with the national convention heard OF

DEEP LAID PLOT ALLEGED
Police Accuse Woman's Nephew OF
Brutal Murder

New York, July 2l.-The tale of
crime so revolving and repete with
cruel craftiness as to be almost unbe-
lieyable is told in the case of Mrs.
Ottillie Eberhard, a we'll to do Wen
nese widow, whose body was found
on the railroad tracks in a lonely sec
tion of Hackensack, ~ j. At first it
was believed that the woman had
been struck by train and killed. Sub
sequent investigation, however, re.
vealed that she had been murdered
and her body placed upon the track
in an effort to destroy traces of the
crime 1t was with this discovery
that there came the first intimation
of the deeply laid and cunningIy exc
cuted plot which places 4he case al
most in a class by itself in the his
tory of crime. AS result of that in
vestigation the police are now search
ing for August Eberhard, the dead
woman's nephew, who had impor-
tuned Mrs. Eberhard to come to this
country and to bring with her her
little fortune of $4,000 and her TWEEN
ty-year-old daughter, whom August
had promised to marry. 1T was large.
ly due to the story told by the daugh.
ter after the finding of the older wo-
mans body that the search for Au-
gust was begun and the police Of
every city in the Eastern section of
the country have been asked to take
him into custody if found. He is
wanted to tell what he knows of the
circumstances related by the girl who
was to have been his wife. The young
woman herself, however, refuses to
believe that August had any part in
the tragic death of her mother, but
despite her pTotestations detective
have gone to the home of the mans
parents, who live on a farm near
Duchess Junction, in Duchess coun.
ty, n. Y, and the search for him is
being prosecuted in many other quar-
ters.
According to the police Eberhard
had been at work for months care
fully plotting the crime to gain pos.
session Of the little fortune that his
aunt in Austria possessed.

DOUBLE ELECTROCUTiON.
Two Murderers Put to Death at Sing
Sing Prison.

Ossining, N. Y, July 21.-Charles
H. Rogers and Angelo Laudiero were
electrocuted in Sing Sing prison. Two
contacts were given in each case
Rogers execution was without spe
cial incident. In the case of Laudiero
a bright flame from the electrodes al
his head was noticed after the first
contact and an odor Of burning hair
pervaded the room.
The crime for which Rogers paid
the death penalty was the killing OF
Willis and Frederick Olney, brothers
at their farmhouse near Middletown
n. Y, Oct. G, 1905, and followed the
dual crime soon after by killing Alice
Ingerick, daughter of Mrs. Georgis
Ingerick, the Olney brothers house
keeper, whom he also assaulted anC
left apparently dead. The object o.
the deeds was robbery. Rogers es
capped, but a year later was arrested
in Los Angeles, Cal.
The murder for which Laudiero wa!
electructed was the result of an olC
feud between him and Michael de Am
bro, ending by the murder of the lat
ter in New York Dec. IA, 1906.

st. Paul, July 21.-That Illuminating

demonstrated by the results of the
under the auspices of the Northwest

made the start three landed within
five hours and though the other two
remained in the air considerably long
er they were able to cover but short
distances.

less than five hours.

he piloted alone, was second in endur'
ance, for the doctor succeeded with
great difficulty in keeping off the

although he was only able to make

EXPECT TO GAIN BY
TAFT-FORAKER FEUD
Democrats Closely Watching
Events in Ohio.

Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-.According
to Democratic leaders who have been
to Fairview and conferred with Mr..
Bryan the ability of the Democratic
party to secure the negro vote In Ohio
will depend largely upon the attitude
of Senator Foraker. So long as he re-
mains outside the Republican breast
works, at least as regards Judge Taft,
the Democrats feel assured of large
negro support in that state. Holding,
as they do, the balance of political
power, there being something like
$4,000 of them, the negroes in the
Ohio campaign will be a most impor-
tant factor. Should however, Sen
ator Foraker become reconciled and
lend his support to Taft it is conceded
that there is little probability of en-
rolling a sufficient number of negro
voters in the cause of Democracy to
materially affect the result. Former
Attorney General Frank S. Monett OF
Columbus and z. H. Moore of Youngs-
town, who was chairman of the last
Democratic state convention in Ohio
are speeding home after a conference
with Mr.. Bryan with instructions to
size up the situation and take every
advantage of the Foraker.Taft feud.

Lincoln, Neb, July 21.-William J.
subject of campaign contributions and
issued a statement appealing to the
Democratic newspapers of the country
to begin the collection of fund from
their subscribers. He believes that
this year the Democrats will receive
a larger campaign fund than ever be
fore and that the money necessary
will come from the masses.
The statement was called forth by
the receipt of kilograms from the
Oklahoman of Oklahoma City and the
News Scimitar of Memphis announc-
ing that they had started dollar sub
scriptions, Mr. Bryan expressed him
self as very much gratified at this
evidence of support. His statement
follows:
Il wish every Democratic paper
would begin the collection Of fund
from its subscribers. There are very
few Democrats who could not afford
to make a small contribution and the
people will never be able to control
the government until they take on
| themselves the burden of supplying
campaign funds. AS long as a few
men furnish the money to finance a
| campaign these men will exert an un-
due influence upon the government.
1T seems that We have reached the
end of corporate contributions and
this is a step in advance, but the in
| dividuals who control these favor
seeking corporations may still dom
mate politics by furnishing the sinews
of war. The Democratic party has
struck a blow at this system by limit
ing contributions to $4,000 and pro
viding for publicity before election.
| THE Republican party has so far
refused TO join with us on this propo,
sition, but public sentiment may yet
| compel ii to do so. | have no doubt
that the Democratic party will receive
| contributions from more individuals
| than ever contributed to any cam
paign and there is no reason why the
entire sum necessary should not be
supplied by contributions from the
masses. If every Democratic paper
| will take the matter up and lend q
helping hand we will soon have money
enough in the treasury to provide fol
legitimate campaign work and that is
all we want"

Guatemalan President Contributed to

Mexico City, July 21.-"Emigra-

who for some time have taken up an
enforced residence in this capital, are
a unit in declaring that DR.. Herman
Prove told the truth regarding Pres
ident Estrada Cabreras (Guatemala)
contribution to the Republican cam
paign fund of 1904. More than a
dozen of them have been interviewed
and most of them expressed surprise
when il was said that DR.. Proves
statement was doubted. They declare
that the payment of the money to the
American minister was more or less
of an open secret and whether the
Republican campaign manager or the
officers of the present administration
know anything of the matter or not
Estrada Cabrera does not forget, for
the promised support from the United
States did not come. This, they
claim, was demonstrated in the past
fortnight by the presence of the Unit
ed States cruiser Albany at the Pa
cific Honduran port of Amapala and
of the gunboat Marietta at the Allan
tic port of Puerto CorteZ. The emf.
