PROGRESS Is SHOWN
BY JOHN 6. CAPERS

John G. Capers. Commissioner of In

at the Episcopal Eye. Ear and Throat

created several days ago by a report
that Mr.. Capers was suffering from
blood poison. This is not the case, how
ever, and his attending physicians are
very much encouraged at the progress
he is making.
Mrs. John DalzelI. who has been criti-
cally III in her home here several weeks,

parently little change either for the bet

THINK SUNDERLAND
HAS BEEN ROBBED
Virginia Authorities Try to
Find How Much Money
He Had.

Actirg on the theory that Albert NJ
Sunderland. deputy treasurer of Prince
William county, Va, who mysteriously
disappeared from the Union Station In
Alexandria last Tuesday, may have met
with foul play in New York or Philadel-
phia. Capt J. Z. HerreH, treasurer of
the county. is having Sunderland's tax
books and accounts examined to dis
close just how much money he had on
his person
When Sunderland, accompanied by DR..
d. c. Cline, his bondsman. left his home
at Dunfries early on the morning he
was last seen. and came to Alexandria
on the Washington Southern Railway,
train for Manassas, where he was to
meet Captain HerreI, he is said TO have
had considerable money ne had recently
collected in the lower end of Prince
William county. 1t Is hoped by Captain
Herren and DR.. Cline that the police
may find this money when they find
Sunderland, dead or alive.
The amount of money that Sunder-
land had in his possession when be
disappeared is placed at $500 although
IL may be that the most careful eX-
animation Of his books may not dis
close the exact amount. A number of
property owners, II is said. some time
ago paid Sunderland portion of their
taxes on account, and he did not give
them receipts
Many of Sunderlands ole friends in
Dumfries scout the idea TIT he de,

daughter, and a six-year-old adopted

say that they are advised and believe
that a large number Of pass books OF

condition OF the business. But they
have been unable TO obtain the names
of any officers except NJ T. Davis, sec

They aver that the association is
hopelessly insolvent, and cannot resume

ONE OF DAVIS RECEIPTS.
MAKES NO CHARGE
AGAINST LAWYER

Editor of The Times:
Dear Sir-I have just read in the Sun
day afternoon issue of your paper the
article describing the arrest of John c.
Davis on a charge of obtaining money
from a Mrs. Mcs<eown under false pre-
lenses and also referring TO certain
claims against Davis in the hands Of
attorneys.
Among the attorneys believed TO have
such claims against Davis 1 notice my
own name. followed bycertain statements
purporting to be based on information
obtained from me. The only informa-
ton given by me was in response to
INQUIRIES over the telephone made by
one of your reporters this morning, and
he must have misunderstood my an
sweTs to his question, judging from the
report contained in the article re-
ferred to.
1 requested at the time that he pub
lish nothing in relation to the claim of
Mrs. Barber and declined to give her
initials, he having already learned in
some way unknown to me that she had
some business transactions witt MIR.
Davis about which she had recently con-
suited me.
Corrects Statement.
desire particularly TO correct tbs fo!-
lowing statement: He Cmeaning my
self said Davis owed Mrs. Barber $500,
but paid 500 a few days ago" I made
no such statement, and Mr.. Davis is
not indebted so far as I know to Mrs.
Barber I had been investigating the
matter of two membranes placed on
her property, at his request, for SI0l
and $500. respectively, for which she
had received no value and which Mr..
Davis had undertaken to have released.
The release of one of the encum-
brances, namely, the 500 one, had been
secured by him and was recorded yes
terday. and he had given as an ex-
PLANTATION for his failure TO deliver the
release of the 5000 encumbrance that
the note had been lost or misplaced,
and that il had not been negotiated,
and that the transaction had fallen
through.
Makes No Charge.
II his statement in this regard is cor
rect, of course my client win lose moth
ing. and 7 so stated TO your reporter
| There IS no charge on the part Of my
client or myself that Mr.. Davis owes
her money at the present time and the
| only question between them as TO the
| application of money received by him
was as TO SO, which matter he adjusted

correct the above mentioned statement

FIRE LOSS IS $4,000, 900.
Cigarette Thrown Carelessly Away by
Boy Responsible for Confagration
in Fort Worth, Tex.

FORT WORTH, Tex, April 5.-To a
party of small boys and a carelessly
thrown cigarette is generally credited the
fire of Saturday, which destroyed prop
erty in South Fort Worth valued at S.
100000, caused the death of one person,
J. J. Newton, a bank employe, the seri-
Gus injury of six others, rendered 800
families homeless, and will cause the
temporary idleness of several hundred
workmen employed in the manufacture
ing plants and business houses burned
The burned district is under the guard
of state troops to prevent looting.
Sunday morning mass meeting of
citizens was held and relief committees
named However, because of the fact
that the burned residence district was
populated largely by those in comfort
able circumstances, the monetary relief
needed will be small.
The fire originated in barn near the
corner of May and Tucker streets. Driv
en- by a gale the flames spread to ad
joining buildings
The burned area is approximately
mile and a half in length and a half
mile wide, and while it will require days
to compute accurately the individual
losses, a conservative estimate places the
aggregate at about $2,OOO,0OO The larg
est individual loss was suffered by the
Texas & Pacific railroad officials of the
road placing the damage at $16O,OOO.

