mist, died yesterday at Berlin, Germany.
He was born in 1868. Prof, Won Halle

preparation of several naval bills. He
was personally liked by Emperor Will
liam.
Find Deceptive Counterfeit
The secret service in New York has
sent out warnings to bankers to watch
for two deceptive counterfeits. One is
$40 bill purporting to have been Is
sued by the National Union bank Of
Baltimore, and the other a counter
felt $40 national note on the Germania
bank of San Francisco. Both bills
are said to be clever limitations.
To Unveil Statue-A large
bronze statue of General Francis Spin
ner, the former treasurer of the United
States, whose autograph on greenbacks
was famous because of it's popularity,
will be unveiled this afternoon at
his birthplace in Herkimer, N. Y. The
funds for the statue, which will cost
S25, 900, were raised principally among
the women employees in the government
OI1ceS at washington.
His Stand Indorsed-The atti-
tude of Cardinal Andrieu of Bordeaux,
who recently refused to appear in
court to answer charges in connection
with an alleged breach of the separa-
tion law, has been warmly indorsed by
the militant bishops and clergy, and
prosecutions are threatened against
churchmen who menace the faithful
frn
property forfeited under the law in
question.
Investigates Snuggling-Com-
missioner General of immigration
Daniel J, O'Keefe is in San Francisco
on an inspection trip of the various
immigration stations of the Pacific
coast. Incidentally he stated that he
!: !: !. i : :
straits and did not have money enough
to take himself to Europe, to say moth
ing of taking the girl.
Pawned Woman's Jewels
After all is said and DONE the one
striking fact remains that Eastman,
following the murder came to Balti-
more and pawned the jewels of the
woman he is supposed to have loved
The indications are he also took a
considerable sum of money from her.
There are many who believe that Mrs,
Woodill frequently had supplied the
man with money.
Returning from Baltimore after pawn
ing the dead girls jewels, Eastman
ioked with his aequaintances, showed
them a large roll of bills and conducted
himself in the coolest manner. He
showed no trace of excitement until
after the identity of the body became
known.
The members of the jury who believe
there may be some truth in Eastmanls
letter are anxious the mystery of the
launch containing two or three women
and men coming out of Broad creek,
on which the bungalow is located, shall
be cleared up. Three wine and two
whisky glasses which had been used
were found in the bungalow subse-
duent to the murder. In spite of the
stories of many gay parties, drinking
at the bungalow, no one of the many
persons who knew Eastman during his
several months residence here can be
found to say they ever saw the man
take a drink.
Arrest May Be Made Soon
1t was intimated today that the in
vestigations into the identity of the
launch party may lead to an arrest at
any moment However, it is certain
that so far there is nothing tangible TO
take from Eastman's shoulders the
burden of responsibility for Mrs. Wood
ill's death
Nothing is known here of the alleged
discovery of a partly burned note
which is said to have warned Eastman
that his presence in Baltimore last
Tuesday was known to the police This
note is said to have given the theory
that fight was necessary for Eastman
and he planned to have Mrs. Woodill
elope with him.
1t is said today a witness will testify
that Eastman told him he had known
Mrs. Woodill for some time prior to
her marriage to the Los Angeles auto
mobile dealer and that he had visited
her at her home in California.
The Eastman bungalow, which is
seven miles from here, was stripped of
its furniture late Saturday by the
sheriff on an attachment for debt.
Mrs Eastman will apply today for
letters of administration so that she
may take legal possession of her hus-
bands farm.
