No motive has been found for
the suicide of Jake Miller of Rock
ford, in J. w. Harshmans real
estate office last night. Miller had
negotiated a deal for the transfer
of his ranch to Fred Bucholz In
return for city property, then left
the office. Returning a few minutes
later he stated that he was sick
and that If his new property would
not benefit him, it would his family.
He declared he needed no assist

much agony. DR.. J. S. Reed, who
was called at the first suspicion
that Miller was in a serious condi-

1t was rumored today that the
experts examining the books at the
city hall had discovered shortages
in the accounts of two deputies in
the city comptroller's Office, Ar
thur w. Burch and James Daley.
Investigation reveals the fact that
these rumors related to some dis
crepancies that were found a year
ago last fall. Cannon & LeMasters
are said to have found everything
straight at the comptroller's Office
in their recent investigation.
Deputy Comptroller Burch says
there have been no shortages or
discrepancies of any kind found in
that Office in the Cannon & Le-
Masters investigation. He adj
mitted that there had been a dis
crepancy in his accounts of $1,000,
which he discovered himself and
made good. This occurred in No

usual examination of the books in

ROCKVILLE CHALLENGES
AN ABSENT RIVAL

Judge Miles Poindexter will not
accept T. d. Rockwell's challenge
for a public debate tomorrow night
at the Spokane theater, where
Rockwells friends are going to hold
campaign meeting, for the good
and sufficient reason that he will
not be back to town until Saturday.
Judge Poindexter is now cam
paigning down in the wheat coun-
try and is scheduled to be In Asotin
today. Mrs. Poindexter declares
she does not know where to reach
the Judge by telegraph or she would
inform him of Mr.. Rockwell's chal-
lenge.
The challenger states that as
Judge Poindexter has made refer
ences derogatory to Rockwell's
duties as tax commissioner, Rock
well challenges him to a public de-
bate, on the matter and declares
that he will prove Judge Poindex-
ter's references to be untrue and
unfair. Rockwell's friends say they
will select another date when the
judge is at home.

She managed to scream and at the

He escaped down the fire escape,
leaving the lantern upon Mrs. Vim

The police were called but the
burglar had escaped. Today the
entire police force is working on
the case. The lantern has been

Mr.. Horton today most en-

said the elder Burch had signed his

BROKENHEARTEDG GIRL
WAITING FOR HIM

Special Correspondence to The Press
WOOSTER, o., Sept. 3.-Police
Of four cities, special detectives,
lawyers, relatives and friends have
sought in vain over a week for
RalRh w. Eddy, aged q, who failed
to appear for his wedding to the
girl he had wooed for years.
His sweetheart, Miss Lucy War
rem, daughter of DR.. R. N. Warren,
is Frustrated Doctors fear her life
will not outlast certainty that Eddy
cannot be found.
Faithlessness of the lover has not
been considered at all as theory
for his disappearance by any who
know the pair.
Eddy is feet 10 inches high and
weighs 175 pounds. His hair is red
dish brown, parted on left side. His
eyes are deep gray and his face
florid. He looks robust. His age
is q. He Is of erect, soldierly APP
pearance and is quiet in manner.
Most are beginning now to be-
lieve the missing man must be
dead. But Miss Warren and Cap
tain r. E Eddy, the youths father,
do not waver in their hope. Captain
Eddy has offered reward of $500
for any information that may lead
to tracing his son. He says he
stands ready further to spend every
cent in his possession in the search.
Edy and Miss Warren had been
childhood lovers. They passed
through grades and high schoJ<to-
gether and then entered Wooster
university in the same class. Miss
Warren was graduated in 1904, but
her lover left college sooner that he
might the quicker be ready to offer
a home to his promised bride. He
took a position as salesman for the
Albarine Stone company and estab-
lished headquarters in Chicago. He
rented a flat there and was prepar-
ing for his expected wife. He had
written that he would come back to
Wooster Aug. IS. Plans were made
for a big wedding Aug. 81.
Eddy was sent to Milwaukee by
his Arm to make a sale. Suddenly
his letters from Milwaukee ceased.
When detectives entered the
room he had occupied in the hotel
they found all his effects undis-
turbed. His business papers lay
about, and an open book was turned
face downward on the table.
Hotel attaches said the guest had
been acting strangely for Gays. He
appeared worried.
Eddy contracted Cuban fever
while soldier during the Spanish
war. His father thinks it possible
Eddy may be wandering about the
country or may be in a hospital,
unable to recall his identity. He
was wanted as a witness is an as
sault case in y,hic haE aged man
was killed. New York men were
parties to this case. New York po-
lice have been working on the case
on the theory that his knowledge OF
the old mans death may have
caused someone to get Eddy out OF
the way.

FOUR MONTHS IN COUNTY
JAIL WITHOUT A TRIAL

Imprisoned in the county Jail is
H. Kemper, a Bohemian, arrested
for the burglary of the residence
of w. B. Dishman In Union Park
addition. He has addressed a letter
to the Press, in which he complains
of restricted rights.
While the authorities say they
have clear case against him,
Kemper says he was intoxicated
when arrested and never has had
an understanding of the charges,
knowing but little Of the English
language.
The prisoner says he has not had
an attorney during the four months
he has been in Jail without bail.
Up to this morning no informa-
ton has been filed against the man.
a procedure which customarily fol.
lows an arrest within few days.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Lee
admitted this morning that this
style of procedure was an over
sight on the part of the Office.
III will give you no information
on the case" said Mr.. Lee, If you
are trying to work up story on
that.

time for hearing will come when
