BANKER Is STILL ALIVE.
Insurance Company Demands Back
Life Insurance Paid,
NOW IN INSANE ASYLUM
Niles (Mich.) Case Revived by President
of Bank for Whom G. A. Kim
nell Worked.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 16.-With the
discovery of G. A. Kimmell, once a
wealthy banker of Niles, Mich, in
cover $4,000 life insurance paid to his
sister in Chicago has been begun by the
New York Life Insurance company.
Thought Dead for Years.
Fer seven years Mr.. Kimmell presum-
ably was dead. Pinkerton detectives
traced him to Topeka and Kansas City,
where he is said to have cashed a draft
for $500 on his own bank and to have
disappeared July 80, 1898. His sister to
whom the policy was made over is said
to be Mrs. Edna *. Bonslett.
Mrs. Bonslett could not be found to-
day, but at the Pinkerton detective
agency it was stated that there were
persons in Chicago who could tell her
wherea bout. 1t was at the instance of
Z. A. Johnson, a relative of kimmell,
that the detectives began a search after
the missing man. The search was aban-
doned after it was found that the banker
! Lad fingered for two days at Kansas
| City hotel and then dropped out of sight
completely. Nothing was heard of him
until he was identified at the New York
asylum.
Given Position in Kansas.
johnson was president of the First
National bank of Miles, He is said to
have been interested in a banking insti-
tuition at Arkansas City, Kas. Kimmell
was gwen position as cashier of this
bank.
Information from Kansas City last
night was to the effect that Kimmell left
Arkansas City July %, 1898. He went
direct to Topeka, where he sold $4,000
worth of Creswell township bonds He
sent the money from the sale to the
Farmers National bank of Arkansas
City, where he was the cashier
Almmell was expected to return at
once, bringing the money from the bond
sale instead of sending it back. Instead
he left Topeka on an early afternoon
train of that day for Kansas City. At
the Midland hotel there he received a
draft for $500 which he cashed An
hour later he entered cab with three
men and that is the last, so far as there
is any record here, seen of Kimmell in
Kansas City.
Insurance Money Is Paid
Since then Johnson is said to have
been unable to explain certain discrep-
ancies in his account at the Niles bank.
The insurance policy on Kimmelfs life
was paid after, it is said, Johnson
had held it for time as security
for debts amounting to $4,000 that Kim
NELL owed him. Some litigation to re-
cover the insurance policy is said to have
ia ken place before the document was
placed in Mrs. Bonsletts hands.
"kimmell was single man." said Mr..
schumacher last night. He lived fast
and spent his money freely No tenden-
cles toward insanity had been noticed in
him to my knowledge prior to his disap-
pearance."

FEVER FIGHT NEARS END.
Authorities at New Orleans Hope to
Drive Out Scourge by October
IS at Latest.

NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept 1S.-
Though hope that the fever would be
eradicated by the first of October was
some time ago abandoned, general en-
enlargement is felt that the fight will
be virtually at an end fifteen days later
than the day set.
Two positive cases have been reported
from Kentwood, q lumber town in Tan
gipahoa parish, not far from the Mssis-
sippi line. These are the first cases in
that vicinity.
The noon yellow fever report follows
New cases since 6 P. N. Sunday, IL;
total cases to date, 1882; deaths today, );
total deaths, $40. Today's report shows
more deaths from yellow fever in New
Orleans than have been reported in the
morning hours for a week or more. The
number of Lew cases, however, shows no
material increase

MORRIS BUYS NOTED PLACE.
house Built by Grandfather of Harvard's
Founder Now His.

Edward Morris, vice president of Nell
son Morris d Co, has become the own
er OF the Harvard homestead at STRAIT
ford-on-Avon, England, the house built
in 1896 by the grandfather Of John Har-
ward. who founded Harvard university
Marie Corelli, the English novelist act
ed as Mr.. Morris agent, and the nrice
paid is said to have been close to $4,000
If Mr.. Morris accepts the suggestion of
Miss Corelli. who urged him to purchase
the property, he will convert it into a
clubhouse for the accommodation and
entertainment of the thousands of Amer
leans who annually make a pilgrimage,
to the birthplace of Shakespeare. The
quaint old dwelling in High street, not
far from the birthplace of the poet long
has been one of the principal objects of
interest at Stratford, and its purchase
by Mr.. Morris has attracted consider
able attention in England. 1t is the.
intention of Mr.. Morris to restore the
house to its original picturesqueness.
Some parts of it need repairs, though
the facade, which is its more interesting
portion, on account of the elaborate
carving, is in a remarkably good state
of preservation, Mr.. Morris says.

