ECLIPSE OF The sun.
Scientists Have Gone to Flint Island
to Observe 1t.

Washington, Jan. Sin order to OBJ
serve the eclipse of the sun today,
which appears as a total eclipse in the
tropical Pacific ocean, Mr.. c. C. Abbott,
director of the Astro-Physica1 observa-
tory of the Smithsonian institution, has
been sent to Flint island 400 miles
northwest of Tahiti. The eclipse is
total between IL and II O'Clock today
in that longitude which corresponds to
between 4 and O'Clock Washington
time. Mr.. Abbott, with an assistant,
joined a party headed by Prof. w. w.
Campbell of Lick observatory of Cali
fornia, and sailed on the steamer Mari
posa from San Francisco on November
22 The gunboat Annapolis furnished
transportation between Tahiti and
Flint island
Mr.. Abbott's observations comprise
an examination with the Langley bolo-
meter of the suns corona, especially
towards it's inner part, to help decide
what is the most probable cause of it's
luminosity. For this corona1 light three
sources have been suggested, viz: The
reflection of ordinary sunlight; the
emission of light owing to the high
temperature Of small particles near the
sun, and the emission of light by
lumine sence like that of the aurora
borealis. 1t was proposed also to OBJ
serve with instruments the peculiari-
ties of skylight before the day of the
eclipse SO that even if clouds should
obscure the eclipse there would still
be something of value brought back
from the trip.

TOO MUCH STRYCHNINE.
New York Society Woman Dying
From Effects of Poison.

New York, Jan. 3.-That Mrs. Van
ness Roberts, we'll known in New
York society, is dying of an overdose
of strychnine, self administered, was
reported to the office Of Coroner Acri-
telli today. The coroner went to Mrs.
Roberts apartments at 227 River
side drive and found two persons at
tending her but she was unconscious
and believed to be dying. From the
physicians and members of the house
hold he learned that Mrs Roberts
had been suffering from heart trou-
BILE for some time and had been TAX
ing minute doses of Strychnine as a
heart stimulant.
Last evening one of her physicians
was notified that she had collapsed.
and when he reached her apartment
she was in a critical condition. One
of the maids said Mrs. Roberts had
taken several of the strychnine tab
let's Whether the overdose was taken
with intent to commit suicide the doc
tors could not say. 1t was reported
that Mrs. Roberts had suffered finan-
cial losses.

LOWE BOY is BACK.
He May Not Have Been Kidnapped
After ALL

Elmer Lowe, the 11-year-old eleva-
tor boy in the Crawford building. who
on December 16, has returned to To-
peka- He was found in Denver by his
uncle, Harvey Lowe. When taken
before Assistant County Attorney
Jamison last evening by his uncle. the
boy backed down on some of his for
mer statements, and although he ad
mitted that he was talked to" by
George Augustus Cook, the alleged
kfdnaper, he says he did not leave
town against his own will. 1t is con-
his uncle and grandmother. that Cook
shipped the boy out of town because
he did not want him to be present as
a witness IN the case now pending
wherein MSs. Mary Lowe, the boys
grandmother, is trying to get posses
sion of a younger child. Ira Lowe.
No warrant has been issued for
Cook, the probable defendant in the
kidnapping case.
This is the case resulting from the
tangled marital relations of George
Augustus Cook. Cook married the
Lowe boys divorced aunt, and then
it was forcibly called to his attention
that his former wife was still on deck.
Instead of suing him for bigamy, Mrs.
Cook No. 1 started other trouble for
him, and he tried to retrench by suing
wife No. 1 for divorce, claiming that
he thought she was dead when he
married Mrs. Lowe. This case is still
pending, as well as half a dozen as
sorted cases in which the various
members of the Lowe family are suing
! each other for the possession of chill
dren. The boy concerned in this
latest development was supposed to be
| a witness who would interfere with
| Cooks plans to get a divorce from
| his charter-member wife, also in the
case wherein the grandmother. Mrs.
Mary Lowe. is trying to get possession
| of a younger grandchild. A majority
| of the Lowe family seems to be di-
vorced from some one else. and the
| boy who left home. or was kidnapped,
| is not the son Of the woman who mar
eird Mr.. Cook, the gentleman who
| failed to get a divorce from wife No.
1. The whole Cook-Lowe affair is SO
badly scrambled that the principals
| themselves are not sure what they ara
| fussing about. Likewise, none of
| them know where they are it" Cook
| does not known whether he Is to be
prosecuted for bigamy or for stealing
| his No wife's nephew and shipping
him to Denver. Any spectator in this
comedy, who sits for hours ana hears
all the contesting parties have to say,
| does not know whether Cook is guilty
of bigamy, kidnapping, disorderly con-
| duct or general cussedness-

FALSIFIED HIS BOOKS.
Employe of California Bank Makes
Confession.

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-Another SEN
sational chapter was added to the Cali
fornia Safe Deposit & Trust company
scandal when H. L. Storrs, one of the
bookkeepers of the concern broke down
under a merciless ross-examination
and confessed that the false entries in
the books were in his handwriting, and
had been under orders from ]. Dalzell
Brown, the imprisoned manager of the
bank, and J. D. Robertson, the fugitive
assistant secretary.
The confession made by Storrs was
complete in every respect and estab-
lished the fact that nearly 81 100000 had
been falsely added to assets of the bank
in order to deceive the state commits
sioners. More than $500,000 had been
fraudulently added to the accounts of
Brown, Walter j. Bartnett and the San
Francisco and San Joaquin Coal COM
pany alone In order to balance the
books, he said that like sum had been
charged against depositors in the bank
The confession Of Storrs was made in
the bank building at California and
Montgomery streets after he had been
subjected to a searching examination
by Assistant District Attorney William
Hoff Cook and Theodore Kytka, the

arrest every member of the street
gathering that contained more than
three persons. Two of today's rioters
were badly hurt. one of them being
cut in the throat with a knife but not

The LIGHTS GO OUT. ), :
Attorney Generals Custer Move Puts
Leavenworth in the Dark.

Leavenworth, Jan. 3.-Manager
Springer of the Leavenworth Light
and Heating company, when asked
today as to whether or not the Citi-
zen's committee would go ahead with
the lighting of the streets said, mo,
have just been notified tc turn the
lights off tonight if possible. I am
sorry for this, but of course I can not
personally stand the expense and un-
less the city administration decides
to pay for lights, they will continue to
stay out Indefinitely"
The members of the committee
have refused to make any further COL
lections for lights for the reason that
the attorney general has brought suit
against Captain Taylor, charging him
with contempt of the injunction Of
the supreme court
