Cash and Gems From Adnirer.

New York, Nov 14--Clad in a be-
coming red gown trimmed with pro-
fusion Of lace and wearing black pic
ture hat, Mrs. Bina T. Verrault, alias
Helen Hamilton, alias Florence Mont
gomery, an alleged head of a "love
syndicate" appeared before United
States Commissioner Shields to answer
complaints made against her by Leo
Keisler, an insurance broker, who
charges her with having defrauded him
through promises of matrimony.
Keisler took the witness stand and
glibly told Of his love affairs with the
fair defendant.
He told first of having inserted an
advertisement in newspaper in Octo-
Der, 1905, which was answered, among
others, by Miss Florence Montgomery
Letters passed, he said, in which each
wrote the other of their mutual impress
sions and also exchanged photographs.
Then they dined at the Waldorf A let
ter was offered in evidence in which.
the defendant said she had been una
BILE to sleep thinking OF the complain
ant.
Mr.. Keisler told then of having dis
cussed matrimony with the defendant.
Then, he said, came the purchase Of an
engagement ring of diame2ds and
pearls, for which the complainant said
he paid $275.
The complainant said he was next
introduced to Mrs Brown, the other al
legged member of the .love syndicate"
as her sister-in-law. He told of the de-
fendant's having told him Of her diff

can mine owner, because of her pro-
posed marriage with him. The brother
had caused injunctions to be placed
against her valuable properties in Mex.

said, to consult with attorneys Then
she sent to him for money, Mr., Keisle-
declared, and he sent her first $500 fol-
lowed by second $500 shortly after
ward. She continued to write, he said,
expressing undying love and telling
him how lonely she was without him
and continuing to request additional
cash advances. He sent $500 and $3.50
repeatedly to Boston until the amount
advanced, including cash forwarded to
Philadelphia and Chicago, reached the
sum of $1,000 in addition to some pres

and Perfectly Harmless.
Moscow. Nov. 14.-Generai Rheinbot,
who, il was reported. shot nan who
threw bomb at him, has received
hundreds of messages, including a per-
sonal communication from Emperor
Nicholas through Premier Stolypin and
dispatch from Count Witte, congratu-
lating him upon his escape.
In spite of these congratulations,
which give color to the official version
of the attempt on the life Of General
Rheinbot, who is police prefect Of
Moscow, there are ugly rumors that
General Rheinbot was himsek the au-
thor Of the plot against his own life.
He is thought to have schened to re-
trieye his sinking fortunes and to
stave of retirement.
These suspicious rumors are support
ed by certain circumstantial evidence.
General Rheinbot at the time the at
tempt on his life was made, was fol-
lowing an unusual path on foot
through narrow alleys. The bomb ex-
ploded In a manner described as high-
ly suspicious. Pieces picked up on the
spot show it to have been nothing
more than an imitation bomb, quite

Bonab Only an Imitation.
1t failed to explode until it had reii-
ed to the opposite side Of the streea
and to safe distance from the preeeot.
The original theory was that the bomb
did not go of because the dynamite
in 1t was frozen. Now the polics az
plain it was fuse bomb, and the 60
eial Revolutionists discarded such mis-
siles long ago.
On account of the indignation areas
ed at the statement that General
Rheinbot shot down his assaiIant whils
he was being held by two policemsa a
statement was issued to the effect that
the bomb thrower when he was killed
by the general was struggling to es-
cape and that he also fired al the pre-
feet, but the revolver which he is al
legged to have used has not been found.
1t is declared that the man did not
have revolver, that he fred at mo-
body and that he had been promised
that he would be allowed to escape.
General Rheinbot, however, is alleged
to have shot him to get rid of him.

0DELL ON THE ELECTION.
criticises Republican Campaign and
Says Result Strengthened Hearst.

