COREY DIVORCE CASE CALLED
Work Of Selecting a Jury Now in
PROGRESS,


Progress. ~
Reno, New, July 31.-The air of
mystery being thrown over the Corey
divorce case by attorneys attracted
the most interest when it was called
for trial in the Second district court
of Nevada at Reno. Mrs. Corey, at
tended by her son, Allan Corey, and
her sister-in:law, Miss Corey, ap-
peared in court. William E.. Corey,
president of the United States Steel
corporation, defendant in the action,
is not present. He is represented by
T. L. Chadbourn of Pittsburg and Sar-
dis Sumerfield of Reno, formerly Unit
ed States district attorney.
The plaintiff at once demanded a
jury trial and the task of selecting a
Jury is now in progress. Each juror
Is being closely questioned in regard
to his scruples upon the matter of
divorce and his knowledge of the pres
ent case. -a.... .~.. ..a-.
Mrs. Corey again fatty declined to
make statement "You must excuse
me- she said, simply, when ques-
toned. what have to say will be-
come public when am placed on the
witness stand"
None of the attorneys involved
would make statement outlining the
line of defense or prosecution. They
have declined to be interviewed by
newspaper men.

DETECTIVE ON THE STAND.
Swears to Breaking Open Coachman's
Trunk and Securing Letters.

Trunk and Securing Letters.
Pittsburg, July 31-When the trial
Of Augustus Hartje's application for
divorce from Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje
was resumed the first witness called
was John B. Staubb, an operative for
private detective agency.
The witness testified that he had
visited Coachman Madness room twice
and, with John a. Anderson, another
detective, had broken open Madness
trunk and removed the famous love
letters. He identified the court ex-
hibits as the missives taken.
During Staubb's testimony Mrs.
Hartje appeared uneasy and then
angry, while her husbands manner
was apparently one of cool inditfer-
ence Nadine came into court while
the witness was still on the stand and,
after listening intently to the testi-
mony for a time, hurriedly left the
courtroom.
Staubb was subjected to a vigorous
:ross-eXamination and the relation of
the methods and code of signals which
he and his brother detective used in
procuring the letters caused much
amusement.
Staubb was unable to tell what
other articles were in the trunk and
several times became badly tangled
under the fire of questions. Detective
Anderson was then called to the stand
and corroborated Staubb's details of
the taking of the letters.

FUGITIVE BEHIND the BARS
FORMER MAYOR OF PATTERSON,
N. j., FORCED BY POVERTY Il
TO GIVE HIMSELF UP. :.

Paterson, N. j., July S1.-William
H. Belcher, former mayor of this city,
returned to Paterson early in the day
on a train on the Erie railroad and
surrendered himself to David Morris,
night warden of the county Jail.
Belcher was forced by his poverty
to give himself up. He had been in
New York for several days. He de.
clared he had no means with which to
make restitution of the funds which
he is alleged to have obtained before
he fed from the city and that he was
back to answer the charges against
him.
Relcher has not been out of the
country, in spite of rumors that he
was in the Hawaiian islands and
China. Since his, disappearance he
has wandered about the country, OBJ
tanning employment where and when
he could. and was finally forced by
stress of circumstances to return to
the city where he once had friends.
Belcher has been missing since Aug.
1, 1905: At the time he left Paterson
few of his closest friends were ready
to draw him out of financial difficult
ties. They did not know at the time
that he was charged with having OBJ
tanned $4,000 by fraudulent represen-
tation and that $4,000 was taken from
the Manchester Building and Loan
association, of which he was the pres
ident. 81 = -
What Belcher did with the money
he obtained has never been told. He
neither smoked nor drank, was an
exemplary family man and had never
got into any difficulties. -.+,2j5. -. :: :

Des Moines, July 31.-The Repub-

which will be held here "wednesday.
The counties in the state are entitled
to 1,640 delegates. About 200 seats

will depend upon the action of the
state committee regarding these con.
tests. =
Governor Cummins, who is candi-

majority of tie delegates. The ad-
herents of George D. Perkins, who is
also candidate 1pr governor, maintain
that there wereairregularities in quite
a number of the county conventions
and have contested and protested the
delegations selected by the majority
in such conventions. If the state CEN

matter of contested seats and to pre-

'DoWIE WILL APPEAL CASE

Chicago, July 31.-John Alexander
Dowie will appeal from the decision of
Judge Landis of the federal court de-
claring Zion City a trust estate and
holding that the deposed first apostle
has no individual proprietorship in the
estate.
Dowie himself made the announce
ment that action toward an appeal
has been taken at meeting at Shiloh
House, Zion City, attended by nearly
100 of his loyal supporters. Whether
the appeal will be taken to the United
States supreme court or to the United
States circuit court of appeals has not
been decided definitely.
In his address Dowie appeared to
be more concerned over Judge Landis'
denuEciation of the restoration host
oath" as reasonable than any other
point in the opinion. He declared that
the judge himself in his oath of Office
was compelled to put God above man
and family ties .-...
Received No Money as Trustee.
With regard to the trust estate find
ing, he declared that he had never
received money as a trustee, but that
it was always simply matter of con-
tract, evidenced in writing, showing
all payments to be debts, payable in
one year on call.
If the election ordered by Judge
Landis be carried out, he said, the
people of Zion will be violating the
whole theocratic idea, the very foun-
dation stone of the church. He EN-
phasized that the people had not called
him nor placed him as head of the
church, but that he, as Gods chosen
man, had admitted each individual
member into the church. He held fur
ther that Judge Landis erred in confin-
ing the vote to those living in Zion
City. These constitute only one-fourth
of the entire church and thereby three
fourths of the members are prevented
from having~a voice as to their spirit,
