REYNOLDS IS HELD
Alleged circuIator of Bogus
Money Bound Over

Paul Reynolds, who was arrested on
Monday charged with passing counter
felt money, was arraigned yesterday
afternoon before United States Com
missioner Beckhoffer and was bound
over to the federal grand jury under
$4,000 bonds. In default of bail he was
remanded to the county jail to await
the action Of the jury, which meets in
June.
Reynolds denied that he had ever
passed any counterfeit money when he
was arraigned, but Capt. Lawrence, of
the secret service, produced a witness
who positively identified the prisoner
as the man who had secured change
from her on bogus $40 gold piece
The officers are not inclined to be-
lieve that Reynolds is professional
counterfeiter, but say he is a vagrant
who has been subsidized by the real
manufacturers Of the spurious gold
money to "shove" it. The case is being
thoroughly investigated in the hope
that the location of the plant which is
turning out all Of this worthless gold
money which has been flooding the
Northwest for the past three months
may be discovered.

PAUL HAUSER ENDS
LIFE WITH SHOTGUN
Places MuzzIe to His Breast
and Presses Trigger
With Broom

Placing twelve-gauge shotgun
over two barrels, with the muzzle
pressed tightly against his chest, Paul
Hauser, aged forty-two, secretary and
treasurer of the Hauser & Sons Malt
ing company. 272 Jackson street, de-
liberately pressed the trigger with a
broom handle. The heavy charge of
shot entered his body just below the
heart.
Hauser killed himself in the base
ment, and when found he was lying
on the floor dying.
Shortly before 1 o'clock Mr.. Hauser,
who was alone in the office, remarked
to one Of the men about the building.
Gus Yerke, that he was going into the
basement for few minutes, and In
structed the man to watch the tele-
phone.
A minute or two later a shot was
heard, and rushing to the basement
Yerke discovered Hauser lying on his
back, gasping for breath, with a ghast-
ly wound in his chest and the gun
lying by his side. Hauser died a min
ute later.
Deputy Coroner Whitcomb was call
ed and at the request of friends of the
dead man the body was removed to the
undertaking rooms of Jacob Rock
stroh, ZIG East Seventh street.
A note addressed to Mr.. Hauser's
wife was lying on the dead mans
desk and had evidently been written
just previous to the suicide. The let
ter was delivered unopened to Mrs.
Hauser.
Why Hauser killed himself is a mys-
terry, as he was of sunny tempera-
ment and always cheerful. He and his
brother Charles were conducting the
business started by their father years
ago, and were apparently getting along
nicely.
Mr.. Hauser was born at Fond du
Lac, Wis, in 1863, and came to this
city with his father in 1887. He is
survived by a widow and four small
children. The funeral will be private
and will take place at the family resi-
dence, 779 East Sixth street, Monday
afternoon at o'clock. Interment at

BOON FOR CHILDREN
The Playground Report Shows
Many Enjoyed Benefits

The first annual report of the st.
Paul Fairgrounds committee was is
sued yesterday giving a detailed ac-
count of what was accomplished DUR
ing the past year. The committee was
a joint affair formed Of three members
Of the Civic league, three members of
the Commercial club and the superin-
chairman, DR.. A. w. Dunnfng.
The grounds opened June and re-
NAMED available to the children until
Sept. 20, period of seventy-two and
one-half days. During this period 26,-
SIT children took advantage of the OPP
portunity to visit them, or a total of 365
a day on the average.
The competitions arranged by the
management of the institution proved
very popular, particularly the baseball
tournaments of the Eighth ward and
City leagues, which were formed of
boys fourteen and sixteen years old,
respectively.
Supervisor Arthur Leland recounted
the history Of the work in his report
and showed the effect of the operation
of the grounds was to stimulate work
in the schools and to lessen the cigar
cite habit among the boys, while at
the same time it gave the girls needed
exercise and development.
The treasurer's report showed that
the receipts for the year were $2,511,
and the expenditures $2,4S8. OF the re-
ceipts 1904 were the proceeds of the
baseball game between the Commercial
club and Town and Country club teams.
The game, which was won by the Com
mercial club, proved the means of
keeping the grounds open during the
early fall months. The report particu-
larly thanks the papers for the enthu-
siastic manner in which the game was
advertised.
The point is made that the cost of
maintaining the grounds will be COM
paratively small after they are once
fully ready and recommends the ex-
penditure of the full $4,000 provided
by the charter amendment in adequate

When E NJ. Ashe, the illustrator went down to

upon with good deal of suspicion by the fnhabit-
ants of the village. especially the tradespeople.
They could not understand who did not take
the 40 train to work every morning and return
with more less regularity in the evening. After
eyng the newcomers askance for several days, the
butcher and the baker though they had not been
asked for credit. took the trouble to inform Mrs
Ashe You will have pay cash here" and the
mi1kman hoped that her husband would strike
something before long"
The Ashes meanwhile went serenely bout their
affairs and gave of their attention to having
the house they had taken fixed up 1t was large
old fashioned place. and. there were only three
in family besides the servants seemed much too
extensive for them. Add to which that Mr.. Ashe
having three of the rooms the back of the
house thrown into for a studio and several of
the floors planned, and the whispers. knowing winks
and innuendoes that began to circulate among the
/ denzens of Tottenville when they became con-
WINGED that Ashe was not en- the verge of bank
ruptcy will be understood.
These eliminated one Sunday In the appearance at
the house of buggy containing two men. which
drove unceremonously into the yard. The men got
tramped onto the porch. Mr.. Ashe had come out and
was observing these movements with rising tenn
perature The visitors gave him friendly nod and
one of them asked:
Though he did not like their manner Mr. Ashe
went in the house and brought out pitcher Of iced
"Oh, no. Said the man. this amt what we
want
Well said Mr. Ashe 'if you don't like this you
can find well across the road
needn't be afraid If us"
Z don't know what you are talking about" Mr.
Ashe said. but this is all you will get to drink
here"
The man approached step closer. We're all
right" he repeated. conhdentially. Give n

Are you sickf'' Mr.. Ashe asked.
No the man said, "but give drink. Wen
pay for it,
mo you won't" Mr.. Ashe said. You won't pay
for whiskey; or anything else here and the sooner
you get in that buggy and get out of this place the
better II will be for you. 1 keep whiskey In my
house, but I wouldn't give you drop II your
tongue were hanging out. Get'
The man explained then that he was officer OF
the law. and as Tottenve had been unable TO
ascrihe any other purposeto the extensive altera-
lions Mr., Ashe making in his house than its

TO investigate and had come to see II the excise
law was being violated.
