DIVORCE SUIT CAUSE
OF OFFICERS SUICIDE
Captain de Crespigny Said to
Have Been Involved in
Friends Case.

London, May 3O.-Captain Claude
Champion he Crespigny ended his life
rather h a have anything to do with
the divorce suit Of Captain Sir Arthur
Spencer Holland, and his American
wife, is given by many as the real rea-
son for the crack polo players suicide.
Another reason advanced is that De
Crespigny, heavily in debt, ~despaired
when he learned that Miss Marjorie
Gould had become the wife of Mr..
DreXel. 1t Is said that when he went
to America with the birmingham Polo
club, he hoped to find an heiress whose
dowry would relieve him Of the con-
slant strain Of debt and that he was a
sutton for Miss Gouid's hand until ali
hope was lost.
Captain de Crespigny was much in
the company of Captain n Mrs. Spen-
Ger Holland, who was formerly Miss
Lulu Pfizer, daughter OF Charles TT.
Pfzer, the wealthy head OF an Amert-
can chemical manufacturing firm. This
is said to have been his impetus to seek
an American heiress.

After Killing Off Governor

Albany, N. Y, May 30.-Wtth haunt
ing visions Of being called back into
extra session because of their failure
to enact such electoral reforms as are
advocated by Governor Hughes, 200
tired legislators prepared to leave tor
their homes today.
Starting with the most sensational
bribery trial in the legislative annals
of the state, and ending in a red hot
fight oveF the various direct primary
measures, the session which ended at
noon today has been one Of the most
strenuous In years. AS q net result

tame dfavorable legislation on all his
other important recommendations.
These include the states refusal to
indorse the proposed income tax
amendment to the federal constitution;
a resolution calling for a general In
vestigation of corrupt practices the
placing OF telegraph and telephone
companies under supervision Of the
public, service commission OF the Sec

GOLDEN RULE CHIEF
NOW UNDER CHARGES

Cleveland, Ohio, May 30.-Chief or
Police Frederick Kohler, known
throughout the country as the Golden
Rule" chief and lauded by President
Roosevelt as the best chief of police
In the country, was suspended yester-
day by Mayor Baehr on charges of
gross immortality, habitual drunken-
ness and disobedience of orders,
The tentative date Of Tuesday has
been set for Chief Kohler's trial BY the
civil service commission, and state
ments by Kohler and his accusers
point to the development Of sensa-
tional testimony which may involve
many of the city's prominent men. Mr..
kohler has intimated that he intends
to fight the charges against him to a
finish, and hat IL he is disgraced he
will not be the only one to fall.
Among the charges brought against
Kohler is one hat during the seven
years he has been at the head of the
police department he has utilized the
detective force for the collection of
facts concerning prominent officials
and others to be used in the event that
he was attacked.
The present charges are the culmina-
ton of a long series of attacks against
the police chef. After he had been in
formed Of Ais suspension yesterday,
Mr.. Kohler exclaimed:

RAILWAY MEASURE is
AMENDED SOME MORE
Telephone and Telegraph Lines
Brought Under Control Of
the Government.

Washington, May 31.-At the last mo-
ment before reaching h point of vot-
ing upon the railroad bill yesterday,
the Senate took up the important step
of adding an amendment placing inter-
state telegraph and telephone lines I'M
der the supervision of the Interstate
Commerce commission. This action
was followed by an effort to restore a
portion of section II, affecting mergers,
which heretofore has been voted out.
Both provisions were introduced SO
suddenly as to surprise the Senate and
the latter was considered so important
that rather than vote upon it without
more consideration than it was able to
give the Senate took an adjournment
for the day.
The action of the Senate on telegraph
and telephone companies insures their
inclusion in ONE form in the proposed
law, as the subject is offered in the
House bill.
The suggestion for the inclusion of
telegraph and telephone companies
within the control of the Interstate
Commerce commission was made by
mately his amendment was supple
mented by one in simpler form which
was offered by Senator La Toilette, of
Wisconsin.
The result Of this amendment had no
sooner been announced h a Mr..
olOWli, VI dShd, diOSC " plcSSill
his amendment reviving a portion OF
section IL. AS presented. his amend
ment prohibits all common carriers
from acquiring any interest whatsoever
in the capital stock or of purchasing or
leasing any railroad which is competi-
tive with that OF the purchasing COM
pany. A fine of $4,000 is imposed for
each days violation of this provision,
The suggestion of this important action
following as closely as it did upon the
vote to place telegraph and telephone
companies under the control of the
commission, was more than the Senate
was willing to accept without more OPP
%portunity Of elaboration. Many pro-
tests against immediate action were
uttered, and when Senator Bacor
moved to adjourn a large number OF
senators acquiesced. BY a rising vote
the Senate decided, 81 to q, to ad-
journ, thus postponing action on the
bill and all other amendments.

