this tragedy lies another story, which
she also told as justification for her
act.
He was whipping mother she

But when mother screamed felt like

about dinner. When he said he would

M'CARTNEY IS NOT
YET LIBERATED
Man Accused of Grace Burns
Murder at Fargo Still in
Federal Prison

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 10.-Chief Of Po.
lice Bowers today received word from
Leavenworth. Kan, to the effect that
Charles Mccartney. suspected OF the
murder of Grace Burns in this city
on the evening Of July 21. 1907, and
who has been serving term In the
federal penitenuary for robbing the
United States mail, will not be liber-
ated until September 1.
Though plans had been made for
the liberation of Mccartney ON August
8, his time is not up until September
1, and the general belief is that the
recent agitation in connection with
the Grace Burns case is responsible
for the change in plans.

again without cause. His photo was
IN the rogues' gallery and kept there
despite the fact that the boy was
earning an honest livelihood and had
splendid reputation. His mother
went to Gaynor and told her troubles.
Without accepting any remuneration
Gaynor took UP the case. raked the
police department from head to foot,
and secured the removal of the pic
ture. Three policemen were dismiss
ed from the force. and when Gaynor
became mayor he openly accused the
police department head, General Bing-
ham, of protecting the system Of
abuse and persecution. Bingham's
resignation speedily followed.
Rasded Police.
Mayor Gaynor's insistence that the
police of New York comply with the
law as strictly, and more SO. than any
ordinary citizen. is one of the things
that has endeared him to the populace
Of New York. While Justice of the
supreme court of Brooklyn. he SEN
fenced Police Captain Kline to ninety
days imprisonment for placing in the
Rogue's gallery picture of a banker
accused of irregularities. despite the
courts order that hc refrain from,
taking the picture until the mans
conviction.
Judge Gaynor's action effectively
stopped the police practice of taking
pictures of people before conviction.
Stopped Illegal Raids.
Police abuse in the form of legal
writ. was one, of the things whic!,
Mayor Gaynor cried ont against most
effectively. Again and again he re-
leased the inmates of houses illegally
raided. and by threatening police Of
ficers with Imprisonment finally sue
ceeded in righting this form of abuse.

Failure

Winnipeg, Aug. 10.-Just $4,000 in
cold coin of the realm is the sim that
Samuel Stone. a resident of Winnipeg
for a year past, antecedents some
what hazy, realized from one of the
smoothest pieces Of bond raising"
ever perpetrated in Canada. Accord
ing to reports received in the city yes
terday, Stone lies cold in death in a
small town in Montana, having died
by his own hand when he realized that
he could not get away with his ILL

year ago. He lived life of ease.

nents. Within the last few months
he started trading in stocks through
the firm! of Osler. Hammond and Ma
non. and it was through this firm that
ne pulled off his big coup and dis
appeared about three weeks ago.
Stone is alleged to have bought one
share each Of Union Pacific. st. Paul.
and Great Northern. receiving the
usucl certificates. These he skillfully
raised by placing an eight" in front
Of the one. He disposed of the raised
certificates without trouble, and his
profit on the transaction was just
$4,000.
Forgery Discovered.
The forgery was discovered before
Stone left the city, and he was shal-
owed by operatives from one of the
detective agencies but succe eded in
getting away to the south before a
warrant for his arrest had been is
sued. Yesterday the news reached
the city of his suicide.

antecedents. He claimed to have

fully and took whole year to work
them out He formed many acquaint-
ances in the city. and but few weeks

whom he was doing a considerable
business.
Took Own Life.
The forgery of the certificates was
not discovered until they had been sent
to New York for transfer. Detectives
were on his trail the next day, and it
is supposed that the knowledge that
he could not escape drove Stone to
take his own life.

Little Earl woodward Dies at the

Efforts of Physicians Frontal
Bone Fractured-COrOner hewitt
WithhOIds Certificate.

So unusual are the circumstances at
tending the death of Earl Woodward,
eighteen months old, who died at the
Children's Hospital at 1915 o'clock last
night, that Coroner hewitt has withheld
a certificate Of death, pending further
investigation.
The child and his mother lived at the
American Salvation Army Home.
While his mother was al market yes
terday several Of Earls playmates went
70 Mai. Smalley. who is in charge Of the
home, and told her Earl was asleep in
the yard and would not play with them.
Mrs Smalley thought it strange that
the child should be asleep on the pave
ment She found he was breathing regu-
larly and there was no evidence that he
was not sleeping peacefully.
Laid Him on Couch.
She carried him in the house and laid
him on a couch, where he lay quietly
from II o'clock until nearly g.
At that hour the child became restless
and developed signs Of commissions. DR..
Taylor Jones, OF 22S First street north
west. was summoned. and after an ex-
animation. he called in DR.. H. W. Law
son. one OF the police surgeons
These physicians after a thorough ex-
animation. detected beneath the slightly
bruised skin Of the forehead a deep
fracture Of the frontal bone. that called
for immediate attention.
With the consent of the mother. the
child was taken in an automobile to the
Chlldren's Hospital where II was ad-
mitted at o'clock. Everything was done
TO save the child, but at 1915 o'clock 1t
died
DR.. J. Ramsey hewitt was notified, and
after learning the circumstances tele-
phoned a request to the detective office
that Central Office men be assigned TO
make a thorough investigation Of the
case
Detective sergt. Patrick O'Brien was
sent out on the case and on returning
to headquarters at an early hour this
morning reported that while he had been
unable to obtain definite information as
TO the manner in which the fracture was
inflicted, there was nothing, so far as he
could ascertain, that would warrant be-
lief that the injury had been received
IN other than an accidental way.
