 New York. Aug. f9.-The announce ment of the engagement of Fritz Au- gustus Heinze, Montana copper mag nate and New York banker, to Der nice Henderson, an actress in "A Fool There Was" company, has aroused the ire of Lillian Hobart French, who as- serts that she was very intimate with the millionaire for twelve years. Mrs. French has notified her lawyers to commence suit against Heinze for the recovery of some stock in a min ing company which she alleges was worth s25O00. She says that Heinke gave her the stock and that she loan ed it to him during the panic of 1907 in an effort to save him from ruin. She also connects Banker Morse, now in the Atlanta penitentiary, with the operations of Heiuze in an effort to make profits out of a stock deal just before the panic. Mrs French has exhibited a number of endearing let ters alleged to have been written by Heinze to her as evidence that he is under certain obligations to her.

 SUICIDE OF YOUNG
 WOMAN IN HOTEL
(Special from United Press. ]


 Boston, Aug. 31.-Shot through the heart and leaving only the penciled words, "Ill health," on a scrap Of pa per in a room of Youngs Hotel here where she ended her life, a woman whose identity promised to prove a mystery, was today discovered to be Clara D. Cavanaugh, 25, of the Bos- ton suburb of Roxbury- The 1dent- 1cation was made by her sister Louise partly through an amethyst brooch and leather wristbag marked G. D. C." which the woman carried to the room where she shot herself.

Then again he said that he did not think that the big fight could be classed as a good clean sporting event in view of the fact that the negro could have disposed of Jeffries in one or two rounds if 1t had not been for the pie ture money. He said that he agreed with the Governor of California that the fight was fake and that he did not believe that there is anything very edifying in allowing the illustra- ton to be shown of how a burly negro knocked out man who was physical wreck before he went into the ring.

SEOUL, February 11.-Through the
confession of the Korean who attempt

been discovered that an organized muir

Immediately after making the at

and the authorities started to work to
discover what affiliations he had and
whether or not he committed his fell
deed of his own volition or as the rep

latter to be the case.

1t is the practise of the government
