GERMAN SOCIETY SEEKS
TRUNK OF DEAD MEMBER
NUGGETS AND VALUA5LES ARE
MISSING ALSO
Complaint by Lodge Precipitates an
Inquiry Into the Estate Left by
Utrecht Martens of San Francisco,
Over Whom Inquest Was Held

The mysterious disappearance of a
trunk that formerly belonged to Lib
.recht Martens of San Francisco, who
died some time ago in an East First
street lodging house, was reported to
the police yesterday by members of
O. German society of which the de-
cedent was member
When the man died he was supposed
to have a trunk filled with valuables.
After the inquest it disappeared and go
far no one can be found who can throw
light on the mystery.
Charges brought by the Mission
Lodge, Sons of Hermann, San Fran
cisco, that the Los Angeles members
of the society had neglected to look
after their brother member, precipi-
tated an inquiry into the disappearance
of all of Martens valuables.
He died under suspicious circum-
stances and an inquest was thought
necessary. But it was proven that
death was from natural causes and the
body was buried by Robert Garrett &
Sons, undertakers on North Main street.
Martens also had a satchel in which
were valuable papers. pawn tickets and
a Wells-Fargo receipt for trunk. This
was supposed to contain nuggets which
Martens brought with him from a
prospecting tour.
The detectives were put upon the
case to locate the trunk if possible. 1t
is asserted that it was stolen by some
one who knew of its valuable contents,
for the receipt showed that the trunk
had been brought by express to this
city and 1t was supposed to be in the
custody of the undertaken until R. L.
Garrett and Coroner Trout denied all
recollection of the trunk.
1t is supposed that. it was taken from
the room in the lodging house.

OYSTER Bay and Washington.

For some time past a woman in black
has been trying strenuously to reach Pres-
dent Roosevelt refusing to state her err
rand to any of his bodyguard or secretaries
and annoying the officials of the Oyster
Bay establishment to point to try human
patience beyond endurance. Yesterday she
carried her enterprise even into the church
where the Roosevelt family attends and
on being prevented from taking a seat i'm
medlately behind some of the presidential
household she persisted in her endeavor
SD far that she had to be shouldered to one
side by the husky secret service men.
After church she made an exciting scene
and was again put aside, but without I'M
necessary force. She was not arrested.
Is this the new White House policy to-
ward persistent woman callers? 1t is a de-
cided improvement, in some respects over
the manner in which Mrs. Minor Morris
was treated in this city. Mrs. Morris had
a legitimate mission at the executive offices
and persisted in making her statement d-
reCtly to the President. She was there on
business. and yet. when she declared that
she would remain until she saw the Presi-
dent, she was dragged out of the offices and
thrown into a patrol wagon and otherwise
treated with outrageous contempt for her
sex
The Oyster Bay crank has doubtless gone
T. lengths which warrant her examination
with regard to her sanity. She is not in
the same class with Mrs. Morris. The sus-
picion grows--unless the Morris incident has
been accepted by the White House staff as
warning and object lesson in what
not to do-that it is unsafe for a woman
10 call at the executive headquarters on
a matter OF business, but women cranks
can go to any length save actual assault
upon the President without mourning the
risk of injury insult. This distinction
Is too subtle for the American people to
recognize easily.

aggregating an enormous sum. The corpo-
ration announces its determination to ignore
the judicial opinion that precipitated the
trouble as regards the immediate collection
Of the double fare. but promises to appeal
from it. Thus. another coil OF legal pro-
ceedings will be unwound. The courts in

chiefly useful for causing trouble. This
question should have been settled positively

A Wholesome Example,

From the Birmingham News.
The North Carolina courts have given the
world a wholesome example of the triumph
of law and order over mob rule by prompt
ly convicting one of the parties who par
ticipated in the lynching of three negroes
at Salisbury last Monday night
The man was put on trial at a special
term Of court which the governor had
called to investigate the lynching and with
out any dfckering or delay was convicted
and given a fifteen-year sentence. The
prosecution did not bring charge of MUIR
der, since 1t is always so difficult to prove
this charge where a person is ON trial for
participation in lynching. It, therefore,
made the charge conspiracy, which was
easier to establish, and on conviction the
prisoner was given the extreme penalty of
the law.
This is a pointer for prosecuting officers
in other states when the effort Is made TO
ferret out and punish lynchers. If the EVIL
Gence does not appear to be sufficiently
strong to sustain charge of murder pun
ish the accused for conspiracy, for it is a
conspiracy for a mob to gather for the
purpose of lynching a man or otherwise
overriding the law.
North Carolina is to be congratulated
upon the effective work begun by it's Of
f1cers of the law in the Salisbury outrage.
1t is hoped that every one Of the lynchers
will be sent to prison for a term sufficient
ly lengthy to give each Of them an oppor-
tuEity to reflect upon his course of conduct
in defying the law. 1t Is not so easy now
to take part in lynching and go unpun-
ished, as 1t used to be, and an enlightened
public sentiment is making it more difficult
every day

The New York Republicans.

The friends of Senator Platt are pre-
pairing to give him a great reception at the
coming state convention. Some of them
feel that it may be his last appearance as
a leader on such an occasion, and they
want to make II thoroughly gratifying to
him and memorable in the politics of the
state. His age, his impaired health, and
the strenuousness of the new times, mark,
1t is thought, the close of his active career
The pace is now so hot and the confusion
so great that younger men are necessary to
show the way.
This program is all right from the view
point of the Plat camp. The Tioga chief,
as the senator is called. has been in politics
for many years. has won some notable VIC
tories. and trained large number of young
men for the game. His pupils all admire
him, and the great majority still follow
him. Few have fallen away and set up in
opposition to him. When his lieutenants
get together therefore. and the old man.
is an issue. they manifest their devotion to
him In an unmstakable manner. Whether
In the coy corner at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, or at Albany, or seated with their
chief enjoying the bracing air at Manhattan
Beach, these men are body and soul for
Platt. Their old preceptors smile and APP
proval have still value to them.
Mr.. Plat is something of an Issue in
