Millionaire Declares Wax
Figure Mas Buried for

Donovan Will E1hu1ne Coffin,
Saying It Will Prove

Journal Special Service. tz.4
~ HICAGO,, Nov. 3.-James Donovan,
millionaire lumberman, will this
week exhume tho coffin at Big
Rapids, Mich, which is supposed to
contain the remains Of LAHORE S. Baker,
alleged defaulting cashier Of the North
ern National bank Of that city, for the
avowed purpose of showing that wax
figure was really buried in the coffin.
Baker, asserts the millionaire, who is
after the scalp Of Senator Thomas C.
Platt, is alive and well, and was last
seen in May, headed for Honolulu. The
wax figure, he alleges, was prepared in
New York to resemble the former cash
Ter and then sent by express to Big
Rapids for the purpose Of deceiving
those who sought the arrest and con-
,viction Of the man who robbed banks
of 100000 and brought death and
desolation to a score of homes.
Senator Platt Involved.
e The thread Of the narrative that is
fastened at one end to the alleged wax
figure extends half way around the
world. It touches the highest official
life in Washington, jumps over. into
high finance, in, New York and takes
with it a glance into London life. The
present wife of Thomas G. Platt and
Miss Mae Wood, who alleges that she
is also the wife, come into the lime
light, both in chorus and in tragedy
roles. -. co., ..,t.s. -. J.. I
After the exhumation of the coffin
and the examination Of what Donovan
insists is wax figure, he will go to
New Z ork for the purpose of continu.
ing a fight that he had waged for
years and upon which He has spent
thousands of dollars.
The story told by Mr.. Donovan is
one Of the dime moves sort that makes
fiction: taae q poor second place. He
charges that Baker, himself made the
victim of the associations that clung
about Senator Plat, deliberately set
about the ruin Of the senator, and
wrought this ruin by introducing to
him Carrie. Thompson, who is now his
wife. AL the details Of this story have
been given to the public in other
stories concerning. the. Michigan lum-
Der scandal in which the Platt inter
sests have.been attacked =:
Donovan asserts that when Baker
left Michigan he came to Chica go, and
here met Carrie Thompson while she
was a member Of the chorus of the
11Black Crook ," company, and from
this acquaintanceship came the plan to
take her east and have her meet and
capture =, the senator. An. intimate
knowledge Of the susceptibility of, the
senator was possessed by the cashier,
and he unfolded his plans to his friends
without reserve. ~.:,.. =. .-.,.. -. -.
Baker went from Chicago to New
York, where reports came that he had
died, and shortly after there came a
coffin with instructions that the re-
mains should not be exposed. Even
when Baker Is wife, who had left him,
desired to kiss the dead face she was
not permitted to do SO. .@.>l ,z !,
Donovan now asserts that the reason
for the refusal was that the coffin
contained only a figure of wax.

The whole continent of Europe has
been astounded by a series of revelations
contained in a work just published in
Berlin by the son of the late chancellor
of the German empire, Prince Hohenlohe.
These revelations are partly Of a do
nestle character and partly diplomatic.
They appear to have intensely irritated
the emperor, and he wired to the head
of the family, who was. not responsible
for the editing or publishing of the book
The story of Bismarck's dismissal is told
with a clear hint that one point Of differ
encef between the prince and his imperial
master was that the chancellor desired
to throw over Austria and let Russia oc-
cupy Bulgaria, whereas the kaiser was
faithful to- his ally. This publication will
do the triple alliance no harm, but it may

Grated.

A special from Keokuk, Iowa. says:
Hugh L. Cooper, the Wall street en-
gineer who solved the problem of how
to harness the waters of Niagara and
who drew the plans which made it
possible to accomplish that greatest
of all feats in the line of electrical de-
velopment, proposes to build a dam
5000 feet long across the Mississip
pi river at Keokuk, at the foot of what
is known as the Des Moines rapids
Here where the forces Of the father
OF waters are the strongest and wild
est, for distance of twelve miles he
has evolved a plan to build the i'm

Greek physicists will be answered in
the changed commercial conditions in
the heart of the American nation.
Large dams have been built before
albeit none so large as the proposed
dam at Keokuk, which, It is expected
will be built within the next two
years. The great Niagara Falls prop.
osition was so enormous that for a
time the country laughed and said
that it was not possible to so control
the mighty forces there as to get
100000 horse power for commercial
purposes.
211,5oo Horse Power.
But wnen the worlds greatest dam
here is completed, the immense pow
er house, 1868 feet long, will contain
forty-seven immense generators, with
capacity Of $500 horse power each,
or maximum capacity of 211,500, to
be utilized in operating the Industrial
wheels in many cities.
There was time not so many years
ago when the wise ones said 1t was as

this point as it would be to try to STOP
the flow Of the tides or tOchange the
course Of the moon in it's orbit. The
force of the rapids is so strong thai

the feasibility Of the project, and near.
" 100000 has already been expend
ed in preliminary work. Surveys
have been made from Keokuk to Bur.
lington, and it has been determined
that in the neighborhood of 5000 acres
OF valuable farming lands will be un-
water, the overflow extending thirty
i've miles up stream. Options on q
large part Of these lands are already
seucred and the work is continuing
as rapidly as possible.
Dam Thirty-Five Feet High.
The great dam, which will be thirty
five feet in height, will extend in a
grand curve across the river from the
end OF the power house. In order to
admit of the passage of boats there
will be one lock on the Iowa side, in.
stead Of three, as in the canal, which
will be drowned deeply, while the gov
eminent will save $4,000 a year in
operating expenses alone.

has been solved in the matter of the
elevation of the tracks of the Bur
lington road, which run near the
shore between Keokuk and Burlington
There We're but two ways to get
around this ticklish proposition-eitn-
er the road must procure new right
of way and come into KeOkuk by a
different route or the tracks must be
elevated. The latter was decided up
on after several conferences between
Engineer Cooper and the officials OF
the water power company and the
road. For twenty-five miles the
tracks must be moved back and rails.
ed twenty-five feet or more, and the
chief engineers of the road have de.
termined how this can b done and at
the same time cut down the running
time of it's trains between the two
cities as much as ten minutes.
Settling PreIiminaries.
AS soon as the exact cost of the
work can be computed the syndicate
of Canadian capitalists who provided
the money for the work at Niagara
will make their decision. They have
already said that they want to bu''c
the dam, but they will not give out the
positive statement as to the date Wh.n
the work will be started until they
know exactly what the cost is gc'ns
to be.
They are profiting by the exper
fence gained at Glen's Falls, Pa, whe'e
they built a dam across the SusQue
hanna, but began the work before they
had acquired possession Of all the lane
necessary. The result was that they
encroached on the rights Of the owEel
of a little island, which the owner
bought for 800. But when it came
to squaring matters with this mar
they had to pay him $4,000 before
he would be satisfied. That is why
they are so careful to have all the
preliminaries out of the way before
they turn loose their 1000 men al
