.NEM|AER N n R HELD ON
:. MURDER CHARGE
Preliminary Hearing Brought
Out Damaging Testimony
Against Him

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Hassin Nemmer
was held by coroner's jury today on
the charge of being the murderer Of
Tuffa Shashem, the Syrian lad whose
body was recently recovered piece
meal, from various places, including
Mud lake and the drainage canal.
Witnesses told. stories which point
ed strongly toward the guilt of Mem
mer. According to the testimony he
was degenerate; he had threatened
ito kill the Shashem family and drink
its blood" Tuffa Shashem was last
seen alive on the day of his disap-
pearance entering Nemmer's rooms;
Nemmer on that night was seen in the
vicinity where the dismembered body
was found later. He was carrying a
bundle of obvious weights; blood
stains were found on articles in his
room.
Nemmer, who is Turk and a de-
vout mussulman, was represented by
an attorney during the forenoon ses-
sion of the inquest, but this aid was
absent during the afternoon when
Nemmer asked leave to make state
ment. This the coroner would not al
low, but Nemmer insisted to the de-
tectives, as he has all along, that he
is innocent of the crime charged
against him.

Hartman Lines Have Notified
Construction Companies of
Intended Purchase
LARGEST ORDER THAT HAS
BEEN OFFERED SINCE PANIC
Six Thousand Steel Cars Wanted and
Competition Among the Competing
Concerns Will be Lively-Purchase
Will be Made at Early Date.

Z New York, Aug. 13.-The Hartman
roads are in the market for six thous-
and steel cars. No order has been
placed but the car equipment COM
panies have been notified that this
amount represents the total of an
early purchase by the Hartman lines,
and for more than half of the cars
there have been filled specifications
on which the equipment companies
may base their bids. The competition
between the companies is said to be
keen, for the order, if filled, will be
all together the largest since the
panic. The estimated cost of the six
thousand steel cars range from &c.
100000 to $7,O00,0OO.
1t is expected that the lower figure
Will prove nearer correct for the rea-
son that the competition between the
car equipment companies may result
in cut prices.

WOMAN FOUGHT
DESPERATE MAN
Assaulted and Beaten, She
Fought for Eight Miles
to Help

Stamford, Conn.,, Aug. 13-Miss
Clara Anderson, a trained nurse, was
assisted into police headquarters at
South Norwalk early yesterday. Her
clothing was torn, her hair dishevel-
led, her face cut and bruised. She
was semi-hysterical and swooned.
Recovering she told strange story
which led to the arrest of James
Kelley, young waiter Of this city.
He was found at Darien.
Miss Anderson, who is twenty-nine
years old, said she left the home of
convalescent patient at Noroton at
1880 last night, intending to catch
the car for this city.
Kelley waylaid her at Noroton, she
declared, knocked her down and
choked her until she was unconscious.
When she got her senses and tore
herself away from him he attacked
her again.
She fought him for an hour, shriek-
ing for help all the time. Kelley only
laughed at her, but finally let her
hurry away. Dazed, she went toward
Norwalk instead of toward Stamford.
Before she had taken twenty steps
Kelley knocked her down yet again.
They struggled for half an hour, again
he desisted and Miss Anderson hurried
toward South Norwalk
Just as the towns lights appeared
ahead, Kelley made fourth attack ON
her. She broke away after another
struggle and ran to doctors mouse:
he took her to the police.

Fuel Can be Shipped in Barges Down

Ashland, Wis. Aug. 13-Efforts are
being made to organize a company for
the purpose of supplying the north
western states with coal to be ship
per in barges via the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers to the twin cities, shorten
ing the railway haul at both ends and
making most of the trip by water.
The bulk of coal delivered in the

