CLAIMS HE SECURED
TITLE FOR DAUGHTER
John G. A. leishman, Ambassador to
Rome, Made Defendant in
5000 Suit Brought by
Paris Attorney
Especial to The Herald.l

PITTSBURG, March 11.-Claiming
that John G. A. Leishman. ambassa-
dor to Rome, owes him a balance of
$4,000 for securing a titled husband for
Miss Martha Leishman, Paris law
yer, o. e. Bodington. has had attor-
neys in Pittsburg place attachment
on Leishman's bank account with the
Union Trust company.
Leishman, who formerly was presi-
dent of the Carnegie Steel company, IS
wealthy and it is presumed he refused
to pay Bodingtons claim as matter
of principle. Miss Leishman married
count de Gontaut- Biron in 1904 Bod
ington alleges Leishman commits
stoned him to make all the financial
arrangements, and says he had much
trouble in arranging a satisfactory
monetary settlement with the count
before the marriage. The Paris lawyer
admits that Leishman has paid him
in part, but he insists he is entitled to
$4,000 more. Count de Gontaut-B1ron
died in December 1907.
His extravaganza after marriage
proved very costly to his American
father-in- law, who stood it for awhile,
and then sent word from Constanti-
nople, Leishman being minister to
Turkey at the time, that it would have
to stop. The count became unpleas-
antly peevish when he could no longer
get money, and the countess had taken
steps to get a divorce when the count
became i'll and died.

S1LOO0,O00 WORTH OF BONDS

Purchase of Moffat Road and Building

in Big Pro-
Ject
Especial to The Herald.l

DENVER, March 11.-Men well in
formed in railroad projects of the west
declare that in seeking an entrance
into Denver and the possible purchase
of the Moffat road. the Rock Island
Railroad company is contemplating a
movement to extend it's lines to the
Pacific coast.
For years the Rock Island company
and H. U. Nudge, it's president, have
had a desire to gain an outlet to the
Pacific coast. When it became known
today that the company had sold bonds
to the value of $11.OOO,OOO, a part of
which will be used in new construct
ion, presumably a line to connect
Denver with its western terminal at
Limon Junction. Colo, we'll informed
railroad men declared the company
was about to realize its long cherished
desire to reach the Pacific.
The Moffat road can be purchased,
providing Mr.. Moffat and his asso-
ciates get their price, and this, when
completed would supply the Rock ISL
and with a line to Salt Lake City.
From salt Lake City to the coast is
the one problem which will be difficult
to solve, but capital and energy can
accomplish anything.
Reports of a detailed investigation
of the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
railroad by Rock Island experts are
now on file in the latter company's Of
fees in Chicago. This admission was
made by President Nudge during his
visit in Denver today. Mr.. Nudge
stated that nothing further had been
done in the matter, and he refused to
state whether his road was contemplate
ing either the purchase or traffic
agreement with the Moffat road.

HOTEL RAFFLES' ROBS WEALTHY
GUESTS OF MONEY AND DIAMONDS
Mysterious Thief PreyS on Tourists and the
Management in Despair Employs De-
tectives--Servants Discharged,
TheftS Continue

terday afternoon was reticent about
the affair, but admitted that many OF
his guests had suffered considerable
loss from the "Raffles" that seemed TO
know no fear and who mingled with
them as freely as though the slightest
suspicion had not been aroused.
The first victim was Mrs. 70. M.
Warner and her daughter, Mabel War
ner, wealthy Chicago tourists visiting
in Southern California.
They arrived at the hotel February
q, and several days later three rings
valued at several hundred dollars and
800 in greenbacks were stolen from
their room while they were conversing
with a party of guests in the hallway.
Returning to their room. they found
they had been robbed and reported the
matter at once to the management. A
few days later a similar theft came to
light, and in rapid succession jewels,
money and diamonds disappeared mys-
teriously. Servants were discharged,
but the thefts continued. Mrs. War
ner and her daughter left the hotel,
and the management has redoubled it's
efforts to discover the offender.

KNOX IS FAILURE,
SAYS UNDERWOOD
Alabama Representative Declares the
Secretary of States Far East Di-
pIomacy Inferior to That
Shown by Predecessor

