A C0RR0B0RATION
OF Interest to Richmond Readers.

For months, Richmond citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise Of Doan's Kidney Pills by Rich
mond residents. Would these promi-
nent people recommend remedy that
had not proven reliable? Would they
confirm their statements after years
had elapsed II personal experience had
not shown the remedy to be worthy Of
endorsement? No stronger proof Of
merit can be had than cures that have
stood the test of time. The following
statement should carry conviction to
the mind of every Richmond reader
Miss Sarah Hamilton, II N. Ninth
street, Richmond, Ind, says: About
eight years ago began to suffer from
acute pains in the small OF my back,
sometimes extending into my should
ers. I had an idea that the trouble
was sciatic rheumatism, but finally aft
er suffering for about two years,
found that my kidneys swere disord-
cred. I at once procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at A. G. Luken & Cos drug
store and soon after began their use,

dition. / continued taking the RENE
dy until was free from all my aches
and pains and in. much better health"
statement given July IA, 1867
On December IL, 1908, Miss Hamil-
ton said: Il still believe that there Is
nothing as effective as Doan's Kidney
Pills in relieving kidney trouble. I
am just as willing to endorse this
preparation now as I was two years
ago"

former wife of Charles L. Romadka,

MILLION BOGUS MONEY SEIZED
BROTHERS HELD FOR A GIGANTIC
coUNTERFEITING PLOT.
Mexican Pesos Are Reproduced-Ken-
lucky Authorities and Secret
Service Secure Confession.

Louisville, Ky. Secret service
men are investigating report
that two women aided John C. and
Marion Roberts, brothers and sons
of former Louisville Judge, who
are held in Jail as perpetrators of
what is called the most daring coun-
terfeiting plot ever attempted. Dreams
of wealth centered in a brass-bound
trunk containing $1000,O0O in counter
felt Mexican pesos were shattered for
the brothers when Deputy United
States Marshal William Blaydes ar
rested John Roberts in Shelby county
with the money in his possession.
Since the hour of the first arrest
there has been unraveled in the Gus
tom house of Louisville and in Gen.
trail police station a remarkable tale
of attempted financial buccaneerings
that rivals some of the boldest ex-
ploits in the making of spurious cur
rency.
John Roberts, sitting in the office
of the secret service bureau, coolly
said that he would plead guilty at the
October term of the federal court and
seemed resigned about spending a ma.
jority of his years in the prison at
| Atlanta, Ga. He had only wanted to
get rich, he said.
1t was through Marion Roberts that
the counterfeiters were apprehended
| and their plan to defraud Mexicans OF
$1,000,000 exposed. Marion Roberts
some days ago offered a Louisville
broker high commission to dispose OF
some Mexican money for him. The
broker notified Chief of Police J. H
Hanger, who at once enlisted secret
service men and the trap to catch
Marion Roberts was successfully
sprung. Since Marion Roberts arrest
the police learned from him the infor.
nation which led to the descent upon
his brother at Simpsonville.
When Blaydes confronted John Rob
erts in the hamlet of Shelby county
| the chief counterfeiter admitted that
the imitation 100-pesos notes through
the broker. He showed Blaydes the
| trunk, which with Roberts was brought
to Louisville. Roberts said that had 9
| perforating machine and a device to
number the bills reached him when
he had expected them he would have
| been In Mexico a week ago.
VIII Koenig, a printer, has also
been arrested in connection with the
case. Roberts is in jail under SIS,
| 900 federal bond.

SUTTON SLEW SELF
"ElTHER COMMITTED SUICIDE OR
ACCIDENTALLY TOOK OWN
LIFE" Is VERDICT.
HIS RIVALS ARE ExONERATED
Inquiry Court Decides That Lieutenant
Was to Blame for Own Death
Mother Will Ask Congress to
Start New Probe.

