SLAIN BURGLAR
LED DOUBLE LIFE
MAN KILLED BY DOCTOR
TED SEVERAL RoBBERIES.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-That Louis Lauter-
bach, the former convict, shot dead by
DR.. Adolph Gehrmann while in the act
of robbing the latter's home, was a
criminal Jekyll and Hyde is a theory
evolved by police officials who are
working to clear up score of myster-
ious burglaries committed in the
neighborhood OF the dead mans home.
Following Lauterbachs identified
ton by his widow, it was learned that
the penitentiary for burglary and that
he had absented himself from home
at different times in e mysterious man
ner.
Lauterbach never explained these
absences to his wife, and she always
believed he had gone to another city
On business. He seemed plentifully
supplied with money.
Most of the robberies investigated,
it is said, were committed by lone
burglar who used a dark lantern and
a heavy revolver, and who gained en-
trance to the houses with the aid of
skeleton keys.
A few of the burglaries Lauterbach
is suspected of having committed are:
Sept. 12-B H. Dahlbim, 4256 Cot
tage Grove avenue; SO and other pro-
perty.
Sept 19.-H. e. Detwiler, 4012 Cot
tage Grove avenue; several hundred
dollars worth of goods taken.
Sept. 22-Morrison Cafe, 279 Forty
third street; $35 in cash and $45
worth of dishes taken.
Sept PA. l.. Coverdale, dry goods
store, 4240 Cottage Grove avenue;
$500 in currency.
Sept. 25-J. Walsh, grocer. APO
Cottage Grove avenue; $35 in cash.
Sept 26-Clough & Stone, 3O2
Forty-third street; ESQ live chickens.
Sept. 27-D. Cohn, residence, 1927
Evans avenue; $500 in cash.
Sept. %, F. l.. Porter, 236 Cottage
Grove avenue, merchant; $500 worth
of revolvers and cartridges.
AZ can not believe that my husband
was professional burglar said Mrs.
Lauterbach, when the police suggested
that the dead man might have led a
double life. HE was always so good
and kind to us all and he seemed to
work hard whenever he had any work
to do"
Capt. O'Brien, chief of detectives,
has detailed a number of men on the
case. and every effort will be made 10
discover whether Lauterbach COM
mitted the southside robberies which
are worrying the police.

Dubuque, Oct. 6.-Catherine Butler
has brought suit in the district court
for $4,000 against the National Import
ing company, corporation composed
of residents of Dyersville who con-
Quoted a saloon in that town, and

ing liquor caused him to become an
habitual drunkard, thereby rendering
him unfit and incapable of supporting
his family. She states that her hus-
band paid the defendants for liquor
the past three years the sum of ST.
900 and although she demanded re-
payment of the same the defendants
have refused She charges that de-
PENDANTS have violated the mulct law
in every particular and that they have
sold liquor to her husband at various
times since they were served with a

FINALLY
and SuRALY WINS
THE EQUITY SUIT OF ABBOTT
FAILS TO STAND IN
COURT.
JUDGE LUCK REFUSES TO
ISSUE TEMPORARY
INJUNCTION.
JUDGE
Madison, Oct. /

1uouiSOl, Wv. ..
James E. Abbott has no longer any
chance of getting the republican nom
ance, his last hope being extinguished
yesterday in the circuit court by a
decision rendered by Judge NJ. L.
Lueck, who sat in the proceeding for
Judge Stevens. The petition prayed
for an injunction to restrain Secre
tary of State Frear from certifying
the name of George E. Beedle to the
county clerks as the republican nom.
inee and an order requiring the sec
Rotary of state to certify the name OF
Abbott as such nominee. Judge
Lueck held that even if the direct al.
legations of the petitioner were as
sumed to be true, that is all the allie
cations based upon knowledge, he
then would be seven votes short OF
Mr.. Beedle's total. AS to the other
allegations, based upon information
the Judge said he could not grant the
injunction and order with them as a
basis. In other words, the petitioner
had not made a sufficiently strong
case in his petition to warrant the is
suance of a temporary injunction. To
issue the injunction, therefore, would
be to do irrevocable injury to Mr.
-Beedle, which the court did not feel
warranted in doing.
The decision was delivered orally
by the judge in the presence of Mr..
Beedle Attorney G. A. A. MCGEE and
Assistant Attorney General A. C.
Titus. Neither Mr.. Abbott nor his
attorney, John B. Sanborn, was in
court In fact, Mr.. Abbott has not
been in court at all during this pro
ceeding and it is said that he was
personally Indifferent as to it's out
come, but consented to take the
chance to please some of his friends.

ANNEXATION PROCLAIMED.

