ROOK2 ~
Buchanan's
Wife
By Eustrs Niles Forrtan

Suppose you were a woman
young, loving, alive--and your
family had broken your engage
ment to the man you loved in
order to marry you to a rich man
who was rather a brute; and sup
pose that your husband suddenly
disappeared and left no trace. If
something then happened that
convinced every one but yourself
that he was dead, and your lover
wanted you to marry him, what
would you do!
This is the climax that Justus
Miles Forman skilfully leads up
to in his new novel. Then a
startling turn takes place, and in
cident after incident carries the
reader along in a rush Of surprise
and wonderment to the very end.
The story Of a wOman's fight for
love has never been better told.
1t is a masterpiece Of storytelling.

called theater distric TIM, ,ust end at one
O'Clock in the morning or else be
served without liquor, according to an
order issued by Acting Police Commits
sioner Waldo and which became ef-
fective yesterday.
When the late diners in several all
night restaurants in Sixth avenue and
upper Broadway had just about de-
cided that they were very comforta BILE
and noted that it was only one o'clock,
each house of entertainment was en-
tered by policeman in civilian dress,
who took a seat at a table which com
manded the best view of the establish

by the proprietors. Notification had
been sent early in the afternoon that
the policemen would be there prompt
ly at the hour when the excise law
says the sale Of spurious or fermented
liquor must cease until i've o'clock in
the morning. The manage at once
ordered the bars closed and those who
did not wish to eat took their de-
parture.
It was said by one conversant of af-

would be no cessa ton of vigilance on
the part OF the police until the public
was educated to appreciate the neces-

Female Students Worked Up Mutiny
Among the Sailors

St. Petersburg. Aug. 9.-In view of the
improvement in the situation a number
of guard regiments have already return
ed to their summer camps at Tsarskoe-
Selo. The emperor has arranged to go
there Saturday and spend five days.
These imperial visits to the guards

the imperial family will soon make
their proposed visit to Finnish waters.

the government to fight counter revo-

moderate public opinion equally hostile
to both extremes viii grow rapidly
The Novoe Vremya, taking as its text
the failure to employ summary execu-
ttons as a deterrent to mutinies, com
plains that for years it has been felt
that the government has not understood
how to employ flrmness. Instead of the
iron hand in the velvet glove" there
has been a putty hand clothed in an
iron glove" which irritates everything
1t touches without having any power
behind it.
The Bourse Gazette makes the start

tionary agitation conducted among the
sailors at Cronstadt was through uni
versity girl students, who frequented
public houses, paTonized by the sailors
in order to bring them under their in

Moscow, Aug. 9.-The resumption of

kEI III lkAGEDIs
Anna HeId's Husband Knows
How 1t Happened.
Makes Public Thaw's Motive for
Killing White.
STARTED FROM JOKE.
Chorus Girls Called at the
Architects Rooms.
He Was Out and Mrs. Thaw's
Name Was Left.
Call Acknowledged With a Note
and Flowers.

New York. Aug. s.-The Herald to-
day says
New and Important evidence provid-
ing a plausible motive for the killing
Of Stanford White has lately come into
District Attorney Jerome's possession.
The inklingof the facts was conveyed to
the district attorney indirectly from
Florenz zeigfeld, a theatrical mana
ger, who is the husband of Anna Held,
and who is at present living in Paris.
The story Is that Mr.. White sent a
note and g. basket Of flowers to Mrs.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw the afternoon OF
the shooting, and that the tragedy
grew out of the thoughtless mischief
Of three chorus girls.
Mr.. Zeigfeld Is quoted as saying that
q young woman. very well known to
the amusement loving New York pub
lie told him that she accompanied two
other members Of Zeigfeld's old COM
pany to pay a farewell visit TO Mr..
White in the tower OF Madison Square
Garden the night prior to Mr.. Whites
death. They were to sail IN a few days
for Europe. Mr.. White was not there
and as they we're leaving the place an
attendant asked what names he should
report to Mr.. White as those OF his
visitors.
"Ohl OH" said one Of the girls
laughing, you need only say that Mrs.
Harry Thaw called"
Next day Mr.. White. according to
this girl, sent note to Mrs. Thaw ex-
pressing his regret at his absence at
the time of her call and dispatched q
basket of roses to her address.
MY informant believed" said zeig-
field, that Thaw saw the roses. read
the card attached and perhaps read the
note which accompanied them"
Because he was not furnished knife
and fork with his meal Harry K. Thaw
quarreled with the prison caterer, who
has been furnishing him food Today
Thaws breakfast consisted of plain
prison fare. He ordered his luncheon
from q nearby hotel. The caterer said
that Thaw insisted upon having a knife
and fork though knowing that 1t was
against the prison rules to furnish them
to prisoners charged with capital
offenses. He said Thaw complained SO
often to him that he determined to
serve him no longer. It it said that when
Thaw was first placed IN the Tombs.
Warden Flynn suggested he order such
food as could be easily eaten without
the use of a knife and fork as no excep-
ton would be made in his case.