Washington.-That Lieut.. James
Sutton of the United States marine
corps killed himself accidentally or
with suicidal intent is the finding OF
the court of inquiry which has been
approved by Acting Secretary Win
throp of the navy and so far as the
department is concerned the case is
closed.
Counsel for the Suttons intimated,
however, after the courts decision
had become definitely known, that
they were far from satisfied with the
verdict, and that they probably would
take the issues involved to congress
with a view of having full hearing
of the case by a committee of that
body.
In part the court says:
Lieut.. Sutton is directly and solely
responsible for his own death, which
was self-inflicted, either Intentionally
or in an effort to shoot one of the
persons restraining him, and his death
was not caused by any other injury
whatever"
The court also finds: That Lieut..
Utley failed in his duty as senior Of
ficer present, under article 266, United
States navy regulations, 1909, in per-
hitting Lieut.. Sutton to run away and
arm himself instead of calling on
those present for assistance and fol
lowing Lieut. Sutton, preventing his
arming himself, by force if necessary
and turning him over to the custody
of the officer of the day.
That Lieut.. Bevan, officer of the
guard, failed in his duty as officer OF
the guard in not disarming Lieut..
Sutton by force, while in front of his
(Sutton's) tent
That Lieut.. Willing, the officer OF
the day, failed in his duty as officer
of the day in not Immediately assist
ing by force in helping to disarm
Lieut.. Sutton when he arrived on the
scene before the fatal shot was
fired.
That the charges of wilful murder
and conspiracy to conceal it, made by
the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother
of Lieut. Sutton, are purely imaginary
and unsupported by even shadow OF
evidence, truth or reason.
The court recommends, however
that in view of the youth and decided
inexperience of Lieuts. Utley, Willing
and Bevan at the time, and of the al
together unusual conditions of excite
ment, threats and danger during the
aforementioned fray, that no further
proceedings be taken.
The report is signed by J. Hood

dent of the board, and Henry Leonard

BILLION FOR ROCKEFELLER
Amount Represents His Fortune at
End of Ten Years-Powerless
to Prevent Ii.

New York.-Think how you would
feel If you knew you would be the
worlds first Millionaire at the end of
the next ten years; that you are pow
erless to prevent the growth of your
own wealth even though you have
given away s13O,OOO,OOO. This is the
fate that awaits John D. Rockefeller
at the end of the next ten years.
Standard Oil stock sold at 712
Wednesday, the highest price it has
reached since the panic of 1907. The
stock has risen 1922 points from the
low ebb of 800, at which it sold on
November 4, 1907. Like a SNOWFALL
rolling down hill, Rockefeller's wealth
is steadily growing and growing and
he is as powerless to stop it even if
he had the wishes as he would be to
check the revolution of the planets.
The enormous, inconceivable accu-
mutation of wealth of the mild-man-
nered, inscrutable sphinx of millions
has gone steadily on despite the fact
that short time ago an estimate of
his public charities placed them at
the stupendous total of $130,000,000
The latest approximately accurate
estimates available place his fortune
in 1905 at least $550,000,00O In
1900 it was $4OO,00O,OOO. This is an
increase for the five years Of $3.50, 000,-
900. At this ratio the Rockefeller for
tune is to-day about $700,000,000. In
1914 still at the same ratio Of in
crease, it will be about $3.50, 900,
and in 1919, when the oil king reaches
his eightieth year, it will have reached
the stupendous, brain-giddying total
of $1,000,Q00,000 an inconceivable
sum.

40 FLEA PEORIA BOAT. FIRE
PASSENGERS AND CREW ESCAPE
FROM BLAZING STEAMER.
Women and Children in Panic-Ves-
sci Totally Destroyed-Two
Are Injured.

Peoria. Ill.-Although not fully re-
covered from their fright all OF the
25 passengers, who with the crew OF
Is. had a close call for their hves
when the steamer Fred Swain burned
to the waters edge Friday afternoon
off Averyville, have left Tor tnelr
homes. OF the two persons injured
only one was in serious condltlon
and it is regarded as marvellous that
none met death.
The injured are: Joseph Casrider,
Paducah, KY, engineer, seriously
burned about the face and body, and
Charles Reicheberger, Peoria, rlgn'
arm broken. The loss is estimated at
$35, 900, $4,000 of which is on the yes
sci. Several of the passengers lost
all their personal belongings.
The escapes from the burning yes,
sci were almost miraculous. The ma
jority of the passengers were women
and children and once the fire was
discovered issuing from state
room on the second deck panic
reigned. To add to the horror, the
ropes supporting the immense gang
plank which had been lowered to en-
able those aboard to board the score
of row boats that had hurriedly been
put out from shore, burned, letting
about fifteen persons, including sever
al women and children, into the wa
ter. Tom Powers, saloonkeeper OF
this city, and E. A. Caron OF
Worcester, Mass, both of whom were
on the plank in an effort to quiet the
panic-stricken people, each saved the
lives of two children, half carrying
and half swimming with the little
tots on their back and shoulders to
old tree stumps, to await the arrival
of rescuers.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Eugene Kurdish, cabin girl, on open
ing the door of a stateroom. She at
once spread the alarm but all efforts
to subdue the flames proved fruitless
the fire spreading with alarming ra
pidity. Capt. Swain, on realizing that
all hopes for the vessel were gone
ordered Pilot Martin Huston tc
beach the boat and instructed his
crew to deal out life preserVers.
