SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER IA mysterious at
tt mpt is made at midnight to MUIR
der Mile. Stangerson, daughter and
assistant of Prof. Stangerson, who is
at work on his theory of the dissocis
alton of matter in a pavilion near his
chateau. Pistol shots and the young
woman cries for help are heard
behind the locked and bolted door of
her chamber, the yellow room. The
cries are answered by Professor Stan
,.ol and Daddy Jacques, an aged
servant. Aided by the concierges,
Bernier and his wife, they break open
the door and find Mile. Stangerson
looming and half strangled, with a
wound in her temple, but find no
trace of her assailant. The only
possible outlet from the yellow room
is the door. The weird cry of the
"tste du bon Dieu," cat belonging
tn Mother Angenoux, a recluse, is
heard just before Mile. Stangerson's
ries. II-Joseph Rouletabille, re-
porter-detective, is introduced to the
reader by M. Sainclair, the narrator
Of the story. Rouletabille declares
the revolver was fired by Mile. Stan
gerson, wounding her assailant in
the hand Sainclair is to use his
friendship with M. Darzac, Mile. Stan
gersons lover, to introduce Rouleta-
lille into the chateau. III-Rouleta-
billie induces M. de Marquet, the ex-
amining magistrate, and M. de Ma
leine, his registrar, to talk about the
case. The only possible point OF
egress from the pavilion for the
murderer has been the window Of the
pavilion's vestibule, near which blood
stains have been found. The win,
dow, however, was found latched af,
ter the assassin's escape. A bullet
hole is found in the ceiling Of the
yellow room. w. Shortly before
the attack the announcement of the
engagement of Mile. Stangerson and
M. Darzac had been made. V-Rou,
letabille and Sinclair are informed
by Frederic Larsan, famous detec'
tive working on the case, that the
concierges have been arrested. Meet
ing M. Darzac, Rouletabille utters a
mystic sentence, "The presbytery
has lost nothing Of its charm nor the
garden its brightness" which seems
to terrify Darzac. VI-The arrest OF
the concierges is due to the fact
that they were seemingly near the
the pavilion when the crime was com
mitted. Their denial of guilt is doubt
ed. Rouletabille and Darzac become
friendly. A mutton bone such as is
used by French assassins, has been
found in Mile. Stangerson's room

HUNGATE GOES TO OHIO.
VIII Take Dispositions in Lucas DAM
age Case.

Attorney o. E. Hungate left for
Kenton, Ohio. this afternoon, to take
dispositions in the case of Sutermeister
against Lucas.
This is the case wherein A. w.
Sutermeister sued A. T. Lucas, former
ly sheriff of Shawnee county. to re-
cover a sum of money. The facts in
the case were these: Sutermeister, an
agent for the Provident Savings COM
pany of New York, was charged by the
company with the embezzlement of
$465. A warrant for his arrest was
issued in Shawnee county, and Lucas,
the sheriff, located Sutermeister in
Ohio and caused his arrest.
Then securing a requisition from
Governor Hoch, he went to Kenton
and asked Sutermeister, who was in
Jail, if he would waive requisition.
Sutermeister refused. and Lucas went
to Columbus and secured an Ohio
reuuisition. Upon returning to Ken
ton, he was met by Sutermeister's
wife and father, who wanted to settle
the case. Lucas wired Hungate, then
county attorney, for instructions Hun
gate was absent and his deputy, Cap
tain ]. r. McNary, after taking the
matter up with the prosecuting COM
pany, wired Lucas to settle and re-
lease Sutermeister. collecting the sum
embezzled. together with costs in the
case and mileage. This was done, and
the case was closed. Lucas acting en-
tirely under instruction from the
county attorneys office. Within two
days of two years later. just before the
statute of limitation had run, Suffer-
meister brought suit against Lucas to
recover the money he had paid in set
Element, charging that the settlement
was involuntary and that Lucas had
quilted him in the Kenton Jail
Hungate is defending Lucas in the
suit. and will take dispositions tending
to disprove Suterm testers claim. At
torney John Newell. for the plaintiff,
will go with Hungate and attend the
taking of dispositions.

CHARLES III. MELLEN.

Among the giants of the railroad
world must be included Charles H.
Mellen, president of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford, which is
known in the east as the CONSOLIDATE
ed system.
A graduate of the western school
of railroading, he has brought to the
management of the consolidated sys-
tenn the far-sighted ability and ex-
perience of years of training as pres
ident of the Northern Pacific railway.
He was the first man in the country
to see the strategic value of trolley
lines as feeders to all great railroad
systems and Immediately upon assum-
ing his duties here started about the
extension of various trolley lines in
New England which would supply to
his road the large amount of paSSen-
ger traffic that 1t required to make
it big paying railroad proposition.
Today the New Haven system, through
it's subsidiaries. controls several thou
sand miles of trolley trackage in west
ern Massachusetts, throughout Con-
necticut and Rhode Island.
He also foresaw the value of short
steamship lines as feeders for his pas
senger and freight traffic and the
road today controls practically all the
steamer traffic between ports of Long
Island sound and New York city. Sew
eral times he has stolen march on
other railroads which attempted in
land In fact, if it had not been for
Mr. Mellen New England would have
been bottled UP and at the mercy of
the big trunk lines and coal roads. He
however. went into the stock market,
and seized the New York, Ontario &
Western, giving New England a road
for cheap coal rate and a coal supply
which, in a general measure, makes it
independent of the coal trust. The
control of the New York, Ontario &
Western is now vested in the New Ha-
ven system and under Mr. Mellen's
direction it improved greatly in earn
ing power.
Another striking move of his was
bridge line which was a link in the
| transcontinental route to Boston
across New York state. Another road
was after this but Mr.. Mellen got
| control of it, In keeping with his pol
| icy of expansion and improvement he
has now double-tracked a line to the
Poughkeepsie bridge and all along
! this division.
He is also making big plans for the
| identification of his road into New
| York city with a separate terminal
| which will give it facilities equal to
any of the great roads entering New
the franchise of road which had
never been built, but which gave him
right of way through the heart OF
| the most valuable territory and ter
| minal rights in New York which could
not be purchased under other circum-
| stances for millions upon millions OF
| dollars.
| Perhaps the one move that has
| brought upon his head the greatest