SPEED IN BUILDING CANAL
President Would Like Sea Level
Waterway Across Panama.
TIME MORE IMPORTANT
If It Will Endanger or Delay Work to
Garry Out Pet Idea, He Favors
Another.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 10
President Roosevelt is urging in the
strongest terms the necessity for a plan
for the construction of the Panama canal
which may be accomplished in the short
est possible time. Remarks to the con-
sulting board of engineers of the 18TH
milan canal have just been Transcribed
and transmitted to the board here, and
Gen. Davis, its chairman, has been au
shorized to make them public.
What the President Said.
The President said: What I am
about to say must be considered in the
light of suggestion, not as direction. I
have named you because, in my judg-
ment, you are especially fitted to serve as
advisers In planning the greatest engi-
neering work the world has yet seen; and
l expect YOU to advise me, not what you
think | want to hear, but what you think
ought to hear
Wants Sea Level Canal.
There are two or three considerations
which l trust you will steadily keep be-
fore your minds in coming to a con.
clusion as to the proper type of canal. /
hope that ultimately it will prove pos
slble to build a sea-level canal / feel
that one of the chief advantages of the
Panama route is that ultimately a sea
level canal viii be possibility
But, while paying due heed TO the
ideal perfectibility of the scheme from
an engineers standpoint, remember the
need of a plan which shall provide for
the immediate building of a canal on the
safest terms and in the shortest possible
time. If to build q sea-level canal will
but slightly increase the distance, then,
Of course, it is preferable But if to
adopt the plan of sea-level canal means
to incur our hazard, and to insure in
definite delay, then it is not preferable.
Speed Is the Thing.
"The delay in transit of the vessels
owing to additional locks would be of
small consequence when compared with
shortening the time for the construction
of the canal of diminishing the risks in
it's construction"

JAPAN STANDS
BY AMERICANS.
ANTI-PEACE TREATY VIOLENCE IS
REVIEWED BY SECRETARY
TAFT.
HIS Party Not Harmed; On the Con
trary, He Was Heartily Received
Credit for Brown Men.

TOXIC, Sept. is, p. m-Anti-neace
treaty demonstrations continue ia no
held in different localities, the meetings
passing condemnatory resolutions, but
there has been no further violence The
members of the progressive party are
united, but the constituencies are di-
vlded in their attitude toward the peace
settlement, some branches having passed
resolutions contradictory Of the pro-gov-
eminent statement of it's terms.
Not Against Americans.
OYSTER BAY, L. l., Sept. 1S.-Sec-
Rotary Taft, III a cablegram from Toxic,
has conveyed to the President assurance
OF the japanese government that the
recent riots We're not anti-American dem
onstrations.
Secretary Taft says the rioting has
subsidized. Members of his party have
not been subjected to the least indig-
NIFTY He expresses confidence that the
friendship of Japan for America is abid-
ing.
Text of Secretary Taft's Dispatch.
-, Following is the text of Secretary
Tafts dispatch, which was made public
by directions of the President:
The japanese government is very anxious
that the disturbance in Toxic and other
towns should not be considered as anti
American demonstrate tons. They say they
arose as follows: Many tof the Japanese
people were disappointed because their
hopes in respect to the results of the war
had been greatly exaggerated by unexpect-
ed and uniform victories.
Those people in Toxic wished in a peace
able manner, to protest on the subject; but
the police authorities of Toxic unwisely and
Illegally sought to restrain a legitimate
popular demonstration, and SO met resist
ance
This created riot and at once placed con-
troll of the movement in the hands of the
lowest elements and made a mob without
conscience, which was hostile to the po-
lice especially, and only incidentally to
foreigners who got in the way. There was
no movement directed against Americans or
foreigners such.
The disturbances have subsidized entirely
and there is not the slightest evidence of d
continued riot.
Members of entire party visited all
parts of Japan since the riot at Toxic, and
not one member has been subjected to any
indignity at all. I hope that you will
deem it wise to give publicity to this dis
patch in justice to the Japanese govern
ment and people.

MISSISSIPPI IS
ON A RAMPAGE.
Missouri, KaW and Other Western
Tributaries at Flood
Stages.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 1S.-Heavy
rains and swollen tributaries have caused
a rise of over 10 feet in the Mississippi
river during the past twenty-four hours
and resulted in damage along the st.
Louis river front amounting to many
thousands of dollars.
vast amount Of produce and other
shipping property along the levee is still
in danger. The river stage this forenoon
had reached 23.O1 feet, sudden rise OF
1905 feet in twenty-four hours. The
danger line is 30 feet.
The water is gradually creeping up and
it is predicted ihat by nlghtfall the gauge
will show q stage of 26 feet.
Produce houses and grain and cotton
farms having consignments stored along
the levee hastily organized gangs of la
bOrers and endeavored to save their
property from being swept away, but the
suddenness of the freshet interfered to
a considerable extent.
Thousands of barrels of apples, baled
hay, sacks Of grain, bales of cotton and,
in one instance, $4,000 feet of lumber
were swept away. Men worked breast
deep in the flood intercepting floating
merchandise.
Six city garbage boats, moored along
the river front, are III danger Of being
swamped.
Washouts at various places in Mis-
souri, caused the annulment today of five
trains due here. They were the Texas
accommodation of the Missouri, Kan
saS & Texas, two trains due from Kan
sas City on the Missouri Pacific and
two trains due from the west on the
Wabash.
