nUNSON BOUND OVER
Waterbury Doctor Held For the
 Superior Court.

The trial of Dr Virgil H. Munson in the city court on charge of se- duction was concluded shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was found guilty by Judge Tyner and held for trial at the next term of the crlm- inal superior court. The bonds were fixed at $2,500.
 Yesterdays trial centered principal ly on the testimony of Herbert A. Thorndike, the father of the unfortu- nate girl Mir Thorndike's direct and cross examination with the redirect and cross examinations occupied the larger part of the time consumed. His story in the main substantiated and corroborated the testimony of Miss Anna F. Thorndike, the complainant.
 Mir Thorndike told his story in q painstaklng and straightforward man. ner, making no attempt to shield his own actions that were later charac- terized by the prosecuting attorney and the court as acts which supple mented those of Dr Munson and made the girl an easy prey to the designs of the accused man.

GAMBLERS.
Their Business Ruined, I hey Threaten Chicago
 Chief.

Chicago, Sept 15.-Gambling in Chi cago is nearer extinction than it has been in many years. Repeatedly ar rested and their paraphernalia shat tered and destroyed, members of the fraternity are said to have made one last desperate stand, which portends violence to the chief of police and members of his family if the gambling crusade continues.
 This has taken the form of anony- nous letters sent to the office and house of the chief which threaten the dynamiting of his home and violence to himself and family
 Chief Collins at first was inclined to denounce these warnings as "non- sense,'' but fearing for the safety of his family he yesterday stationed a guard near his residence
 The chief refused to divulge the na- ture of the letters save that they were threatening.

BRYAN TO ROOSEVELT.
Letter of Consratulation and Peace
 Plan Suggested.

Lincoln, Neb, Sept 15-A letter ad- dressed to President Roosevelt from w, ]. Bryan, in which a plan for the pre- yention of war is suggested, was made public last night. Mir Bryan congratu- lates the president on his success in bringing Russia and Japan together, and says:
 sWhy not ask congress for authority tO submit all international questions twhen agreement cannot be reached by parties 1nterested), to an impartial board for investigation and report? In- vestlgation will in nearly every case remove the cause of complaint and reconcile the parties. Questions which a nation might be unwilling to submit to arbitration in advance could be set tied by investigation by an impartial International board.
 Tt was a glorious thing to end the war between the Russians and the Japanese. but it would have been more glorious to have prevented the war and saved the frightful loss of life. The moral prestige which our nation now enjoss would in all probability enable 1t to lcad'a successful peace movement. The congratulations which you have received from the hands of European governments strengthen the chances of success. If the leading nations of the world would enter into an agreement to join in the creation of such board and pledge themselves to submit all disputes to the board for investigation before declaring war, the danger of war would be reduced to q minimum.
 Few men have had it in their power to do so much for humanity. VIII you improve the opportunity?

Berry, pronounced the body that of his sister. After making the Identification, the father and son sought Coroner Scholer to ecure permit to take the girls body back to her home in West Medford for burial.
 "The newspapers have done all this" said the father. when he was able to control his grief. My daughter, who was q pure and modest girl, was a stenographer in her own town. A year ago q Boston newspaper published story that she had run away with a married man. The next day 1t turned out that she had merely gone on her vacation alone and that she had noth- ing to do with the married man named in the story who had disappeared. The newspaper printed a retraction nut that didn't help my daughters feelings. The injury done to her was great and she never recovered from if. She grew more and more downhearted ana morose and this pointing to the coffin in which her body layl is what that cruel. false. malicious story has brought her to-"
 Mir Berry said that his daughter lett her home in West Medford on Tuesda! last. coming to New York on the Fail River line steamboat. He said that he received a telegram from her Wed nesday morning but he refused to say what were its contents. She register ed at the Manhattan horel Wednesday afternoon. under the name of "A. W. Wildey." of Washington. D. G." and that night killed herself by poison and pistol leaving the note to the effect that her body would be called for.
 "Wherever my daughter would go.' said Mir Berry, "it would seem as tI somebody was ready to point to her as girl who had been mixed up in disgraceful affair Then she went away from home to seek employment in other cities. She would he a short time in a place when the story would reach the ears of her employers and she would be told that she could not re- main. This happened several times until my child could not bear it any longer"
 Elmer Berry, the dead girls brother, said that letter had been received by the family from the girl. in which they were notified by her that she had decided to pun an end TO It.
 ''I cannot bear this false stain upon my character" she wrote to her father. "and see nothing else left for me tS

