.OECE|VES SCORE OF WOMEN
BUT IS FINALLY CAUGHT
Unique Matrimonial Career OF Man
Under Arrest in San Francisco,
It Being Charged He Has Mar.
ried Twenty-four Women.

San Francisco.--Christian G. John.
son, the man arrested here on
charges of having defrauded Mrs. II.
Leopold out of 5000 following his mar
rage to her, and who, the police de-
clare, is John Madison, the husband
of score or more of wives scattered
throughout this country and Canada,
stoutly maintains his denial that he
Is Madison.
He admitted his marriage to Mrs.
S. p. De Bonnet, of this city, how
ever, and the police declare that they
are certain that he will finally admit
that he is Madison.
John Madison is wanted for bigamy
in nearly every large city in the Unit
ed States and many of the smaller
ones. The authorities here have al
ready established his marriage to ten
women and his engagement and pos
sible marriage to fourteen others.
Each of the twenty-four women duped
by Madison is said by the police to
have lost more or less money through
his friendship.
The strange history OF Madison,
who is an aged man, extends over
only a few months. but in that time
he married or duped twenty-four wo-
men, whose names are known to the
police. Almost without exception,
his victims have been widows OF di.
vorced women of middle age.
Madison may be taken for trial to
Stockton, where one of his wives re-
sides, but in the meantime the police
here are trying to secure a complete.
confession from him.

Russians and 500 Cossack cavalry,

The unopposed advance of Siphidar,
the leader of the revolutionists, and
Sardarasad, the chief of the Balih-
tiari tribesmen, towards Teheran, is
taken here TO mean that General
Liakhoff, the governor of Teheran,
considers his force inadequate to en-,
gage in a general battle and that he
has decided to employ his Cossack
brigade merely as a guard over the
life of the shah.
Persons well informed here regard

The writer declared that he had
looked at the body and thought it
was that OF Mrs. Guinness. Although
the coroner does not think that there

A ruling has been made by the At
torney General that cards and dice
throwing for the drinks must be
prohibited by saloonists and any one
violating this clause of the Dean
character law will be closed up. The
reports say such retailers saloon
license will be forfeited. But there
is no such thing as a saloon license
in Ohio. What is meant, probably
is that the oncials will refuse to ac-
cept special taxes from such a saloon
ist and then ne will be closed up But
that is pretty drastic regulation for
the business. However, it is good
one and the same doctrine should be
applied to any other business where
1t has been allowed. In fact all forms
of public gambling are damaging to
good morals and should be placed
under the ban Of the law.

HAVE RIGHT
TO INSURE
Attorney General Just One
Step Away From Secur-
ing Bank Deposit
Plan.

Washington, May 11--Attornev
General Wickersham has decided
that a national bank has legal
right to insure its assets against
loss The opilion was rendered in
response to tquest from the secre-
tary of the treasury who sent to the
attorney general the form OF policy
to be issued "ty an Insurance com
pany proposed tc be organized"
The attorney general approved the
plan of insurance, but suggested some
changes in the form OF policy.
The Democratic platform year
ago recommended a tax on national
banks and on such state banks as
wished to como in, to raise Il guar
anty bund to insure the depositors
of the banks. Mr.. Taft opposed this
plan in his campaign speeches and
when Oklahoma as n state put the
plan into operation the attorney gen.
eral of the United States decided it
could not be applied to national
banks.
The difference pointed out Is that
the present form of insurance is vol
untary and not compulsory. but adj
vocates of the Democratic plank as
sert that insurance by one bank will
force all others in its territory to in
sure, making 1t in the end practical
ly compulsory.
