ALL HOPE ABANDONED.
French Naval Authorities Unable to
Find Submarine Luffn

BIZERTA. Tunls, Oct 1S.-The Off.
GERS engaged In the salvage work ex-
press the certainty that the crew Of
the Iutin has perished.
Members of the crew Of the tug Ish-
kul, which conveyed the submarine on
her last voyage, declare that she plung-
ed twice successfully and that after
she had gone down for the third time
her bow showed twice above the sur.
face Of the water before she finally dis
appeared, This leads to the belief
that the catastrophe resulted from a
sudden leak at the stern
The water probably rushed In very
rapidly and overturned the aecumula-
tors. This would cause death giving
fumes to emanate from the acids, and
the crew would have no chance for life.
NJ. Thomson, the minister Of marine,
has arrived here from Paris, but the
naval authorities have practically aban-
Goned all hope of rescuing the crew Of
the Lutin and even doubt the POSSIBLE
ity Of ever raising the submarine.
Admiral Bellue is uncertain whether
the salvagers have really located the
Lutin or not. Divers have reached the
bottom, but owing to the roughness of
the sea they were unable TO remain be-
low sufficiently long to make a thor
ouch investigation. All the divers en-
deayors to obtain definite knowledge
ms to the Lutin's position in order to
permit the utilization of the powerful
lifting apparatus now on the spot have

victcd of Rebating.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-After being
out only half an hour the jury In the
case of the New York Central brought
in verdict of guilty against both the
railroad company and Frederick T..
Pomeroy, general traffic manager.
According to the provisions of the
"act TO regulate interstate commerce.
the "Elkins' act" under which the con
victions were secured-the maximum
penalty is a fine of $4,000.
As both the Central and the personal
defendant, Frederick L. Pomeroy, are
convicted by the decision of the fury
on all of the six counts charged in the
indictment, each may be mulcted to
the extent of $4,000.
The question was asked of counsel
Immediately as to whether Frederick
l.. Pomeroy could stand any such fine.
The query was received with wise
mods.
No evidence was put in by the &C.
cused, and after argument by counsel
the case was submitted to the jury.
When United States District Attor-
ney Stimson rested the governments
case Austen G. Fox announced that
the railroad would offer no defense and
appealed directly to the jury.

TALKS TO BUSINESS MEN.
C. r.. Hughes at New York Denounced
Self Seekers.


Self Seekers.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S-One of the
most remarkable political demonstra-
tons and, it is said, the largest polit-
ical meeting ever held in midday in the
heart of the business district marked
the appearance of Charles Il. Hughes,
the Republican candidate for governor,
before the Commercial Travellers asso-
citation at 81 Broadway. More than
1000 business men, who had left their
offices and stores in the vicinity, crowd
ed the big storeroom near Prince
street. where the Commercial Travellers
hold their daily rallies.
Mr.. Hughes made a practical talk to
the business men and dwelt on the at
tempts made by his opponent to create
discomfort and class prejudice in this
country. He said the country was all
right and must be kept so and de
nounced any one who would seek per.
sonal advantage by trying to convince
the people that everything is all wrong
He promised if elected governor to fer
ret out all wrongdoing and to punish
the wrongdoer, no matter who hC
might be.
Great enthusiasm greeted Mr.
Hughes, and his speech was fairly
punctuated with applause. Once h,
mentioned President Roosevelt indi
rectly by referring to the IMAM In tbs
White House." and instantly three
cheers were given.

