FRIEND OF SCHLATTER
DECLARES RIGHT NAME
OF HEALER is M'LEAN

CHICAGO. Oct. 22.-The real name
of Francis Schlatter, who died at Hast
inge. Neb, was stated by David Mac
Naughton today to be Charles Nc
Lean. MacNaughton has known the
alleged healer for thirty-five years.
Mr.. MacNaughton said Il have
known Schlatter, or, more properly,
Mclean, for thirty-five years. He
came from the Highland section of
Scotland, and his family and mine
were friends in the old country.
Every time lie came to Chicago
during the last ten years I was with
him much of the time. He used to
slap me on the shoulder and declare l
was his one best friend and that when
he died he would leave me a million.
l don't know just how much money he
had He always seemed to be well
supplied with funds and had a number
of jewels.
Mclean. as I know him, was per-
sonal friend of Paul Kruger, the for
mer president of the Transvaal. One
time when he came to Chicago he
showed me some jewels the Transvaal
president had given him. He had been
around the world several times and
there was scarcely country he had
not visited at some time.
"As regards his claim to being a di-
vine healer, know nothing except
every time he came to my house he
carried a big satchel filled with news
paper clippings telling of his wonder
full cures"
MacNaughton said he would probably
go to Hastings to take charge of the
body

Friend of Former Faith curer Says
He Knew Him s5 Years, and
viii Go to Hastings
for Remains
tBy Associated Press.I

HASTINGS, New, Oct. 22.-Denver
will be called on to identify Francis
Schlatter, who died here Thursday
morning, as the divine healer who fif-
teen years ago made that city the Nee
ca of the halt and the blind.
A flashlight of the body of the sup
posed divine healer was taken in the
local morgue, and sent to Denver. A
careful examination of the dead mans
effects seems to bear out the state
ments Schlatter made before his death.
To DIR. e. A. Weir, city physician,
Schlatter protested that he was the
original divine healer. Apparently he
expected to die, as he told the physi-
clan that in case he should not re-
cover he should notify David Mac
Naughton, Chicago, a dear friend. A
telegram has been sent to Mr.. Nc
Naughton.
]. w. Wallace, a grocer, who was in
Denver at the time Schlatter was draw
ing thousands by his cures, has viewed
the body and says this is the same
man.
Jacob Fisher, the postmaster, who
with his daughter went to Denver to
see the healer, declares this to be the
body of the man who cured thousands
in Denver.

BURN FARMS TO
CHECK DISEASE
PLANTERS RESIST EFFORTS OF
GERMAN COMMISSION
TWO OWNERS sARRIcADED THEIR
HOMES AND ARE DEPoRTED
Members of Committee Fired on, but
None Injured-Samoa Has un-
precedented Spell of Dry
Weather
[By Associated Press. ]

TUTUILA, Samoa, Sept. 1S-(Via
San Francisco, Oct. 22)-Because the
Cacao commission appointed by the
German residents of German Samoa
ordered some of the plantations to be
burned in order to exterminate the dis
ease now attacking vegetation two of
the planters remained barricaded and
resisted the police by force of arms.
For several days the planters remained
barricaded in their homes and fired at
every officer that appeared in sight.
No one was injured, and after their
arrest the planters declared they had
only fired blank cartridges to intimi-
date the police,
The two planters were summarily
deported by order of the German gov
ernOr.
A number of the plantations were
burned and one planter was so AFFECT
ed by his loss he became insane.
This place has been experiencing un-
precedented dry weather since the be-
ginning of the year and the rainfall for
the season is only 81 inches. 1t is the
driest season on record. The water
supply problem at this station was
serious until a few days ago when a
copious rainfall began.
The first American manufacturing
interest has been started here, which
is making soaps from ingredients pro-
duced in the islands.

BANKS LOSE $4,000
BY ALLEGED FORGER
GIVES SUPPOSED WAREHOUSE
RECEIPTS AS PLEDGE
to Have Control of Output of
Grain Of Big Wheat
Section

SEATTLE, Oct. 22..Although the
National Bank of Commerce of this
city declines to state the amount OF
money it lost through the operations
of ]. NJ. Bennington, now under arrest
at Spokane, charged with forgery, the
banks loss is said to be $685. 900.
Other banks are said to have lost
S25, 900 more.
Bennington came to Seattle about a
year ago. and approached several banks
with a request for a loan on securities
which he represented to be warehouse
certificates for wheat at Ritzville.
Bennington told the bankers he ap-
preached that the farmers around
Ritzville were dissatisfied with the
prices they had been getting for their
wheat, and had decided to handle their
own output.
He described an association which
had been organized at Ritzville for the
purpose of carrying the wheat, and as
serted that warehouses had been built
and they contained the grain of all
farmers in the association.
His proposition was accepted finally
by the National Bank of Commerce,
and according to the information OBJ
tainable Bennington gave his note for
S25, 900 and interest, and deposited the
alleged warehouse certificates as secur-
ity.

