Anonymous Letter Reveals His
Relations With Young Woman
Member Of Flock.

Herkilner, N. Y, March ~14.-Follow-
Ing a confession that he had ruined
Miss Abby Haynes, one of the most
popular and attractive young women
in his congregation, the Rev. S. Rob-
inson. pastor of the First Methodist
church of this village, has been sus-
pended by the church board.
The story Of his downfall has been
a great shock to the residents of this
place, where both the pastor and his
unhappy victim have heretofore been
held in highest esteem. Because Of the
bitter public sentiment against him
and threats that have beer openly
made, the deposed preacher has been
cautioned not to appear in the public
streets, and to get out of town quietly
before he is ridden out on a rail.
1t was an anonymous letter that first
warned MIR. Haynes, father OF the girl,
that all was not well, While the letter
has not been directly traced, it is gen
orally believed that it came from some
one connected with the liquor interests.
AS head of the Anti-Liquor league. Rob
inson has been making a bitter fight
for no license" in Herkimer, and the
saloon keepers have been keeping close
tab on him. This, it is believed, is
primarily responsible for his exposure.
At any rate, Abbie's father began to
watch after receiving the letter and
soon had evidence that, while not con-
elusive, made him morally certain of
the preachers guilt. He accused his
daughter and she finally broke down
and told all.

PRESIDENT URGED TO
SETTLE BIG STRIKE
Philadelphia Hopes He May Be
Induced to Intervene in
Great Trouble.

Philadelphia, March 12.-With the
federal government interested, the Ma
tional Civic federation appealed to for
it's assistance, and nearly every local
rad or other organization aroused to
action, all Philadelphia hopes that the
general movement started yesterday to
speedily end the big labor conflict will
bring about the desired end.
All the plans so for devised called for
arbitration. The striking carmen are
willing to submit their grievances to
impartial judges, but the directors of
the Rapid Transit company have re-
peatedly declared hat they have con-
ceded as much as they intend to along
that line and will consider no further
plans looking for arbitration.
The belief is general that If President
Taft should see his way clear to at
tempt to bring about peace a plan may
be found that will bring the warning
clements together. There is no law un-
der which the president can act, as in
terstate m is not involved and
whatever steps he nay take probably
would Sc along the lines President
Roosevelt laid down when he interven-
ed in the anthracite coal strike in 1902.

New York, March 12.-Bradstreet's
today says:
Trade reports continue to display a
certain degree of irr~egularity, a ten
dency practically noticeable in the east,
parts Of the nearby south and in scat
tered sections Of the west. Yet bal
ance trading at a majority of points is
probably better than it was last week,

In good shape, the far west good, with
the southwest satisfactory. though
house sales there are lighter, while the
west, except Ohio and parts of Iowa,
reports progress.
More favorable weather conditions
appear to be the chief influence MAX
ing for improvement, but on the other
hand the poor condition of country
roads tends to deter anything like a free
movement. Staple lines are in chief
request, and as a matter of fact buy
ers continue backwards as to future
commitments except where price condi-
lions favor them. High prices of man

barriers against expansion in trade,
but as the situation stands manufac-
lures find it difficult to reduce prices

are so high and because present profits

that trade does not measure up to an
ticipations which were keyed up to a
high point. Retail trade has improved
at a few points. but on the whole the
weeks developments have not been es-
pecially satisfactory, prospects of a
very early Easter traden not having ma
terialized. Collections are slow. Tho
labor situation is, if anything, more
unsettled than a week ago.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade today says:
Nearly every report from the large
trade centers is of transactions we'll
above last week and of a bright out
look for the new season. Financial
conditions are also much stronger, and
altogether a better sentiment prevails.
This improvement, however, is in spite
of considerable uneasiness on account
Of the strike in Philadelphia, which
causes some uncertainty as to future
developments. The temperance of
the railroads as active purchasers of
rolling stock and other needed equip
ment is the important development in
iron and steel, while evidences that
construction work will be pushed with
vigor gives the situation as a whole
a decidedly improved aspect. The needs
of the railroads cover various forms of
equipment and are apparently becom-
ing more urgent, judging from the i'm
portant inquiry now pending.

more secure refuge.
Patterns coming to Manchester had
been widely heralded, and the reception
was ready for him. There are persons
IN Manchester who were squeezed in
the Patten rise in the price OF cotton
last year, and they have neither for
gotten nor forgiven the man who at
times has forced the price Of cotton
and grain to new figures.
AS soon as Patten appeared on the
floor of the cotton exchange at the
Cottonopolis' today, a broker shout

and hootings. The brokers rushed to-

the brokers made a final rush and
drove the wheat king into the street.
Inc business of the exchange was
suspended and hundreds of men left the
Pit and followed the Spectator into
Bank street. Here the visitor received
n reception even more riotous than that
which greeted him inside.
A hundred fists We're shaken at Pat

PRINCE SAGAN NOW RICH

Paris, March 15.-The death of the

figure so that he will hardly be justi-
fed hereafter in drawing on his wife's
bank account to satisfy a relentless
creditor.
The former Anna Gould is able now
to take a more Cheerful! view Of life
than any previous time since she left

RELATIVE OF THE
PRESIDENT TAKES
LIFE WITH PISTOL

Pittsburg, Pa, March 15.-A %coroner's
report today gave the cause of the
death Of Thomas K. Laughlin,
brother-in-law Of President Taft, who
died yesterday, as suicide by shoot
ing"
Death was first reported as due to
cerebra hemmorhages according to the

taneouS.
According to authoritative informa-
ton, Laughlin's body was found by
servants in the basement of his home
with a gaping wound in the side of the
head. A report Of the death was not
returned to the coroner, it is said, until
last night, when a return was quietly
made and entered by two doctors.
For months Mr.. Laughlin had been
a sufferer from v trouble.
Mr.. Laughlin was the son Of Major
George N. Langhlin, who died but q
few mouths ago. He was born March
16, 1875, and was among the prominent
young men of the business and social
life here. He married at Cincinnati in
1902 Miss Heron, a sister of Mrs. Taft.
Besides the widow he caves two sons
William, aged 6, and Thomas, aged 4,
and two brothers, George M. Laughlin,
jr., one of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
company, and Irwin Laughlin, secre-
tary to the American embassy at Ber-
lin.
Mr.. Laughlin was a member of the
executive board and secretary and
treasurer of the Jones & Laughlin com
pany, also a bank director and member
of many clubs. He was a graduate of
Yale class '97, and prepared at st.
Paul's school, Concord, N. H. The

1t is at the Laughlin residence that
President Taft stops when he visits
Pittsburg.
