MILLIONAIRE
TO RETURN TO FACE JURY

ST. LOUIS, July According to an
unconfirmed report published in the Re-
public this morning, Ellis Wainwright,
millionaire brewer and fugitive from JUS
tice since 1902, is to return from Paris.
France, and mace a charge of bribery
The report has II that former Governor
Joseph w. Folk, who, as circuit attorney
obtained Wainwright's indictment. will
BE- hired by the state as a special pros
ecutor in the case.
The trial, If it takes place, will revive
the famous Doodle crusade which brought
Folk into prominence. Wainwright is ac-
cused of having signed two joint notes
with Henry Nicolaus and Charles H.
Turner for 5000 and $4,000 each, the
proceeds of which are alleged to have
been used to bride members Of the city
legislature TO pass a franchise bill for
the ST. Louis and Suburban Railway
company. Nicolaus successfully fought
an Indictment on this charge and Tur-
ner has since died.
Wainwright was in Cairo, Egypt, when
bench warrant was issued for him on
January g. 1902. 1t was stated then by
his friends that he would hasten here
to refute the charges. He journeyed as
far as Paris, and has been there ever
since, bribery being one of the crimes
for which the extradition treaty with
France does not provide.
As a result of the disclosures in the
Suburban and other franchise deals q
members of the city legislature were in
dicted In 1902 Several turned state s
evidence, but eight were sent to the PEN
ttentiary, Of whom one, Louis Decker,
is still in prison.

MOTHER FAINTS WHILE
SEEKING SONS RELEASE

LOUISVILLE, KY, July Ion account

ming, whose home is at 413 Harding ave-
nue. Chicago to secure the release OF
her son, Sanford Manning, from the In
diana reformatory at Jeffersonville, she
Is now I'm a critical condition from heat
prostration at Greensburg, Ind, where
she went on the advice of Governor
Thomas H. Marshall. to whom she APP
ptraled for aid in getting her boy pa
role. She had gone to the county jail to
enlist the sympathies OF some of the
county officials and it was while talking
tc them on Tuesday that she fell in a
faint. She has been given every possible
attention, but her condition is regarded
as alarming.
Manning. who is a boy not yet Is years
of age was received at the Indiana re-
formatory q few weeks ago from Green's
burg, under a conviction of the charge
of burglary and to serve from ten to
twenty years. He gave his name as
James L. Wilson, and when he came in
was suffering from a pistol wound in
one of his lungs. and 1t was not believed
he could recover. He is still an invalid
from the wound. He refused to tell where
his home was or the name of his parents,
although he was implored to do so.
His mother in some manner learned
where her unfortunate boy was, and went
from Chicago to Indianapolis to see Gov
eTnor Marshall. She pleaded with him
for the release of her son, and he told
her If she would secure the signatures
of the court officials at Greensburg to a
petition he would consider the releg9e of
the boy. Mrs. Manning hurried to Green's
burg and there collapsed.

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-In the swell
ttring heat OF the cabinet room, filled
with expert whisky men and lawyers
President Taft labcred again today with
the question which the Roosevelt admin
istration found so vexing-"what is
whisky
The entire time OF the president pre-
vious to the regular cabinet meeting was
consumed in listening TO argument or
the exceptions made TO the opinion OF
Solicitor-General Bowers, covering the
various phases OF the controversy.
The straight whisky representatives
had their inning at the hearing today.
They were John G. Carlisle. former Sec
rotary and treasurer, and Edmund w
Taylor, OF Frankfort.
While they agreed with Mr.. Bowers
that neutral spirits is not whisky. they
directed their principal arguments
against his conclusion that neutral spir-
its mixed with whisky may still be sold
under the pure food law to the public as
whisky.
They maintained that such is imitation
whisky and that. IL the decision Of the
solicitor on this point be upheld by the
president Il would be sold on the market
under a Misrepresentation. notwithstand-
ing the intention OF congress TO legislate
against all whisky that is not genuine
Mr. Carlisle devoted most of his atten-
ton to reviewing the legal decisions In
support OF his position One Of those
upon which stress was laid was the opin-
ion of Attorney General Taft. father OF
the president. to the effect that alcohol
