question with some heat and Mr.. Dwyer

He. Is Reported to He Critically Ill At His
summer Home.

STANFORD. Conn, May 22.-There was q
story out in Darien tonight that William
Zieger, baking powder man and backer
Of polar expeditions, is dying at his summer
home at Collender's Point. Efforts to YER
ify the story have been unsuccessful.
At Mr. Ziegler's home an attendant said
first there was nothing to be given out
about Mr. Ziegler's illness. When asked
whether it was the father or the son who
was i'll. he said it was the son, and added
the boy would be out next week.
At John d. Crimmins's residence 1t was
said that Mr.. Ziegler's son William is years
old, met with bicycle accident two or three
weeks ago and has been Ill since. The
person who made this statement said she
did not think his injuries were serious
Mr. Crimmins and MIR. Ziegler are neighbors.
At the residence of DR.. Avery, who is
Mr. Zieg ler's local physician, it was said Mr..
Ziegler has been i'll for long time and his
condition has become serious recently.
The person who gave this information said
that DR.. Avery was spending the night at
the Ziegler home with Mr.. Ziegler
William Ziegler's health has been very
poor since last fall, when he was seriously
hurt in a runaway accident. He was hurt
internally and was in precarious condi-
ton then for long time.

Uncle SAM AGAI NST WAC QUEEN.
Paterson RlOter. who wants TO Get Out OF
Prison, Labeled "pr0fessional Asitator."

TRENTON, y. j.. May 22.--William
MncQueen, the Paterson anarchist who
melted the strike riots in June, 1902 in which
many persons we're injured. filed formal
petition for release from State prison 10
day with the Court Of Pardons. He is serv-
ing five year sentence on two charges Of
malicious mischef and melting riot.
MacQueen is championed by the Rev.
A. w. Wishart Of this city, who expresses
the opinion in a voluminous document,
also filed with the court, that MacQueen is
a victim Of circumstances and too hasty
public sentiment.
MacQueen himself declares in his petition
that he has never been an anarchist and has
never counseed violence in tho settle
ment Of social quarrels. He says he has
never been paid agitator, but has always
SUPPORTED himself by his own labor.
The records befoia the Court Of Pardons
are not all in Mact.ueen's favor. There
is one letter from the United States Treasury
Department saying that MacQueens real
name is John j. Murdoch, that he had a
bad reputation abroad az a professional
agitator, and that his wife, who is In Eng
land, Is a noted anarchist
Another letter from the same source
asks that the Treasury Department be per-
mitted to submit facts concerning
MacQueen's past career in case his release
is seriously contemplated.
The case will come before the court at
the June term.
