MRS. TAFT FEARS
GREAT DIVORCE EVIL

New York, June 25.-The great
est peril that confronts the coun-
try today, in the opinion of Mrs.
VIM. Howard Taft, the wife of the
Republican nominee for president,
is the situation arising from the
laxity of the divorce laws and the
countenancing Of divorce by the
highest social circles.
eff it were in my pow er," said
Mrs. Taft in an interview, "di-
vorce would be stopped entirely.
There are cases of course where
separation might be granted, but
thsre should be no remarriage al
lowed. The laxity of our divorce
laws is a menace to the very NOR
al fiber of our nation. It is an APP
palling evil and it seems to be on
the increase instead of diminish
ing.

read Of persons one never knew
who obtained divorces, but now
everyone comes in contact with
divorced people-in every class Of

SOCIETY MAY BE GUILTY

Trinidad, June 24.-The coro-
ner's jury began an inquiry yes
terday afternoon into the death of
Domencio Trungalle, the Italian
rancher whose dead body was
found on June 6. The taking Of
testimony was begun at noon, AMI
at late hour last night all the
evidence was not in. Sensational
testimony was offered to show
that Trungalle's murder was the
outcome of the enmityof an Italian
secret society whose wrath he hal
incurred by joining the Italian
army, and also that there was a
connection between his murder
and that Of Joe Maniscobco, a
Hastings ranchman who disap-
peared last November and whose
body was found last April.
Officers who have been working
on the case told that they had Sc
cured evidence to show that both
men had been driven from their
native country and bounded from
New York to Illinois and later to
Colorado before they were finally
murdered. Evidence was also in
troduced to show that Trungalle
may have been killed out Of re-
venge for an assault made several
months ago upon Vincenzo Mine

the death of Mr.. Manner three
years ago his wife and daughter
have spent the greater part of
their time in Europe. While So
journing in Rome a year ago,
they attended function at which
the leading members of the Ro-
MN art colony were present, and
upon this occasion the Merquis
del Fierro was presented to Miss
Manner by Robbi, the painter. A
romance developed Immediately,
and the aged marquise was also
captivated by the young Ameri-

The Marquis del Fierro is 80
years old and direct descendant
of the Duke d'Olivres, one of the
most conspicuous figures in Span
ish history. He and his mother,
who is 62 years old and known all
over southern Europe for her
charities, have lived in Rome for
number Of years. Here the
young marquis attracted favora-
BILE attention by his painting and
musical ability. Several years

Diamonds And Other Loot Is
. Found h Hollow Log By
Children At Play
MD BY RYAN GANG

Breckenridge, Colo, June 90
Several hundred dollars worth
of diamonds and jewelry was
found this morning in hollow
log near the top of Mt. jacques
by some children at play. Thu
loot is believed to have been ca
ched by the one-time famous Pug
Ryan gang, which operated all
over the state about 10 years ago.
A search is being made to see il
more valuables can be located.
This is believed to be the plum
der the robbers secured when
they held up the Denver Hotel
club house in 1898. This was
particularly audacious piece of
work. They descended upon the
place early in the morning and
secured everything of value worth
taking, at the points of revolvers.
They then rode leisurely away and
warned all that to follow them
would be certain death. No one
did. Z
A short time afterwards they
! murdered two miners at Victor,
and two of the robbers were shot
in the back while escaping from
a posse sent out to capture them.
Three years ago Ryan, the lead
er, was captured in Seattle, and
is now serving a long term in
the penitentiary for burglary.
The recovery of the watches,
diamonds and jewelry today, it
is believed will cause a thorough
search to be made by persons liv
ing in Kokomo and Breckenridge
in an effort to locate more of the
plumber

LARGE PROPERTY LOSS

Chicago, June 25.-Six persons
were killed and two fatally in
jured and the lives of 30 imperil-
led when fire broke out in the
works of the Pabst Chemical com
pany, 176 Huron street, this morn-
ing.
The lower portion of the build
ing is used by the company and
the three upper floors are occu-
pied by roomers. Mrs. Mary Do
Ian, care-taker of the building,
with her three children, were ere
mated, having been caught on an
upper floor. Two unidentified men
were also burned to crisp.
The two occupants who were
fatally injured jumped from
third story windows in a vain
effort to escape the flames.
The cambustible material on the
lower floor made the spread of the
fire rapid, and the dang erous gas
es that were let loose made the
work of the firemen difficult.
Most of the employees of the
works escaped without injury The
building, an old one, burned like
finder, and more than two dozen
roomers on the upper floors saved
their lives by jumping.
Mrs. Dolan was working on an
upper floor when the fire broke
out, and being in a back room
with her ehil drep- did not hear the
alarm. When she discovered tina

she led them to the top of the
stairs and then the entire family
was overcome by smoke and few
minutes later incinerated.
