NEVER FOUND OUT
THE GUILTY MAN
Henry Dexter Died After Seven Years
Worry Trying to Unravei
Murder Mystery.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Henry Dex-
ter, millionaire president of the Ameri-
can News company, who died at his
home here in his ninety-eighth year,
spent the greater part of the last sew
en- years of his life in an unavailing
search for the murderer of his son,
Orlando P. Dexter.
A reward of $4,000, which was Of
fered by Dexter for the apprehension
of the murderer, is said to be con-
tinued in the codicil to the nonogenar-
ians will
Orlando P. Dexter was shot in the
back in September, 1903, while driv-
ing along a road on his estate in the
Adirondack mountains. The bullet
that killed him passed entirely through
his body and killed the horse he was
driving. 1t was believed that Dexter
was murdered by some one who had
a grudge against him because he had
bought about 10000 acres OF land in
the best game section of the Adiron-
dacks. Dexter always believed his
sons murderer was being shielded by
prominent men He is said to have
expended at least $4,000 in an effort
to clear up the mystery

mems of United States regulars from
Fort Wayne gave an exhibition drill
before the visiting Elks.

PORCH VISITING
is NO CRIME
st. Louis Court Decision Approves of
Callers Staying as Long as
They Like.

ST. LOUIS, July 13.-Girls, if they
are of age, may entertain their beaux
on the front porches of their homes
as late as they please without fear
of lawful interference on the part of
papa or mamma, according to deci-
sion handed down by Judge Kleiber in
the Wyoming Street Police Court yes
terday. The case was that of Charles
L. Justus of 1857 Cherokee street, who
was charged with disturbing the peace
of his daughter, Lena.
According to testimony he an
nounced to his household that in the
future the front porch would have to
be clear of young men after II p. m.
Miss Lena, it was testified, became
SO angry that she threw some dishes
she was washing, around the room.
Justus pushed her and she fell. Her
mother and sister flew to her rescue.
They testified Justus drew revolver,
which he emphatically denied. The
court ruled there was no ordinance
prohibiting young women from enter
tanning their friends as late as they
chose, and fined Justus $40, but stayed
1t pending future conduct.

BANKER ESCAPES
FROM THE PEN

After Almost Giving
Up Hope.

JOLIET, Ill, July 13.-Former Judge
Abner B. Smith. convicted in connec-
ton with the wrecking of the Bank
of America at Chicago, will be released
from the penitentiary as soon as Gov
ernor Deneen signs his parole.
The state board of pardons passed
yesterday at Springfield upon two of
the most important cases which have
come before it at the present session.

wrecked the Bank of America, and de-
MED the petition Of George Gill Rob-
erts, who Is serving twenty-one-year

nouncement. for Chester, where anoth-
er meeting is being held today.

petition was denied two weeks ago in
Joliet.
The board unexpectedly reconsid-
cred its decision and an affirmative ac-
tion was determined upon.

PROPER HARBORS
ASKED ON RIVERS
Keynote Of the Great Waterway Con-
vention at ST.


ST. PAUL July 13.-Archbishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, and Senator
Clapp, of Minnesota, were the prin-
cfpal speakers at the evening session
of the Upper Mississippi River I'm
provement association which is in
session here. Ireland spoke on the
history and grandeur of the river and
the future of the states which border
on it. The trend of all the addresses
was to emphasize the fact that the
national government is now in fair
way to accomplish the dredging of a
six foot channel from the head of
navigation to st. Louis, but that to
reap the benefit, state and municipal
governments must provide adequate
facilities for handling the freight and
furnish proper harbor and levees.
Other speakers were Congressman
Steenerson of Minnesota; Mayor
Keller, of st. Paul; Mayor Haynes,
Minneapolis, and Major Keller of
Rock Island, Ill.

confiscated Beer Emptied Into snipe
Run by tho Sheriff, Who
Did His Full
Duty.
STREAM WAS BoIsTRoUs
Necks Of Bottles Were Broken and
Their Life Blood Ebbed Away
Into the Foamlns
Waters.

MT. PLEASANT, July 1S--Grave
and disturbing fears assailed the pro-
hibitionists and anti-saloon leaguers.
The south wind waited an odor toward
the city which was distinctly alcoholic
and led those good citizens to think
that perhaps the old brewery was
again in operation. But such was not
the case. 1t was only two barrels of
perfectly good beer which Sheriff Goe
and his deputy, Carl Lauger, emptied
into the placid waters of the historic
stream. They acted under orders of
Justice Rich who, after the proper
procedure, had decided that it was
beer and ordered it destroyed. 1t was
the beer found on the Richmond prem
ises, the brand of which was not
learned, but suffice to say it was real,
genuine "suds" of the kind that made
Milwaukee famous.
And Snipe run for once got "full."
The staid old stream which once at
tanned the dignity of being called a
stream but which, with the passing of
years, has been curbed in by the
march OF progress and made to carry
sewage, for once in its life got riot
uously drunk Two barrels of beer
was too much. 1t gurgled and laughed
as it ran along over ripples and rocks.
1t swirled through culverts and eddied
around forbidding banks In mad riot
Gus glee 1t foamed and frothed and
| leaped along its course with wild de
rision, care free and happy on Its
way to the creek.
No ceremony accompanied the ex-
ecution of the bottles Singly they
were taken out and with cold-hearted
matter-of-fact method their necks were
broken and their life blood allowed to
ebb away. For the sheriff must be
cold hearted. His duty is not to legis-
late or administer justice simply to
execute. And he executed. In less
time than it takes to tell, the beer had
been transferred from the long
necked bottles into the current of the
stream. And the stuff which had been
the very essence and spirit of the
Farmers club had failed in its mis-
sion. The beer had been destroyed
and Justice was satisfied.

unrecosnizable
Shapes.
ERBsLoUGH's DIRIGIBLE
Airship Of Twelve Gas Bags Expiod-
ed While in Air and the Men
Met a Horrible
Fate.

COLOGNE, July S3.-Herr Erbs.
Tough. the world-renowned German
scientist and aviator and four COM
panions, were dashed to death today
In west Germany when the dirigible
balloon Erbslough, named after It's
inventor, fell from a height of 5000
feet.
Fiye heaps of crushed bones and
flesh, absolutely unrecognizable were
found under the balloon when those
who saw 1t fall arrived at the spot.
The airship consisted of twelve bal
loon bags placed side by side. A long
aluminium car for the engine and pas
sengers was swung below the gas bag.
The car contained two gasoline en-
gines of high power, which drove fore
and aft propellors. 1t had made sew
eral satisfactory short flights and
went aloft early today.
In the car were Erbslough and two
companions, together with two engi-
neers.
One OF the balloon nets burst and
in twinkling, all of the gas bags
burst. The heavy car fell like plum
it.
Physicians who examined the bodies
declared they had never seen any SO
badly mang1ed.
Erbslough won the balloon race
from st. Louis to the Atlantic coast
several years ago.
