and they want
ed to know when they were going to
get it,
The game was at once scented by the
officers of the company and Chief How
ell was Immediately notified. He start
ed after the man at once and succeeded
in following him to Cambridge, but ar
rived there just little too late to In
tercept the man. Here it was found
that Quinn and his wife had been in
the city and had purchased tickets
both ways out Of town. The ruse was
a clever one, but Chief Howell got on
the right track and followed Quinn to
Youngstown, Sharon and Pittsburg. AT
the latter place he found where the
man had registered at hotel, but had
left about two hours before the chief
arrived.
Chief Howell made some further
search and gave orders to all the Off
GERS in the vicinity of Sharon to arrest
the man when found.
II was thought that Quinn would
turn up around Sharon, as that was his
former home and the home OF his
wife's parents.
The conjecture proved to be accurate,
and on Saturday night Quinn appeared
in that city and was taken in charge
by the officers there. On Sunday he
was brought to Alliance by Chief How
ell and placed in the city jail here.
II was at first reported that Quinn
had collected part of the money due
for the work being done at Newport,
but this Is believed to be untrue.

CHLORIDE OF LIME
Because Wallace Couldn't Cult II He
Quit Canal Job.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE story is
vouched for here that the primary rea-
son for John f. Wallace deciding to
abandon his position as chief engineer
of the Panama canal was because OF
the war department refusing to honor
his repuisition for $4,000 tons of chlor-
ide of lime.
Wallace, 1t is said, contended that
the problem on the isthmus was one
of sanitation; that any one could dig
the ditch when conditions we're made
favorable for the work
His requisition was based upon the
recommendation of his medical staff,
which, after thorough inspection, de-
clared for the immediate disinfection of
the whole canal zone, cleaning the
swamps Of mosquitoes and thoroughly
securing Colon and Panama.
1t is said that the wart department
sent him 500 pounds of disinfectant,
with the notification that his requisi-
ton was an absurdity.
Wallace, so the story goes, decided to
retire and Immediately accepted the po-
sition rendered him by private cor
poration.

IMMENSE CROWDS
Greet Secretary Taft and Party at
Toxic,

Toxic, Sept. 1S.-When Secretary
Taft and his party arrived here on
Sunday they we're greeted by an i'm
mense crowd, who cheered them to the
echo, and there was nothing in their
reception to indicate that less than a
fortnight ago Americans had been
stoned on the streets of the city.
The Taft party was met at the rail
road station by party of officials, who
took occasion to impress on the Amer
leans that there was nothing especially
significant in the burning of the Amer
lean churches by the mob; but rather
it was the method pursued by num-
Der of disappointed people to bring
their so-called grievances to the atten-
ton of the authorities.
The American party was assured that
when the provisions of the treaty had
been made known to the populace at
large all were satisfied. and there would
be no more disturbances.

THE BROTHER OF
MADAME HUMbERT
is CONSIDERED AN UNDESIRABLE
VISITOR.
II Required Only Ten Minutes to De-
eide That He Should Be
Deported.

New York, Sept. 17.-It took board
of special inquiry at Ellis Island only
ten minutes today to decide that Ro-
maine D'Aurignac, brother of the no
torious Madame Humbert, who arrived
on La Touraine Saturday was an un-
desirable visitor, and to issue an order
for his deportation on the next French
liner leaving New York.
D'Aurignac was the only witness ex-
amined and it was upon his admis-
sions that the board rendered its de-
cision.
The Frenchman pleaded that his
sentence in France was unjust, as the
judges were influenced by political
animosity toward his family. Under
these conditions, he argued, his Of
fense came under the head of politi-
cal crime, and was especially ex-
empted by the laws of the United
States, which forbid the entry into
this country of those who have served
terms in prison. This view of the mat
ter was considered fiimsy.
After D'Aurignac learned that he
was to be deported he wrote letter
to the commissioner of immigration,
in which he asked permission to land
in New York during the time that
would elapse before the sailing of tn
neXt French steamship. He said he
lad some important business to trans
act and would be willing to be ac-
companied by a file of soldiers while
on land II that should be considered
necessary.
Acting Commissioner Murray said
today that he had not received the
communication and would decide
whether to grant or reject the request
when II came to his notice.

To HOLD COTTON
Farmers Advised to Keep it For Better
Prices.
Prices.

Lawton, Okla. T., Sept. 17,-Horace

agriculturalist, is recommending that

means to enable farmers TO hold their
cotton until the minimum price, fixed

and Indian Territory has been attained.
Farmers unions have become so strong
in the south that 1t is predicted cotton
receipts will be meagre during the first
few weeks Of the season, as compared
with former years. The farmers are
prepared to aid one another to hold
theii crop until the market price OF
cotton has reached the points demand
