DEATHS STEADY HARVEST
This Week it Claimed Joseph
Schumacher, The Well-Known
Brewer.
Phree Times a Member of the
Council and an Active
Park Protector.
MSs. Susanna Manderfeld, an Old
Settler, Also Passes Away.

saturday afternoon, Between one
and two O'Clock, there passed away at
his home in this. city one Of New Ulm's
most prominent citizens, Mr.. Joseph
Schumacher, president Of the Schmuck-
er Brewing Co.
While MIR. Schumacher had been seri-
ously Ill but short time, his health
for some months had been failing and
he long had felt the need of retiring
from active work in connection with
the brewery. Enlargement of the liver,
coupled with kidney trouble, was the
Immediate cause of his death.
Mr.. Schumacher was born in Stein
feldt, near Riningen in Wuertemburg,
ON March Oath, 1649. When sixteen
years of age he emigrated to America
and came direct to New Ulm. Here he
remained but q few days however, en-
aloyment having been offered him in
brewery at Minneapolis. In Mime
apolis he remained four years, re-
turning to New Uln in 1870. That
same year he leased the old Triton
brewery and in 1872 purchased it..
Wnder his guidance Improvement fol-
lowed improvement. In 1885 he built
me Tiyoii and surrounded it with
beautiful gardens. Five years later
he commenced a new malt house and
in 1897 completed the entire building

ing properties in the city. In 1904 the
Schumacher Brewing Co. was orga-
nized, with Mr.. Schumacher as presi-
dent, and capitalized for 100000. 1t
was on the eve of passing into new
hands when Mr.. Schmucker's sudden
illness put stop to all negotiations.
But it was not alone in private en-
terprises that Mr.. Schumacher was OF
value to the city. During the best
We ars of his life he served three terms
in the city council and as chairman Of
the park committee became an enthusi-
asst for the Identification Of German
Park. His work along these lines will
long stand as monument to his mem

and his highminded notions Of his du.

of nature.
Mr.. Schumacher was married in 1873
to Ida Peuser, who with two sisters,
Mrs. Henry Frenzel and Mrs. Martin
Penning, survives him. All of their
children, four in number, are dead.

the sea turned from time to time to DR.. Maher for
confirmation of the facts. Each time such
roboration was given with short nod of the head.
Now, there are few other little things, Captain
Delhi continued deliberately, that not known
to Dr. Maher here. For instance personally went
to the foc'sle to see if Tennel had posted notice
there offering reward for the knife on the night be-
fore the murder, and found that statement correct
Here is the notice. You will the description fits
perfectly the knife with which the murder was
mitted."
The Thinking Machine accepted sheet of paper
which Delhi offered, glanced at it, then handed it
back.
Il don't know if DR.. Maher even knows Just why
I ordered Tennell under arrest" continued the
Captain. Miss Bellingdames story decided me.
She going to the wireless Office to send message,
when she man-it was First Officer Tennell-
thrust his head out the door and look around, as
if he contemplated escape. She thought it rather

Do you know-do you suspect" he began
Il must" she insisted
At gesture from Captain Delhi the stewardess
and her assistant left them alone together Fifteen
minutes later he emerged and summoned Second
Officer Forbes to his cabin
Mr.. Forbes, proceed at once to Mr.. Tennells
cabin and formally place him under arrest, he or
dered shortly . You had better put him in irons,
and keep an armed guard beside him day and night
until we land. Dom take any chances with him.
Two hours later Second Officer Forbes appeared
in the cabin again. We have canvassed the ship,
sir" he reported. D." There is not wireless operator
aboard, or even telegraph operator.
What is our speed?"
"A little better than seventeen knots sir.
I'VE should land then about five o'clock to-
morrow afternoon" the Captain mused Very
well, Mr.. Forbes; we shall have to do without an
operator"

slid past the Uranus in green, oily swells. The en-.
comprising night was unbroken by single CLINT of
light save that which Nature gave grudgingly. The
Captain gazed upon it all with unseeng eyes and
grimly set lips. :
Two bells sounded-one o'clock. As the echo of
the last stroke borne away the wind Captain
Delhi suddenly became conscious Of the sharp,
venomous hiss of the wireless. The wireless! He
paused incredulously, and glanced aloft. A spark
sputtered at the top Of the foremast, winked and
flashed and spat vicious1y in the rhythmic dots and
dashes of the code. The wireless working!
Some one was sending! The Captain knew that no
sound accompanied the receipt of message, even
with the automatic attachment therefore that sput-
tering and Kissing was some one sending and II that
was true it meant He ran down the ladder to the
hurricane deck, and disappeared down companion
way to the deck below.

what to do for her.
Captain Delhi stared at her blankly for instant,
then 1I rose suddenly and accompanied her to MISS
her berth, pallid as the sheets about her. One of
the stewardesss assistants sat trying to soothe
her.
Is it true, Captain?" she demanded.
Captain Delhi nodded grirnly.
She extended her hands convulsivey and clutched

it," she asked at last.
We don't know madam he replied gently.
I'VE doing all we can; but"
Somebody told me your first officer had been ar

dark, with heavy mustache' isn't t. he?"
Yes, replied the Captain. "Why?"
For little while she was silent as she struggled

The Thinking Machine glanced at DR.. Maher as il
surprised. Therefore the message Ingraham was
sending, he put in was either stolen or was being
composed as he sent it. Is that clear?"
There was a pause Captain Delhi nodded, and
DR.. Maher began drumming on the window sill

Is that clear?"
"Yes; go on" said Captain Delhi.
when we find the person who could read the
Continental CODE we also find the person who in all
probability was operating the wireless at one O'Clock
the night of the murder. Is that clear?.
''Yes, yes"
"And when we find the person who operated the
wireless logic shows incontrovertibly that we
have either the murderer of Ingraham, or some one
who was in the plot. Remember, the ship had been
