SERVANT TRAGEDY CAUSE
New York Dentist Kills Rich Wife Over
Quarrel as to Policeman's Visit
in Kitchen.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Dr. Samuel S.
Guy, a dentist and the former coroner
of Far Rockaway, shot and killed his
wife, Lillian. Mrs. Guy was the daugh-
ter of the late Benjamin B. Mott, who
at one time owned half of Far Rock

ing the greater share of his wealth to his
daughter.

stunning blow in the face. Mrs. Guy
was a large, robust woman. After a
time, SO the servant says, both Guy and
his wife Gained down, and Guy admit

ASKS ROOSEVELT
FOR ALIENlSTS.
Mrs Ida Won Claussen in Sarcastic
"Brainstorm" at the White
House.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 9.-Mrs.
Ida NJ. Won Claussen who made COM
plant to the state department against
United States Minister Graves at Stock
holm because he declined TO present her
to King Oscar, was at the white house
today in an effort to obtain a personal
interview with the President to state her
case. This was refused her, whereupon
she left with the officials a letter, of
which she furnished a copy to the
press.
In this she ''begs President Roosevelt
to at once appoint a committee of eX-
perts to make sure that she is of sound
mind, before she proceeds further in this
case, for she knows well, from previous
reports, that when President Roosevelt is
cornered, he has a habit of appointing
such committees to help him out of his
difficulty. Therefore, not caring to lay
herself open to further criticism, Mrs.
Won Claussen demands that such com
mittee be appointed at once, otherwise
she will call the experts in herself"
When Mrs. Won Claussen appeared at
the white house Secretary Loeb delegat-
ed his assistant, Mr.. Forster, to talk
to her, though it was evident that she
was very much disappointed.
No reply will be made by the white
house officials to the letter she left for
the President.

ROOSEVELT IN WILL.
Mrs. Glover Leaves Everything Including
Angora Cats to the Presi-
dent

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 9.-The will of
Lulu B. Grover, who died after drinking
chlOroform at 2OS9 Lexington avenue in
December last, leaving all her property
to President Roosevelt, was filed for
probate yesterday by Lawyer Frank w.
Arnold. No petition was filed with the
will, so the value of the estate is I'M
known, but it is believed not to exceed
$500
By her will Mrs. Grover directed that
everything she owned-jeweIry, furni-
ture. and money in bank--was to go to
Theodore Roosevelt. She had known
him in her youth and, it is said, had
kept up a correspondence with him. She
particularly mentioned her Angora CATS
SnOwdrop and Low, as a bequest to the
President, of whom she wrote:
He has been my good angel, who
spread his wing of shelter over my peace
through life, my only true friend in
trouble. | gladly give my little all to
him and only wish it was millions in
stead of SO small an amount | hope
he will accept it in the spirit | give it.
with Gods blessing"
The will was signed on November %.
1906. and witnessed by Edwin n. Taft
and Rosetta NJ. Taft, who lived over her
in the same house.
President Roosevelt accepted the cats
and they were sent to Washington last
December. He also had steps taken to
discover the assets and prove the will.
The money he will give to relatives of
Mrs. Grover, it any are found, or to
some charitable institution. 1t is said
that he did not know Mrs. Grover.

TAFT AND CUMMINS,

National Ticket for 1908 "Touted" as
Being Favored by President-Frlend-
ship for La Toilette.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9.-Taft
and Cummins is the Republican national
ticket being 'touted'' here by the admin
istration for next years campaign.
The agricultural west is looked to, ac-
cording to friends of President Roose-
velt to supply the nominee for vice pres
ident, and Gov. Cummins' commanding
position in Iowa. one of the leading
granger states, which has also III Its
ranks of leaders such men as Shaw, Dol
liver and Hepburn, makes him poten-
tial possibility.
Taft and Cummins are both tariff re-
visionists, and it would appear from the
gossip of administration politicians the
revision of the tariff schedules Will DE
made a leading issue in the Republican
platform if the Roosevelt element OF the
party can control the next convention.
Firm Friend of La Toilette.
Another phase of the talk concerning
Cummins' possible selection to be Tafts
running mate, always granting that the
President shall be able to force Taft s
nomination, is the fact that Gov. Cum
Minis and Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin are firm friends.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt appears to
have little fondness for Senator La Fol
lette, the fact that Gov. Cummins has
found grace at the white house is caus-
ing interesting discussion on the part of
Senator La Follette's friends.
Views of Cummins.
1t is true, however. that personal
friends of Gov Cummins say that he
would prefer to have La Toilette noml-
mated for President and be his running
mate than have Taft of Ohio made the
first choice. But all who know Cummins
feel that he can hardly afford to decline
second honors whether Taft or La Fol
lette should be named for the presidency
by the convention.

plosion ripped out the wall, sending tons
of brick down on the firemen, carrying
down the fire escapes on the rear OF row

A hundred men set to work to dig

out and hurried away to hospitals. In
the meantime the fire in the car barn had
practically burned itself out, and the fiat
houses in the rear had been damaged to
the extent of $4,000. Three hundred
open cars valued at $4,000 each which
had been stored in the barn were de-
stroyed. -.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 9.-Western
railway officials have practically decided
