CANADIANS HEIRS TO
ENGLISH FORTUNE
Claims Based on a Runaway
Marriage of Lady Anne Tai
bot a Century Ago

Ottawa. Oct. 2S.-As the result of a
romantic elopement which occurred
nearly one hundred years ago in Eng
land, several residents of Ottawa and
the vicinity expect to become possess
ors of immense fortunes known as the

heirs to this fortune are j. Bleeks and
Mrs. j. Andrews of Ottawa, Mrs.
Gideon Taylor. Aylmer; w. H. Bleeks,

Mann, Stittsville; and several others.
The history of the property is a
romantic one. About 1920 Lady Anne
Talbot. daughter of wealthy noble
man Of England, fell in love with a
man named George Healey. To this
attachment her father was strenuously
opposed and he determined to prevent
her marrying Healey. The daughter.

GEBHARDT IS
BEING SNEATED
Officials Believe They Will Un-

BY Him

New York, Oct. 2S-Pressure by the
police, which has already forced from
Frederick Gebhardt, alias Otto Muel-
Her. intimations that he may have
done away with other wives besides
Anna Luther, for whose killing he
is now imprisoned at Islip. l.. L., was
again applied today to the man who
is believed by the authorities to have
made business of marrying women
and putting them out of the way for
their money. The authorities today
were working on the theory that at
least three more crimes like that
which Gebhardt committed at Islip,
could be traced to his door. In this
connection they are investigating a
story told there that Gebhardt, under
the name of Mueller, was the man
who had, in 1906. induced his board
ing mistress of Kamaci, L. L., Mrs.
Mary Katz, to sell out her boarding
house and turn the money over to
him. as we'll as make him the bene-
ficiary of her life insurance policy.
Three days later she was found dead
in Jersey City and there were no
signs of murder.

London, Oct 2S-Mrs. Chapin, the
suffragette, furnished an early morn
ing thrill at the Bermondsey by cleo
ton today. when she smashed bottle
containing corrosive acid upon the
ballot box. Her intention evidently
was to destroy the ballots in the box
as a protest against the exclusion of
women from the right of franchise.
What she accomplished was the pain
full burning of some of the election
officers and the assurance of her ar
rest. Slipping into one of the booths,
where perhaps a thousand ballots had
been deposited, Mrs. Chaplin drew
from under her cloak bottle in
which ink had been mixed with cor
rosive acid and before she could be
stopped. hurled the bottle upon the
box. The bottle broke into many
pieces and the. flying acid splashed
upon the election off1cers. A num-
ber of officers were so severely In
jured as to require medical atten-
tion. At the same time. similar
attempt was made in another booth
by a yound girl, who wore the suf-

ascertained, not much acid reached
the ballots in either case. Later, in

A BIG VICTORY
Court Refused to Admit the
Bloody Shirt As Evidence
in Arbogast Trial !

st. Paul, Oct. 2S.-Judge Orr, pre-
siding in the trial of Mrs. Nina Arbo-
gast on the charge of numbering her
husband, Louis Arbogast, this morn
ing sustained an objection of the de-
Tense to the introduction Of the bloody
shirt found by Lawrence Ulmer. Mrs.
Arbogast's son-in-law, and identified
by Babe Arbogast as her mothers
property. County Attorney O'Brien
fought hard for the introduction OF
his bloody shirt, which was consider
ed a vital point by the state. Its OBJ
lection of this ruling of the court is
material victory for the defense.
The testimony about Mrs. Arbogast's
mental condition, after the death of
her husband, went into the evidence
this morning in the cross-examination
by the defense. Until this morning
Attorney Patrick j. Mclaughlin had
asked no questions whatever. as to
Mrs. Arbogast's mental conditions,
either before or after the tragedy.
But in his cross-examination of Miss
Minnie r. Lyod. the trained nurse
who attended the defendant, he made
much of Mrs. Arbogast's mental con-
dition. "as affected by her physical
condition" Miss Lyod testified that
Mrs. Arbogast was delirious and that
delirium was caused by her physical
injuries. But nothing was brought
out as to her mental condition prior
to the murder. Nothing of that sort
was attempted In fact. as Miss Lloyd
was not called in until after the

Quincy. Mass, Oct. 2S-slowly and
cautiously the battleship North Da-
kota, Americas second "super-dread-
naught," crept away from the docks
of the Fore River Shipbuilding COM
pany today, Unanswered through the
narrow windings of the Weymouth
Fore river and Hull bay and then
headed for Provincetown. Several
thousand spectators cheered the great
war vessel as she left the yard of her
builders. Her trip to the tip end of
Cape Cod today was for the purpose
of giving her the builders trial, in
the course of which her turbine en-
gines, the first installed in any Ameri-
can battleship, will be given thor
ough test An effort will be made to
have them send her through the wa
ter at speed in excess of her con-
tract requirement of twenty-one knots
an hour. The North Dakota will re-
turn tonight or tomorrow morning
to Boston harbor and will go into
dry dock at the Charlestown navy
yards to be prepared for her official
trial off the Maine coast next week.
The keel of the North Da'-otl was
laid two years ago, about lo same
time when the work on the Delaware
now building at Newnort News. Va,
was begun. The work on the North
Dakota would have been completed
some time ago had it not been for the
fact that there was a delay in the ar
rival OF the arnsors for thezs turtets.
Nevertheless, the builders expect to
be able to turn the ship over to the
government by January 1, 1910.
The North Dakota is 518 feet in
length. S5 feet broad and draws q
feet Of water. In its finished state
the ship has displacement of 20,-
O0O tons, and 1t is expected that it's
powerful turbine engines Of $4,000
horsepower will give to the gigantic
vessel a speed of twenty-one knots
an hour. The total cost of the ship
will be about $5,500,O00 after every
thing is completed.
The deck of the North Dakota is
studded with five protected turrets,
each sheltering two 12-inch guns of
the latest type. Two fire control
masts, each 1870 feet high, and con-
structed of hollow piping, rise from
the deck. The main battery also in
cludes two 21 inch submerged torpe-
do tubes. It's secondary battery con-
sfsts of fourteen 5 inch rapid fire
guns for saluting purposes and four
one Founders, also two inch field
pieces for landing parties and two
30 caliber machine guns capable of
firing 400 to 600 shots minute
The North Dakota is the first fight
ing ship ever built in which the quar-
ters of the captain and senior off,
GERS are not in the stern but in the
bow of the ship. The four room
suite of the captain and the guests
rooms are finished in mahogany. while
the rooms of the other officers are
finished in quartered oak. The quar-
ters are furnished with every con-
venience of first class apartment
house, including luxurious bath rooms
