Saylor Murder
Papers Left by Dead Husband Said to
Be Important Evidence Against
DR.. Miller.

CRESCENT CITY, ILL.,. July 15.-Contents
Of the private packet left by the late
banker, ]. B. Saylor, opened today are said
to be of a startling nature. According to
w. r. Nightingale, who was present when
the secret papers were read by brothers
OF the deceased, tn contents of which, he
refused to divulge, have direct bearing
on the killing of Mr.. Saylor by DR.. w. L.
Miller last Sunday as a result OF alleged
attachment of Mrs. Saylor and Dr. Miller.
1--WE can't give what We found to the
public, at least not now," said Mr.. Night
ingale, II will say, however, that 1t is
evidence which will prove Of value to the
prosecution Of DR.. Miller, who is charged
with murder and Of Mrs. Saylor, charged
with being an accessory"
AS soon as the contents Of the packet
were learned by Thomas and Willis Saylor,
brothers OF the late banker and Mr.. Night
ingale, States Tttorney Pallissard, at Wat
seka, was notified by telephone. The
states attorney at once came to this viii

Falling Building
Kills Seven Men
Five-StOry Philadelphia Structure
Collapses and Many Are Buried
Under It.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-In one Of the
buSinest sections of the city, and at a time
when thousands of pedestrians were pass
ing, a five-story brick building at the north
east corner of Eleventh and Market streets,
which was being reconstructed for the
United Gas Improvement company collapsed
this afternoon, burying or pinning beneath
the ruins thirty-two persons, seven Of
whom are dead, one missing, one fatally
injured and twenty-four more or less
seriously injured. Narrow escapes were
many.
Those killed were workmen emplayed
by Sax & Abbott, contractors.
The two lower floors of the building had
been torn up and the three upper floors
were held up by heavy timbers Steel
girders were bracing the timber 1t is
supposed that by moving one OF the girders,
the entire structure was loosened. Before
professional aid could be mustered, auto
mobiles ,teamsters, wagons and all sorts
Of nearby vehicles were filled with the
dead Of injured and hurried TO hospitals.

WASHINGTON, July IA meeting be-
tween President Taft and President Diaz
Of Mexico now being practically assured.
the president and his cabinet are giving
some attention to arrangements for carry
ing out such an unusual and notable event.
President Taft has never met his executive
neighbor but long has cherished the hope
Of doing so.
Exchanges are in progress between the
two executives, Mr.. Taft it was said today
having taken the initiative in expressing
a wish that the heads of the two great
republics Of North America might come
together. Various details of the meeting
expected to take place at Ell Paso at about
the middle Of October remain to be worked
out.
Suggestions have been made that the two
executives clasp hands under a canopy
erected midway Of the international bridge
at El Paso, or that they in turn visit
either shore and extend their well wishes
at these places.

How Shelley Law Helped
JoSlyn to Get the Place

An interesting procedure engineered by
Henry ID, Estabrook, formerly OF Omaha,
now general counsel for the Western
Union. is related In the petition OF the
Clinton JOY Sutphen against George A.
Joslyn In which knowledge OF Shelley's
case and its devious workings helped JOS
lyn 20 acquire the $4,000 estate sutphen's
are now trying to wrest from his.
The story OF the alleged fraud in the
petition runs as follows; After Mrs. SUIT
phens death in 1898 her husband and her
son. not wishing to hold the property for
the throe minor heirs, got Estabrook to
arrange some deal by which they could
dispose OF It. George A. Joslyn offered
them $4,000 for 1t and was given a deed
10 the property whereupon he paid over
$40 900 OF the purchase price. Then he re-
fused, on the lawyers advice, OF course,
20 pay the remainder and suit was brought
20 compel him to execute his contract. In
court he Was represented by another at
torney, but, according to the story. Esta-
brook arranged all the proceedings for both
sides and he made a showing that the title
Of the elder sutphen to the properly was

will
The court. Judge Ferguson, appointed H.
L. Day, as a guardian, for the children
10 see that their interests would be prop
erly cared for and Estabrook proceeded 10
invoke Shelley's case by which Mrs. SUIT
phens disposal OF her property in trust
for her grandchildren was invalid. The
court sustained the motion and Joslyn,
to his own satisfaction. was forced to
pay the remainder of the purchase price
and take possession OF the land. The minor
children made no protest and the deal was
completed.
In order TO cover up the proceeding, so
the petition related, the case was never
indexed at the clerks office and, although
the papers have been in the files since
1888 they have never been numbered
so that they could be found.
This is the story OF fraud and collusion
that the three plaintiffs charge against
Joslyn and their relatives which, II proved,
will result in an awarding TO them OF the
property or in retrisl OF the case in which
the fraud is said TO have been praeticed.

WASHINGTON, July 15.--After a lively
debate the democrats in the house failed
today in their efforts to have a provision
brought in by Mr.. Tawney appropriating
SIS 600 for President Taft's travelling ex-
penses, ruled or stricken out, of an urgent
deficiency bill. The latter measure was
under consideration throughout the session
and will be the subject OF further discus
sion tomorrow.
Members on the democratic side we're un-
sparing in their charges Of bad faith. be-
cause the house at the last session, as they
alleged, pledged itself not to make any
additional allowances to the president This
was vigorously denied by Chairman Taw-
ney and his colleague on the appropria-
ton committee, Mr.. Smith Of lows.
Aside from that phase Of the case the
opponents Of the appropriation saw no
necessity for it, It being alleged that the
president had not requested It. Mr.. Rainey
Of Illinois gave as the reason for It's pre-
sentation at this time the desire OF the
president to boost" the league OF repub-
lican clubs throughout the country.

Between $4,000 and $4,000 workmen-coal

A majority OF the idle men are In the

Other grievances include the alleged vio-

She also urged. with some show Of feel

no matter how he had treated her. she did
not want to testify against him. But the
court ruled that the only possible grounds
upon which she could decline to answer
