HUNT FOR HONEYWELL
OCCUPIES THE POLICE
Mystery of the Young Man Remains
UnsOlved, hut Credence II
Given Suicide Theory.

Did w. r. Honeywell really drown him
self in the Missouri river July q, and did
his dead body pass under the Douglas
street bridge at 6 a m Frtday7
This is the question the Omaha police are
asking and which they think may be an
swered in the affirmative.
At 6 a m. Friday morning the bridge
man on the Douglas street bridge observed
a floater going dow the stream. He
notified the police station, and word was
sent to South Omaha and Gibson to be on
the watch for the body.
The bridgeman said he thought the body
was that of a woman. but he did not say
how he could tell 1t was. The police thinI
Il may be H~oneywell's, and tina the Har-
Ian man made good his threat.
Honeywell left his home early in the
week and his father notified the Omaha
police to lock the young man up II found
in this city, The father, who is ]. B
Honeywell OF Harlan. feared that his son
would commit suicide, as he had threatened
to do so several times.
Nothing was heard OF the mar until
Wednesday when a note was found on a
car In the northwestern yards at Council
Bluffs, written by young Honeywell AM
saying tha he would drown himself on
July q in the Missouri river. In the note
he asked that his father be old OF his
death.

but through misfortune had met with
financial losses so that they were then in
poverty all of which was false and fraud
ulent, as the plaintiff well knew, and was
intended to work upon the sympathy of
the defendant.
And the plaintiff further fraudulently
represented that he was possessed Of rare
talent or ability, that various musical au-
thorities had declared his musical talent
to be pronounced and remarkable, that
his voice II cultivated would make his
fortune and put him in a position to be
one OF the greatest singers Of the world
and to sing in grand opera, and that he
needed only to have opportunity to study
music under competent instructors to be
found in the old world to place him in a
position to which he belonged-all Of which
was false.
THE defendant was uneducated in mu-
sic, and was therefore not able to tell for
herself as to the truth of this. He agreed
to repay the money loaned to him. with
interest, at an early date.
H represented he had lived a pure and
upright life, and that he was qualified
to be admitted to enter her friendship.
II secured her friendship on these rep
reservations and borrowed So, 300, In pay
ments as follows: June, 1904, 81, 800; Janu-
airy. 1905, $500; September, 1906. 1900; and
July, 1907, $500, which he still owes to the
defendant.
And thereafter, IN further pursuance of
his scheme, plaintiff falsely made profess
tations Of loye for the defendant and graft
tude for sums loaned, declaring his de-
sire and willingness to repay the same, and
asserting that, while the money obligation
would shortly be repaid with interest, the
debt of gratitude could never b. erfaced
from his memory
Miss Moore's answer adds that shes was
induced to visit him In Milan, Italy, and
while there the plaintiff persuaded her
to execute the agreement while under the
domination of his will. She denies that
any marriage was over agreed upon be-
tween the parties or that either of the
parties over promised or agreed to marry
the other. She says that tho written agree
ment was unsupported by any considera-
ton whatever from him to her. and alleges
that the agreement is void and unenforce-
able because depending 'pon an Illegal

PLUCKED BY FAKE N0BLEMAN
M~ercenary Side Of the Romance of
An UnsophisttcRted Boston
WOmau,

Miss Charlotte Lillian Moore Of Boston,
formerly of Somerville, who is being suee
by Carl de Mel OF Hamburg, N. Y, under
an alleged contract to pay him 5000 a
year during life, or until he should marry
some one other than Miss Moore, has
filed her answer in the supreme court Of
Boston.
De Mel asserts that the contract was
made in August, 1907, when, as he al
legee, she wanted to marry him and have
him continue his musical education tn
Europe. The payments were to be made
quarterly, and he declares she made two
payments, or 1.50o, and although he still
was ready to marry her, she refused TO
continue the payments. He seeks an ac-
counting, and asks to have her interest
In some trust funds reached to pay h
he may be found entitled to recover.
In her answer Miss Moore admits exc
cutting the agreement. but says her sig.
nature was got through fraud and undue
influence. She also alleges misrepresenta
tions made as to his position in life, his
ability, talents, former career and attitude
toward her, and also as to his relatives
She declares she stopped payments as soon
as she discovered tho alleged m~isrepre'
sensations. The agreement, she claims
was without consideration, and imposes ar
illegal condition In restraint Of marriage
and therefore is void.
Miss Moore's answer sets forth hat Tho
plaintiff having learned that she was II

estate OF relatives, and designing to chea'
and defraud her, concocted a scheme tC

DISTRICT SCHOOLS
DEFENDED BY DODGE
Senator Nelson Files Paper
Prepared by Former
Trustee.

Senator Nelson Of Minnesota filed in
the Senate today. to be inserted in the
Record. an article By w. c. Dodge, a
former trustee Of the local schools. on
Tho Schools and School Buildings Of
the National CapitaI-What They Are
and How Obtained"
The article was a defense of the
schools and school buildings of the Dis
tricJ. II especially sought to refute
statements i'm criticism made by Cora
Reese, IN the April number Of a maya
zine.
Mr. Dodge defended the school
buildings and said they were not
as bad as painted He attacked
those young people who went about
CriticisinE the schools and school
buildings without being aware of the
facts.
Mr.. Dodge says that magazines and
newspa peTS have been publishing
articles for long time complaining of
the school buildings and the school
system. He called particular attention
to a statement of Miss Reese that says
most of the school buildings in Wash
ington have dark and unhealthy area
ways. He asserts this is not true as
all of the buildings have entrances on
level with the street
Mr.. Dodge gives a lengthy history of
the building up OF the school system
He points out it was done by Congress,
that the people have no say, that the
Board OF Education has always been
handicapped, that the board receives no
salary, and that Congress never appro-
Driated enough money for adenua re
buildings. He then gives all OF the APP
preparations in recent years and points
out that last year Congress provided
for a municipal architect to pass on the
school buildings.
