Cashier Runyan Exposes
Direlict Who Egged
Him on to Steal.
THEN PROVED TRAITOR
Given $4,000 to Hide Him She Elk
torted Much More and Then
Called Police.

New York, Aug 2S.-George Runyan.
the cashier who stole $4,000 from the
Windsor Trust company in driblets and
wound UP by walking out of his cage
one day with $4,000 in cash in a
suitcase told in court today why and
how he stole it, and how a woman.
who had tempted him to make the big
theft on the promise that she would
hide him had turned him over to the
police when she had got as much of
the loot as she wanted.
1t was the story of a fool and a
vampire, but in the telling of it Runyan
had the satisfaction OF revenging him
slf on the woman who betrayed him.
The woman is Laura II. Carter and it
was at the beginning of her trial that
Runyan told his story. The specific
charge against the woman is that of
receiving 5000 Of the SOS 600 Runyan
stole. The $4,000 was what Runyan
agreed to give her for hiding him. She
forced him to give her $4,000 more.
and. according to the police. took an
other $4,000 when Runyan wasn't
looking. which might have been diff
cut
Runyan was the principal witness
against the woman. though there were
others held ready to tell what she was.
Their evidence wasn't peeded, however.
for Runyan left nothing in doubt AS
soon as her case is decided Runyan
will be tried and sentenced. Today
he gave the impression of a man who
is ready to pay for his folly
Tells Story of His Downfall.
When Runyan went on the stand
Judge Whitman's court in general ses-
sions was crowded. The woman was
there clothed in some of the finest
clothes she bought with Runyan's
stolen money. Her effort to appear
attractive was not a huge success nor
were her attempts at emotion when
the evidence touched upon her immor-
al life.
Runyan began his story at the be-
ginning. He said he had been cashier
for a butcher, employed by steel
company. land in the drug business

Chicago, Aug. 29-Sensational evil
dence was brought out yesterday at

Abdul Aziz of Moo1s Re
ported Assassinated But
It Is Not Confirmed.

A report is sent out from Tangier
that Sultan Abdul Aziz has been as
sisinated in his palace at Fee. There
is no conformation of the rumor at
present.
A news agency dispatch from Tan
gier states that is is officially an
nounced that military operations for
the release of Caid Sir Harry Mac
Lean have failed and that the negotia-
lions with Raisuli also have proved
abortive. The imperial troops sent to
effect the release of MacLean under
Gen. Ell Morani, who recently was de-
feated in a battle by the Kmass tribe.
have returned TO AIcazar. In view Of
the impotence of the Moroccan govern
ment the British legation at Tangier

tribes and Raisun for the release of
MacLean, who has been in captivity

The police officials here today open
ed the preliminary trial OF ffty~three
prisoners charged with assassination,
robbery, pillage, or connivance with

vealed that clerk of one of the con-
sulates here is seriously implicated
in the receipt of pillaged property.

MAILS FLOODED WITH
EVIL POST CARDS
Government Inspectors Try
to Check Growing Evil
of Improper Pictures.

Chicago, Aug. 29.--In the arrest in
Philadelphia on Tuesday or Gustav p.
Lang, accused or dealing in obiee-
tionable post cards under the name Of
the Up. c. Novelty company" the United
States postoffice authorities in Chicago
received a new incentive to redouble
their efforts in this city to check the
sale OF similar matter that floods tho
mails every day
For months the postoffice inspectors
all over the country have been on a
wide crusade against the dealers in
there picture post cards showing scenes
OF vice and crime before the eyes of
children. The difficulty has been IN
tracing back the card 10 the sender or
manufacturer Most or the cards are
made in France or Germany and the
name OF the maker is never on the
cards.
My men are constantly on the looks
out for evidence against the manu-
facturers of these pictures" said POST
office Inspector James Z. Stuart yester-
day. We have not found any case
good enough to prosecute so far. The
work OF raiding the stores must be-
taken UP by the city. for we have no
authority until they pass through tho
mails"
Thousands Excluded from Mails.
Thousands of cards and letters oe
Objectionable nature are thrown out OF
the mails in Chicago every day, ac-
; cording to the superintendent OF mails.
There are five men whose only BUSH
ness is to look after cards. both writers
and printed. OF this cort. Partie-
ularly fagrant cases are sent up to
, Inspector Stuart for investigation and
many writers OF letters and cards
have been prosecuted.
1t is not necessary in these days,
however. to take any chances with tho
postal authorities in mailing sug-
gestive matter. The book and sta
tionery stores of the city are filled
with picture cards of this character.
Stands for the sale Of post cards have
sprung up all over the city. Mixed
with the comic cards and the pictures
OF fine buildings and city life, cards
are found TO crafty the evil taste OF
almost any one. The same cards are
found in various stores. showing one

Former President Of the
Illinois Central Severely
Criticizes His Successor
BOUT IS A FAST ONE
Vanderbilt Tries to Stop Fight and
Others Cry For Shame,
For Shame"

New York, Aug. 2S.-After a meet
ing OF the board of directors Of the
Illinois Central railroad had broken up
in confusion today Stuyvesant Fish.
former president of the company, and
j. t. Harahan, his successor, engaged
in heated alteration, which termin-
ated in a violent personal encounter
between them.
Wall street reports circulated late in
the afternoon were to the effect that
Mr.. Fish struck Mr. Harahan with his
fist, and that the two men clutched at
each other. stumbled over chair and
fell to the floor together before they
of the board, who were Mortified at
the sensational conclusion.
One of the directors who attended
the meeting said tonight that no ac-
tual blows had been struck, no blood
had been spilled and no furniture
broken.
Director Tells Story.
The fact is" he said. that Mr.. Fish
lost his temper and probably regretted
his hasty action later. He did not
strike Mr.. Harahan, but he seized him
violently. at the same time abusing him
vigorously by word of mouth. The
board room was soon cleared and there
the incident closed"
Mr.. Fish is a giant physically He
stands several inches more than six
feet in height, tipping the beam prob
ably at 220 pounds, without carrying
any superf1uous flesh, and prides him
self on his physical prowess.
Mr.. Harahan, WhO succeeded Mr.
Fish in the presidency of the Illinois
Central when the latter had been GUST
ed after an incumbency of many years
duration, is a somewhat smaller man
physically, though he could probably
weight in" at 100 pounds. and his
broad shoulders suggest plenty OF
muscular power and vitality.
How 1t Started.
1t was the regular monthly meeting
of the directorate of the Illinois Cen
trail that brought together at noon to-
day nine members of the board. Those

fist squarely between Mr.. Harahan's
eyes, backing them badly; that Mr..
Harahan had gone down under the
