HE'S MISSING PREACHER
Wright Lorimer, Actor Is Rev. Walter
M. b. Lowell.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 7.-Wright Lori
mer. author of 1.-THE Shepherd King
and player of the role of David. con-
fessed last night in his dressing room
at the Lyceum theater that he is the
same man who ten years ago, under the
name of the Rev. Walter NJ. B. Lowell,
was pastor of a Baptist church in North
Scranton. He suddenly abandoned his
charge. leaving behind personal debts
for large amount. Some of these
debts Mr.. Lorimer said last night he
has since paid.
Il paid two bills in monthly Install
ments.'' said the actor preacher, but
as to the other debts. which 1 am ac-
cused of owing. 1 do not consider my
self obligated for them.'
In this connection Mr.. Lorimer re-
marked:
IF it were with other classes than
church people, they would have dis
charged these debts and saved me from
disgrace. They ought to have had that
much respect for themselves
1t was through these debts, particu-
larly a merchants bill, that the identity
of the man became a matter of specu-
lation here, although this is the first
time that Lorimer has made an open
confession. When he was here last
time in the same production member
of his former congregation believed he
recognized the actor as the minister
and sent him a letter addressed to
Wright Lorimer." Inside this envel-
ope, however, was another addressed
to The Rev. Walter Lowell" 1t was
after the receipt of this communication
which was delivered to him in his
dressing room after his first perform
ance that the actor abandoned his COM
pany for the rest of its engagement
here. His place was taken by Carl
Eckstrom, who is still with the com
pany.
W lille no absolute knowledge was OBJ
tanned at that time that Wright Lori
mer and the Rev. Walter Lowell were
the same person, many persons in this
city and especially the former parish
toner's OF the minister in North Scran-
ton believed that it was he. They rec
ognized him, they believed by his voice
and his mannerisms on the stage His
disappearance from the cast after the
decoy letter was sent to him deepened
this impression. Although it has re-
manned no more than much discuss
ed suspicion up to this time no one has
been positive until today.

The third attempt was more success
full, and Jones thought he was free to
wed the woman of his choice, but his
wife, discovering the ruse, had the al
legged divorce set aside on the grounds
of fraud. s.
When Jones and his second wife dis
covered that the Iavenger was after
them. they sought to right matters by
securing an annullment of their To-

summated. Miss Jones charging him

JONES LET OFF EASILY.
Wealthy Negro Pays $500 for Having
Surplusage of Wives.

Theodore Jones, the wealthy Chi
cago negro who pleaded guilty to
bigamy Monday, was given the mini
mum sentence by Judge Dana at a
late hour Tuesday afternoon. Jones's
punishment consists of the payment of
$500 fine and the costs of the suit,
which is easy, considering what might
have been. In passing this light SEN
tence, Judge Dana made a few re-
marks which were not complimentary
to the divorce laws of South Dakota,
the Mecca of separation hunters.
Although this man was technically
guilty of the crime charged" said
Judge Dana, many other persons who
have secured divorce by the South
Dakota system are also technically
safe to say that not more than 10 per
cent of the divorces granted in South
Dakota would bear a rigid scrutiny.
Should the court go outside the
case, upon the suggestion that this de-
PENDANT should be made an example,
the court would also be under the
necessity of considering another fact
that considerable enmity has been
| shown toward this defendant by the
property owners in a certain section OF
this city.
1.-THE defendant will be sentenced to
pay fine Of $500 and the costs of this
case
Jones Immediately walked into the
district court, and paid the fine. In
passing from the court room, he had
to walk close by wife No. 1, who, with
the natural bitterness of 1.-The woman

years Botkin should turn in and help
make Leland governor.

Judge W. R. Smith, former JUS
tice of the Kansas supreme court and
now general attorney for the Santa
Fe, makes this statement concerning
pontlcal conditions in Kansas:
1.-The election of Stubs and the en-
tire state ticket by large majorities is
certainty. Botkin presents no
scheme OF reform not preempted in
the Republican platform There are
hundreds of Democrats enthusiastic
for Bryan who will not vote for Bot
kin. Until four years ago it was the
consistent policy of every Democratic
convention to denounce sumptuary
laws and inveigh against prohibition
as destructive of personal liberty.
"A class of Republicans who here
tofore prof1ted by the violation of law
have been chased into the Democratic
party by the attorney general or the
Anti Horse Thief association. This
element and the original liberal Dem
ocrats may not all support Stubs, but
they can be relied on to withhold their
votes from a Methodist preacher who
in revivalist fashion has persistently
exhorted the law breaker to turn
from his wickedness and live
Stubs, it is said. can swear fluent
ly on adequate provocation and has
not offended the lawless element by a
sanctimonious display of righteous
ness. He is a good mixer and has
the diplomatic faculty of impressing
the voter in a confidential way with
the belief that he agrees with ION on
every subject without saying SO.
''Stubbs will lose a very small per
cent of the Republicans who voted for
Leland at the primaries. They are the
'stalwarts' of the party who are in the
habit of voting straight. Their allegi-
ance to the ticket will not be shaken
by reason of their defeat in a prelimi-
nary skirmish between men of their
own political faith.
Democratic enthusiasm in this state
is centered on Bryan. There is no
dissatisfaction so far as he is concern
ed. He will fail in Kansas because
there are not Democrats enough. While
he cannot carry the state, he can poIl
the full Democratic vote, which cannot
be said of Botkin. am well convinced
that Stubs will have a larger ma
| jority than Taft"
