CHASE AFTER HATS
COSTS TWO LIVES

CHICAGO, April 10.-One man lies dead
at a hospital and the police today are
dragging the lake for the body of another,
both having given up their lives for their
hats, blown off in the high wind prevail
ing here.
Daniel O'Shea was walking along the
lake shore with two companions, when a
sudden gust blew his hat in the water.
While his friends were still expostulating
with him, he stripped off his outer gar
ments and waded in. Suddenly he doubled
up and sank from sight 1t is assumed
that the sudden chill gave him a cramp.
His friends were unable to go to his as
sistance, and after a brief struggle he
sank from view.
Samuel Wunch was riding on the plat
form of an electric car when the wind
blew his hat into the street. The car was
moving rapidly, but Wunch, without
stopping to consider the possible conse-
quences, leaped after it and was fatally
injured.

cidal intent, and the two physicians who
attended him state emphatically that
there were no burns or even powder
stains.
Drs. Kennon and Council, who held the
first autopsy, state positively that all
the bones were broken by force from
within. as they readily lifted of. where
as II they had been broken by an eX-
ternal blow and driven in, they could
not have been lifted of.
Two things seem established beyond
question One is that Mr.. Hill was
not killed by squatters. The other, that
no one is justified even by theory to
refer to this tragedy as a Reel Foot
Lake affair without the accompanying
mob
The foreman and several OF the coro-
ner's Jury, are now convinced that Mr..
Hill was not murdered. and now that
the murder theory has very little foun-
dation. regret that they did not with
hold their verdict for further develop
ments. The officers are on the alert and
are working diligently. but with little
hope While it is to be regretted that
the stigma of suicide must rest upon
Mr.. Hills memory. II is but just that
this section of the state should be clear
ed of the charge Of so foul a crime.

WIFE SAYS HUSBAND
WAS DEATH CONSPIRATOR

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April s.-That her
husband. Frank Rice; his sister, Mrs. Al
bert Taylor, and DIR. L. M. Stroud. or
Terrell, Tex, brought about the death OF
Albert Taylor. at Terrell, on January 8,
1906. is charged by Mrs. Ida Rice In an
affidavit filed in connection with her suit
for divorce here. Mrs. Rice alleges that
an insurance company paid 5000 on the
death of Taylor and that this money was
divided between the physician, her nus
band and Mrs. Taylor.
The mother of Taylor had his body
exhumed a year and a half after his
death and she went to the grand jury at
Terrell with her suspicion that her son
had been poisoned, but there was not suf-
fcient evidence for an indictment. Tay-
lor's death, Mrs. Rice alleges, was due TO
poison injected hypodermically during
several weeks. After the Rices, Mrs.
Taylor and Taylor's mother moved back
to Indiana their original home, Mrs. Rice
charges, her husband forced her to write
10 Dr. Stroud threatening him with ex-
posture unless he sent her $780,

STANDARD OIL co.
RAPED BY KELLOGG

ST. LOUIS. April 10.-After a continu-
Gus argument of five days, Special Unit
ed States Attorney General Frank B. Kel-
logg this morning commenced his clos
ing address to the court in behalf of the
government in the suit to have the Stan
dard Oil company of New Jersey dis
solved as a viOlator of the Sherman anti
trust act
Mr.. kellogg commenced his argument
by discussing the contentious of Attor-
ney David T. Watson, of Pittsburg, with
respect to the Northern Securities devils
ion. Mr. Watson had insisted that the
conditions were not analogous, ana
therefore not applicable as controlling
authority.
Mr.. kellogg argued that the twenty
companies signing the original standard
trust agreement were just as eompeti-
tive as the railways subscribing to the
agreement in the Northern Securities
case.
The government attorney reviewed the
facts as well as the law and claimed
that the two cases were identical and
that by no stretch of the imagination or
sophistry could Mr.. Watson's argument
be legally or technically logical.
Mr.. Kellogg argued that the task OF
the prosecutor is seldom easy.
1T was no summer vacation stunt 70

The government" he said. did not
base it's case upon the tittle-tattle OF
meddlers, but upon facts. Much has been
said about magazine writer's and political
demagogues, but the government knew
when it gathered this evidence that II
would be reviewed by this honorable
court

Mr.. Kellogg claimed that when John ID
AcT1bold testified that he understood thai
the transaction was a mere matter OF
bookkeeping that the answer was an eva
sin.
'Mr. Rockefeller frank? Mr.. Archbol6

the lawyer.