Mayor Harper of Los Angeles Is First
One in Worlds History.

Los Angeles Cal, April 24.-Mayor
Stephens has succeeded Arthur c.
Harper, who resigned under fire af-
ter the recall had been enforced in
his case.
The coming grand jury investigation
is a subject of live interest and much
speculation. 1t is expected that ex-
Mayor A. c. Harper will be among
the first witnesses to appear before
the inquisitorial body, together with
e. T. Earl, proprietor of the Evening
Express, whose alleged possession of
evidence against Harper forced the
latter to resign from office.
The. resignation of Arthur c. Harper
under the direct fire of the threaten
ed recall, presents the first case in
the worlds history of a mayor or 9TH
er city official being deposed after
having been elected because the peo-
pie did not like his methods.
This affords an example of what
could have been accomplished in San
Francisco had the recall been in eff
feet during their recent civic upheaval
when the city was forced to put up
with depredations for two years be-
fore satisfaction could be attained and

FIVE YEAR OLD BOY KILLED
Ora Wardlow Dies Under Wheels of
Sand Wagon.

Ora Wardlow, the 5-year-old son of
c. H. Wardlow of 1715 Lincoln street,
was run over and instantly killed by
g loaded sand wagon Friday after
noon. The wheel of the wagon passed
the entire length of the little boys
head and body, and he died without
making an outcry.
C. +. Sash. of North Topeka, who
hauls sand as an occupation, was drlv-
ing onto the lots at ITO Lincoln
street with load of sand to be used
in the construction of a new house
The little boy ran up to the wagon,
and may have attempted to climb on.
He was not seen by the driver until
L. L. Chandler. OF 1918 West Seven
teenth street. who was passing at the
time. shouted to him TO stop his team
Chandler did not see the boy fall un-
der the wagon, and the wheel had
passed over the body before he noted
the accident.
Coroner H H. Keith arrived in a
few minutes. and made an examina-
ton. From the witnesses he decided
that the death was accidental, and no
inquest Will be held.
Sash. the sand hauler. says that he
did not even notice the child in the
vicinity, as he was attending to the
driving and did not look around.

still conducting the city affairs. This
case. it is thought, will bring more
forcibly before the people of the Unit
ed States the necessity for recall to
safeguard against the wrong party be-

amount of opposition, criticism and
abuse was his purchase of a majority
of the stock of the Boston & Maine
system, the other great railroad sys-
tenn of New England covering the
northern hall. while the New Haven
covers the southern part. The matter
was brought out in the courts, in the
legislature and the newspapers and is
not yet settled; but with characteristic
energy and strategy Mr.. Mellen, while
determined to hold onto the advan-
tage he had gained, arranged to have
the Boston & Maine stock sold to
syndicate headed by Connecticut
banker. The syndicate included peo-
pie friendly to the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford. In this way he was
able to retain control of the Boston &
Maine while leaving it's management
as before and releasing his road of
any legal possibilities.
His hand is seen in the recent re-
duction by the Boston & Maine OF It's
rate on import business which brought
about a mild war from the other
roads and slashes in their rates TO
meet the Boston & Maine rates This
reduction resulted in a tremendous
increase in the Boston & Maine bus
mess and has a far-reaching 1mpor-
lance to the port of Boston, as, un-
der the old system Boston was losing
a vast amount of import freight traf-
fic to more favorably located ports
like Baltimore, New orleans and Gal
weston.
1t is safe to predict that within the
next ten years. if Mr.. Mellen lives to
carry out his plans, that Boston Will
bless the day that he became presi-
dent of the New Haven system. New
England manufacturers already have
! a glimmering of what his plans for
| this section are and they are for the
most part in hearty accord with his
| policy Unlike Hartman, he is not
! reaching out for an empire in rail-
| roads, but what he does want is to
make his road one of the strongest
and best-paying railroad propositions
1 in the country, and to build up New
! England as the greatest commercial
| section and manufacturing section OF
| the country, for in this lies the pros
perity of his road.
He was born in Lowell in 1851, be-
| gan his railroad career in 1859 as
| cashiers clerk in the office of the
| Northern New Hampshire railroad
He graduated to the Central Vernon
| in 1872 as clerk to the chief engineer
| Then he went back to the Northern
| New Hampshire as superintendent
clerk and assistant treasurer in 1873
In 1880 he became assistant to the
| manager of the Boston & Lowell road
| and then auditor; then general super
intendent of the Boston & Lowell &
i Concord roads. He became genera
| purchasing agent later assistant gen
eral manager and finally traffic man
| ager of the Union Pacific, from 1885
| to 1892 He became assistant and
| then first general manager of the
| New England & New York in 1892 and
was made second vice-president of the
