MAN WITH 4 MILLION DIES
Edward Steinhauser Blows Out
Strains in Pittsburg.
Mysterious Suicide OF Second Member
of Old and Rich FaInily-Two
Brothers Die in Same Way.

Pittsburg, Pa ~ Edward Stein
hauser, member of one of the Oldest
rich families of Pittsburg, supposed to
be worth more than 100000 in
his own name, killed hims;lf in the
American House.
There is much of the mysterious
surrounding the case, and none Of his
relatives or friends will talk. It is
intimated by some interested in the
stock market that Steinhauser has
been plunging heavily and perhaps
on the wrong side.
He was thirty-eight years old, and
his last thoughts were for his mother,
grandmother and sisters whom he did
not want thrown into panic by hav-
ing news of his suicide 'phoned, nor
did he wish them to see his mutilated
body. He arranged for all this before
shooting himself. At the American
House Steinbauser registered at wv
F. Lawrence, City" and wrote the
following letter:
Mr. w. S. Wilson, No 925 Penn ave-
nue., Pittsburg:
Dear Billy-Break the news to
the dear ones at home. Title and
mamma are at Annie's for supper, but
grandma is at home. / cannot help
this. Forgive me. dear friends. |
cannot rest until am with George.
ED.
''P. S.--Will, don't phone home
about this. You might startle them
You go to Annie's yourself and tell
them. And, Will, have my body fixed
up right before it is taken home. Let
them remember me as l was. Good
bye, old pal, goodbye"
He blew out his brains standing
before a mirror The George re-
ferred to was a younger brother of
the suicide, who died under similar
circumstances some years ago.

Bucket shops"-a name now used
TO denote small outside" stockholders
or iinanciers not in membership with
the Stock Exchange-were SO called
because when they first started in
chicago the only commodity dealt in
by small spectators TO any extent
was wheat. The Legitimate dealers
would not handle an order for less
than 1000 bushels, and then lot Of
places sprung up where men of lin
lted capital could speculate with very
smali sums, and these men were spo-
ken OF contemptuously as buving and
selling wheat by the bucketful: hence
shops where small business WAS
conducted In grain on Il margin came
10 be known rs bucket shops. The
term was finally extended to cover nh
brokerage offices where small lots of
either grain OF stock were bought ana

TO those places where both seller and
buyer did not more than gamble" on

ing the Governors authority and duty
in such matters, and said the Governor
had corrected an error of the court in
the Harper case.
Judge Morris continued:
"As stated in my former commune
cation, and, as the record shows, the
jury returned q verdict finding guilty
without recommendation. | was
compelled, under the plain letter of the
law, to pass the death penalty nron the
defendant; / had no discretion in the
matter.
The attorneys appointed to defend
Kellogg failed to make a motion for a
new trial. l had no authority under
the law to interfere with the verdict in
the absence of motion, OF to modify
the sentence prescribed by law. Twas
powerless to do anything except appeal
to you for executive clemency.
GOVERNOR BROWNS POSITION.
Governor Brown quotes law which
he says shows that Judge Morris should
nave corrected the error made by the
jury and proceeds:
Now, as a final declaration to Won. 7
will state that in every other appliea-
ton for executive clemency in which
my decision was published in the press.
there was brought before me supple-
mentary evidence which the Jury had
never heard. But the kellogg case
came with the evidence passed upon nv
the jury, to which were attached only
a petition signed by few people, and
your letter, wherein you gave no
reasons, both asking that for the death |
penalty be substituted Communication to !
imprisonment for life.
Against the above were filed latters
from nine of the jurors who urged that
their verdict was just and ought to
stand.
You and the G 'ntlemen who signed
The petition, therefore, are the onlv
les who have made the naked issue
which says that the executive office
should set itself in direct opposition to
me courts; or that the will of The
governor on precisely the same prssen-
'atlon OF facts, should overrule and set
'side the will of the jury. / will state
lnequivoeally that these con.
lauons shalt not prevail while
