ATHLETE A BURGLAR.
1t Requires Twelve Men to Subdue and
Bind Him.

Los, Angeles, Cal, June 11.--Rasnon W.
Wiley, the former University Of Penn
sylvania athlete, was repentent when
he awoke today in the city prison,
where he was incarcerated last night
after his capture in the residence of
James M. Yankie, which he had been
caught in the act of looting. 1t was
asserted by the police that a hurried
investigation had brought confederation
of Wileys statement as to his family
ties and former prominence as an ath-
lete and the prisoner had been identified
by several former college man as one
whose athletic feats had won renown
when he was attending the Lawrence
vile public school, Princeton university
and the University of Pennsylvania
Wiley declared today that he had en-
barked upon his brief career of burglary
after a quarrel over finances with the
proprletress of seaside hotel at Venice.
He became desperate, he declared, and re-
solved that he must have money even
though he had to steal to get it, Arming
himself with a revolver he came to this
Der of saloons and in the evening walked
into the residence district and selected
the Yankie home for the beginning of his
burglar operations. Following the ath-
lete's surprise by Mr.. Yankie and the
summoning of assistance. it required the
efforts of twelve men to subdue and bind
him.
But for the presence of a fire station, a
few doors away, the men of which Joined
in the fray, he would have shaken off his
pursuers. When Wiley was searched at
police headquarters he had three diamond
rings, a gold stick pin and a gold neck
lace which he had taken from the Yankie

HOW SHE WAS SUNK
The Submarine PIuviose Has a Big
Hole in Her Stern.

Calais, France, June 1.-THE man
ner of the sinking of the French sub
marine Pluviose was revealed today
when the superstructure emerged at
low tide. A rent Is feet long and two
feet wide was found in the stern
where the submerged craft had been
struck by the channel steamer Pas De
Calais. Two bodies were recovered
before the rising tide again closed
over the wreck.
The Pluviose was sunk with her
crew of 81 men in the English chan
mel two miles off the French coast on
May 26. Since that time wreckers
have been engaged at every high tide
in towing the submarine ashore. 1t
was impossible to raise the wreck to
the surface.
Today in the shallow water of the
jetty the superstructure rose to view
and the first thorough examination
was possible. The body of Helmsman
Leberton. clad in oil skins, was found
at his post in the steering tower. The
trapdoor leading from the tower to
the compartment below was closed.
A second body had been recovered
when the returning tide forced the
suspension of the operations.
As it is now established that the
hull is filled with water, holes will be
drilled through the plates to make
possible the removal of the other
bodies. The funeral for the lost crew
will be attended by President Fallieres
and the cabinet.

MURDERER GOT $4,000.
Leavenworth Woman Put Nothing in
Bank-Stubbs Offers Reward.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 11.-Ten
thousand dollars, the police believe, is
the amount of money the murderer
of Mrs. Katherine Schultz obtained
from her home after killing the wo-
man and setting fire to her residence
here Thursday morning.
Bankers told of cases where Mrs.
Schultz had been having her small
change converted into $50 and 500
bills. During last year alone she OBJ
tanned more than $4,000 worth of
money of large denominations. In all
she got about $4,000. Not a cent of
this did she ever place in a bank.
Relatives say she spent none of it.
Therefore, the police have decided
she must have hidden the money in
her house.
There remains the possibility that
the horde remains secreted in the
house. But police and curious folk
have apparently searched every nook
and corner of the quaint old dwelling
without finding a penny.
In searching the ruins of the resi-
denee the police found a black hand
bag containing diamond ring and
about $12 in money which belonged to
Mrs. Schultz. 1t was hidden behind a
dresser. and had evidently been over

NO PEACE, JUST TRUCE.
That Is situation With Reference te
Denver Ball Team.

