ACCUSED OF
TORTUR|NG
INMATES

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. T.--At the investiga-
tion OF conditions at the Girls Indus
trial School and women's Prison, Mrs.
Charles e. Coffin. formerly one of the
board of managers, testified that she had
seen the inmates of the school drugged
with chloroformed to keep them from
screaming.

DIES FOR A WOMAN
Washington Man Takes Poison
and Leaves Pitiful Note

WASHINGTON, April ga man
ABOUT DO years oid, sparely built. with
gray goatee and muStache and white
halr' ana whom the police authorities
are convinced was Edmund P. Capron
or ST. Louis, com 1itted suicide Satur-
day at hotel here by swallowing
cyanide of potassium Lying on a ta-
Die IN the suicides room was an un-
signed note addressed to Nellie"
which read:
Nellie, you are free l so loved Won
that l have given my life a sacrifice
Tor you that You may have the happi-
ness that you have longed for so many
times. / regret that 1 inflicted my life
on yours"
Two letters were found in the mans
pocket, one from Walter B. Stevens,
the secretary to the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition and another from his
assistant, Thedore Hardee. They said
that Capron had been chief clerk in
the department of domestic expIoita-
tion for three years and was careful
man, of good executive ability, who
had given excellent satisfaction in his
work
Advices were received tonight from
st. Louis to the effect that for num-
Der of years CaprOn was a newspaper
man i'm that city. At the close of the
exposition CaprOn and his wife, whose
first name is Nellie, moved to Wash

EXAMPLE LEADS MAN
TO FEARFUL SUICIDE
Tragic Death of Woman Sug.
gests Self Killing to a
Fellow Workman

NEW YORK, April 23.-Following
closely on the heels of the tragic death
of Mrs. George NJ. Lichtenstein, wife of
the manager of the Johnstown branch
of the Wertheimer Glove company of
this city, who committed suicide be-
cause she was accused by Michael J.
McCartin, a painter, of marrying again
without getting a divorce from him,
comes the news from Johnstown today
that Charles Hollenbeck, also employed
by the glove firm, has killed himself i'm
a similar manner.
II is not believed that there is any
connection between the two cases, but
that 1t is merely a coincidence. Hol-
lenbeck was merely an employe in the
factory at Johnstown, and his name
was not mentioned in connection with
the other case. Hollenbeck, who was
4S years old and n glove cutter, was
standing in a drug store, talking with
a crowd of men about the death of
Mrs. Sadie McCartin, when he suddenly
turned to the drug clerk and said:
Lets see some of that carbolic
acid"
A bottle was taken from a shelf and
handed to him. Before anyone could
interfere Hollenbeck pulled out the
stopper and took a drink of the burn
ing fluid. He dropped to the floor and
died in great agony. No reason for his
apparent desire TO commit suicide has
been advanced, as he was fairly well
TO do and apparently contented.

ENGINE HITS BRIDGE
Brakeman Is Seriously Injured
In Switch Accident

wreck occurred in the East Sew
enth street yards of the Northern Pa
cific road late Saturday night, when n
Northern Pacific freight train jumped
switch and crashed into one of the
west piers of the East Seventh street
bridge. The engineer and fireman es-
capped by jumping before the crash
Took place, but John Nagle, a brake
man, who was riding on top of one of
the freight cars, was hurled to the
ground by the force of the collision and
badly injured.
He was picked up unconscious, with
a broken hip and several deep cuts and
scratches on his head and body. In
ternal injuries are also feared. The
bridge pier. an iron one. was badly
twisted and pushed several feet from
It's base. The accident did not seri-
ously cripple the bridge, however, and
traffic was not suspended. The street
cars were obliged to run one al a time
and at reduced speed while crossing
the structure.
The city engineer was notified yes
terday and a prop was placed under
the damaged section. The railroad
company will repair the twisted pier
this week. The track was torn up for
twenty feet near the switch where the
accident occurred, and a deep furrow
was plowed in the ground by the cars
as they left the track. The accident
was due to a defective switch Traffic
was delayed for some time.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The
March health report of Col. w. c.
Gorgas, chief sanitary officer of the
isthmian canal zone, received here to-
day, reports improved conditions here.
There were about 500 employees of the

The sick in the hospitals numbered
133 and the total deaths for the month
was only II. This is equal to a rate of
fourteen per thousand, a rate which
Col. Gorgas says will be considered fa-
vorable anywhere. During MaAch there
were but four cases of yellow fever re-
ported, of which one was in Panama.
For the previous thirty days there had
been twelve cases. Each house in PAN

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, 6. D., April 23.-The
saloon fight at Valley Springs, east of
Sioux Falls. where the term "pigpen
freeholders" was recently applied to
persons who had signed the application
of b. L. ConOver for saloon license.
has reached the state circuit court in
this city.
The term "pigpen freeholders" arose
from the fact that some of those who
signed Conover's petition were alleged
not to have been property owners, and
that TO remove this objection a tract
of land was divided up into small
strips, each no larger than the space
occupied by an ordinary pigpen and
decided 10 those signers of the applica-
ton whose signatures had been ques-
toned, thus making them freeholders.
Ever since South Dakota was admit
ted TO the union of states Valley
Springs. until this spring. has been a
no license town At the recent election
license carried by a small majority
The result was not satisfactory TO the
temperance people of the town, and
they seek to have a license for a sa-
loon granted to Conover or any of the
other applicants declared void.
Notwithstanding that attorneys were
engaged to present the case to the
town council from the standpoint of
the temperance people, the town board
decided to grant a license to Conover
10 start saloon. The temperance peo-
pie decided to carry the matter to the
state circuit court, and have now had
papers served upon the members of the
board of trustees of Valley Springs, as
well as the clerk of the village, re-
quiring them to appear before Judge
Jones of the state circuit court who
will review the proceedings of the
board with reference TO the granting of
the license TO lConover.
Tomorrow forenoon at IL o'clock has
been fixed by Judge Jones as the time
for the hearing in the case. The out
come of the suit will be watched with
deep interest by the people of other
towns where sentiment for and against
saloons is nearly equally divided, and
where the same method was employed
to secure the signatures of freeholders
to applications for license to conduct
saloons.