London, Oct. THE second and
garian progress for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
OF themselves at the expense of the
status established by the treaty OF
Berlin, consummated last night when
Emperor Francis Joseph formally pro-
claimed the practical annexation oil
Bosnia and Herzegovina to the dual
monarchy. The present situation is:
Turkey calls upon the powers to
preserve to her what they guaranteed
by that treaty
Austria and Bulgaria strongly de-
clare their determination to keep
what they have taken.
Servia is protesting belligerently
against being hemmed in more strong
ly between two unpopular neighbors
and against having the Servians in
Bosnia absorbed into the Austro-
Hungarian nationality.
Paris, Oct IAN international con-
ference to consider the Bulgarian
situation is now assured, according
to statement made here last night.
1t will be proposed by Great Britain,
France, and Russia, acting together,
instead of by one power. These
three powers are in complete accord
on the principle of an immediate con-
ference; Italy is in favor, and even
Germany is expected to adhere to the
proposal.
The news that the proclamation of
the annexation of Bosnia and Here
govina by Austria-Hungary will be
issued today is much commented
upon here This is regarded as show
ing Austrias anxiety to have it an
accomplished fact before she receives
an invitation to attend the interna-
tional conference, into which she
means to go with the provinces in her
pocket.
In official circles statements that
Germany is in any way concerned IN

BREAK IN STOCKS
Wall Street Scared Over Political Sit
uation and Because Of Movement OF
Money From New York Banks.

New York, Sept. 17.-Violent de-
cIines in prices occurred on the stock
exchange this afternoon, the recession
amounting to from to points In the
active issue. There was good deal of
disorder in unloading of stocks and
selling at the time appeared to be ur-
gent.
The explanation of the selling and
lower prices varies. One part of the
situation came about because of the
political scare resulting from recent
interviews with prominent financiers,
who expressed dissatisfaction. from the
Wall street viewpoint, with the polit-
ical outlook in the west. Other explan-
ations for the break were the reason
able turn in the currency movement
out of the New York bank reserves
and into other channels of trade. RUM
ors are in circulation also of a possible
reduction in dividends Of railroad COM
panies owing to a shinkage in earnings
in the face Of recent large expansion
in the share capital. The Hartman
Pacifics, the Hill group, and Reading
were most actively affected, as they
Ihave been the medium of largest op-
erations in speculation.

BEDE DEFEATED FOR CONGRESS
Minnesota's chautauqua Idol Retired
to Private Life.

Minneapolis, Sept 17.-One Of Min
nesota's delegation III congress drops
from the list of candidates as re-
suit Of the primary election. j. Adam
Bede, who is serving his third term
from the Eighth district, is defeated
for denomination by Clarence b. Mil
Ter, of Duluth.
Mr.. Miller's nomination was expect
ed, but not by such decisive vote.
He had q very complete organization
and made surprisingly strong show
ing in places that have been Bede
strongholds. The hlmorist congress-
man evidently lost ground as 9. result
of his personal attack on Mr.. Miller
in Duluth Thursday night, but his de-
feat was certain even before that
speech. The impression was general
over the district that Mr.. Bede had not
been sufficiently attentive to the needs
of his constituents, and his friendship
for Speaker Cannon was point used
effectively against him.
Mr. Miller made very favorable
impression on the pc eople as he covered
the district, and brilliant congress
sional career is predicted for him. He
has no opponent for the general cleo
ton but a socialist, and is sure WIN
ner. He is 36 years old, a graduate OF
the University of Minnesota and sue
cessful lawyer in Duluth. His frs.
public service was in the legislature OF
1907, where he won high place, and
was one of the leaders both on the floor
Of the house and in committee work.

SMOKE DOES SOME GOOD.
Forest Fires Rid Country Of Late Fall
Mosquitoes.

m00QuttO0Ss
Minneapolis, Sept. 17.-The pail OF
smoke from the blazing forests OF
northern Minnesota still hangs heavily
over Minneapolis and has grown heav-
Ter steadily until last ngiht 1t had be-
come almost a fog. The moon was the
ruby-red which is seen thru the haze
of harvest time.
AS a matter of fact, there Is fog
with smoke. The winds from the north
east, which have swept the clouds OF
smoke over Minneapolis have passed
over the great lakes and the moisture
they carried is attracted into tiny glob-
ules by the fine particles in the smoke.
Truly it's an i'll wind that blows
nobody good and while it's little
enough compensation it is a fact that
the forest fires which have swept bare
SO much of the iron range country
have made Minneapolis free from mos
ouitoes. Instead Of the bloodthirsty
hoardes of the pests which generally
afflict Minneapolis during the early
part of September the city is free from
them, the smoke has driven them away.
The iron range country will be free
from mosquitoes and other bug pests
next year. too, for the fires have de-
stroyed the bugs and the vegetation
which they feed on, as well as all
available places for them to breed and
Law eggs. The mosquito going to the
iron range next spring will have to
carry his lunch with him. But the
birds, too, will find the board rather
slim,
