DENY "CASSIE" LEFT

Pittsburg, Oct. &.-The report from
Cleveland that Mrs. Cassie Chadwick left
100000 on deposit In the Second National

Among the woman's effects was found
a passbook with a single deposit of $780,
800 credited to Mrs. Chadwick. No en-
tries were mad to show that any checks
had ever been drawn against this sum.
and the account had not been balanced.

place.

P%ittsburg. oct. 26.-Harry Kendall Thaw.
slayer of Stanford White. and Mrs. Evelyni
Nesbit Thaw have decided their interests
in the Thaw homestead and adjacent prop
erty i'm the downtown section of Pittsburg
TO Harry Thaw's brothers and sisters. The
documents were prepared in New York on
August 16, and were recorded here.
The consideration named is $4,000 This
figure Is regarded as merely nominal, and
will put at rest the stories regarding the
straits to which the Thaw family has
been put to pay the enormous bills re-
sulting from Harry's trial. The fact that
security is being taken for money adj,
vanced is readily seen.
The house Is one of the landmarks OF,
Pittsburg-the last pace in the world that
any millionaire would be willing to allow
to pass from his hands. Here in the SON.
Der three-story mansion on Fifth street
Harry Thaw was born. and here in its
great rooms he romped and played as a
boy. Here Evelyn Nesbit passed and
looked in wonder with her big, childish
eyes when, as a little girl, she was led
by her mother to take her dancing les
sons. The house was built by William
Thaw i'm 1852. and was occupied by him
until his death in 1889.

HADLEY TO HELP
YOUNG IN HIS SUIT

Minneapolis, Oct. 26.-Attorney Cen
eral Hadley, of Missouri, will assist
Attorney General Young. of Minnesota.
In his appeal to the United States SUI
preme court, growing out of the SEN
tence for contempt of court imposed
by Judge Lochren for the disregarding
by the attorney general of the injunc-
ton restraining him from taking any
action in the way of enforcing the
commodity rate law passed at the last
session Of the legislature.
T. d. O'Brien, special counsel, II
George D.. Sampson, assistant attorney
general, are now in Washington with
an application for a writ OF habeas
corpus looking to Mr.. Young's release,
and Mr.. Hadley will be heard in the
argument on the order to show cause.
A letter to Mr.. Young from Attorney
Gen eral Hadley, received today, an
bounced his intention of giving all the
legal help in his power.
AS president of the association of at
torneys general, n himself the sub
ject Of no less than eighteen federal in
functions covering the same ISSUES as
are at stake in Minnesota, Mr.. Young
was most anxious to secure Mr.. Had
ley's aid and he thinks he is fortunate
in obtaining it.
Mr.. Hadley, since Missouri came in
conflict with the railroads on the rate
question, has been quite aggressive and
has compelled the railroads to seek
the aid Of many enjoining orders.
The eleventh amendment to the fed
eral constitution upon which the attor-
ney general is relying in his APP
plication to the supreme court relates
to the liability of states to suit. 1t
reads:
THE judicial power of the United
States shall not be construed to ex-
tend TO any suit in law or equity COM
menced or prosecuted against one of
the United States by citizens of another
state, or by citizens Of any foreign
state"

EARTHQUAKE IN
ITALY KILLS HUNDREDS

Rome. oct. 26.-At 6 o'clock Thurs
3ay evening about 200 bodies were taken
from the earthquake ruins. 1t is now
estimated that the deaths will surpass
500. but it Is impossible to get accur-
ate information on this subject, az
many villages are still cut off by the
floods ard the destruction of roads and
the telegraph lines, and no word from
them can rs heard.
The STOCKS continue, but they are
slight. tn" country is still i'm a condi-
ton of apprehension, which is increased
by each tCe,able.
In spite Of the torrential rain that is

LONDON FORSEES
WAR, NOW PEACE
CONGRESS- is ENDED

london. Oct. 25.-F'aint applause
from the stalls and persistent booing
from the galleries have followed the fall
of the curtain upon the Hague con-
gress. While the summary Of the chief
conventions shows that a good many
little things have been done. there u
a general agreement among the Eng
lish commentators that the congress
has been a failure.
The pessimists, who consider war q
necessary evil, are encouraged in their
.cynjcism. The optimists. who have
hoped for collective action for the pre-
vention of war or for the mitigation Of
the barbarities and horrors OF modern
scientific slaughter, are forced to admit
that their illusions are dispelled. No
Populations have been made at The
Hague. The responsibility for the
.meager results may be fairly divided
between Germany for o~bstructing hui
name policies and the British and
American delegations for failing to
agree upon a common basis OF action.
/, The sequel to the International de-
batting society, which discussed every
thing and agreed to disagree, is a gem
'eral renewal OF activity in war matters.
TERRIBLE campaigns followed the first
Hague congress, and there are similar
lpremonitions OF evil wherever the end
ing OF the second congress Is discussed.
while the air Is electrically charged
with suspicion. there Is no agreement
upon the probable center OF disturb
,ance The news from Morocco Is not
reassuring, and the Arabs seem to be
clamoring for fight, but the situation In
not worse than 1t has been. and 1t is
probable hat there win be a marked
improvement after the German Em.
peror and King Edward have a fuu
conference at Windsor.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The admin
istration launched a thunderbolt in its
prosecution of the trusts when it an
nounced the seizure by the govern
ment of property in Virginia belonging
to corporations allied with the Ameri-

The seizure amounted to only about
1000. but the novelty of the proceed
ing is mons the less striking, for it is,
the first instance in which the federal.
government has invoked section 6 of,
the Sherman antitrust law, although
hat statute was enacted more than
seventeen years ago. The seizure was
of $1,000 cigarets, valued at 81 72. so.

fore the law, to all men. big or lit

But after the law has done its part
it remains true that the fundamental
factor I'm any mans success in life,
is his own character, his own capacity
for work. for doing justly by his neigh

in return.

complaining not of himself but that
somebody outside has not done as well

that the weather was not good, or the
cotton faded, but never mentions his

cannot help. If the Woman does not do
her part fairly and honestly in the

camps for her lover, who has been
missing since last spring, Is Nettie

he was a we'll to do farmer in Rhode
Island until a little more than a year
ago, when the mining fever got into his
blood and he went TO Mexico, sinking
his life's earnings in prospects, which
turned out a poor venture and he was
forced to toll at ordinary labor.
Too proud to return TO his old home.
and admit his failure, he wrote a brief
letter, In which be explained his cir
cumstances, telling his promised bride
that he would leave Mexico and begin
again and she would not hear from
him until he had again built up a fort,
une, as he could not think of asking
her to share his poverty with him.
Upon receiving the letter the plucky
young mn started for Mexico with
the determination OF finding the man
she loves, regardless OF the fact that
his fortune had beer swept away. She
reached Mexico only to find he had
gone to Wyoming II she traced him
TO several camps there, each time to
learn he had become dissatisfied and
left. She believes he Is somewhere
within the borders OF Idaho and, al
though she has undergone many hard
ships and suffered from exposure in
making long trips, she has
determined not to give up the search
until she finds the man she loves and
can share with him his poverty or
riches as she finds It.
~Prospectors n timber cruisers are
giving her every assistance, and have
provided saddle and pack horses for
her journey to the various camps. but
so far she has been unable to Obtain
only meager clews.
