TAFT IN TOXIC
The Secretary to Meet the Emperor
on October 2.

The Secretary to Meet the Emperor
on October 2.
Toxic, Sept. SO.-Preliminary to
three days of social and diplomatic
activity, Secretary of War Taft and
his party spent a quiet Sunday resting
in the palace of Shiba, an ancient and
picturesque residence belonging to the
imperial family. During the day num-
erous Japanese dignitaries and Off
cials called upon the secretary, many
of them accompanied by their wives.
Among the most important of the
callers on the secretary was Lieuten-
ant General Terauchi, the imperial
minister of war, who had a lengthy
conference with Mr.. Taft. Some i'm
portance is being attached to the fact
that there have been two conferences
between the two war ministers, and
on account of the mutual admiration
and the influence of Lieutenant Gen.
eral Terauchi, it is believed in certain
quarters that the ground work is be-
ing laid for an entente concerning i'm
migration which, it is conceded, is the
only point on which there is differ
ence of opinion between the two cOun-
tries.
1t is intimated that if the oppor.
tunity arises during his conference
with the emperor October 2, Mr.. Taft
may broach this subject to him and
leave it's future arrangement to Mr..
O'Brien, the American ambassador.
Diplomatic circles, however, do not
credit this rumor, 1t being asserted
there that Mr.. Taft is not on a direct
mission The probability of such an
occurrence, however, is freely discuss.

Contained Records of Liquidatlng
Trustees of Oil Trust.
New York, Sept. 2S.-FPRnk B. Kel-
logg, conducting the suit of the United
States for the dissolution of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, made
another hunt in the hearing of the oil
case to discover trail that would lead
to the finding of the lOng-sought books
of the Standard Oil trustees and liqui-
dating trustees. When the hearing was
concluded, Mr.. Kellogg said that he
was closer to the books, from which
he hopes to prove that the oil combine
never underwent a legal dissolution,
than he had been at any time since
the governments action was COM
menced.
Charles White. the assistant secre-
tary of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, said on the witness stand
that when he went to the secretary's S
Office to assume his new duties there
were two steel safes in the Office. One
Of them contained the books and rec
ords of the Standard company, the
witness said what was in the other
safe he did not know. Mr.. White said
that no one told him the nature of
the contents of the second safe, which
was removed two weeks after he had
been there. From whom the order
came or where it was taken to, the
witness said he could not answer. Mr..
White said that he had never seen the
records of the Standard Oil trustees
or the liquidating trustees showing the
various transfers CT stock in the trust
and liquidating period. Mr. White said
he had hunted for the records recently,
but was unable to find them.

POSSE PURsUEs NEGRO
Fatally Shot Girls Sweetheart and
Then Assaulted Her.

Fatally Shot Girls Sweetheart and
Then Assaulted Her.
Washington, Sept. 30-A posse is
securing Alexandria county, Virginia,
for a negro, who waylaid and perhaps
fatally shot John William Mullen, 21
years old, near ROsslyn, opposite this
city, and then assaulted Miss Amelia
Weiss, aged II, Mullen's f1ance, with
whom he was out walking. Without
word of warning the negro opened fire
on Mullen, shooting him through the
mouth and splitting his tongue. The
assailant dragged the girl into
thicket, holding her a captive for more
than an hour. AS he left her he said
he was going back to her lover "and
finish the job" Mullen, however, was
able to make his way up the hill and
tell Of the crime, the girl in the mean
time finding her way to her home,
where she informed her parents of
what had happened.
Great excitement prevails, and
searching parties are looking for~the
negro.
The affair is regarded as one of the
most atrocious that has occurred in
this vicinity, and if the negro is found
it is believed that the threats of lynch
ing, freely indulged in, will be made
good.

S2,OOO,OOO FOR
SECRET BRIDE
Wealthy WidOwer Was Married II
Days to StenOgrapher.
FAMILY DIDN'T KNOW OF IT

New York, Sept Arrangements
for the funeral of Charles N. Maxwell
a millionaire, in the home of Mrs
Ellen Lynch, at Bensonhurst, instead
of in his own apartments in this city,
revealed a remarkable romance in the
life of Mrs. Lynch's pretty daughter,
Ellen.
On September II, Miss Lynch, who
is % years old, was married to Mr..
Maxwell, who was 62, widower with
two sons and a daughter, all married.
His family was not aware of his mar.
riage, and it was not until the day
after his death that young Mrs. Max
we'll informed them and claimed her
husbands body. Now this young bride
of IL days will receive fully $2,OOO,OOO,
according to a conservative estimate.
from the estate of her husband.
Mr.. Maxwell's wealth is estimated
at more than $5,OOO,OO0. On Septem.
ber % he was suddenly stricken with
internal hemOrrhage, while in his
apartments. His housekeeper, Miss
Emma L. Stroud, who had been with
him a number of years, called a ply.
sician, but Mr.. Maxwell died in 15
minutes.
Mr.. Maxwell has two sons, Rymon
and Charles, and one daughter, Mrs
Emma Bronner. Shortly after Mr.
Maxwell died young Mrs. Maxwell call
ed. Both RymOn Maxwell and Miss
Stroud greeted her as Miss Lynch
To their surprise she walked over ~
the casket containing Mr.. Maxwell's
body and said:
'T am Mrs. Maxwell"
"Why, that is impossible" said Miss
Stroud. Mrs. Maxwell died last April
81 know that Mr.. Maxwell's first
wife is dead, but we were married on
September IL, in Atlantic City"
Rymon Maxwell at once began an
investigation and verified the girls
story. In view of the facts in the
case, he could not resist her demand
for possession of her husbands body
and it was sent to her mothers home
in Bensonhurst, where the funeral was
held. Mrs Maxwell was Frustrated
but her younger sister told the 70.
mantle story.
"It is true that my sister and Mr.
Maxwell were married in Atlantic
City" she said. "All of us were at
the wedding 1t is not the case, though
of a wealthy man marrying a poor
girl. My sister is in independent cir
cumstances, because my father, who
was John Francis Lynch, a well-known
breeder of horses, left her a consider
able sum when he died. We had
known Mr.. Maxwell for some time
and knew of his great love for my sis
ter. The marriage had the entire ap
| proval of our family. They were mar
ried by clergyman and not by a jus
tice of the peace as has been stated
by Mr.. Maxwells son. Mr.. Maxwell's
family knew nothing of it because he
did not see fit to communicate with