RAILROAD ISSUES
THEIR UNTINATUM

ST. LOUIS, April 1O.-That the railroads
of Missouri have made all possible con-
cessions to the state authorities in the
matter of passenger rates and VIII re-
sist the injunction suit filed Thursday IN
St Louis was the gist of an announce
ment made today at the close of the hrst
session OF a gathering Of executive ofn-
cials of the eighteen systems interested.
There will be no compromise ofrer oil

PENDANT in the suit for injunction was
represented at today's meeting" said ID.
IL. WineheIl, president of the Rock Is
land. I'VE went over the ground thor
oughly and decided there was nothing else
left for us but to go into court and pre-
sent our reasons for trying to put the
new rate into optTation.
1--WE did not consider counter propo"
sition to the governor. How could we do
so legally? He has had us en1oined from
agreeing on one schedule of rates with
three cents as maximum. We were told
1t was illegal and in violation OF our
charters. We might be guilty of discrim-
ination again as previously charged. SO
we decided to call in the lawyers and tell
them to see what they can do"
Frank Hagerman, of Kansas City, spe-
cial counsel for the eighteen railroads In

lated a reply to the chiefs in the petition
filed for the governor by Circuit AttoF-

NO NEGRO ENUNIERATORS
IN SOUTHERN STATES
BY Ralph Smith

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1O.-The
merit system in so far as civil service
examinations represent the survival of
the fittest'' will prevail in the taking of
the 1910 census. This was finally decided
this afternoon, when the senate passed
the census bill, which provides that all
appointments save supervisors shall be
made from the classified service.
There is in the bill, however, provis-
ion which requires all enumerators to be
actual citizens of the states in which
they are to work 1t is claimed that this
provision eliminated whatever danger
there may have been of having negro
enumerators in any of the southern
states. The supervisors will be appoint
ed by the president and will not be re-
quired to stand examinations.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, led the fight
in the senate against the civil service
provision. He made a powerful and con-
vincing argument against the principle
and theory of civil service, and also paid
his respects to ex-President Roosevelt in
no uncertain terms, but the logic of his
argument was insufficient to change the
attitude of the senate, and he was de-
feated.
The Incorporation in the bill of the civil
service regulation means that the rep
resentative who hoped to patch up their
political fences by the distribution Of
patronage incident TO the taking of the
census will have to look elsewhere for
their material

Coughlin ran a saloon here, he tipped
the scale at 25O pounds or more, Flfteen
days ago he weighed 30 pounds
"Coughlin was not in want. he had
trained nurse and the best the little
town could give in medical aid, The doc
tors had warned him that death was
certain and Imminent, Big Dan seemed
resigned to his fate and only expressed
sorrow at the prospect Of dying away
from Chicago. He was mum on all his
troubles, legal and otherwise"
In May. 1889 Coughlin, then a detect
i've, came into national qotoriety in con-
nection with the CrOnin murder case. He
was indicted as a conspirator and was
convicted, his sentence being life inn
prisonment After serving three years in
the Joliet prison he was given a new trial
and acquitted.
Soon afteTward he started saloon and
ran it for several years. While in this
business he was indicted for attempted
Jury bribing in connection with per-
sonal injury suit against a railroad. He
was held to the grand jury in the sum
of $4,000. 4le fed and nothing more
was heard of him until about three years
ago when he was arrested at Mobile,

Mobile with requisition papers, but before
his arrival there Coughlin had been dis
charged on a writ of habeas corpus. II
was learned that he took tramp steam