 Many Escaped and Circu-
 lated Throughout City.

Cincinnati. o. Sept 15.-At least five persons suspected of having yellow fever arrived here over the Queen & Crescent line at 2:45 m.. to-day. Those held are: Mrs T. J. Roan. of Tallulah.

 The train consisted of 200 refugees from Lake Providence. La. and Tal- lulah, La., who were fleeing from the yellow fever.
 Dr Clark W. Davis, health officer Of this city, being notified by General Passenger Agent Rinearson. that he was bringing about 200 people from the south in a special sent Dr B. P. Lyle, and an assistant to board the train at Lexington, examine the people aboard and wire him.
 Ambulances were at the train to re- ceive the patients in response to a message from Dr Lyle.
 When the train reached Lexington several persons who were sick attempt ed to escape, but were caught by the police and forced back onto the train. They were taken to the branch hospital on their arrival here.
 All the other passengers of the train were allowed to go to their destinations but the names and addresses of all were taken and they can be reached by the authorities if needed. Reports that large number of these were also sick were investigated by the physi- clans during the day.
 Fifty of the party or two hundred came up to this city absolutely penni- less though each carried a lot of hand baggage. These fifty gathered together in group at the grand central statfon.

Some of these are among the penniless ones.

(F'rom the New York WORLDLY
A motor monOcycle of strange de-
sign and for which great things are
claimed has been invented by Oswald
Jensen of New York
In appearance this travelling ma
chine is unlike any other vehicle in
use to-day. Within huge wheel with
pneumatic tire is suspended a seat
On which the driver rides. The ma
chine is not a loop-the-loop affair, as
one viewing the pictures of it might
suppose, the rider being always in an
upright position
The advantages claimed for , this
queer motor carriage by it's inventor
are many. 1t offers not only a new
and easy method of rapid speeding
overland, but it opens avenues of trav-
ell that are closed to all other. styles
of vehicles in it's ability of move over
rough, sandy and rocky country. ct
bounds over rocks and other obsta-
cles," declares it's inventor, with as
much ease as a horse trained to
jump"
1t requires neither road nor rail, but
travels cross-country over fields and
meadows, climbing hills and bound,
ing over bitches and other irregulari-
ties of the land formerly considered
insurmountable barriers even to the
most reckless chauffeur. And it has
the speed capacity of an express train
"a mile minute.
In addition to the one large wheel
upon which it travels the monocycle
has two auxiliary wheels, which can
be extended to the ground or drawn
within the large wheel, as may be de-
sired.
The main wheel is nine feet in di-
ameter and consists of a light steel
rim five inches wide fitted with
pneumatic tire.
The rider sits within this wheel
upon a movable seat, which, in being
operated toward either side, causes
the wheel to be steered and balanced.
The upright position of the motor
and rider is maintained by means of
eight small wheels which travel upon
tracks fixed upon the inner side of
the main rim. While these wheels
render the position of the motor
frame and seat Independent of the ro-
tary motion of the rim, the seat also
retains a vertical position independ-
ent of the frame. To produce this
effect the seat is suspended between
| two standards, which in turn slide
| lateral1y across the motor casing.
When travelling at leisure along
country roads the rider extends the
| auxiliary wheels toward the rear on
each side of the main wheel, thus
converting the machine into a tricy-
Gle; but when it is desired to attain