WASHINGTON, March 11.-"Secre-
tary Knox has not made good in far
eastern affairs" declared Representa-
tive Underwood of Alabama in the
house today. He added that Mr.. Knox
had not proved so able secretary of
state as his predecessor, Mr.. Root.
The section of the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill,
providing funds for the new division
of the state department having charge
of far eastern, near eastern, Latin
American and European affairs, was
under discussion.
Mr.. Burke of Pennsylvania warned
the house that any failure to provide
for continuance of the division would
be interpreted in the far east as evil
dence that congress was not in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Knox's far eastern
policy.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE bill
to incorporate the Rockefeller Founda-
tion was ordered favorably reported at
an executive session of the senate Dis
trict of Columbia committee today, fol-
lowing a statement made by Starr j.
Murphy, representative Of John D.
Rockefeller
Rev. f. T. Gates, a Baptist clergy
man, is also one of the men named in
the senate bill to incorporate the
Foundation. Mr.. Gates has been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Rockefeller since 1893.
He is known as one of his employer
benevolent representatives" and is fire.
quently called Mr. Rockefeller's al
moner." Mr.. Murphy is Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's personal lawyer and has acted in
that capacity since 1904.
Little additional light was thrown on
Mr. Rockefeller's purpose in asking for
federal charter by Mr.. Murphy In
his statement to the committee to
which the Gallinger bill to incorporate
the foundation was referred by the
senate.
Mr.. Murphy explained that Mr..
Rockefeller merely desired to extend
and broaden the scope of his philan-
along the lines of the general educa-
tion board which was chartered by
congress in 1903. The amount which he
expected to give for the purposes of
the foundation had not been deter
mined, said Mr.. Murphy.
Answering criticisms made by DR..
Devine, head of charity organizations
in New York, Mr.. Murphy said If pub
lie men were on the board they might
find themselves frequently embarrassed
by receiving appeals indorsed by gov
ernors of states or others of promin-
ence who would expect such cases to
be given especial attention.
"I have received more than a hun
dred such letters since the pending
bill was introduced" interrupted Sem
ator Gallinger.
Starting with one man who asks for
$25, the letters range all the way up
to the proposition of another for
$500,000."
your course is similar to mine," re-
sponded Mr.. Murphy.
"I have a letter from a woman who
asks to be supplied with a set of false
teeth, and others seeking sums all the
way up to $100,O00,00O."
Senator Carter asked if it would not
be we'll to specify In the charter that
personal property and funds of the
corporation be exempted from taxes in
the District of Columbia and the terri
tories. Mr.. Murphy thought there
could be no objection and the COM
mittee later favorably reported the bill
with that change.

An attractive guest of, the hotel

several servants in the hotel had been

and cunning have been the peculations
that the valuables of the guests seemed
to have been taken from under their
very eyes, and the thief has baffled all
efforts of the management and de-

Real Issue in Empire State Politics,
Postponed by Victory of Cobb
Forces, Will Be Consd-

Associated Pressl

ALBANY, N. Y. March Ex-senator
Newcomb gave notice today that he
was preparing to get some action on
his resolution providing for an un-
limited investigation of legislative cor
ruption and his declaration is regarded
as the first significant result or the
victory of the Republican organization
in the senate leadership fight.
The vote on the question OF sustain
ing Senator Conger's bribery charges
against Senator Aids was expected TO
furnish the next clash between the two
elements into which the election OF
Senator Cobb as president pro tenn split
the Republican party in the state
senate. But if Newcomb moves next
week to take up his resolution, the
lineup may come before the Aids in
Vestigation is over. Senator Cobb was
elected despite the opposition of Gov
ernor Hughes and of Senator Root.
Public opinion seems to have assSclated
the opposition to the leadership OF
Root and Hughes with an intention to
shut off further attempts to air legis-
lative scandals and with sympathy for
Aids. Hinman has been outspoken
against Aids during the debates over
the admission of certain testimony.
These circumstances lead to con-
clusion that Governor Hughes and the
"elder statesmen of the party in
Washington have agreed upon wider
legislative inquiry and are ready to
issue orders against any disposition to
shelter Aids.
Real Issue Postponed
The declaration of Sens tors Bracket
and Davenport that Cobb's victory only
postponed the issue is not denied by the
victorious organization men. They de-
clared, however, that the prestige of
defeating the combined forces of the
governor and the national administra-
tion will carry them victorious through
the next fight, whatever it may be
about.

Senator Elihu Root sent from Wash
ington urging the election of Senator

TAKE LAST GAME
DEFEATED THE p. c. s. IN FAST
GAME LAST NIGHT BY THE
SCORE OF TWENTY-FIVE TO
FIFTEEN.

The second game Of basket ball be-
tween the Brewton Collegiate Institute
and the Pensacola Classical School re-
suited in a victory for the former by
the score of twenty-five to fifteen at
the Y. M. G. A. gymnasium Last night
The game as whole was not as pretty
an exhibition of the sport as the Fri
day night game but was fully enjoyed
by the spectators who kept the hall
ringing with encouraging yells for
both sides although the play seemed
to lag at times. The defeat Friday
night apparently strengthened the
Brewbonites while the general team
work for the local players was con-
siderably off. their passing being ex-
ceptiona1ly poor.
For Brewton, Penn again starred.
His throwing of goals and fouls was
at all times accurate. Robbins also
played good game. For the CLASH
Gals. Finch played his usual fine game.
Harry Vinson also showed up well In
defensive work.
The members of the Brewton team
were given ride around the bay this
morning, visiting. the life saving sta
ton and lunching at the pavilion on
Santa Rosa Island.
The Brewton team. in charge of
Coach Mullin. leaves on the II O'Clock
