STEAMER
UNDER SUSPICION
VESSEL HELD UP IN PORT OF
NEW YORK
COLLECTOR LOEB AND OFFICERS
TO INSPECT CARGO
Ship Is Believed to Contemplate Fill
clustering Expedition Against
San Domingo-orders Issued
from Washington
cBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, June 30-The British
steamer Ethelwold, small and harm
less looking, lying at the outer edge OF
the forest of shipping which skirts the
south Brooklyn water front, was held
up by the federal customs officers to-
night on suspicion that she was about
to engage in f1lbustering expedition
against San Domingo.
The order to retain the steamer was
received from Assistant Secretary NC
Harg, department of commerce ana
labor, and was promptly executed by
William Loeb, collector of the port OF
New York.
The Washington advices said the
minister from Hayti had complained to
the state department that the Ethel
void was believed to have been engaged
by Jose st. Pierre Giorrdani and Gen.
Juan Jiminez, San Dom'ngans, to en-
gage in a filibustering expedition.
Within an hour Collector Loeb had
two customs officers on the ship. They
were placed aboard with orders not
to let her sail.
Customs Inspector Dodge explained
that he and Inspector Rulberger had
come aboard scarcely an hour before
to see that the vessel did not sail.
He said no inspection had been made
Of the cargo and none would be I'M
dertaken tonight, and that although he
knew nothing definitely of any fill
clustering, he did not know that some
thing of the sort was suspected.
A search of the cargo, he said, prob
ably would be made tomorrow.

Both my husband and myself were

and further efforts were useless. Then
Mr.. Cooper came to Davenport in No
vember, 1907, and after reading of his
work in the newspapers, my husband
went with me to consult him When

me his medicine would help me, guar
anteed it and said it would not cost
a penny If it failed to give relief after
a thorough trial We took home with
us treatment of his New Discovery
medicine and 1 began taking it, 1t
helped me in various ways, but did
not relieve the pain in my head until
1 had taken 1t for five weeks. Then,
on Christmas day. the pain suddenly
left me, and has not since returned. I

QUEER MYSTERY
MAY BE SOLVED
IRISH GIRL FOUND GAGGED
PLACED ON TRIAL
LAWYER PROMISES SENSATION
AL DEVELOPMENTS
Young Woman Discovered Uncon-
scious in Hotel Bath Room Ac-
cused of Theft May Be
Victim of Plot

CHICAGO, June 3o-When Ella Gin
giles was placed on trial here late to-
day it was promised by her attorney,
H p O'Donnell, that the sensational
mystery surrounding the finding of
his client bound, gagged and uncon-
scious in a bathroom at the yelling
ton hotel last winter would be cleared
up.
Ella Gingles, an Irish girl who
came to Chicago, it is said, from Can
ada, first came into public notice a
year ago when she was charged by
Miss Agnes Barrett her employer of
purloining certain articles from the
compliments lace shop.
Irish societies and several society
women took an interest in her case.
Many believed she was the victim
of a conspiracy. A few months later
the wellington hotel incident occurred.
Miss Gingles told a remarkable story
of having been kidnapped by a man
and a woman in cab and decoyed to
the bathroom, where she was found
bound to the tub. She is to be tried
now on the theft charge.
Attorney O'Donnell said today that
not only would this episode be cleared
up, but that light would be shed on
the sudden death a few days ago of
Mrs. Cecilia Kenyon, close friend of
Miss Barrett and the states principal
witness. Mrs. Kenyon died suddenly
at a roadhouse on the southern out
skirts of the city.
The man who accompanied her was
allowed to escape, it is said, but his
name is now known to Coroner Hoff-
man, it is stated. He is said to stand
high both politically and commercially
in Chicago.
Mr.. O'Donnell also promised that he
would show that all of his clients
troubles had been due to an attempt
to force her into a life toward which
her womanhood rebelled.

FLAGS TRAIN BUT
ONE is KILLED BY WRECK

KANSAS CITY, June 30.-But for
the presence of mind of Mrs. Jenny
Llewellyn, an aged woman living near
by in a tent, who ran on to the tracks,
tagging the west bound Excelsior
Springs train on the Wabash railroad
near Missouri City, Mo, the headon
collision of a freight and a passenger
train at that point last night would
probably have resulted in many IA
talities. AS 1t was, one man was
killed, one woman badly injured and
ten slightly injured.
The passenger engineer was enabled
to lessen the speed of his train and
to prevent a more serious collision
Both engines were demolished and two
cars of the passenger train were tele-
ScOned.

MORE OR LESS RIGHT.

In o recent address to medical stu
dents, Senator Depsw said that the
party with the greatest majority 10
more right than the minority party"
That sounds almost as incontestable
as an axiom In geometry. The corol'
larry IL that the minority party 10 more
wrong than the party with the great
est majority. So. when we sit up
election nights TO see which party
succeeded In buying the most votes,
we discover by that wrong what is
right Thus, party lines are coin
cident with ethical distinctions. Ali
the mostright people are In the party
with the greatest majority. The not
so-right people are In the party with
the greatest minority. The very
wrong people are in the smaller par
ties. This, as noted above. is axio-
matte.
But these distinctions are subject to
change without notice. For instance.
prior to the election Of 1892 Senator
Depew was more-right. After Cleve-
land was elected, he wes notso-right.
Then he became more-right again.