Gays hSSbft otFcnSlHSnSC EfSdTSIs
New York, Nov 14.-Former Govern
or B. B. Odell, Jr., spoke his mind here
about the recent campaign. Mr. Odell,
whom Timothy Il. Woodruff succeeded
as chairman of the Republican state
committee, wanted it understood that
he was not volunteering criticism of
the present management of the Re-
publican party, but when asked his
opinion of things political he gave it
in characteristic style.
In brief, Mr.. Odell said that there
had been no management at all of the
recent campaign, that Mr. Hughes had
been burdensd with an undue proper
ton of such work as was done and
that there WAS no reason why intelli-
gent management should not have
elected the whole state ticket He
said President Roosevelt's interference
IL state politics had been disastrous, as
presidential interference always had
been, and that the Republican party
was left in bad shape to face the next
presidential election.
Mr.. Odell is convinced that the Re
publican party must recognize some Of
the things Mr.. Hearst stands for II 1t
hopes for victory. He also asserted
that the election left Mr.. Hearst

CAUTIOUS, WORDS.

Mi. Wilson States the Laws Para
phernalia For Trust Busting.
Farmer Wilson, who hangs on to the
position of secretary of agriculture
with the yigor Of a professional Re
publican officeholder in spite of scan
dals and semiscandals in his depart
ment, gave out a statement on Oct. %
about the proposed meat merger that
shows he is growing cautious with age.
He said:
I'VE have bureau of corporations
whose agents are especially charged
with looking into matters Of this hind.
I'VE have a department of justice
whose machinery was designed to be
used in just such case as this.
I'VE have cur own attorneys general
to talk to grand juries.
I'VE have gFaad juries to listen and
to indict
1--WE have petit tssTies.
"And we hsYe peniteatisrias.
1t is true there is a baseau Of cor
poratiens," bat the public has been
kept absolutely in tie dark about what
it has discovered about the trusts, ex-
cept upon that notable occasion when
1t gave publicity to the Business of the
beef packers. That report did not
give promise Of great results in its in
vestiSation of other corporations, and
the absurdity of the result arrived at
seemed to discourage the bureau and
President Roosevelt from giving fur
ther publicity to trust doings.
1t is true I'VE have a department of
justice" but the results SO far achiev-
ed by the great array of lawyers en-
ployed there have not electrified the
country by getting even one guilty
trust magnate in stripes.
1t is true I'VE have our own attorneys
general to talk to grand juries," but
perhaps such efforts would have been
more effective If addressed to petit
juries and in urging the court to en-
force the provision for Imprisonment of
the guilty trust and corporation man
ayers instead of fning soulless cor
poration, which has evidently no effect
in hindering crime.
It Is true 1--WE have grand juries to
listen and indict," and I'VE have petit
juries," but with all this parapherna-
liza of the law the results have been
meager and unproductive, and no trust
or combine or corporation has reduced
its exorbitant prices or ceased from
plundering the people
1t Is true 1--WE have penitentiaries,"
but SO far there is no trust magnate,
however vicious, or no corporation
manager, however strong the evidence
against him, that is confined in those
penal institutions as a punishment for
breaking the statute in such case made
and provided
1t Is true this strenuous administra-
tion has boasted of doing things" but
1t has been like the idle vaporings of
other boasters- but words, words, and
not followed by deeds Under these
circumstances 1t is hardly likely that
the oscillating doors of the penitentiary
will cause this new candidate for trust
honors and Illegal gain to fear What
the present administration Will do to 1t.

Pittsburg, Nov. 14.-Holdups- on the
streets of this city continue to come to
light with each succeeding day, and,
while the police refuse TO give out any
that are reported, still a number find
their way to the ears Of the public.

Murray had been held up the morning
previous and hud armed himself, and
when he drew his pistol the men fed,
dropping a club. The police later ar
rested two men as suspects, but Nc
Murray was unable to identity them.
Miss Mary McCauley was attacked
and strangled at Center and Highland
avenues at O'Clock in the morning.
She managed to scream for help, and
soon several policemen in plain clothes
were chasing after the assailant He
escaped, but the officers say they have
good description of him
Arrests are being made all over the
city by the police, who are rounding up
all suspicious characters or any with
out any apparent occupation These are
taken to the various police stations and
"sweated," and while some are held
others are let go with a warning.
AS result of the numerous crimes a.
wholesale shakeup in the police depart
ment was made, almost every official
above the rank of patrolman being
transferred An increase in the force
of 200 men has been ordered.
A wave of crime seems to have inun-
dated Allegheny and adjacent counties.
Besides the murders, highway robber-
les and crucihxion previously reported
in I;ttsburg, news comes of a great
number of crimes in nearby places.

