ceived the idea of starting collective

was abandoned for fear that 1t would

cessation Of dispatches and interior

be pleasing alike to the Vatican and

appear that correspondents Of Ameri-

Always active in the affairs of his

drifted into politics and, in 1889, he
was elected member Of the board of

president, and had filled various other
positions of trust, including that of
mayor. To this latter position he was
first elected in the spring of 1902, and
was serving his third term in this ca
pacity when the death summons came
to him. In politics he was an uncom-
promising Democrat, and was the can

KING OSCAR III.

of the beloved monarch proves how
peculiarly he was endeared to the peo-

house alone survives. The great Ma

DEMANDS A MILLION.
Chicago Doctor Attempts to Hold Up
Wealthy Merchant

Chicago, July PA demand for 81
100000 from State street merchant, un-
der dire threats, was the climax of the
eccentricities of Edmand r. Moras,
Chicago physician and the author of
medical works.
The command was made on. Leon
Mandel on Monday in sixty word tele-
graph message signed by Moras. The
police have been working for several
days on the case and finally decided that
Moras was harmless but needed watch
ing. The matter was kept secret until
yesterday in consequence of the efforts
of friends of DIR. Moras to get the ply
stefan out of town for a much needed
rest.
Overwork and almost lncessant pain
resulting from the loss of his arm sew
eral years ago are supposed to be re-
sponsible for the queer actions of the
physician who has left his home and is
now in the care of a friend.
DIR. .Moras admitted last night that he
had sent the message, but said he re-
GREETED it. The only thing that he could
bring up against the firm was that it
had once sued him for a small account
not over 800, and that his neighbors
were pointing scornful fingers at him.