Ashland, Milwaukee, Superior, Du-
luth and other ports on lakes Michi-
gan and Superior and from there talk
en- in cars directly to the consumers
in the northwest. Former Governor
Van SAINT of Minnesota, who has a

ey of Laclace, ILL.,, and P. A. Holmes

Blair, referee In bankruptcy for Ale
gheny county. All claims excepting
those of Mrs. William Thaw and
Roger O'Mara are contested and no.
tice is also served on the referee that
Thaw will contest any claim which
Lawyer Dan O'Reilly Of New York
may make.
O'Reilly will now become the bright
particular target for the batteries of
Thaw's counsel and Receiver Roger
O'Mara unless all signs fail. O'Reilly's
activity in the affairs of Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw have angered members
of the Thaw family and his announced
intention of attempting to collect
$37 900 from Harry Thaw is certain
to lead to some sensational develop
ments unless he changes his present
attitude.
Receiver OMara does not expect
Clifford w. Hartridge to press his
claim for $60,0OO O'Mara intimated
yesterday that as receiver for Thaw
he can bring active criminal proceed
ings against any person whom he finds
has misappropriated funds belonging
to Thaw. O'Mara has publicly stated
that Hartridge misappropriated a
large sum of money given him to pay
the expenses of Thaw's first trial
IF Hartridge gets fresh he will

Methodist Church Oppose Reelection
of Those Favorable to Him.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. l3-The
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. church mas be-
gun an active crusade for the cleo
ton of speaker, who will allow
congress to vote on the Interstate
liquor shipment BILL" The church,
which has over 100000 of communi-
cants, has created the temperance So
ciety of the Methodist-E Episcopal
church, with authority to represent
the denomination IN ill temperance
matters. This society is managed by
board composed Of bishop and
fifteen members named by the bishop
and elected by the late general con-
ference.
The board of managers has organ
ized and directed it's chairman to be-
gin an active campaign. An official
address has been issued to all men,
bers of the denomination asking their
cooperation. .....
The shipment bill' which has been
pending in congress for at least five
years, does not seek to impose pro-
hibition on any locality. but provides
that liquor shipped from one state
to another shall upon crossing the
boundary become subject to the laws
of the state into which it is con-
signed.
"The speaker of the national house
of representatives" says the address,
absolutely controls it's proceedings.
He is opposed to this legislation. He
has used the power of his office to
hold it in the judiciary committee ap-
pointed by him, on the alleged ground
that it is unconstitutional. Our
church by action of the recent general
conference, insists that congressional
doubt as to the constitutionality of
such legislation be resolved in the in
terests of the people and the public
moral and that the general confer
ence unanimously adopt the report of
Gov, Hanlys special committee ap-
pointed to wait upon Speaker Cannon,
which close with the following: We
submit to our people and to all good
citizens the wisdom of electing men
as members of congress who believe
in its validity, and VINO are willing
to exact It,
cat least one member of the house
judiciary committee has been defeated
for the nomination on his record on
this question, and we believe that the
time has come when our people who
want to help secure this legislation
must support for congress candidates
who will not only vote for this meas
ure, If they get chance, but will
themselves support for speaker man
who will allow 1t to be voted upon,
and that its massage is improbable
until Christian voters recognize this
situation and cast their ballots ac-
cordingly."

SAILED LAKEWARD
Airship Gearing Broke and Operator
Had Narrow Escape.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 13.-Captain
Jack Dallas, who is making daily
flights in a dirigble balloon from
Wonderland, pleasure resort of this
city, had a thrilling experience this
morning when he had narrow es-
cape from being blown into Lake
Michigan. Captain Dallas covered a
distance of two and half miles from
the resort. circled the city hall tower
and then sailed toward the lake, in
tending to make his return trip. At
this juncture something went wrong
with the carbureter and the balloon
was driven toward the lake. Captain
Dallas cnly way of escaping possible
drowning in the lake was to let the
gas escape from the bag. This he did
and after firing three shots to warn
his assistants threw long rope
toward the earth, the end of which
was caught and landing effected in
Juneau park, on the lake front, after
brushing through the trees.

Trouble on Canadian Northern.

