Washington, .. c.
Washington, Dec. S.-The navy de-
partment has received an official report
from Rear Admiral J. E. Craig, COM
mandant at League Island navy yard,
Philadelphia, denying that there has
been any theft from the cruiser Min
neapolis. The handsome silver service
presented to the ship by the city of
that name, as well as all other articles
Of value belonging to the ship; he says,
are safely deposited in the vault of the
general storekeeper at the navy yard.
The Minneapolis has been put out of
commission, which means that only
enough men are kept aboard her to do
police and janitor duty. The silver
service was taken away and put in
storage as soon as the ship went out
of commission, and it's absence being
noted one day, the story Of an alleged
theft was started, and before the
storekeeper or the commandant could
Be communicated with, both being at
that time absent from the yard, wide
publicity was given the matter. The
story Of the theft was published in ali
the. New York. Philadelphia and
Washington newspapers, as we'll as in
fhs e7s baa Ss} BIT B etg t tbs aaeSs
before the mistake was discovered. ~

a ballot for ten persons, all Of which at
hve minutes after;six were declared duly

Not From What You Eat, But

road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard

WH|TE HOUSE SILENT
AFTER s3T0RER ATTACK
President, However, Is Expected
to Make Vigorous
Answer.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Washington, Dec. e.-No statement
was Forthcoming at. the White House
today concerning former Ambassador
Bellamy Storer's sensational attack on
President Roosevelt. It is intimated,
however, that the president will make
a reply to Mr.. Storer, and that the
incident will not be considered closed
until both sides to the controversy
have been placed before the public.
If the president makes reply, it is
expected that it will be in his Gus
tomary vigorous style. There are, few
people in the United States who have
engaged in controversies with Mr..
Roosevelt by correspondence who know
what that means.
Families Are Related.
Additional interest attaches to- the
break between Storer and President
Roosevelt because Of the fact that thru
marriage the two families are related.
Mrs. Storer is a sister of the father
of Representative Nicholas Longworth.
who but recently became the :presi-
dent g son-in-law. For this reason: and
because of the close personal intimacy
that existed for years between the
Roosevelts and the Storers, it has been
regarded as almost incredible that there
could! be such serious breach in their
relations.
From sources close to the White
House it is learned that the president
has complete record of all his cor
respondence with MI. and Mrs. Storer,
dating back to the time when Mr..
Roosevelt was governor of New York.
1t is stated also that Mr.. Storer has
made public only comparative few of
the letters that were EXCHANGED and
that the president has number Of
letters which he received from Mrs.
Storer, or from Mr.. Storer, that will
put very different aspect on the con-
troversy when they are published. That
the president will make public all the
letters that have any bearing on the
affair, it he decides to make a state
ment, is taken for granted.

HANG NE, HECR|ES
ACCUSED Of CRIME
Fortune Teller Raves in
= Court When Held for
Poisoning Family.
BY Publishers Press.

, BY Publishers Press
Chicago, Dec. S.-Raging at his &C.
cusers and crying "Hang me! Hang
mel, to the judges questions, Herman
Billek. hypnotist and fortune teller,
was held without bail today on the
charge Of numbering his friend, Martin
Vrzal, the latter's wife and their tve
children. Mrs. Billek was held as ac-
cessory after the fact.
Discovery of poison in the ashes
from stove in the Vrzal home today
tiqhtened the net of circumstantial evil
dence about Billek. The ashes had
been emptied into an alley where
chicken was killed while searching the
ash heap for food. stigation
proved that it had been poisoned with
arsenic The police theory is that the
poison was thrown into the stove by
Billek after the Vrzals' death that it
might not be found in the house. Bill
lex admits that Mrs. Vrzal: the last
of seven members Of his family to sue
cumb, wanted him to poison his mother
in Cleveland to get $4,000 the latter
= was said to own.
3 Sent Son for Money.
stI have not $40 in the house," Mrs.
Vrzal wrote from Chicago to Billek,
then in Cleveland, in one letter which
has fallen into the hands Of the police.
81 am asking you to help me out. You
had better give the old lady poison
now and you can keep yourself out
of it some way. If you ever did love
me you would have done that for me
l long, ago. y; l send you thousand
Jerry Vrzal, aged IT,, survivor Of
him to Cleveland soon after this letter
was written with an empty valise
which she expected he would have
filled with money at Mrs. Billek g
home, and was very angry when he re-
turned penniless, so she made the trip
herself later and was still angrier when
she too returned empty handed.
Billek laughed when he heard this
story and frankly confessed to the po-
lice that he had "conned' the Vrzals
for a long time that he might get
money from them, but that he never
planned to kill his mother or anyone
else.
Heard Prisoners Plot.
Police Attorney Comerford is au-
thority for the statement that Jerry
Vrzal says he has overheard many con-
versations between Billek and Mrs.
Vrzal concerning the ACCESSIBILITY of
poisoning other members of the Vrzal
family.
Mrs. Billel1, who often quarreled with
her husband concerning his relations
with Mrs. Vrzal, says she ate nothing
that he gave her lest there be poison
in it, and her brother, John Dermok,
says his sister often told him she feared
Billek would kill her.
The police declare themselves at a
loss to determine whether to suspect
that Billek finally grew tired of Mrs.
Vrzal and poisoned her, or whether to
believe she toook her own life. One
theory they are working on is that she
killed herself while hypnotized by
Billek.
Detectives were sent to Billek's for
mer home in Cleveland today to learn
all they can of his past life.

her bank funds in Boston. --s .~.-s[ = .
Mrs. Verrault stoutly declared that her
intention all along was an honest one
and that she was really In search of a.

her, and not in quest of Suckers" as
