HUNDRED THOUSAND IN ALL
ONE ST. LOUIS WIDOW SAID TO

$4,000.

Chicago, Oct. 31-Wealthy widows
have been swindled out of more than
100000, the police say, by S. Rosen-
field, who was arrested yesterday.
Detectives met considerable difficulty
in making the arrest, owing to the
opposition of the family
Rosenfield admitted getting large
sums of money from women, the po-
lice say, but denied that his scheme
was swindle.
According to the police, Rosenfield
posed as a wealthy broker and real
estate man, and had little difficulty In
inducing persons of means to invest
in his schemes. 1t Is said more than
$4,000 was obtained from one woman
in Cincinnati in book venture" The
police were told that a woman in ST..
Louis intrusted $4,000 to Rosenfield

CAUGHT LIKE RATS IN TRAP
DR.. EMILY CHAMBERS HORRIBLE
FATE IN THE WlLDS OF
ALASKA,

Atlantic City, N. j.. Oct. 30.-By the
wrecking of a three-coach electric
train on the West Jersey & Seashore
railroad yesterday at least fifty pas
sengers perished, and the list may
reach the total OF seventy-five when
all is known.
While crossing over drawbridge
spanning the waterway known as
"The Thoroughfare," which separates
Atlantic City from the mainland, the
train left the track and plunged into
the water. The passengers in the first
two coaches, with one or two excep-
tions, were drowned.
twenty-five Bodies Recovered.
Up to midnight forty.four bodies
have been recovered and it is believed
that at least twenty-five and probably
merged coaches.
Cause Of Wreck in Doubt.
The cause of the wreck has not
been established. 1t was probably due
either to a defective rail or the break
ing of some part of the superstruc-
ture of the first coach. 1t has also
been suggested that the drawbridge,
which had just been closed after the
passage of a yacht, may not have prop
erly locked the rails. All the stories
as to the cause of the accident how
ever. are purely speculative.
-
We been moderate, the first coach
left the rails and dragged those follow
ing it over the ties for distance Of
fifty feet
Plunged Into Water.
Suddenly swerving, the first two
coaches plunged over the side of the
bridge into the water below. The
third coach struck an abutment,
broke its couplings and for a brief
time hung suspended over the water.
Brief as was this period, however, it
gave more than a score of passengers
an opportunity to escape by the rear
door. Then the car slid off and fol-
lowed the other two into the water.
1t is believed every one in the third
coach escaped alive, although all were
injured.
The accident was witnessed by
many persons on shore and assistance
was promptly sent from Atlantic
City.