Toms River Physician Acquit-

NASTERLY DEFENSE PLEA By WILSON
Foreman, Two Members of Jury and
Many Others Wept Openly In the
Court when verdict Was
Announced

toss RIVER, n. ], Oct. 1s.-Dr.
Frank Brouwer was adjudged not
guilty Of the murder Of his wife by a
jury here, which was out only thirty
five minutes.
The scenes following the verdict have
seldom been witnessed in this city as
the prisoner jumped to his feet and
cried out in loud tones:
THANK God. Now can go home"
The first person to press his hand in
generalization was Miss Della Nc
Clenahan, who has figured prominently
throughout the case.
The dramatic feature of the end Of
the trial was the plea for the defense
by Mr.. Wilson to the jury urging them
to do their duty and send this man
home to his aged mother and mother
less children"
The foreman and two other members
of the jury wept openly and wiped
their eyes with their handkerchiefs.
The Rev. DR.. Rowland and ex-Sheriff
Holman, who sat just behind the jury,
broke down and sobbed. Many of the
spectators were in tears. DR. Brouwer
himself had broken dowh and sobbed
as his counsel had referred to the hap
py Christmas before Mrs Brouwer
died.
1t was mastery closing to mas
terly plea, in which the case of the
state had been ripped into tatters until
there was left but the suspicious of
two nurses and the evidence of single
medical expert, who never saw Mrs.
Brouwer alive and never treated a liy-
ing case of arsenical poisoning, that
arsenic killed her.
At his home the two children and the
aged mother of DIR. Brouwer planned
TO welcome him home.
The children do not know their ia
Their has been in Jail for six months
and that for ten days he has been ON
trial charged with the murder of their
mother.
They have been led to believe he is
far away In a big hospital treating
many patients. But now they have
been told by their grandmother, Mrs.
Calverly, that their father will arrive
home, and the two children are plan
ming race down the street to meet
him.
After the taking of testimony DR..
Brouwer from his cell In the county
Jail made this statement:
II shall probably be free man to-
night. God knows have been made to
suffer indescribable tortures because Of
no fault Of my own. This prosecution
of me has been political persecution.
| have proof that it was brought about
by one of the editors in tits section
who has been an enemy of mine and
who used the local officials by prom
ises Of political advancement
AS soon as l am free I shall COM
mence the legal prosecution of the men
who have made me suffer. You may
state positively that shall not move
away from Toms River, but that
shall remain right here to face those
who have accused me-"
DR.. Brouwer on returning home hung
out the sign that had been removed
from his office door, indicating his in
tention of staying in town instead of
leaving, as he had said he would do if
public opinion was against him.

Woman to Live in Steel
Gage in the Remotest
Depths of the Congo

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-Miss Ida Vera
Simonton OF Pittsburg will sail next
week for Africa, where she will join
Professor R. L. Garner. and with him
go into the remotest corner OF the
Congo to study the monkey, its ways,
manners and speech and means OF COM
munication.
Miss Simonton has been for months
an enthusiastic student of the ape
and monkey tribe. She and the pro-
fessor expect to get a working knowl-
edge Of simian speech before they
leave the Congo. Each will have con-
structed a steel cage in which theX.wtll
live and study the tribe.
The announcement that Miss Simon
ton was to go was made last night by
DR.. Reed Blair, surgeon of the New
York geological Park, in the Bronx.
The directors of the park believe Pro-
fessor Garner, who has for years been
studying the ape, and Miss Simonton
will be able TO throw much light on the
monkey.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 9.-Christian

parently the cure cannot be questioned.
or the seriousness of her condition pre-
ceding it, whatever may be the opinion
regarding the agency which accom-
plished it,
During a visit to Washington, D. c.,
Miss Turner contracted cold. which
developed into lung trouble. Returning
to Denver, she failed to improve. Ply
sicians said the cold had initiated con-
sumption, and that she could not re-
cover.
Her parents secured quarters in
North Denver, near the Oakes home, an
institution for consumptives, and ar
ranged so that their daughter gould
sleep out of doors. She did not improve
and until few days ago had not left
her bed. When prominent physicians
and specialists told her parents there
was no hope the latter were persuaded
to call a Christian Science practitioner.
The first day Miss Turner dressed her
self and ate at the table with her par
ents. The third day she was downtown
with girl friend in an automobile.
Apparently she is destined to recover
her health entirely.
