CLERK
DESERTS HIM

Copenhagen, Jan. 15.-Walter
Lonsdale is the most recent of the
former associates and employees OF
DR. Cook to admit distrust of the
man whose claim to the discovery OF
the north pole was rejected by the
University of Copenhagen.
Lonsdale has remained loyal until
now, but says he is beginning to
doubt. Lonsdale states that he re-
ceived a letter from Cook under date
of Dec. "a and mailed from a city
in northern Spain. According to this
letter, Cook was on sea from Dec.
4 to Dec. "a, and accordingly was not
acquainted with the decision of the
examining committee when the let
ter was written.
Since the receipt of this letter
Lonsdale says he has heard nothing
from Cook. Lonsdale has addressed
several kilograms to Cook at a point
where Lonsdale thcught the explorer
could be reached.
Lonsdale estimates that $4,000
was cleared by Cook from the exploi-
tation of the latter's artic reputation.

LORD ASHbURTON IS
AGAIN IN TROUBLE

New York, Jan. 15.-Special-Chas.
F. Richards, better known to the po-
lice of this country and England un.
der the name of Lord Ashburton, was
arrested yesterday by detectives to
see whether he really had on his per
son or in his possession certain stocks
for which the police were searching
After an exhaustive examination many
stocks and bonds were found, but
not the ones looked for.
The man was held on the charge OF
attempted grand larceny. His wife
who was arrested with him, was al
lowed to go, as the police are satisfied
she could shed no light on her hus'
bands possession of the stock.
"A woman detective got acquainted
with Richards, made an appointment
with him, and induced him to offer to
sell her some stocks. Then he was
arrested. Richards said that he had
been given the stock by certain people
in Boston and he understood it to be
good stock and high class.
Richards, or Lord Ashburton, has
a long criminal record. He is listed
in the rogues' gallery under the
names of Charles 'Bertram, alias VIM
Griffis.

he can make arrangements to do so.
This decision on the part of the

city to live. Her decision is said to
meet with the approval of Zelaya.

The results Of the polling today

an encouraging number of seats, al

The popular vote goes strongly

LaPorte, Ind, Jan. 15.-Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Smith, arrested as the result
of Ray Lamphere's confession to Rev
E. A. Schell, now president Of the
Iowa Wesleyan university, made pub
lie today, was released today on a
$500 bond.
The negress, who was implicated
by the confession in the murder Of
Mrs. Bella Gunnes. and her family,
denied all the charges made by
Lamphere. The grand jury, in ses-
sion, next week may resume investi-
cation into the Guinness case.
Prosecutor Smith declares that he
intends to go to the bottom of the
negro woman's alleged connection
with the death of the Guinness wom-
an and her children and the Gun
ness fire, if it is possible.
The Truelson confession may yet
play an important part in the case.
This confession was made in May,
1908, by julius Truelson, of New
York, now serving a term for forgery
in Texas. 1t was Investigated by
Albert Shutter, then sheriff of La
Porte county. Truelson claimed to
have visited the Guinness farm before
the fire and he told much about the
case, but the officers concluded he
was romancer.
1t is possible that Truelson may be
brought here because features of his
confession bear striking resemblan
ces to the Lamphere confession.

IN THE GRAY CASE

Fargo, Jan. 15.-Just before the

eral court that the governments case
against c. NJ. Gray charged with
forging the name of Julius Sampson
to the REIMBURSEMENT Of claim
which was later filed at the United
States landoffice at Willston was
complete.
At the opening Of court this after
noon Judge w. S. Lauder Of Wahpe-
ton outlined the case of the defepse
before the jury. He claims that Gray
who was in business at Crosby, N. D. :"
as banker, real estate dealer, and
land attorney, purchased relln
quishment to a piece of land, which
he sold to a land seeker. It appears
that a man named julius Sampson
had filed a contest and the first re-
linquishment was worthless until
this had been cleared up. Gray as
serts that he looked for Sampson and
was unable to find him and that fin
ally a man giving his name as Jul
ius Sampson appeared and claimed
he was the man who filed the con-
test. For a consideration he signed
REIMBURSEMENT. It is this instru
ment which was a forgery for which
Gray is on trial. The government
claims that he signed the instrument.

Will Be Candidate for Re'Elec

Michigan is the Avowed Candidate
For the Place.
ttss0ciated n-css.)