NEW YORK SAID TO
BE BIG BORROWER
INFLUENCE ON DISCOUNT RATE
CAUSES CONTROVERSY
Jacob H. Schlff Declares That Report
of $500, 100000 Aid from For
eIgn Markets Is an
ExaggeratIon

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-New York
bankers are not entirely agreed as to
the influence of New York credit opera
tions in having forced the sensational
advances of the last two weeks in the
Bank Of England's official discount
rate.
Current estimates of New York's bor-
roWings from foreign markets have run
as high as $500, 100000 for the season.
Jacob H. Schiff asserts that much ex-
aggeration has attended these esti-
mates, 1t Is a fact however, that New
York clearing house banks contracted
the loan account S110,000,000 from the
last week in August to october IL, with
out evidence Of any corresponding
liquidation in the stock market
These loans were supposed to have
been transferred to a large extent tc
foreign banks At the same time the
country's foreign trade has been abnor-
NAL In the heavy value of imports and
the scanty exports, leaving no adequate
supply of exchange to meet maturing
indebtedness abroad.
Plans for flotation of new bond issues
also have been held UP in which foreign
bankers We're expected to participate,
and thus take up portions of maturing
indebtedness.
Miscalculation of the autumn money
markets Is admitted to have resulted
from these abnormal conditions. The
rapid rise in foreign exchange rates in
New York for several days past shows
that foreigners are insisting on pay
ment of maturing Indebtedness, and in
dicate that exports of gold may be In
yolved in meeting the requirements.
Gold exports to Europe are not I'M
probable, judging from the intimations
given out by bankers today. The assay
office has some $5,OOO,0OO in gold bars on
hand, and inquiry as to it's availability
for export may be made today.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-American

ing the towns of Harput, Diarbakir,
Bitlis and Van. The syndicate Will
also construct a branch line to the
Mediterranean with a terminus at Jer-
mutilak, on the gulf of Alexandretta.
Inspired by the success of this syn
dictate, other American combinations or
capital are seeking their concessions In
Turkey. These concessions include the
construction and operation of railroads,
barbors, telephones and electrical en-
terprizes.
Consul A. Donaldson Smith at Pa
tras. Greece, reports that the electric
line there Is to be extended by It's
American owners, while Consul Lin
ard, at Ceceba, Honduras, reports that
the Honduras railway company, an
American concern, has completed
eighteen miles of grading and is en-

SAYS THREE MURDERED BY
MAN FAMILIAR WITH HOUSE
Prosecuting Attorney of Wyandotte
County, Kansas, Has New Theory
of Triple Crime

KANSAS CITY, Oct. ga coroner's
inquest over the bodies Of Alonzo Won
Royen, his wife and her sister, Miss
Rosa Mcmahon, who were murdered
on their farm five miles west of Kan
sas City, Kas., Wednesday, was begun
today. The county authorities are
working on a new theory, which arises
from the fact that the Won Royen
homestead showed no evidences of a
hurried search by the murderer, though
robbery is known to have been com
mitted.
1.-THE murderer is someone familiar
with the premises, and someone ac-
quainted with the family, and not a
tramp" said Prosecuting Attorney
Taggart today. From the nature of
the wounds, the murderer must have
fred several shots into each body after
it lay on the ground. This indicates to
nv mind that he was someone who
feared he would be recognized and de-
sired to make sure that all were dead"

FILES ANSWER TO SUIT
Denies Allegations of Rudolph and
Claus A. Spreckels, Who Ask
for Removal of Trustee

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-The
Oceanic Steamship company filed an
answer today to the suit of Rudolph
and Claus A. Spreckels asking for the
removal of the Union Trust company.
of this city, as trustee of the bond
issue of the steamship company.
The answer denies all the allegations
in the complaint, specifically saying
that neither John d. Spreckels nor the
John D. Spreckels company ever con-
trolled either the steamship company
or the Union Trust company.
That interest due has not been paid
is admitted but this is desired to be in
accordance with the trust agreement,
which allows the company to reinvest
available moneys or use them for re-
deeming bonds.