CHURCH DECLARES
ON SOCIAL EVILS

Atlantic City, N. j., May s1.-The
Presbyterian General Assembly today
adopted the following report of the
committee on Social Problems"
1.-THE church declares that the getting
of wealth must be in obedience to
Christian ideals and that all wealth,
from whatever source acquired, must
be held or administered as a trust from
God for the good of fellow g The
church protests against undue desire
for wealth, untempered pursuit of gain
and the ~immoderate exaltation of rich
es, and calls for a more equitable dis
tribution of wealth.
THE church declares for the aboli-
ton of,child labor-that is, the protec-
ton of children from exploitation in in
dustry and trade, and from work that
is dwarfing, degrading or morally un-
wholesome.
1.-The church declares for the employ
ment of the methods of Cancellation
and arbitration in industrial disputes.
The church declares for the release
of every worker from work one day in
seven, and it declares further for ade-
quate protection of working people
from dangerous machinery and objec-
tionable conditions of labor.
THE church declares for some pro-
vision by which the burden imposed
by injuries and deaths from Industrial
accidents shall not be permitted to rest
on the injured person or his family"

RAPS
HIS BRETHREN HARD
Declares Church Is Advertising
Prizefight and Is Ally of
Special Privilege.

New York, May 31.-Bolton Hall, a
lawyer and author, and son of the late
Rev. DR.. John Hall, has sent an open
letter to the General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian church, rebuking that
body for its attitude in regard to the
Jeffries-Johnson fight. He says in
part:
while in every big city young girls
are snatched ava to lives of slavery,
while all over the land little children
are worked to death in our factories,
while ~monopolies put prices SC as to
increase these shrieking evils, is it
possible the church can find nothing
more serious to attack than a prize
fight, already sufficiently well adver-
tised. 1t certainly makes any one in
dignant, who has eyes to see or eyeil
heart to feel, that the great Presbyter-
ian Church Assembly spends its valu-
able time and energy over a prob
ably harmless fight between two
roughs.
self a member of the Presbyterian
church and I speak often in churches
and it makes me sick to see petty, in
effective, time-serving church organi-
cations. Whenever there is a real
fight on against political and social
evils the churches are sure to be found
dragging a red herring across the trail
with a crusade against some such hor-
ror as Sunday saloons or playing
craps Religion only makes itself
contemplate by such a bid for sup
port as anti-priZe light protest."

Washington, May 31.-Strenuous de-
NAL OF the charge that he had obtained
his seat in the United States Senate
through bribery and corruption was
made before that body today by SEN
ator William Lorimer, of Illinois. Soon
after the assembling Of the Senate. Mr..
Lorimer arose to a question of per-
sonal privilege, and began his reply to
the charges that have aroused wide
interest. His statement on the floor
of the Senate had been eagerly awaited
by his colleagues, of whom there YVES
practically a full attendance and ear
nest attention was given him.
Foremost in the answer of the SEN
ator to the charge stood his assertion
that it had been formulated by the
Chicago Tribune with the purpose Of
destroying a new banking association
in that city which Mr.. Lorimer had or
ganized. Concluding he offered a reso-
luton calling for a senatorial investt-
cation of the charges against h.m, this
resolution being as follows:
Resolved, That the committee on
privileges n elections be directed to
examine the allegations recently made
in the public press, charging that brib-
cry and corruption We're practiced In
the election of William Lorimer to a
seat in the United States Senate, and
to ascertain the facts in connection
with those charges n to report as
Dol as possible and for that purpose
the committee shall have authority to
send for persons and papers, n to
employ a s~tenographer and such other
additional help as it shall deem neces-
Sary."

