"mysterious woman scorned,' who
then. furnished the information by
which the authorities traced the fugi-
tive bank president to far-away
land?
AnG If the woman scorned" had
such intimate knowledge of the Mill
waukee State Bank, why are the au-
thorities protecting her, keeping her In
hiding and refraining from giving the
grand jury now sitting the advantage
of her exclusive knowledge?
These questions and many others all
lied TO them are being asked in all
parts of Chicago. The remarkable con-
trcternps in the Stensland case, by
which all of the directors but Theodore
Stensland were indicted, occasioned
criticism and surprise and formed the
topic of conversation among the wise
ones about the criminal court build
ing The general conclusion seems to
be that "there must have been some
sort of bargain with the states att
torney's office whereby Theodore was
to be immune from prosecution"

DISEASE IS Durable
Leprosy Declared to Be Hereditary to
Great Degree by Consul Eugene II.
Plumacher, of Maracaibo, Who Has
Devoted Life Study to Disease.

Washington, Sept. 13.-After dis
playing rare heroism by The devotion
of life time to the Study of leprosy,
Eugene H. Plumacher, American con-
sui at Maracaibo, Venezuela, has de-
cided that the dread malady Is not
contagious, but is hereditary to de-
gree not reached by any other disease
He has made an exhaustive report to
the state department, telling his per-
sonal attendance upon lepers, afflicted
in the most revolving form. His re-
port indicates that leprosy is durable,
but that there is little hope in Vene-
zeula. or other Latin American leper
colonies, where nutritious foods and
expensive drugs are rarely provided.
Plumacher, IN his report, says he
used secret medicine which he obtain
ed thru DR.. Boutwell,, now marshal OF
the supreme court of Porto Rico, on
ten lepers given into his special charge.
The cases embraced the most serious
forms of the disease and several class
es. His reports point out that the
treatment produced much good results,
but that the lack Of proper food made
absolute cure impossible. Plumachef
dropped the society of his friends TO
care for lepers and narrowly escaped
contracting the disease himself while
treating an afflicted boy. Plumacher
declares it is cruel to shun an aban-
doned leper He declares smallpox is
more contagious.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1S.-The pro-

democratic party has been prohibited
by. Premier Stolypin. Mr.. Stolypin's
decision was reached after the attitude
of the constitutional democrats in the
late parliament and their present ac-

According to prominent member of
this party, who visited the premier
to secure his support for the meeting
NJ Stolypin said he considered the
constitutional democrats to have been
an undesirable party in parliament
because their "respectability" was a
cloak for highly dangerous sedition
and criticism.

g.t3..p Of toll, because men like Alladin
and Zhilkin were at least outspoken.
The government and the world at

Is source of considerable alarm in

init that the amount of land to be

Particulars Of Massacre.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1S.-The re-
sumption Of telegraph communication
with Siedlce enabled the press of st.
Petersburg to present picture of the
conditions in the ravaged town, as IN
case Of the massacre at Bialysock.
Later messages greatly reduced the
number Of dead from that given in the
early reports. Property losses however
from fury and cupidity of the mob,
and destruction wrought by the bonn
bardment and subsequent fire, are
placed higher, running up into several
hundred thousand dollars.
Altho 1t is said officially that forty
four persons were killed, correspond
ents enumerated sixty-two corpses,
mostly Jews, which were gathered on
the street in houses, and in various
hospitals for burial. The number OF
corpses burned privately and consum-
ed in burning buildings may add an
other score to this number.
A pAtiful feature was the death from
thirst OF many wounded persons who
were abandoned by friends in the
houses from which the people were
forced to fee for their lives. The
firem,sn are searching deserted. houses
for bodies.
There is reason to believe, this attack
on the Jews is traceable to the mur-
der OF officials August 21, and events

1t is claimed he was rebuked by one
young lady, who accused him of being
a married man and told him never

she would De shown good time IT she
did. Accordingly on Saturday. the
last of August. she asked the manager
of the telephone company for vaca-
ton. which was granted her, and she
said she would be gone the following
week only AS she did not return at
the appointed time and no word was
heard from her another girl was en-

Des Moines, Sept. 13.-H. B. Dickin-
arrested in Corning late yesterday af-
ternoon and brought to Des Moines ut
2 O'clock this morning to tell what he
knows of Miss Irene Blydenburgh, and
answer the charge of being responsible
for her condition. Dickinson was kept
under arrest during the night at the
police station. and is obeying the in
structions of his attorney, not to talk.
Dickinson is solicitor for the Ameri-
can Life.
Dickinson, it is alleged, met the girl
in Eldora. There it is claimed he got
out with her in carriage and that,
with drinking and solicitation, accom-
plished her ruin. He discovered her
plight, 50 the girl claimed in her ante
mortem statement, and brought her to
this city. Here she was under the
care Of DR.. E. e. Gadd, employed, so
Gadd alleges, by Dickinson, taken to
the room in the Mrs. Cook boarding
house. S27 Sixth street, the rent of
which was paid by Dickinson, so Mrs.
Cook claims, and was then after an
effort was made to save her life, taken
to the M. Millias home, for a reason
not yet satisfactorily divulged.
1t was known to the police yester-
day that Dickinson was intimate with
the young woman and that she came
to Des Moines for the purpose of see
ing him. He was not in the city yes
terday, but was soon located in Corn
ing
Gadd Denies Criminal Practice.
DR.. Gadd, whose name was from the
first connected with the affair, was
thoroughly questioned by the police
yesterday To them he said that he
had been asked by the girl to take care
of her, and he had also been request
ed by H B. Dickinson to do SO.
According to his own story he re-
fused to perform the criminal opera
ton requested, but said he explained
that women had been known to UNDER
take it themselves. Then in case of
any accident the physician might be
called in and he could help her with
out running legal risks and prevent ia
tai consequences.
The doctor admitted yesterday that
when he took the case the girl herself
had tried to produce the abortion
which ended in her death. The doctor
said that he did all he could to save
her life but that the girl sbecame so
weak that it was necessary to move
her from the Cook rooming house to
the Hillias home. Mrs. Cook said yes
terday that H. B. Dickinson paid for
the room at her home. The police also
have witnesses to whom the girl has
talked in which they claim the girl
confessed the same thing to them
The confession of DR.. Gadd put new
light on the case. 1t then became Ger
tain that Dickinson was connected
with the case in an intimate way, but
it was not until his arrest that the
name of the girls alleged betrayer was
made public.

that the meeting was the best ever
held in the district preparatory to 4

and fifty republicans present They
represented the republicans of the

patters' and "progressives.' on this oc-
casion just plain republicans. There
was much plain talk about
the situation. Republicans ara
in the habit of fighting out
their petty differences within par
ty lines, and so there was no occasion
for mincing matters. For one thing, the
manner in which the republican state
committee has taken hold of the work
or organizing and is engaged in plan
ming for the election of the entire tick
ct and every republican who Is nomin-
ated for office, and is utterly and COM
pletey ignoring all factionaism and