Winnipeg, Aug. 13-Before noon to-
day quarter million dollars was paid
to the 1000 G. p. r. strikers at the
Merchants bank by Paymaster Nc
Pherson. This, with the amounts paid
out at other points in the west,
makes the sum distributed nearly a
million dollars. It is authoritatively
stated that no strike benefits will be
paid before August 26.
At Medicine Hat, sixteen strike
breakers from the Santa Fe railway
we're brought in this morning. The
Chinese restaurant proprietors refus-
ed to serve meals to these men and
all will be boarded in the yards.
A general meeting of all the unions
of the c. P. R. train service with the
local lodges at Kamloops, was held
this afternoon in that city for the
purpose Of discussing the strike. This
was the first meeting of the trainmen
of the Pacific division regarding the
strike and it is significant. A meet

woman IN Hypn0tlc State Is Under.
going Awful Experience.
Toledo. o., Aug. 13.-Nailed up in an
ordinary coffin and buried six feet
deep, Florence Jessie Gibson, a pretty
eighteen-year-old girl, is sleeping
away a ten-day, hypnotic slumber
into which she was thrown by Bunda
kupparow, Hindu mystic, while
about the grave in Cedar Point, Park,
pleasure resort near Sandusky, o.,
thousands of persons gather daily to
take turns peering down through a
glass-covered chute upon the face of
the young woman.
This crowd may be roughly divided
into three camps-frst, physicians
and scientific investigators, who have
gathered at the place from all over
state. glad of a chance to study the
case; second, members Of humane
societies who are making determin-
ed effort to have the exhibition stop
ped, on the ground that 1t is barbar-
Gus and cruel, and the third, this last
being the largest group of all, the
morbid and idly curious who have
come from the same impulse that
causes so many persons to flock to
the funeral OF stranger.
Unless the humane societies sue
ceed in their crusade Florence Gibson
will stay where she is until ten days
have passed.
The box that holds the girl is of
the ordinary casket design, with
satin lining upon which her head
rests. The likeness to the cof1ned
dead is CHASTITY.

At his request physicians unscrewed

ject The sleeping girls face was
white and pinched looking, but she
breathed regularly and her pulse was
only slightly below normal.
There was lot of excitement dur
ing the exhumation, as it had been re-
ported that the society would make an
effort by main force to rescue the
sleeper from the East Indian.
The body, however, was returned to
the earth after Kupparow had de-
monstrated that no imaginable defect
could tie up the automatic pumps and
valves by which fresh air !s carried
down into the grave.
Mrs. Fannie Everett, president Of
the Sandusky Humane society, has
been working hard to stop the show
by legal means. She has asked for al.
injunction, but the cour. could find TO
law to cover the situation as the girl
is of age and voluntarily submitted to
the burying alive ordeal.
Miss Gibson is a Pennsylvania girl,

Supposed to Have Gone to
Death to Keep an Ap-
pointment
WAS FOUND WITH -FOUR
STAB WOUNDS IN BREAST
Slayers We're Frightened by Rush Of
Nearby Persons and Did Not Have
Chance to Rob Victim If Such Was
Their Motive.

New York, Aug. 13.-Ambushed in
a lonely spot known as Murderers'
Field on Lincoln road, in the Flat
bush section of Brooklyn last night,
P. Barilla, well-to-do hotel keeper
of Woodhaven, was attacked and
killed by number of men. Barilla
is thought to have gone to the place
to keep an appointment, as letter
was found on his person, seemingly
written in blood. Barilla rode to the
scene on bicycle and carried a
magazine revolver, which he nearly
emptied in desperate defense. Per-
sons near by heard the shots and rush.
ing to the place saw the men fleeing
across the fields. Barilla was found
dead wit hfour stab wounds in his
breast and back and two bullet
wounds. The slayers were frightened
away before they had an opportunity
to rob the victim if that was their mo-
tive as large roll of bills and gold
were left.
Antonio del Martoe, cousin of
Barlla, is held awaiting an investi-
cation. From several letters found
in the dead mans pockets it seems
certain that Barilla was the victim of
a "black hand" plot. The police assert
that the same band that hacked and
hewed man to pieces several months
ago and dumped the dismembered
body, wrapped in oil cloth near the
scene OF last nights killing is re-
sponsible for Barrilla's death.