Washington, Jan. 15.-Representa'
tive G. J. Diekma, Of Michigan, to-
day formally announced his candi-
dacy for speaker of the house of rep"
resentatives to succeed Cannon at the
end of the present session.
Speaker Cannon has made it clear
that he has no intention of resign
ing before the end of his present
term. His position is that any man
has the right to be candidate for
the speakership and what the next
congress would do could not be fore
told at this time. He has already an
nounced he would be candidate
for reelection to congress but has
never declared that he would again
be a candidate for the speakership.
Besides Mr.. Diekema, number OF
names of possible speakership can
didates have been mentioned, includ-
ing Walter I. Smith, of Iowa, men,
ber of the rules committee, Martin
E. Olmstead, Of Penna., chairman of
the insular affairs committee and
Jas. R. Mann, of Illinois,. chairman
of the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce.
Mr.. Diekema does not believe that
Mr.. Cannon will again be a candi-
date for the speakership.
81 am regular; not an insurgent'
said Mr.. Diekema.
"No man could ever give me bet
ter treatment than Cannon has given
and I think he is the fairest presid
ing officer l ever saw in the chair.
81 believe that the next speaker
ship will go to the middle west and
not to any man who has had LONG
service in congress and had close af
filiation with the men who have dom
mated congress. 1t does not seem
possible, on the other hand that the
speakership will go to any of the
present insurgents"
Diekema has been called by Can
non to preside over the house tenn
porarily three times and has served
two terms in congress. He was once
speaker of the Michigan house OF
representatives.

Several residents in the near vicin-

trace of noise except that caused
when the boulder hit the ground.
For more than twenty-four hours
the meteor kept hot. 1t was at a

It now has the appearance Of piece
of ore. People in that section will
dig it out during the next few days

Social Scandal
is Threatened in
Budapest, Austria

Vienna, Dec. 21.-Social circles in
Budapest which, not without reason
is called the paris of Hungary"
Eares, greatly disturbed over a disa-
greeable affair, the final outcome of
which is still awaited with breath
less trepidatiOn. A ladies' hair
dresser, named Vigyazo, has been
conducting an organized campaign Of
blackmail against ladies of the aris-
tocracy which appears to have been
long planned. Vigyazo, a strikingly
handsome man of, elegant appearance
and polished manners, selected the
business Of hairdresser for the sole
reason that it would bring him into
clOe connection with those circles in
which he hoped to find Victims BY
the intimate secrets of his patron
esses.
Thus finding himself in possession
Of sufficient material, he forwarded
various blackmailing letters, in one
declaring that he had entire knOwl-
edge Of lady's meeting with her
chauffeur, in another giving exact
details Of the lady's interviews with
an officer Of the hussars, while other
letters Of the same character con-
tanned scarcely yelled threats. The
price which he demanded for his ST.
lence varied from 5000 to 5000
kronen, or even more. An energetic
lady wife Of a millionaire, to whom
the blacllmailer had written by mis-
take, informed the criminal authori-
ties, who arrested the man. It soon
became known that he had commune
Gated to the police a number Of com
promising stories and threatened in
case Of trial, to divulge all the
scandalous secrets in his possession.
Shortly after his arrest the young
adVenturer, who came from an ex-
cellent and once wealthy family in
Vienna, committed suicide In his
cell, but even his tragic end has not
allayed the fear Of the indiscreet
victims Of the hairdresser. They fear
that he has left compromising notes
and papers and that their secrets
may yet become public property in
some way.

Bookkeeper Walks off
With 81, 900 Cash

: Huntington, w. Va, Dec. 21.-One
or the most sensational robberies
known i'll the history of the Tri-
state region was pcrpetrated Tuesday
morning at Catlettsburg when Geo.
Kerr, bookkeeper for Josselson
Brothers, Wholesale liquor dealers,
walked. out and away CARRYING With
him two thousand dollars in cash,
most of it being gold, the property Of
his employers. Word of the affair
reached Huntington about ten o'clock
Tuesday morning two hours after
the flight Of Kerr. The discovery
OF such a tremendous robbery had
thrown the Boyd county seat into a
condition of great excitement and
practically everyone who could spare
the time was engaged in the man
hunt. The police were dispatched
over the greatest possible area, the
search being carried to KenOVa, Ce-
redo, Ashland and all other sur
rounding towns. The Huntington
officers were asked to keep a sharp
lookout here. The most remarka-
bic part of the whole affair was the
mystery of Kerr's disappearance. He
had been in Catlettsburg only about
six weeks and was not known to ma
ny people, still he must have passed
in the daylight along one Of the
towns busest thoroughfares and sew
eral hours Of inquiry failed to bring
anyone who has seen a man answer
ing his description,
Kerr made his appearance in Cat
lettsburg about six weeks ago and
was given the position of boOkkeep-
er for the JOsselsOns. His work was
good and his conduct apparently OK
,emplary. No suspicion of wrong in
tentions was felt towards him.
Tuesday morning he was at his
desk at Work when one. of the firm
members entered the office. Mr.. JOS
selson remained until about eight
o'clock when he went out for break
fast Returning after time he
found Kerr gone. There were one
or two people about the building and
they said that Kerr had been gone
about twenty minutes. After a few
minutes Mr.. Josselson examined the
safe and discovered the loss Of his
money. He Immediately gave warn
ing to the police Of the Simultaneous
disappearing Of Kerr and the firms
money and asked that an attempt be
made to aDprehend him.
Kerr is described as being about
twenty-eight years old, Of pleasing