,SNARL OVER TOBACCO.
Independents Have Not Taken 100000
Worth in Pool Which They
Agreed to Do.

CINCINNATI. O., April 6-Two
thousand hogsheads of tobacco, valued
at 100000, are causing trouble for the
Independent Tobacco Manufacturers as
ISOLATION which is holding a secret meet
ing here today. This amount of tobac
90 has not been taken out of the amount
subscribed for by the independent manu-
facturers last fall, it is claimed. 1t is
declared that many of the smaller in
dependents have not yet taken the to-
bacco allotted to them and that the
equity society will look to the larger
concerns that agreed to apportion the
tobacco. to see that all contracts are
fulfilled. Some of the large independ-
cnts have all the tobacco they can use,
however. The meeting here is expected
to iron out this tangle.

IN VIOLATION OF SHERMAN ACT

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April Especial AS.
sistant to the United States Attorney
General Frank B. Kellogg today filed his
brief of 400 printed pages with the
clerk of the United States circuit court
of this city, and a few moments later
commenced his argument, after tive
years of evidence taking, in the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
corporation Of New Jersey, for alleged
violations of the Sherman act.
Gives History of Combine.
Mr.. Kellogg commenced with a rather
full review of the evidence taken by the
government, before discussing the law
applicable to his case. He told of the
combination effected by John d. Rookie
Teller, William Rockefeller and Henry NJ
Flagler, in 1879, conceived, he declared,
to effect a monopoly of the petroleum
trade, both domestic and export. 1t was
at that moment, according to the federal
lawyer, that the alleged illegal consplr-
acy to monopolize. the Oil trade OF the
country was conceived. Later, said Mr.
Kellogg, Henry II. Rogers, John D.
Archbold, Oliver II. Payne and Charles
NJ Pratt were taken into the conspiracy
by the other defendants.
To tell more clearly the story OF Stand
ard Oil, the special attorney general Oh
vided the alleged conspiracy into three
periods: The first from 1870 to 1882,
when it was, he said, simple comblna-
alton acting in harmony with its stock
interests pooled in the hands OF three
trustees.
From 1882 to 1899, the defendants in
terests were in the form of a trust CON
trolled by nine trustees. This trust, de-
clared illegal by the Ohio courts, was
liquidated and from 1899 to the present
time, said Mr.. Kellogg, concluding that
portion of his narrative, has taken the
form of a holding corporation, the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey, CONTROL
ing subsidiary corporations in alleged re-
straint of trade and otherwise.
Interested in Railways.
Recognizing the Importance to the
Standard of railway transportation, its
officials and their associates during the
last ten years, it is said, have been di-
rectors in many of the leading railroad
systems of the United States. For in
stance, the Standard interests have in
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, four
directors; Union and Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe, two each; New York, New
Haven & Hartford, New York Central
and allied lines, Missouri Pacific, Boston
& Maine, Wisconsin Central, Rutland
railroad, and others, one each.

MADE PREPARATIONS FOR DEATH.

ALBANY, n. Y, April 6.-Disappoint-
ed in love, Ethel G. Shaw, an attractive
woman about % years old, was found
dead in her room in the Ten Eyck hotel
this morning. Death was due to an over
dose of morphine and strychnine hypo-
dermically. Miss Shaw was a nurse
from New York city. She has brother
living i'll Montreal.
Leaves Note to Fiance.
The woman left several letters, includ-
ing one addressed to DR.. G. Scott Towne,
health officer of Saratoga, in which she
said:
Ny Dear Boy: Unfortunately have got
very fond of you, SO the breaking of our en-
gagement means TO me complete Wreckage.
Don't get any other girl to love you.
Yours, ETHEL c. S.
The postscript read: mo mother has
people marry, they should be given
chance. Every woman knows this"
Prepared for Death.
Miss Shaw evidently had made all
preparations for her death. When found
she was lying on the bed with a silk
robe wrapped about her and her arms
folded across her breast. A hypodermic
syringe and a box containing morphine
walls, one of which was empty, were
found at her side. On the dresser were
half dozen letters. The woman came
to Albany yesterday. Among the letters
was one to Mrs. Mackenzie free deliv-
cry route No. 2, White Plains, in which
Miss Shaw wrote:
l am frightened and lonely, but it seems
to me so much worse to go on. Love to all
of you, Isabel and others. ETHEL.
In letter to her brother, Allan G.
Shaw, Montreal, Canada, to whom she
left all her possessions, she directed the
payment of $1,000 to Mrs. Samuel Carey
of West Forty-sixth street, New York.
