ARTON's SUICIDE.
He Was Canal Grafter in Days Now
 Gone By.


 Paris, July 17.-Emile Arton, one of the principal figures in the old Panama canal scandal, was found dead in his apartments this morning under cir cumstances indicating suicide.
 Arton was sentenced la 1896 to eight years Imprisonment for complicity with Baron DeReinach and Dr. Cor nelius Herz in the frauds of the Pan anna canal company. Arton was the intermediary between Baron DeReinach and the incriminated French deputies. that is, btween the briber and the bribed. Arton wrote checks and had the check book on whose stubs are recorded the guilt of about one hun dred and forty politicians. He alone possessed the secrets of the bribery.
 When the crash came in 1892 Arton disappeared and with him went about $740.000 of the funds of the French Dynamite Society, with which Arton was associated. In his absence he was sentenced on a charge of trying to bribe a deputy to five years impris- onment for his connection with the French Dynamite Society. Arton was finally captured in London and taken to France but was pardoned In 1899.
 DeRinach committed suicide and Dr. Herz, after seeking refuge in Eng land, died there in 1898.

No Syndicate ownership.

Chicago, July 17.-Charles w. Mur- phy. vice president of the ChisIgo Ma tional League Baseball Club, who was chosen Saturday. said today:
 The story of syndicate ownership as applied to our organization Is with out foundation. No other club in the National League has any stock or will be allowed to take any in the Chicago club. Any talk of a merger or baseball combination involving our club is likewise without the slightest foundation. The Chicago club will be strengthened without regard to ex- pense and If we can give this city a championship club, we intend to do so. Manager Frank Selee, who is now i'll at local hospital. will be retained and no changes of any kind whatsoever are contemplated, save that We will add any star players than we can secure"

GOT HIS DESERTS.
Prompt RetributiOn for a Fool at Audubon
 Beach.


 New York, July 17.-Prompt retrfbution was meted out tonight to Samuel Brooks. bather at Audubon Beach. whose fooi- hardy mischeviousness imperiled the lives of three young women. Brooks was res sued by the police after having received terrible beating at the hands of hundreds of people who had seen him rock boat until 1t was capszed and its occupants thrown out into the water. Carrier Bauer, Nellie Hatten and Agnes Mclaughlin. each aged IS years. were rowing in the vicinity of the many bathers, when Brooks and a companion who were in the water approach ed and needless of the protests of the young women climbed into the boat. Taking DO sitions at either end of the craft the men began to rock the boat, and although the thoroughly terrified girls begged the in truders to desist, continued until the boat upset.
 Bathers attracted by the plight of the drowning girls swam to their rescue and after a struggle brought the three in a semiconscious condition ashore.
 Meanwhile Brooks and his companion swan away and the latter escaped. Brooks was less fortunate. and when he reached the shore an infuriated mob that had wit messed his performance set upon him with umbrellas and sticks and might have killed him but for the timely intervention of the police. He was placed under arrest.
