years, during which time his presence
was not missed in the cream city,

LESLIE CARTER DEAD.
Chicago Capitalist Succun1bs After
Lonu Illness.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 26.--Leslie Car
ter, one time capitalist and president
of the South Side Elevated Railway
company of Chicago, died in this city
yesterday after a prolonged illness.
Mr. Carter has not been active in
business for some years. He suffered
a stroke of paralysis a few years ago,
and recently his system became poi
soned from the fumes of gas, which,
presumably by accident, had escaped
into his room.
A few months ago he was declared
mentally incapable of caring for his
estate and CONSERVATION was appoint
ed. The decedent was born in 1851,
was a lawyer by profession, but de-
voted himself chiefly to commercial
pursuits. He was at one time presi-
dent of the Chicago Dock company,
the Chicago chamber of commerce,
and was interested in many other
civic and financial organizations both
in Chicago and New York.
The present Mrs. Leslie Carter
Payne was up to the time of their di-
vorce some Is years ago the wife of
Mr. Carter.

saw that the detective knew his
game, he surrendered but said,
Might as well take me to the rail
way station and see me off; you amt
got nothing on me. A man hasn't
got half a chance to operate in the
walk of a short city block. l amt
found no loose coin yet"
Johnny was surprised, however, to
learn of the vagrancy law in this
state which provides for cases such
as his. So he was sorry that ne had
acknowledged that he was a dip
one of the most famous in the United
States. His record on a Bertillion
card received from Washington, D.
c., is longer than that of nearly any
three criminals.

lice officers, has a dozen aliases.
His measurements were found to
have varied slightly since his last
visit, when he was but 80 years old.

CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
At ITS MAXIMUM
HORRIBLE SITUATION IN GENE
Terry OF ST. PETERS,
BURG

st, Petersburg, Sept 26.-The choI-
era epidemic in ST. Petersburg, in
the opinion of experts, now has
reached it's maximum.
A visit yesterday to Preodraieck
cemetery disclosed the fact that the
burial squads still are unable to keep
pace with the number of dead re-
ceived there The mortuary trains
which run there twice daily convey
an average of over $50 bodies for
burial.
In shed near the entrance to the
cemetery were found about $50 collins
piled in a confused heap. Some ac
cording to statements of attendants,
have been awaiting burial for a week
The odor in the shed was almost I'M
bearable.
Sixty or 20 more collins were
stacked outside the cemetery chapel,
while inside that building were collins
of 1870 victims. The majority of the
collins were nothing but rude board
boxes with gaping cracks and knot
holes, sililar to packing cases used
for machinery in the United States.
Mourners and workmen handle the
collins freely and the graves are SO
shallow as to offer danger of infec-
ton for years to come.

HASKELL QUITS,
To SEEK REDRESS
RESIGNS AS TREASURER OF THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
COMMITTEE.
SENATOR DUPONT, INDICTED RE-
PUBLICAN, ALSO GIVES UP
POSITION.

Chicago, Sept. 26-Govenor Has
kell at midnight last night resigned
as treasurer of the democratic ma
tional committee. His resignation
was announced by himself three
hours after his arrival in Chicago
from Guthrie. Okla, and after he had
conferred with officials at the demo-
cratic national headquarters here. In
giving out his decision Governor Has
kell, in response to a question, de-
clared that he did not desire to be
responsible for any embarrassment
which might result to the democratic
party for his retaining the Office Of
treasurer.
That his resignation is a direct re-
suit of the charges made against him
by Hearst and President Roosevelt,
Haskell admitted. At the same time
he did not by his resignation intend
to admit that any of the charges
were true. In his room at the ho-
tel he was closeted for a long time
with National Committeeman Martin
J. Wade of Iowa and Josephus Dan
iels, chairman of the democratic
press committee. It was midnight
when Haskell reappeared from The
room He had in his hands MS
written resignation addressed to Ma
After giving an affirmative reply to
the question whether he had re
signed, but denying that Mr.. Bryan
had asked for his resignation, he
said he did not see how Bryan could
have known of the charges made
against him by Hearst before he was
appointed treasurer, admitted that
the charges, whether true or false,
might injure Bryans chances, but
any way he would not risk embar-
rassment in the fight of the people
against special interests.
President Joins Hearst.
In his message to Chairman Mack,
Haskell stated that in the attack up
on him the president and cabinet
joined forces with Hearst and three
Wall street brokers. He said:
Hints at Legal Redress.
Personally / welcome their attack
and shall meet it with all the vigor
at my command I shall treat them
all as private citizens and subject to
the penalties of the law which they
merit"
He resigns, he says, so that not
the slightest contest of my own
could in any way be used by the
president to cloud the sky and shield
our opponents from discussing the
real issues and laying bare republi-