DROPS IT.
Won't Appeal Their Color Line Case
to Supreme Court.

The city of Coffeyville has notified the
supreme court of the United States that
it has decided to change its mind. and
not appeal the celebrated Bud Cart
wright case. This is the case involving
the right of the Coffeyville board Of
education to refuse colored pupils adj
mission to the white schools.
Bud Cartwright's daughter tried to
attend the school which her grade en-
titled her to attend. but the board of
education refused to permit it. Cart
wright at once hired lawyers, and
commenced an original mandamus
proceeding in the supreme court of the
state The supreme court held that the
board of education had no right to re-
fuse admission to Cartwrights daugh-
ter, and allowed the writ Of mandamus.
The members of the Cofeyyiile
school board were so mad that they
declared they would appeal the case to
the supreme court of the United States.
They sent their papers and transcript
of the record but failed to complete the
necessary proceedings for filing the
case. Instead they left the matter open,
and today a letter was received from
the clerk of the United States supreme
court announcing that the Coffeyville
attorneys had decided to withdraw
their appeal

BENSON SPEAKS UP.
Senator Says That Passes Should Be
Abolished.

Senator A w. Benson has replied to
the sStubbs questions which were
sent to him by James A. Troutman,
president of the Square Deal club.
Senator Benson's answer to the uues-
tions is direct and uneqaivocal, and IS
one of the strongest endorsements
which the Square A3eal people have
thus far had. This Is the letter:
Ottawa, Kan, Aug. 8. 1906:
''Mr. James A. Troutman. Topeka,
Kan.
Dear Sir:
Il have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter. with certain
questions to candidates for state and
legislative offices.
LAS requested by you, give you my
views upon the issues presented BY
these questions.
Il believe that properly framed
primary election law, carefully drawn,
to protect the interests, and give fair
expression to the preferences of the
voters of all sections of the state,
would be of great public benefit, and
ought to be passed by the next legis-
lature, providing for the nomination Of
all officers. including United States
senators by a direct vote of the people
of all parties at the same time.
"All property not exempt therefrom,
should be assessed and taxed at an
equal and uniform rate, as provided III
cludeS railroad property. All property
should be assessed at its actual value;
then railroad property would neces-
sarily be assessed upon the same
basis as other property The consti-
tuition requiring uniformity and equal
ity, and the statute requiring assess
ments to be made at the real value,
are alike openly disregarded, to the
common knowledge of the people.
There is in practice now, no uniform
basis of aSSessm ent for property other
than railroad property. Equality is
equity.
The free pass should be abolished
by state, as well as federal statute To
accomplish this end Mr.. Pringle intro
duced a bill at the last session of the
legislature. Your proposition includes
an exception in favor Of employees; I
suggest also that caretakers of live
stock accom- mpanying shipments, should
be excepted Possibly other exceptions
guarded, but these will not affect the
principle. Along with the abolition Of
the pass, provision should be made for
the payment by the public, of the
travelling expenses of public officers
while on official business requiring
such travel where no provision is now
made by law for such expenses.
"As the railroads, with the pass in
use, now carry passengers at maxi
mum rate of three cents per mile 1t is
fair deduction that the saving to the
companies by the abolition of the pass,
will be a sufficient reason for q GORE
spending reduction in fares; and this
reduction should be to as low rate as
conditions will Justify.
Very respectfully,
"a. W. BENSON

Standard Oil Company Sends Attor-
neys to Sycamore HILL

Oyster Bay, L. L, Aug. e.-President
Roosevelt was appealed to by the
Standard Oil company today in the
matter of its controversy with the de-
partment of the interior regarding oil
line leases in the Indian Territory. For
mer Senator James K. Jones, of Ar
kansas, representing the company in a
legal capacity, and Mr.. BarnesdaIe of
Pittsburg, representing the company
directly, were callers at Sycamore Hill.
They arrived on the morning train and
after spending several hours with the
president returned to New York in an
automobile. Both declined to discuss
the object of their visit.
Mr.. Jones said the call related pure
ly to matter of business and he re-
fused to say what results were ac-
complished The oil lease controversy
in the Indian Territory has been a
matter of lively contention before the
department of the interior for some
time and the status of these leases
was made the subject of protracted
consideration by congress in the recent
statehood legislation.