FOREIGN LOAN CAUSE
OF TROUBLE in CHINA
Letter of Protest Written in
Blood Is Sent to Chinese
Authorities.

Pekin, May 31.-The opposition of the
gentry and other popular leaders in
Human and Honan provinces to the ac-
ceptance by the Chinese government, of
the Hankow-SZe-Chuen railway loan,
has not diminished. On the contrary,
the anti-foreign sentiment regarding
this particular subject is becoming
more pronounced.
This extremely hostile feeling was ex-
pressed in a startling manne recently.
President Stu Chi Tchang, Of the board
of communications, received a letter
from the leader of the opposition in
Human province, protesting against the
conclusion of the loan. The communi-
cation was written in the blood Of the
writer's severed finger.
Much un%easiness vas felt here dur
ing the outbreaks at Chang Sha and
other nearby points, n in order to
get a definite knowledge of the situa-
ton, American Minister Calhoun dis
patched Captain j. H. Reeves, military
attache at the American legation on a
tour of investigation.
Captain Reeves visited Human prov
ince, and has just returned here. He
reports that the situation generally in
the province Is encouraging. The gov
eminent troops, the captain says, are
in control of the inland points at which
the riots of the natives occur.

RICH MAN IS SAID
TO HAVE FEIGNED
DEATH IA ESCAPE
Strong Chain of Facts Cited ia
prove That Story of His
Demise Was Cooked
Up.

Pittsburg, Pa, May S1.-The declara-
zion that Dallas G. Byers, multi-mil-
l1onaire steel manufacturer, and in
'dicted CRATER, who was supposed to
have died in France last August. and
whose funeral was held in this city
months ago, is really alive n enjoy
ing life in a secluded French village,
was made here today.
A. Leo We'll, president Of the Pitts
burg Voters league, which has pushed
the council bribery investigation, says
that reports of his detectives in France
and Switzerland prove this absolutely.
Strong Chain Of Facts.
Among the facts which lend color to
the report are:
Byers turned his vast holdings of
stocks and bonds and real estate into
cash before slipping away from Pitts
burg and the bribery Investigation. He
realized something like $14, 000,0 1000. He
left directions for the distribution Of
his remaining realty among relatives,
making it unnecessary for him to leave
a will. He permitted all his life insur-
ance policies to lapse, fearing, 1t is
said. the searching investigation which
the companies would make when he
was ready to Idle"
No one in Pittsburg saw the body
over which services were held and
which was buried with due honors in a
Pittsburg cemetery. The coffin was
tightly sealed In France.
1t was not long after his flight from
Pittsburg that dispatches were received
from Dinard, France, saying that the
steel millionaire had suffered a stroke
of apoplexy and that physicians had
given up hope for his recovery. On
August 25 the word came that he had
died.
Suspicion Is Aroused.
In some manner the suspicion OF
some of Byers' relatives who were dis
appointed in the disposal he made OF
his property was aroused and a him
was dropped to the officials Of the
Voters league. Mrs. E.. M. Byers and
her daughter, Mrs. j. D.. Lyons, are
pow In Europe and detectives are
trailing them In the hope that they
will lead the way to Byers' hiding
place.
Byers was indicted for using q large
sum of money to bride members of the
Pittsburg council to vacate a street
which the Byers Steel company needed
FOR it's plant. Until he fled to Europe
he was one of P~ittsburg's richest anG
aighly regarded citizens. He belonged