1t seems that the peace which has
been patched up in the camp of the
Grizzly Bears, who play a double
header with the Cooleysox tomorrow,
is only temporary. Gunthorpe, who
owns a half interest in the team, and
who has been travelling with it, has
taken a vacation
1t is still either buy or sell with
Magill, president of the club, according
to Denver dope. If Gunthorpe should
sell, Hendricks, now manager of the
team, would purchase his interest
through Magin
Hendricks is temporary secretary of
the club, according to the Denver dis
patches and Sam Murbarger, the
trainer, whose dismissal at the hands
of Gunthorpe precipitated the row, is
with the team. Meanwhile Denver is
trying to buy more cast off big league
pitchers and Magill declares he will
spend every cent necessary to win a
pennant for Denver.

TAFT GIVES 1T UP.
Acknowledges Defeat on One Section
of Proposed Railroad Law.

Washington, June 11-As the re-
suit of President Taft's insistence that
the new railroad bill include some
provision looking to the control of
the new issues of stocks and bonds bv
railroad companies, it was decided at
White House conference to add a
paragraph to the bill providing for a
commission to investigate and report
at the next session of congress the
best means of dealing with this sit
uation.
The president was told again TODAY
that with all the Democrats but one
opposed to giving the interstate COM
merce commission power on this sub
ject, it was impossible to get an out
and out provision for the control of
stock and bond issues in the bill at
this session.
There were present at the conference
at the White House Speaker Cannon
Senators Elkins and Aldrich, and Rep
resentat1ve Mann, of the conferees, and
Attorney General Wickershan
The president called the conference to
indicate more clearly to the conferees
that he wished the house provision Civ
Ing the Interstate commerce commits
sion supervision over stock and bond
issues, retained in the bill. He declar-
ed again that the party had pledged
itself to enact legislation which would
prevent the overissue of securities, or
stock watering as the practice is more
generally known.
The senate conferees said there were
complications which made it impossi-
bic to force such a provision through
the senate at this time.
The president was told that every
Democratic senator. with one excep-
ton, was opposed to the supervisory
provision on the ground that it in
fringed the rights of the state to
supervise corporations chartered under
state laws. Other senator's in the Re
publican ranks, were opposed to the
provision on similar grounds, and be-
cause of pressure from their home
states.
The outcome of the conference. as sta
ted, was that a paragraph should be
added to the bill, authorizing the APP
pointment of commission to make an
investigation looking to the solution of
this phase of railroad control and di-
recting report at the next session of
congress.
The president declared at the con-
clusion of the conference that he would
continue to urge legislation to prevent
watering of railroad stocks SO long as
he was in the White House.

HULL CAN RUN YET.
Iowa Congressman Has Been Nom
mated by the Prohibitionists.

Des Moines, June 11.-Congressnan
J. A. T. Hull, who was defeated for
the Republican, nomination for con-
gress from the Seventh district by
Judge S. F. Prouty can oppose Prouty
at the election this fall if he so de-
sires. Captain Hull was nominated for
congress on the Prohibition ticket.
The Prohibitionists had no candidate
for congress, the choice being left to
the voters, and Captain HuIl's name
was written by two voters. Other men
received one vote each for the place
and so, inasmuch as Hull got 100 per
cent more votes than any other Pro-
hibition candidate, he is the lawful
nominee for congress.

put things in readiness for the flying
event.
In order to facilitate the handling
of the crowds a double fence has
been put up along the field with a
space of 25 feet between the wires.
This gives a commodious passage way
down which the people passed on their
way to the bleachers, thus affording
a protection from the autos which
lined up back of the first fence facing
the aviation field. Along the second
fence bordering on the field hundreds
of people gathered to watch the fly

to pay the extra fifty cents for a seat

THEY HAVE A new PLAN
Railroads May Charge Extra for Pull
man Passengers.

Chicago, June 1.-THE latest move
to secure more revenue for the rail-
roads is a plan to charge an excess
fare for all passengers riding in Pull
man and parlor cars
With view to discussing this prop
osition a conference between commit
tees representing all the passenger as
sociations of the United States has
been called for June 21 in New York
city.
1t has been suggested that the penal
ty ought to be as great as 1 cent a
mile, make the Pullman rate 8 cents
and the coach rate cents per mile.
