MYSTERIOUS DEATH
ARRESTS DISGRACE
MURDER OR SUICIDE PRECEDES
BIGGEST OF RAILROAD
SCANDALS.

Chicago, July 27.--Whether Ira g.
Rawn, president OF the Monon road,
was killed by a burglar in his home
in Winnetka Wednesday, or whether,
as stated by the Chicago police, he
committed suicide, railroad men Ge-
clared yesterday his death occurred
on the eve of what may develop to
be one of the greatest scandals III
railroad history.
The questions asked Rawn at the
hearing, July Z, in the Illinois Cen
trail car repair cases, all were
planned, it is said, with intent to in
eliminate Rawn as being responsible
for the losses to the road.
Rawn, it is further declared, knew
of the purpose of counsel of the road
and had sought by every legal means
to delay an examination. Twice on
personal pleas he had obtained post
ponements, but his last effort had
failed, and the examination was to
have been continued next Tuesday.
The air of secrecy was lifted from
the RdWH nome yesterday anu Inc
newspapermen were summoned. Up~
on their arrival announcement was
made that a second bullet, the afg-
sence of which had added to the APP
pearance of suicide, had been discov-
cred.
The bullet was found, according To
c. F. Hately, who is conducting the
investigation, in the ashes of fire
place, almost in a direct line of fire
from where the death of Rawn result

A DIAMOND STORY.
The Way . Russian Princess Disposss
Of Her Jewels.


A few years ago Ludwig Nissen,
well known wholesale dealer Of
the Maiden lane district, was in the
office of a diamond merchant in
LONDON when stranger came in
and offered an unusually beautiful
stone for sale. The Enghshman
did not care to buy But Nissen
thought he saw hin. But he
was not willing ~ until he
learned who OWL e stone and
where it had com, n. The man
said he represented friend, a wo-
man, who did not care TO have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. II he could not learn the
owners name be would not buy
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman's
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters of the city. 1t
turned out that she was a Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
in a nihilist movement. OF all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one of the finest collections Of
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth 100000 or 100000.
Eve sell them a few at a time"
she explained, "just enough Of
them each year TO give US living.
Perhaps you will wonder why We
don't sell them all and live on the
interest Of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit.
The money would not last a year.
So we part from them piecemeal.
] estimate that there are enough Of
them to keep US twenty years, and
l don't expect to live longer than
that"
One Of those diamonds forms the
centerpiece of one of the most val
liable necklaces in New York. A
few others are sent to this country
every year. In the diamond horse
shoe" at the opera there is never q
night when there are not some Of
the jewels of the exiled princess on
view.-New York Tribune.

Time. Not Space.

Mrs. Frink was a trusting soul
and rarely questioned the opinions
Of others about matters concerning
which they were supposed to be in
formed. One day he came home
with a new pair Of shoes under her
arm. Got them al l.ride's." she
explained, "and they're the best
ever bought YOU
what il 50 very good about
them ?" inquired her son, for whom
the shoes were intended.
"Why, the salesman said that you
could walk farther ID them than in
any Others without getting tired,
and l said that you couldn't walk
very far just now on account OF
your knee, you know, and he said
that he meant farther for the same
distance. So | bought them, and
here they are. Save the string,
please"
She did not notice the smile on
her sons face as he undid the pack
age, and he was spared the trouble
Of explaining. = Youths Compan-
