SHE BETRAYED TELLER RUNYAN
Mrs. Laura Carter Was Also Arrested
at Same Time in N. Y.

Chester B. Runyan, the teller of the
Windsor Trust company, who is al
legged to have stolen s96,317 from that
company, and Mrs. Laura Carter, the
woman who betrayed his hiding place
to the police after he had given her
part of the stolen funds were ar
raigned in police court Saturday.
Where Is s42,ooo7
What had become of $4,000 of the
total company's stolen funds was still
a mystery. Runyan had in his pos
session when arrested $14.410. OF
the balance he said he had lost $4,000
in speculation in stocks before he dis
appeared from the Office of the Wind
sor Trust company, that he had given
$4,000 to Mrs. Carter and that he be-
lieved she had taken $4,000 more
without his knowledge.
Mrs. Carter said she had deposited
all the money that Runyan gave hei
in bank and that it would stay there
If she could keep it there. She de
clared that she could have obtained
possession of all the money RunyaI
had if she had tried hard enough.
Concerning her betrayal of Run
vans hiding place she said that she
had felt sorry for Mrs. Runyan anC
debated with herself whether to mott
fly Mrs Runyan of her husbandi
whereabouts or to give him up to thu
police She did the latter. she de
clared. because she learned that Mrs
Runyan was i'll. Although she SAT-
she had no hope of securing the re
ward for Bunyan, she remarked tina
she could make use of the $1,000 OF
fered AS she, like Runyan, was ur
der the charge of grand larceny an
the police have yet to recover abou
$4,000 which Runyan declares sh
has hidden, there is little chance c
her securing the reward.

Appeal to The Hague Makes Trouble
for Marquis Ito.
Inquiry shows that general disgust
is the main effect among Japanese at
Seoul as a result of the conspiracy
in sending a Korean deputation to The
Hague, the Geographic disclosures Of
which interrupted the Korean emper-
or's profuse assurances to Marquis
Ito of his confidence in him and his
reform plans and especially his sup
posed ardent desire for a sincere or
ganization of the cabinet.
Marquis Ito is much disappointed
and must now proceed in face of the
'emperor's intrigues, which have false
ly elated a large section of the upper
classes, who are now anticipating a
miracle in Korea.
Although Ito's administrative ma
chinery is incapable Of ministering
justice to the Korean people, Japan
has executively and in the matter OF
creating a base Of operations and es
tablishing a highway to Manchuria
been strikingly successful in Korea.
Marquis Ito declared that it would
require 10 years to produce modern
government in Korea.

sNEERs AT THE U. S. NAVY
Says Officers Are Deficient and Men
Lack Patriotism.

Toxic, July 1O.-The Hochi prints
an interview with Admiral Sakamoto,
in which the admiral is quoted as
follows:
Should hostilities break out be-
tween Japan and America the result
would be indecisive, owing to a want
of proper bases of operation. Such
bases as exist are too distant for
practical purposes. Even the near
est bases, namely, the Pescadores,
Cavite and Manila, are at a distance
of coo miles from one another. Even
if the Washington government should
decide on war, it is doubtful if the
Americans serving in the navy are
sufficiently patriotic to fight.
American naval officers are bril-
liant figures at balls and social ga
therings, but they are deficient in
professional training and practice. 1t
is too much to expect a burning
patriotism in the American nava
service in case of a war with Japan
1t is likely that most of the crews
would desert and leave the ships"

FOURTH OF JULY DEATH ROLL.
More Victims This Year Than Year
of 1906.

The Chicago Tribune says:
Fifty-nine men, women and chill
dren are dead and 2153 are MANNED,
lacerated or burned as a result of the
Fourth excuses of patriotism in the
United States. The number of dead
does not include five drowned during
the day.
The roster of dead is eight more
than last years mortalities.
Unfortunately, the death roll will
Increase day by day, and even the
late days of August will witness addi-
lions to it. Tetanus, that grim after
math OF gunpowder wounds, claims
it's victims by scores and even hun
dreds for weeks after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead
in the city, while six more are so Sc
riously hurt that it is expected they
will die within a few hours.
There were 116 fires in Greater
New York during the day. These fig
ures break all Fourth of July records
for the big metropolis.
Pittsburg, Pa, ran New York
close second in the grim race, nine
persons yielding up their lives on the
altar Of frenzied patriotism.
Chicago, although the second city
of the country, added only two dead
to the nations total.
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit, al
this year only 205 victims are reported
as against 9O4 last year.

SPINAL CORD RE-coNNEcTED.
Unique Operation Performed in New
York

YORK.
New York-Alexande Adrehi, who
had his spinal cord severed by a bull
let about four years ago, will soon be
discharged from the city hospital on
Blackwell's island, entirely we'll This
case has attracted the attention OF
the medical fraternity, owing to the
remarkable success of the operation,
which was performed by the late Dr.
George Ryerson Fowler on May y,
1903 The ends of the severed cord
were drawn together. Adrehi was
shot through the spinal column. When
taken to the hospital the lower parts
of the body were entirely paralyzed.
The bullet pasesd through the col
umn.
Adrehi was rugged up in cage
chair, something like that used by a
baby when learning to walk. During
the winter of 1905 he began to feel
sensations in his body below the
wound. Twenty-six months after the
injury he was able to stand by resting
his hands on a chair. Adrehi can
now walk up and down stairs without
the use of crutches or braces. This is
said to be the only operation OF lts
kind to have resulted successfully.

ROCKEFELLER APPEARED In
COURT AT CHICAGO.
His knowledge Of the Affairs of the
Company of Which He Is the Head
Man, is WoefulIy Lacking-investi-
cation Is to Find Out Who Is to
Blame for Violation of the Law.

Chicago, July John d. Rockefel-
Ter president of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, occupied the
witness stand in the district court
Saturday, while Judge lands piled
him with questions regarding the nm
ancial strength and the business meth
DDS of the corporation of which he is
the head Mr.. Rockefeller was a very
willing and an equally unsatisfactory
witness. He was ready to tell all that
he knew, but he said that he knew
practically nothing. The net result
of his examination was that he be-
lieved during the years 1908, 1904 and
1905, the period covered by the In
dictments on which the Standard Oil
company of Indiana was recently con-
victed, the net profits of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey were APP
proximately 40 per cent of an out
standing capitalization of $100,OOO,OOO.
The investigation by Judge Lands
was instituted by him for the express
purpose of determining whether or not
the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
which was convicted of violation OF
the law. was really owned by the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey;
whether the Union Tank Line COM
pany. whose cars were used for the
shipments made in violation of the
law, was similarly owned, and also
to obtain an idea of the financial re-
sources of the convicted corporation
in order to inflict a fine proportionate
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.
The prospective appearance in court
of the man reputed to be the richest
man in the world brought about
spectacle the like of which has never
been witnessed in the vicinity of
Chicago courtroom. The crowd was
so dense that frequent cries for as
sistance were heard and people who
were jammed against the wall iran
tically begged for relief against the
pressure to which they were subject
ed
Admission to the courtroom was b!
card only, but many people succeeded
in evading the guards and when Judg'
Lands took his seat the room wa
packed to the last inch. Inside tn
courtroom perfect order prevailed a
all times, except at the immediate
opening, when Judge Lands threat
ened to clear the room if absolut
quiet was not preserved.
Secretary Pratt testified that tn
net earnings of the Standard Oil G
New Jersey were $S1,OOO,OOO in 100;