Tricked by Dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where
The Trouble Lay.


'sFor the past seven years I have been
victim of dyspepsia and chronic con-
etipation and have consulted the most
noted specialists to be found cE diseases
of this character. None, however, seemed
to locate the difficulty OF give relief. In

month and by that time my stomach
was in healthy condition, capable of di-
gesting anything which my increasing ap-
petite demanded.

of my former trouble, though three
months have elapsed since taking yoar
remedy"
We wish that you could see with
your own eyes the countless other bona
fde signed letters from grateful men
and Women ali over the land who had
suffered years of agony with dyspepsia,
tried every known remedy and consulted
eminent specialists without result, until
they gave Stuart's Tablets a trial Like
the doctor above, they couldn't locate the
seat Of the trouble.
Dyspepsia is disease which has long
baffled physicians. So difficult of loca-
ton is the disease that cure seems next
to miraculous. There is only one way to
treat dyspepsia-to supply the elements
which nature has ordained to perform
this function and to cause them to enter
the digestive organs, supplying the fluids
which they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets alone fill these requirements, as
is shown by the fact that 10000 physici-
ans in the United States and Canada
unite in recommending them to their pa
tients for stomach disorders.
We do no claim or expect Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything hut
disordered conditions Of the stomach end
other digestive organs, but this they new
er fail to do. They work upon the inner
Inning Of the stomach and intestlnes,
stimulate the gastric glands and aid in

CHEF EXECUTIVE DECLARES HIM
SELF OUT OF THE RAcE-cAUcUs
MAY SAVE DRYDEN-FoEs IN HIS
OWN PARTY SAY HE CANNOT Sc
CURE THE NECESSARY VOTES

Advices from Trenton are to the effect
that United States Senator John F. Dry
den still has a fighting chance to sue
coed. himself in the Senate, notwithstand-
ing the opposition. of State Senator Col
by Assemblyman elect Fake and others
who have declared against him. If he
saves himself it will be through caucus
Democratic, but the Legislature will be
Republican on joint ballot by a majority
OF four. South Jersey will control the
caucus and the sentiment In that part of
the State is almost wholly in favor of
the Senator's reelection. Both Senators
Dryden ana Keans were in the throng of
politicians that crowded the State House
corridors yesterday from all parts of the
State. They were in conference for over
an hour with Governor Stokes, for whom
there is a strong sentiment in favor of
his succeeding Senator Dryden, but the
Governor has repeatedly declared that he
is not in the Senatorial race, giving
among other excuses that he does not
want to be placed In the attitude of TAX
ing advantage of his high position to
elevate himself to the United States Sen
ate and that he is at present deyoting
his thoughts to plans looking to a reor-
ganization of his party in the interests of
harmony. The great Democratic major
ity in Hudson, the tremendous reversal
of the Republican vote in Essex, and the
loss of Passaic has convinced the Gov
nor that the Republican party is sadly
in need of reorganization and it must
heed the counsel of the independents,
whose views he believes ARE mainly cor
rect. The constitutional question has
also been raised as to whether the Gov
ernor as Governor is eligible to election
a. United States Senator. With the Gov
ernor out OF the race, Senator Dryden's s
chances of succeeding himself are mater
ialiy brighter. He is leaving no stone
unturned in his eorts to be returned to
the Sepate but he still has TO cope with
much opposition. Meanwhile the DEM
ocratic members of the next Legislature
are busy seeking combination of some
scrt that will beat Dryden and allow
them to name Democrat-possibly Col.
E. A. Stevens, of Hoboken, as Mr.. Dry
den's successor.
Senator Kean last night stated that he
did not think there was the least doubt
that the Union County members who
have declared against Dryden would
abide by the Republican caucus. He as
serted that from the present outlook he
thought Mr.. Drydens success was as
sured.
State Senator Bradley of Camden, and
Senator Avis, Of Gloucester, attended yes
terday's conference with the Governor
eenator Bradley is out strong for Dry
den's reelection.
Anti Dryden men still declare that Mr..
Dryden cannot possibly secure the nee
essary vote to elect him.
